well known keep his music and spend on to keep your sponsors sounds good. video game music starts february twenty fifth on d w. this is deja vu news coming to you line from berlin pope francis outlines new steps to fight the sexual abuse of children in the catholic church the move comes as a summit in rome as harrowing testimony from people whose lives were shattered after being raped and attacked by members of the clergy also coming up. in the

kenyan berlin tells us what it is like to be a lesbian in the country where persecution and patron of homosexuals are driving and how she's filling us hopes on a change in the law. i don't have a will welcome to you i'm a myth that shima people who were raped and attacked by members of the catholic clergy have been addressing a summit at the vatican pope francis called a four day gathering to try and tackle the crisis in golf in the church office speech of new scandals over the past year the pontiff a score for new measures to fight 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 law is taken as a seller pins even broke into tears the wont of the recent cries carried the memory of illicit suffering. but they also carry the memory of our weakness full. but regret alone can change decades of systematic sexual abuse here and hope francis made it clear to the priests that he won't let them off easy he says. but the sensible part 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 the. 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 you 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 priest 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 coming days will

convince church leaders to make the necessary changes. we spoke to robert hertz and who heads an organization helping victims of sex abuse by catholic priests he told us that significant action is 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 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 raise 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 a little bit hoots in talking to deb you from new jersey he is a former priest and as you heard him says is a survivor of sexual abuse by the. turning now to kenya where gay and lesbian activists have anxiously been awaiting for a ruling from the country's high court today on

a petition to decriminalize homosexuality but the court has deferred proceedings until the twenty fourth of may under the current law homo sexual acts can be punished with long jail terms the court said it was postponed in the ruling because it had a heavy caseload i spoke to did obviously melody corrado bar at the courthouse in nairobi just a short while ago and i asked her if that was really the reason for the postponement . it could be the real reason so if the judge has been citing many challenges he has been saying the sheer amount of documents is just too tall he even joked about it being taller than himself he also said that two out of the three judges who are running on this case i currently out of town this could be the court's stalling that's true but it could also really be the share amount of work that they still need to work through but for many activists here this has been a huge disappointment to many of them were hoping for this monumental ruling to take place and i met one of the people for whom repeal one sixty two would really

change everything take a look. just because. if it weren't for marian with her he would have a hard time guessing what she's been through marriot enterprise is a lesbian that is why her stepfather caused her out into the street when she was still a child that is why she was attacked by a group of men as a teenager and infected with hiv. all of. whom of my own. thank you.

just a local. and and i'm so thankful the group who may cause someone ten years later. sued them on a letter. he said. you give me. some christopher has given me strength and pacing prejudiced and unruly that criminalizes marion's 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 discrimination and the threat of violence in their community mission we did. we did. because they're bringing evil on the world god groups of adam and eve not adam and steve

did not accept the idea to contradict and never learn to it that it's our behavior at the creative selves although they are born like that i don't know i see it is i'm not. privy to the most in a teacher he's encountered hasn't broken very spirit. a minute that this guy. who walked. away to cause a lot different in those and make me want to bubble one love. love i don't know what these hold would hold. mary hopes that soon she won't have to be imprisoned for loving women and that one day in kenya she might be able to marry the woman he loves.

so let me ask this so on your report mary is going through a very tough time what is the public perception of the case in kenya is there lot of public debate about the subject. richard there's a lot of public debate especially when it comes to the local media or in big cities like nairobi it is because we have such a large. community here which has been fighting to be classified as equal citizens for years now but then if you look at the rural areas which are still very traditional now very very christian for them there is not that much to be discussed many people there see it as an african the whole concept of same sex intimacy and many don't question a little bit just essentially a left over from the colonial era rather than a truly african law as they call it so what is your view on the chances that the

judges will repeal section one sixty two of the penal code and decriminalize same sex relations when they make a ruling now in may. the chance and sarah fifty fifty. broken to said that they are cautiously optimistic because i have some some precedents in the past year for example where examinations of anal full states of nations have now been forbidden they were used to examine to find out whether on mount a man engaged in anal sex this is now illegal and this has given hope to so many people here and the activists have told me as well as mary that they will really not stop fighting until one day they can really love the people they want to love freely. in nairobi thank you very much. if you bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the bond the
