and had to do with the church community and the fact that many seniors who attend church drive their cars mostly on sunday. it's kind of a tradition in my community, not necessarily driving, but church services. there is double-parking and meters and all of these things. i think the challenge for me was just how information was communicated to those churches. and those people who participate in church. i think that -- and the other thing i felt that we are nickel diming people, that the mayor used in his speech, that i said first. i felt that way, we charge for everything and can we have one day where the city is not nickel and diming people. sunday meters was implemented. i wasn't a fan, i got two tickets. eventually what i did appreciate about it, i start to get used to it as a driver. and the meters have changed and made it easier to pay by phone and technology and a couple other things. but unfortunately this has not made it easy on seniors. and yes, there are low-income seniors who do have cars. the challenge for me is really the fact that, you know, even though we have sunday m

most are members of the greek orthodox church. 12,000 christians reside in the church. jordan is home to 174,000 christians, only 2% of the population, or half are eastern orthodox while roman catholics make up 45%. pope francis will visit an area that has seen a decline in christianity. muslims make up about two-thirds of the population. what challenges will the pope faes. >> well, the pope is going there for a number of reasons. one is what you are talking about. he wants to bring hope and encouragement to the christians in the middle east, who are being caught in the middle of all the extremism that is going on there. and suffering from violence and other problems. and so he - you know, this is where christianity started. some of these people have families that trace their christian roots back to the apostles, and he wants to be there with them, praying with them, encouraging them in the hard times that they are experiencing. >> and, father, he'll meet with israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu. it will be a private meeting. what do you think will be discussed? w

many ran to churches and the u.n. base. hundreds sheltered here in the hospital, thinking they were safe, they wouldn't be targeted. u.n. investigators say rebels attacked and looted everything of value. almost everything in the ward is destroyed. survivors say pane were beaten, killed, and some patients who were bedridden were shot dead. >> it's one of many instances where civilians were targeted across the country. the u.n. says both sides may be sfoeble for crimes against humanity. secretary bangui moonsays there needs to be justice. the u.s. called for justice. it's been a key political and financial supporter of south sudan. nobody has ever faced justice for the many atrocities committed in conflicts, going back for decades. >> one of the reasons possibly that there has been crimes committed is no one has been held accountable. for going forward in south sudan, as you said, with the level of atrocities, now is the time for justice to prevail. >> meanwhile, nearly a million people who fled the violence are stuck in the

what should the church's role be in that context. >> i think the church does a lot of good work helping the refugees on the border with syria and jordan. that said, the catholic church, the vatican, the politics of the church have been somewhat slow to react to the politics of syria and apply pressure, there has been criticism for the church on that. i think it has to be put in context that all governments are struggling to find some way to assert pressure on bashar al-assad to end the kill, and end the war. that said, i think it's fair to put pressure on the church. i think it could do more. >> there's a lot of controversy, especially when it comes to the visit to the west bank. how important will this be to the palestinians. >> every time the head of state, and a pope is the head of state. every time someone of statute goes into the west bank and through the checkpoint, and has to deal with the barbed wire and the walls erected between jerusalem and bethlehem. to journey through that, and be there witnessing that and present with the people in the square, where christianity is born in
