Retrial in japan over multiple murders committed nearly 50 years ago. Youre watching france 24. Lets start in rome where barack obama is due to make pope francis. He just arrived there not long ago. That first meeting ever between the two leaders will focus on narrowing the gap between rich and poor. U. S. President also hoping that meeting will help most his support with catholics back at home. We will get a bit more analysis on the u. S. President s visit with pope francis. I want to bring in douglas herb. Likes it looks like they want to start with the catholic issue, getting the support of catholics by cohost up lets just remember barack obama did get his reelection with rather heavy support from u. S. Catholics or american catholics. Especially from hispanic catholics. That was a big demographic in his election. So you are right he does want to boost his support because a lot of that along with the rest of his demographic in the u. S. Has waned. This popularity is not what it was.
