Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Rome, November 25 - Pope Francis landed back in Rome at about 4 p.m. local time on Tuesday after a quick trip to Strasbourg where he gave two speeches, one to the European Parliament and the other to the Council of Europe.
    The papal flight, on an Alitalia Airbus A320, had left Rome early in the day laden with Vatican officials and about 50 journalists.
    The pope had urged European leaders to pull together a "united response" to the waves of migrants arriving on the continent, and to find ways to develop flexible, functioning labour policies to create essential employment.
    He warned that Europe was beginning to look elderly and haggard and had to find a way to rejuvenate itself.
