So many people lined up to see Pope Francis lying in state at St. Peter’s Basilica that the Vatican kept the doors open all night, closing for just one hour from 6 a.m. until 7 a.m. Thursday. The Vatican said more than 50,000 people had paid their last respects in the first 12 hours of the public viewing, which started at 11 a.m. Wednesday. Francis, who died Monday after a stroke, is lying in a simple wooden coffin in front of the main altar, inclined on a slight ramp toward mourners. The Vatican had announced that the basilica would be open until midnight, but then indicated it would extend the hours due to higher-than-expected turnout.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran has agreed to allow in a technical team from the U.N. nuclear watchdog to discuss restoring camera surveillance at its nuclear sites. IAEA head Rafael Mariano Grossi spoke to reporters in Washington on Wednesday after meetings with Iranian leaders in Tehran last week. Grossi says it's a promising sign for U.S.-Iran talks over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. Grossi says Iranian leaders appear to be engaged in the talks “with a sense of trying to get to an agreement." The U.S. is looking to ensure Iran doesn’t develop nuclear weapons, while Iran wants the easing of sanctions that have damaged its economy.
