hallie jackson live for us in rome. let me bring in anne thompson for her final thoughts on this as we end our coverage with about a minute and a half to go. i wanted you to contrast for us the two different psonalities here. you could say these two world leaders, donald trump and the pope both populists in their own right. both coming through an age where they have a tremendous amount of public appeal. obviously president trump here in the united states, the pope more globally. how do you think that contrast, their messaging played out in this first meeting between two? >> well, ayman, i would first focus on what they have in common. if you think about it, these two leaders are both outsiders. they were elected because they were outsiders. pope francis was the cardinal of buenos aires. as he said on the night he was elected, it looked like they had to go to the ends of the earth to find the next pope. donald trump obviously not a politician. elected to the highest office in the united states. though come as disruptors,

>> sandra: they tie his arrival to rome to terror. that's how the president stood on his first foreign trip with taking a very firm stance on terror. then this event has happened last night at the ariana grande concert. what do you expect to hear from the president in the wake of this? we've heard from him, but does this change things for him? >> andrew: it adds to the challenges that he confronts. the first two-thirds of this trip has had it raves and reviews on this side of the atlantic. he's been extremely presidential. this is almost like the speech he gave to congress a few months ago. you can be presidential when he wants. he's been nearly brilliant and riyadh and jerusalem. he now has the additional pressure of being a brilliant on the third leg, confronted by this tragedy and about to confront a pope with whom he has had a publicly chilly relations. >> harris: they can come together on the message. >> lisa: you mention, what do we know about this terrorist? it's increasingly difficult for law enforcement and intelligence commu

martin coverage now, amy kellogg live in rome, vatican behind he her. hi, amy. >> no doubt the attack in manchester will be one of the issues that the pope and president discuss tomorrow, but you know, there has been a lot of curiosity about how this meeting will ultimately go because the pope and president are at -- different on so many issues. they come from different perspectives. for example, recently when president trump was extolling the power in position of those u.s. air strikes in syria, the pope made his distressed distrn that this was called the mother of all bombs, actually that was afghanistan by basically saying that a mother brings life and bombs bring death. the pope is very much generally against weapon proliferation altogether, and the arms trade, and president trump is coming here after a major, major signing of a deal with the saudis for weapons. climate change, globalization, capitalism, they come at these topics from very different places. the pontiff has lashed out against those who build walls, not bridges, calling them unchristi

you are a catholic church out of the church of rome. you practice the byzantine rights from latin rights, you do services in english. >> we moved from slavonic to english about 23 years ago. >> if i wanted to fulfill my sunday obligation, receive the sacraments, confession, eucharist at your church, that is perfectly all right. >> like in any other catholic church, the liturgy will be quite different. we are a parish of the archdiocese because the number of russian byzantine catholic churches throughout the world is so small that they have been entrusted to the care of the local latin ordinary, which of course and our case is the archbishop of san francisco. and he has appointed me to be pastor of his parish. i'm the first diocesan priest to hold that title. most of the pastors were jesuits in the past. we are fully catholic. and so to receive the eucharist and the sacrament of confession, you are receiving it from a catholic priest and your stubbly -- sunday obligation is fulfilled if you would like to attend. in fact, it is encouraged

there was no rome stop initially on the president's schedule.he vatican get onto the itinery and how did it end up that donald trump was meeting with pope francis at 8:30 on a wednesday morning. >> if you are asking me, because of the schedule. this is a packed trip for president trump. saudi arabia, italy, brussels, back to italy, sicily for the g-7 meeting. also what the white house had in mind was to touch base with the three major religions, it became clear that would have to be one of the parts of this nine-day trip. but, of course, the timing is a little unusual because normally the pope doesn't meet with heads of state at 8:30 in the morning. normally it's later in the day, but today he's busy with his normal general audience. that begins in his normal 1:25. there is a time limit for how long the meeting can be. they allowed them to fit it in and they can say we are focusing on the three religions that began in the middle east and now are touching base with the catholic church. >> they did just see images of the first daughter and her hus

there he is at the airport heading to rome. he's already made comments about the attack in manchester. >> this is one of those moments, stephanie, when outside events can cast a very large shadow on a trip of this magnitude for president trump. and especially when you're talking about trying to bring about peace in a region that has seen so much conflict. the events in man chest, the tragedy, were the first comments the president made today when standing side by side with mahmoudas. he talked about the need to protect young innocen and that the -- the world tolerating such violence cannot go on. he also in very much his typical trump voice, said, he did not want to call the perpetrators monsters because they would enjoy that, and instead he said from now on he would call them losers. this is some of what president trump had to say in reaction to the tragedy in manchester. >> we must drive out the terrorists and the extremists from our midst. obliterate this evil ideology and protect and defend our citizens and people of the wor

let's bring in claudia from rome. meeting with the pope earlier, give a sense how that played out in what i am sure was a well choreographed meeting. >> reporter: it definitely was. what was amazing to see, how president trump and the pope bridged differences. they started on the wrong foot last year with the pope saying whoever builds walls and not bridges is not christian, and president trump back then count erred it, replying it is disgraceful with the pope. they met at the vatican all smiles, and made a joke when he met with melania. he asked melania what do you feed this guy, pizza? apparently we are told is slovenian dessert. bold move. i am sure there were no diplomatic incidents, they were all smiles. in all seriousness, then met privately for 28 minutes. we still don't know what was discussed, haven't been told by the vatican yet. surely they must have touched on some of the differences that they had on subjects like climate change, refugees and migrants. >> despite not having officially met before today, the

they've had a very evanful day with their time in rome and at the vatican with the pope. here they'll meet with the king and queen of belgium and they'll meet with the prime minister of belgium. it will be the official welcome of the host country and then nato with the 28 member nations. this issen a opportunity for donald trump to mend some fences after calling this organization obsolete and then retracting that after he had a chance to meet with the secretary general and to have a bit of time in office to get a different view of how nato is a force in the world. it is expected that some of the conversation here which had originally been about things like russia and ukraine as the anticipated heavy story lines, now with the tragic events in manchester, there's an expectation that confronting terrorism and isis and al qaeda and the lone wolves that are especially showing their power in europe in particular, that that will be a big part of the conversation. for president trump the issue of terrorism has been a thread throughout his journeys for the last several days, wanti
