one is looking to attack the jewish community today the main day in which the jewish community congregates itself in its house of prayer i mean these are the high holy days new year for the day of atonement and that of course means is a group that is sort of more in these conditions of course a lot more a lot more exposed very same time. that we had been given up to seem to indicate that. actually the target is something that i think it's quite important to sort of keep judgment until we get more concrete information about. what does it signify how important is it. being new year and being the day of atonement are. very proximate to each other about a week and they are considered to be the very of the jewish calendar this is a time of basically a time of reflection jews around the world. during this day. broken at the end of the day in a family dinner during that period of. people mostly spend it in the scene. so during these 20. 5 different religious services that essentially keep people in the synagogue surrounding this unusual. you know you would find people congregated in prayers as i

you surely can a nswer your congregation? you surely can answer that very well.ll. it is in a way easier for me to a nswer it is in a way easier for me to answer that because i've been married for 27 years, as i say, as an anglican priest rather than a roman catholic priest. it has been something that has hugely enhanced and supported my ministry. obviously, i understand the calling to celibacy and the importance of that calling as well. again, i recognise the tension but i would say that being a married priest within anglicanism has hugely enhanced my ministry. we must of course stress that there are plenty of women who are roman catholics in the amazon region of latin america. what might their role will be in future where there is a lack of clergy? i have been looking at this fascinating document that goes with the synod, new parts for the church and an integral economy. it is a fascinating document from which we can all learn. one of the thing that is stressed is the role of the laity in ministry and in witness. within anglicanism, i am extremely supportive of

the old town here in prague where many inca fa ns town here in prague where many inca fans had congregatedgh the afternoon. when we were there, the situation seemed loud but it seemed pretty peaceful. the czech police seem to be restrained. at some point they became more forceful and that did read to some arrests. joe wilson reporting from prague. away from football now, briton pots are for time of the pick champion mo farah has tonight spoken for the first time since his former coach alberto salazar was banned by the us anti—doping agency. today nike announced it is shutting down the oregon project, its athletics training programme founded by salazar and veteran camp was used for six years by mo farah who is not accused of any wrongdoing. he is currently in the us to defend his chicago marathon title and earlier reacted angrily when questioned about salazar. there is a clear change this, i've seen this many times. i've seen it with raheem sterling, with lewis hamilton, as a sacrament there is no allegation against me, i have not done anything wrong. this allegation is about was be clear h

thousands had congregated in the counseling capital during the day many more had been marching on the city for the past 3 days outraged over harsh prison sentences for separatist leaders i put it we have political prisoners here in europe but that's inexcusable we have to protest against it. and don't even think that we're demanding our rights and especially our independence we demand democracy or love it will get us you know. the protests remained peaceful until some demonstrators begun pelting the police of course as with eggs some say the police are to blame for the escalation. yes but that if the police provoke us we have to respond we have a right to protest in every event is that a wish that. spain's prime minister condemns the under arrest. you know you think i'm in order to not have no one should think that the vandalism and the violence in catalonia will go unpunished and i want to do this the capital the catalonian regional president also condemned the violence while at the same time backing the protesters demands she. spent all of us sentenced to 100 years for staging a ref

hundreds of who have congregated this afternoon to protest in favor of. both maintaining the current administration and not calling early elections or. not refusing to deal with those demonstrators who are calling for the for the fall of president living with it all right so that's one facet than all the demands from the protesters but tell us pool about exactly what the protest is calling for. well the basic the basic protest is in fact desire to roll back to this and to the subsidies richest. subsidy to gasoline control or diesel fuel prices of diesel more than double it's very cheap. as president cheney achieved through it for the european process but nonetheless it is a surprise for people who relied on diesel fuel for 'd transporting our cultural goods in pickup trucks or people who are afraid they won't be able to afford the higher prices for 'd for 'd a bus tickets so that's the main concern is really is really how to get by for if you are if you're from a remote rural community with very little access to cash so that's the root cause of the tensio

even the super liberal congregations don't talk about it and i've written about this many years ago irote an articlee about how sexual violence persists in the church because people will go to their alministers who are not trainedr are not mandatory reporters and will just be like okay we will just go with it from here instead of getting people help and that perpetuates the cyclesd of violence. and assaults and gaslighting. it is such a huge problem and it makes me very upset and i don't know what the answer is because literally any time there is some movement anyrd time they write a story like they had a sex scandal and maybe this will change everything but you never hear anything about it ever again and it gets so swept up and i think this is the problem of power and privilege. from everyone not even their own structures and assist less than 1% less than 1% are women deciding what's best in its actively engaging so yes thank you for pushing back against that. you wanted me to yell at churches. [laughter] we are going to limits to these three questions. one of my favorite things abou

would move in with water cannon tear gas the protesters would be dispersed and then they'd quickly congregate again somewhere out earlier this evening though we did see what appeared to be the final move by police we saw masses of police officers running towards the protesters that were gathered just near here sending those protesters scattering it looked like a couple of those protesters were detained though it's difficult to confirm that at the moment but it really has been striking today just how much tear gas and water cannon have been used by police officers of course the protesters as well have been taking part in some of the violence we've seen protesters throwing molotov cocktails towards the police a number of them have been vandalizing buildings that have links to mainland china but there has been an immense amount of tear gas and water cannon on the streets today clearing the protest is in fact a mosque was targeted by that water cannon it was hit by blue dye which is so often seen in the water cannon that's being used by police at the moment police have issued a statement saying i

killing a nother innocent bystander in terms of the synagogue itself we know that it was a full congregation some 70 to 80 people were there for prayers because today of course is yom kippur one of the most holy days in fact the most holy day on the jewish calendar to put that number into perspective the in community the jewish community within that synagogue is estimated to be around $700.00 so if you think about $70.00 to $80.00 people that's about 10 percent of the population as we heard the gunman was unable to gain access to the synagogue so it could have been certainly much worse. and the german central council of genes has reacted to the attack i want to take a listen to what its president to has to say and then come back to you call. yes well i'm sure people understand his i was and still is shocking of the underside on the one hand we're seen a new quality and that is horrible. but it's a development that i and we as jews for the i'll have warned against in recent months it's in let's go to let's we are seen a shift to right wing extremism in society often safety extremists it feels

is looking to us like the jewish community today for the main day in which the jewish community congregate itself in its house of prayers i mean these are the high holy days new year for the day of atonement and that of course means that is a group that is sort of a lot more in these conditions of course a lot more a lot more exposed at the very same time.

all three congregations are housed in the same building.ently offered to plead guilty in exchange for spending life in prison, but federal prosecutors rejected the offer and are seeking the death penalty. in this community, that is one of two decisions being questioned. the other was what to do with the building after such a tragedy, make this a memorial or reopen as a synagogue and community center. they decided to combine the ideas. the outpouring of love and gifts from around the country have been gathered up, cataloged and some featured on the fweence th now surrounds the synagogue, including artwork from students who survived the massacre in parkland. all the while, the prayers for the dead have never stopped. what does it feel like reciting those names? >> it feels good to recite those names because i know i'm doing the right thing. >> joining charney throughout the year tree to haof life rabb his friend of 50 years. he narrowly escaped death. he was about to walk in when a man stopped him. >> i would be right in the middle of the sho

and we are talking about a congregation of over 1 billion people around the world.t offering the possibility of ordaining married men to the priesthood would alleviate that need. that's a question. i don't know if there is a perfect answer but pope francis saying let's see. >> martha: talking about how some parts of south america there are areas where there are 7200 catholics with only one priest. it really opened my eyes because people think, you know, the church is shrinking but in a lot of parts of the world, it's growing. >> gap. in asia, south america, africa, no doubt. but what i have a problem with is not the question of should priests be allowed to marry, okay? i think that's a very valid question that should be confronted head on. both because of the need of priests but for other reasons. what i don't like is the methodology that pope francis is taking. he's saying there is an area in the amazon region, in south america, they have a great need for priests, so let's get some representatives from there, make a decision based on that, -- we know that's going t
