The Irish government has revealed how the Roman Catholic Church in Dublin covered up for decades the widespread sexual abuse of children by priests. A government inquiry found that the abuse continued until 2004 and accused government officials of helping with the cover-up. Ruth McDonald reports from Dublin.

The Dublin diocese report spares neither the Catholic Church nor the Irish state. The report focuses on a representative sample of complaints made by 320 children against 46 priests over a 30-year period. It found that the church plays its own reputation above the protection of children in its care and said the state authorities facilitated the cover-up by allowing the church to operate outside the law. The current Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin offered his sorrow and shame for what had happened to the victims and said no words would ever be sufficient.

The outgoing head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed ElBaradei has expressed his frustration with Iran over what he said was its failure to cooperate with his investigation into whether it'd tried to make a nuclear weapon. He told the agency’s board meeting that a year of negotiation with Tehran had gotten nowhere.

That has been no movement on remaining issues of concern, which need to be clarified for the agency to verify the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program. It is now well over a year, since the agency was last able to engage Iran in discussions about these outstanding issues. We have effectively reached a dead end unless Iran engages fully with us.

The tallest tower in the world, the biggest manmade island, the largest snow dome in the middle of a desert, no scheme was too over the top, if it helped put the tiny Arab Emirate on the map. Visitors would’ve been forgiven for thinking it’s built on oil, but international investors knew that Dubai didn’t have much oil. The fancy projects were largely funded by debt. When boom turned to bust, they also knew the lead company Dubai World was finding it difficult to pay that debt back. Bank stocks fell sharply in response to the news between them they could have millions of dollars at stake in Dubai World.

A High Court in London has ruled the two Caribbean registered investment funds are entitled to claim payment of a large debt owed by Liberia.

Investigations are underway in Washington to find out how a couple managed to fool White House security and gatecrash President Obama’s first state dinner. 300 guests attended the event on Tuesday in honor of the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. They included Michaele and Tareq Salahi. Paul Adams takes up the story.

They certainly look the part, he in tuxedo, she in dazzling red sari. And the photos posted on her Face Book page testified to an evening spent rubbing shoulders with the great and the good. Michaele with 3 marine guards, Michaele with the president’s famously savvy chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, and Michaele in a clinch with an obviously delighted Vice President Joe Biden. I was honored, Michaele writes, to be invited to attend the first day dinner hosted by President Obama. The only problem was she wasn’t. And embarrassed secret service is now scrambling to figure out just how she and her husband got in. Paul Adams reporting.

迪拜可能无力偿还数十亿美元的债务的消息导致欧洲股市大跌。伦敦主要股指遭遇了自三月份以来的最大降幅。法国和德国股市也大幅下跌。Stephanie Flanders报道。

迪拜拥有世界上最高的塔，最大的人造岛屿，沙漠中央最大的滑雪场，如果这能够帮助阿联酋占据世界地图的一个角落，任何机制都是值得的。如果游客认为迪拜是建筑在石油的基础上，这是不可原谅的。但是国际投资者知道，迪拜的石油产量并不高。这些绚丽的项目大部分是由债务支持的。一旦泡沫粉碎，为首的迪拜世界集团将无力偿付债务。消息传出后，银行股票急剧下跌，他们持有迪拜世界数百万美元的债权。
