d.w. . thank. the book. the be. the best . this is d.j. of the news coming to you nine from berlin pope francis outlines new steps to combat the sexual abuse of children in the catholic church the move comes as a crisis summit in roland garros harrowing testimony from people whose lives were shattered after being raped and attacked by members of the terror g. also coming up. venezuelan president nicolas maduro orders to close the office country's border with visit his aim just to block the delivery of humanitarian aid

which he says is a cover up for a u.s. invasion just. plain staleness on its way to become the only the first nation to land a spacecraft on the moon we go to jerusalem to find out why. the book. called unwelcome a moment that she made good to have a company. people who've been written attacked by members of the catholic clergy have been addressing a summit on abuse in rome both francis called a four day gathering in an attempt to tackle the crisis in gaza in the church after a spate of new scandals the past year the pontiff a score for the new measures to combat abuse but survivors are calling for more they want abusers to be expelled from the church people are rightly it's

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 table of the philippines even broke into tears the wont of the recent cries carry the memory of suffering. but they also carry the memory of our week. full. hundred grand 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 at the center of the holy people of god looking at us and do not expect from us simple and predictable condemnations

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 there 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 every choir meant 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

the where bishops are not held accountable. to lead you to maybe listening to the emotional testimonies from victims in the upcoming days will convince church leaders to make the necessary changes. only this spoke to robert hilts and who heads in allies they should have been victims of sex abuse by catholic priests he told us that significant action was needed to bring about real 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 of 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 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 of 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 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 the things that hits him took him to d w from you jesse he's a full of peace and as you could him set the survival of sixteen abuse by the. let

prejudiced and lore that criminalizes marries very identity. in kenya it's not illegal to be gay but it is against the law to act on it in practice this means that in so many cases like that of mary as you can see i.q. couples have had their relationships repressed by the state and given the widespread disapproval of homosexuality they face constant just criminal and the threat of violence in their community. mission we did. we did. because they're bringing evil on their world. not amongst the. it's not accepted. we can't do that and never learn to that it's our behavior they created selves although they are born like i don't know i see it is i'm not. but google is still a teacher has encountered hasn't broken very spirit. among

though is set to become a battle of music as groups from rival camps concerts of the border with colombia the billionaire businessman richard branson is sponsoring the live aid style show on the colombian side of the frontier. british billionaire richard branson has big plans for the colombian border town of kuta 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 airplane will 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 identity on don't look at him you promised and i don't know what i

see 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. everything. right now and sad. this is degrading for a human being and about a very degrading with anything and the. president nicolas maduro is also taking extreme measures he sees any attempt to bring in i.e. it is 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. 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. 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 his 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 maduro is organizing his own concert on venezuelan soil. and for more we're joined by jennifer camino gonzales a venezuelan journalist from the news welcome jennifer a kind of battle of the bands the shaping up on men as well as 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 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 of venezuela 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 has not produced any details about who's performing are what is happening so we will find out a century today that nicholas will do the us 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 they will think there's some desperation our country and we have the key here that we can do it but so far it is difficult is the fickle because they will also be under pressure to stay loyal to mother or. the one declared himself interim president last month he's received support from some of the army generals and 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 of the top brass is has not moved and the bottom ranks and there's been not a lot of that a lot of movement there either so at the moment we can say that my they were has

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 is to live a different situation jennifer come you know gonzales thank you very much for your assessment thank you you want to do devotees coming up ahead. his first love for the movie find out the story of science and the science behind the company's new mission. but first let me just begin this financial watchdog banned short selling. and service provider why akad the watchdog took the step because of the volatility of the company's stock following reports of

wrongdoing in the financial times and the f.t. has a series of reports alleging strong word of. the company has called the accusations defamatory he was brought in to strike fear into the hearts of the major established banks marcus brown has been head of the financial services group wire card for seventeen years and has overseen rapid growth of the company during his time at the helm. card offer solutions for electronic payments such as online payments and credit cards the company's profits hugely from the rise in online payments and this visa master card pay and pay among its partners over half of its business is in asia mostly in mainland china for years there have been recurring rumors of wrongdoing at work hard saying the firm is mixed up in payments for illegal business such as online gaming sites bond in the united states since the end of january the financial times has run a series of articles making fresh allegations against wire cards payment units in

singapore including accusations of fraud the company's always rejected these accusations nevertheless the share price fell sharply after the financial times reports the stock recovered briefly thank you lapsed again share price volatility like this is extremely unusual for a tax listed company wire car became the plaything of stock market speculators. germany's financial regulator reacted by banning short selling of wire card stock for two months the move is aimed at protecting investors from speculators. until now there's been no confirmation of the fraud allegations state prosecutors are investigating the financial times journalist who wrote the articles containing the accusations the investigation is probing possible market manipulation the fia's the indian city of mumbai has been a boom town property prices on the highest not just in india but in south asia but back in two thousand and seventeen vilest of prices started to four first by five

percent in two thousand and eighteen it was almost seven percent so what happened with the next real estate crisis be made in india has our report from mumbai. the property consultant tejwani has been in the business for a long time it was always said that you couldn't go wrong with real estate in mumbai but now apartments are getting harder to sell for a good price at least. being the best of myself in their lives and also i did this and hold people maybe feeling i myself did in a few properties which i expected would give me. that i would be able to walk away from the market but they wouldn't say that i. did the jay did it in a couple of cases maybe a slave good or that what i had bought and what had invested. the skyline of mumbai one skyscraper after another has been erected in recent years money was plentiful

but the boom is over according to of in one done from the analysis company knight frank real estate industry has gone through a lot of tough times of late and we've seen that in the number in the general feel of the marketplace surprise falls off big time across the board you know all the major cities of india have witnessed a kind of prize fall on an average you know ten to fifteen percent price falls or big and. 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 luxury 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. the shock is deep the consequences of felt by all those who are planning now it's

more difficult to get capital business is getting harder. if you look at because of constructing an apartment complex it's a very very very near to the sale price war heroes are breaking the law so there is not much of a modern left in the business ironically new buildings are actually urgently needed him and by because prices continue to fall by is preferred to wait and see it's a vicious cycle and even the best bargain offer won't help. and not israel which is on its way to become only the fourth nation to achieve a control landing on the moon the better sheets unmanned spacecraft was noised into orbit by of rocket at cape canaveral space station in florida on thursday night and these very dramatic lander is said due to land on the moon after a journey of six point five million kilometers in its april the u.s.

a russia and china have also landed space crafts on the move. now for more on this story let me have that mean the studio the strong science desk welcome and from jerusalem we have a correspondent tanya crema tony let me start with you this is an unusual mission why does israel want to go to the moon and that as a fourth country. well i mean let me tell you there was probably at 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 this well it's not over to around earth of course it has been said this is an historical moment for. a project of national pride but it was really a project on a private initiative of two young israelis who said you want to make this possible

to land on the moon i've been working on this for many years with a big team now and they've been saying you know we want to make it possible we want to so the technology to make it possible to explore the moon and maybe also other planets and to show this technology is one of the smallest and lightest spacecraft also one of the cheapest missions and as you said of course it would make israel the first country to make a controlled landing of the moon if all goes well right as we heard from tanya this 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. arianespace that have launched rockets and to space on a regular basis and also this now this lander has been flying is flying now with an

effect on one rocket by space x. but 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 but the 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 the 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 by 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 their project and we understand that at the first thing

actually a spacecraft will do is to take a selfie with is ready flag on the 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 all very highly symbolically a what other scientific gains of this mission the any there as it seems to be that this is smart amongst 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. 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 go small with it want to take pictures once that 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 polo 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 it's to the moon i would say yes vishwas sciences thank you very much and john you have cream i'm sure a lot of excitement there in israel thank you very much for bringing us up to date from jerusalem. you're watching the news from berlin i'm of the thought she must or greta is up next the topic on the discussion is. the u.s. president on trance announcement of
