South American Pope Visits Brazil As we begin this program, Pope Francis is about to land in Rio for World Youth Day in Brazil, the world's largest Catholic nation. The media contingent for his return to South America is said to number some 5000, and the visit is important for many reasons, as we hear from Rocco Palmo, who writes the widely-read Catholic blog, Whispers in the Loggia .

Trump's 'America First' goes missing abroad In the Middle East, President Trump is changing some policies of the Obama Administration—and reversing his own campaign attacks on Islam as a religion that "hates us." We hear about his visit to Saudi Arabia and what's at stake for the rest of his foreign excursion.
What happens when America retreats from the world?

León Krauze guest hosts.
