we've seen a record number of tourists and pilgrims visiting 'd both bethlehem and jerusalem this year and what has added to the festive atmosphere is the fact that the pope francis has given a relic this size a fragment of wood that has been in rome for nearly 1400 years and this is believed to have been part of the major part of the creed where jesus christ lay so it was received you with a great. ness and the belief here is that it will draw more tourists to visit the city on the other hand israeli authorities have prevented yet again gazans some leaving and zipping the west bank visiting beslan and visiting jerusalem and even though last year they get a commission for 700 palestinian christians to leave the gaza strip and visit this year the number was only 300 so the disappointment in gaza was very high amidst very strong condemnations from the various churches. it was journalist sammy suckle speaking to us from jerusalem let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. and she lay a wildfire has destroyed dozens of homes in the port city of so thou
