Vatican Summit to Tackle Child Abuse

BBC World Service - Weekend, Vatican Summit to Tackle Child Abuse

Bishops gather in Rome to discuss child abuse in the Catholic church; the Oscars

"Listen to the cry of the little ones who are seeking justice" - The words of Pope Francis as he opened the first Vatican summit to tackle what he called 'the evil of child sexual abuse by priests'.

And it's the Oscars awards ceremony today, but who will be the winners? We go live to Los Angeles to discuss the front-runners.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Dr. H. A. Hellyer, Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London and the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC, and Dr. Kat Arney, science writer and broadcaster.
