us to be firm dissonances in the pursuit of truth and justice a big deludes forgiveness of these sin these are the scandal of betrayal felt by so many families. well a series of revelations of a b.s. by catholic institutions and clergy have significantly undermined the church's influence in arlen's like many other countries that's been rocked by scandals of the sexual abuse of children by priests condemned by the pope as an atrocity he has also condemned the practice which saw a church run institutions routinely take babies from unmarried mothers and put them up for adoption the pope said it was not to send for mothers to search for their lost children as church officials had told them and for the scandal was the so-called magdalene laundries where thousands of women were of the church regarded as fallen were held in institutions and forced to work the pope has met survivors of the laundries and off the tuam mother and baby home where the remains of about

eight hundred babies and small children were found in a month masquerade last year the scandals have led to a loss of moral authority by the once all powerful church advise on same sex marriage and abortion was rejected in recent referendums meanwhile a former top vatican official has accused pope francis of knowing for years that u.s. cardinal theodore mccarrick was accused of sex child sex abuse archbishop carlo money having gone though alleges that pope francis tried to rehabilitate mccarrick when he found out in twenty thirteen mccarrick resigned last month following a u.s. church investigation into the accusations he abused a minor and since then several others have come forward alleging he olds of molested them. he barker's in dublin following the pope's visit. for the papal mass here in phoenix park is under way crowds have braved terrible weather to be here for this final mass of course the pope began to his last day here in ireland

over in the west of the country where it was very quick to address on growing concerns about the church is impact when it comes to sexual abuse against children allegations that date back many decades he begged for forgiveness for the church and from the congregation that gathered in front of him of course there are many concerns amongst survivors some of who met the pope that perhaps he hasn't gone far enough even though he did use many times very strong language to condemn abuse somewhat the pope to give concrete examples of what the vatican can do next whether that means lifting the leaves of vatican files about of use of the post or whether that means making sure that senior clerics religious figures ordinary priests who may be responsible for covering up abuse are no longer able to serve in the catholic church will although clearly there was a lot of love and affection for the pope here in ireland it appears as if his work

and representatives to serving three terms and require elected officials to disclose information about their finances their voting records and who has lobbied them those convicted of corruption would get jail sentences without parole and not house arrest and it would also require public bodies to award contracts openly and transparently and give citizens a say on public spending measures in the budget but others under obvious he is live for us and both that size so how does that or what are the supporters of this initiative hoping that this would achieve. if you ask anybody here in colombia what they think about corruption they'll tell you that this is a marketing problem get very little has been done so far every time congress had an opportunity to vote on measures similar to the ones that are in this referendum they have voted down and even if this issue has really taken the forefront recently

as colombia health they for after the signing of a peace deal with which party rebels are again little has been done so this is according to the organizers really a unique opportunity for colombians do something about them for some politicians that you change the way politics are done in the country. and the former senator cloudy a lot places on a mission trying to convince colombians to vote in the country's first ever and take corruption initiative because in columbiana titian's in colombia are stealing fifty billion pesos a year that's a quarter of colombia's wealth they steal through illegal contracts through a full spitting and contracting their friends this is citizen action to end it. volunteers gathered four million signatures for the referendum to reach the ballots but they now need twelve million colombians to vote on sunday for it to pass which

like it says would be a turning point in the fight against graft they must get out and. we have been waiting twenty five years for congress to act on these measures instead they voted them down every single time voters will weigh in on seven different measures that would affect politicians salary term limits and introduce mandatory jail sentences for corruption while some cases of recently made headlines the initiative success is far from certain congress is widely considered the most corrupt. country and he was surprised by many. while lawmakers say things should be also suitable posed this referendum. most parties in congress voted in favor of the referendum before the last presidential elections but i've seen some voided any promotion of the initiative president announced he will vote but many in this party say they will not let me just go to the floor laws don't solve corruption in colombia is full of

codes and regulations but nothing changes we need to change the culture in the country and we need citizens to keep a close eye on politicians otherwise we are just throwing away public money in initiatives that will have little effect. but in there said man this of transparency international says the vote can have a major impact or. if millions of citizens would in favor for eleven strong symbolic effort in the political class it will said this is not an issue they'll field in the background check spect in the south and concrete measures if it passes the referendum will be binding with congress obligated to introduce changes within a year the answer lies in the hands of colombian voters who have an opportunity to turn the page on politics as usual in the country. so alexander they say referendum is calling for some pretty drastic measures and will it be difficult to get the minimum amount of votes needed to make the results binding.

it might be quite difficult polls have been open for more than three hours now but we haven't seen the same amount of people that voted at least where we are now compared to the last presidential elections or throughout many thirty of elections back in march and the last major referendum in the country was the one about the peace deal signed by the previous government of the present moment i was tempted with clark rebel in that case thirteen million the colombians voted twelve a little over twelve million are needed already or that the electoral college here in columbia for the referendum to the binding but organizers say that even if it doesn't pass is that many millions of people vote so they say eight ten million colombians come out and vote this will stand and important message to politicians in the country that something needs to be done about corruption there was one case

just just to give our viewers an example a few months ago colombia said the chief and say corruption. prosecutor was arrested and extradited to the u.s. for receiving ride. of you just how big of a issue that is now the answer here is in the hands of the colombian voters we'll see in a few hours what will happen if this referendum will indeed pass and that's out there on b.s.e. on the ongoing anticorruption referendum in bogota thank you. around one hundred forty migrants on board a ship for six days have finally been allowed to disembark on the italian island of sicily after the catholic church albania and arlen's agreed to take them in italy had refused to allow them off the coast guard ship and solicitation has reached over their relocation that's prompted prosecutors in sicily to launch a criminal investigation into the interior minister and i say it says the me.
