10:06 am
the pope has the power to punish his 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 to put him. in 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 of 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
10:07 am
was there archbishop. this. is the. room this is. the deep. south. so the polls seem. to want us. not. even move laterally got it then we'll play our tele that ask to listen to what that's the answer to. that but is he lost to us they don't know what it is. it's a pretty low tone that i think. even you know young
10:08 am
kids cared about you know and. the you know that's the only thing i get if you look if you're going to get that 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 for father grassa case the biggest pedophilia scandal in the argentinean church secretary who you know says are grassy was one of the best known priests in the country very influential and often in the media spotlight doing away when i was a big guy. ran a huge orphanage until some of the children there launched a complaint against him for sexual abuse in two thousand and nine he was sentenced
10:09 am
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 crossties child victims. a trial spread over fifteen years and opposite him the most renowned attorneys in the land but also. the catholic church. see no innocent animals in an annual of mean this. up but he said oh no leave it us in the most they don't you know is it this way cuss o.s.c. feet are mad those who are going to see it that are going to see me end up it was sort of what a sight 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
10:10 am
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 rather r.c. 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 i 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. i did said there was a bergoglio 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
10:11 am
a copy of the counter inquiry agreed to meet us. problems my case 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 similarly is this the students who visit him as he is there was no influential way in so if we know enough of them. they know they need to. get ill get d.n.a. oh now to see what equal that is and that will cost us more if i decided not to us it do you know that joe get it out that it's an idea if i was the. good one it was easier that said well that's what the impetus you also did up places. from here on the infield side to defeat the car to suit the man and.
10:12 am
finally useless father grassi sentence was upheld at both the appeals court and high court. at the center of the counter inquiry commission by the pope when he was archbishop of buenos aires is the account of a boy. the main victim of prophecy. since the case blew up in the early two thousand it's the first time he's agreed to talk to a reporter. he wants to remain anonymous because he still afraid of reprisals. but soon i mean i guess if i hear it i hear it. now nationally custom sort of all of a show of course. goes up as an island. also there's a lot of us in the case you want to hold. but i guess something that's all we have
10:13 am
in there was. just you able to hear keep keep can says this to stephen. as i said well in the midst of the long. asian little trip ok see sicko let's see and then i want to know they go. local and there it is as you can make it. out of this. 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 holy. he was to hold a public audience on st peter's square.
10:14 am
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 are now there. will need a miracle to get to talk to the pope. few hours later the pope will be on the rock. the third time he passes we shall. something that. is to give our last.
10:15 am
few minutes later. listen. to something that ended up as old as the i don't think that i included that at tuesday's out in the. sunday that. and then castle got out phew i intend that the line flew into d.c. out in the you. know. the the united states to deal and castle garcia. but i'm. that. despite our quick chat neither pope francis nor any vatican official has ever answered our look. at the end of this investigation there's one question how can the catholic church retrieve itself from these guilty silences. surge men from
10:16 am
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 world wide inquiry commission. so that past scars may be healed i may still have faith in the future.

headline. a conservative activist in the united states is by twitter making tweets targeting whites hosted by a new york times joining. in for one of the most popular most controversial alternative news sides. of spectrum of social media. the u.s. . nuclear deal that's prompting the e.u. to take protective measures for european working with iran on the program we look back at how successful u.s. sanctions have been in the past. also the. opposition figure who's going on hunger strike because he claims his father is being denied life saving.
10:21 am
they do it. they were telling. me they denied a moment they could be. somebody because. of the book even about it but i'm. just talking with a here in moscow this is the international your top stories if i can. change the word white to black can you could find yourself in trouble on twitter that's what one conservative activist in the u.s. confirmed if you try to highlight the platforms alleged double standards on t correspondent elizabeth cohen explains candace she's from turning points usa conservative organization in the usa what she did was she took tweets from new york times journalist sarah job and simply replaced the words white with the words
10:22 am
black or the word jewish the response of twitter was to shut down her account candace owens says that twitter was right to take down her post and ban her for making hateful comments regarding black and jewish people she says however the outrage is that sarah johnson was not banned for making these comments about white people on the surface i actually agree with twitter's assessment i believe that what i said what i tweeted was wrong you should not be able to tweet about any race or any group that you want them canceled that they should live underground i don't know why suddenly people think that white people are excluded from that scenario that people can't be racist towards white people when in fact they often are the problem with the new york times essentially saying shinning her behavior is that they are old that racism actually is ok as long as you pick the the right race this was candice owens first statement to her followers after the ban twitter not only reinstated her account but actually apology. and said that it was
10:23 am
a mistake for her to be banned now immediately there was a firestorm with people pointing to what they see as a double standard by the way as you go cooping sidr tweets i'm replace the wants with blank i'm in tweets of bones the twelve hours double standard every time i see one of these i can't help substitute black for white counter so instead i will never understand the double standard why it's acceptable to so many now the wikipedia page of the new york times journalist is also in question now the page simply describes her as a journalist and has minimal content regarding the controversy surrounding her tweets it appears that there has now been added a small reference to it but these tweets the controversy surrounding them seems to be quite a big issue we could pedia seems to make efforts to minimize that so a lot of debate yet another example of how in the united states when it comes to
10:24 am
issues of race and free speech and americans just don't see eye to eye the new york times issued a statement defending its decision to hire sarah jo they say she just used the same language as online harasses did to respond to the following use of twitter suspension activist kind of owens was confronted on the street by fascist protesters. arens was originally having breakfast with another conservative activist colleague when they were harassed by protesters demonstrators could be seen shouting abuse as they crowded around her the police were quick on the scene. we spoke with investigative journalist dave lindorff who says attempts to ban hate speech appear to have backed violence. and they didn't then one thing it panned another that was is just the substitution of words and they look really stupid for doing it so they
10:25 am
made they made a hash of it and since the trained solve the problem it made it worse they really need to think this through and add high jumping in when there's a screaming match from one side or the other and they'll jump to try to stop it quickly with a stupid decision they need to really sit back think through policy and then operate according to a policy that is rational coherent and consistent and that hardly what they're doing right now it is an international one of the most popular alternative news channels in four wars have seen a major crackdown facebook you tube apple and spotify all lucking info wars accounts and taking down its content interestingly enough along the very same day facebook explains the ban as follows. we have taken you down for glory find
10:26 am
violence and using demonizing language to describe people who are transgender muslims or immigrants which violates our hate speech policies if it was was launched by alex jones in the late ninety's if you tube videos have been watched more than one point six billion times it is comparable to many popular western media outlets on the platform many have deemed him a pedalo of conspiracy theories in a twenty fifteen interview to us channel donald trump praised his work of people on social media have certainly clashed over this but i don't support alex jones or what in for was produces he's not a conservative however banning him in his outlets is wrong it's not just a slippery slope it's a dangerous cliff apple removing alex jones him in for worse isn't some terrible form of censorship against conservatives he said sandy hook wasn't real he's seeing parents from the school he said the holocaust wasn't real his not just a conservative he's
10:27 am
a conspiracy theorist hurts people in four wars as it has been banned by facebook for and specified hate speech regardless of the facts in this case their billets of facebook to censor rival publishers is a global anti trust problem. political commentator believes that a station could prove damaging for social media giants. whether or not you agree with alex jones i would be just the same amount of adamant that i think it's bad policy to ban people no matter what really no matter what i mean in the united states we have a concept of free speech that we love very much it means a lot to us now these are private companies they can do what they want to do i'm not saying they shouldn't be able to do this and i'm certainly not saying that government should regulate whether or not private companies can make decisions like this but i am saying i think it's a bad decision and i think that in the long run it will not pay off for these companies it is it extremely slippery slope i do believe ultimately that probably
10:28 am
some conservative it t. will come up with competitive platforms for the ones that are doing the banning and the censoring and ultimately they will have stiff competition that may even relegate them to relative obscurity because of things like this especially if they remain so one sided. gang warfare took over the streets of chicago this weekend with numerous bystanders caught up in the crossfire twelve people killed sixty six injured including several children police say gangsters in the city you no longer fear the law not even bothering to be too early to flee some crime scenes of course chicago famous as the windy city is now regrettably earning a new reputation for bloodshed.
