attack in northern burkina faso it happened in the region it's the 4th attack on a church and recent weeks. have been active in the region. we're getting reports from northern nigeria an armed group to military convoy killing at least 20 people it happened while the army was trying to relocate refugees from a camp and it's the 2nd attack in the region within a week on monday an isolated group struck a military base killing 9 soldiers. local sources say the attack happened when the military was escorting a group of civilians from the village of. towards the world on saturday morning now the military has not issued a statement regarding this attack and this is not by the way the only attack in recent days a few days ago there were claims by islamic state in west africa province that it had attacked military positions i don't google killing so many soldiers just days after they released a video which they claim to show the execution of soldiers fighting the insurgency in the east nigeria recently both factions of the islamic state in west africa programs that align to the islamic state

philjohnson leads a national church abuse survivors group. bourne, he was abused by more than one member of the clergy. at the time of the review, he offered to give his local diocese information about them. i thought i had hugely relevant information and i was told that this review would not be interviewing anybody, that it was a paper review and would only be a review of records, so i thought it was just fundamentally flawed. so, the review was not interested in talking to people who claimed to have experienced abuse, the people that were the victims and the survivors? well, it certainly wasn't interested in talking to me. here in wells, the bishop helps oversee how the church of england now handles allegations of abuse. why didn't the church want to speak to survivors? i think there was a pastoral concern, that we didn't want to re—traumatise folk, to disturb the people or contact people who may no longer have any contact with the church. i'm very clear that if we had spoken to survivors and victims of abuse, 00:10:45,613 --> 2147483051:42:

the churches law never or should not conflict with the state law so where you have a country requires church officials to report abuse to state authorities that is what the church is committed to but there are many countries around the world where there is no law or obligation to report abuse so what this ruling from pope francis said is is that for the church there must be a disclosure this disclosure of abuse and investigation so the church can't legislate for the staines the church can only deal with what it has control over and that is to ensure that allegations are reported and investigated and the entire catholic church the groupings of bishops around the world and its bishops conferences are supposed to have their own guidelines for investigating abuse now the problem of course is that when those investigations take place they may not be value us not be strong enough and that's why there is a need for independent outside help to investigate these these cases and increasingly we're seeing in in parts of the u.s. and in the u.k. ministry yet a demand that allegations are not inve

so they're boycotting the voluntary work they do in calling for a more liberal forward thinking church they've chosen the motto maria 2.0 maria being the german name for the virgin mary. they're determined to be heard the women of the maria $2.00 movement they want to a new reformed more woman friendly church they've gathered in front of the berlin cathedral to make their demands clear to the male dominated catholic church. we need equal treatment and rights and i think things are going to change the time has come for people to smoothly finally realize that women in the catholic church should home various positions. since last saturday women have been protesting across germany for a more liberal catholic church they wear white shawls and improvised church services white is the color of hope hope that something will change. yes the thought of. the 1st demand is that all these cases of abuse be thoroughly investigated and that the perpetrators be punished and removed from their positions the 2nd demand is that the church change it stunned some sexuality and the 3rd thing is that women mu

strong association being a national church with nationalist nationalist movement that's not find this very comfortable and has actually decided to go the magic road they're sending a choir of children to the events but they will not actually hold mass together with the pope what is on the pope's agenda brigade yeah well mostly i mean the conversation will be about. immigration as we have seen the integration of marginalized communities but it seems that economic justice will also play a significant role he has already been talking about they it's pointing to the fact that he's visiting the country that he's the poorest in the european union in the block. and essentially talking about the plight of people that are sort of suffering under those kind of economic condition at the same time i think that the main sort of backdrop is really the question of a national east or even tyrion bumpy at least some that in different forms just move through the political system and it is not only a day that he called to the principle of the church as a universal east institution but he separately
