social work and theology and we tried to discuss what can be next steps to help the pope to set up new measures to be more incisive in the life of the local church ok and there is still a lot to do you know my expression for this is this is a generational toss we will not finish within two years or five years we will have to work which means fifteen twenty maybe thirty years. that's geysers but it will survive and they say most of the delegates are. close to it is it this is essential plugs for dying of goodness i don't call them right now they stopped.

seemed wrong. just don't call. me if you get to shape out these days become educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do you sell to them. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be preached. to the right to be close this is what the before the tree of the ball can people get. interested always in the water as it. should.

with a proposed. bill for. last time we. each one of them carrying twenty a few of those of drugs. first of. course. is the very real i mean. this is the this is the me. i like it. i don't know maybe it'll make or. break.

i want to show you something these are the ten cardinals that usually considered the last poll full of the vatican this is the c. nine right it's an advisory board ok and here. we're looking for effect of the congregation of the doctrine in the face among these ten cadging aunts form are accused of having coffee. you know that of course. what you think of it i have no no particular knowledge about any of them. you just said to me that you knew it i know that there are allegations i don't know what what is the background of these cases i am not the man if you want me to be more precise ok george pell. so he's here in australia

a few months ago in front of the australian royal commission on sexual abuses within the church ear recognised knowing sexual abuses from australian driest but did not denounce them to justice so what do you think of him being in this he nine with that story i have been to australia last year i've travelled i have been in the diocese i met with three survivors from the school where our nepad was at that time that the vice director of the school and cannot paddle willing gauge to cooperate with justice and it will operate in the sense of setting up a safeguard in measures in the same way he will this is future but he didn't denounce sexual abuse it's very far and isn't this the night he admitted is it sucking for you or not of course it was shocking you know for him to be in this you nine and not have been denouncing her sexual abuse of minors yeah for sure.

as the school it has always in chile here. documents so and that is has waited five years after the first victim spoke out to take action and to remove the prized father corretja and sire father carriage about has been since proven guilty by the vatican of sexual abuses he's here. still in this he nine. yeah i'm not responsible for the abundance of things what does she think of it i'm not the one who decides on that but what do you think i think today was they as long as i want something that thank you very much it seems then that only the pope has the power to punish these cardinals so why doesn't he take stronger action. maybe because he too faced accusations in his homeland of argentina long before his election. when he was archbishop of buenos aires he

apparently tried to have a pedophile priest acquitted. him when a serious along with god or rather diego maradona the pope is a star his face is everywhere. and yet some refused to share in the sick on a graphical. in the city center we've arranged to meet a group of victims they were abused by priests in the archdiocese appointed serious . they learned pope francis when he was their archbishop. he said this to us all this is. all that it is that we keep. saying.

to me. so that. seems to me to what i was. even moondog got to the mean. that i do listen to what. that it is he lets us know they don't know what it is. it's a free moment on that if they can't. even you know young kid care to know you know i know. he didn't do it but it will only be good if he were to have been there even if you feel you simply want to get the witnesses to know. it. as archbishop of

buenos aires pope francis was seemingly deaf to the distress of these victims. but apparently it's worse in another case concerning other victims some believe he's willfully trying to divert the course of justice that it is the father cross each case the biggest pedophilia scandal in the argentinian church secretary who says our grassy was one of the best known priests in the country very influential and often in the media spotlight doing well with a rather less big head. to run a huge orphanage until some of the children bear launched a complaint against him for sexual abuse in two thousand and nine he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison still today he's behind bars. but the argentinean church did all in its power to have him acquitted. one public eye

a go represented father crosses child victims. a trial spread to refute teen years and opposite him the most renowned attorneys in the land but also the catholic church. see no innocent it almost get it on yourself mean this. up but he said only you get us in the most they don't you know that this will take us all let us see theater miles over what he's going to see at that are going to see him in the open as. that was what a cite is. don't be fooled by the cover which makes you think it's a book this twenty eight hundred page counter inquiry is a confidential internal argentinian church legal text. inside the children argues the falsifications lies deceit and invention even their own sexual orientation is questioned. the conclusion is clear the court's decision was wrong brother drusie had to be acquitted on appeal. one paragraph caught

our eye. this work was commissioned in two thousand and ten by the argentine episcopal conference and notably by its then president cardinal bergoglio now pope francis. so the pope did commission a counter inquiry to try to have a priest who had been sentenced for pedophilia acquitted. kind it said that he was a bergoglio of the future pope actually sent it to the judges with a shrewd sense of timing before father across these various appeal hearings. one of the magistrates received a copy of the counter inquiry agreed to meet us. problems make it a former appeal court judge and former minister of justice is today a high court judge. it's the first time he's spoken openly about the cross the case . he remembers very well the day he found this counter inquiry on his desk with

a senior this is the syrians who visit him as he is they were going through those away and so forth you know in absolute. case in the last. day i know anything. it is in a row now to see what equal that is and that will cost us more thought of selling out those it do you know that you're going to have getting an idea. the other day to us look at what it is he said that said that's what the input is you also heard of places. where many of the in the fields have to defeat the call to suit the man and. not finally useless father crossed the sentence was upheld at both the appeals court and high court. at the center of the counter inquiry commissioned by the pope when he was archbishop of buenos aires he counter boy morphing made victim

a proxy. since the case blew up in the early two thousand it's the first time he's agreed to talk to reporters. he wants to remain anonymous because he's still afraid of reprisals. but soon i mean asio going to tell i mean us if i hear it legal. now nationally custom built on a sort of all of us a show of course us those of us on islands we'll see additional demand. also said us if you want to. but i guess something that's already out in the us already i can't help but i'm a. did that to a bit of the he'll keep can sense the east coast even though i would also have. as i said well known in the us a long it's a little cheap ok see. who's listening on that i want to know they will.

local and it is a single mcgill pull up out of this i think it will go just a little. the pope has never publicly commented on the grassy case. for eight months we tried to get an interview with the holy father dozens of requests all refused. so at the vatican we tried to meet his holiness. he was to hold a public audience on st peter's square. we want to give folks francis a letter with all our questions on his suppose a brawl in the attempt to divert the course of justice in argentina. thousands of people have countered. we'll need

a miracle to get to talk to the pope. few hours later the pope will be on the rod. the third time it passes we shall. do something that. is to give our last. few minutes later. listen. to something that ended up as a good as the i think that i included at tuesday's out in the.

sunday that. and then castle got out phew i intend that the influence of the host d.c. out in. the deal is this to deal and castle garcia. but i. that. despite our quick chat neither pope francis nor any vatican official has ever answered our letter. at the end of this investigation there's one question how can the catholic church retrieve itself from these guilty silences. surge men from a number of countries such as belgium the united states and the netherlands are mobilizing and launching a national inquiry commissions on sexual abuse within the church. all victims are listened to and the spotlight has fallen on the responsibility of the bishops. so

let us pray may the vatican order a worldwide inquiry commission. so that past scars may be healed i may still have faith in the future. when lawmakers manufacture consensus instinctive public will. when the right wing closes and protect themselves. with the financial merry

go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. the real news is really. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offense spearing dramatic development the only relief i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. first. of all those.

don't get all so dodgy ones on the first thanks. to tell you. the first. nearly. eight hundred eighty. two most rigid. drops are some of the sheen you know. well. i was on. with a very. good fortune in the. bruising us general. polygamists .

you know world of big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

at. the. top stories here when are we all friends reunified with their families yes off to the children were taken from russia to iraq by their radicalized parents who went to join islamic state there on the program to speak to their relatives i remember when the film crew arrives and they showed me the footage i could not believe it i could not believe that it was possible that my goes could come back home she doesn't let me go anyway. again outlines plans to create a military force. less than enthusiastic about a possible. for the military.

one year. a british citizen. over. here in moscow welcome to the program. it has been one year since we first reported on a russian speaking children found in an iraqi orphanage following the brutal military operation there against islamic state after the report was we launched a campaign to find a relatives of those children and several people reached out to loss saying that they recognized some of them and this allowed those orphans to reconnect with their families years after their parents left with them to join our correspondent speaks to these families to find out whether they've managed to move on after the tragic

experience. not. so. if. they year ago two small sisters high g.'s and fights were brought back to their grandparents who at the time lost all hope of ever seen them again they say they feel safe here in this house the sisters salute and behave like any other child of their age despite their traumatic experience their playground is now the two rooms upstairs that were once home for their parents their grandfather on of our hasn't changed a thing since they left and now the girls play surrounded by things that once

belonged to that if i'm lucky absolutely while the oldest sister is open and active fight scene is quite close to often seeking the confort of her grandfather. she doesn't let me go anyway she says had dad also left in the morning and never came back in the evening she tells me how the gas station where you work. tells me how the plane has arrived that has been left. on bar often speaks about the day in august twenty seventeen when they discovered their beloved granddaughter source in my life one of them look at us. and who's. in may twenty fifteen both of fund our son secretly left russia to join i so his al distraught took his wife and two young daughters and never revealed his true intentions. that it's actually. about a week after they. i received

a message from my son saying they are in turkey i replied what do you mean in turkey instantly i understood everything and felt terrible this sort of thing happened a lot of the time a lot of young people left some went to join militant groups others went to iraq or syria it's not. often called his father but the last time he got in touch was when the fierce fighting began in moscow a short time after he and his wife were killed in a drone strike leaving her and all alone weeks later they turned up in an orphanage in baghdad scared and traumatized they were among the group of children who could speak russian args he reported from that orphanage the stories and the children were recognized. that's years ago for the if i remember when the film crew arrived and they showed me the footage i could not

i do not question i see reporting from russia's republic of dagestan this is the first in a series of reports on the fate of the children we found at the iraqi orphanage one year ago and throughout the week here on r.t. we will bring you other stories on how they're getting used to life after the trauma they experienced. but it's not just iraq where families of four and i saw fighters have ended up stranded in syria there are still refugee camps housing thousands of wives and children whose fate remains unclear.

i moved i was so afraid of islamic state because they could have executed me if i try to escape so i had no other option but to sustain. my husband was threatening me that if i returned home he would apply me to the muslim religious police i stayed in iraq are a few and i had nothing to do except wait for the kurds. but. if i'm charged i have nothing to be charged for because i have done nothing wrong. and i don't need i would like to see our cases not drag on and i hope that the local authorities will be able to handle all problems concerning our patrick

ration to our home countries. u.s. president donald trump has reiterated his plan to create a military force in space stressing that this new wave of the american military would have both defensive and all fronts of capabilities. this space for space thank you. that's going to be great look so much is happening now in space i mean your great defense i'm not just talking about mars at the moment i'm talking about tremendous defense capability offensive capability it's in space so we're going to do the space force. but don't everyone is entirely enthusiastic about their proposed military space program the pentagon's lukewarm response to the president's plans is just one of a number of signs that there is a disconnect between trump and its military as a tease you get us down off explains. throughout his short political life donald

trump has been taking an unequivocal stand that he is the biggest ally the u.s. military could ever wish for we salute their sacrifice and we salute the flag they fought to protect our great war for the men and women who paid the ultimate price for victory and for freedom. the women of the united states military these are our finest but just over a year into his presidency the commander in chief has been all but drifting further away from his million strong core right now the white house and the pentagon are squabbling over donald trump's initiative to create an additional military branch a space force. the pentagon was unimpressed about this a year ago the pentagon isn't impressed now is the space force gets recruiters

we you know if you're going to require legislation a lot of detail play i mean. we have not yet begun in the past eighteen months the pentagon started through trove of public embarrassment because of their want to be biggest fan for instance this march donald trump casually remark that u.s. troops would be pulling out of syria in the nearest future the bomb shell decision the pentagon was not only unaware of but also disagreed with apparently will become a serial like very soon let the other people take care of it now very soon very soon will come and i've heard rumors people talking about the trial but it's not over when i think the announcement this week changing anything in that sense nothing actually has changed fast forward next month trump says he wants to deploy the national guard on the mexican border well let's just say the pentagon didn't have too much fun when it had to take the rap.
