Thanks for watching, everyone. Around the world is next. Im suzanne malveaux. Im michael holmes. Welcome to around the world, we begin in vatican city.

They say Carl Pistorius was driving recklessly. He was to go to trial last week but thats been pushed back to the end of march because of the murder charges against his brother. Back to vatican city. Where alleged sex scandal and intrigue swirling around the Catholic Church right now, happening just days before Pope Benedict xvi is stepping down. Talk about timing. The pope just issued an order allowing the cardinals who will choose his successor to start their work a little earlier. Now they dont have to wait 15 days after he steps down. One cardinal who is not going to be there when the conclave starts. That is scotlands Cardinal Keith obrien. He has now resigned amid allegations that he abused four men studying to be priests in the 1980s. News of his resignation comes a day after a british newspaper reported on that alleged abuse. Our chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour joins us from rome. This report was in the observer, the newspaper, saying one man was a 20yearold seminarien, cardinal was a spiritual director and inappropriate approaches were made after night prayers. What do you know about the case and what Cardinal Obrien is saying . Reporter well, look, we know according to published reports theres this case and three other cases. A total of four cases now coming out and accusing Cardinal Obrien of inappropriate sexual misconduct. He himself is said to have taken up, obviously, legal counsel. He has, as weve said, resigned but he was resigning months ago. Its just that today Pope Benedict accepted that resignation. He didnt have to accept it today. It could have been further delayed but he did accept the resignation. And now weve also know, because of statements Cardinal Obrien has posted, he will not come here to rome and take part in the election of the next pope in the conclave. He said that he would want the spotlight not to be on him but on the pope. But what is clear, suzanne and michael, is that, look, the sun is setting tonight on this eternal city. This was meant to be sort of a swan song for Pope Benedict xvi. Four more days in office and every single minute, it seems, one tawdry scandal after another comes to knock the socks off what should be a process of sailing off into the sunset. Explain this for us. There is a difference. Obrien is accused of, quote, inappropriate acts, this is different than the pedophilia cases and the coverup around that. Can you describe the inappropriate acts . Is this something they suspect of a sexual nature . Reporter we dont know the full details. Cardinal obrien denies it. We dont know. If it is a consensual situation, perhaps that is the case, but why would they say its misconduct . Why is it coming up now . Why were these allegations not brought up much, much earlier . Perhaps that has to do with the fact because of his age, hes 75, he has to resign. About the details, were not sure. But what we do know in response to the other question, the other part of your question is, that for decades, suzanne, for decades the church has been plagued now by serious crimes. Not sins, crimes, of a sexual pedophile scandal by the priests in the Catholic Church. In the United States this erupted as of 2002 and has touched basically every diocese in the United States. It came to europe, and Pope Benedict watched as the scandals spread through the archdiocese here in europe. Its been something to color the Catholic Church and has really grieved so many Roman Catholics because of what happened and because of the lack of transparency and the lack of accountability that seems to continue to this day, suzanne. All right, thank you very much. Being a Roman Catholic myself, its painful time and time again to see this is kind of thing happening. This is the latest bombshell. Exactly. Its been going on for so long. Of course, thats just one part of this growing scandal. There is more. Investigative journalists in italy have spent months now looking into allegations of wrongdoing at the vatican. They say they found evidence of a sorted history involving gay priests being blackmailed by male prostitutes. Ben wedeman has details on that angle. Reporter it was his last prayer, Pope Benedict xvi stressed again that hes not abandoning the church. To the tens of thousands who listened in st. Peters square who had come to show their support, it was a sentimental farewell. To investigative newspaper journalist, who has been delving into alleged wrongdoing at the vatican for the last six months, benedicts words carried much more significance. This doesnt mean to abandon, it means to fight, she says. Last sunday he said, we are fighting against the temptations of power. Temptation that may have proven too strong for some. She is one of the two journalists who have reported as this headline in her paper says, sex and blackmailed careers are behind benedict resignation. Sordid tales of vatican officials con sorting with male prostitutes. At stake, she contends, is the very integrity of the church. A church governed, she says, by a network of officials, some of whom are compromised by their homosexual activities. Compromise, perhaps, to senior levels, says a writer for the news weekly panorama. He says he believes Pope Benedicts attempts at reform were stymied every step of the way. In these eight years the pope has repeatedly made calls to stop the divisions, he says, to end the power struggling and to have more transparency, but these calls werent heeded. The latest claims flatly denied by the vatican are based on interviews with senior vatican officials. The journalists did not identify. And dozens of other unnamed sources. Having struggled with controversy since the beginning of his pontificate, the two italian journalists conclude benedict lost faith in those who were supposed to support him. He decided by himself, says di gregorio, that he decided to resign because he no longer trusted the men around him. Benedicts hes not abandoning the church, but according to these accounts, the church may have abandoned him. Ben wedeman, cnn, rome. Were going to get a different view . Before 25 minutes. Were going to talk about the reverend thomas reese, a jesuit priest, and has all the new stories italy are what he calls creative writing, not journal m journalism. Very interesting. Well get his viewpoint, too. Plenty of them out there. To havana, cuba, president raul castro has been elected to five more years in office. Thats not surprising. But what might be is that he says its going to be his last time. He says hes going to give up power in 2018. Raphael romo joins us as well as patrick opman, live in havana. Patrick, rauls older brother,fy del fidel castro making a rare appearance. What is his feelings about the end of the castro regime . Reporter fidel castro says he supports all the initiative taking place yesterday at cubas national assembly. Its different from what fidel castro did during his time in power. He didnt have a Succession Plan in place when he suddenly had to step down because of illness in 2006. Raul castro is taking a very different tactic from his brother. You mentioned, yesterday when we were brought in hours after fidel castro left, came in to see the end of the deliberations and closed door election process that goes on here in cuba, raul castro said he was reluctant, that wasnt a shock but to hear about hes going to step down in five years no matter what and talking about a younger success tore, whos only 52, much less military experience than those in power. Hes a very different figure. That can only help. He doesnt have a lot of the negative baggage perhaps other officials who have been in power for decades and decades here. He comes from the provinces and his reputation there was that he got things done. That kind of experience is soarsoa sorely needed in havana with the economic problems. Hell have five years as first Vice President and then well see if he will be the first president to succeed the castros here in cuba. Lets bring in raphael romo now. Any official reaction to this . This is literally the end offen era. Not necessarily official but what the cubanamerican is saying, this is just another example of the travesty of democracy the cuban government is. Essentially theyre saying the castros are paving the way for what will be the new generation of leaders that will have the same ideology, the same political ideology and will ensure that the cuban revolution remains alive. I had an opportunity to speak with a leader of the cubanamerican community. He said, and im talking about mauricio caron. He says cuba remains a totalitarian dictatorship where power is concentrated in the hands of the castro brothers. Sadly while the world was distracted by castros spectacle over 100 peaceful prodemocracy activists were violently arrested for gathering in the streets of havana. This morning i gathered information from cuban blogger, for the First Time Ever now outside cuba, traveling in brazil. She was just given a visa. This is what she said about developments in cuba. She said the original sin of the raul castro government is that he was not elected. He inherited power as if cuba were a family fiefdom. Those are very, very strong words. The reaction of many of the cubans who for decades have been asking for real democracy in the communist island. They dont expect any change, not much change at all . No, just paving the way for another continuation. Fidel castro will be 87 years old this year. Raul castro is 81. By the time he finishes this term hell be 86. They know they have to do something to make sure another generation continues their policies and thats exactly what theyre dook. A lot of cynicism out there about this succession.

Nina is in london to talk about what has happened here. What is the big concern . Is it the debt . Yeah. In one word, it really is here. The uk government has done an awful lot since this Coalition Government came back to rein in spending, and scale back the deficit but what we have learned as of last week is that the country isnt managing to cut back on its borrowing as much as quickly as it had hoped. As you said before, moodys, one of the three major Credit Ratings agency, has taken away that coveted crown of aaa rating. A lot of people are expecting Standard Poors and fitch to follow suit sometime soon. When we talk about what it actually means, i mean, there are those certainly in the government saying, yeah, no big deal. Its not going to change how we run the economy. But is that what people are saying there . I mean, what are you hearing . Higher Interest Rates are going to play in here . What many economists in london will tell you is that obviously these ratings agencies had given an indication theyre already earmarking the uk for a cut because they put it on negative watch. A lot of people will say this es seblly priced in but it leaves a lot in the government with red faces. Not to mention, George Osbourne because he consistently sent the message that because he had managed to maintain the aaa rating was a good thing and a sign that obviously he had been doing a good job. But no more. It seems he doesnt have that rating anymore to plug on television, michael. Yeah. Nina, good to see you there in london.

South korea has a new leader and for the first time in the countrys history it is a woman. Yes. She is the daughter of a man, however, many considered a dictator. Reporter the world may not know much about south koreas first female president , the life of park geunhye and her family fill the nations history. Born into politics, her father park chunghee was described by some as the countrys first dictator. He sees a military coup when she was just 9 years old. He ruled south korea with an iron fist for the next 18 years. Overseeing huge Economic Growth as well as human rights abuses. Personal tragedy hit park geunhye while she was studying overseas in 1984. In seoul her mother was shot by a north korean sympathizer. The botched assassination attempt drastically changed the course of park geunhyes life. She was now de facto first lady. Five years later there was another assassination attempt on her father, this time it was successful. His intelligence chief shot him at a dinner party saying he wanted south korea to become a free democrat. It was two decades later before park geunhye decided to return to the public spotlight and launch her own political career. And last december as the head of the conservative party, the 61yearold who never married and doesnt have children, was elected president with an overwhelming majority. One of her major challenges as president will be dealing with north korea. She met the late kim jongil in 2002 in an attempt to end the bad blood between the two families. Park geunhye says she wants to resume talks with north korea and restart the aid program on the condition pyongyang abandons its Nuclear Weapons program. But after its Third Nuclear test, analysts believe kim jongun isnt interested. I think north korea will test her through these provocative acts. I think this nuclear test will be one of many, traditional, nontraditional, military, paramilitary, and even cyber theyll use everything to see what president parks mettle is, what she is made of. Reporter kim jongun may have found a formidable adversary. Park geunhye with top office in a maledominated soelt. Park geunhye joins a small but elite group of female heads of state around the world. Only 18 other female president s or Prime Ministers out of almost 200 countries.

All set. With spacious seating for up to eight. Imagine that. Chevrolet. Find new roads. Welcome back to around the world. Here are top stories right now. Pope Benedict Xvis final days in power filling up with scandal. A top british cardinal just resigned after four priests accused him of inappropriate acts. And the vatican now in damage control mode. Thats, of course, after reports of a network of gay priests at the vatican blackmailed by a network of male prostitutes. Well talk to a jesuit priest and the author of inside the vatic vatican in a minute. John kerry is in london as part of his First International trip as americas top diplomat. He met with british Prime Minister David Cameron as he introduces himself to some of the main u. S. Allies. Hes visiting Nine Countries as part of this 11day trip. Next stop germany. He also called the head of the Syrian Opposition group today to encourage him to come to the friends of syria meeting in rome. Wow. The Opposition Group said on friday it would boycott that meeting because of a lack of support from the international community. We are determined that the Syrian Opposition is not going to be dangling in the wind, wondering where the support is or if its coming. And we are determined to change the calculation on the ground for president assad. In new orleans the federal government and an army of lawyers for oil giant bp are ready to battle it out. A trial getting under way. Bp wants to limit the civilian penalties its got to pay for the Worst Oil Spill in u. S. History almost three years ago. Billions of dollars are now at stake. Now back to the vatican in crisis. Pope benedicts final days now overshadowed by youre talking about allegations of abuse, sex, blackmail, prostitutes. Again. Now lets bring in reverend thomas reese, jesuit priest, the author of inside the vatican. Lets talk about this. You say the allegations of vatican rruption, blackmail, gay clergy members, nothing new and unsubstantiated. You have to realize these stories all originated in the italian newspapers. And the italian newspapers dont have the same standard of journalistic ethics and procedures that american journalism does. Its more italian newspapers are more like the blogosphere. Sometimes they get it right. Often they get it wrong. So, until these accusations are substantiated and proven, i take them all with a grain of salt. You dont buy this report was actually done and given to the pope . Well, was a report done . Probably. Whats in it . Id like to know myself. But these you know, simply accusations and saying whats in it without showing it to us, i just dont accept it until i see it. Why the i know youre giving the benefit of the doubt but im wondering why considering the past, the allegations, the Sexual Abuse Involving young boys that youre not a bit more skeptical. Theres been a lot of coverup of previous bad acts. Well, first of all, were not talking about the sexual abuse of children here. Were talking about sexual immorali immorality, gay sex, that kind of thing. Are there some homosexuals in the vatican curia . Im sure there are. Are there some people doing inappropriate things . Im sure there are. To what extent . I dont know. You know, we believe as christians that the Catholic Church was founded by jesus but its run by human beings. Theres lots of saints. Theres lots of sinners in the Catholic Church. Including in the hierarchy. This shouldnt surprise us. But to say that this is a huge thing going on, then youve got to prove it to me. Reverend, do you have any sense of whether or not the next pope that is selected is whether or not there is going to be any kind of requirement for him to deal with this in a more forthcoming way . I being a Roman Catholic myself, theres a lot of disappointment in the church with how they have handled this. Im more disappointed than you. We did a terrible job in handling this in the past. I think that the sex abuse crisis is the worst thing thats ever happened to the Catholic Church. And, you know, we need to get down on our knees and apologize, apologize, apologize to these poor children that were so traumatized and sparred. But i think we also need to recognize that the church is in a much better place today than it was, say, at the beginning of the papacy of john paul ii. One of of the reasons its in a better place today is because of Pope Benedict. Who as cardinal ratzinger, he didnt get it at the beginning, but he listened and he learned and he pushed and he threw hundreds of priests out bad priests out of the priesthood. So the church is in a much better position today. Mostly due to Pope Benedict than it was in the past. Yeah, a lot of great to get your thoughts. A lot of people, of course, would disagree and still a lot of angst and a lot of people who say that the pontiff was stymied at attempts for reform. We will see what happens the next time around. We do appreciate your thoughts. Reverend thomas reese, jesuit priest. Thanks for your time today. The last week and a half we have heard blt murder allegations against Oscar Pistorius, but he is not the only Family Member whos now in trouble. Carl pistorius is facing homicide charges. All about a traffic accident. Well have that story coming up. So. Howd it go . Well, dad, i spent my childhood living with monks learning the art of dealmaking. Youve mastered monkeystyle kung fu . No. Priceline is different now. You dont even have to bid. Master hahn taught you all that . Oh, and he says to say translated from cantonese you still owe him five bucks. Your accent needs a little work. Welcome back to around the world. In south africa there is some confusion over the next step for Oscar Pistorius. The olympic star accused of murder. Everyone expected him to show up at a local Police Station as part of his bail conditions. The media were there. They were waiting. But no show. Representative for the court said that reporting to police was actually not written down as part of his final approval for bail. But there are reports he did check in with other authorities today. Went into a courthouse, apparently. A lot of people were waiting. They just all went home. He didnt show up. Apparently thought it had been written down and when they went back and checked, it hadnt been. But another pistorius who is facing charges in a womans death. This is Carl Pistorius. Hes the older brother of Oscar Pistorius, now charged with culpable homicide. This is two years after he was involved in this car accident. Prosecutors say Carl Pistorius had been driving recklessly. He was scheduled to go to trial last week but that had been pushed back to the end of march because of the murder charges against his brother. One of the conditions of Oscar Pistorius bail is that he cant go back home because its a crime scene, obviously, so hes staying with an uncle who lives in a suburb of pretoria. Nic robertson is taking a look at what its like for him, life after bail and after, you know, this is a country thats really divided over this whole thing. It is. Reporter it has come to this, parole officers checking up on Oscar Pistorius behind the high walls and wrought iron gates of his uncles secured mansion, banned from his own home, which is the crime scene. Life for the man known as blade runner forever changed. His girlfriend, reeva, the one pistorius told friends he might marry, dead and adoration from his country divided. I think unfair. The man we dont know if its guilty or not. And to trial him now, its not really fair. Its shocking to think that despite of all the evidence that is mounted up against him, he still managed to get bail. Reporter steamkanps family appeared disappointed at the outcome, too. Not sure what to feel in the case. They just want to know the truth and whatever happens, its not going to bring reeva back, you know. They just want justice and the truth. Reporter her father more outspoken. Quoted in the African Newspaper saying, it doesnt matter how rich he, pistorius is, and how good his legal team is. He needs to live with himself if he gets his legal team to lie for him. Hell have to live with his conscience. But if he is telling the truth, i may forgive him one day. But if it didnt happen as he described it, he should suffer. And he will suffer. Only he knows. In the affluent pretoria suburb that is pistoriuss home for now, his uncle issued this statement. What happened has changed our lives irrevocably saying it has drawn the family closer together. Adding, we are acutingly aware of the fact that this is only the beginning of a long road to prove that as we know oscar never intended to harm reeva let alone cause her death. Both families say they want justice. It will be a long wait. Pistorius next Court Appearance is june 4 9 and likely his trial many, many more months after that. Possibly as late as next year. Nic robertson, cnn, johannesburg, south africa. This was a this was one we actually watched, right . The one movie we both saw. Big winner at the oscars last night, argo, based on a true story.

Two countries whose governments are bitter rivals, locking horns in the wrestling world cup. The atmosphere is electric here.
