Pope lands in Canada to make apologies for indigenous abuse

Pope Francis landed in Canada on Sunday, kicking off a five-day visit where the focus will be on his apology for the role the Roman Catholic Church played in the abuse of indigenous children who attended so-called residential schools.

The pontiff's plane touched down in Edmonton in the western province of Alberta, the first of three main stops he will make. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be among those who greet the pope on the tarmac.
