moment -- and it won't be very far from now, when pope francis arrives here on the beach in copacabana, brooke. >> and the faces, shasta, of all the people he has greeted. mine was glued to the live router this morning seeing the faces as he walks through the favelas, the shanty towns, the poorest of the poor, very dangerous. why go there? i can only imagine the security nightmare for his people. >> reporter: absolutely, brooke, but you have to remember this is a man who said from the day he was elected that he was gog make serving the poor the cornerstone of his papacy. he's a franciscan, and he has said that he will walk among the poor. he will remind everyone that that's what jesus christ did and that's what he's here to do. so he has to go to the favelas, and even though they've stepped up security, there were hundreds of police, he's not going to let them keep him from the people, brooke. >> shasta darlington in the middle of the party for the pope at copacabana in rio.
