Her attending the negotiations in moscow and the Turkish Foreign minister explained the results off the days think associations. Today we worked hard on this document and we put into consideration the compromises regarding the situation in libya called in to the proposals made by mr after marshall after and mr sort of.

To complete such a document and agreements. Well we have 3 correspondents covering the story mahmoud is in tripoli and jamal say al is in the turkish capital ankara but 1st will bring in step vast and moscow to tell us what more youre learning step about why a breakthrough wasnt reached. Well the situation is very much to be continued to hear the rain after more than 7 hours of difficult talks there is still this one signature missing of. How far and the foreign minister here sat there there is been this positive. Development he called it some progress has been made and he also said that after called the Draft Agreement of positively but had he was waiting for some more time to consider signing it what has been agreed or what has been in the Draft Agreement so far that we know of is that except for this unconditional ceasefire there is a line of 1st Operational Forces mentioned in there and also measures to stabilize the situation in tripoli and in other cities and also the appointment of people who have to continue the negotiations but they also are some questions raised about how much control and pressure russia can actually put on russia has been supporting at halftime militarily mercenaries from russia have been fighting in libya especially in the last couple of months this fighting has been intensified and that actually put russia also in this power broker situation but now have to has been. Reluctant to sign it and also we saw that a couple of days ago when the cease fire was announced the tool start on sunday initially half are also rejected completely to agree with to cease fire and it seems that he is having this this this kind of turnaround again here at the last minute in moscow as well but there might be well. In a few hours from now in the morning here in moscow well have to wait and see ok a step thank you for that update from moscow. Lets not bring in jim ill say oh hes joining us live from the turkish capital ankara where there were also talks taking place between turkish leaders and italian leaders on the issue of libya earlier today are circus leaders optimistic that a breakthrough can be reached well it seems they are there in over the past few days their diplomacy has been in overdrive with regards to libya 24 hours ago president met with Prime Minister before he had headed over to moscow on previous truthout what was the precursor to these discussions and moscow was that meeting between iran and russian president Vladimir Putin as you mention on monday there was a meeting between Prime Minister just epic on sale for italy and president around both of them held a press statement together and this is what the president had to say we support plans for the berlin conference and myself the russian president Vladimir Putin and the italian Prime Minister just happy conti will all be in attendance mr putin and i agreed to reach a cease fire in libya the cease fire which began on sunday and our delegations are now in moscow to discuss this and i hope it will be permanent. So that burning conference that he was referring to was meant to be taking place on the 19th of this month so just in a few days time and its meant to involve several countries not just russia and turkey but also its really there as well as germany obviously is a host nation and other what they call stakeholders with regards to libya now that is the next big step in this process and the fact that the president of turkey as well as other leaders have announced that they will be attending this would mean that their optimism is unnecessarily misplaced or at least in the short term that there will be some sort of a breakthrough the situation is were going to hear from more than tripoli is still tense but there is that reports coming from the different sides of the conflict that things are a lot calmer than they were before so right now optimism here in turkey which has become a major player not least because it has sent its own military true libya to try and friend of the advance of credit for that on those mercenaries from capturing the trip to the capital tripoli and that optimism they are hoping will Gain Momentum as more developments in this road map to trying to find a political solution becomes clearer ok jim our sail from anchorage a mouse thank you lets bring in mahmoud ive been washed head now to get an update from tripoli itself thats in libya so how is all of this filtering down to libya and whats happening on the grounds. Will drain as soon as the news of the. Government to the head face and the head of the High State Council signed this cease fire accord in moscow we have been getting good reports from the west of libya here from civil Political Parties institutions along with the governmental institutions that are all sticking to one main condition in order for this peace through this peace deal to go on that have to the forces must pull out from southern tripoli as a prerequisite for any peaceful settlement to this conflict everybody here in the west of libya there remain is wanted that the existence of have to us forces in southern chile may be used as. To fact or to score situation again as the worst of the camp led by the government on the other hand we have been getting reports from the eastern. Region of libya saying that have to us forces will never accept to put our words from southern tripoli otherwise they will continue fighting and tell the take full control of the capital tripoli as you know daryn that this is not a simple conflict its a tough task not only for international and regional mediators but also for there are a vocal leaders themselves for have and each one of them as you know daryn have local and regional allies and its not easy to convince the allies to accept this these conditions of the ceasefire accord ok what ive been washed head with an update from tripoli thank you. Libyas been torn apart by conflict since a long time ruler mama gadhafi was overthrown in 2011 and its divided between warring militia groups which mostly back to rival governments so the un recognized administration led by Prime Minister. Based in tripoli its supported by turkey and most western nations including italy which is worried the fighting near tripoli will force more people to cross the mediterranean then in the east there is the brute based government the center of power for a warlord the have to is backed by egypt saudi arabia russia and the United Arab Emirates france is also accused of providing military supports to his forces. Lets meet someone who is a Senior Advisor on u. S. Affairs the u. N. Recognize governments in libya hes joining us via skype from washington d. C. Thanks for being with us on the aljazeera news hour so according to the Russian Foreign minister he says that quote Good Progress is being made on an unconditional and open ended cease fire that must be good news for you whats your reaction mohamed are you with us. All right apologies we seem to be things some trouble connecting to my guest from d. C. Will try and bring him on a little later on well earlier i did speak to al jazeera senior political analyst. And he says the upcoming talks in berlin will seek a final political solution to the conflict thats us and face that raj has agreed to sign and basically he probably signed something but like for this to become an agreement and this is a truth a truce probably in my definition is a bit more than a cease fire a cease fire as when you seize firing a truce as mandated order as demanded by the United Nations means you will start exchanging prisoners you will start the rule creating a relocating where your forces are the marketing as it were in order to prepare the political atmosphere and in this case the conference in berlin for finding a find the political solution probably some of the disagreement is who is in this commission right and whos who are the good inters of this sort of truce is that sticky a part to do it is part one of to get on to those are there more who will be participating in berlin what does that mean in terms of for now until then and of course as we all know in these sorts of circumstances signing is the easy part implementing thats the difficult part and when were talking about a 9 year civil war were probably talking about a long a long term process to build confidence make sure that the cease fire works or the through swerves make sure that all the stakeholders do respect arms embargo and so on so forth in libya and then you have a 3 track we have forward economic political and military and i must emphasize that while the political and economic are of course are indispensable but the minister one is going to be the most important because without a United Libyan Army where all the militias can join in were going to continue to see this sort of decentralized violent the process whereby different militias and the various warlords continue the escalation of a war and that everyone now wants it end. Lets bring in Muhammad Ali Abdullah once again hes a Senior Advisor on u. S. Affairs for the u. N. Recognize government in libya hes joining us via skype from Washington Well try again 1st can you give me your initial reaction to what came out of moscow today a few hours ago because we understand thats talks didnt really achieve a breakthrough but the foreign minister of russia says that Good Progress has been mates all right apologies for that its once again technical issues via skype but we will move on and we will tell you about whats coming up on the aljazeera news hour its a surprise twist in the murder trial of an investigative journalist in slovakia. And the worlds top badminton player. Is injured in a Road Accident that kills his driver peter haas more not in sport a little later. In the future of frances presence in the region is being discussed at a meeting between leaders of the 5 west african nations and call for an a half 1000 french troops are deployed there to aid the fight against armed groups but anti french sentiment is rising as a security situation is worsening and president has sacked the army chief after 89. 00 soldiers were killed in the latest attack we. Standing by for the latest but 1st well go to Natasha Butler joining us from poland where that meeting is taking place thats. Calling for it so what is he hoping to come out of. Well the french president is still locked in talks with his counterparts from the g. 5 sile nations in iraq the grand casa but you can see behind me in the Southwest City of pope before the leaders who attended a ceremony for 13 french soldiers who came from barracks in this city killed in december in mali in a Helicopter Crash and that really threw the spotlight on the risks the french soldiers are taking in the silence show many people in france you started to question why its france and the style in should it continue to be there at the same time it might or might call the french president said that he was increasingly frustrated with what he calls anti french sentiment among some people in the sile he feels that that anti french sentiment is on the rise but its not being condemned by the regions leaders so hes called this summer because he was the presence of the cell nations to clarify whether or not they want french troops to continue fighting alongside their forces in the region because he says that if theyre not welcome then perhaps they shouldnt be there theyll also be talking about the Bigger Picture of course a war should be happening with this region where violence really has been surging and of course the people who are suffering of those on the ground the civilians ok Natasha Butler thank you for that update from po and well bring in either doing this now hes joining us from the army thats the capital of and as weve been reporting in hearing violence really spreading right across that region so whats at stake on the ground for this meeting taking place in france. Well there is so much expectations from ordinary people in the sahara in the rest of west africa why you dont only have armed groups in mali. And the violence spilling over into a book in a fossil and this year but also book. Which has expanded from nigeria a decade ago into china need a chemical and probably a few other countries now the expectation of everybody in the region is that the region as well as the International Community will collaborate father or more to see or to bring an end to these attacks talk to everybody on the street their expectations is that they want peace a lot of people in the region in the style especially where we sit weve seen. Demonstrations on the street is people dont understand why with the presence of nearly 20000 International Forces including 4500 from france the violence still continues in the region people will not understand that despite the Technology Despite the weaponry despite their training all these on the part of they do not come into the community especially the french these violence will still continue and weve seen in the genre here the mood in this country is not to just believe 71 People Killed only in december and last week the last another 89 members of the armed forces and they dont understand why despite the presence of these armies Multinational Forces in this region these killing still continue doing it and for those who are directly a sector by the violence how are people coping with it. Well so many communities we have visited from mali booking a fossil in nigeria come roun chide they are close to giving up in nigeria i think people have grown numb to these attacks for 10 years now that been witnessing these attacks some book or arm and now with the Islamic State in west africa progress has moved in set up shop in the region and continuing to attack military and civilians in the region and the sahara with seen how with these armed groups are growing bolder by the day targeting military and displacing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the last one or 2 months weve seen nearly half a 1000000 civilians displaced by these fighting and these is a region where you have some of the poorest of the poor in the world people who leave below we live on less than one and have dollars a day and people who cannot make ends meet people who expect support from their governments and the governments cannot provide everything they need they can provide the shelter it a shelter that can provide enough security they can provide enough food to feed these teeming refugees teeming ive just been exposed in the region so its a very dicey situation for many people we have already 2700000 or 2000000 700000 displaced persons in the lake chad or those needing Food Assistance emergence would assistance and now you displeasing have a 1000000 more in less than 2 months so its a very tricky situation for many people in the region ok. Thank you very much for that update from news there. So lets just take a closer look at the region were talking about in which i was referring to the sun how refers to the vast area covering western and Central Africa the militaries of 5 countries in that region mauritania mali. Make up the 5 joint force it aims to maintain regional control against the fighters but the violence has just been getting worse on the number of People Killed in attacks and brick enough. Jumped from 71720162 more than 4000 last year its largely because of a combination of attacks by armed groups on intercommunal violence remote areas where the states presence is weak or a specialty vulnerable the humanitarian cost is also growing the u. N. Estimates half a 1000000. 00 people have been displaced lets make to. Ease a security researcher at the middle east center whos joining us live from johannesburg via skype thanks for your time with us on aljazeera so. We look at that meeting happening right now in poll in france the future of frances presence in the region is being discussed do you expect a change in strategy at all. Thanks for victory no it doesnt seem to france will just most likely increase cooperation will be increased support and when doing these you know security for the 1st approach is as was always been taken by france already and you know that seems to be the problem i mean it is said previously you know theres 4500 francs troops theres another 16000 in the International Troops 30000 as part of them as one troop but that tax as we see is going up the numbers of you know if i tell it is it going up so there needs to be a different approach and unfortunately this meaty ball actually slide to see you know which beast or when your version of what a different approach what is what is required here what exactly do you mean by that thanks to be an approach that looks at you know one better coordination but 2 i think the bigger issues is to move away from security and more towards mediation more to development more towards finally the Real Solutions you know it really 11 the National Commission often a city in madison peace can meet you know its a wide spectrum of miley and Civil Society leaders just leaders and politicians that negotiate with this at least mammals didnt you know the military group because they are mali and defense against it is only one way to deal with militancy and you know the key to that is youve been france i mean in mali basically followed events lead similarly nisha you know we having these countries that you know the leadership is quite the legitimacy of the of the post of the democratic process is questionable which is creating this disillusionment because the french to support you know this external it was you know its actually seen easy to stay in power and it shortened it in not able to actually look at the real grievances in mali hasnt been you know local government in places like like to do for years now and im fortunately you know we just see how do you combat militancy it sort of how do you actually deal with what causes the. Right so so that domestically what needs to be done to mess the cli or or locally to combat this. Locally needs to be more coordination you know that they was at least initially after the algiers of course and the presumably specifically there was you know talk about trying to finish many of the military coup because in the security structure and trying to actually create a more unified country also you know weve seen an increase in the coordination between the 3 kind of the 5 countries of the south which is good because the borders are porous you know the looked at who book are not going to according to for example has its own authority no one has one of the you know that if. The problem though is that you know these these dictatorial regimes are seeing you know this counterterrorism counter to militancy as means of actually ensuring they stay in power and you know he does as you for example its legitimacy is very question after the you know the 228 action similarly a savoyard in has been arresting people that well and im fortunately you know we need to see much more pressure being put on these countries to actually democratize to actually start using their budgets probably i mean booking a fossil for example has spent 25 percent of its expenditure on military hardware you know its actually. Poverty is one of the causes of the militancy that country and so unfortunately you know this is the problem with this ball meeting we see a splintering of this already for what approach a couple have to make that theyre brain damage thank you very much for speaking to us from johannesburg thanks for having me. Now britains Prime Minister is in Northern Island for talks of the regions know the appointed leader as i am the mozzie has more from our european broadcast center. Yeah thats right Boris Johnsons visit marks the reopening of Northern Irelands power sharing devolved government after it collapse some 3 years ago over a Renewable Energy skein deal was brokered by the british and irish governments and comes at a critical time as the region faces uncertainty over its relationship with london and dublin at a persons looming exit from the European Union fulbright and reports now from belfast. Restoring the Northern Ireland assembly has been a political imperative for Prime Minister Boris Johnson not least because his brics it plans need a functioning government here at stormont so the pm came to belfast keen to talk up the opportunities presented by the new power sharing deal. In the u. K. Government work with this. Government. To ensure that we deliver on that attention. But away from storm on to 3 years of political paralysis have left Northern Irelands Public Sector in crisis there is considerable public cynicism about political promises we have holes in the race. We have lakes everywhere the floors are part Malone Integrated College is a remarkable school a beacon of integration between catholic and protestant communities but its buildings are falling to pieces and the symptoms of underfunding are all around it will take more than just political will to reverse the years of neglect here everything is just falling apart falling apart. This time and its very very dangerous for these kids just. That we have. To meet them and over the last number of years but nobody should have to work or be educated. Its not fair on these kids they deserve better in july of last year a Parliamentary Committee back in london conceded that Northern Ireland Education System was facing manageable pressures that stagnant funding was having a devastating impact and that the problems had mounted to the point where they had become a crisis and that is the situation now demanding urgent resolution from storm. In december Northern Irelands nurses began strike action in protest of the Health System a breaking point nurses here are paid 800. 00 less than their counterparts in the u. K. Mainland nearly 3000. 00 vacancies remain unfilled hospital and. Cancer treatment waiting lists are the worst in the u. K. A power sharing deal offers renewed hope that mercy unions want to see the color of the money out of nurses do not have a formal commitment made to them by the Health Minister this week it needs to be done this week we will be back out on the picket lines again on monday wednesday and thursday of next week because nurses offended many many promises those promises not to date the converted and its estimated that Northern Ireland needs 2600000000 dollars to address the various crises and there is serious concern that the governments wont say whether theyll fund thats a moment this power sharing deal in itself may not mean a quick end to the Public Sector storm paul brennan aljazeera bell 1st when other stories are following one of the 4 suspects on trial for the murder of a slovak investigative journalist has admitted in court to killing him a former soldier large checklist charged with killing young could see ak and his fiance outside their home near the capital bratislava in 2018 shooting cause mass protests that led to the resignation of the Prime Minister robert feature prosecutors accuse a prominent businessman mayan culture of ordering the murder after he was the subject of quote checks reporting into fraud and political corruption maintains he is innocent well caspar is in new york for us where the trial is taking place and says the murder has mobilized political activists. Slovak media calls this trial the trial of the century really its changed a lot after the murder of yonkers lark a journalist investigative journalist. After his murder and his fiance in 2000 thinkin a lot of change socially a lot of change in the Syrian Society there was a lot of mobilisation on the on one hand but not so much in the political sense of the of the world so. Killed because of his writing because he drew some lines between control show controversial businessman called. He had good ties to Police Politicians and also Italian Mafia so just to give you an illustration. It was good to be there one of the main prosecutors and they agreed that there would be a video camera in his office so caution to really know whats going on even in his office after the after the murder there was a big mortgages ation of public a Prime Minister robert fits all had to resign but on the other hand he stayed as a president of his party smeared a populist social Democratic Party and hes confident was installed as Prime Minister so in that sense nothing really happened politically. So also following developments in abkhazia this is that the leader of the georgian breakaway region of abkhazia who has resigned now following days of antigovernment protests that. Says he is stepping down in the name of peace and stability for the sake of his country on thursday dozens of demonstrators broke into the president ial headquarters calling for a new leadership they say that will widespread irregularities in the election in september which so action but wait another 5 here 10. Back to the rain in doha now ossie a bit later i am thank you very much well still ahead on the aljazeera news hour paying with their lives the growing prize for refugees attempting to make a desperate journey into europe. And its been a day of highs and lows of the dakar rally peter as the details on that later. How it rained in the mission all blue this is the weather down the gulf you can see the cloud is still moving quite steadily so weve still got some weather for a few showers in iran but the show as we can down the gulf those bringing showers with it which means attempts to rise a little in for example the hot but the heavy rain in moscow which resulted all goal may well start reappear on wednesday the change in the wind direction or this part of a man possibly bits the u. A. E. Will see showers and thunderstorms once again with that change in wind direction generally dry picture further north back towards the and part for a shower or 2 its largely bright or sunny skies not particularly warm but ok what we have got developing to the west of that in the gulf of say it is a circulation off the coast of to dizzy and then drifting towards benghazi to reduce libya were talking about here for the next day or so i was significant wind and rain moving only very slowly to be honest in this part of the world out dr reef much of the north of rest of north africa we still got showers stretching from kenya down towards our girl seasonally the forecast heavy showers us through zambia towards zimbabwe and also mozambique south of that very few showers in south africa. Across europe immigration is high on the agenda and in hungary its presented as a pressing issue we didnt have immigrants at all 0 immigration but this is the one political topic anybody and everybody is discussing the far right is preparing for battle and their opponents or anyone who is different. Prejudiced some pride in hungary on aljazeera. From sunrise to sunset. Across asia. And the pacific. Explore on tone and fascinating stories. Of diverse cultures. And conflicting punit takes. One on one east on aljazeera. Television the top stories on the aljazeera news hour talks in moscow for a permanent ceasefire in libya have failed to achieve a breakthrough russias foreign minister says quote Good Progress is being made but worthwhile if i have to it has asked until tuesday to decide whether to sign a formal deal. The leaders of turkey and italy say theyll attend further libya peace talks next week in berlin the russian president Vladimir Putin will also attend. And for more on the International Diplomatic push for peace in libya lets bring in our diplomatic editor james raises joining us from the United Nations what are you hearing from the u. N. James. Well the big question is will there be a ceasefire will have have to actually sawin but i do think what weve seen in moscow does tell you something about where the power lies in terms of external actors in the middle east and diplomats ive spoken to are making parallels with syria yes they are very Different Countries but look at syria and theyre much of the political process has been pushed through the socalled a starner process a place in. But basically the russians and the turks even though they were on different sides of the argument one supported a sad one was opposed to him taking control of the political process in place perhaps of the u. N. And what are you now seeing in libya while you have russia and turkey different sides of the argument supporting different people and yet they have taken control one diplomat described it as and the start of the cation of the political process now in libya and whos getting pushed out of this well the u. N. The u. S. And the e. U. Nowhere to be seen the russians and the turks for now are controlling the situation its a point i put to the Spokes Person for the u. N. Secretary general the u. N. Cannot operate in a vacuum right what is always important whether its in syria or libya and those a Different Cases right i mean. Whether its in syria or in libya. A political process cannot move forward without the will of the people. Being represented but also we need to be realistic without involvement of not only of the parties who are fighting on the ground but of the parties outside of the country who have an influence what is important is that what is happening in moscow feeds into berlin. So thats the next stage of this bird livin and although its not have been officially announced by the German Foreign ministry certainly others involved the turks and the italians say they will be going to burlington for a big meeting at leader level to take place almost sunday this is where i think the u. N. Try and take what the russians have turks have done and put it back as an International Process and try to move things forward but rather than being the main event now seems to be a rubber stamp of what looks like it might have been achieved in moscow but we mustnt get ahead of ourselves we have to watch what the renegade general general have to in the coming hours yeah we do and james ill put that to my next guest thank you for the time being that our diplomatic editor james bay is from the United Nations and now well bring in Mohammad Ali Abdullah is a Senior Advisor on u. S. Affairs to the u. N. Recognize government in libya hes joining us via skype from washington thanks for your time with us on the aljazeera news hour so what will we see happen on tuesday what will have to do because according to the Russian Foreign minister minister he said that they didnt achieve a breakthrough but Good Progress is being made. Thank you to the and thank you for having me there what were seeing and what we will see tomorrow and continue to see throughout this process is the same behavior and just ongoing examples of the root of the issue which is that house that is not really a reliable partner and has been has been treating this whole process as more like a as again minas a showcase in order to preempt himself for the ultimate objective here what is ultimately a business to rule libya ultimately with no conditions or destroy libya and that and he has no other room for d any other considerations and one of the examples of that is in todays meetings with the russians 24 have had by inside the deputy u. A. E. Ambassador in moscow along with 4 other advisors or him out hes negotiating this deal and so this shows you that this proxy war that house that is carrying out is is much much much more complex than just a typical civil war that some people try to simplify this scenario to what we are seeing today is exactly what happened on april 4th 21010 days before a National Reconciliation conference house the 3 ms that by attacking. Tripoli the capital and basically you know raising his nose at the u. N. Secretary general and what hes doing today. Russian president Vladimir Putin is the same thing that he did the right you know what is i mean you know how significant is it then that russia and turkey seem to be taking control now of this political process. It has a has a lot of significance for 2 reasons one is that right now the the end game or the berlin process which will hopefully lead to the end game from the perspective is as a constitutional referendum passed so many many milestones that will help us get there now the fact that the un has sort of been pushed aside along with the e. U. And other players this may have been more tens of all steps in order to help us get there because i think the u. N. Process one of the un mission itself lost a lot of credibility to lead to such a process and at the end of the day to be honest the u. N. Was left out to dry by a lot of the of its partners including the e. U. And the usual. 111 significance the other significance that it exposes at the end of the day what kind of a house is all about exposing the fact that he is not able to participate in diplomacy never has he never will hes not able to even if you wanted to hes basically as they say a one trick pony he knows force brutal all of the time. And you know i the rule i said on top of this not even the summary of it but let me just jump in there for a 2nd just for the sake of time i mean this is a man that the u. S. President donald trump has has said has played a significant role in fighting terrorism and securing libyas Oil Resources which is in fact contrary to what a u. S. Official position is on libya i mean youre speaking to us from washington d. C. Right so what do you understand the u. S. Position to be on the bia. Well i think that what the particular phone call that President Trump kerry doe have exposed a lot of misinformation and a lot of work theres actually another problem within the u. S. Administration at the time which has since been reconciled and corrected is that that particular message that president drug related was quickly kwacha by the Defense Department of the pentagon and the state department and then the history or the days afterwards proved not only is he not able to fight terrorism he continued to attack and not to go over the city that was liberated by a force in the other muscles right from the 2nd largest isis on clay and the fact that he is killing those forces were actually eliminated terrorism and hes continuing to target them that goes to show you what it was that is all about in the right behavior right now this child just tantrum kind of approach is a reflection of that this guy is not a reliable partner for any kind of muhammad ali im gonna have to leave it there weve run out of time but we thank you very much for joining us on aljazeera thank you now a disagreement in the Roman Catholic church over whether priests should be allowed to marry has led to a surprise intervention from the former pope from on this lets bring back Maryam Namazie from our london censor yeah thats right for hundreds of years priests have to remain celibate but pope francis is considering easing some restrictions to help with the shortage of priests well now the previous Pope Benedict has entered the debate between the chechen performance and the traditionalist you talk or explains. That is a central question in the Roman Catholic church should priests maintain the centuries old stance on celibacy. Now 2 popes past and present could find themselves on different sides of the debate. Pope benedict the 16th who pledged to remain hidden from the world when he retired in 2013 has broken his silence to passionately defend celibacy in a new book benedict who became the 1st pope in more than 600 years to resign because of ill health so the traditional hours priests to focus on. The comments come at a time when pope francis is considering easing a ban on married men serving as priests south American Bishops of call for a change to help end a shortage of priests particularly in indigenous communities in the amazon. Francis the 1st latin american pope is said to have an instinctive understanding of the regions challenges. It is pope francis who will make any final decision but the surprise intervention from Pope Benedict underscores fundamental divisions of the 1300000000 bent but church many catholics who ever deny francis and benedict have different views on married priests what bennett think believes about priestly celibacy is exactly the same as what pope francis believes this centered on the amazon them look at their communities who dont get a priest even once a year could we consider ordaining some deacons who are there who are married with families and this is something the pope is considering and as an exception and im sure that he says yes benedict will be happy with it and he says you know the same some priests who converted to catholicism are allowed to carry on in their ministries but some traditionalists within the Roman Catholic church fear that pope francis is leading them in a direction they dont want to.
