00:00:07It's 1 p.m. in Paris. Welcome,
00:00:09Formerly known as the Venice of we continue to follow the visit of Leon XIV in France. The faithful are increasingly
00:00:12numerous in Place de la Concorde, on the Champs-Élysées and everywhere else,
00:00:16including opposite the National Assembly. It's quite
00:00:19impressive. The Pope will celebrate an XXL mass starting at
00:00:233 p.m. We will meet Anne Corpe and Marie Chester, both
00:00:27located at key points
00:00:30Bishop of Rome, thus of the site. This morning, the Pope had many meetings. He
00:00:33spoke with ecumenical groups after visiting a center for the reception and integration
00:00:36of exiled people. He called for living together in dignity
00:00:40jets, stopping subsidizing with and peace. We will talk about it with Constance Colona, Cesar, who is
00:01:04that was the main news, we're taking
00:01:10The faithful have therefore begun to pray in Place de la Concorde and on the Champs-Élysées. They
00:01:13key moments in the life of Jesus. They
00:01:17still have 2 hours to wait before the mass begins. The Pope
00:01:21will descend the Champs-Élysées from 2:15 p.m.
00:01:25When fighting against climate change, political We find Marie Chester in the crowd on the Champs.
00:01:28Marie, hello! The crowd is becoming more and more compact
00:01:32even though there are still nearly 2 hours to wait
00:01:35for this... yes, indeed, there are
00:01:38still 2 hours to wait. These 2 hours during
00:01:42which we have the possibility of praying
00:01:46with the
00:01:48dignity, respect for Kateo television channel which broadcasts a certain number of prayers, and
00:01:52then you can see it perhaps behind me, all along the Champs-Élysées from the Arc de Triomphe
00:01:56to Place de la Concorde.
00:02:22political awakening during the
00:02:38alive, vibrant, open, and diverse, it was
00:02:41important, and then to receive the Pope in
00:02:44France, it's a real joy, so I wanted to be present. In what way is this a
00:02:48historic moment for you? Had you seen other Popes before him?
00:02:52Well yes, I'm well over 30 years old, so I had
00:02:56the opportunity as a student to welcome
00:02:59John Paul II during World Youth Day. I have very
00:03:03strong memories of it. But since I was born, I think the Pope has
00:03:06come to France three times, and maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think
00:03:10so. And so it was important to be
00:03:12present. How do you, as a Catholic, feel about the fact that more
00:03:16and more adults are attracted to this religion? Well,
00:03:20listen, I think life is not always simple and the
00:03:24world is not always easy.
00:03:27all the way to It's still a religion of love and hope, and so, it's true that it's something
00:03:31extremely comforting on a daily basis
00:03:33and I must also say during more difficult times, especially
00:03:37during more difficult times. So you live in Paris, it was
00:03:41relatively practical to be able to see Pope Leon
00:03:44here at this mass organized on the Champs-Élysées. Are you
00:03:47going to follow him also in Lourdes and in Amesse? Well, I'm going to
00:03:52perhaps the continuation of follow him on TV in Lourdes and in Amesse, but no, I won't be
00:03:55that Leon XIV traveling.
00:03:58the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump Thank you. You can see that there's a lot of... It's very joyful here on the Champs
00:04:01Élysées, a lot of people who are meeting up and who are very
00:04:05happy to see the Pope in person, the Pope who
00:04:08will pass right next to us, barely
00:04:123 meters from us. We are just behind the barriers. There are
00:04:162 hours left to wait. Thank you very much, Marie. You speak of joy,
00:04:19indeed what we don't see in the image are these thousands of people,
00:04:23these faithful who are flocking towards the Champs-Élysées and Place de la
00:04:26Concorde, singing in the streets to pass the time with...
00:04:30uh, the
00:04:32continues no matter what in the streets of police officers who are filtering all of this and who
00:04:35obviously we also see, not in these images, but a security that is
00:04:39extremely reinforced. We saw snipers positioned on the roof
00:04:42of the National Assembly, but all
00:04:45social and climate mobilizations throughout this remains very joyful in the streets, that's what we feel.
00:04:48Indeed, Anne Corpe, you are
00:04:51at the top of the Champs-Élysées on the roof of Publicis. So we are preparing,
00:04:55as I mentioned, for a very large-scale
00:04:57event.
00:05:01Yes, as Marie just said, 60,000 people are expected,
00:05:04which is nearly three times more than the number of people who
00:05:08attended the last papal mass held in
00:05:11Paris. That was in 2008
00:05:13with Pope Benedict XVI.
00:05:16And the security measures initially planned have been expanded
00:05:20since the Avenue de la Grande Armée, which is behind the Arc de
00:05:24Triomphe behind me, is now part
00:05:27of the area where the crowd gathers. It is
00:05:31becoming more and more dense from our privileged position
00:05:34here on the terrace of Publicis, we
00:05:38can clearly see the rows growing along the
00:05:41sidewalks. With indeed an impressive
00:05:45security system, there are 15,000
00:05:48law enforcement personnel who have been mobilized for
00:05:51this papal visit and elite snipers
00:05:54positioned on the roofs just above us, by the way, on the Publicis terrace,
00:05:57there are some
00:06:01elite snipers. So the requisition of this
00:06:05public space for the organization
00:06:08of a religious service has been condemned by
00:06:11some as an attack on secularism, but
00:06:15Pope Leo XIV responded to them yesterday by
00:06:18explaining that secularism did
00:06:21not consist of banning religion from public space. This
00:06:25was perceived as an implicit criticism of the National
00:06:28Rally's program which plans to ban the wearing of the
00:06:32Islamic veil in public spaces. Marine Le Pen
00:06:35will also attend the mass at the Concorde later. She won't be
00:06:39the only presidential candidate since
00:06:42Edouard Philippe, Gabriel Attal
00:06:46and Bruno Rotailot will
00:06:49also be present for this mass. The Pope is expected
00:06:53to once again deliver his message of peace, his
00:06:57call for respect for human
00:07:01alterity and the right to life. Thank you
00:07:04very much Anne. Yes, we know that Emmanuel Macron will not participate in this
00:07:08mass. He is represented in principle by his wife Brigitte Macron as
00:07:12well as the Prime Minister. We continue to talk about it with you, Constance
00:07:15Colonna Césari, hello, thank you for accompanying
00:07:19us for this day of Leon XIV's visit. So the Pope
00:07:23will be able to gauge the vitality of the Catholic faith in
00:07:26France, with this great mass in particular. Did the Vatican
00:07:29expect such a welcome? Listen,
00:07:33it progressed, we know that since this news was
00:07:36improvised in the Pope's agenda, that is to say very, very quickly even
00:07:40in the summer, every almost every hour,
00:07:44every 24 hours that passed, there were signs
00:07:47that the scale was growing
00:07:50finally, to the point that places, the gauges of
00:07:54these events were increased and to the point that
00:07:57the event was expanded to begin with, it was
00:08:01considered that he could not simply go to Les Invalides
00:08:04or the Longchamp
00:08:07racecourse, as had been considered for a while for reasons
00:08:10of reception and capacity. So, and also
00:08:13to expand the possibility
00:08:17for pilgrims to come to mass, pilgrim or not pilgrim, for that matter,
00:08:21all French people or even tourists, there is no
00:08:24notion of Catholic or not Catholic,
00:08:27obviously. So it's absolutely free to access for
00:08:31everyone and it's free, of course, I remind you, just like the seats at the
00:08:35Stade de France yesterday, but it had to be extended
00:08:40Avenue de la Grande Armée, on the other side, so it's really
00:08:43a very, very large perimeter and I think yes, it surprised, it
00:08:47surprised the organizers who had to dig into their pockets
00:08:50and it's the budget that pays, that pays for this
00:08:54whole visit, we remind you, it's not the state at all, obviously, but
00:08:58it's an obviously enthusiastic sign that
00:09:01is also part of
00:09:04the enthusiasm
00:09:07received during his trip to Spain, so it's
00:09:11a capital that was not traveled by Pope
00:09:14Francis, and well, finally, it throws itself
00:09:18on his successor and it fills stadiums, so it's
00:09:21interesting. So this morning has been active already for the
00:09:25Pope. Leon XIV continued his time of speaking and reflection with different
00:09:29actors of civil and religious society. He went earlier this morning to the
00:09:32house of Bakita located in northern Paris where he spoke with
00:09:36exiled people taken in by the diocese in this reception center. This
00:09:40visit was meticulously planned but it allowed him to insist on the need to live
00:09:44together. I suggest you listen to Leon XIV.
00:09:47I address my thanks particularly to those who
00:09:51shared their testimony.
00:09:55The name of your support and
00:09:59social integration center, which
00:10:02refers to Saint Bakita,
00:10:06encourages us to recognize the fundamental role
00:10:09of women in building a civilization.
00:10:13Love as the alternative to the
00:10:16culture that disaggregates communities and
00:10:19makes cities sick with
00:10:21loneliness.
00:10:23Another highlight: at the Catholic Institute, a meeting with catechumens. The Pope
00:10:27also went to Saint
00:10:29Joseph's Church.
00:10:32The Pope tries to understand this impulse that young adults have
00:10:35for Catholicism, this new fervor
00:10:39that brings people who were not brought up by their families to
00:10:43the Catholic church, these people we call catechumens, these
00:10:47adult baptisms who choose the religion, the Catholic
00:10:50faith. How to understand, when one is
00:10:55in charge of the Church, this phenomenon in a society like French
00:10:58society. So the Pope said, "I am amazed by the number of
00:11:02people who ask for baptism in a society marked by such a
00:11:06secularized culture. This phenomenon contradicts
00:11:09pessimism, all that
00:11:13was thought, all that made it seem
00:11:16impossible that practices,
00:11:20conversions, and perhaps even ordinations would
00:11:23revive in France. So there's something
00:11:27very important for the Church of Rome that doesn't understand, that can't
00:11:30explain why this phenomenon,
00:11:34indeed, the ways of two are impenetrable,
00:11:37they say. Thank you very much, Constance. So after Paris, the Pope will fly
00:11:41to Lourdes. The last Pontiff to go there was
00:11:45Benedict XVI in 2008. There too, Leon XIV will celebrate a
00:11:49mass. The city and its surroundings are preparing to respond to
00:11:52this large influx. You see these live images
00:11:56from the Grotto of Lourdes, which is preparing to receive and
00:11:59welcome the Pope. This is a report by Anne-Sophie Estruc
00:12:03and Romain Hauteville for
00:12:05France.
00:12:07In this building in the city center of Pau, Jérôme Tapie has six
00:12:11short-term rentals, all full with the arrival of Pope
00:12:15Leon XIV. Paris came after having been reserved in
00:12:18Tarbes and Lourdes, of course it was in Pau that the reservations took
00:12:22place. I benefit from dynamic pricing. With a
00:12:25software that recalculates prices every night, prices have naturally
00:12:28risen. With 150,000 people expected in
00:12:31Lourdes, accommodation options are limited. So it's in the royal
00:12:35city that pilgrims are looking for accommodation. Well, we're going to be fully booked for the whole
00:12:38weekend. In the Hautes Pyrénées, hotel offers were
00:12:41full from spring. In Pau, the 75 rooms of this
00:12:455-star hotel have all been reserved for a few days. So we asked
00:12:49ourselves the question, we said, "Yes, we will have visitors from March, April, May," when
00:12:52they started telling us that the Pope was coming, but there were many reservations and it really started
00:12:56to pick up in July where, well, we said, "This is interesting,"
00:13:00and we hoped for the best, it's happening so it's great. The Pope's arrival
00:13:04is an event comparable to the attendance during the Tour de
00:13:07France. There will be very good special editions
00:13:11on our channels from 2 p.m. to
00:13:15follow this walk of the Pope on the Champs-Élysées and then
00:13:18this mass in Place de la Concorde. It is
00:13:221:13 p.m. in Paris. In international news, we continue to follow developments
00:13:26in the Middle East. The Houthis targeted the Saudi capital as well as a large city in the
00:13:29southwest. These attacks have continued for 10
00:13:33days and have had consequences on Saudi
00:13:36oil exports. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman requested
00:13:40the intervention of Donald Trump but without success. For now, the kingdom is
00:13:43also awaiting potential military support from its Pakistani
00:13:47and Turkish partners.
00:13:50Donald Trump rejected the Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of
00:13:54Hormuz. The president preferred to publish on his social network a map
00:13:57representing the Strait with the mention "Trump
00:14:01Strait". The mid-term elections in 5 weeks seem
00:14:04to influence the preferred strategy by the
00:14:08president, Axel Simon.
00:14:10Have you talked about the war with Iran? Yes, will there be progress regarding the
00:14:14Strait of Hormuz? I think we will make excellent progress.
00:14:18Announced progress that will still take time. According to
00:14:23refused Friday an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of
00:14:27Hormuz within 7 days, which is currently locked. The proposal
00:14:31formulated by Tehran through Qatari mediators
00:14:34provided for the reopening of this strategic
00:14:37maritime route and the suspension of fighting in the region, including in
00:14:40Lebanon. In return, broader negotiations would have been
00:14:44initiated, the United States would have lifted the blockade of Iranian
00:14:47ports, unfrozen funds, and renounced oil
00:14:51sanctions targeting Iran. Inadmissible for Donald Trump.
00:14:55The American president believes, according to the Wall Street Journal, that the Islamic
00:14:59Republic will not keep its commitments. The American
00:15:01president would not rule out a resumption of strikes in Iran after the
00:15:05mid-term legislative elections on November 3rd. These are unacceptable
00:15:09threats according to the head of Iranian diplomacy.
00:15:12Iran accepts neither coercion, nor
00:15:15threats, nor intimidation and will not renounce its sovereign rights under
00:15:19pressure. Sovereignty is not
00:15:21conditional.
00:15:25does not mean capitulation, and peace cannot be built on threats
00:15:29of annihilation.
00:15:32The blockage therefore continues on both sides, and Donald Trump even
00:15:36fueled the fire with this map published on his social
00:15:39network, which proposes to rename the Strait of Hormuz "Trump
00:15:43Strait". The memorandum of understanding signed in June between
00:15:47Tehran and Washington provided for an end to the war,
00:15:51reopening this strategic maritime passage, and conducting
00:15:54talks on the ultra-sensitive Iranian nuclear program,
00:15:57but no significant progress has been made since its
00:16:01signing.
00:16:03Climate marches are being organized almost everywhere in France today. A
00:16:07citizen movement that organized itself and gained momentum over the summer when France discovered
00:16:11its limitations in the face of successive heatwave
00:16:14episodes. So the date may seem unfortunate since it
00:16:17coincides with this visit of the Pope and this giant mass in Place de la Concorde. The
00:16:21Parisian gathering will therefore take place right after at
00:16:255 p.m. in Place de la République. We are talking about
00:16:28it with our guest Margot Genjour, you are advocacy officer for
00:16:31climate justice at Amnesty International France, you work
00:16:35on the impacts of the climate crisis on rights. In France and throughout the world, I
00:16:39also appreciate you bringing us your thoughts today. So with
00:16:42this mobilization, the idea with these marches is actually
00:16:45to continue to influence policies during this campaign
00:16:49period.
00:16:51Yes, hello, yes, yes, absolutely. In fact,
00:16:55the marches begin today and we are
00:16:58a few days before the start of the debate on the
00:17:01budget which will therefore have to take into account what
00:17:05happened this summer and include an increase in the
00:17:09budget to be able to face and adapt to climate
00:17:13change and the effects of climate change on our daily lives, which we have all
00:17:16experienced this summer
00:17:20throughout France, but which also had dramatic effects
00:17:24elsewhere in the world. It is also a few months before the presidential
00:17:27election. The heatwave we experienced this summer is not a
00:17:30climatic event that came out of
00:17:33nowhere. It is a political event that reminds us that the
00:17:37effects of climate change and the causes of the current
00:17:40emergency have an impact on our rights, on our daily
00:17:44lives, on our livelihoods in France as elsewhere in the world, and we were
00:17:47really able to feel it in France this summer, yes, all the more so as we saw that the most
00:17:51vulnerable people are obviously the
00:17:54first affected, we will talk about it, but do you think there has been a
00:17:59summer?
00:18:02Well, I think there has been a great awareness on the part
00:18:06of the populations who have been most
00:18:09affected and who have been affected for several years. I think there has
00:18:13been a broader awareness within
00:18:16the political sphere. There have already been
00:18:20two debates with
00:18:23presidential candidates who have included ecological,
00:18:27climatic, and environmental issues, which are traditionally
00:18:30little covered during electoral periods.
00:18:34However, for now, the measures to
00:18:37deal with it are largely insufficient, so we cannot yet truly speak of a political
00:18:41awareness commensurate with the challenges. On the contrary,
00:18:44the budget announces cuts in the
00:18:48ADEME budget and for the green fund which should normally allow
00:18:52municipalities and regions to adapt to the climate
00:18:55crisis. So for now, we can say that we have
00:18:58perhaps a collective awareness, but it is not at all accompanied
00:19:02at the political level by the necessary measures to face
00:19:05the emergency, especially for the most vulnerable populations and those on the front line of the impacts. But
00:19:09indeed, as you mentioned, it is a citizen movement
00:19:13today. We see that climate issues are becoming a
00:19:16concern for the French, particularly during this electoral
00:19:20campaign period for this presidential election. It is true
00:19:22that if the gap is too
00:19:26wide between politicians and this popular awareness,
00:19:30we risk seeing anger erupt because these climatic events have
00:19:34consequences, both damage and consequences also on
00:19:37food and water resources, and the
00:19:41population is very sensitive to this. Yes,
00:19:44absolutely. In fact, this summer, I think it really showed
00:19:48the impact on our daily lives and that it was a
00:19:51national issue. The impacts of climate change
00:19:55are not only on the other side of the world, on the other side of the world, sorry,
00:19:58and this awareness is accompanied by a desire
00:20:02to act on the part of citizens. There was a rally in Bercy
00:20:05in front of the Ministry of Finance about ten days ago. There are
00:20:09now over 260 marches organized
00:20:13throughout France in addition to the rally in Paris,
00:20:17and then there will be a march on October 3rd against pesticides and other
00:20:22the autumn, and I imagine potentially up until
00:20:26the presidential elections. So it's clear that this awareness is accompanied
00:20:29by a strong desire to act, a strong concern, and also
00:20:33anger at the inaction of the government and companies that are
00:20:37responsible. How can we support the most
00:20:41vulnerable populations? It's true that in this appeal, the
00:20:44organizers are demanding an emergency plan, but that is perhaps
00:20:47the weakness of always acting in an
00:20:50emergency. There is a need for support that is much more sustainable and
00:20:54spread out.
00:20:56Yes, absolutely. What we are asking for, and what the appeal is
00:20:59also asking for, are already emergency measures because we need to be
00:21:03ready for next summer in any case, but also longer-term
00:21:07measures. The first measure is to tackle the root causes
00:21:10of the heatwave and fires we experienced this summer,
00:21:14i.e., moving away from fossil fuels and moving away from fossil
00:21:17fuels in a just and equitable manner, by making those responsible
00:21:21for the climate crisis pay, particularly the fossil
00:21:23fuel industry, the ultra-rich and their polluting lifestyles, for example,
00:21:27such as private
00:21:30public money fossil fuels that prevent
00:21:34us from adopting renewable energy. And this transition
00:21:37must adopt protection measures for the most vulnerable populations who
00:21:41have contributed the least to climate change, so social
00:21:44protection measures, because the transition
00:21:48will have an impact on their lives, and therefore
00:21:52this impact should not be unjust and disproportionate
00:21:55to their responsibility and
00:21:58their vulnerability. So, for example,
00:22:01we can think of the Yellow Vest movement in 2018 at the
00:22:05time of the carbon tax, these are unjust
00:22:08measures if they are not accompanied by social
00:22:11compensation for the most affected people.
00:22:15time, as we know, is unfortunately always too long, sometimes not
00:22:19necessarily adapted to reality. Do you think that therefore there is
00:22:23possible action locally from communities?
00:22:26Can everyone act
00:22:29individually? Yes, absolutely.
00:22:33The march, or rather the marches, today are taking
00:22:36place in 260 communes, more than 260 communes,
00:22:40and they connect with local struggles all over the
00:22:42French territory. So there are
00:22:46obviously ways to get involved locally against
00:22:50polluting projects or to get involved
00:22:53also to demand from one's municipality, department, or
00:22:56region adaptation and mitigation measures.
00:23:00And on the other hand, we are
00:23:03also in a context where these
00:23:06movements are increasingly being repressed, and so there will be
00:23:10particular attention to ensure that these are voices that
00:23:14can be heard to be safely repressed
00:23:17uh and and that we recognize... the the legitimacy of their
00:23:21demands which are around the urgency actually
00:23:25of responding to the situation we are in. I thank you
00:23:28very much for answering our questions, we
00:23:31just mentioned it with you, the consequences are not only on
00:23:34human beings but on all of nature by extension
00:23:38our food resources, producers are under pressure, especially for the hazelnut farmers,
00:23:42this is a report in the Gers with Paul George and
00:23:46Emmanuel Fillon. last day of harvest for Thomas.
00:23:50Rayon, he cultivates hazelnuts in the Gers, like
00:23:53many, this farmer observes the damage from the historic
00:23:57drought, this year we're going to produce a ton and a half, normally we should
00:24:00be between 2 and a half tons and 3 tons of hazelnuts per hectare,
00:24:04this year the scarcity of water has impacted the size of the fruit at
00:24:07harvest,
00:24:09we are still paid a lot by size so necessarily when
00:24:13the bigger the size, the better we are paid and this
00:24:16year we know we will sell the hazelnuts cheaper because they are not... not very
00:24:20big, fortunately, he does not depend only on the wholesale market
00:24:24and processes 20% of his production himself, so
00:24:28already being independent allows us to control this cost
00:24:31a little more and then the fact of developing this processing
00:24:34part allows us not to be a contributor
00:24:37to the market price of hazelnuts and to be able to decide our resale
00:24:41prices a little more. the Gers has about ten
00:24:44producers, the sector is subject to fierce foreign
00:24:48competition and wishes to turn to the high-end
00:24:51market, the floods in Bangkok are
00:24:55stabilized, but the situation is extraordinary, a state of
00:24:58disaster has been declared, torrential rains have fallen in the last 24 hours
00:25:02and the canals are overflowing, the east of the city is the most affected, the
00:25:06authorities are at work to pump
00:25:07the water.
00:25:10submerged roads and residents forced to move through more
00:25:14than twenty centimeters of water, while the canals of
00:25:17Bangkok overflow and the water infiltrates into the... life
00:25:22the Thai capital under the torrential
00:25:24rains,
00:25:28I'm in shock, honestly this situation is quite
00:25:30frightening. Saturday evening, the situation was
00:25:34considered stabilized, even if the roads are still flooded,
00:25:38the damage is already considerable, according to the
00:25:41Bangkok authorities, the most affected part is the east of the
00:25:44city, they have opened several temporary shelters in schools
00:25:47and have prepared 1 million sandbags.
00:25:55The warnings were rather limited this time, the only real alert arrived
00:25:59Thursday morning via a notification on our phones.
00:26:03Before that, I was not sufficiently informed to consider taking refuge
00:26:07elsewhere.
00:26:12the East, Bangkok is built on old swamps and is organized around
00:26:16a vast network of canals. The Thai capital regularly experiences
00:26:20seasonal floods, particularly in September during
00:26:23the monsoon season.
00:26:27It's been 10 or 15 years since we've seen such rain and this level of flooding
00:26:30here.
00:26:34In 2011, major floods throughout Thailand had
00:26:37killed more than 500 people and damaged millions of
00:27:08continue to follow of course this preparation of the mass at Place de la
00:27:12Concorde with Pope 14.
00:27:1514.
00:27:21Nabia Macloufi-Brahim takes you on a journey around the world

00:27:56daily lives of those who live in it. Liberty,
00:27:59equality, news.
00:29:00Anyone who illegally crosses
00:29:09"I'm getting ready to enter a country I know nothing about, and that's when
00:29:12they told me they were sending me to
00:29:14Ghana.
00:29:20ICE is very opaque, very
00:29:23opaque on the expulsions of people to third
00:29:25countries."
00:29:34"Okay, what do you want in return? I then put forward other conditions,
00:29:37beyond the lifting of visa
00:29:39restrictions,
00:29:47I feel like they threw us away like hard currency, they could abandon us in a
00:29:51landfill and the whole world would eventually
00:29:53forget us.
00:30:07It's 1:30 PM in Paris, welcome if you're just joining us, we continue
00:30:11to follow of course the visit of Leo 14 to France, the faithful are more and more numerous
00:30:15on the Place de la Concorde and on the Champs-Élysées, the Pope
00:30:18will celebrate an XXL mass starting at 3 PM, we may
00:30:22find Florence Gaillard, the connection is starting to be a little
00:30:26difficult with this place from which hundreds of thousands of people
00:30:29are filming and calling. This morning the Pope had many meetings, he
00:30:33spoke with human catechists after going to a center dedicated to
00:30:37welcoming and integrating exiled people, he called for
00:30:40living together in dignity and
00:30:44peace.
