with musicians from around the world. every week on t.w. . this is the w. news live from the pope outlined steps to stop the sexual abuse of children in the catholic church pope francis is move comes a summit in the road his testimony from survivors of rape and assault by members of the pledge also on the program as tens of thousands of venezuelans hawksworth charity aid comes up despite the president's claim that his country is not

suffering a humanitarian crisis event aims to raise one hundred million dollars to help people suffering from food and medicine shortages. powerhouse football club chelsea appeals of back again signing players until twenty twenty games which premier league side has been accused of breaching the rules about signing minors. i'm still go welcome to the program. today is day two of the vatican's four day summit aimed at tackling sexual abuse within the catholic church bishops vatican officials experts and cardinals have heard testimony from survivors first about the devastating effects of the abuse that had on their lives many of them suffered in silence others watched as the church they loved covered up reports of sexual abuse

but as you'll hear from a survivor in our next reports that culture could be changing. it's was ten years old when his mother died of cancer it was nine hundred eighty six the boy was sent to a relative a catholic priest in a village and has said the clergyman became his foster father. feeling try to create a comfortable atmosphere sitting on the sofa watching t.v. in the evenings. there were caresses leaning on each other and things at some point the next step kiss were always saying i really do love you a lot. more that was severely sexually abused for years he fled immediately after finishing school and went to university in munich but he soon began to suffer from flashbacks of the trauma he confided in a friend of the family she confronted the priest and forced him to admit his crimes

to the diocese the priest supervisor spoke to moretz and his friend he offered their appeal and put him under pressure. from utah after he informed me that this conversation was never to have taken place he warned me not to take legal steps because he said in his experience when a person a paedophile goes to jail he'll still be a paedophile when he gets out so if it were just a matter of changing a person this would be a fully an appropriate step and of course because he would be stigmatized if he had gone to jail i did not want to ruin this person's life work here would leave the suspension. he could not forget about what happened about ten years later he confronted the church again with the crimes and again the priest kept his job millet's again spoke with his supervisor without success last december mother's turn to the church once again but this time something changed the diocese filed a complaint against the priest for. what changed was the perception and the

listening now they are really. sneering too and i'm not just half heartedly claiming they don't have time for example. doing listening change to that is the bishop of limburg really spent two hours with me and i noticed he seemed affected by the discussion. of a tough night the judiciary also hopes to hold someone accountable not just the perpetrator but also his supervisor there may have been an obstruction of justice the statute of limitations has passed but the church too is investigating the case raising markets its hopes for the abuse summit in rome. i expect this summit to be the beginning of an ongoing process and for it not to be like now that we've talked about it everything is ok what. will continue to fight by telling his story again and again. a day w.'s religious affairs reporter martin gak is in rome has

been speaking with juan carlos a cruise these sexual abuse survivor from chile who addressed the bishops at thursday's opening ceremony. and i see in your opening statement you said you're not here to tell your story again. do you think that the time has come for something else than just selling a story your house hearing to victims absolutely i mean you know i was honored to to be there and open the summit you know with my testimony but my kids money wasn't about me and what happened to me and my abuse what what i told them is you know what sexual abuse does to people you've heard it time and time and time again and you and you i think you understand and you know and if you don't you shouldn't be here but but by what i want to tell them is that you're murdering you should be doctors of the soul you're murdering souls you're murdering faith and

my country was a proud catholic country. they fought against dictatorship they fought against things at the church made us proud proud so eighty something ninety percent of the country was very proud suddenly we speak up and we uncover this horror that's happening and now that it's a seventeen percent of approval of the church that's terrible what do you think is the for itself this thing that gets repeated and it was repeated today again that the recent why the church as an institution it's not willing to give evidence to national authorities as very often because victims don't want this to happen well that happens i mean there is there are survivors that don't want to. be put in the position of talking to judges or to talking to law enforcement for whatever reason and you have to understand the trauma of being abused or raped is it's horrible for

men women whatever the social. pressure and difficulty that that means is horrible so. so it's understandable that some people don't want to talk but there are many who do and i'd say the majority do want to talk so. church authority should be facilitating that and helping them and accompanying them to meet with civil law thora these and help them through the process no matter what happens so last question let's question sexually if you could say i mean if you could imagine what it would be very thing that you would want to see the church do that one thing that would really make the difference i mean it's probably a tall order there given the fact that it's a very large institution but what he says century the christmas the christmas wish so to say my my wish would be that zero tolerance is absolutely in form in forced zero tolerance has to be enforced you abuse a child or

a person or anybody you're out and you're turned into law enforcement you cover up something like that you're out and you're turned into law enforcement as well but you're out of the church that's the door this is always something the church is doing not you not not at all they're not doing it all no one got a cruise thank you very very much and she. reporter now since the end of world war two the united states has maintained a significant military presence on the japanese island of okinawa and it's been a constant source of resentment for locals the last year has seen major protests over plans to relocate the u.s. airbase for ten which is the middle of a growing city to a remote site further north no kobe. opponents say the relocation will destroy marine life on sunday ok now will hold a referendum on the move but its results will not bind the government in tokyo so

will strategic interests to take precedence over grassroots democracy. they refused to stay silent they want the u.s. marines out preferably off the island altogether. these demonstrators oppose the construction of new u.s. bases on a canal with death fences and barbed wire some here have been protesting their whole lives. others like thirty one year old lima talk a moody represent a new generation of activists on the island. some here can still remember the trauma of war those who've grown up in an era of affluence and peace still resent the u.s. presence. that they want more than half the u.s. troops in japan a stationed here the americans have dominated the strategic island since the end of

world war two. they are. almost every job used to depend on the americans almost no one dared say anything against them but now tourism in okinawa is booming and gradually people are starting to believe that something around here needs to change. in the fishing village of had no another at base is under construction. takeoff and landing runways are being built on reclaimed land on what had been a pristine a marine environment. activists have also taken to the sea confronting the coast guard protecting the site but the construction continues despite the protests and the upcoming referendum. on the tiny flotilla is waging its battle against the might of japan and the u.s. . those who breached the barriers are stopped immediately.

so people in the city of geno one it's like living on an aircraft carrier it's where the u.s. maintains the food and base right in the middle of the town right next to a school. u.s. jets carry out maneuvers above the heads of nearly one hundred thousand residents. but tokyo and washington say they'll only close the base if another one is built somewhere else on the island. like many places in arkansas our the fishing village of her is used to living with and from american soldiers they're welcome customers here at the washington restaurant owner to mo to a time that he has filled the menu with american favorites so his patrons can feel at home. he's been waiting years for the base to be relocated to the area.

if the base doesn't get built here to free up the other location then there's nothing you can do about it i personally would welcome it an airport like that could also be used commercially one day that would really help the local economy well that means. the world. once again that's a fight over the islands future this time with words not weapons the names of those who died in the battle of okinawa in one thousand nine hundred forty five they listed here both americans and japanese as a symbol of reconciliation but it seems the us military and okinawa locals are still far from living in peace with each other. that's are some of the other stories making news around the world russian authorities have extended the detention of former u.s. marine. who has been charged with espionage a court denied his request to be released from house arrest and said that he would be held until my mate national security service took mr whalen into custody in late

december. gay rights activists in kenya say that disappointed after the high court delayed a ruling on decriminalizing gay sex sexual acts between same sex couples in the country can be punished by up to fourteen years in prison or. thousands of algerians a rally in the country's capital algiers to protest against the bid by having president abdelaziz to feed flick flick of to win a fifth term in april's presidential polls for the flick as he uses a wheelchair and has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke in twelve thirteen announced this month that he will run for a another term. you're watching d.w. new still to come the italian island of sardinia has turned from sleepy tourist destination. it's this political. closely watched election that jordan the country's tough talk deputy prime minister. the far right policy.

now the standoff between venezuela's a rival leaders is playing out as a battle of the bands groups from opposing political camps of organized rival concerts near a colombian city on the border with venezuela the opposition calls it the verge has begun in front of an audience of tens of thousands is being backed by billionaire richard branson he wants to raise one hundred million dollars for food and medical aid for the country the other event to use facts by. presidents. says the trucks of aid which is keeping out of the country are actually a pretext for u.s. military intervention is closed to venezuela's border with brazil to prevent the delivery at least one civilian has been killed after government troops opened fire . w. correspondent have you are gay gas is in kuta where those concerts are taking place

welcome how they both have been underway for a while what have you seen. well what i've seen here of the colombian flight at least is an atmosphere of the very that is very festive of people celebrating what they think is a new era for venezuela motivational work from the start for to conquer the people here are also very concerned most of those participating here and meet the frontline are the same people who are going to try and bring down a minute here in aid over through the border to going as well tomorrow and they know that they have a very difficult mission ahead one that means that they will have to risk their life so there's a mixed feeling on the one hand the party atmosphere if you will with the latin american read them and on the other hand turn about what could happen next but it will come to watch what happens next in just a moment is that any sign of tension between the two events and indeed that the two political camps oh the camp on the venezuelan side has been very silent so

far and we have not heard any noise coming from the other side of the bridge and from the location where we are we assumed that you would hear the artist being over there so it has been a quite violent conflict. to the colombian side lou martin has been no official condition yet the measure of government so far about this story we are really getting how it is actually moving on the other side so let's talk about this this aid that which is that venezuela's aboard as you talk about some volunteers going tomorrow saturday to pick up the eye of the president has prevented from coming into the country what how is the army likely to respond to the civilians in this way because the president has after all said that the aid will not come in. that's right and that is the most pressing question right now we don't know how the military is going to react to the one and some of them asked for no loyalty to the

president but i'm a little and to their current government but then again they will have to face the future you know of people who are potential you know i'm in need of medicine that won't get that aid because of the military so it's really playing with the public opinion and the favor of the venezuelan people that is the best condition that military personnel will actually accept a humanitarian aid in order not to fall in disgrace with their own people. i guess in kuta thank you. i mean how an island of sardinia goes to the polls on sunday in a closely watched regional election commentators believe the photo will serve as an indicator of the growing popularity and in some ways far right likud party the party is needed deputy prime minister matteo salvini has been campaigning on the island the w.c. last showed sick reports.

looks like we can't bring about reform let's look ahead to next week when we'll be covering the second summit between president donald trump of the united states and north korea's leader kim jong un those talks will be taking place in vietnam preparations are already under white. house big hopes for the meeting thank you joe . a handle a cafe. is busy on his latest collection a series of what he's calling peace portraits the self-proclaimed trump obsessive has painted the american president dozens of times now he's together with north

korea's kim jong un in a message of love. my wish is that after the summit. could have a vietnamese coffee together. and then walk together on a green lawn. i would love to paint that picture of them and give it to them. as a present from vietnam. that would also be a dream come true for the cafe's he's keeping the artwork on full display until after the talks just in case. strong aspiration that u.s. president donald trump. or any peace lovers would come here to enjoy the paintings of trying. we want to convey the message of peace.

might be the technicolor trump and kaleidoscopic kim will inspire some true diplomatic artistry in hanoi. and sport. has been banned from signing new players until the twenty twenty some. after breaching rules about signing minus. twenty nine. incidences are related to the transfer of players under the age of eighteen games that world governing body also find the english football association the club released a statement refusing the charges insisting that they have complied with beef as rules and regulations chelsea plans to appeal the decision. let's get more on this from rob harris he's a football reiser with the associated press news agency joins us from london rob what are chelsea said to have done wrong. well this all relates to the prohibits

and citing international players under the age of eighteen so what chelsea dearie if you today is having plays under the age of eighteen and it's academy when they shouldn't be or they haven't been properly registered in some cases it seems that some players might be nil some trials and not necessarily permanently but enough to cause some concern. and the need to actually impose a ban is as they have done so the chelsea have said that they will appeal if the ban stands are bad they will effect the well as it stands now it covers to transfer window which is the sum of tire pre-season for next season as well as the mid season january transfer window as well thought we won't be able to sign any new players until after next season so we're looking at the summer of twenty twenty so that would be really if it's ward's chelsea's ambitions they knew this was coming

this case be in the works for some time and that's why we saw sign kristie of course h. from brissie it opened in january and me to back to dortmund to get it back in the summer because the fee for banter eventually from bridge street new players but only got somewhat like you meant place but the way these appeals and things go through it could well be that the families do late so they still get a summons to sign players and what does faith or what it what does fifa think that the chelsea did did they looking at this as a as a deliberate act or perhaps a ministry of oversight. well there's at least a small amount of detail so far off from feet we often get more when all the appeals are finalized but in terms of faith we care about the politics around that but all sides are about protecting the welfare of players and they do not want instead be moved around international eight under the age of eighteen unless they meet very particular criteria so your family has to be moving anyway to non focally

reason to that country all you're actually from a country does make as a boarder a close by all those restriction that there is an exemption in europe so if you're between city dates of sixteen and eighteen you can move around the e.u. and the european economic area that's something not be affected by precedence well it seems so actually lowering the clubs and outside sixteen seventeen year olds from across europe they would be able to post brits so we don't have the necessary expense of the breaches but they certainly believe it's serious enough to warrant a hefty fine six hundred thousand euros and transport that and they believe the process is arson or they all keep track probably youngsters going in and out of the academies ok and so once that was. there the f.a.a. has been sanctioned as you say because they haven't been doing their job properly it looks like. yes the f.a.a. from what i gather is certainly going to challenge like chelsea are in search of

peeling sanction breaking the rules optically clear and i think it might come down to just how long you just play a lot maybe on a trial and watch how permanent is that as well as in some cases we are looking at plays you actually went and played for chelsea's youth teams while they shouldn't even be in science that club so is one case over three years ago where that emerged up play it was under the eight age of eighteen and already played for that club on in torquay youth games and yet you only actually cite that later on as an eighteen year old so you know they're not the first but let's you know madrid relative asked all receive transfer bans in recent years for similar breaches so it's certainly something that faith is taking seriously to prevent players being moved around as commodities when they're under the age of eighty and so can your own thank you so much for joining us from paris from the associated press. and with the rugby
