a first today for pope francis. the 77-year-old pontiff is in seoul, south korea, where he made his first speech in english since he became the head of the catholic church in march of last year. the pope spoke in english talking about peace and reconciliation, as well as the need to educate the young. the pope made a big impression shortly after arriving in seoul when he slipped into a compact kia hatchback as he left the airport. pope francis requested the smaller car instead of using the larger, more secure pope mobiles used by all his predecessors. pope francis will spend five days in south korea, the first visit by a pope to that country in 25 years. a major milestone today in the recovery of paralyzed olympic swimmer amy van dyke. she left the hospital today after two months of rehabilitation. she says she's become a wheelie queen if her specially designed wheelchair.
