a reasoned request for an extension to the timetable of leaving by march the twenty ninth is made meaningful concessions though from the e.u. appear most unlikely it seems the road may be running out for the british prime minister dean barber al-jazeera. now a former vatican treasurer has been sentenced to six years in prison for sexually abusing two choir boys colleen old george pell is the most senior member of the catholic church to be found guilty of child sex offenses it was convicted by an australian court in the case which dates back to the nine hundred ninety s. but before giving the sentence the judge said pell's case was complex in your case this complexity is exemplified by the fact that on the one hand i must punish and denounce you for this appalling offending you know on the other hand i am conscious of the heavy reality that i am about to sentence you a man of advanced years who has led an otherwise blameless life to

a significant period of imprisonment which will account for a good portion of the balance of your mouth. hundred thomas has more from melbourne though. a small cheer went up when the crowd outside court heard the sentence as it was broadcast live the speakers here on the straights the judge had spent well over an hour running through the reasons he was about to impose the sentences that he was before he actually revealed what those sentences would be he talked about the gravity of the offenses the power imbalance between the archbishop on the one hand and to thirteen year old boys on the other but he also told us about cardinal pell's ill health and his eye and his otherwise good character and incidents of consideration as well the unprecedented interest in this case the fact that palace had to walk the gauntlet of people shouting at him screaming at him as he walked in and out of court each day that his experience of prison will be that much worse

than it will be for people of a lower profile only considered he said meant that he was imposing an overall sentence of six years of which hill at least three and a half of full he is eligible for parole cardinal pell is appealing his conviction that will be held in june that's a pale but in the meantime he'll spend those days in prison and he could be in prison for a lot longer beyond that. cardinal george held conviction sent shock waves through the catholic church the most senior catholic figure ever convicted of sexual abuse has been in prison awaiting sentencing since late february now he knows how long he's likely to remain locked up though it was a priest in rural australia who rose to become archbishop of first melbourne and late to sydney as australia's most senior catholic he oversaw the church's response to accusations of child abuse by others when a freaking clarrie was held looking into that he had to defend what many saw as

a coverup. but it didn't slow his career by now pelle was a college inal at the vatican in charge of the churches finances and close to the pope that life ended though when pelle was personally accused of sexual abuse in twenty seventeen he was forced to return to australia to stand trial i am innocent of these charges. are false. but twelve members of a jury in melbourne disagrees believing the word of a victim over the acts of the former archbishop the shock was widespread many question the verdict a former prime minister was among those to give character references in the hope of lessening his sentence pelle is appealing his conviction that appeal will be held in jail but until then at least. now with a wave of groundings across the globe in nations china and india have joined the

growing list of countries suspending the flying of the seven three seven eight tech croft it follows in the crash on sunday which killed all one hundred fifty seven people on board it was the second major accident involving the aircraft in five months but the u.s. aviation regulator insists the model is safe and sees no reason to ground the planes john hendren has mall. as investigators begin the first full day of their probe into the cause of a second deadly crash more and more of boeing seven thirty seven max aircraft are being grounded u.s. aviation officials insist the aircraft is safe but a growing list of countries say that until they get the assurances they need over the safety of the seven thirty seven max it is banned from their airspace u.s. airline passengers in an american flight attendants union share their concern u.s. senators are joining growing calls for the plane to be grounded well i think out of

an abundance of caution and frankly common sense it makes sense to ground aircraft has been involved and two very tragic accidents in six months the seven thirty seven max. eight should be grounded immediately. there is no reason for american fliers to be less. than. china. ethiopia argentina mexico and now apparently the united kingdom but boeing insists the plane remains safe saying it has full confidence in the safety of the seven thirty seven max the biggest users of the aircraft american airlines and southwest continue to fly the plane as do several foreign carriers and at the moment based on our safety assessment there is no requirement to take any action the aircraft is safe to fly speculation into the cause of the two separate crashes has centered on flight control software the u.s.

federal aviation administration plans to require a software enhanced meant that boeing says will be deployed on the next fleet in the coming weeks boeing says the update to maneuvering flight control and pilot display software would make quote an already safe aircraft even safer passengers might be confused but investors have reacted decisively they have hammered boeing stock costing the company billions of dollars in market value boeing had hoped to use this plane to overtake airbus in market share but now the company is just struggling to survive there is precedent for a global ban in two thousand and thirteen boeing took its massive new dreamliner out of service to resolve a problem with battery fires now once again boeing is struggling to hold steady through the turbulence john hendren al-jazeera chicago. al-jazeera is following headquarters in seattle as john anderton ended his report there with they're trying

to hold steady through the turbulence how long can they do it though that turbulence is great right rob. well a lot of that depends on what happens here in the united states and in particular with what happens regarding the decision making of the federal aviation administration the number one the governmental safety organization for air travel. is saying that safety is priority number one it says that it understands all why other regulatory agencies worldwide as well as some of its customers the airlines in other words have taken the actions that they have in grounding the fleet but at the same time it does note that the f.a.a. still says there's no reason to take the aircraft out of service in the united states the company says based on the information that it currently has at its

disposal there's no reason to issue any new guidance to the aircraft operators now grounding all of the of the entire worldwide fleet of seven thirty seven max aircraft would cost boeing somewhere between one and five billion dollars according to wall street analysts but that is a figure that boeing is well disposed to absorb at this point the company just posted earnings of over one hundred billion dollars revenues of over one hundred billion dollars including ten billion dollars in profits sammy. why is the f.a.a. seems that boeing is referring to the f.a.a. in justifying its decision why they hate taking such a different line than many other countries around the world. it's very striking and we've heard in john hundreds report that there is precedent for drugs for grounding a whole line of aircraft in twenty thirteen under the obama administration the

transportation secretary at the time ray la hood ordered that all of the seven eighty seven dreamliner in boeing's fleet be grounded because of problems with their lithium lithium batteries catching fire that was something that was very costly for boeing and now ray la hood that that. transportation secretary under obama is saying that the. the same remedy should be applied in other words the the same grounding should take place for the seven thirty seven back but the f.a.a. says it has found no systemic problems with the seven three seven max and it says that there's no basis for any order grounding the entire fleet at this time some of the big american companies that are still flying the fleet probably as we speak right now sammy include american airlines and southwest airlines. it's notable also

perhaps that president trump spoke today by phone with the c.e.o. of boeing dennis kneale and berger the two men have appeared frequently side by side during mr trump's presidency this came after president issued several tweets complaining about how complicated it seems that planes these days are standing. thanks so much for that an hour of run elts. still ahead on al jazeera tensions flare at one of the most sensitive religious sites in the middle east. just where is the peace reports of atrocities in south sudan despite last year's landmark deal to end the civil war.

kurdish forces on the ground leading this battle have said that the battle for bubbles is coming and then that's probably why we see this intensification of strikes and shelling now in the air strikes also stream important simply because on the ground the kurdish forces have been advancing very slowly they're trying to minimize their loss which could be a cure because of the fire or indeed the land mines and booby traps left behind by the i still fight as they retreat further in side who's a number of fighters are still holed up there considered to be do die hard ones the ones who are willing to fight until the bitter end it's still unclear how many civilians are in there or how many relatives of these eyes of fighters inside this is something that has taken the kurds by surprise over the past few weeks thousands

and thousands of people have streamed out and up to sixty five thousand are now held in one camp alone in the hall where conditions are extremely difficult because no one was expecting such a large number. there are also reports that about one hundred fifty fighters have also surrendered on tuesday during the day now that is the pattern that has been ongoing also. intense shelling at night somehow lighter fighting during the day and allowing those who want to surrender as safe passage israeli forces have placed. on lockdown after scuffles with worshippers of fire as a police station inside the compound led to the fighting her a force that has more now from occupied east jerusalem. over here in the streets in occupied east jerusalem outside the old city a few hundred meters away from the iraq's a mosque compound and it is here in the streets in alleyways where the last prayers

weeks when the islamic world has decided to reopen an area that was been closed by the israeli authorities since two thousand and three an area around a place known as the mercy gate it is a place which israel thought you said was being used by a group linked to hamas at that time but now the work has decided to reopen it and a deadline for the closure of that imposed by israeli courts expired on monday still no resolution to that situation despite talks to be going on between israel and jordan the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has put out a statement about today's events saying that it is a dangerous escalation that has been mounted here by the israelis certainly is a much greater increase in tensions that have already been high in recent weeks. the united nations says fighting in south sudan is continuing despite last year's peace deal a u.n. commission on human rights says it's identified some of the individuals involved

it's also considering the introduction of a call to end what it sees as a culture of impunity carol morgan has was in the capital juba. there were high hopes when a south sudan peace deal was announced last year but fighting since january a reverse ended any optimism these people were forced to leave their homes to survive their government forces are right now until. they threaten their. communities or appropriates and with the guns swords. with the guns swords that was different today this second day they began to lose their properties. opened their doors. they came and they opened their doors. everything even if they went up to the charts more than ten thousand people have been displaced since january due to fighting between the government and armed groups who didn't find the latest piece the the civil war

started in twenty thirty two years after the country's independence from sadam it's estimated that at least four hundred forty thousand people have been killed and a quarter of the country's twelve million population has been displaced as a result now the u.n. commission on human rights in south sudan is saying the agreement has not delivered any immediate improvement and no one's being held responsible. the commission is naming twenty three individuals it says lately to rule in crimes during the war that in addition to fifty two army commanders last year. the government has announced that he intends to set up a special court to deal with sexual violence but this will be ordinary sexual based violence and not conflict related sexual violence and i think there's a huge distinction because the one means that you're going to have to hold many of the military commanders accountable and that's really where the commission's aim is which is to look at this question of command and superior responsibility because

our work is in relation to the future hybrid court of south sudan in the two hundred page report the commission says crimes continue and that there is an increase in arbitrary detention torture execution and for disappearances and that sexual violence which previous report has said was used as a weapon of war in the conflict is on the rise the commission also said that south sudan's oil income which accounts for more than mine three percent of the country's economy could be used to fund the war south sudan's government denies that we're in the war the war is over we have an agreement signed. by. countries that. we are using. and also carry out. meaning. by the government of south sudan is the world's youngest nation we're work crimes and displacement have plagued it for most of its existence this year and reports suggest there are few
