Thanks for watching, everyone. Around the world is next. Im suzanne malveaux. Im michael holmes. Welcome to around the world, we begin in vatican city. Pope Benedict Xvis final days in power filling up with a scandal. The top cardinal just resigned after four priests accused him of inappropriate acts. And the vatican in damage control mode after reports of network of gay priests at the vatican blackmailed by prostitutes. Fidel castro sworn in and announces this is his last goround. He says he plans to retire in 2018, most likely to put an end of rule by castros.

They say Carl Pistorius was driving recklessly. He was to go to trial last week but thats been pushed back to the end of march because of the murder charges against his brother. Back to vatican city. Where alleged sex scandal and intrigue swirling around the Catholic Church right now, happening just days before Pope Benedict xvi is stepping down. Talk about timing. The pope just issued an order allowing the cardinals who will choose his successor to start their work a little earlier. Now they dont have to wait 15 days after he steps down. One cardinal who is not going to be there when the conclave starts. That is scotlands Cardinal Keith obrien. He has now resigned amid allegations that he abused four men studying to be priests in the 1980s. News of his resignation comes a day after a british newspaper reported on that alleged abuse. Our chief International CorrespondentChristiane Amanpour joins us from rome. This report was in the observer, the newspaper, saying one man was a 20yearold seminarien, cardinal was a spiritual director and inappropriate approaches were made after night prayers. What do you know about the case and what Cardinal Obrien is saying . Reporter well, look, we know according to published reports theres this case and three other cases. A total of four cases now coming out and accusing Cardinal Obrien of inappropriate sexual misconduct. He himself is said to have taken up, obviously, legal counsel. He has, as weve said, resigned but he was resigning months ago. Its just that today Pope Benedict accepted that resignation. He didnt have to accept it today. It could have been further delayed but he did accept the resignation. And now weve also know, because of statements Cardinal Obrien has posted, he will not come here to rome and take part in the election of the next pope in the conclave. He said that he would want the spotlight not to be on him but on the pope. But what is clear, suzanne and michael, is that, look, the sun is setting tonight on this eternal city. This was meant to be sort of a swan song for Pope Benedict xvi. Four more days in office and every single minute, it seems, one tawdry scandal after another comes to knock the socks off what should be a process of sailing off into the sunset. Explain this for us. There is a difference. Obrien is accused of, quote, inappropriate acts, this is different than the pedophilia cases and the coverup around that. Can you describe the inappropriate acts . Is this something they suspect of a sexual nature . Reporter we dont know the full details. Cardinal obrien denies it. We dont know. If it is a consensual situation, perhaps that is the case, but why would they say its misconduct . Why is it coming up now . Why were these allegations not brought up much, much earlier . Perhaps that has to do with the fact because of his age, hes 75, he has to resign. About the details, were not sure. But what we do know in response to the other question, the other part of your question is, that for decades, suzanne, for decades the church has been plagued now by serious crimes. Not sins, crimes, of a sexual pedophile scandal by the priests in the Catholic Church. In the United States this erupted as of 2002 and has touched basically every diocese in the United States. It came to europe, and Pope Benedict watched as the scandals spread through the archdiocese here in europe. Its been something to color the Catholic Church and has really grieved so many Roman Catholics because of what happened and because of the lack of transparency and the lack of accountability that seems to continue to this day, suzanne. All right, thank you very much. Being a Roman Catholic myself, its painful time and time again to see this is kind of thing happening. This is the latest bombshell. Exactly. Its been going on for so long. Of course, thats just one part of this growing scandal. There is more. Investigative journalists in italy have spent months now looking into allegations of wrongdoing at the vatican. They say they found evidence of a sorted history involving gay priests being blackmailed by male prostitutes. Ben wedeman has details on that angle. Reporter it was his last prayer, Pope Benedict xvi stressed again that hes not abandoning the church. To the tens of thousands who listened in st. Peters square who had come to show their support, it was a sentimental farewell. To investigative newspaper journalist, who has been delving into alleged wrongdoing at the vatican for the last six months, benedicts words carried much more significance. This doesnt mean to abandon, it means to fight, she says. Last sunday he said, we are fighting against the temptations of power. Temptation that may have proven too strong for some. She is one of the two journalists who have reported as this headline in her paper says, sex and blackmailed careers are behind benedict resignation. Sordid tales of vatican officials con sorting with male prostitutes. At stake, she contends, is the very integrity of the church. A church governed, she says, by a network of officials, some of whom are compromised by their homosexual activities. Compromise, perhaps, to senior levels, says a writer for the news weekly panorama. He says he believes Pope Benedicts attempts at reform were stymied every step of the way. In these eight years the pope has repeatedly made calls to stop the divisions, he says, to end the power struggling and to have more transparency, but these calls werent heeded. The latest claims flatly denied by the vatican are based on interviews with senior vatican officials. The journalists did not identify. And dozens of other unnamed sources. Having struggled with controversy since the beginning of his pontificate, the two italian journalists conclude benedict lost faith in those who were supposed to support him. He decided by himself, says di gregorio, that he decided to resign because he no longer trusted the men around him. Benedicts hes not abandoning the church, but according to these accounts, the church may have abandoned him. Ben wedeman, cnn, rome. Were going to get a different view . Before 25 minutes. Were going to talk about the reverend thomas reese, a jesuit priest, and has all the new stories italy are what he calls creative writing, not journal m journalism. Very interesting. Well get his viewpoint, too. Plenty of them out there. To havana, cuba, president raul castro has been elected to five more years in office. Thats not surprising. But what might be is that he says its going to be his last time. He says hes going to give up power in 2018. Raphael romo joins us as well as patrick opman, live in havana. Patrick, rauls older brother,fy del fidel castro making a rare appearance. What is his feelings about the end of the castro regime . Reporter fidel castro says he supports all the initiative taking place yesterday at cubas national assembly. Its different from what fidel castro did during his time in power. He didnt have a Succession Plan in place when he suddenly had to step down because of illness in 2006. Raul castro is taking a very different tactic from his brother. You mentioned, yesterday when we were brought in hours after fidel castro left, came in to see the end of the deliberations and closed door election process that goes on here in cuba, raul castro said he was reluctant, that wasnt a shock but to hear about hes going to step down in five years no matter what and talking about a younger success tore, whos only 52, much less military experience than those in power. Hes a very different figure. That can only help. He doesnt have a lot of the negative baggage perhaps other officials who have been in power for decades and decades here. He comes from the provinces and his reputation there was that he got things done. That kind of experience is soarsoa sorely needed in havana with the economic problems. Hell have five years as first Vice President and then well see if he will be the first president to succeed the castros here in cuba. Lets bring in raphael romo now. Any official reaction to this . This is literally the end offen era. Not necessarily official but what the cubanamerican is saying, this is just another example of the travesty of democracy the cuban government is. Essentially theyre saying the castros are paving the way for what will be the new generation of leaders that will have the same ideology, the same political ideology and will ensure that the cuban revolution remains alive. I had an opportunity to speak with a leader of the cubanamerican community. He said, and im talking about mauricio caron. He says cuba remains a totalitarian dictatorship where power is concentrated in the hands of the castro brothers. Sadly while the world was distracted by castros spectacle over 100 peaceful prodemocracy activists were violently arrested for gathering in the streets of havana. This morning i gathered information from cuban blogger, for the First Time Ever now outside cuba, traveling in brazil. She was just given a visa. This is what she said about developments in cuba. She said the original sin of the raul castro government is that he was not elected. He inherited power as if cuba were a family fiefdom. Those are very, very strong words. The reaction of many of the cubans who for decades have been asking for real democracy in the communist island. They dont expect any change, not much change at all . No, just paving the way for another continuation. Fidel castro will be 87 years old this year. Raul castro is 81. By the time he finishes this term hell be 86. They know they have to do something to make sure another generation continues their policies and thats exactly what theyre dook. A lot of cynicism out there about this succession.

Nina is in london to talk about what has happened here. What is the big concern . Is it the debt . Yeah. In one word, it really is here. The uk government has done an awful lot since this Coalition Government came back to rein in spending, and scale back the deficit but what we have learned as of last week is that the country isnt managing to cut back on its borrowing as much as quickly as it had hoped. As you said before, moodys, one of the three major Credit Ratings agency, has taken away that coveted crown of aaa rating. A lot of people are expecting Standard Poors and fitch to follow suit sometime soon. When we talk about what it actually means, i mean, there are those certainly in the government saying, yeah, no big deal. Its not going to change how we run the economy. But is that what people are saying there . I mean, what are you hearing . Higher Interest Rates are going to play in here . What many economists in london will tell you is that obviously these ratings agencies had given an indication theyre already earmarking the uk for a cut because they put it on negative watch. A lot of people will say this es seblly priced in but it leaves a lot in the government with red faces. Not to mention, George Osbourne because he consistently sent the message that because he had managed to maintain the aaa rating was a good thing and a sign that obviously he had been doing a good job. But no more. It seems he doesnt have that rating anymore to plug on television, michael. Yeah. Nina, good to see you there in london.
