pennsylvania to see how the church and its victims are responding. in the diocese of harrisburg at the first in a series of meetings bishop ronald gaynor explains to catholics what's being done to stop clergy abuse and help victims including setting up a compensation fund i hope that this is the beginning as one step to. for a better safer catholic church but it isn't enough for the forty sisters five of whom were abused in the diocese by the same priest they want all perpetrators and those who protect them to be held accountable in a court of law carolyn was still in diapers when her abuse started in her family's case there was evidence in the church paid a one million dollars settlement in exchange for not pressing charges or talking about the case last year when the pennsylvania attorney general released a state wide report on clergy abuse the forty's learned at the church had received

another complaint against their abuser and done nothing that was a validation to me for us and that's what victims are seeking they're seeking that moment in court it wasn't just the four unease the report found credible evidence that statewide some three hundred priests had abused more than a thousand children and that the church had a pattern of covering it up the revelations have led to a federal investigation and at least a dozen more states are now compiling their own reports in pennsylvania victims have been lobbying elected officials to suspend the statute of limitations in older cases and give victims two years to take the church in their abusers to court but legislation has gone nowhere amid fears lawsuits would bankrupt the church in new york churches have already made more. two hundred million dollars in payouts communal bureaus overseas the awarding of funds for several dioceses and i think.

these programs have afforded these victims an outlet a place to go an avenue to seek some sort of compensation and admission of what happened but elected official mark razi who was raped by a priest at thirteen believes changing the statute is the only way to hold the church accountable this is about the hierarchy aiding and abetting known perpetrators that allowed this to go on and that's why i'm bad is that this has to stop courtney says she was heartened by what she heard at the meeting not from the bishop but from other catholics a lot of them are voiced thing that you know they're going to withhold their their financial contributions raising the pressure on politicians as well as the church christian salumi al-jazeera harrisburg pennsylvania. being homeless in hungary has become a criminal offense now police are rounding up and fining people living on the streets

others have gone into hiding making them even more vulnerable to the harsh winter weather john a whole reports from the captain. the sleek clean boulevards of budapest this is how increasingly all solitary and government wants them to look no refugees or illegal immigrants and no no homeless people either we're just trying to enable our author of this to step up against something which we believe is against human nature and human dignity and we would like public spaces to get their meaning back and operate as they were intended it's not a decision the government took lightly a previous attempt was ruled a violation of human dignity by the constitutional court so the government changed the constitution itself all of which is heartbreaking to people like youngish torak janish lives in a caravan after he lost his home his job even his family when a house fire and no insurance left him with crippling debt. i'm afraid of it

i can't say better i'm afraid it could happen any time i wake up every morning scared that someone may not call my door and say we can take your stuff away go elsewhere the government did sists it's looking after the people being swept off the streets but we take care of them we provide shelter provisions and all the support that is required not a social workers and they believe that the shelter system is mountainous so this problem heather and the government still thinks about opening some new show there is about the numbers show that there are more than thirty thousand people homeless in hungary at the moment there are eleven thousand places. cycling's through the city volunteers carrying food and blankets search for those who have not made it to a shelter for the night in a railway station underpass where dozens once slept they find just three people.

too many people in this in the shelters so there is a one hundred person and more than one hundred thirty in the shadows so it's a crowded and overcrowding in the shelters so the volunteers means many homeless people have gone into hiding making them even more vulnerable to the elements. shelters like these this one is a private facility barely come close to meeting the needs of the homeless on the streets and while it's obviously a good idea to get people off the streets in below zero conditions like this and volunteers are doing what they can that's not the point behind the government's decision to criminalize homelessness in hungary one social worker described it as projecting power over the powerless don't know how al-jazeera budapest all right still ahead on. north korea get hit for six. centers here with that story.

part of.

your. the girls corner your son i thank you very much a has a mug through to the knockout rounds of the asian cup the twenty twenty two world cup hosts north korea's six nil to book their place in the last sixteen and my school the four goals and the lion and his move to the top of the twenty point five both korea have now can see that ten goals and two games after losing their open in saudi arabia four nil is the first time ever that qatar have one their opening two group games at the asian cup. well

place saudi arabia on thursday that game will decide which team goes into the knockout rounds as group one is lebanon and a north korea an outside chance of going through as one of the best placed teams while japan versus oman has just kicked off japan top group an opening win against a man to stand they faced but his son in sunday's late game. liverpool have gone seven points clear at the top of the english premier league a penalty from a homicide was enough for liverpool to beat brighton one nail it with seventy of goal of the season in all competitions second in the table manchester city play wolves on monday. we have to deliver results and it's to because enough and. and for that we need to performance of the performance was good it was not the best

performance of the season in a few puppets but from a maturity point of view i would say most of the most mature woman to get into season the l.a. rounds have clinched their first n.f.l. playoff victory in fourteen years they be the that us cowboys in the divisional round on saturday winning the game thirty two twenty two they are now just one victory away from the super bowl runs next face either the new orleans saints all the current super bowl champions the philadelphia eagles ok or you hear it say nothing about that do you remember right there about the parents. right here is running for head coach saw on the day with his team off about when mcrae was hired in twenty seventeen when he was just thirty that meeting the youngest head coach in n.f.l. history. to be able to see guys you know have that success and then be a part of it to be able to share it with and that's what's so special about

football talk about a guy like you and you will spend playing as long as he has to see him play at the level that he played out tonight and then to be able to get his first playoff win with these guys he's teammates and we care so much about and love these guys and now you know we've got a big game next week that we get ready for starting tomorrow well kansas city chiefs quarterback patrick mohawks that lead his team to a set you want to thirteen win over the indianapolis colts and the chiefs said the first a.f.c. title game appearance in twenty five years except for them will be either the l.a. charges old the new england patriots. well to mow big games coming on sunday super bowl champions philadelphia at new orleans and the n.h.l. just take on new england and f.l. right away but mays things both the patriots and the eagles i know they need to of losing their games i think the future is absolutely get upset the chargers are very talented roster and will often say very few of the patriots advantages really boil

down to tom brady bill belichick and playing at home and that recipe has worked out for them in the past constantly but this time around it just doesn't seem like they have as much rosters now as the chargers their neighborhoods only back or it's and that essentially says it's years or even considering the patriots are home so i don't charters we're not a game and the other side of the eagles winning that would be an upset you know they're not supposed to win this game they may be the defending super bowl champions but they've had a middling season strugglers arms and we're not far removed from them getting blown out of water by the saints in new orleans so i just feel like. the eagles going in and beating drew brees after the saints of the season that they've had that would surprise me but if he says and in my eyes decision to quit tennis has hit his generation of players hard said or at least speaking on the eve of the australian open a grand slam event where murray has reached the final five times i says that he's hoping to retire after wimbledon later this year but admits the sustained hip

injury may force him to end his career before that the thirty one year old has won three grand slam titles and to him pick the gold medals. of course i hope that he can play get a stray note and i can keep playing beyond that and you know really finish to where you want to stretch and wimbledon that's what i hope i hope for him but of course i mean it's top guys hard you know because we know very well like him. to see him struggle so much and go through so much pain is. it's very sad and it hurts me you know as as you know he's a longtime friend colleague driver you know i've. nurtured very. good relationship with him on and off the court so a land of magic has ended the full game losing streak in the n.b.a. by beating the visiting boston celtics orlando's gordon the worst the top scorer in

the game with twenty eight points and twelve rebounds the magic held off the late todd by the visiting celtics beating them one hundred five to one in three boston have not lost back to back. and also as well for me i have more later on but for now hand you back to high as i said i will look forward to that is it for this news hour be back in two minutes with more days in which the. in the next episode of science in a golden age of be exploring the contributions made by scholars during the medieval islamic period in the field of engineering. the heights of sophistication in mechanics at the time was the extravagant elephant cloak. written around eight

security. a lot has a stake in this is live from davos also coming up an influential regional group backs calls for a vote recount in the democratic republic of congo. a handshake shrouded in secrecy a new report reveals how far president donald trump went to high details of a meeting with vladimir putin. what's in a name change enough to threaten the future of the greek government. or the u.s. secretary of state is calling on countries in the gulf to end their dispute saying it's gone on too long my pompei o is in qatar on the latest leg of his middle east tour he's already been to the united arab emirates behind in egypt and heads to saudi arabia all of them have been blockading qatar economically for the past

eighteen months qatari leaders denied their accusations of supporting what they call terrorist groups or said a unified gulf cooperation council would benefit everyone. today in our conversations i stressed the importance of unity among the gulf cooperation council members president trump and i both believe the ongoing dispute in the region has dragged on too long and the dispute benefits adversaries and harms our mutual interests our nations do important work and we have important work to continue to do together and the united states hopes the parties involved will see once again the benefits of cooperation and taking actions necessary to rebuild unity in their ranks and united g.c.c. is essential to the middle eastern alliance which we hope will include the g.c.c. egypt and jordan and then they left leaving a bit and then we have had a bilateral meeting with the secretary of state and we have discussed all the issues of interest for our countries regional issues starting with the gulf

cooperation council and the peace process in the middle east as well as the re conciliation in afghanistan as well as other issues such as syria and counterterrorism we are looking forward to the outputs of this meeting to be the foundations for a strong future a face between the church countries as someone who bought a house lawn is now. the gulf dispute was on top of the agenda with the u.s. secretary of state expressing concerns about the crisis dragging on but he didn't further elaborate on what the americans are trying to offer to put an end to the crisis what we know so far is that the g.c.c. secretary general of the thief is the only along with the midst of foreign affairs use of another we made a surprise visit to doha on saturday we don't know whether this is part of a new push by the g.c.c. to try to narrow differences among qatar on one hand saudi arabia bahrain the u.a.e. and egyptian on the other hand by the americans remain quite concerned they are trying to build a new regional allies against what they consider to be

a growing iranian influence in the region and they know their chances to tackle that issue in particular along with other issues like instability in syria iraq the war against isis war in yemen they cannot do that unless they have all the countries on board or might want to share is a senior political analyst he joins me now to talk more about this so a lot of what we've heard from the from from my pompei on this middle east force a lot of talk of iran and the need to to present a strong front against them how is that going to play out in qatar which generally has better relations with iran. well clearly the for the united states understood that with the blockade being what it is of qatar by surrounding neighbors that the only pathway out of qatar is through the area in airspace so i think it does clear for the for the throne been in a situation from the beginning that qatar will have that exception the exception of

being able to deal with iran on a number of levels because of the blockade of its neighbors and it was up to the top administration that basically poured fuel on the fire of the crisis in the early days when trump mistakenly deceived into taken the side of saudi arabia and the and and the united arab emirates against got them which later on of course changed into something much more objective if you will but that being the case washington understands that qatar needs to live and survive and trades and so on so forth and hence there has to be that kind of a special issue for the time being at least with iran now there's of course the other aspect to it which is you can't really build an alliance against iran or anyone else dies from seoul so forth you can build that middle east alliance without having that gulf unity because the gulf region supposed to be at the core of whatever new alliance was to be built it's very difficult to see that with the

gulf cooperation council being but allies with differences being a new dating if you will among the neighbors and so on so forth so it's going to be important to dissolve the qatar crisis but if it's not resolved clearly doha has taken the position the decision. to continue with life as normal until it's neighbors wake up and smell the coffee and if we talk about syria then this he's there essentially to kind of clarify the u.s. position on syria because we've seen this kind of gradual walking back of the u.s. position there initially the president pulling out troops and now we're hearing it's going to be much slower and it's there isn't really going to be much that much of a change and so on it's kind of a clean up operation isn't it well in the beginning in the first two days it was john bolton the national security adviser the third to do damage control because of

the confusion in the region from president trumps the clinician in syria unfortunately his maneuvers. back fired the turkish president would not even meet with him even referring to him and directly in the turkish media refer to him as paper pusher so it's not exactly a great compliment for the national security adviser i think secular pompei who understands person from perhaps more and tends to have a more sober if you over iran even though if it's you know quite untie iran but certainly more sober than done john bolton known for his his support of even a war against the one i think pumping us trying to build a coalition he's not trying to do these little maneuvers that john bolton tried to do i think it's clear for him he's been saying that from the beginning that that the u.s. would pull out its troops from syria but it would remain engaged certificate diplomatic in other ways and that's why next in the middle of next month we will

have the poland meeting the second the pumping of spoke about today what's going to the united states going to bring about a number of countries from around the world probably putting a lot of pressure a lot of carrots and sticks in order for them to attend and to put together this kind of a united front against iran if you will and then he moves on to saudi arabia u.s. secretary of state where he's going to expected to meet with the crown prince mohamed in sad man obviously the investigation into the murder of the saudi jenna's jamal khashoggi is going to be a big topic there what what can we expect out of that look i think there's we it's sort of the you know there's a pattern to it right it's been more than three months where there's a pattern to the thump and mistrust of diplomats so saudi arabia. the the known knowns as it were is that washington knows what went down in istanbul and what we understood from the cia director is that. there is

a clear line of responsibility as to who gave the orders and who implemented that situation to carry out the more their consumer has of yet the top administration is not coming out in the open and accusing him of the sentiment or anyone else for that matter except those who implemented this issue and hence they sanctioned them . so that some of messages saying look there is a do a process here there's a see the one that goes on secret we don't know exactly what goes on but you would expect them to be putting pressure on the royals in riyadh in order to come up with some answers even if they're not comprehensive answers and to do some things about it meaning mix i'm sure it doesn't happen again while on the other hand openly they support saudi arabia secular they're pumping all spoke positive though saudi arabia in his cairo speech he continues to do that and i think for the thumbprint mr should saudi arabia is an important commercial and strategic ally i think they made the decision that they're going to continue with that regardless of their record of

murder human rights or anything else that so did those in the region the right model and thanks very much see if there's political analyst model on the show now the syrian army is preparing for an attack by turkish forces on the kurdish rebel stronghold of manby syria's government has deployed soldiers artillery and tanks to the northwest suburbs of the city as u.s. forces prepare to leave taki considers the kaddish y p g a terrorist group. an influential african political bloc is calling for a recount of the democratic republic of congo's presidential election the regional body sadek monitored last month's vote of the group has suggested a unity government be formed after the disputed result opposition leader martin for you know who is challenging the outcome of the constitutional court he says the election is fraudulent and has demanded a recount after his rival felix she sick a the was declared the winner. we have

faith our phrases and shake them because the people have decided and the wishes of the people will come true i am a man of face. joins us live now from kinshasa so had a war you seeing and hearing there. people are reacting to this news from the regional body that again not a keeper yet know that because this election was so controversial a recount may actually be ordered by the court there the judges are going to meet on monday they could decide to declare this week on or they could just stay the kitty won the election to be sworn in on january eighteenth one reason why i said it was probably a unity government formed just avoid conflict of what violence we saw an example of this weekend that disputed election of two thousand and eight robert mugabe was forced to sit power with morgan tsvangirai it worked for about five years i mean it was no secret the team didn't like each other but the had to work together and the country was ready to be stable for those five years we've seen that with the beach

nobody said it is trying to push here as well to try and aimed any potential companies or violence from erupting as and so what's likely to happen. next and particularly now that we we have this reaction from there the regional bloc sadek saying that there needs to be a recount or perhaps a unity government as a solution here. what's probably going to happen is we're going to hear more from the opposition leader and from the k.t. and maybe from president joseph kabila in reaction to this a call from static i think what you might see is there may be some kind of emergency meeting held by so i think maybe and then get because he's kind of a chain of it now. in zambia perhaps or maybe you could maybe the see them some of the leaders coming here to deal with the to try and talk to some of these individuals but now all eyes of course will be on the challenge for monday when those constitutional judges and meet they have a big task ahead of them.
