his alleged victims came to court hoping for answers but. 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 children to promote his deen and thus putting him in contact with many more believers and children is simply irresponsible in the most powerful woman i think that a class will know to truth a better mechanism of silence and i think that the three days i want you for us to have real answers as you know how it was possible for a sexual predator to remain in this position for fifty years to have responsibilities without being asked 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 violent and most heinous crimes conceivable such abuse and absorb lee 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. dorsetshire pari al-jazeera. the head of brazil's environmental protection organization has resigned after the new government raised questions over spending the new president. has frequently criticized obama which is

a chat via you tube on twitter of course. i mean you. know with quotes africa and your. 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 to live ammunition and t. gas against protesters authorities say at least nineteen of been killed 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 car to. be obeyed is a senior member of sudan's ruling national congress party mahmoud is an activist stand out as a reporter i would use a hipper more good hellova but it's 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 beginning of january and equal have been protesting all all these 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 just some kind of leadership that should enhance professional associations it's which is a body of many but only an workers' unions and trade unions is calling for peace 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 thing. from a police station along with other twenty detained of hundreds are both are still detained and hardcore many more outside it's way. running 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 due to some reason the defeat of the reasons behind these protests and is there was this sense. no money and will be initially because of the rise of the prices of. necessity can really do is there like grip and also the shortage of filipe now the problem of shortage of full fuel he spins in now solve. the problem of diesel is not solved but some steps taken by the. to solve all of the

crises that. the protests at the restrictions against the government and they feel now there are. those people who are protesting but not like before but also if we compare them with the supporters of the government it will not find any comparison between the supporters and those people who are protesting and they feel 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 the effect the positive effect of this plan is now very obvious and this is sort of 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 the reason but the main reason is that people realize why did as high prices for bread i live in

shortening if you and the people realize that there is an if this government does that that the corruption that your government have been working and there for thirty years is the reason why we have shortened fuel and and then she said you know you know that. eighty percent of your budget is going towards protecting your and and the government eighty percent of the good of the budget is not going to education or health care or anything it is in italy going into creating more militias to protect the region because you knew this day will come you have you only knew that there will come here i see you not in delhi how to tell us what's behind the country when you really want to do it in the beginning of the you have you do it from the year two thousand up to two thousand. the cover minimum is let's run before the secure of the south so that is a country to see a lot of experience from different countries in africa. including see. do

you even when i was your. other consist and before the decision of the so i was there was no problem but i think that you have to serve living on the last of the movie or the throne so then i started to suffer from this. troublesome thing or to lesser. extent to the sanctions that imposed. although we will probably not of course when i don't know sanctions and so i'm actually not going to get there ever a chance to actually join in the conversations i had to go ahead and it was the start of it sanctions have been lifted in twenty seventeen and we've seen economy instead getting worse i've been covering sudan before the sanctions and after the sanctions and we can see that things have not been improving things are getting worse and people are saying that despite the crisis going away it seems to coming back repeatedly so it would be a month of bread of billable fuel available but then it comes back again and there would be long lines of. people waiting for to get bread long lines of people going

to try to get fuel and people are we see people lining every single day trying to get access to some more cash so you can see that that people are just going to be able to. do the problem will be solved today and that people should be happy because they're saying that it's not about the economy policies it's about the fact that the government is not able to handle its budget just like that eighty percent is going to word the military spending and the security spending and not going into health care not going into education or going into development mr abbott can i put this to you this comes from life or you change the conversation that's happening right now as we're watching the stream why has the government blocked off the internet for a direct question. yes actually i don't think that. go up but. now i am using internet and this is very clear that now skype is we have now are seeing. also hearing my voice i don't think that maybe is a bit blocked i mean

a couple that we can go please with that and you know interruption interruption is not good either to let me i'm only i'm interrupting i'm talking only ice and so are slides and i'm good while hundreds of comments are not it is not it is not actually being been because i am viewer again and i sometimes only interests and i mean it's not wrong to understand everything something says so if i don't think about it at the time that mr ahmed or the other guest also they would not want to speak to complete what that there are they want to say but actually this is you have to give me up for just completing and finishing then mr ahmed or give up can also start to what they want to comment about or what they want to give and letting us eyes you send them the internet is not blocked i'm out. the internet is very blocked social

media specifically if there is a procedure they blocked facebook twitter and. social media really you cannot access them without yes you can you can use skype and you can you can use google without you to do but there's no way to use what's up or facebook or twitter without of the. mystery of the other not to send a message or what's up without the you would not be able to move on so many here is a pharmacist let me share this bit of her back story here and she's been participating in the protest organized by the sudanese professionals association and she's been involved in various forms of protests performed on the streets and on the media and in the media she shares this. these pictures here from public protest it's a partial shutdown of pharmacies perform today on monday but pharmacies in a wide madani in support of demands of the sudanese people here i'm just wondering if these protests are now being organized and attended by the middle class of sudan

by professionals of sudan does that give this protest more power. well yes i mean let's realize that at this point it's seems to be every level of sudanese communities we're looking at people who have been facing economic crisis lower class lower income people who are also looking at people from middle class people who are well off there are protesting because it's going from the economy and our people are protesting the government itself that it's not just about the fact that the country is facing high prices and inflation they think it's the way the country is governed the fact that they can't express themselves freely you know journalists are being people can't come out and just express we've seen teachers yesterday just holding banners and being detained and beaten and arrested just because of that so it's not just about the fact that things are expensive in the market but there is no fuel and has quickly escalated from the economy to now the government and the fact that there's so many restraints that the government is imposing so many

restrictions that it's about living in sudan generally not just the economy let me bring in the voice of man had madame was tweeting to us at the stream and said i think it's about time that you look at the protests in sudan and she also sent us this free beer comment to help us with the conversation have a look have a listen we are going through this scene again is just is gold rush in the dollar shoe mismanagement of our preachers you source it is looking into this so this is a liquid health first religious so the issues have been going through and the times recently climate is highly social instability are on the rise our users are losing hope alive and so when people also go into the street simply to give us hope that we could write our own future deadly disease. robbie i'm wondering if this is a very strong new opposition that is asking for their government to be different

for their government to be changed. yes absolutely.
