Pope Francis continues to shake up the Vatican — and the rest of the Roman Catholic world. We hear how the Pope from Argentina is shifting church power from Europe and the US to poor nations in the under-developed world.

Also, twelve people are dead in a terror attack on the French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

We get an update.
