actions or interference. more reaction coming in on that story all of the time. the archbishop of york is facing calls to resign — days before he takes temporary charge of the church of england — over his handling of a sexual abuse case. a bbc investigation has found that, as bishop of chelmsford, stephen cottrell let priest david tudor remain in post — despite knowing he'd been barred by the church from being alone with children. archbishop cottrell says, he didn't have the legal power to sack the priest until a new claim came forward in 2019, when he was suspended. david tudor didn't respond to our questions. our religion editor aleem macbool reports. in three weeks' time the archbishop of york, stephen cottrell, is due to take temporary charge of the church of england. but we can now reveal a case that raises serious questions about his judgment. and the children... it relates to this man, david tudor, who for ten years was a priest under stephen cottrell, even though since the late 1970s,
4:48 pm
tudor had faced allegations of abuse against children. he abused his position of trust and it's had a huge effect on my life. having that huge secret pulled me away from my parents. i've lived with shame for a0 years. debbie, not her real name, says she was sexually abused by reverend tudor between the ages of 13 and 15. her case, and that of two other girls, went to court in 1988, and he was found guilty of indecent assault and jailed for six months. the convictions were later quashed on technical grounds, but subsequently the church found enough evidence to ban him from being a priest, but only for five years. by the late �*90s, he was back as a vicar on canvey island in essex, and for years moved through the ranks, though the church did say he couldn't be left alone with children. that's where stephen cottrell comes in, made tudor�*s boss in chelmsford in 2010. to share this
4:49 pm
service with you... well, within days of arriving here as bishop, stephen cottrell was told about david tudor�*s past and that he was a priest who was banned from being left alone with children. two years later, he found out that david tudor had paid £10,000 to a woman who'd come forward to say he abused her as a child. but then, not only did david tudor under stephen cottrell remain in post, he was made honorary canon of chelmsford cathedral. archbishop cottrell�*s office says it was a highly unsatisfactory and problematic case, and that it was never open to him to revisit or take disciplinary action against david tudor as there were no live or new complaints that had not already been dealt with. but members of clergy are among thosejoining with tudor�*s victims to call for archbishop cottrell to resign. i think it completely undermines his credibility that this case was not acted on when he knew information at the time.
4:50 pm
how can you have the moral and ethical authority to lead an institution with that? you can't. so, yes, i do think he needs to consider his position. only two months ago, david tudor admitted sexual misconduct and was sacked by the church. but he leaves difficult questions for those who for years allowed him to continue as a priest. aleem maqbool, bbc news. i'm going to take you to mara largo because donald trump having a news conference just taking a number of questions talking about having a very good talk with israel's prime minister but also talking about some of his appointments like his potential appointment to defence pete hesketh. he gave u . defence pete hesketh. he gave u- a defence pete hesketh. he gave up a tremendous _ defence pete hesketh. he gave up a tremendous amount, - defence pete hesketh. he gave up a tremendous amount, it. up a tremendous amount, it would be a tragedy but that is what he loves, he loves the military, that is what his love
4:51 pm
is and he didn't say, i would like to think about it, i would like to think about it, i would like to think about it, i would like to talk to my family, he said not even a contest. he was doing great, they had the number one show on saturday and sunday with will and rachel, that was great chemistry. and this didn't work out for him, it would be actually sort of tragic, yeah. inaudible question yeah, i would. inaudible question yeah, iwould. i inaudible question yeah, i would. i think he was treated pretty unfairly. i haven't seen the gravity of it all but it seems being upgraded in an aeroplane many years ago, i know probably everyone here has been upgraded, they see you are all stars and say i want to upgrade that person from nbc, i'm going to upgrade him and that means you will spend the rest of your life in prison. i don't know, somehow. i would have to see it because i don't know the facts. you know what is very interesting? when he
4:52 pm
essentially went against what was happening with the migrants coming in, he made some pretty strong statements like this is not sustainable. i said, he will be indicted soon and i said it, not as a prediction, a little bit light—heartedly, but i said it. and a few months later, he got indicted. so i would certainly look at it. share would certainly look at it. are ou would certainly look at it. are you planning _ would certainly look at it. are you planning on _ would certainly look at it. are you planning on pulling the troops _ you planning on pulling the troops in _ you planning on pulling the troops in syria? _ you planning on pulling the troops in syria? inte- you planning on pulling the troops in syria?— you planning on pulling the troops in syria? we had 5000 troo -s troops in syria? we had 5000 troops along _ troops in syria? we had 5000 troops along the _ troops in syria? we had 5000 troops along the border- troops in syria? we had 5000 troops along the border and i | troops along the border and i asked a couple of generals, we have an army of 250,000 in syria and you had an army of 400,000, syria and you had an army of a00,000, many more people than that, turkey is a major force, tjy that, turkey is a major force, by the way stop they are major military force and they have not been worn out with war, it hasn't been worn out with all
4:53 pm
of that. erdogan has built a very strong, powerful army. we have 5000 soldiers in between a big army and i asked the general, what do you think of that situation? he said, they will be wiped out immediately and i moved them out because... and i took a lot of heat and do know what happened? nothing. nothing. i saved a lot of lives. now we have 900, they put some back, but 900, if you are talking about neither one of the sites have been essentially wiped out but nobody knows who the other side is but i do! you know who it is? turkey. turkey is the one behind it. he is a very smart quy' behind it. he is a very smart guy, they have wanted it for thousands of years and he got it and those people that went in are controlled by turkey and thatis in are controlled by turkey and that is ok! they know the way to fight. but i don't think i
4:54 pm
want to have our soldiers killed but i don't think that will happen now anyway because the one side's been decimated. are you concerned about more unrest — are you concerned about more unrest in — are you concerned about more unrest in that _ are you concerned about more unrest in that region? - are you concerned about more unrest in that region?- unrest in that region? nobody knows what — unrest in that region? nobody knows what the _ unrest in that region? nobody knows what the final - unrest in that region? nobody knows what the final outcome | knows what the final outcome was not going to be in the region. nobody knows. i believe it is turkey and i believe turkey is very smart, he is a very smart guy and very tough but turkey did an unfriendly takeover without a lot of lives being lost. i can say that assad was a butcher, what he did to children. you remember, i attacked him with the 58 missiles, unbelievable, missiles, unbelievable, missiles coming from ships 700 miles away and every them hit their target. miles away and every them hit theirtarget. but miles away and every them hit their target. but i did that, that was the red line in the sand, obama drew it and then refused to honour what he did. he said if anyone goes across the red line and assad killed many more children after that
4:55 pm
and obama did nothing but i did. i hit him with a lot of missiles. resident xi was sitting here the night he was in that dining room having chocolate cake, the famous chocolate cake, the famous chocolate cake, the famous chocolate cake, and that is when i expend what we were doing as the missiles were shot. and it was amazing, the precision, every one of those missiles hit its target from a long distance away. had president obama drawn the line where it meant something, you wouldn't have even had a rush of air. but in the end, i never understood why russia went there, they weren't getting very much out of it but now their time is taken up with ukraine and we would like to get them to stop on ukraine and ukraine stop also. as you know, when i went to the cathedral, which is fantastic, thejob they have done in france, and they have done in france, and thejob they have done in france, and the job that they have done in france, and thejob that emmanuel
