The Islamist group in Somalia al-Shabab has closed down BBC radio relay stations in five cities in southern Somalia, including the capital Mogadishu. In addition, they have ordered the BBC partner station in Mogadishu ... not to broadcast BBC programmes. Here is our east Africa correspondent Peter Greste.
In a statement, al-Shabab said the BBC had been broadcasting the agenda of crusaders and colonialists against Muslims and ordered all the organization' transmitters to be shut down. The BBC has been broadcasting its services in Somali, Arabic and English across the country on a series of FM frequencies for at least a decade, and surveys suggest it is one of the most widely listened to news services in Somalia. In response, the head of the BBC Africa service Jerry Timmins said the organization speaks to all sides in the conflict, including al-Shabab and rejected any suggestion otherwise.

Pope Benedict is facing new allegations about his handling of cases of child abuse by pedophile priests. The Associated Press News Agency says it obtains a letter signed by the future pope in 1985 when he was a senior Vatican official in which he resisted the dismissal of an American priest who'd sexually abused children. The letter speaks of concerns including what it calls the "good of the universal Church", that it says should be considered when deciding the matter. The Vatican hasn't commented on the contents of the letter, but the Vatican spokesman said it wasn't strange that there were documents with the future pope's signature on them.

在一份声明中，青年党声称，BBC一直广播十字军战士的日程和反对穆斯林的殖民主义，下令关闭BBC所有的传播设施。BBC已在该国以索马里语，阿拉伯语和英语，通过一系列调频波段提供新闻服务至少十年时间。调查表明，BBC是索马里收听范围最广的新闻服务之一。BBC非洲服务部门负责人Jerry Timmins表示，BBC广播代表冲突各方的利益，包括青年党在内，拒绝他们进行其他暗示。
