Pope condemns priests guilty of child sexual abuse calling them 'tools of Satan'

Pope Francis has promised new measures to end child sex abuse in the Catholic Church -- and branded the priests responsible as "tools of Satan". 

Also in the programme: how Syrian refugees are working with lawyers in Germany to build a war crimes case against the Assad regime; and how thieves are ruining the very fabric of the Portuguese capital's artistic heritage!
