a little girl called cut short one of the catholic church's highest ranking clerics the australian cardinal george pell has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two thirteen year old boys it's a dramatic fall from grace for the former vatican treasurer an advisor to pope francis plus a surprise announcement in iran the country's foreign minister mohammed job at cirith tenders his resignation to reach a negotiated the twenty team nuclear deal it's unclear why he's decided to leave his post or whether his friends and nation will be accepted. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the e.u. has called on india and pakistan to exercise maximum restraint amid a sharp escalation in tension between the two. powers delhi overnight targeted what

it called a terrorist camp inside of pakistan indian media say that up to three hundred people may have been killed in this raid and it is the first time in many years that indian warplanes have crossed what is known as the line of control dividing the contesting kashmir region and pakistan acknowledged that india violated its airspace but denied reports of casualties tensions have been growing since kashmiri separatists killed forty indian soldiers two weeks ago the indian foreign secretary says that delhi acted on credible intelligence that pakistan based militants were plotting more attacks across india in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary in an intelligence led operation in the early hours of today india struck the biggest training camp of the just a moment in balakot in this operation a very large number of gentian

a moment that exists does see the commandos and groups of jihad these who are being treated for free they would eliminate to. and the pakistani foreign minister issued a warning to india not to challenge his country he called india's action and aggression against pakistan any violation of the line of control he said that pakistan reserved the right to an appropriate response in itself to families. of the war on the story i'm joined now by political analyst. in islam about and correspondent. is standing by in delhi and the mission i'd like to begin with you and just get a sense of how significant these strikes are. well it's a lot of the significance of this these tribes had just primarily on the attack that happened in fish feed on february fourteenth less than two weeks ago forty indian security forces lost their lives in the dead attack and ever since then the country

has been waiting and watching the public has been calling for action against pakistan there's been a lot of high-pockets there on board mongering sentiment on the streets and because back when the similar attack happened in twenty sixteen india claimed to have carried out a surgical strike another strike was expected this finally is that moment where india has scouted out a strike came from i found out a strike in pakistan and as we heard the foreign secretary say this was a strike that the a c. is preemptive and that a gesture camp was wiped out now the claimed responsibility for that attack and push me so this is india pushing back this is india asserting that such tedder would not be tolerated in the valley and of course india and pakistan have gone to war at least twice before over the issue of questioning you so this is exactly the kind of posturing that india wants to put forward at this point ok so that's the view from india meantime we have the response from the pakistani foreign minister essentially saying that the country is reserving the right to an appropriate

response in self-defense and it does with that i'd like to turn to you what could we expect from the pakistani side now. well as up now the response from the pakistani side has been very very calculated measured the the prime minister had it at the meeting of the national security council and the foreign minister just spoke with the media a few minutes ago and the consensus emerging from all those meetings there the prime minister's office where the army also participated as being to in gauge with the world with the world propagators diplomatically pakistan reserves the right this said for a retaliation but it would not retaliate and would or would rather focus on diplomatic efforts diplomacy for uprising the word of pakistan's position and the position is that yes there were missions are taken place but as far as the

government is concerned the army operational consent they're denying they're denying the kind of damages that india is claiming from these aerial strikes ok so you think a centrally a measured response here but the nimish i mean the reality is that there have been escalating tensions but tween these two countries just put this into context for us because there is a long history here of course. well i thought it was is the creation of india and pakistan fish meat has been a flashpoint between the cooper two countries as i've mentioned two wars have been fought over box but what a fight over kashmir excuse me but what is truly significant about this particular strike is that india if it did carry out a strike in the location where it says a did crossed the line of control another line of control of the defacto line the drones between india adn the stood bushmeat and pakistan of mr bush me and even back when the last war over happened in one thousand nine hundred ninety and the kargil war indian on forces did not breach the

elo sea however this time they have not only crossed the elysee beyond pakistan but i've been astonished me but they've actually gone into pakistani territory which is what makes this significant back in twenty sixteen when a similar attack on indian security forces led to the loss of nineteen lives all of indian soldiers india also had claimed that had gathered out a surgical strike that in that incident also it had crossed the elysee but it was believed that it was only it only went as far as fox funnel could by this means that this is one of the deepest attacks that india may have got about and of course this is something that is being congratulated here in india but for the action of course is dependent on how exactly pakistan reacts and how india decided stick this forward to and even times perhaps you can weigh in when we talk about this because i mean another. factor perhaps here is that we also have a new prime minister also there in pakistan just talk with us you know about the approach that he is having especially with dealing with this militant group. well i

think pakistan's prime minister as good as the army leadership has been very clear about all these militant groups that they really unwanted that they have to be dealt with but then they also explain that it has its own social political program mentions and business associated with it to or to go in as asians have said have huge number of following it's to religious seventies they're running across the country several hundred and about half a million a young students are studying at those seven it is primarily religious studies so there is a there's a difference between militants terrorists and the students who are the seminal reason it's a good way to difficult proposition paxson is trying after having back in them since two thousand and two it's trying to neutralize the impact of these militant

organizations constrain them in their activities and or push it has been no nor allegations you know from the from india backed in this case this was strange that there was a curious claim of responsibility and india has made that beauty this game as the justification for getting out right these incursions into the some years spreads we want to thank you very much and it has good in islamabad animation guys fall in delhi we appreciate your insight on the vatican has responded to the conviction of cardinal george pell on five counts of child sex abuse describing a landmark judgment as painful news it said that it would now wait for the outcome of the appeals process tell says that he is innocent and will contest the conviction a court in melbourne found that pal was guilty of assaulting two thirteen year old choirboys in the late one nine hundred ninety s. . no you will take it to your other

post 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 court are calling for a tough sentence for the catholics and did poorly a week i'm on that he be excommunicated from the george pell is amongst a freak he has to be child not home detention none of these pathetic we justice we want to seeming child we want to see him for all i help. a jury found that tells 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 pelle has always denied the charges peters and simple. i'm innocent of these charges of the photos the whole

idea of sexual abuse is apparent to me. pal is on leave from his role as treasurer the third most powerful position in the vatican. he is also australia's most senior catholic cleric. 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. so let's get more now on this case from melbourne where we can speak with white house journalists and ali calls she has been following the case closely so now what happens now because you know he's facing a long sentence here but there's also an appeal process. that's right so tomorrow there will be a sentencing hearing and that's where the lawyers will argue over how tough

a sentence should face and then within a couple of days after that we'll get the ruling by the county court judge on how long he's going to go to jail for and he's likely to be imprisoned then and meanwhile the appeal has been logged and that court of appeals still has to decide whether they're actually going to hear the appeal and then on which grounds they would allow it to go ahead. and if successful then he could face facing retrial and it's interesting because the. sorry for interrupting you there it's interesting because you know this guilty verdict it was actually had to down back in december but you know because media coverage of the case was subject to a news embargo and we're only just starting about it now why did the judge issued that order. yes so we were all subject to suppression order because there was some other charges that health based and that was going to go going to go into a second trial and so the court didn't want the jury in the second trial to be

prejudiced by the outcome of the first trial and so that's why they banned all coverage of the first trial and of the verdict in order to protect the jury in the second trial but however today the office of the public prosecutor dropped the charges in the second trial. they. were. the first. now we have i mean if you just look at generally what has been done here and this is a senior church leader being tried in a court of law this is not church justice here is this being seen as setting a precedent. in terms of president i mean i'm sure it will encourage other abuse survivors to try and bring charges and to pursue justice. but i mean this is just been such a huge case because of just because of who cardinal pell is you know he is the most

senior catholic in australia and you know he used to be a close advisor to the pope and the church here is just been absolutely rattled to its core because this is this is he has been the face of the catholic church here and i think a lot of abuse dividers also see this outcome in this trial as as. sort of justice for all the people who haven't actually pursued other priests and people who feel like hell didn't do enough to clamp down on abuse in the church so nobly paul reuters journalists joining us from melbourne thank you. thanks. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world the u.k.'s biggest opposition party says it is prepared to call for a second referendum on bracks it labor says that it will push for another public vote if parliament rejects its alternative plan for leaving the european union in

a balance this week. u.s. vice president mike pence and venezuela's opposition leader one have agreed on a strategy to increase pressure on president nicolas maduro. they met at a summit of regional leaders in colombia as follows deadly clashes between why dose supporters and venezuelan security forces on the poorest of colombia and brazil. and the un is appealing for four point two billion dollars of funding for yemen which it describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis the organization says that twenty million people lack stable food supplies after four years of war it comes as an international donor conference opens in geneva switzerland. north korean leader kim jong un has arrived in vietnam ahead of a second summit with u.s. president donald trump kim is due to begin his meetings with trump on wednesday the

two leaders are set to discuss how to implement a promise by pianka to give up its nuclear weapons security has been massively increased in the vietnamese capital one noyo in preparation for the counter. needed new correspondent john hartigan joins me now from hanoi so bastion he came has arrived just heard trump is on his way what are the expectations for this summit now. well on the one hand people here sara they're excited that this summit is taking place here in their city that this huge event that draws so much international attention the vietnamese government of course they see this as an opportunity to present the country to the world in a positive way to boost the countries to boost the country's reputation internationally and if you look around the city here they've put up huge posters everywhere with white doves on them portraying peace and they're saying

a noise city of peace so you can tell that the vietnamese government they're really hoping for substantial results in this summit that substantial results that will then forever be connected so they hope with hanoi and with vietnam sarah and you know if we look at vietnam itself it's really been seen as a strong economy their strong economic growth it's a hopped up as a model for north korea to emulate isn't it. absolutely vietnam has managed to evolve from a war stricken impoverished country to a vibrant economy to one of the fastest growing economies in all of asia another way that if done that is by implementing rigorous economic reforms and opening up to the world economically at least enough spoken to local entrepreneurs here in the course of the past few days and foreigners who run companies here and they're saying it's a great place to invest it's a great place to do business now at the same time vietnam has managed very well to

keep a lid on calls for political reform by threatening and by jailing dissidents cracking down on political dissent and on calls for political participation i think that's what north korea is interested in how do you open up economically because kids are going to said he wants to and he needs to develop his country economically without making yourself and without making the political system in the regime vulnerable to calls for political reform sarah boston heartache and one noise thank you. in an unexpected move the ron's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif has tendered his resignation he made the announcement on social media offering an apology for what he called his shortcomings it's still unclear if president hassan rouhani has accepted his wish to stand down a number of prominent members of parliament have called on zarif to withdraw the offer serif negotiated iran's twenty fifteen nuclear deal with world powers. a modern take on resigning but more homage of odd saudis instagram posts was vague

he offered an apology for all the shortcomings and flaws but gave no reason for his departure all of this was written on a drawing of fatima the prophet muhammad's daughter whose birth was being commemorated on monday. in tehran a foreign ministry spokesperson quickly confirmed the news but also gave no reason it's an abrupt end to more than five and a half years as a rainy and foreign minister zarif had a prominent role in negotiating the landmark two thousand and fifteen nuclear agreement between iran and major international powers in exchange for limiting nuclear activities to run economic sanctions lifted but seventy five has been under pressure since the united states withdrew from the pact he expressed his frustration at washington at the munich security conference earlier this month. we have long been the target of an unhealthy fixation.

let's say an obsession. which continues to this very day. the demonisation of my country has been a convenient cross for seven consecutive american presidents. saudis resignation could play into the hands of hard liners in iran they have been growing more vocal about their anger towards the country's moderate president hassan rouhani for the weakening state of the iranian economy mohammad javad zarif has been one of rouhani is main allies his departure could weaken the president's position. and let's get more now i am joined by iran based political analyst about to buy he is the c.e.o. of the center for applied research in partnership with the orient welcome to you and i'd like to begin by asking you what do you think is behind this resignation. it has been quite open in the media here in tehran that it had

a lot to do with the meeting of the syrian president bashar al assad yesterday and that the foreign ministry and more importantly the foreign minister was not included in that meeting. there is a lot of debate about why that is and it is yet to be to be seen whether it was a mistake whether there was a lack of coordination whether it was she was deliberately sidelined by president rouhani or what was really behind it but that has been. the key element here but you know if we look at the political side of things i mean it's very few see seen as as a moderate relatively speaking does this resignation do you think it now weakens the position of the also moderate president rouhani now. in general we have to say that the situation in iran not only internally but primarily in international politics has certainly weakened the the moderate direction this country wanted to

take that has this has to do with the frustration of where the nuclear deal has been going and that this moderates political current which was led by rouhani and the fs certainly is under tremendous pressure and the resignation if it is accepted if it goes through is certainly weakening this political group in iran so if you had to just you know perhaps make a projection here where do you see the political current now going because i mean we have the u.s. upholding sanctions on tehran. do you think that we could potentially see now a new hawkish foreign minister with a tougher anti american posture coming in here. i mean in your report we just saw speaking at the munich munich security conference he had he held quite hawkish positions on the u.s. so in fact even with moderate figures like has undergone he and john what's. the political sentiments here in tehran are such that you can no longer afford soli

banking on outreach with the west and particularly with the u.s. there has to be a harsher retro rhetoric position and regardless of whether he stays or is replaced by someone else we have to expect more harsher rhetoric towards the u.s. for short i've had to battle by joining us with the very latest on the situation there in iran thank you so much. well now can't mention is one of germany's most sought after illustrators her pictures are in magazines newspapers comic books and novels she's also the favorite illustrator of the bestselling japanese offer a rookie more a comic we met up with her in her studio in berlin. welcome to the world of kept mentioning where the prize where the literature crime thrillers cookbooks all gardening books her distinctive illustrations turn them all into works of art. with author tillman schleck elves and men she put
