pope francis has addressed huge crowds in dublin's croke park, ending the first day of his visit to ireland. earlier, he met survivors of clerical abuse by the roman catholic church. the pontiff said he shares the pain and shame of the catholic community, at what he called the grave scandal of abuse in ireland. the bbc‘s religious affairs correspondent martin bashir reports, cheering. tonight's concert at croke park stadium concluded a hectic day of meetings and speeches for pope francis. it all began at 8:30 this morning, when he boarded the papal plane and made his customary visit to the cargo of correspondence and camera crews on board, including the bbc. martin bashir, the bbc. unlike the last papal visit, when pope john paul kissed the runway,

francis deployed a smile and a wave. his first visit was to the residence of president michael d higgins. he moved on to a meeting of civil leaders and the diplomatic corps, and it was here, at dublin castle, that the taoiseach, leo varadkar, raised the issue of child sexual abuse, which has threatened to dominate the visit. these wounds are still open, and there is much to be done to bring aboutjustice 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. pope francis responded with words of repentance and regret, but without offering any specific remedies. translation: the failure of the ecclesiastical authorities,

bishops, religious superiors, priests and others, adequately to address these repugnant crimes, has rightly given rise to outrage and remains a source of pain and shame for the catholic community. margaret mcguckin was abused in a catholic run children's home and was disappointed by pope francis‘s speech. these words don't wash with us any more. we've heard all these patronising words for a lifetime. you know, so disappointed, and i can imagine what our people are like all over ireland. at st mary's pro—cathedral, pope francis prayed before a candle, honouring victims of abuse. and then met privately with eight survivors for 90 minutes. one of those in attendance was patrick mccafferty. i got the strong impression that no one will be exempt from just penalties, who have offended, who have covered up, because those who covered up, he was told very clearly, the damage of those who cover up,

of who cover these things up, is as bad, in some ways, it could even be said to be worse, than the offence, the offender. but on the streets of dublin, there was plenty of enthusiasm for the pope, despite decades of scandal. although this visit will lastjust 36 hours, it comes at a crucial moment in the fractured relationship between ireland and the church. back at tonight's world meeting of families event in croke park, a reminder, if needed, that the future of the church in ireland will depend on its ability to treasure the youngest of its members. and our religion editor martin bashir gave us this

assement of how the days events have been received, and the challenges the pope faces in tackling the scandals which have hit the church. princess arrived in ireland at the blizzard of child abuse allegations. we had that none 100 page report out of the state of pennsylvania which detailed incredible allegations against 300 members of the clergy. in may, all of the bishops in chile offered their resignations of. and we had the two reports into the schools in england. when pope francis was elected in 2013, he made dyla n francis was elected in 2013, he made dylan with child sexual abuse one of his priorities. five years on, and the scandals keep coming. and so will while he retains an level of popularity as an individual, many survivors say that unless he

introduces an aggressive zero tolerance policy and new mechanisms for accountability and transparency, then the church here in ireland and probably elsewhere will continue to be diminished. let's get some of the day's other news. all coastal weather warnings for hawaii have been lifted after tropical storm lane weakened and drifted away from land on saturday. despite this the national weather service have warned of heavy rainfall which could trigger additional flooding and mudslides. the russian opposition leader alexei navalny has been ——a zero point six earthquake has hit iran and was also felt in baghdad. have been no immediate reports of casualties of. last year, a larger earthquake in the same region killed over 500 people. relatives of the late francisco franco, said they will use all legal means to stop the government from

but already those walking it are exhausted. anna julia is headed to peru with herfamily. eight months pregnant, it is a track of more than 2000 kilometres. for little emmanuel, it is an impossible ask. they are travelling with other migrants. safety in numbers and helping each other out along the way. translation: the truth is, it was harder in venezuela than having to walk in my condition. my son was ill and the hospital wouldn't see him. that gave me the strength to walk. but even if they make it to peru, they may not be allowed in. from today, peru requires passports from venezuelans crossing the border. anna julia's passport was stolen but she tells me the group will cross any way they can. up the road, venezuelans keen to beat the bitter cold in the mountains clamber

into a cargo lorry. they are paying £2 each to catch an illegal ride. there are about a0 or 50 venezuelans piled into that truck. after five or six days on the road walking to the border, they are desperate for a lift. but not everybody can go. these people are waiting for the next truck. 2000 kilometres south, the race was on for those who had already travelled down through colombia and ecuador to get to peru before the new passport restrictions came into force. ecuador‘s government even bussed venezuelans to the border ahead of the midnight deadline. as the clock ticked, the queues grew. only those with a pink ticket were told they would be allowed through. a seemingly insignificant piece of paper but the ticket to a brighter future. one that from today will be much harder for venezuelans coming through without a passport. this woman tells me she had to hitch lifts and sell her possessions to get her and baby

helen to this border. peru, she thinks, is the best chance she has of finding a job. but worries that with more migrants coming through, the patience of neighbouring countries is wearing thin. these people are nearly at the end of their gruelling journey. exhausted, yes, but also relieved. they are finally out of venezuela. thousands more will follow in their footsteps as this migrant crisis continues to get worse. katy watson, bbc news, on the ecuador—peru border. swedish police say a demonstration by neo—nazi activists has passed off peacefully. around 300 members of the far—right party the nordic resistance movement, or nrm, gathered in the capital stockholm on saturday. the nrm plans to field candidates in sweden's national elections next month for the first time, as andrew plant reports. the centre of stockholm on a

at this 5—star red sea resort. john and susan cooper, both in their 60s, were found ill on tuesday at the aqua magic hotel in the hurghad area of egypt. inspectors found no evidence of toxic gas leaks in their hotel room and the local hospital manager said fumes were unlikely to have caused their deaths. translation: i don't think it was gas poisoning because if a group of people were subject to gas leaks, they would all suffer at the same time from the same symptoms, like suffocation. with the case of this couple, i got the first one at around 11am and the second at 5pm. so i don't think this was the cause. nearly half of thomas cook's 300 customers at the hotel chose to fly home. when you find out at 10:30pm at night that two people have died two days ago and nobody knows why, and they came down ill quite suddenly, haven't had a chance to get a doctor first,

deputy prime minister luigi di maio, said nobody would be allowed to come ashore until other european states promised to take them in. he threatened withholding billions of dollars worth of eu contributions until they do. at an emergency meeting in brussels, the european union responded to those demands. translation: in europe, threats are useless and don't get you anywhere. the only way to solve a problem in europe is to work together in a constructive manner and in goodwill. this is what the commission has been trying to facilitate for a long time. for those on board, this isjust the latest hurdle in a perilous journey from north africa. almost all come from eritrea, a country with one of the world's worst human rights records. when they first arrived, many told authorities they had suffered months of mistreatment and detention in libya. women, children and those suffering
