pope francis returns now from the sacrecy.sten to the his words of hope on this easter sunday of resurrection. his message for easter 2020. >> [speaking italian] >> translator: dear brothers and sisters, happy easter. today the church's proclamation echoes throughout the world. jesus christ is risen, he is truly risen. like a new flame this good news springs up in the night. the night of a world already faced with epochal changes and challenges now, now pressed by a pandemic severely testing our whole human family. in this night the church's voice rings out, christ, my hope, he is risen. this is a different contagion, a message transmitted from heart to heart, for every human heart awaits this good news. it is the contagion of hope, christ, my hope is risen. this is no magic formula that makes problems vanish. no, the resurrection of christ is not there. instead it's the victory of love over the root of evil. a victory that doesn't bypass suffering and death, that passes through them, opening a path in the abyss, transforming

francis talking what issues did the pope touch on in his speech. well look francis really focused i guess largely on on the pandemic that the world is facing the age of coronavirus talking initially about those that are suffering the sick as well as those who have lost loved ones and the most fundamental particularly the elderly and those who are lol he also talked about those that may be concerned about the uncertainty that's to come and and worried about their livelihoods how they could make and he's he said now is not the time for indifference towards the poor and he said that you also call percy's fight all conflicts as something that he gen-u. does it all it ought to be in previous eustis but of course it's taking a new slant in this age right now and he also called for a lifting of sanctions on countries that are poor and that need to sit since in order to survive as well as reducing offer giving debts debt relief for poor countries he said the challenge right now is not to be egotistical and he focused also particularly of prayer towards tho

or one explanation as that when you were writing to the pope in this period you had to use the peoplecooler shoes and the people cooler shoes means a kind of fancy way of writing you had to write a we that would keep the pope is listening to umpteen petitions every day he's falling asleep so what do you want to do you want to see things that are going to weaken him up and think a great idea i never had. before least of all from somebody and a remote place like scotland. and how important was that you know the almost the political means of the document saying listen the scots have been here for a long time with one called of the people out a lineage of history is as great of them not of that the english is not very much art of that that the medieval mind it's part of the propaganda and. and you know one can see that at some great idea they live the legend the other religions in scotland whatever score to the daughter of pharaoh and that again suggests that this got to end way back in the picts were supposed to be descended from other ancient peoples probably around it came across there

the pope will return to st. peters to mark the sunday services., this will be a moment of rebirth for christianity and for the world, this easter, this may not be a rebirth. as the good friday service continues. to stay with bbc news. with temperatures close to 25 degrees it is been the warmest day of the year so far but we have not been able to enjoy it as we normally might ona been able to enjoy it as we normally might on a good friday, and i bet if you have a pair of soul in the garden. this is a satellite picture that you can see a lot of this across the uk and towards the northwest, one or two showers just p°pped northwest, one or two showers just normed up northwest, one or two showers just popped up across parts of wales through the afternoon and the continuing making the odd thunderstorm across parts of northern england in southern scotla nd northern england in southern scotland generally for scotland in northern ireland and some outbreaks of patchy rain with clear skies for the south, one or two places places in the south and east of engl

religious affairs correspondent what issues did the pope touch on in his address. dress was remarkably remarkably broad i mean he dealt with anything from going to terrorism enough. weapons commerce you know the gern of iris i mean essentially the over all. these we are actually faced with your equal demand of solidarity and care care for each other and things like embargo which you mention as well against iran then again cuba the u.s. or things that actually stand there regularly against. the church mercy so he called essentially for a stop and it meant to return to you know an interest or any. preview of the curve for the other for each other. not in the church still has a lot of authority and is a big presence in the lives of catholics around the world how has it used its way to help stem the corona virus outbreak. i mean the church from the vatican to different parishes has been you know has been essentially in line with the political demands for the bulk of the moans being made of ending distancing etc so there's a reason why we see easter sunday we see church

and pope francis is leading a lonely easter mass at st. peters basilica right now as the usual crowds are kept away because of the pandemic. the pope will also give the traditional easter blessing a bit later. we are often here on easter mornings talking about the pope's delivery and the throngs of people, but this is an easter in italy like no other. >> reporter: that's right, natalie. i was thinking, normally i'm down at st. peter's square with all of the beautiful flowers and the thousands of people who start to come to italy at this time of year. this is a very different scene. something somber about it which is appropriate. although easter signifies new life, there are many people today that are having their first easter without a loved one in their lives who may have died recently from the virus. plenty of people in hospital as well fighting for their lives. so it's sort of a strange juxtaposition of this celebration of new life at this time. pope francis, of course, has remembered the people in hospital. the people who are working.

and the pope the himself pope francis is nice to his concern for and focus on the poll he's being quite critical of the way in which some countries have treated their poll injuring this crisis how is that been reflected in his response to it. i mean this has been 11 opportunity and perhaps the most important one for the vote to show sort of the core of gender concerning what kind of church he wants to see and he was taking aim particularly we need to let us take an aim at the far right of the knee and the leg and sort of the nationalists who essentially have taken the position that you know the idea of where in 1080 of ministry etc are essentially insufficient i mean the church position is now very much. it could only be necessity if one is going to meet in social necessity or both things that are absolutely imperative. for the state and for people who care we care for communities and that of course extends beyond our nation because whatever happens essentially in the country next door in the country on the other side of the mediterranean will miss or effect in our communities. and i ju

well the pope is obviously not of this so opinion he realizes that. your love for god must also be reflected in your love for neighbor and a love for neighbor in this particular moment in history requires social distancing and so not making it gatherings is very very clear about this and the vatican gave instructions to churches around the world that they should not bring people together at this moment and to have and as the pope is leading by example he has very if there were not 30 people in the church today and they were well spaced out and these were essential people to enable him to have the mass broadcast on the television and worldwide is he now the right pope at the right time given the way that people are suffering around the world given the way that catholics are suffering around the world i think this is a the right pope for this moment he's a pope who's under students who's always been close to people and he is living with the reality of people i mean he's folding people and he's told the vatican we've got thing not just of today and how t
