martin got martin good to see you we've been listening some emotional words from the pontiff and yes of course many victims have been saying that they're looking for more than just words how much do you think the pope's visit to ireland can actually help the vatican turn a corner when it comes to the issue of clerical abuse in and of itself not much i think that part of the problem is that this kind of words are words that we have been hearing for a very very long time not just from this pope but from the previous pope as well this scandal it's now over all about fourteen years old i mean of course it is go much farther back but this sort of essentially started around and to those two and the fact is that unless it is accompanied by a very very very concrete actions which we have not seen from the vatican and we're lumps in back into the situation which we're hearing more words of contrition more questions i would like sinning and so on and so forth i think that people are looking for specifically concrete actions to bring justice for the crimes committed while also calling for concrete action and it was the prime minister of ireland issued a statement let's listen to a clip. holy father we ask that you use your office and influence to ensure that this is done here in ireland and also around the world. in recent weeks we've all listened to the heartbreaking stories from pennsylvania of the unspeakable crimes perpetrated by people within the church and then obscure to protect the institution . it's a story that was all too tragically familiar to those of us here in ireland. as you said there can only be zero tolerance for those who abuse children are facilitate that abuse. and he was now ensure that from words flow actions. all right so a call for action from the prime minister of ireland he also says zero tolerance and yet is it even possible to resolve the abuse scandal without bringing someone else in some other kind of outside authorities and yes if so then which authority like that i mean i don't think it is possible to solve this without outside or thirty's meaning he goes to church it's not in the business of adjudicating crimes the church is in the business of adjudicating sins and the fact is that this is something that extends through so many jurisdictions that in no position i mean is the church you actually sort out these things which the church itself was in the business of committing so the issue here is really a simple one i mean in a sense it's a very complex issue that boils down to a discipline to one issue which is will the vatican turn evidence documents files etc to national authorities for this crimes to be committed we're not only talking about sexual abuse issues we're also talking about a massive cover up and i think that the short answer is in the immediate future i doubt that we will see this because this is a fight that even with the best of will people who are reformists around the pope the ronco princes are themselves fighting their own battle against many fours inside the vatican that want to see essentially no change in this tradition of power and would like the story just to go away obviously the story will not go away all right so you say there's a lack of will perhaps to do anything about this problem so just of what could push church leaders to finally submit those documents and really take this type of concrete action i think that we're seeing very. prosecutors for instance a case of who are now actually trying to force the vatican to turn the seven ins i think that even those inside the vatican that have good will that have the political will do need the help from those outside that can actually push it into the limelight and force the institution to be more transparent. religious affairs correspondent martin god many thanks indeed for your insights. well turning now to venezuela 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 that europe saw in the mediterranean back in twenty fifteen with neighboring states trying to halt the influx across our borders did i feel the harms of rooty 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 gabriella was able to get her family's documentation on time it took her several months to g
