BBC World Service - Newshour, All Chile’s Catholic Bishops Offer To Resign

The bishops have been accused of negligence in child sex abuse cases.

Chile’s Catholic bishops have been accused in a Vatican report of negligence in child sex abuse cases. Pope Francis initially dismissed the allegations, but later admitted to “grave errors in judgement”. 

Also in the programme: why is the US government so worried about Europe’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline? And we hear from Newshour’s James Menendez about the almost-total collapse of Venezuela’s economy.
