>> reporter: hi there. merry christmas. thats right. pope francis legendary has no off switch. we saw him very much on again giving a 360-degree review of global hot spots hes worried about. as you said, he mentioned the heart on the heels of condemning president trumps relocation of the embassy in israel. he mentioned the middle east, prayed for peace for jerusalem, reiterated the vatican support for the two-state solution. also mentioned his recent trip to myanmar, talked about threats to mino...
