been following one family as a journey across borders. the one. thanks for joining us i'm mary and i haven't seen pope francis has received a warm welcome from supporters and dublin during the first papal trip to ireland in nearly forty years thousands lined the streets of the irish capital to see the pontiff his visit comes as the church faces renew pressure to tackle sexual abuse within its ranks damning new revelations have raised serious doubts over the leadership of senior cardinals and bishops who are accused of protecting predatory priests francis told an audience of dublin castle that he shares the shame and pain of the church's failure to tackle abuse. well for

a closer look at the to dublin i'm joined in the studio now by a reporter at william. so william there's been quite a great quite a lot of criticism against the pope especially in connection with the issue of clerical abuse what have the pope's critics in ireland been saying now especially online there they're saying no they're saying nope there's actually a hashtag called say nope to the pope which sounds funny but of course is deadly serious that many are using to discuss their outrage at the catholic church and the pope's visit you can see an irish rugby writer he put it very bluntly in this tweet he said i wish every weekend could be ireland winning the grand slam on st patrick's day and twickenham which is a major rugby stadium in england instead this weekend we have to host the leader of the world's largest pedophile ring hash tag say no to the pope definitely not beating around the bush with such a tweet but it must be said of course the pope has been outspoken on this issue he's called. the crimes of his of his own repugnant and the lack of action is

shameful which is not enough for many we have the executive director of amnesty ireland who is organizing a protest on this very issue tomorrow in dublin he's heavily criticized the pope especially with this tweet where he says this seems to me to be a shameful deflection of responsibility on the part of the pope and it insult the faithful catholics who have no reason to feel shame because the crimes of the vatican and the institutional church so people like him want to see concrete consequences both an illegal and a religious sense all right so a lot of focus on the issue of child sex abuse scandal within the church what other issues are people in ireland talking about as the pope visits right though the list is long the the abuse issue is the biggest blight on the pope's visit but also for example women and the analogy between people there were old the catholic church because while the pope is in dublin you have the churches meeting the world meeting of families happening a once every three year convention happening and double at the same time. and

they've actually denied the request of a couple catholic l.g.b. t. groups from participating they've cited space and logistical issues so in response a one rainbow choir used the power of song to protest by gathering outside we can see here outside the convention location singing same song. so speaking of families as many as thirteen hundred families living in emergency shelters in dublin even maybe face the prospect of having to be sent out of dublin while the pope is there which many people see as a grave contradiction of church values and state parties especially when you look at the cost that this is that this is costing up to thirty two million euros it might be for this thirty six hour visit of the pope twenty million of which is going to be covered by the church but the rest most likely the city or the state so add to the usual delays and disruptions that such

a visit causes to any city and is a lot for people in dublin to be unhappy about him to keep in mind is a country that has been rapidly moving away from its conservative catholic underpinnings and just last for years all right so some colorful protest in dublin as well well you know glue crossed over to do a reporter many thanks indeed. well turning now to italy where most of the one hundred fifteen migrants aboard a boat innocent civilian port for more than a week have gone on hunger strike the italian government's refusal to allow them to enter is at the center of a fresh dispute over migration within the european union crisis talks in brussels on friday ended without any progress. people stuck for days under the scorching sicilian sun this is what europe's migration crisis looks like these days many of the one hundred fifty migrants on board the ditch the rescue vessel have gone on hunger strike after waiting patiently for over

a week they're now demanding that italy lets them disembark but under its new hardline government is more determined than ever to get other european union member states to share the burden this time it's using money as leverage threatening to cut its contribution to the e.u. budget. the european union sticks with a south to choose if nothing comes out of the european commission meeting on redistributing migrants miti chiaki ship the five star and i will not be willing to give twenty billion euros each year to the european union. at its crisis meeting in brussels the european commission criticize the my as comments as unconstructive of live in us in europe threats are useless and don't get you anywhere where you are the only way to solve a problem in europe is to work together in a constructive manner and good will. as the latest talks in brussels ended yet

again without resolution europe's divisions over migration are painfully exposed but the chuck d. is not the first rescue vessel to be left in limbo on the mediterranean and it probably won't be the last unless leaders in brussels can find a common way ahead. and joining. in the studio now is to move fisher he's from the n.g.o.s is a boca an organization that campaigns for migrants taking the syria to europe mr fisher thank you for joining us today now your n.-g. o. organized demonstration in munich earlier today just what is your message yes thank you very much mary and well we organized demonstrations not only in munich but by now in over one hundred fifty cities in europe and it's more than one hundred thousand people going on the streets asking one simple question which is that we should not let people die and drown in the mediterranean sea just like we should

not let the european values drawn in the military and yet some critics argue that taking in more refugees is actually not a solution to the problem that those people should actually stay in their home countries and try to rebuild their countries of origin was a response to that well i can understand when people sink in those very simple terms i have to say on the other hand it's quite ridiculous because people should not put the weight off such international conflicts on individual human being lives but it is the political question so first of all we should not forget that everyone has a right for physical and psychological integrity and that people who are fleeing do not flee because they want to but because i have to and i can assure you that people if they would be allowed to not be just in a traumatized situation and then go over this hard route of the between c.

and then arrive here and and not being allowed to work we would have less weight less problems so this is specially after hundreds of years of calling invasion of the year of europe european states we should now be responsible and take people in because we have the space and we have the capacity to secure a well we also have legal channels for migration and we have the. they are also illegal ways of attempting to come to europe and some may argue that your going to zation perhaps is supporting you legal migration does rescuing migrants who are coming to europe via the mediterranean in fact encourage more people to make this dangerous journey and attend to these illegal channels of migration well i would say that people like the reasons they will for all the agency from texas is doing great as is evolving the business opportunities for illegal channels because now it's really getting super expensive and super nice for people who are organizing

illegal migration because not a lot anymore so first of all we have to look at what is legitimate migration what is migration where people should be able to flee because they have to and we should not start to look at human behavior as human beings right i feel we kind of lost our our core values in europe look at it when you look at the report the frontex they talk about risks not risk for the humans but risks because human beings are coming so i think we've completely lost the ability to sing about the out what we should not like copy australia or the us just because a small part of right radicals are pushing governments to become so if the european union fails to assist the refugees what needs to be done in your opinion well if first for i think if european union fails then it fails as a whole then we are what we are looking at right now is europe drowning in the military duty so if you ask me what we should do is actually fight for freedom of

movement so people should be able to go back and forth to work in europe when they arrive directed to have access to health to to to education and to jobs because then the remittances going back to the home countries are being you know much more efficient then giving money to the. taters like in libya where europe right now is paying. paramilitaries who are human traffickers and this is something we should not allow anymore all right fisher from the. many thanks indeed for sharing your insights with i think you marianna for being here turning to venezuela now where an estimated two million people have left the country in recent years fleeing food shortages poverty and economic chaos u.n. officials are now saying the region is heading towards what they describe as a crisis moment similar to the one europe saw in the mediterranean back in twenty fifteen ophelia has been following the journey of venezuelan migrants in colombia

here's her report. they've got so much luggage they need help carrying it down hill. these two families have come together travelling from caracas all the way through colombia to the ecuadorian border. the crossing point here isn't as full as it had been during previous weeks as ecuadorian authorities were only letting those in who had a valid passport. fortunately gabrielle was able to get her family's documentation on time it took her several months to gather the money to leave her home country. we were thinking about going to peru for about three months because the situation has been really tough no matter how much you make if you're a professional or not even if you earn

a decent wage you can't live on that anymore. not there. at the bus station in the ecuadorian city of tool like hundreds of other venezuelans they hope to be able to board a bus that gets them all the way down to peru. joe's wife is awaiting them in the peruvian capital lima the father of three hasn't seen his wife in seven months. she went on ahead. she's landed on her feet over there in peru and she told us to come over since the situation in venezuela is getting worse every day. it's hard to face and. finally the bus arrives everyone is tired they haven't slept in a bed for days and tonight won't be any different an eighteen hour drive away to them until they reach the border between ecuador and pen to even if the journey is

hard they know they are very lucky to be sitting comfortably. thousands of venezuelans have cost these borders by foot especially those who don't have any documentation it's believed that about two and a half million people live left the country. for little aaron another part of the journey is coming to an end the three year old is not quite once and seems to be in a good mood all the time a blessing for his parents. because they always behave well. ten year old gloria is finding it harder to keep up she knows she might never see her friends again. who are you going to miss the most. everyone. not having seen her mother for over a half a year is tough but together with friends and family she is holding on gabrielle is

taking care of her as if she were her own daughter. you're watching t w news thanks for joining us. lehman brothers ten years on a story of ambition greed and megalomania.
