before the pope goes back so we're at a bit of a standoff at this moment clearly chile is going to be a very challenging stop for the pope probably the most challenging trip in fact of all those that he has ever made to a catholic country because to he was considered one of the most faithful catholic nations in the whole world and right now less than fifty percent of people say that they trust or even belong any longer to the catholic church. to think he's likely to address directly some of the complaints about. abuse in the catholic church while he's there. well actually we are hearing that he very well may that he may say something in his mass which is the very first mass he will be holding here on tuesday in some type of largest park it is hoped that he will say something. but the people who are here complaining are and asking him to do more than just ask for forgiveness or to apologize for what's happening they want him to take action they want him to put kind of priests in prison and also to throw out those who cover up

1:23 am
demonstrations those strong demonstrations against the government and this also raises the question about what happens with the opposition right now the demonstrations in venezuela are over there's no demonstrations on the streets the states that demonstrate the opposition is divided many have left the country and what we have seen so far is that the government has consolidated power in the last months through elections but also through dubious maneuverings that many would say are undemocratic the situation right now is that members of the opposition like we all want to basically asking for the military to raise to speak up against the current administration but this point is this and likely that any type of court could happen because of this strong guy legions that exists between the venezuelan military and the administration there's a book thank you very much. videos emerged of the moment a mezzanine floor overlooking indonesia's stock exchange collapsed seventy seven
