on g.w. . the but . this is the deputy is coming to you live from berlin pope francis outlines new steps to combat the sexual abuse of children in the catholic church the move comes as a close a summit in cannes hallowing testimony from people whose lives were shattered after being raped and attacked by members of the clergy. also coming off of the program venezuelan president nicolas maduro orders the closure of his country's border would visit his m.p.'s to block the delivery of humanitarian aid which he says is

a cover up for a u.s. invasion plus. the bin strain is on its way to become only the first nation to land a spacecraft on the moon we'll go live to jerusalem to find out why. the be. tolerable welcome to you under toci ma. people who've been raped and attacked by members of the catholic clergy have been addressing a summit on abuse in rome the francis called the four day gathering to try and tackle the crisis in gulf in the church of the state of new scandals over the past year the ponder says call for new measures to combat abuse but survivors according for much mall there will abusers to be expelled from the church people are rightly

to its uncharted territory for the one hundred ninety heads of bishops conferences and religious orders present here. they were summoned to the vatican to publicly address the child abuse crisis within the catholic church it's a meeting marked by shame cardinal lewis take all of the philippines even broke into tears the won't of the recent cries carry the memory of suffering. but they also carry the memory of our week. full. but regret alone can change decades of systematic sexual abuse. and hope francis made it clear to the priests that he won't let them off easy he says. holy people of god looking at us and do not expect from us simple and predictable condemnation

but concrete and effective measures for. survivors when the pope to quickly follow his words with deeds. zero tolerance for any priest that has sexually assaulted a child around the world written in the universal church law because it's not universal church law right now it's not their law pope francis could do it he could do it by monday morning he's the only one that can do it. minor changes to canon law i expect that as an outcome more consequential demands such as making it ever acquirement to report suspected abuse of priests to the police are unlikely to be met but some remain hopeful emphasizing that the status quo is simply not an option . there needs to be conscious concrete changes why wouldn't i be optimistic also do we want an organization that is going to continue to allow the rape of children and

they be where bishops are not held accountable. to lead you to maybe listening to the emotional testimonies from victims in the coming days will convince church leaders to make the necessary changes. we still could have to evolve that hurts and who heads an organization has been victims of sex abuse by catholic priests he told us that significant action was needed to bring about change i was sexually abused as a young man in the religious life but i was also sexually abused by clergy as a child and so it has affected every aspect. my life i am in my forty third year of psychotherapy attempting to recover from the ravages of sexual abuse that lasted from the ages of approximately three to the age of thirty and i was abused not only you know as a child but also as a young man in

a religious order of men and i was propositioned in the seminary when i was preparing to become a priest and so this dysfunctional culture of the catholic church has to be reversed and if pope francis doesn't take significant action to reverse it then the church will continue on its downward spiral are you pope francis siding with victims or are you not you have to make a preferential option for victims and you have to then race the expectations for this summit to say no child in this church will ever be unsafe again and if this summit does not create substantive changes in the way the church operates then the pope probably will be called to resign. and that was rather tillotson talking to de down the film you just see he's a former priest and to be heard he himself is a survivor of sexual abuse by the. turning now to israel which is on its way to

become only the fourth nation to achieve a control ranting on the moon the very chic unmanned spacecraft was going into orbit by a rocket at cape canaveral space station in florida on thursday night it is really the baltic land it is said due to land on the moon after a journey of six point five million kilometers in made a trip to the u.s. russia and china have also landed spacecraft on the moon. now for more on this story let me and i have it mean the studio the strong science desk welcome and from jerusalem we have our correspondent tanya crema tony let me start with you this is an unusual mission why does israel want to go to the moment that as a fourth country. well i mean let me tell you there was probably first of all

a huge sigh of relief that the mission went well for people watching you know overnight. seeing this little spacecraft hits in a right on the falcon x. rocket and then separating making first contact to earth as well it's now also other planets and so this technology is one of the smallest and largest space crowds also one of the cheapest missions and as you said of course it would make is that the first country to make a controlled landing of the moon if all goes well all right as we heard from tanya there's much excitement in israel about this mission and they describe it as a matter of national pride but apparently this mission is largely privately funded how common is that in space travel it seems to become common practice now i mean there have been already big companies like space x. or arianespace that have launched rockets and to space on a regular basis and also this better now this lander has been flying r.

is flying now with if i can one rocket by space x. . the big change in space flight is now that this is the first privately or mostly privately funded lunar mission so far only big space agencies with a good state funding could go there could make it to the moon so this is this is new and this could be a maybe a prototype for private lunar missions for the future kind of journey to you know everything about this mission is highly symbolic even the cargo on the lunar module and what's in there. yeah that's right i mean it. carries a lot of items for example a prayer that you say before you travel the bible also the national anthem but also a description of the team behind the whole project about the spacecraft but also some drawings of children because the scientists spent around here in israel

talking to a lot of schoolkids about the project and we understand that at the first thing actually a spacecraft will do is to take a selfie with the israeli flack on the lunar surface and then sending dr picture back to earth but all of this will stay on the moon maybe for future generations to pick it up again because the space profile come back to earth although a highly symbolically a what other scientific gains this mission the any there's small ones it seems to be that this is smart and once creation of we can we can go to the movie can go to space like more technical demonstration let's say and the centipede compartment is important it's not big i mean it's quite small lender so it doesn't carry in can't carry a lot of big payload so not many scientific instruments but of course if you let it go smooth it wants to take pictures once take videos and a selfie. and then add ones to measure them a kinetic field of the moon that has been done before but they say they want to

have more accurate data but what seems to be more important to the developers is that they want to create something like the apollo effect which was created back then after the polar landings the first landings. so they went to schools they talk to students and they want to promote signs among the new generation and when is the landing expected to take place is expected for april now but it's been a really hopes that they will be the first ones because there's another mission that starts from india soon and they could land before before the israeli mission so it's a big. competition out there it's a new race into space and to the moon i would say yes vishwas sciences thank you very much and tanya kremer i'm sure a lot of excitement there in israel thank you very much for bringing us up to date from jerusalem. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world the

united states says it plans to keep a small unit of around two hundred troops in syria as part of an international stabilizing force in december the trumpet ministration announced that it would pull out or two thousand troops in the region a decision that shock to us allies and military commanders. tens of thousands of people have protests in basra and as part of the region wide strike in catalonia in the early evening they have marched through the city in support of democracy and to protest against the trial of a dozen separatist leaders. demonstrators in bratislava have mocked one since the moment of. a gun. and his fiance was shot dead in favor of two thousand and eighteen shortly before was to publish a report on alleged government corruption the killings and exclusive reports mass protests in the country's prime minister to step down. turning out to

venezuela of a president nicolas maduro has begun sealing his country's borders to block the delivery of humanitarian aid he says aid convoys are a cover for an invasion by foreign troops the move comes as a spouse struggled with the opposition leader one escalates and later today the battle with y. though is set to become a battle of music as groups rival camps concepts at the border with colombia the billionaire businessman richard branson is sponsoring the live aid style show on the colombian side of the front. british billionaire richard branson has big plans for the colombian border town of coke. he says his goal is to raise money for food and medical supplies and ultimately get it across the border to venezuela. meanwhile the everyday struggle for locals goes on many cross the border here

regularly to pick up desperately needed supplies there hoping to see change soon big a player more said he would have we want to be free we want to be able to cross the border we want freedom and the government to fall. it's what we all want i got an election so we can have a new president to get d.n.a. from what don't look at him with everyone obviously and. some however i've lost all hope and they're taking extreme measures describing how it feels to be leaving their country for good. anything. right now i'm sad. this is degrading for a human being they need and about a very degrading with anything and the. president nicolas maduro is also taking extreme measures he sees any attempt to bring in aid as a pretext for military intervention on thursday he closed the country's border with brazil and said he was also considering closing the frontier with colombia.

you know from a complete closure of the border with colombia i'm considering that. if it's best for a man to be prepared it's even better for a nation to be prepared. that could make things tricky for opposition leader and self-proclaimed president quite go he left his home in caracas on thursday to make the i don't recall of a journey to the colombian border. he and thousands of the supporters a promising to bring you insight into the country but he's not yet explained how they plan to do it. meanwhile back at the border just across the river from cuckoo president is organizing his own concert on venezuelan soil. and from will be joined by jennifer coming of gonzales a venezuelan journalist from the news welcome jennifer a kind of battle of the bands the shaping up on venezuela's border with colombia

what does each side hope to achieve with the concepts well each concert has a different goal richard branson's concert is meant to be a drive for to get more aid for venezuela or to get more funds it is an entirely humanitarian operation but it also is loosely tied with the opposition of course it does stand up for the people who voted for that are suffering but for for my duro this is just to show that he can also have a concert that he can rile people up that he also has an international presence that is backing him although of course it looks like there may be more artists on the. site and actually the venezuelan government is not produce any details about who's performing or what is happening so we will find out a century today that nicholas modus government has been preventing aid from entering venezuela they've now shut the border with brazil of war so in fact is that going to have on the humanitarian situation that is. well let's face it the

rule has full control here on whether to let this aid flow or not but it will also come down to the people on the ground the soldiers that are going to patrol this border on both sides in colombia and in brazil and whether they will allow it and that is the play that the opposition is making the opposition is hoping that the people on the ground the humans on the ground will turn and will say now there will think there's some desperation in our country and we have the key here that we can do it but so far it is it's difficult it's difficult because they will also be under pressure to stay loyal to mother were. the one declared himself interim president last month he's received support from some of the army generals several diplomats who support does he really have in the country now well we must say that though has received far more international support than he has domestically domestically the needle has not moved much as of as of now most of these military

the factors that have occurred have been military attaché is a broad and so it's been difficult the top brass is has not moved and the bottom ranks have there's been not a lot of not a lot of movement there either so at the moment we can say that mother has held things in place but this is the key to this weekend tomorrow will be a big test for those lower ranks and so we shall see it's a gamble and it's gamble it's a gamble that the opposition is definitely willing to take but it has been a month so what what is going to happen it's remains unclear but i think there are a can still be hopeful that he will be able to control things going forward to live a different situation jennifer come you know gonzales thank you very much for your assessment thank you. a court in kenya is said to do today on whether to scrap the laws criminalizing homosexuality under the current law homosexual acts

big employers there are many reasons prices have taken a hit over the past year for example channeling cash into the construction sector has become more difficult because of changes in the law planning errors are also a factor too many look sharee in too few affordable apartments were built and then there was the partial insolvency of the major financier ireland fs the chain reaction among india's shadow banking sector was only prevented by government intervention. sharkey's deep the consequences of felt by all those who were planning new projects in the past the real estate developer protests and garvey was able to sell his products in the shell phase he then used the money to finance the completion now it's more difficult to get capital business is getting harder. if you look at because of constructing an apartment complex it's very very very near to the field grade ward those are great fellow so there is not much of
