that in a country that has refused to take in refugees for security regions. we go to kraków now. a clear message from the pope. islamist murderers should not stop western countries from welcoming refugees. reporter: absolutely. the pope did not mince his words because he knows his opinion is controversial in poland, where 40% go to church regularly but where a large majority of public opinion does not follow the pope's extraditions to welcome refugees and immigrants. , a lot of government ministers in the polish government, use the language of fear and make a connection living in thests country and terrorist attacks happening in the country. that is quite widely -- that view is quite widely shared in poland.

the idea of taking in refugees and migrants, and clearly, pope francis is not going to stand for that. he believes that christians must show openness and help people who are fleeing war and hunger and overcome their fears. he said that in an address which is very much intended for the , just aftere meetings with the polish president and prime minister and bishops. laura: what about the young people at this festival? how are they dealing with the murder of father hamel yesterday? do they see as an attack on their faith, their church? gulliver: one man i spoke to his feeling very angry, a french man had he said he feels it is an attack on france he is trying not to think about it. a friend of his quickly stepped in and said "we must be forgiving, and that's the christian way."what you have to

remember is that the young people here are very, very young, they are teenagers. they come here for one of the inventors of their lives. they are having an extremely rich experience where they are meeting lots of people and they come here to have fun as much as anything else. they have a certain spirit of defiance. they should stick to the plan they originally had. and not allow this tragic event to sort of cow them. that was the spirit on the stage where a religious rock band played and actually today it was programmed from some time ago. playingre french bands and a majority of french people who were dancing and some of them were singing the national spirit thatng a they want to get on with what they came here to do. laura: thank you very much indeed. it is day three of the

democratic party convention in philadelphia. hillary clinton has made history as the first woman to win the nomination of a major party bid for the presidency. first lady michelle obama and former u.s. president bill clinton have made their speeches. next up, president barack obama, who takes the podium tonight. douglas herbert tells us how it is the shoe on the other foot from one clinton endorsed obama in 2008. >> it is interesting because barack obama, yes, he has become an enthusiastic supporter of hillary clinton. it was not always like that. as a former white house communications director put it, and various points in barack obama's past 8-12 years come he has run against her, he has defeated her, he has disagreed with her and been against her, then worked alongside her. today he is coming here tonight as her supporter in chief and will try to make the case as to why hillary clinton at all costs

must become the next president. there is a little bit of self interest here, let's be honest, because barack obama very much knows that when presidents are elected, especially if they are of another party, they look to undo the legacy of the president who came before them. come here withto an eye on shoring up his own legacy and he knows very well that hillary clinton is the only candidate in this contest who has any hope keeping his accomplishments in place, especially on issues such as immigration reform, such as health care, such as education, such as climate change, and all of those notable issues. donald trump would not only undo but would radically and in a very draconian white reverse american policy and barack obama's policies on these issues. veryn accept -- expect a vehement and heartfelt defense tonight in support of hillary clinton from a barack obama

looking towards his own legacy. laura: let's talk more about hillary clinton running the about miller- clinton and her chances of winning the white house. by her critics, hillary clinton is seen as corrupt, italy, and dishonest-- elite, and dishonest. how can she overcome that reputation? >> a lot of her critics are major supporters of president obama. president obama this year has a 56% approval rating, which is extraordinarily high for president. his plan, as was mentioned by douglas, is to be the surrogate in chief that she needs to vouch for her and be a character witness for her work in the obama administration is a part owner of all those accomplishments he has accomplished over the past eight years. laura: aside from president obama, who do you think will do the most to boost clinton's chances of winning the white house?

will it be her husband, bill clinton, or first lady michelle obama? tyson: her message, her theme, is stronger together, and one of the advantages she has over her opponent is she has a long bench of what they call uber-circuit. -schelle obama -- uber urrogates. biden, timama, joe kaine, and now bernie sanders. michael bloomberg, goolsbee will speak tonight, an independent. in several from the national security establishment. she has surrogates who will be vouching for the next coming days. laura: and another rival in donald trump, someone who does not care if he is called outlying or saying outrageous things. how do you fight an electoral campaign against someone like that who will say anything and isdoesn't matter if he

picked up on it later down the line? tyson: it is difficult. the united states is in many ways in a post-fact electoral environment. emotion is driving people's electoral decisions. it is very similar to what is happening in europe. makeshe is trying to do is the head argument and the heart argument. tonight a big part of the head argument is going to be the accomplishments of the obama administration -- climate change, health care, the auto bailout. thathe emotional resonance all the democratic luminaries have with the market people and -- american people and the democratic party. laura: thanks very much indeed. william hilderbrandt is with us now. tell us about air france, and your line under pressure.

compromise on labor court rules, pay my promotions. ministers want to extend the current record for 17 months while unions want an extension of five years. the company ceo slammed the terms and timing of the latest right. -- latest strike. >> i felt very sad when i heard about this strike. it is unfortunate. our clients have been taken hostage at a time of year that is very important to them. the height of the family holiday period. julia: france is the most visited country in the world. the brexit as well as recent terror attacks in france could affect demand for travel and have a significant impact on the company earnings this year. the number of french and foreign arrivals in paris last year fell by 0.5 and 1.6% respectively. the airline group reported a 5% fall in revenue to 6.20 2 billion euros compared with the same time last year.
