the contribution that you've made to our communities i'm not simply saying that but proving it to them by saying you know what breaks it is not something that the labor party wants to be associated with. the vast majority of labor party members regard it as a national disaster and criticizing party leader jeremy corbin is a sacrilege it could be himself has a preferred policy of leaving the european union and it's tearing the labor policy of poles the labor leadership fears the wrath of the traditional whites working class whose anti european views underpinned the lever if it supports staying in the e.u. and they cannot square the circle parliament's appears deadlocked yet remain supporters keep pointing out that the labor party leadership shifted position and supported staying in the european union and almost certainly they would be a parliamentary majority for no breakfast at all in any shape or form yet standing in the way of that is jeremy corbin's long held euro skepticism his belief that the

european union is a block on workers' rights with bricks it now coming to a head many labor m.p.'s are involved in parliamentary maneuvers to stop both a no deal and potentially force a second referendum to try to block the entire projects if the u.k. does end up leaving the european union and expects a raft of resignations by labor m.p.'s and acts of his who say jeremy cole been promised to listen to the views of his membership and is now bent on ignoring them could end up destroying corbin's hopes of becoming prime minister laurence li al jazeera london. when one of the most senior catholic involved in a sex abuse scandal has gone on trial cardinal felipe barber and the archbishop of rail is accused of helping to cover up abuse. as more. sixty eight year old cardinal food. one of the most prominent catholic figures in france arrived for

the start of his court proceedings the archbishop of leon is accused of helping to cover up abuse in one of his parishes five others from his diocese are also facing charges the case is about father bernard print on who has acknowledged abusing boys and is said to be tried later this year more than eighty five people say he abused them during the one nine hundred eighty s. and one nine hundred ninety s. his alleged victims came to court hoping for answers. that the cardinal is responsible for the diocese and in two thousand and thirteen he promoted a priest as dean who some years before had admitted to having abused children when you were responsible for a person who has admitted to having abused and raped children to promote his deen and thus putting him in contact with many more believers and children is simply irresponsible in the most awful i think to the closest we will know to truth about a mechanism of silence and i think that the three days away for us to have real answers is you know how it was possible for a sexual predator to remain in this position for fifty years to have

responsibilities without being a single question. cardinal faces up to three years in prison and a fine of fifty four thousand dollars if convicted of failing to report the abuse of minors he denies the allegations. there have been numerous cases of sexual abuse of children within the roman catholic church. and pope francis has reiterated the church's commitment to preventing such crimes. she. can't refrain from speaking about one of the plagues of our time which sadly has involved some members of the clergy the abuse of minors as one of the violence the most heinous crimes conceivable such abuse and absorbedly sweeps away the best of what human life holds out for innocent children and causes a reparable and lifelong damage the holy see in the church as a whole are working to combat and prevent these crimes and their concealment in. this case will likely hinge on whether a cardinal should have reported

a priest under his responsibility to police once he learned about the allegations against him for now the cardinal will have to answer some very hard questions in this courtroom in the days ahead. al-jazeera. gambia has started hearings and to a ledge human rights abuses committed during more than two decades under the previous government the truth reconciliation and reparations commission is looking into the twenty two year. it seems to pal and a military coup in one thousand nine hundred four his regime is accused of torture executions and the disappearance of appointments and journalists shot i was forced into exile often times in the election in twenty sixteen. well the model says it's pulling out of an anti-corruption commission line months earlier than expected the u.n. backed body has been investigating top government officials and the family of president jimmy more on this last year he decided not to renew its mandate and this week refused to allow the head of the commission back into guatemala morales says as

sudan so send is a chat via you tube on twitter of course. i mean you. know with quotes africa. anti-government demonstrators are once again calling for the resignation of sudanese president omar al bashir on sunday faculty members of the university of khartoum were arrested as a trying to join the protests more than two thousand demonstrators have been arrested since december nineteenth many say they are fed up by high food prices fuel shortages and inflation caused by what they see as government mismanagement to bush years nearly thirty year rule security forces have reportedly used a live ammunition and t.v. gas against protesters authorities say at least nineteen of been killed while the human rights group amnesty international estimated the death toll to be at thirty seven the government has responded by cutting access to social media sites joining

us to talk about all of this from khartoum. the obaid is a senior member of sudan's ruling national congress party. is an activist stand out as a reporter i would use a hipper morgan hello everybody is really good to have you here here you've reported on sudan for a very long time these protests what makes them different as far as you're concerned. well i think the fact that it went on for so long was quite interesting we've seen protests over the past few years twenty top twenty thirteen beginning of january twenty equal have been protesting all all the signs over the park the economy about the rise in bread prices right and food i want to see prices but this what went on for more than three weeks actually not three weeks right now as i don't think and the response you know usually people are afraid once they are live ammunition and tear gas but this time they seem to be very determined. you've been out in the streets you have been protested you've even been detained what happened

to. well firstly i would like to come back to the point why it's different it's actually different because the stone there is some kind of leadership there so that means professional associations it's which is a body of many but only an workers' unions and their unions is calling for this but this does the reason it's different many different stuff i went protesting on the on the twenty fifth of december and again on the thirty first of december i was at a school on the thirty first of the route to be done by security agents in plainclothes in. yeah and i was a police of the same day. from a police station along with other twenty detained of hundreds are both are still detained and hardcore many more are also toppled. rami i'm getting in a lot of response from people on social media even though social media has been cut

off in sudan people using v.p.n. in order to get around the fact the not able to get online so easily national here on twitter says the solidarity of the sudanese people has never been so strong thousands in any one area have been active in the demonstrations what do you make of that. yes i think that these demonstrations. the government do to some reason the unifi of the reasons behind these protests and is the most efficient are no maybe and will be initially because of the rise of the prices of. necessity communities like bread and also the shortage of fuel in now the problem of shortage of poor fuel spins in now solve this. the problem of obesity is

not solved but some steps taken by the go to solve on the crisis that. the protests at the restrictions against the government and they feel now they are the those people who are protesting but not like before about and also if we compare them with the supporters of the government will not find any comparison between the supporters and those people who are protesting and they think that the government is very keen to solve the problem because of the problems and to fill the cup of the economy in a very short period of time according to a very quick plan this plan of action i think that has taken out place the effect the positive effect of this plan is now very obvious and this is solve the problem this problem is not money not a political problem but the economic problem due to. the thing mr. i argue with you that the prices in bread and the shortage of fuel is anything but the main

reason is that people realize why did as high prices for bread i live in shortening if you want the people realize that there is an instance government that the corruption that your government have been working under it for thirty years is the reason why we have shortened fuel and and that is is it. that. eighty percent of your budget is going towards the checking your and the government eighty percent of the of the budget is not going to education or health care or anything it is literally going into creating more militias to protect that it gene because you knew this day will come you have your own with new ideas they will come here i see you not and go how to tell us what's behind it how do. you think they're going to do that you do it from there you have two sons an hour.
