one of the most high—ranking times, from stanford university. called his shortcomings, during more than five officials in the catholic church, years in the post. tell us what we can expect to see he negotiated the twenty—fifteen the australian cardinal and former nuclear deal that restricted between these two men. report is iran's nuclear ambitions in vatican treasurer george pell, return for an easing has been convicted of sexual abuse. of international sanctions. very clearly important, relationship a father whose two children died in the hillsborough he was found guilty in december building ofa very clearly important, relationship building of a big part of what takes football disaster in 1989, on five charges of assaulting two choirboys pa rt building of a big part of what takes part at summits generally speaking, in melbourne cathedral, and for this president in but reporting restrictions particular, that relationship aspect have only now been lifted. it's just two days since the pope of diplomacy is clearly very held an unprecedented conference at the vatican to address important. i think it is important a damaging series of allegations against priests worldwide. that the two leaders continue to more from the bbc‘s hywel griffith. develop a personal relationship, more than that, this summit needs to set in place a framework so that it he had returned from rome is notjust the set in place a framework so that it claiming he would clear his name, is not just the top level top down but cardinal george pell, once one of the pope's of relationship building experience. closest advisers, now faces going to jail. there needs to be a greater working level interaction as well. you have the 77—year—old was for many years some insight because you have been speaking to the key point person the face of the church in australia, from the american side looking in to revered for his intellect this north korean issue. tell us a and uncompromising manner. but pell also used his power little bit about what the people you have been speaking to have been to manipulate and abuse. saying about what is likely to come

in 1996, in one of his first services as archbishop of time at stamford earlier in melbourne cathedral, a bit of time at stamford earlier this month on the way to pyongyang pell found two choirboys helping to conduct negotiations. he and his themselves to communion wine. he told them that team are very pragmatic, very realistic and have long—term goal. they were in trouble, anne stanley to be short—term and then, grabbing them by the head, windfall wisely. kim jong—un needs forced both into to go home and sell this deal a series of sexual acts. in his rise through the ranks amongst the elite politicians and of the catholic church in australia, george pell became responsible political actors in north korea. 0n for dealing with the abuse perpetrated by other priests. a troublesome if the take something home networks in an increasingly here in melbourne, he claimed credit difficult political environment back in washington, dc. interesting, for setting up a world—first system to counsel and compensate victims, because obviously we all watched the but for decades, first summit between the two, it was his crimes remained hidden. george pell reached the top level in the vatican, historic, had there was a handshake, becoming its treasurer. it eased tensions, it broke the ice, from rome, he gave evidence to but as you say, a lot more substantive details and concrete an inquiry into abuse in australia. measures are really going to have to come out of this one. right. the the church has, in many places, certainly in australia, singapore summit was widely has mucked things up, criticised for being nothing, and indeed, it was very light on has made — let people down. i'm not here details. but it did create a space in which conditions can then to defend the indefensible. proceed. i think both sides

but some feel pell has further crimes to answer for, understand that that cannot happen accusing him of concealing abuse again. this is where the rubber and protecting other abusers. meets the road. this is where some he had a vested interest details need to emerge. i think in covering it up. everybody understands that. and when they picked the dates for the the whole hierarchy summit, ithink they picked the dates for the summit, i think it really became of the catholic church real and negotiations could begin in earnest. there was no more time to aided and abetted paedophile priests and brothers waste. thank you very much for to rape and molest thousands joining us. we will hearfrom you upon thousands of children. throughout the next two days on your pell has always denied ta ke throughout the next two days on your take on this. of course he from covering up abuse. hanol take on this. of course he from hanoi, it is a city we know that is he has already been removed famous for its traffic. well, all of from rome's inner circle, but as a cardinal, that may come to a standstill in he has kept his title. there are calls for the pope just 80 hours as kim jong—un makes to force him to resign his way over here. we are expecting with his own credibility at stake. him to arrive around lunchtime, and the only way that the pope can get president trump arriving tonight. all eyes on this key second summit out of this sort of situation is really to demand, in my view, between the two leaders over the that he step down from next two days. thank you for that. his functions as a cardinal. iran's foreign minister, mohammad javad zarif, for months, there has been has announced he's stepping down. posting the news on his instagram frustration in australia account, he apologised that, until now, the details for "shortcomings" in more of his abuse could not be reported. than five years in the job. cardinal pell, any message reformist mps in iran have urged

president hassan rouhani not for your supporters today? to accept the resignation. caroline rigby reports. news of his conviction will send shock waves across the catholic church, mohammad javad zarif and expose once again its failure has long been the face of iran's international diplomacy, particularly in the west. to deal with a dark a former ambassador history of clerical abuse. to the united nations, our correspondent hywel griffith he became the islamic republic‘s is outside the court in melbourne and gave us the latest details. top diplomat in 2013 when a reformist president hassan rouhani came to power. we learned today that he has already lodged an appeal as an english—speaking, against the conviction, american—educated foreign minister, and so this legal drama he played a decisive role could yet have another chapter. in often complex issues. but what will happen next is that he became one of the architects tomorrow he will need to return of the iran nuclear deal in 2015 to this court, and the sentencing process will begin, and i think and he has spearheaded efforts he will have been told to keep the agreement alive to expect a prison sentence. following president trump's these are very serious decision last year to pull the us out of the accord. sexual assault convictions, and that would, ordinarily, but mr zarif has been under huge in any circumstance, pressure from hardliners at home lead to a prison term. who never liked or trusted his now, that is incredible, negotiations with the west. but we have to bear in mind what the victims‘ emotions and in a surprise announcement are at the moment. on instagram on monday, we've had a statement from one he revealed his intention to resign. of the two surviving victims,

who was a 13—year—old boy as well as thanking the iranian when he was assaulted by george pell. people and authorities, he wrote: he said that he doesn't want to speak to the media, he doesn't want to give up his anonymity, but he has spent years struggling with depression and loneliness, because he trusted someone he should have feared. so, while we've seen a lot at times, there are windows of more centrist rationality, but for the of emotion here outside court, most part, the hardliners prevailed, really, thoughts are now turning to the plight of the victims and their decades of silence and struggle and that is what we are seeing that is finally ending today. today. we are seeing the big read of anticipation is building hardliners over the more centrist ahead of the second summit between president donald trump within the system. and the north korean leader, kim jong—un. the two men will meet on wednesday. president hassan rouhani, who met with his syrian the north korean leader arrived counterpart on monday, here at dong dang station in vietnam just two hours ago. is yet to reveal whether it's about 170 kilometres he will accept the departure from the centre of hanoi. of such a key member of his team. north korea is desperate for an end to sanctions after years of economic penalties. mr zarif did not attend the discussions with president assad. it is unknown whether or not now, let's cross live this played any part to shara njit leyl in his decision to step down. who is in hanoi for us. much more to come for you on bbc news. still to come, billy's feeling for snow — yes, that's right. a rainy, chile the colorado hermit

who's amassed decades of data on a changing climate. hanol yes, that's right. a rainy, chile hanoi, so certainly warm weather is not what is greeting them. as you saw the footage earlier of kim prince charles has chosen his bride. jong—un‘s arrival at the border with the prince proposed to lady diana spencer three weeks ago. she accepted, she says, vietnam's, he was greeted by the red without hesitation. carpet, ceremonial guards, high as revolutions go, this security, accompanied by a key had its fair share of bullets. negotiator and we have also got his a climax in the night outside sister with him. she is also the gates of mr marcos's sanctuary, malacanang — the name itself travelling. what we know is that our symbolizing one of the cruellest regimes of modern asia. correspondence have been out and about in this city in hanoi already at the media centre. north korean flags are being handed out for kim the world's first clone has been produced of an adult mammal. jong—un‘s arrival here. we expect scientists in scotland have produced him to arrive by car. of course he a sheep called dolly using a cell from another sheep. citizens are trying to come to grips got off the train, got into a car. with their new freedom. though there is joy it will take about three hours we and relief today, the scars are everywhere. believe him arrive in hanoi, so we not for 20 years have locusts been seen in such numbers in this part of africa. some of the swarms have expect lunchtime. and all those been ten miles long. north korean flags being given out at the media centre for a warm this is the last time

the public will see this pope. very soon, for the sake greeting it appears for his arrival. of the credibility and authority of the next pope, benedict xvi will, in his own words, "be hidden from the world president trump we know, he arrives tonight from what we know of the for the rest of his life." protocol and logistics, president trump will be meeting with a his this is bbc news, vietnamese counterpart tomorrow. the latest headlines: there will be a dinner between the australian cardinal two lea d e rs there will be a dinner between the two leaders and amongst the people george pell is found guilty we know who are here currently on of child abuse, the most senior the american side, secretary of catholic cleric to be convicted. north korean leader kimjong—un has arrived in vietnam state my comp a0 we believe is for his second summit with president trump. already in hanoi. we know that it the trump administration is slapping has been nine months since the last new sanctions on more venezuelan officials, as the situation there only gets worse. summit between the two leaders. the new measures target governors who're backing president nicolas president trump hailed their maduro. us vice president mike pence announced the move during a visit to colombia, wonderful relationship. —— pompeo. where he met with venezuela's opposition leaderjuan guaido. mr guaido has declared himself he said they fell in love at the the country's interim president. both men are calling first summit in singapore. next a can look back at the project to reap for mr maduro to stand down. of that relationship between those two leaders. they will be met with fire and brian fonseca is the director of the institute for public policy furious. like the world has never at florida international university.

seen. thank you for your time. what do you make of the new sanctions? there rocket man is on a suicide mission seems to be a feeling that the for himself and for his regime. current sanctions are making life much more difficult for the population in general who are already having a hard time. perhaps not hitting officials or the military? absolutely, i think the sanctions will impact the society, but the design of the sections, and these are conference of sanctions, targeting not just these are conference of sanctions, targeting notjust individuals, the individuals that you referenced, who vice—president pens targeted today, but also sectors like the oil sector. —— pence. these are designed to limit the revenue the regime can raise, to seize its assets. it is designed to target the individuals within the regime but certainly to put pressure on the population to continue to apply domestic...”

think that mike bryan, can you still hear me? at the moment your image has frozen and i am not sure we still have committed cash and is. —— communications. i think we have lost brian, we will try to get back to him if we can. the president of the european council says britain's departure in five weeks' time from the european union is likely to be postponed, but the british prime minister theresa may has insisted a delay would not resolve pending issues. mrs may has just returned to london from egypt, where she held talks with some eu leaders at an international summit. she'll update parliament on the latest negotiations on tuesday and has insisted that it is still possible to reach a deal by the 29th march, when the uk is set to leave the eu. and in another significant development brian, sorry, we lost him indications for a moment. how do you see this situation playing out,

while the military still backs president the bureau? well, i think right now you are going to see the international community continuing to put economic pressure through sanctions, as he referenced earlier, at also continue to rally the international community to support putting diplomatic pressure on the mad euro regime. —— maduro. you will see the us called on countries across the western hemisphere and across the western hemisphere and across the western hemisphere and across the world to continue applying pressure. again, this is one instrument in a toolbox of several instruments of power that have been used to apply pressure internationally, to put internationally, to put international pressure on the regime. that includes international pressure in the form of isolation of maduro and further recognising and trying to shift assets. there is also a domestic element to this. the opposition, if it wants to continue to try to effect change and return the country towards democracy, it needs to continue to apply domestic

pressure, sustained domestic pressure. brian, thank you. and in another significant development the british opposition leader jeremy corbyn says his labour party is now prepared to back another referendum to prevent britain exiting the eu without a deal. labour says that if its own conditions for a brexit deal are not accepted, including a comprehensive customs union with the eu, the party would then support a fresh referendum. but as vicki young explains, it's not clear what the terms of the referendum would be. her report does contain some flashing images. for months, the labour leader has been accused of dragging his feet, reluctant to swing behind another brexit referendum, even though that is what many labour party members want. tonight, he has taken a step in that direction. jeremy corbyn‘s allies say he is trying to keep the country together. whilst we have respected the result of the referendum, and we have been trying to make sure that we leave in a sensible way, with this prime minister, it is really very difficult indeed.

and you would campaign to remain, if we got to the point, would you? of course i would campaign to remain, because i do think that's what's best for britain. and jeremy corbyn? and i think — of course, if it was a disastrous tory brexit or remaining, then jeremy would campaign to remain. some, though, suspect this announcement is designed to stem the flow of disgruntled mps from the party. most of those who left last week have been pushing for a so—called people's vote. with brexit day drawing closer, former colleagues think this is the right solution. the country has been divided on brexit, the labour party and the conservatives have been divided on brexit. i think that this plan today starts to bring the labour party together. yes, let's go for a deal, if you want to do that. but let's also have the option to remain. you can only do that if you take this back to the british people, and draw a line under this whole sorry saga. the campaign for a second referendum has attracted thousands to marches across the country, but for mps

representing seats in the midlands, the north of england and parts of wales, there is concern that labour could be accused of betraying the will of millions of people. i have deep reservations about the idea of a second referendum. i think it would be very divisive for our country and for our communities. i think it would have a corrosive impact on the role and sovereignty of parliament. this is a shift in labour policy, but there is still confusion over some of the detail. what, for example, would be the question put in any referendum? and there is huge uncertainty over whether enough mps would back this policy in the house of commons. dozens of labour mps in the past have said they would be reluctant to do so. and one said tonight, this policy was so damaging, it would preventjeremy corbyn from ever becoming prime minister. for months, labour has stuck to a carefully crafted brexit policy. jeremy corbyn outlined his revised plan in a parliamentary meeting with mps, and soon discovered that when you please one group,

you upset another. the trial in germany of a former guard at a nazi death camp has been stopped because of his health problems, probably ending one of the last such prosecutions linked to the holocaust. the court intends to stop the trial followed after a new medical examination. the final decision is inspected in march. the defendant is 95, and first appeared in court in muenster in november, accused of helping murder hundreds of people at a nazi concentration camp during world war ii. he denies the charges. climate change is widely considered the greatest challenge of our age. the consequences of a warming planet could be drastic for generations to come. if scientists are to understand what's happening they need good data and one man in colorado has made it his mission to supply as much as possible. the bbc‘s tim allman explains. every winter, every year, for nearly 50 years now,

billy barr has measured the snow. he lives alone in the rocky mountains, as far away from civilisation as he can get, and he has seen some erratic changes in the climate that surrounds him. february used to be a very cold month and now it has become mild. what i've learned long—term, is just simplified a bit, there is an obvious change in temperature. billy knows this because, to combat boredom, he started writing a weather diary. the 18th, 0k. there were 61 inches of snow on the ground at sunset that day. so the low was actually —15. and now these diaries, decades of them, are proving to be a goldmine to climate scientists. as the temperatures have been getting warmer, the lower elevations

are melting out earlier. so if we want to understand how the world is changing in ways that matter to people all around the world, it's the best data we have. a life alone, but for billy barr, a life not wasted. growing up i wanted to have a wife and kids, and i wasjust so bad at it, so now i have something else that i really like. police have recorded pictures of huge ice chunks flowing over a retaining wall along the niagara river. this dramatic video captures the rapid movement of ice boulders piling onto the roads in near lake erie in ontario. residents found themselves dealing with this ice mass, known as an "ice tsunami" or an "ice shove". these blockades occur when strong winds rapidly push free flowing ice towards the shore resulting in dangerous pile—ups once they make landfall. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @bbcmikeembley.

hello there. on monday, the temperature reached 20.6 celsius in western parts of wales. and today, the temperatures are going to be very similar. basically, the record warmth is going to continue for one more day. and it's all due to this static weather pattern. it's been unusually warm for quite some time, this blocking weather pattern, there's the undulations in the jet stream. there's always winners and losers, of course. and on the warm side of the jet, it was 20 degrees on monday in london. 0n the cold side of the jet, for example, in athens, it was only 7. the average temperatures at this time of the year in london is 10 degrees. the average temperature in athens is 15. and as you can see, over the week ahead, things are going to get a little bit back to normal, if you like. it's going to turn cooler in london and warmer in athens as the jet stream changes. we will look at that in a moment. while it is warm in sunshine in the day, it's cold at night

and into rural parts across the south, temperatures could be down to —3 once again. some mist and fog patches in the valleys to lift in the morning. plenty of sunshine on the way again on tuesday. away from the far north of scotland, where we have a band of cloud. it will feel warm and the sunshine and 19, 20 with western parts of wales and around the london area too. we've still got our blocking area of high pressure close to our shores, that's feeding warmer air around that towards the uk. pushing down colder airfor eastern europe and into the eastern med. wednesday we start to see some changes, more mist and fog around the southern parts of england and wales slowly lifting. a lot more low cloud coming into the south—west approaches through the irish sea into northern ireland in western scotland. sunshine elsewhere, well above average. not as warm as they have been. on thursday, the changes are more significant. because we've got a lot more cloud around on thursday. some weather systems to bring some showery rain. perhaps getting as far north as north—west england or northern ireland. even some bursts of rain in the south—east. brightening up in the south—west later but on the whole, much more cloud in temperatures will be quite a bit lower as well. we saw the position of the jet stream earlier on.

this is how it looks toward the end of the week. a much strongerjet coming right the way across the atlantic. more of a westerly influence. we are losing the warmer air that is coming in from the south, so temperatures are lower, 11 or 12 degrees. more cloud around, a bit of sunshine at times, 00:19:34,137 --> 2147483051:46:31,783 but we're likely to see some rain 2147483051:46:31,783 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 coming in from the west.
