will draw attention to people in the peripheries of society. the pope also hopes that his trip will help improve its relations with china and talk about all of this with paul collins was a former priest and a historian of the catholic church. he joins us live from australia as capital camera pool. just so, you know, we are showing the pictures will be showing pictures of the, the live shot of the pope because his plane just touched down in woodland, but tara, in mongolia. so with all that said, why is he going to, mongolia a but i think you summarize to 0 in your introduction. i hope francis is very much a man who is concerned about the periphery use of the church. and he is not so concerned about well established catholic areas. so like, for instance, a milan and easily old business initially, or a big hispanic catholic population in los angeles,

in the united states. he's concerned about the people who lean on the edges if you like to get an example of that and use the v is my tom ultimate because those who will elect the next. he's my capital for instance in tom a, a the small republic of toma, in the pacific ocean, into more or less stable one of the newest countries in the world. whereas for instance, milan opened us or los angeles, do not have causal attributions. so he really is trying to give voice to people on the periphery. he also has a great interest in asia. he's really concerned why catholics a very much in a minority of questions, a very much in a minority issue with the exception of the philippines. and he's very much concerned with guy also have a voice. you also attached on the did you introduction when you said he's concerned about both of china and russia?

mongolia sits geographically right between china and russia. he's concerned in china about the appointment, the bishop 17 being a relationship going with the communist government to china, whereby bishops are appointed to diocese in the full chinese catholics. this estimates as high as a 100000000 christians in china. most of us, of course, would be proudest in christians, but there is a sizable catholic minority there as well. so he's concerned about that with the child and in russia is concerned about keeping relationships going with the russian orthodox church. the orthodox church has been very supportive of all the russian government and the war and ukraine. i bought a b still wants to keep the doors open with the russian orthodox. i think those 2 things, minorities, and the russian orthodox and, and china,

people tool to and why he's going to mongolia. paul were just looking at life pictures i was, i was scrutinizing these light fixtures that were getting from the airport at lamba tour. and we are just seeing the pope being um, let me see, we're just gonna take a quick look and see what happens here. uh. these are the 1st few more moments of the pontiff. people visit to mongolia has just arrived in woodland, the tor, where he is being greeted by authorities quite the welcome party. therefore, the pope paul, if i can continue as we watch these live pictures, if i can draw you back to that point about china, how does helping mongolia, i beg your pardon, how does visiting mongolia help him with his relationship? why should say the roman catholic church is relationship with china?

well, that's a good question. i mean, geographically, as i say, it, montgomery who sits between china and russia, much of a mongolia is trade is with those 2 nations. so and of course, mongolia only became independent in the 19 ninety's. so i mean, he can go to china because he can go to mongolia. i mean, it's a, i think, a symbol all is interesting. i'm sure it's a symbol that i use. it is important for them to, to generally, china is important. and in some ways, i may not be the 1st to admit to you when i 1st heard about it. i thought this is a rather eccentric thing to do. yeah. because as you said, there's only 1600 catholics in mongolia about the the simple reality is that use that kind of,

if you like as really continuing some type of relationship with the chinese government funding. i think that's essentially what it's about. i think also another thing that's important to you is the ongoing is largely orders to country. and again, john francis has been a person who has been very much reaching out to the all the great fights of the world. and so i was interested to see that what is a mongolia is, is quite a bit some units inclination well that a part of the process has not yet met the deadline lama again, perhaps because of sensitivities to china. right. that would not help likely his, his relationship with china are in call. listen turkey so much we're, we're lucky. you were looking at the life pictures the pope. we're currently in the 1st few minutes of his trip to mongo here. thank you very much for all your

insights and explanations. thank you. 0 and i still ahead on alpha 0, mexico's on position coalition decides who will be. it's candidates in next year's presidential election. the . so there are 3 tropical storms in play at the end of the western pacific towards the south coast of china. the 1st one to be noticed across hong kong, taken precautions is charlotte, which will go through the curtains more or less a category to hurricane fairly quickly given huge amounts of rain, but fairly strong winds as well. i have to say and then maybe touch the south coast of mainland china beyond that. and then you have to look at the high k, which is on its way to watts food. yeah. and providence, but it will graze the top of taiwan quite false. we certainly bring

a spite, biggs, tearfully telling the course that he was sorry for his actions on january 6th, claiming that he wasn't a riot leader, had been quote, seduced by the rhetoric that the election had been stolen from trump. now rail also broke down saying that he was done peddling the lives of other people who don't care about him, still more sentencing and probably defend his art to come with proud boys, former president and ricky tauriel do in court next week. and of course, donald trump also faces prosecution for his efforts to stay in power. now the defense attorney for the proud boy's question in court. why it was that the former president wasn't also charged with the dishes conspiracy liked his clients? no public evidence has suggested from the rest of the actions of his extreme, his supporters on january 6th. so he did use twitter to praise and think them as a violent unfolded force. donald trump and all of this, he stood on the ellipse, basically told people 74000000 of his followers,
