to john mccain and said he was captured i don't like people who were captured and that was an unforgivable statement and joe and it was i think donald trump the lowest moment in politics in terms of what john mccain achieved as a politician in the senate what you think were the most sort of pivotal political moments for him. while in the senate is certainly was a strong strong supporter of the iraq war which turned off a lot of democrats but he was also a strong supporter of defense of the military which is the background he came from whenever there was a threat or a danger to military spending or to any kind of military preparations john mccain would come to the rescue of his beloved military and of the pentagon that really alienated some democrats who are otherwise sympathetic to him but it made him a hero among defense intellectuals and among americans who supported an aggressive and a leading american role in the world which we seem to have be we could be abandoning

now under the current president often we see politicians who reach the end of the political career perhaps have regrets about some of the decisions or some of the positions they have it took for want to try and rectify that legacy dare i say it's with john mccain this whole issue one word the consciousness of america becomes quite evident in the final years before his death do you think there was all were moments of regret or reflection that perhaps transformative and molded him into the man that we remember in twenty eighteen. well. i know when he first ran for president it was in the year two thousand he lost the nomination to george w. bush he ran as a bipartisan figure he got a lot of support from democrats that year because he had a great campaign theme straight talk it was the perfect theme after eight years of bill clinton wasn't really

a straight talker john mccain promised honesty and straight talk and he got very far on that promise among both republicans and democrats but he made the mistake of insulting conservatives who then ganged up on him and rallied behind george w. bush to defeat him i suppose if there was any low moment in john mccain's career or at least the moment that deserves reflection and some greater explanation it was his selection of sarah palin as his running mate when he ran in two thousand and eight that to many americans remains inexplicable and they don't understand why he did it or what he got him well for by but we will leave it there bill schneider always good to get your thoughts thanks very much for joining us in washington d.c. there's a lot more of the top story in pope francis has vowed to end the sexual abuse of children by the catholic church on the first day of his visit to ireland the pope held a private meeting with eight irish victims who suffered abuse by members of the clergy some of them were forced into adoption as children after being born to single

mothers they said the pope apologized on behalf of the church. the thing that really shocked us all was when he was talking to survivors of. corruption in the south he literally referred to these people as. his translator again was kind of shocked. to clarify literally that somehow just as. they are filled to the top. by pope francis as there's a tile and is the first by a pontiff to the catholic country in almost four decades he's trying to reinvigorate the religion in a nation that's been hit by decades of scandals involving the church we've parker reports from the capital dublin. the pope's visit to ireland at this moment of crisis in the catholic church was always going to set the global agenda on how the vatican tackles its legacy of child sex abuse and pope francis

didn't waste any time. we going to share. i cannot fail to acknowledge the great scandal caused in ireland by the abuse of young people by members of the church charge of the responsibility for that mattel and education the failure of ecclesiastical authorities to adequately address these repugnant crimes has rightly given rise to outrage i myself share the sentiments. prime minister has been at the helm of social reforms in the country including the recent popular vote to legalize abortion long prohibited by the catholic church he said it was time to build a new relationship between church and state people kept in dark corners behind closed doors cries for help that went on heard be and these wounds are still open and there is much to be done to bring about justice and truth and healing for the victims and survivors. holy father we ask that you use your office and influence to

ensure that this is done here in ireland and also around the world. in this saga of widespread abuse of children by members of the catholic church protests were inevitable. these people looking for action not words from the vatican i do get the feeling though the. trust will not be returned within the catholic population from simply want or process say to the common population he needs to make actions you're going to be picking us want those actions are going to be. alone in silent prayer the leader of one point two billion catholics later in the day away from the cameras he met eight i were survivors of religious an institutional abuse for ninety minutes likely the most emotional moment of his thirty six hour visit for all involved pope francis has gone further than any pope in acknowledging the church's wrongs but as new allegations of abuse continue to surface the biggest

challenge to the church in ireland is the church itself. pope francis is an island and arguably one of the darkest moments in the church's modern history become pope francis universally respected as a true reformer reinvigorate face and what the catholic church stands for. thousands of the faithful croke park stadium to hear pope francis speak his visit is a moment of joy for many believe is an island a country where more than seventy percent of the population identify as catholic but as the country embraces secular values irish society regardless of faith wants to hold the church to account for past wrongs need baka al jazeera dublin. timlin is an abuse survivor based in the u.s. state of arizona and runs a network of the victims he says the pope needs to offer victims more than just

words. but we can't come. to church investigating itself we saw that in pennsylvania one diocese we knew of ten predator priests previous to the grand jury after the grand jury find out there are seventy five so we know that the church has been hiding information for years decades. so the pope could do something very very simple and that is demand that every bishop in the world report every instance of child abuse to the police italy for instance or chile a couple examples but imagine in most countries in the world it's up to the bishops whether they report to their police so this is the fox guarding the hands we need to do is have civil investigations not rely on the church because they've shown that they're interested more in their power prestige in the our in the safety of children will still have hailed the al-jazeera news. and entertainment in the
