Stephen Sackur speaks to the General Bishop of the UK's Coptic Church' Bishop Angaelos. Ahead of the Pope's trip to Egypt, is there any future for Christians in the Middle East?

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to the General Bishop of the Coptic Church in the UK, Bishop Angaelos. In just a few days from now, Pope Francis will fly to Egypt to offer his personal support to Egypt's Coptic Christians. He will be met by a community filled with apprehension, targeted by jihadist extremists and subject to persistent discrimination and sectarian violence. Elsewhere in the Middle East in Syria and Iraq, the plight of Christians is even worse. Do Christians have any future at all in the Middle East?
