let's move away from coronavirus for a moment because the former vatican treasurer, cardinal george pellinst his conviction for sexually abusing two choirboys when he was archbishop of melbourne in the 1990s. the 78—year—old cardinal, who was once the vatican's treasurer and one of the pope's most senior aides, said that truth had prevailed. shaimaa khalil reports from sydney. he is the most senior catholic official ever convicted of child sexual abuse. his arrest and subsequent trial rocked the church. now george pell is a free man after seven judges in the country's highest court ruled that a jury was wrong. from the moment allegations were put to him by the police, cardinal pell had always maintained his innocence. what a load of absolutely disgraceful rubbish. completely false. madness. in 2018, a jury found george pell guilty of abusing two choirboys at melbourne's st patrick's cathedral in the late 90s, whilst serving as archbishop. he was convicted of five counts of sexual abuse including rape. after losing an appeal, his lawyers came to australia's high court, arguing that the ve

not cardinal george pell has walked free from prison after australia's high court overturned his convictions for child sex abuse a senior catholic church figure was serving a 6 year jail term but as men taint his innocence the now 78 year old cardinal pell was the highest ranked catholic official worldwide to have been convicted for sex abuse when he was jailed just over a year ago. now for more on this major decision in the long running case against george pell i'm joined now by. joel don't write joel what did the judges have to say about this decision there was so it was a unanimous decision by the 7 high court judges they found that the original jury which it convicted george pell in 2018 had urged because it had not given enough consideration to witnesses who had spoken in support of george pell and his claims of innocence now the lower courts had ignored court the reasonable possibility that the offending had not taken place the high court overturned the conviction and george pell has since been released from prison he served over 400 days behind bars now this is the culmination of a ve

some people have wondered if this indicates that cardinal george pell might get anotherjob back cardinalnother job back and cardinal george pell might get anotherjob back and realm and he was after all something like that third morris dominic most senior person in the vatican. i think that is unlikely because he is 78 years old and he told friends he wants to stay in australia. interestingly the president of the bishops conference in australia, has knowledge that deep divisions that still exist in his country. he said this in a statement today, today's outcome will be welcomed by many but will be devastating for others. there is very little triumph within the church and australia and i think that it church and australia and i think thatitis church and australia and i think that it is most likely that cardinal george pell will see out the rest of his days in australia. though it is worth keeping in mind that because he never had to hand in his right hand, he remains a cardinal and therefore if a papal conclave is called between now and his 80th birthday next year, he could elect the next

and the pope today he did not mention mr pell the cardinal by name but he did talk about the he said he was praying for those who have been for the innocent who have been wrongly persecuted are we reading too much into him when we we hear some analysts saying that he was speaking about the pell case with that comment how did you read. no i mean i think we are as a matter of fact i mean most of the special ice press and people that had been following had been following the trial pretty much where it comes vince that that would be acquitted many people are surprised that he was acquitted so late in the process i mean the sender stude that the recent way that we don't came so late is because it was a trial by jury but that the evidence was actually inconsistent davis against him so i think that the pope piece indeed looking at these looking at the story of this trial and essentially claiming a victory but he's doing it in a way that is trying to be delicate doe proly not delicate enough and he said i represent it with the church ultimately all right our ethics and religion correspo

cardinal george pell is now a freeman.l was leased from prison after the court's unanimous ruling to overturn his conviction. he has maintained his innocence throughout the legal process and cnn's anna koran joins me now from hong kong. anna, of course you've been following this from the very beginning. talk to us about what the legal argument was behind this decision to free cardinal pell. >> reporter: it's a stunning turn of events, rosemary. this drama has dragged out over years. a jury found him guilty. the majority of the appeals court found him guilty yet it got all the way to the high court, the highest court in the land. just 26 days to decide unanim s unanimously that there was reason to doubt the evidence and they could not support a guilty verdict. people certainly stunned back in australia. the feeling was that the cardinal was guilty of crimes but as we hear from the high court there was not enough evidence if you like beyond reasonable doubt. so cardinal pell at the age of 78 having spent 405 days behind bars

the cardinal's lawyers had argued swathes of evidence made it difficult for the crown to prove that pell with that. they said it was not open to the jury to be satisfied there was no reasonable possibility of cardinal pell‘s innocence. we will bring your mind a story as it develops. the latest official figures on those affected by coronavirus across the uk were released a little earlier. they show that in total, 5,373 people have died in hospitalfrom the effects of covid—i9. that's a rise of a39 on sunday's figure. although they do not account for people who have died in the community, or in a care home. as intensive care units in hospitals across the uk come under increasing pressure, including st thomas's where borisjohnson is being treated, we have a rare insight into conditions at one of the biggest facilities in the uk — university college hospital — in central london. this special report is by our medical correspondent fergus walsh and, cameraman adam walker. this used to be a recovery area for patients after surgery. now it is in intensive care unit for covid—i9 patients. a huge p
