i think the popes visit and, therefore, the vatican did have a big influence. he has been to egypt. syria, actually i feel like he has been to syria but i can't remember the visit since covid or since the war. and i do think that his influence has tremendous potential. >> thank you. yes, sir. >> thank you for the presentation. i'm a first-year student in european studies. i have more exits into question. in the beginning of your presentation you mentioned the sense of loneliness. so my experience of living under the siege, this is a completely opposite, a sickly this is a highest level of community, feeling of community where people understanding their common faith, especially when there is no electricity, nothing and people just communicate. so how can you elaborate on your feeling of loneliness under the siege in terms of soluble? >> did you say you're from serio? >> no. i'm from eastern ukraine. >> from ukraine. >> yes, i'm from donbass. >> slavery much understand -- >> oh, yes. what it's like to be in a war zone. so the sense being in the siege or -- >> no. basically in the begi

he is a psychologist and leading advisor to the vatican on sexual abuse among the clergy . thank you for joining us. to put it simply a cardinal, who went on to become pope, is accused of protecting alleged pete of file priest through inaction. it really doesn't get much, much more serious than this. yes, that is true. so what's your response to that? it has to be verified. the allegations have to be substantiated, and then there have to be some consequence. but it's an undeniable fact that the church is still dealing with these problems. can you explain why does sex abuse continue to be an issue within the catholic church? now that is an issue today, but the things that we have heard and listen to just now have happened over the last 35 years. so it is true that these reports show that we in the catholic church have a serious problem with this. however, i believe those reports are step forward because finally we can talk about it. we know the numbers we know for the 1st time. also the names of those who have covered up. so paradoxically, this is a step forward which gives

is there room for vatican to be instrumentally addressing this issue? >> greatse question. pope francis went tope iraq last year at theas height of covid, really bad time. it was march, the time we hadn't yet got vaccines, i'm working on aos un program right now, most people can't get vaccines he went and was despised by everyone not to go and he went because his background is working with people in the ghettos winners aris. i think that single act of courage gave so much solidarity to these people, a remarkable thing he did. i think there has to be solidarity not just from the vatican but off the christian communities. in america, predominantly is a christian -- i put that in brackets, the highest percentage of believers are christian, people don't know about these communities in the middle east so if they did and there is more solidarity and not just -- praying for them, actively trying to support them in terms of getting their industries on the ground, education so young people stay there and don't sleep, i think it could be incredibly supportive and the vatican did have

what is the vatican saying in response to this?porter: well, look, the report has just come out about two hours ago. it was prefaced by a press conference from germany on the part of the investigators who gave some details, so the vatican has issued an initial statement saying this. the holy seat considers that appropriate attention should be paid to the document whose contents are presently unknown. in coming days, following its publication, the holy see will be able to give it a careful and detailed examination. so they say that obviously because they were not privy to this document before it came out although it was commissioned by the archdiocese of munich as many catholic diocese have been doing for a historical reckoning, stpanned 75 years of abuse. it will take time to comb through and get the details but the principal findings, we know because the investigators reported them at the press conference, which implicate the pope emeritus, when he was archbishop there in mishandling four cases and most importantly the current arc

but clearly there was a lack of due diligence which is why the vatican and others have supported thecation of reports like this. the church needs to learn the mistakes that have been made, so it is good that these things are coming to light. what the governor's approved in the church is the key question. ross: in terms of this report and this investigation, what comes next, or is that the end of the process? reporter: we can't really speak in terms of that in the -- at the moment, but in the coming days and weeks we know the archdiocese in munich will have a press conference next week. benedict, who has willingly cooperated in the process, submitted 82 pages of submissions to the report. so we are likely to see much more of the story coming to light. ross: now we turn to a developing story in ghana in west africa. many people are feared dead after huge explosion in a mining town. this happened when a truck carrying explosives to a mine collided with a motorcycle. this is in the west of ghana. reporter: this was a huge explosion that has basically destroyed the entire community in wes

cnn's vatican correspondent is live for us.tion. >> reporter: well, jake, the report is over 1,800 pages. it spans a time period of seven years in the archdiocese of munich. it took two years to compile which is why in the initial responses from pope benedict and the vatican they say we need time to look into these findings because they've just received the report today. importantly, just to give you an idea, one of the cases of the four in which pope benedict is implicated for mismanagement just one of those cases runs to 370 pages. so obviously there still needs to be a thorough sort of response to what the findings are, what exactly is involved in the mismanagement on the part of the vatican and the pope emeritus. the other important player in this is the current archbishop of munich who is a close friend and adviser to pope francis who is the man who called for the report in the first place. he is also implicated for mismanagement in two cases. he has said he will respond next thursday. so we're still in a developing stage
