Topic: St Peters Square

Pope Francis apologized after an incident in St. Peter's Square where he visibly lost patience and slapped the hand of a woman who had grabbed him and pulled him toward her. The altercation occurred just before the Pope delivered a speech denouncing violence against women. Observers noted the Pope's expression of disgust following the encounter as a sign of elitism.

The atmospheric events surrounding the papal conclave are discussed, including a seagull landing on the Sistine Chapel chimney and the timing of rain stopping as the white smoke appeared. The hosts contrast the ancient, low-tech signaling methods of the Vatican with the high-tech, global media presence of anchors like Brian Williams in St. Peter's Square.
