Then, how Pope Francis continues to shake up the Vatican with his nontraditional approach to leading the Catholic Church. Next, a new hospital is opening in South L.A. on the former campus of King Drew Medical Center, which was shut down eight years ago after decades of malpractice and mismanagement.
