did you ever get the. business news live from berlin pope francis celebrates mass in the united arab emirates it is said to be the largest public show of christianity ever seen on the arabian peninsula and earlier he called on christian and muslim leaders to work together and reject war but his trip is not without controversy. also coming up live in israel opposition leader why don't get a boost after dozens of european countries given their support but nicolas maduro

refuses to budge and accuses the international community of planning with coup and new revelations in the so-called football league says the alleged source behind the largest leak in the history of sports goes public for the first time really pinto discusses his role and his uncertain future following his recent arrest including perhaps. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program it is being billed as the largest show of christian worship ever seen on the arabian peninsula pope francis is celebrating mass in the united arab emirates in the birthplace of islam more than one hundred and thirty thousand people are expected to attend the event in the capital abu dhabi you're looking at live pictures right now now earlier francis met with the eveready leaders and called for an end to what he called the miserable crudeness of

war. and as that mass gets underway we are joined here by our religious affairs correspondent martin gak to just walk us through what exactly is happening right now because i mean this has a men's historical significance doesn't it indeed i mean in two ways first one is course that this is the first pope to visit the area the second thing that is quite interesting is that in an aria were predominantly christian certain not allowed to worship openly the u.a.e. has centrally organized a massive event of public of a public display of religious commitment in one has to human mind that it's not only the local christian community but it's also a vast number i mean most of the people are immigrants coming in from some of these stations south asia so there are many political elements that actually overlap in this and this makes it actually what is his in other words the u.a.e. is becoming more christian in the sense i think that the point is not that it's an

assertive becoming more christian but that he sexually becoming more of multicultural state which in a sense always was i think that probe lead the coming of the pope to being alone to make these people coming to terms with what a multicultural community it's been given that diversity against that backdrop we know that pope francis yesterday he made a joint call with a top muslim cleric for inter religious tolerance on that call do you think it's going to make a difference innovation i mean the scholar in question so actually the director of the president of the university which is most important sunni center for learning in egypt i mean in the world and it's located in egypt and they have known each other for really quite a while. this is i think to a large degree a gestural a just really be sort of mean they look at each other they walk hand in hand and so on and so forth and there is of course is abrasion between the muslim population and its theological scholars are these stickies with christianity nonetheless it is true the disserve the very open expressions in the middle in the middle of the

region. she's probably not very used to that i think that in the sense that just raise actually a very strong and now we know that catholics and in the u.a.e. there is a sense of hope that you know this visit will will boost that tolerance as you're just highlighting there. we have a piece actually illustrating that i'd just like to play it and get your reaction there are. many nationalities united and their faith and joseph cathedral abu dhabi not deemed parish clerk from pakistan german priest and stephen and the many catholic foreign workers living in the united arab emirates all think the pope's visit as a big deal. a momentous occasion and it's probably want life to move from a new office to see him and especially in this part of the world. even the pontiff

visit is a major importance. just as it's the first time the head of the church or even a leader of the church has come to the arabian peninsula that's really historic and that's why there's so much discussion about the visit most of the talk centers around the meetings being held here between christians and muslims in the heart of the islamic world. by his. father for his daughter. the pope's visit also carries a political dimension the emirates a part of a saudi led military alliance deployed in yemen the pope has repeatedly called for peace in the water own country but despite the stormy issue religious dialogue will remain center stage the u.a.e. is keen to show its exemplary when it comes to religious freedom. the united arab emirates is considered the most religiously tolerant country in the gulf region it wants to see as much foreign investment as possible and remain an

attractive destination for foreign workers. the best example of religious tolerance in the u.a.e. is the buddhist temple in dubai. according to buddhists here it's the only one in the entire middle east. buddhists are not always welcome in the islamic world they're seen as infidels and therefore often can't practice their religion in public. as far as the u.a.e. is concerned it's very very tolerant in fact i keep saying all the time that tolerance is the wrong word to use because we are welcome to it in this country which i dished. leadership looks after us very well can do residents agree the iraqi government has approved the construction of an impressive temple and this is what it's expected to look like religion here regardless where it comes from does not have to be practiced in private. many different countries. and i've never come

across where you have almost two hundred different nationalities living harmoniously together with defeat into practice their religion freely and. the pope is visiting the emirates for three days religious tolerance aside the country's track record on political freedom is the darkest side of the story anyone who questions the u.a.e. some felt meant in the human war winds up in prison. and now we have the pope giving the first mass on the arabian peninsula as we are currently witnessing a massive turnout i mean has this been well received generally it has been very well received i mean by the christian community most certainly but at the very same time it's true the u.a.e. has made a very board and has essentially made a very board commitment in making this an open air and sort of very very public event and. it is interesting as a matter of fact that the human war and the question of peace and the question of

integration sort of the center of this conversation. in the position once again i mean he's coming into the u.a.e. and talking about things that as a matter of fact people in the u.s. he would not be allowed to talk about for example the war in yemen and i think that despite all this trip to see some we could have sort of the presence of the pope. in the region i mean which some people read us and endorsement of the position in relation to war it's quite clear that he has chosen to actually become the political voices. i mean the religious voice and the political voice of many people that actually don't have it specifically in relation with the conflict in yemen so i think that this makes it actually very interesting and geopolitically relevant crip. thank you so much there one. for three let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world authorities in paris say that at least seven people have been killed after a fire ripped through an apartment building in the capital's wealthy sixteenth

district around two hundred firefighters are at the scene there looking for other victims as they work to put out the blaze the cause is still unclear. villages in central bosnia are struggling to contain flooding for a second day heavy rain and melting snow prompted by a rapid rise in temperatures have destroyed homes and roads rescue services have built small dams in a bid to halt the floodwaters. a new study warns that two thirds of the glaciers in the himalayas could melt by the year twenty one hundred if global emissions are not reduced scientists say that even if global warming were limited to one point five degrees celsius it third of the glaciers would still disappear the region's glaciers supplied millions of people with water. fenice well as opposition leader one guy doe has thanked a major european countries for endorsing him as the country's legitimate president

but nicolas maduro has told a military rally that he will never surrender. he has accused the e.u. of taking orders from the trump administration who he says is fighting to overthrow him to seal his country's oil meanwhile canada has joined with several latin american nations calling for venezuela's army to back why go and allow aid into the country now voice will travel to washington seeking funds for venezuela's ailing economy. venezuela's power struggle deepened on monday off to several european nations officially recognized opposition leader of one quite go as the country's acting president spain was the first to announce their support germany france the u.k. and several other countries quickly followed suit this gets done with new presidential elections were not called by yesterday. that is why quando i don't know is the

person we expected to initiate an election process as soon as possible he ignored the idea of art in the theater and by put and germany along with several other european countries recognizes him as the legitimate interim president to oversee this task the president. and also because if you don't over pierce up. venezuela's foreign minister is firmly on the duros side. and the americans are making a mistake but it doesn't bother us it doesn't distract us because we know who's making the decisions here. and there are four girls our time and our strength are geared to stopping imperialism. stopping donald trump's governmental from setting foot on sacred but as wayland soil.

maduro insists he will never bow to his opponents he also refuses to let foreign humanitarian aid into the country for fear that aid could be coupled with a military intervention. but as the standoff intensifies life remains desperate for many venezuelans amid the country's bitter economic crisis many forced to rely on food donations to survive and millions of others have fled the country. for more now let's bring in jennifer communal gonzalez a dentist well and journalist from news welcome to you jennifer we know that military support will really be crucial in deciding the power struggle there and it's well where things stand right now with the army and with regard to its resolve to stick by doro. well the needle has not moved yet the top brass are standing by they are sticking with another were oh and you know of the lower ranks we're not sure this is the thing the army is not our block there are

two sides here they're the the top brass that has been basically loyal to this government because it is a part of this government and the lower ranks the barracks who are reportedly not doing so well they're not benefiting as much as that as the top brass and friend reportedly not totally in support of mother but right now we haven't seen any signs unfortunately of any change in that regard meantime you know majority very defiant teens he's lashed out against the west accusing the e.u. of taking orders from washington accusing washington of wanting to carry out a coup. you know what happens if he does not bow now to international pressure because i mean the words that he's using are quite strong. yes and these words are historical language that the government has used this this idea that had that the government be an attack that the. vention anything that is that is a. negative assessment of his government is seen as intervention is seen as as as

an imperialistic attempt to overthrow him but in this case he is worried he's worried definitely and so he's going to ratchet up this language to try to get his supporters to back him and riled up just as the opposition is riling up its supporters as well but it's difficult because the mother could just not do anything and then what and then what happens well and that is what will be tough for the opposition and for its international partners to decide what is the next move when nothing happens with jennifer communal gonzales thank you. now a decision by distant religious leaders has split a tiny town into late last year ukraine's christian orthodox leaders created a new church independent of russia they have received the blessing of the orthodox christianity spiritual head patriarch bartholomew based in istanbul and many villagers they were glad to embrace a fully ukrainian church but not all are ready to cut their three hundred year old

ties with the russian patriarchy correspondent nick connelly sent us this report about the schism in promised. you're praying in the cold. it's not their usual church but these moscow patriarchate supporters say they don't have a choice the decision by the leader of the world's orthodox christians in faraway istanbul to recognize the independent ukraine a church soon he tones in this isolated village. within weeks supporters of the two rival confessions were knocked in a standoff suddenly the village of brown it's a had two priests by the city here the moscow patriarchy and father only of the ukrainian church supporters of the ukrainian church collected signatures soon they had a two thirds majority begin the congregation in favor of joining body and within a matter of days they had the keys to the village church of the forest her arms around her father said he of the moscow patriarchy insists the whole procedure was

raked the villages he says were tricked into signing the petition but that was just the beginning. this is ripping the community apart people have stopped speaking to one another we even have a husband who's threatening to throw his wife out for her religious beliefs they called us anti christs use them and there's a little bit about a fifth of the old congregation have decided to stick with father said he and the moscow patriarchate they've made their way to this rundown cottage on the edge of the village for the first service and what they hope is just a temporary home for their parish feelings are running high. school we had a funeral the other day the people that was split into each side kept to itself so i could never has an agenda i'd end up going to play in a shack. they do look. at the other end of the village the new york prince of the church st john are also preparing for their

first service. inside then you agree. foggo lazy leading craze in ukraine rather than old slavonic ok church language used by the moscow patriarchate was. or thirty year. old he proudly shows the congregation a copy of the official chart issued by patriarch bartholomew in istanbul recognizing the independence of the ukrainian church it's something many here have been waiting for since ukraine gain independence three decades ago some put up a lot of the most is all about the congregation they have decided which church they want to belong to the majority has made its choice i think the others will be back with those very soon. with the one hundred thirty we want to talk to god in ukrainian not in any other language we want to ukraine interesting to ukraine and shut the russians are sending tanks against us now killing our children and

grandchildren here we don't want the russians here no way. we have a ukrainian church a church that's truly independent of russia a country that's attacking us we're not praying for their soldiers anymore father said he refuses to accept that these changes are permanent and is fighting to bring his parishioners back in from the cold. i hope the people will eventually understand what they've done repent and return to the fold of the true church for the moment at least that seems unlikely what began as an argument about bricks and mortar now threatens to turn into a long lasting division in this community. well he once was known in india as the king of good times famous for his lavish lifestyle and now billionaire business tycoon v.j. malya except to return home to face charges of money laundering and fraud this after monday's decision by the u.k.'s home secretary to approve an order for his extradition. this is the man the indian government has been trying to get its hands

a year ago especially low cost operators are facing many headwinds europe's biggest budget airline ryanair recently announced plans to slash spending costs and the twenty nine thousand outlook isn't rosy rising fuel expenses and falling ticket prices could hurt the airlines bottom line. and now to new developments in the so-called football leaks the whistleblowing platform that has revealed some of the murky aspects of the global football business route pinto a major source for the stunning revelations has now gone public for the first time after his recent arrest speaking with the german broadcaster a r.t. have a listen. secret location in budapest it's here in this modest apartment building we're told wants to give his side of the story. on january sixteenth last he was arrested in the hunger area in capital in response to a portuguese arrest warrant on charges of attempted extortion and cyber crimes.

he's under house arrest and wearing an ankle monitor while awaiting a decision on whether he is a whistleblower who legally obtained the documents which could exonerate him or whether he is a cyber criminal. which could lead to extradition. war what matters for me and for football leaks is the documents are authentic i don't care about the origin i'm a whistleblower so i have i have to expose and have to jordan. the real deal and among those documents are details of confidential plans for an elite super league or for president joining frontino helped top european clubs get around the financial fair play rules we've been all too admitted the contacting sports investment company under a false name i'm eating was organized which led to accusations of attempted extortion. i think i was naive if. i did. i mean something

stupid i decided to play with them and basically said that yeah i have some documents. and they wanted i wanted to see their reaction i wanted i wanted to know. how. how valuable were these documents for them i want i wanted to know fought for how far they were ready to go if you really really. faces up to ten years in prison in portugal if convicted. because i'm a target. and i feel the moment. and portuguese still move you know. i can end up that.

i'm aware of. gary in court times until march nineteenth to decide if pm to it will be extradited to his native portugal. a complicated case chris harrington from sports is here to make sense of it for us so first of all cross give us the background because there have been some major revelations over the past year or will football leagues onli in two thousand and fifteen and they started just revealing you know players' salaries i'm speaking of the world of football of course you know and other issues regarding tax evasion or the allegations of tax evasion and so forth most recently the latest revelations or allegations they came for it were more alarming there were rumors that the top clubs in europe were forming a european super competition a super club competition that was supposed to start in twenty twenty one you know also there are a few major clubs in europe were tried to evade the financial fair play laws laid

down by you a for speaking of p.s.g. presented him on a big club in france as well as manchester city you know and they alleged it was president giani if it's you know was involved in the cover up and protect shit of these said clubs so these last but not least the christian or naldo revelations about the alleged rape situation currently being investigated in the united states so a lot of this information has been picked up and investigated by major publications such as to speak go along with a team of investigative journalists all across europe and as i mentioned investigations have commenced so allegations that go really straight to the top as you're highlighting there what do we know about intel and the allegations that he faces. the allegations that he faces that he's facing from the portuguese authorities suspicion of qualified extortion a violation of secrecy and illegally obtaining information he shared over seventy million documents with dish spiegel the german publication as well as other

investigative journalists and that's what we know right now and we have to wait to determine whether or not what he'll be classified as as we heard of the report will he be a whistleblower or a hacker the concern for him is going to be illegally accessing information that's the issue for him i fancy ferris for his life we saw it there in that piece is it really that serious yes i do think it could very well be that serious because he also has been linked to the disclosure of information that resulted in a very popular club in portugal been feet being charged with corruption and ito he's been demonized so to speak in the portuguese media and he's also received death threats on facebook and so forth authorities have told him you need to take those threats serious and as we heard you know a very chilling comment from him himself at the end of the report that he's afraid if he goes to a jail or prison in portugal he will be left there to die and be killed possibly as as he says by very aggressive fans of been speaking so many different dynamics in
