Syria. David chaytor has more on those failed talks from geneva. The eighth round of negotiations and yet another failure for the United Nations in geneva the syrian Governments Team refused point blank to meet face to face with their opposition counterparts they say no talks will be held with the opposition as long as this insists on president assads removal from power and the opposition has presented us with a new position and has imposed preconditions on the talks in geneva these come from their handlers on the other side the uns mediator stefan de mistura couldnt hide his frustration he said courage was needed to win the peace a big missed opportunity i golden opportunity at the end of this year when in fact duty there a clear indication by many thighs that the military operations are coming to a cloth the leader of the opposition delegation though was equally forthright pinning the blame for the failure squarely on the shoulders of the team from damascus. The regime has refused to wreck talks refused indirect talks refuse even the agenda put forward by. Did everything it means the regime rejected the Peace Process after nearly seven years of civil war in syria with the death toll now stretching beyond four hundred thousand and with millions of refugees force on the home now is the time to find a new initiative behind the scenes talks are underway to find a method to revive this Peace Process but ultimately solution lies in the hands of two leaders in washington and moscow. Aljazeera geneva. From palestine to pakistan malaysia to japan protests are planned on friday against the u. S. President s decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the outrage over don trumps decision to move the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem hasnt died down since the announcement last week it was widely condemned with islamic leaders instead declaring jerusalem as the capital of palestine. Lets go live now to harry forsett whos in jerusalem so whats planned there today. Well so far the scene is although it looks quiet behind me it has been busier than around this time last friday there are a lot of people coming from on buses from the occupied west bank from northern israel as well for friday prayers theyre obviously converging here and heading on their way towards the al aqsa mosque compound palestinian factions have called for larger scale protests this week than we saw last week and it also follows just a couple days after the organization of islamic couple cooperation conference in turkey where there was a lot of calls for from Mahmoud Abbas from the president of turkey and others for a strong response to what has happened since the declaration on wednesday by donald trump the Israeli Police are saying that there are no restrictions in terms of ages as they sometimes impose on preselect on fridays if they are concerned about possible tensions however they always say that they assess and update these things during the day and the factions are calling for a convergence of protesters in the occupied west bank in occupied East Jerusalem in fact near the kalandia checkpoint which is long been a friction point between protesters and Israeli Security forces so we could see somewhat larger scale protests than we saw last friday after afternoon prayers i will just have to wait and see how things play out or i will leave it there for now and check in on the situation there later thanks for now sorry for so. Now a five year inquiry in australia shows major institutions have failed to protect tens of thousands of children whove been sexually abused it wants a stranger to introduce a law forcing religious leaders to report child abuse including catholic priests told of abuse in confessionals the role commission has been investigating abuse in Catholic Churches schools and sports clubs in australia over the past ninety years more than sixty percent of the victims in religious institutions were catholics about four thousand institutions were reported to the commission which heard from more than one thousand witnesses the report makes nearly four hundred recommendations to prevent child abuse including Vatican ReformPrime MinisterMalcolm Turnbull said the investigation has exposed a National Tragedy i want to thank and on are the courage of the the survivors and their families whove told often for the first time the dreadful. Stories of abuse that they received from people who actually owed them love and protection. He spent a long hard slog we started off with not being believed not pain not people not wanting us to talk about it the churches and charities in institutions putting pressure on everyone not to believe this that we were lying that it wasnt true and the Royal Commission is in enabled all of us to to step up and say yes now people believe this it is true my hundred thomas is live for us now in sydney and first of all andrew some of these recommendations touch some of the basic Church Traditions tell us how. Well they do two of the key recommendations is that celibacy among priests in the Catholic Church be optional and another is that the sanctity of confessional be abandoned the priest be obliged to tell the place if they hear of criminal behavior from people coming to them now those are two of the central tenets of the Catholic Church and already senior people in the Catholic Church in australia are suggesting that they dont think they could go along with these the archbishops of both melbourne and sydney in the last couple of hours of both say that the sanctity of confessional as something to change is a distraction i dont actually think it would help children until the spot that they one of the main recommendations based report celibacy they have been less vocal on so far but again that would strike really to the heart of the Catholic Church but theres been a huge investigation thats going on as you say for more than five years and the damning report thats the only way it can be described because thats exactly what it is it says this was not a case of a few rotten apples this was institutional abuse that the Catholic Church should have done much more about on the words hands of thousands of child victims all facts abuse so as you say four hundred mandation is now go to australias government is for them now to consider this huge report seventeen bolivians of its in old and for them to decide what laws of nature changing here in australia and then what implications that could have globally for the Catholic Church and other it religious institutions that sounds like a very critical report numb wondering what responses there been from the Catholic Church under. It was a sight the archbishops of both melbourne and sydney have said the sanctity of the confessional shouldnt really be touched that is to central and as distraction there has been some interviews with senior catholic site of the last day or two knowing this was coming and they have said in those interviews that they havent heard any priest come to them and say that theyve never heard anybody admit to child abuse in the confessional so what is the point in changing what is a central religious ten and if its not really going to help anybody but those who put together this report say well thats missing the point this sends a huge signal that child abuse should never be tolerated even if its admits its a religious setting the concern though is that there have been similar reports of this in other countries in ireland most notably but in parts of the United States as well and that nothing fundamental has changed as far as the vatican is concerned people whove been involved in those reports in ireland and the United States say that while a lot of attention was paid to these say shes at the top in those countries nothing long has changed in the church globally and i spoke earlier today to one of the victims who reported to the commission about all of this and that is his concern as well that while there is a lot of attention on this right now and that while some laws may change here in australia will that really change the nature of the Catholic Church globally because thats what he thinks needs to happen and he said if the Catholic Church doesnt accept that and implement the recommendations that i made that maybe laws in a country like australia should change to disadvantage then maybe they should be stopped for example from running Catholic Churches in australia that was his suggestion but all that is for the future for now seventeen volumes this report goes to the government and its for them to consider what to do about it alright to leave it there for now thanks so much under thomas.
