Chile's Child Sex Abuse Crisis

Chile's sex abuse crisis; Ethiopia's sticks of power; Mosul after Islamic State; home tourist sites you've never seen; 大象传媒 Chinese reuniting old friends. With David Amanor.

Chileans have been shaken by revelations about sex abuse within the Roman Catholic Church. This week the Pope accepted the resignations of three bishops, and police raids were carried out on church offices. Constanza Hola has been back to her home country to report the story for 大象传媒 Mundo.

Sticks of power
大象传媒 Afaan Oromo is sticking up... for an ancient tradition in rural communities which is enjoying a revival among young urban Ethiopians. The "siinque" is a stick that offers protection to Oromo women. Yadeta Berhanu and Firaafoli Dhugasa tell us more.

Mosul after liberation
It's almost a year since the liberation of the Iraqi city of Mosul from so-called Islamic State. 大象传媒 Arabic's Feras Kilani reported from the frontline during the nine-month battle to retake it, and has since been back to discover the difficulties of life after liberation.

Unseen sites
We take you on a tour of some tourist hotspots our Fifth Floor colleagues grew up beside but never saw! Let's find out why it took Egyptian Ahmed Maher nearly thirty years to visit the Pyramids, why Konul Khalilova from Baku in Azerbaijan has no desire to go to the famous Fire Temple, and why 大象传媒 Persian's Golnoosh Golshani used to drive through beautiful Isfahan to visit another city.

大象传媒 Chinese reuniting old friends
Two years ago, 大象传媒 Chinese ran a series about the generation whose youth was blighted by the Cultural Revolution. One man told the 大象传媒 how he escaped compulsory re-education by swimming to Hong Kong from mainland China. A long-lost childhood friend came across the story, and Cho Wai Lam witnessed their reunion.
