Pope Francis has turned down the resignation of a German cardinal who wanted to show corporate responsibility for child abuse scandals in the Roman Catholic Church. Damian McGuinness reports from Berlin. In his letter, Pope Francis said he agreed that child abuse by clerics and the way the church had handled it was indeed a catastrophe.

"Killing dozens of soldiers. Retaliation was swift and brutal. We were showing footage of the bombs. being dropped. the jets were clearly visible from the thai side of the border. Since the coup in february karan insurgents have been some of the staunchest supporters of the pro democracy movement. Even harboring activists fleeing the military's brutal crackdown in towns and cities. There are also reports that they've been helping to train members of a new defence force. The korean people are not the only ethnic group to renew their long battle against the military in the borderlands in the north and east along the frontiers with china laos india. All their armed ethnic organizations have decided to take on the agenda once more. Its leader gentlemen. Online is powerful but he's currently fighting on many fronts. Telling this story is challenging. My team can't get into me and mar and even getting close to the border took to dis. The thai villagers decided to take they are in their truck and i couldn't understand why they would all piling into the vehicle with pickaxes and shovels. But soon a became abundantly clear. The road would have to be rebuilt along the way now. I use the term road listlessly. It wasn't parts a creek bed elsewhere. The river was so deep we could see the heads of water buffalo as the wallowed and yet our driver said he'd made this many tames. We were being sean. What it takes to live in this difficult but beautiful terrain where flash floods had washed away. The dude jump out and arrange walks to a rough path in order to carry on as we go close to the border we saw the counts of scattered families late. Eighteenth fires to make dinner. I assumed that all fled from myanmar. But no these were thai villagers and they would also too scared to stay in their homes near the border. Due to the intensity of the fighting a stray bullet had made across the salween river which separates the two countries. The village chief also claimed that some shrapnel from a bomb had landed on a roof he said this was the worst fighting he'd experienced in seventy years before long. We heard gunfire across the river. Then came the load boom of mortar fire. Chief thought it would be safer if we stayed in. One of the abandoned houses soon became clear. Why the villagers had fled all night nine pm eleven pm. Three am four am came the sound of heavy clashes. The fating may be in another country but it feels close people. Living on both sides of the border have been caught in the crossfire. In the morning we had to leave. The tirtha. ortiz are reluctant to let press near the border. They've been criticized in the past for turning away karan refugees fleeing from myanmar when we were discovered we would escorted out of the year. But we were told that food and medicine had been given to those who need it. My team and i left knowing we'd seen just a small snapshot of the crisis in myanmar. Since then many of the karen refugees have crossed back over the border determined to defy the military much like the millions of people in towns and cities still determined to restore democracy. And although the villagers i met will attempt to rebuild their homes. Few believe the fighting will end anytime soon. No rubicon a collective howl of outrages a rare thing across nations but the diversion of orion f- flight headed towards lithuania to belarus has caused a proper storm a report of a bomb threat so the plane land straight away in minsk where it became obvious that the real target was a young critic. The belarus government of president lukashenko who is on board ryan is mike leary commented pointedly that it was a case of state-sponsored hijacking state sponsored piracy and james landale has been following other reaction across europe. We all know that feeling. We finally got to our seat on the aircraft. The stress of getting to the airport is over. The hassle of customs and security is done we settle back and submit ourselves entirely into the hands of the pilots and cabin crew. In short we feel safe as a diplomatic correspondent. There have been times. I have felt this glow of relief even more acutely when departing a country in conflict. I can feel the tension slip away as i board the aircraft restored to a neutral international. Space that is both familiar and reassuring so it must have been for romance service as he got on his plane from athens last sunday bound for the lithuanian capital vilnius but instead of providing security his ryan as shuttle took him to belarus the one place the dissident journalists did not want to go where he was facing arrest for organizing opposition rallies. Belarus insists broke no rules but european countries say what happened was an act of unprecedented air piracy for them. The false bomb threats the scrambled warplane the orders to landed minsk amount to something close to hijack and kidnap mr producer voyage. This was a personal disaster. The loss of his liberty and the threat of much worse but for the international community. It was so much more for this was not just about an individual breach of human rights or a technical infringement of international aviation law. This was about a country endangering civilian airliner one that was taking passengers between to european capitals simply to allow for the arrest of a government critic. And what's more according to belarus state media. It all happened on. The orders of the country's authoritarian leader alexander lukashenko. I don't think you can underestimate the incredulity that reverberated across european capitals many diplomats still like to see themselves as guardians of something called the international rules based system. This forced landing was angry. Gis violation one of the most important norms that underpin relations between countries. I was shocked. One western diplomat told me. This is new and i anything lukaschenko appreciates how much of an escalation this is. It's incredibly dangerous. He said to cry wolf like this. It undermines the confidence that everyone has to have that it is safe to fly. Another diplomat said we hadn't played this kind of thing out in our scenarios but with look shaneco out of his mind. Sometimes things do happen. The president of belarus once recommended volker as a cure for covid nineteen so there was a swift realization across the eu. The crisis posed a huge test for body that likes to claim it has strategic autonomy. Could it's member states for once act together.
