korean leader kim jong un has arrived in vietnam ahead of his second summit but u.s. president trump will have more on the frenetic preparations and the expectations for this historic meeting. plus a surprise announcement in iran the country's foreign minister mohammad zarif resigns cerise negotiated the twenty fifteen nuclear deal it is unclear why he's decided to leave his post. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us australia's highest ranking catholic cleric cardinal george pell has been convicted of five counts of child sex abuse a court in melbourne found pel guilty of raping a thirteen year old choir boy and molesting another twenty years ago he carried out the attack in

a church effort called the boys drinking communion wine and the verdict was handed down in december but the judge only today lifted the embargo on reporting on the case. know you will meet the. cardinal george pell faced a torrent of abuse as he left his latest court hearing in melbourne so now he's free but victims outside the courts are calling for a tough sentence to the catholics and be told we await c'mon that he be excommunicated from the kids george pell is amongst a freak he has to be child not only home detention none of these pathetic we just we want to seeming child we want to see him for all i even tell. the jury found that tell sexually assaulted two choir boys in a melbourne cathedral in one thousand nine hundred ninety six the unanimous verdict was handed down on december eleventh but due to a suppression order reporting is only now being allowed

a previous trial resulted in a hung jury tell has always denied the charges. and simple. i'm innocent of these charges of the photos the whole idea of sexual abuse is apparent to me. palace on leave from his role as treasurer the third most powerful position in the vatican. he is also australia's most senior catholic cleric. and. pope francis has in the past praised pell for his response to abuse but his conviction is another stain on a church whose leaders are accused of failing to deal with child sexual abuse within their ranks. ok let's go straight to australia now we are joined by correspondent roger maynard who's following the case for us from sydney good morning roger how are australians today reacting to cardinal pell's conviction.

well as you would have seen in that report isn't joel you heard just now that there was a very stormy response to tell when he left court and global earlier on today a lot of people hurling abuse it in calling him a lost and various other attitudes but basically the the the feeling in australia at the moment is one of shock i think and that was in many ways reflected by a by the comments of the president of the australian catholic bishops conference mark courage who's been at that summit meeting in rome for the past few days that meeting of cardinals and bishops he said to show the the verdict would shock many many australians including members of the church and but at the same turn emphasize that the law should take its course and everybody should respect the law and everybody should be treated equally but i think there is a a stunning. view of what's happened to tell particularly in view of the fact that it's two or three months since this verdict was actually handed down in the case of

the jury heard it's known as virgin does in december but because of us of question order and we've only been allowed to report it to fully an hour after minute do we know when there will be sentencing in this case and is cardinal pell likely to go to prison. very much so the pre-sentence hearing will be held tomorrow in melbourne and that's a hearing where both sides will put their case the defense and the prosecution about what the sentence up for should receive but there has already been told that he will be held in custody after the pre-sentencing hearing tomorrow and that he can almost that means you can almost certainly look forward to the custody or sentence given the amount of seeing about this case the moment that sentence could be quite severe in fact he could spend much of the rest of his life behind bars ok now victims' advocates say the conviction of such

a high profile cleric couldn't courage other survivors of abuse to speak out could we now see more charges against australia's pedophile priests and those who aid and abet them well that's always a possibility but remember we have had a full inquiry here over the past few years as you know a royal commission of which many many people come forward with allegations a level that the roman catholic church about the way they were treated in children's homes when they're young and in and subsequently in their dealings with them the at the clergy in the church so a lot of it has been aired already i think we're unlikely to see there's no suggestion the early immediate prosecutions are likely i think probably the george pell prosecution case involving this senior cleric is enough for the movement and whatever happens to hearing well we shall see but it certainly leaves a very tarnished image in the stain on the catholic church roger maynard for us there from sydney thanks very much rob. the north korean leader

kim jong un has arrived in vietnam ahead of his second summit with u.s. president donald trump he stepped off his armored train in the border town of goma dying after traveling for more than two days to china from pyongyang president trump is also on his way to the two day summit in hanoi air force one due to land in just a few hours from now trump and cameras set to begin their meetings on wednesday after celebrating their initial encounter last year as a success the white house will be looking to achieve some concrete results in its efforts to reach an agreement on calming yang's nuclear weapons program. did have your correspondent boss in hard joins us now from annoyed good morning boss the end kim has arrived trumps on his way just how high are expectations right now in how knowing all the streets are lined with people this morning hoping to catch a glimpse of kim jong un as he arrives here in hanoi i have the feeling though that

the general public here vietnam they're more interested in the celebrity aspect of this whole meeting than the actual politics now for the vietnamese leadership of course that's a completely different story. they see this as an opportunity to present their country in the international limelight to boost their reputation and to boost the international status and that's why they're hoping of course for substantial results from this summit which will then in the aftermath be connected with this city of annoy and with vietnam because you have to understand that almost forty five years after the end of the vietnam war the american war as it's called here that's still the first association that many people have when they hear vietnam of course that's not what the vietnamese leadership was they want their cut to be seen as an as an opening economy a successful economy one of the fastest growing economies in southeast asia brian boston could have decided to fly into vietnam instead he made the decision to travel by train now that is

a decision steeped in symbolism isn't it. that's sort of runs in the kim family doesn't it brian both his father and his grandfather were known to have taken long train trips when they went on state visits for example to eastern europe or or to russia now we know of kim's father that he did that because he was afraid of flying apparently that's not the case with kim jong un himself he's flown in the past obviously for example to the last summit with president all trumps in singapore he took a chinese plane because his own plane couldn't cover the distance this time vietnam is not so far he could have flown but he did choose to take the train and that's been that's been covered widely in the media so that it's a big p.r. stunt if you if you will right ok what's what's on kim's agenda today now that he is in hanoi we have no there's no official confirmation of what he's going to do today of originally he was supposed to meet

have a state visit with the vietnamese the other ship before the summit but as so often happens bryan when you travel by train he was late he arrived five and a half hours later at the vietnamese border so that state visit is what we're hearing has been pushed back to after the summit so he's going to stay on after the summit to meet the vietnamese leadership he he was supposed to travel east of here to have a look at an industrial zone maybe even a samsung factory a large samsung factory samsung of course that big south korean conglomerate and maybe even go on to how long bay which is one of the most famous. touristic landmarks here in vietnam now what he's going to do before the summit we're not really sure if there is talks about him having a dinner with president trump tomorrow evening in the run up to the summit but apart from that we'll have to wait and see brian ok we'll have plenty more from boston harvard they're annoyed at this summit as it moves ahead thanks so much for

every aspect of there's not is impacted ok in light of this situation when you just described can you give us an idea of just how important today's donor conference is for the people of yemen. when it is definitely humanitarian aid is definite he is needed in yemen as there are in masses where the next percent of the population is a nice pair of first some kind of a village in yemen go to bed hungry agent on safe water provided by the crumbling water corporations across yemen and they confessed in any of diseases that some of these diseases can be prevented and yet they are deadly in yemen today because the state of their health care system is also very weak so this means that humanitarian aid is crucial for the countries access to humanitarian organizations who preach those most in need and most affected areas is very important. to

free him and the situation is dire and at the center of the world of the worst for the population but we need to also keep in mind that humanitarian assistance alone will not be able to feed millions of families nor provide health care and more to civilians if you haven't this is why the international committee of that i. would like to remind the facts of the conflict and that is supporting them for the need to exert more effort to find. a. solution to the conflict in yemen that has entered its fifth she is now grillo dive from the international committee of the right cross thank you so much for bringing us up to date. well officials in nigeria have started announcing results of the country's presidential election president mohamed do bihari has taken an early
