late ninety's so after spending one year in prison george pell is now a free man shortly after the high court made this ruling he left victoria's barwon prison now because of coronavirus social distancing measures there were only a handful of people in the court to hear this ruling it was posted online afterwards and the judgement was really based around the fact that the high court believed that the jury and the victorian court of appeal should have entertained doubt as to whether these offenses could have ever happened at all really it was in the late ninety's that these offenses were alleged to have taken place and the court said that there was not enough weight placed around. other alibi witnesses and people who said that there wasn't enough time for george pell to have in fact committed these offenses in the timeframe that the prosecution said that they had happened so now in the eyes of the law george pell is not guilty. well damien demarco is a child safety campaigner and the survivor of abuse in the merest brother's catholic order he joins us on skype from canberra good to have you wi

victoria's court appeal he stood by the jury and said no your conviction will be upheld will what the high courthas essentially done today is said we believe that the victorian court of appeal has heard and it didn't make the right decision the reason behind that was because they said that there wasn't enough white placed around what would be cool alibi evidence that many people said that there wasn't enough time for joy . held to commit these abuses in the span that the prosecution said that they had taken place and that the jury as well as the victorian court of appeal put too much emphasis on the accuser the former choirboy that believed his version of events and didn't listen to those alibi evidence and because of that the high court has said that there was maybe some reasonable doubt that these offenses didn't take place after serious nicola gage reporting live to sydney diplomatic thanks indeed. the democratic republic of congo's. its capital the main commercial hub for 14 days is the epicenter of the outbreak 12000000 people live in the city cramped conditions. reports. has turned to go s

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 very long and painful process you take us back to where it all began yes it's been a very long running process over 5 years since allegations were 1st raised against cardinal pell they were brought by 2 men who claimed that they were abused as choir boys in a melbourne cathedral in a 990 s. now an original jury failed to reach a verdict a 2nd jury did convict though and he was in prison for 6 years he appealed that conviction but lost he appealed again all the way to the highest court in australia and today has been successful now george pell has already released a statement saying that he has suffered a serious injustice but that he holds no ill will against the men who brought the allegations one of whom has since died so what does this now mean for pell's career in the church well pehle is one of the highest ranking catholics not just in

among the high court's seven judges.s lawyers had argued swathes of evidence made it difficult for the crown to prove that pell defended as alleged, and clearly the court has agreed 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, ca

subsequently, the holy s issued a statement saying it welcomed the high court's decision.also went on to say it reaffirms c itsmitment to pursuing all cases of abuse against minors. some have wondered whether this indicates whetherger cardinal geell will get another job back in rome. he was, after all, something like thehird most senior person within the vatican. i think that is unlikely, he is 78 years old. he has told friends that he actually wants to stay in australia. interestingly, the president of the bishops conference in australia, archbishop mark coleridge, has identified the ep divisions that still exist in his country. he said this in a statement today. today's outco will be welcomed many but will be devastating for others. sohere is very little triumphalism within the church in australia, so i think it is most likely cardinal george pell will see out the rest of his days in australia. worth keeping in mind, that because he never had to hand in his red hat, he remains a cardinal, and therefore, if a papal conclave is called betwn now and hi next birthday, he cou

the appeal was upheld at australia‘s high court, all sevenjudges ruling unanimously.t which is what cardinal george pell‘s defence team went to australia‘s highest court with. they said that the jury had depended so heavily on the testimony of one victim, and while they found the testimony compelling, they described it was uncorroborated. they said that they failed to acknowledge other evidence and essentially did not eliminate a reasonable doubt. they couldn‘t decide without reasonable doubt that he was guilty and that‘s really what the seven judges, the full bench of the seven judges, had concurred and upheld. you say, james, that you followed this from the beginning. it‘s been quite dramatic, a monumental decision in a very dramatic and most closely watched case in australia essentially because of who george pell is. a very senior member, the most senior member of the catholic church to ever be accused of such crimes. today, he has been acquitted and will walk free. has he reacted at all? he has actually. he sent out a statement saying, "i have consistently maintai

the majority of the appeals court found him guilty yet it got all the way to the high court, the highestrt 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, he's now a free man. he is staying at a convent in melbourne which is where he will stay for the foreseeable future. obviously keeping everybody very much in who candown in australia as everywhere else in the world. his supporters celebrating this was a witch hunt from the get-go. for the survivors of clerical sexual abuse and the advocates of these survivors, this has been a devastating blow. let's hear from christine foster. two of her daughters were raped by a priest and she's fighting for survivors. take a listen. >> i was shocked. i was really shocked. i was hoping that
