8:09 am
the church has always been a powerful institution but in recent months its foundations have been shaken by six scandal enough the pemba a nun and get accused an influential bishop of repeated rape when officials speak to actually a group of nuns around the victim and held unprecedented public protests. one of those who joined those protests was system. she cried from a home in the district of why not to support the alleged victim. the nun is wary about being filmed public she chooses an empty auditorium to speak in the thirty six years that she's been a nun she's come across many instances of sexual abuse by the clergy. sex abuse in the tests my pre-teen to that now. my to solve this silent a lot of still i hope on the day. go. shared by the
8:10 am
sisters and i don't how do experiences like that prompting me them to me to their own ambition but they're trying and i said trying to sit with them that a lot of mistakes inside the charts but they're not ready to. ready to. wash all of this fault and sort of that they're covering up all this. the catholic church in india has largely stayed silent on the allegations against the bishop who was arrested last year following the protests and then greeley's on bail even during why not officials were really just one priest who did agree sort to downplay the issue but my position is. always he's. brought.
8:11 am
more as are. brought up in the public discussion so i thought. that speaking out against the powerful catholic church and drawing attention to sexual abuse is never easy especially in a conservative state like. none through a day to break the culture of silence faith ridicule isolation and even disability action from the congregations this is. just a block from joining protest sister lucy has written articles criticizing the church silence on sexual abuse she's received warning letters from her congregation ordering her to stop speaking out she's been accused of causing harm to the church and belittling the catholic leadership says it. doesn't like the last anybody can speak freely and frankly of albany to the world if i am abused the saw the now live that can be made to them being a stat that so many are coming to the fact many many are coming.
8:12 am
to that so say that to doc there is not if there is no god we are all of a slave in this case and. despite the warnings the nun has no plans of backing away what i had to do i have to do i must do. i think i stop made like that. says a loose these hope is that the lead to scandal will shine a light on the church speedily and makes a much needed reforms. reporter on this story did have years on your car joins us now for more good morning sania. involved in this case at the center of the allegations is not the name she's not giving interviews what more can you tell us about her. that's right i mean she remains anonymous
8:13 am
she is based in the northern state of one job where the bishop was she is who she's alleged is also based we don't know her identity as you said but i did manage to speak to a cousin the pose of father on the phone and he did tell me that she is really a broken woman that she's going to a lot of emotion and mental trauma quite understandably ok now this none has been getting a lot of solidarity as we've seen especially from within her own order what about more largely how have india's catholics in general been reacting to this case. well india's catholics we have to remember are a tiny minority in this country but that's still about twenty million people and they're growing so india's cody and nuns a hugely important to the catholic church in the with at the time with church attendance in the west to solo and bash is a big shock to them but the scandal i think has really divided the catholic community here on the one hand you have these rare public protests by nuns and
8:14 am
civil society groups ring breaking a long standing cultural silence on the other hand there are many christians in india who feel that they have to stand together now and really close ranks out of fear that the church you know maybe cost in a poor light at a time when religious minorities in india are feeling quite insecure and a hindu nationalist government led by prime minister but it will be so i think the scone political climate the scandalous sparked a lot of i mean it's got its. sunny is the issue of sexual abuse of the church and hopefully the culture of silence you mentioned as well is going to be taken up by a whole a very high profile summit of top bishops in rome this week are in the in catholics expecting them to address specifically this issue. well i think that i thought certainly some boyce's here who will hope that this issue will be taken up at that summit i mean we have to remember that india's siddle model of catholic church as it's known you know may be based here but it really directly on says to the vatican
8:15 am
and i think there is growing pressure now on church authorities to really act given that the victim in this case had already complains to about half a dozen churches machines a year earlier and they had you know austin to maintain a side it's a good thing to take any action briefly if you could hear what about the charges against bishop franco is he scheduled for trial. when we don't have a date put a trial as he has denied all the charges against him he's now out on bail back in his northern. home state with this dioceses in the state of punjab and he was given a hero's welcome when he was released on bail last year by his supporters and that has really caused a lot of public outreach in india so you're full of our force and thanks very much for that song this is the interview news still to come on the show he start on par with the beatles in liverpool well not just yet but coach jurgen klopp has won the hearts of liverpool football fans the former going to sleep good coach and his

team take on bonus leader champions spy on tonight in the champions. but first we have a closer look at how one russian institution is dealing with juvenile offenders located in the euro mountains some twelve hundred kilometers east of moscow is a home for young men with criminal records among them seventeen year old bottom committed to crime at an early age but now he's being given strict training designed to prepare him for life in the russian military you know use your shadow as more of that. wants to be good. he's started his life over now he trains here several times a day completely cut off from the outside world. you know and almost i stole a car and had an accident. that i run off with the police caught me two days
8:17 am
later right now. but it is can point to. that he has been at this facility for juvenile law offenders and serafin russia for two years many of the boys here are similar to him. they struggled on the outside they stole cars they beat people up took drugs some of them even murdered but here they have a disciplined routine. it's lunchtime and five am is on duty is day to day life is defined by order clear rules and discipline. so. he. since. i was a terror outside i was constantly fighting with the boys i've changed completely here. some of the children here are orphans many others are the children of
8:18 am
alcoholics and drug addicts some of their parents are in jail. the general idea here is that boys like five pm should improve their behavior and ideally become soldiers. enough to do it that it will require the same of everybody the bad has to be made like this like it's an envelope that should look perfect like this very tight. this is a boys' school we're preparing them for the army this is not a prison for many boys from sarah from oka do join the army where they are taught to be patriotic servants of the state there's not much emphasis on forming critical citizens who question authority. the children are taught that they should be grateful for a second chance. to
8:19 am
toure's here are convinced that they are doing bad team and other boys like him a favor. i never thought of escaping but they treat as well here. several thousand boys have gone through this facility since it opened in the one nine hundred seventy s. they're mainly from surrounding towns and best car to stand but there are such reeducation facilities all over russia. the boys here are aged between eleven and seventeen. none of them came here voluntarily but for now this has become home. well it is just about a month until now and with british lawmakers unable to pass a divorce deal with the european union there are fears that high tariffs and long
8:20 am
border delays could become a reality as of march twenty ninth politicians are promising to avoid such a scenario but british businesses while they have little faith in that promise a new survey says one third of them are now planning a move to the e.u. to ensure market access. as breck's a day edges ever closer at the face of economic ties between the united kingdom and the rest of the world continues to lie in the balance. the lack of clarity has prompted many u.k. companies to come up with contingency plans some are stockpiling goods in case of a messy transition others are considering moving abroad five recent study of over twelve hundred u.k. business leaders found that sixteen percent of firms are already pressing ahead with relocation plans a further thirteen percent are actively considering doing so the institute of directors which conducted the study has thirty thousand members two thirds of them
8:21 am
export to the e.u. . chief among the concerns of exporting companies is the prospect of overnight terrorists which could come into effect if british lawmakers fail to sign off on a deal with the e.u. . our law and correspondent be good ma spoke with claudia catalans. trade analyst with britain's institute of directors that's the business lobby that conducted that study here's what she had to say that's quite a lot of your members though it's quite a drastic step as well it is quite a just accept and we were quite surprised but i think what it shows is that it's getting to the crunch time now and that is a very frustrated there's been no progress in parliament to for recent weeks members a small medium sized businesses and actually moving to the ease actually quite a drastic measure to take so it just shows that it's getting to the point where they're very frustrated and they want some progress and what about the free trade deal that's come out recently that most of the free trade use of the e.u.
8:22 am
has with other countries are not going to be rolled over and i'm for braggs does that have any consequences to the pressure for your members i think one of the main ways that the government can ensure continuity for business in the u.k. is ensuring that they can roll over these trade agreements by march it is disappointing that there hasn't been too much progress in that regard but the same time two thirds two thirds of our members have said that their priority is that we get it in agreement with the e.u. before we actually start negotiating the free trade deals so what will be your message for your members on behalf of your members through the british government we have been encouraging the government to actually push for the withdrawal agreement in palm it so seventy five percent of our members want the withdrawal agreement ratified for the twenty ninth of march to allow for a transition period and this transition period is very important because it allows for at a private period of time where this can actually transition to the longer term trading arrangements. thank you very much.
