Ex-Pope Benedict XVI is "lucid and alert" but still in a serious but stable condition, the Vatican has said.

Pope Francis warned on Wednesday that his 95-year-old predecessor was very ill and appealed to everyone to pray for him.

The Vatican said on Thursday that the former Pope "was able to rest well last night".

Benedict XVI became the first leader of the Catholic Church to stand down in 600 years in 2013, citing advanced age.

When he was elected Pope in 2005 at the age of 78 he had earned a reputation as a conservative enforcer of Church doctrine.

Born Joseph Ratzinger, he was the first German Pope for 1,000 years, but his health was already in decline and within eight years he decided he no longer had the ability to fulfil his office properly.

After Pope Francis alerted the world to his predecessor's failing health, the Vatican put out an initial statement confirming there had been an "aggravation" due to advancing age. In a further statement, on Thursday, it said "although his condition remains serious, the situation at the moment is stable".

The Pope visited Benedict on Wednesday at the Mater Ecclesiae monastery, within the Vatican walls, and where he has lived since he stepped down. The former Pope is now under the constant supervision of doctors.

Little is known about his condition and Italian news agency Ansa quoted sources as saying nothing has changed in the past 24 hours.

Benedict has lived at Mater Ecclesiae, a converted convent, since Francis was elected Pope in March 2013.

Although he had been suffering from poor health, his decision to resign came as a surprise as no pope had done so since Gregory XII in 1415.

His papacy was marked by a scandal involving child sexual abuse by priests. Two reports in 2009 detailed the extent of paedophilia and cover-ups within the Irish Church - and it later emerged that almost 400 priests had been defrocked by Benedict in 2011 and 2012.

Earlier this year the former Pope accepted that errors had been made in handling sexual abuse cases while he was Archbishop of Munich from 1977 to 1982.

A German inquiry commissioned by the Church found that he had failed to act in four cases. Benedict denied wrongdoing but asked forgiveness for any "grievous fault".

Uzbekistan's health ministry has said that 18 children have died after drinking a cough syrup manufactured by Indian drug maker Marion Biotech.

The ministry said that preliminary tests showed a batch of the medicine contained ethylene glycol, a toxic substance.
The children were given the Dok-1 Max syrup without a doctor's prescription, it said.
The amount they consumed also exceeded the standard dose for children.
The allegation from Uzbekistan comes weeks after The Gambia also linked child deaths to cough syrups made by another Indian firm.
India's health ministry said in a statement that its officials have been "in regular contact with the national drug regulator of Uzbekistan regarding the matter" since 27 December.
It added that health officials have conducted an inspection of Marion Biotech's facility in Noida in Uttar Pradesh state.
"The samples of the cough syrup have been taken from the manufacturing premises and sent to Regional Drugs Testing Laboratory, Chandigarh for testing," the statement added.
Marion Biotech has not responded to the BBC's request for comment yet.
News agency ANI has quoted a Marion Biotech executive as saying that the company has halted production of the syrup temporarily. He added that the government was conducting an enquiry and that the firm would take action accordingly.
Marion Biotech is based in Noida, near India's national capital Delhi. Its website is currently down, but the company's LinkedIn page says it was founded in 1999 and that its products are "household names in Central Asian countries, Central and Latin America, South East Asia and Africa".
India produces a third of the world's medicines, mostly in the form of generic drugs.
The country, home to some of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical companies, is known as the "world's pharmacy" and meets much of the medical needs of developing countries.
The Uzbek ministry statement, dated 27 December, says that Dok-1 Max tablets and syrup have been sold in the country since 2012.
"It was found that the deceased children, before admission to hospital treatment, took this drug at home for 2-7 days, 3-4 times a day, 2.5-5ml, which exceeds the standard dose of the drug for children," the ministry said.
The statement did not specify over what time period the deaths occurred. BBC Monitoring had reported on 23 December, citing news website Gazeta.uz, that Uzbek authorities were investigating "claims that 15 children died in central Samarkand region over the past two months after taking a cough syrup made in India".
On 26 December, Podrobno.uz news website reported that 21 children - 15 of them under the age of three - were treated for acute kidney failure "allegedly caused by the India-made cough syrup Dok-1 Max between September and December". Three of the patients recovered.
The ministry also said that "preliminary laboratory studies have shown that this series of Dok-1 Max syrup contains ethylene glycol".
In October, the World Health Organization (WHO) had sounded a global alert and linked four India-made cough syrups to the deaths of 66 children from kidney injuries in The Gambia. It said tests on samples of the syrup showed that they contained unacceptable amounts of toxic substances diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol.
Both the Indian government and the company, Maiden Pharmaceuticals, have denied the allegations.
India said earlier in December that tests on the four syrups showed that they complied with specifications, and a government official told the BBC that the WHO had been "presumptuous" in blaming the syrups. But the WHO said it stood by the action taken.
Last week, a parliamentary committee in The Gambia recommended prosecution of Maiden Pharmaceuticals after weeks of investigation. The committee also recommended banning all products by the firm in the country.

Fckin useless outdated phones. Thank God say my LE6 no join d list.

I was listening to the radio this evening where a caller said the state pays the salaries of police officers. That for example someone from Delta will be paid by the Delta state government even if they were to be transferred to another state to serve. But on the other hand, another caller called to say it's a lie that the states pay the police force, that the federal government is solely responsible for payment of police salaries. Even the supposed 20% increments announced by the FG since last year has not even be implemented yet. So just to be sure, I really want to know, who pays the salaries of the Nigerian police force?

I heard a story of where dis dantata will give out business loan to people, when they come back with the money, he will tell them to go back with it and return when they are sure of having made enough good business profits with the loan, because taking out the loan amount might affect their business at an early stage. Such a nice man!

Nigeria needs sanity on all fronts.
Since I've been travelling all over UK and Europe, I've not seen any convoy of any politician, but in Nigeria, common BBN celebrities use police escorts and convoy. Now imagine how many covoys we'll have on our pothole riddled roads with their reckless driving.

In the UK, the only siren I hear is that of ambulance, police and fire service.
But in my motherland, even PA'S to politicians sent to go and bring prostitutes for their oga will be blowing siren.

Government-owned robbers and killers!

Ken4Christ:
The story is incomplete. Was it an accidental discharge or intentional killing?

If it was intentional, then there is more to it. It is a paid assassination. But why would he do it knowing he will be caught.

Perhaps, he feels he will just be dismissed. And whoever paid him as promised to settle him big time.

The FG should please remove the immunity clause on erring officers cause I have never heard of them being sentenced to death for killing.

Even if they are jailed today, they are later released after a few years.
