New Report on German Choir School Abuse

BBC World Service - Newshour, New Report on German Choir School Abuse

The report has found that more than 500 members of a German boys choir were abused.

A report into a world-famous Catholic choir school in Southern Germany has found that more than 500 pupils were subject to physical or sexual abuse over a period of nearly 50 years. We hear from Alexander Probst who was a pupil at the choir school and was one of the first people to speak publicly about the abuse there.

Also on the programme: Is Obamacare here to stay? or go? And the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex is no longer the fast runner it was thought to be.
