cali has been dismantled has the situation improved since then. well the government says it has improved when you look at the figures yes at the time about you know half ago there were up to eight thousand migrants so to say living in that makeshift chatted makeshift camp hoping to get through to the u.k. now you've got between three hundred fifty and six hundred migrants however asea sions are saying these migrants will keep coming to color so we will need to keep providing what they need to live in a dignified way and the yet as asians are saying that the government is doing everything to prevent that really they are accusing the government of taking away tents and sleeping bags to make it impossible for migrants to set up a new night shift camp so as well as processing the asylum applications more efficiently france is the one also working on tightening immigration law what changes are being proposed well the government is working on that law the moment

priests in chile and he scandals greatly damaged the catholic church as image of the country several churches were firebombed in the days leading up to the visit. move it from religious affairs correspondent to martin a gasket welcome and thank you this trip is being viewed as particularly important why well it's one more attempt by the vatican in the in the future of this pope to repair some of the relations and some of the damage done to its public image in latin america so in a way this spoke is the first one to be said to live since john paul the second visited for it in one hundred eighty seven essentially offering what were seen then correctly in my in my in my assumption as support for the region even given the knowledge of the mound or for some knowledge of the amount of human rights violations so the vatican was seen by the latin american left by

a large and she listened particular as a very close ally of very unsavory political figures i think that deceased the one first trip into one of these areas which actually tries to mend that so so that is the the background to the church is the catholic church is status within chile and a poem that is this is that is the problem of sexual abuse and a bishop who was appointed by the pope who may have shielded an abuser absolutely so on top of this which is sort of a story called the start of the story grievances in relation to the vatican and now we have also over the last ten years or so in latin america an increasing opening on the questions of sexual. abuse these both in particular has offered support to a bishop that was actually the assistant to who is the most infamous priest probably in the history mother newser of in terms of sexual abuse he was accused and it is said by some of his some of his victims or presumed victims that this

bishop but also had actually protected. this is not quite clear this is not gone through cord so the question really remains sort of open nonetheless it clearly was a bit of a political misstep on the part of this pope. essentially but dressing somebody who came with this kind of credentials so pope francis in his speech expressed what he called his pain and he shaved over child sexual abuse scandals at how far is that going to go to address of the grievances of people have with the church itself not very far i mean this is sort of a gesture and i think that their gestures of this pope that quite clearly have a lot of political impact their gestures of this pope that very often fall into the category of just being jesters they think that this in a sense if it's not accompanied by a serious attempt an overt attempt that can be seen by the population and reburying some of them it's done by all of the stories of sexual abuse including bringing these cases to justice sensually be taking us just one more of the nice words that

sometimes it's vatican offers nonetheless it is worthwhile saying that they are opening in that they ration these at least heartening. thank you a pleasure. in the opening round of this year's a first tennis grand slam the australian open novak djokovic just progressed to the next stage but actually may fundraiser had lines before his much on tuesday by holding a meeting with his fellow professionals they were discussing forming a player's union and the need for more prize money meanwhile world number two roger federer moved into the second round by beating today in straight sets in the women's singles maria sharapova beat german a touch on america two years after failing a drug test at the grand slam in melbourne. i set you up today to have both of you at the top of the hour leave you now with music from irish rock group group the crown prince but sing at the loans or be it an has died aged forty six this is one of the band's biggest hits from nine hundred ninety three.
