Vatican tries to stop child abuse documentary airing on Italian TV

Bishops in Italy are putting pressure on Italian television's public broadcasting corporation, RAI, in an attempt to stop the broadcasting of BBC documentary examining the systematic cover up of child sex abuse cases involving members of the Church by the current Pope himself. The documentary claims that the current Pope ordered the renewal of measures specifically designed to protect those priests guilty of child abuse by relocating them and by pressuring victims into keeping quiet.
The Panorama documentary has already become one of the most watched videos on the Italian Google video, but now Catholic bishops are trying to prevent it from reaching an even larger audience.
The secret measures only came into the spotlight in 2003 when they became the focus of much media examination. When the documentary was shown in Britain, it caused the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy -O Conner to complain to the BBC about their decision to show it.

17 year old girl stoned to death for loving boy of different religion

A 17 year old girl was dragged from her home by eight men in Iraq and stoned to death for thirty minutes until she was dead. The girl was condemned to death by members of her own family and religious leaders for carrying on a relationship with with Sunni Muslim boy, ( she belonged to the Kurdish 'Yezidi').
As the stoning took place, a security force stood by and watched. An Amnesty International spokesman said that they frequently receive reports of honour killings like this one from Iraq, usually carried out by male relatives who feel that a female has somehow shamed the family by erring from their religious doctrines. Retaliatory attacks have already begun, as 23 Kurds were killed by Sunni insurgents last week. The victim's boyfriend is allegedly in hiding following the murder.
