a pedophile priest in his diocese wilson said he was disappointed with the verdict and was consulting his lawyers but victims welcomed the verdict. it's very significant day for all victims and their families and. it's a decision that will hopefully and rival the the hypocrisy the display. the abuse pal and trust that the church has displayed and. say that on behalf of all victims because that is a very very significant that i thank you. and a very emotional day for all the victims involved i'm joined now by journalist roger maynard he's following the case for us in sydney good morning to you roger can you

tell us more about this case and what exactly archbishop wilson was convicted of. well basically this case goes back to the mid nineteenth servant is where another priest by the name of james fletcher was accuse of sixty of using a fifteen year old boy about the name a bit of grey it's alleged that craig went to philip wilson now not official but now the artificial that'll lead to turn of up what happened but that wasn't did nothing at all about it he subsequently claimed that is that the conversation was laid up and going on and that really was what much of this case it's been about could he remember this conversation if not why and who is telling the truth roger our special paulson is a leading figure in the australian church what is his top position in the church hierarchy mean for this case well this has enormous ramifications this can

he say it is a decision that really could undermine the little authority of fabric of the church to a certain extent he as you say is a high ranking member of the australian clergy he's charged with concealing child sexual abuse now he's been found guilty and it devil opens the way for other prosecutions of the similar kind of get seen and then there's the church russo accused of a similar nifty turn course today's ruling is very much very much since a legal precedent ok but philip wilson archbishop wilson says he's talking to his lawyers where is he going with the case and what else is he saying about. well he's going on but at the moment he says that he's been suffering from dementia which is only had added to the issues involved in this case but he issued a statement later on this afternoon late this afternoon australian time and saying that he was always it very disappointed at the ruling by the court in newcastle in

new south wales the magistrate said that the fifteen year old boy had no motive to deceive or make up this conversation and that wilson did not go to the police about the allegation of sex abuse because he wanted to protect the church and is reputation well and we have the we don't actually have a penalty or sentence in this case yet the magistrate could sentence him to two years in prison but we await that decision to be made at a later date meanwhile the archbishop is out on bail and why has it taken decades literally decades or since the mid seventy's for all of us to come to light. well this was a time when these little things weren't discussed in the public realm people just didn't want to they might have happened but they were very much swept under the carpet so any lady is that people that have the courage to come out and talk openly

about what happened to them when they were children or teenagers in the church and as a result of that various inquiries were made but at least there's even been a royal commission in australia into all these allegations of sexual assault there's been many people many look priests have been found guilty and sent to prison and the church sent to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to in conversation to the victims over the years it's a major scandal and very much on hidden from public view up until the one nine hundred ninety s. no of course we have because of girl was also being accused of sexual assault roger maynard following this for us and so in iraq thanks very much for bring us up to date on this thank you all south korea's president has arrived in the united states to meet with president trump three weeks before an unprecedented u.s. north korean summit supposed to take place in singapore president moon j.

ns white house visit was originally arranged as a meeting to fine tune a joint strategy for dealing with north korean leader kim jong un instead it has become a crisis session after pyongyang threatened to pull out of the planned summit last week. for the very latest let's bring in jason strother he joins us from the south korean capital seoul jason south korean president mungy n. in washington today what was will he be looking for in his meeting with president trump. well i think president moon is going to be reassuring president trump that north korea is really serious about denuclearizing despite some of the warnings that we heard from john young about a week ago that it won't cave in to pressure from the trump administration to get rid of all its nuclear weapons this is a big deal for president moon he has certainly his popularity public approval here in south korea has been very strong ever since he met kim jong un inside that

a militarized zone last month and it's really his it's really moon's responsibility to get the two leaders to sit down at the table now his national security adviser chillingly young has said that for now we can expect the june twelfth meeting in singapore between presidents trump and ruler kim jong un to go ahead as scheduled ok so that is one important signal that it is going to go ahead but we're getting different signals from both sides for four days now is this summit going to go forward. well we can only hope i mean if it still what little more than two weeks away from now three weeks away so anything can happen between now and then and now of course this week is perhaps a crucial more moment north korea says it's going to demolish its gay three nuclear test site and foreign journalists although no journalists from south korea have

traveled to the north to watch this demolition happen that would be a major concession by north korea although we can't be exactly sure if they're if the north really has any other test sites or not ok jason you've mentioned gave raid now north korea says it as you mentioned is going to be dismantling this nuclear test site this week i want to ask you about that first let's get some background on the site with this report. in a notoriously secretive country this is one of its most secret sites north korea's main nuclear research facility is hidden away in a system of tunnels several hundred meters underground. situated in the north east of the country sixty kilometers from the chinese border the site has been central to kim jong un's nuclear ambitions it's where all of north korea's six new nuclear tests have taken place. the latest one in september last year pyongyang

declared as its first successful test of a hydrogen bomb. a bomb that could be used on an intercontinental missile to carry a nuclear weapon as far as the united states as north korea has threatened in the past the closure of perm yury was announced after the historic meeting between the north's leader kim jong un and south korean president manger in at the end of a trail in which the two pledged to work for the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. north korean state television carried the news saying that all of the tunnels at the site would be collapsed and the entrances blocked it also announced that foreign media would be invited to cover the event. however some analysts have said that the closure of the site doesn't

prove kim jong un really plans to denuclearize and so far north korea has not responded to calls to let independent experts verify the shutdown. skeptics have pointed to the destruction of the young beyond nuclear complex by kim jong un's father ten years ago the cooling tower of the plant was blown up in front of foreign t.v. camera teams invited especially for the occasion. the nuclear activities at the side however continued. jason considering the deceptions of the past we just saw there does pyongyang have other testing sites if kim decides to continue developing nuclear weapons well we just don't know that brian north korea is a very mountainous country and it's very possible that there are other facilities tucked way inside some of these regions there's really no way to know jason strother for us in seoul thanks very much jason for that thank you now

to some of the other stories making the news today iran has dismissed u.s. threats of sanctions calling them funny and ridiculous or in president hassan rouhani was responding to u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh but pale warned iran to expect the strongest sanctions ever if it didn't stop enriching uranium fourteen nations including argentina brazil and canada say they'll be recalling their ambassadors to venezuela to protest what they say was an illegitimate reelection of president nicolas maduro the u.s. has impose new sanctions on the already crisis stricken country caracas caracas says the measures are barbaric well politicians in france and germany are sounding the alarm over the new government being formed in italy they fear the new coalition made up of two populist parties will renee gone italy's commitments on debt and thereby threaten euro zone stability the two parties the far right league

and the anti establishment five star movement have come one step closer to power after nominating a prime minister. this treaty may depict the close relationship between luigi de morrow and moto salvini but they certainly weren't allies during the election campaign now the populous leaders of the far right the and the five star movement have asked president sergio martha rela to approve their new alliance. today we can say we are faced with a historic moment i also say this to our international partners let us begin then you will criticize but at least let us begin first this is perhaps an unexpected government but it has been elected. a new me nobody has anything to fear. we want a government that puts national interests first and foremost as we proposed to italians during our election campaign. we will respect everybody who put italy in

the center. the league from the north and the five star movement from the south spent two weeks hammering out a program it calls for the deportation of half a million asylum seekers costly campaign promises such as tax cuts early retirement and a basic income to be paid for with more debt if. this contract is the heart of the government of change i see many people concerned about the international and european context that they have nothing to fear the contract is the will of the italian people who want change you want to. italy's european partners are alarmed the euro zone's third largest economy is already among the world's most indebted countries but the coalition hopes a political novice to separate conte will ease the concerns of italy's partners the law professor has been proposed as prime minister the two party leaders agreed on the unknown technocrat as

a compromise for the top post now president sergio mata rela has to approve the new coalition's choice. let's bring in our views bad rieger who's covering the story for us from rome good morning bad italian president has the power to reject you set the context how certain is it that he will be confirmed as prime minister. he had a newspaper that he probably got his it on the front page this morning the president has some doubts about the pope his government but he has little choice but confirming. and assigning the toss to. the to form the government because the majority of the popular is in both chambers of the parliament in italy is broad and also the population sixty percent of all italians according to a new poll support the new pope his cover mend might have been a real receive the heads of the presidents of the two chambers of parliament today

this will add a little bit to the italian drama but in the end he has no choice but to say yes ok so just i think conti has a lot of support but but he has the kind of tech or tragic background that contradicts the campaigning message of the populist parties that have chosen to lead the country why have they chosen. and the known law professor from florence with no political experience is the perfect compromise between the two extremes the leak and the five star movement he has the talks now to push through this wishlist if you will this coalition treaty which contains everything that was in the complaint platforms if you can do that that is not clear but he will be. a kind of a puppet on a string for bows. and he was the party leaders who might be in his carbonate ok band to help us out on this could you usually after winning

elections political leaders want to become the prime minister why don't luigi demaio and mattel salvini from the two respective populous parties want that job. but in this case you have two alpha males who had to find a compromise in order to form a coalition and a government luigi the mio and but he was having it both said in the complainant after the election they want to be prime minister but they couldn't because the other one said no i don't want this guy so they had to find a compromise and but they also say it's not about persons it's not it's now about the coalition treaty and they've been pushed through with that agenda regattas who is leading the country and they're now italy's finances is well known that they're in complete shambles some of the highest debt ratings in europe politicians in france and germany are very worried that this new government will be ripping up

italy's commitments to europe on debt is that what's going to happen. but the puppet is sort of promised italy first they don't care about the europeans and they they don't care about even the markets the spread is going up. the markets are very very nervous and also the european central bank has gone that it really is able to establish the whole euro zone but for example said i don't care and don't be afraid it will not be so awful if you think and see what happens it's a very very interesting adventure and experiment ok and bent reader will be telling us more about that experiment as it moves word thanks very much. this is still to come on the show in the business leader playoff bowls ferg and kiel fought for the last open spot of the top flight for one the first leg three one find out

if they could finish the job. first it's over to their hard lections in turkey are approaching fast and the economy is buying a central role for a lot of voters that's right brands a little over a month before the next election turkey's president out of one is trying to draw the image of a country with a strong economy on the first glance is not far off the mark the country's g.d.p. grew by more than seven percent last year however growth is not the only number that accounts for a strong economy other figures count as well and some paints an entirely different picture many young people in turkey can't find a job a sure sign that the boom years are over one in five in that age group is no juggler's the country's economy has taken several hits in recent years one main reason more and more foreign capital is leaving turkey and emerging economy especially dependent on outside investment. those factors have sent the country's

currency the lira tumbling by twelve percent since mid april alone it's lost seventeen percent since the start of the year. to stop the trend and to attract foreign money again the central bank would have to raise interest rates even further it lifted one key rate to thirteen and a half percent in april. president richard tie a bad one recently called interest rates the mother of all evil and pledged to force the central bank into lowering them seen by many as an election bribe to indebted citizens and companies. to ones plan to influence this ostensibly independent institution is only likely to further deter foreign investors the. meaning you job could remain a pipe dream for many for some time to come. growth is actually quite impressive where does it come from. well some

analysts say that economic growth in turkey has been achieved through doping since growth rates have been powered mostly by stimulus measures and cheap credit from abroad and miss out on instead of investing this money in productive sectors in agriculture which is important here in turkey he invested this money in infrastructure projects roads bridges skyscrapers here in istanbul and other capitals and major cities and he is especially fond of a multi-billion dollar project mega projects like stumbles gigantic third airport or a new project called canal istanbul which once it's finished is going to be something like turkey suez canal of course such projects attract a lot of attention but they don't help increase productivity so experts say this growth is not sustainable it's not healthy it doesn't help people to improve their living conditions invest.

well you have to consider how rapidly turkey's economic domestic and foreign foreign policies have changed in the past years just look two years back there was a military coup here in twenty sixteen last year a controversial referendum on extending presidential powers in this year turkey started the military intervention in north and syria and has clashes again and again diplomatic clashes with the us an important trade partner all of this has shaken investor confidence a lot and you also mentioned a miss out on six hundred trick remarks about the high interest rates causing high inflation and he also suggested he would tighten his grip on the economy even more if he gets reelected of course this raises concerns he would compromise the independence of the central bank and that has left many analysts and investors here scratching their heads. for the election. does he want to have

a poll before the economy takes a palpable. indeed that's that's what economists experts here say the economy is one of the main reasons why he called for early elections because he's afraid the economic situation could be even worse next year i talked about this with turkish economist most of us who told me that the economy was once missed out on strong selling point and now it might get him into trouble actually let's listen to what he had to say. the president promised that inflation unemployment will go down but he and his party have been in power for fifteen years now and these problems have not been solved. that's why his promises about the economy are not credible anymore.

and many people i've talked to here on the streets are quite frustrated they say everything got so much more expensive fuel food rents some retired people say they still have to work in order to get by so the big question is now is this frustration going to influence people's decision at the ballot box next month how important this is my last question and briefly if you can how important is the economic situation for this election it's really important we see opposition candidates making their own suggestions how they would improve the economy if they get elected of course it will not influence mr add ones islamic conservative base but the undecided voters might actually switch to another candidate to another party because of this situation because as i said it really frustrates people it's a topic that you will hear here every day on a daily basis it affects people they're not happy at all. thank you

times for snow with football news brian gerhardt a very closely watched game in the bonus legal playoff hole stine keel involved berg in the second leg on monday the wolves had a huge advantage after winning the first leg three one last week so could kill beat the odds and win promotion to the top flight let's take a look at that. it was well sport who struck first issue i give up eunice mali but give up to ricky was offside as keeper kenneth from home rightly pointed out and the video assistant referee agreed. then it was keels turn to put the ball in the net dowbiggin somebody hitting the target but it turned out the play had been blown dead. it stayed scoreless until the seventy fifth minute when the rules finally made it one nil. robin cannot go heading into maximillian own old corner.
