Survivors of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz in Poland have urged the world not to allow a repeat of the crimes of the holocaust as they marked the 70th anniversary of the camp's liberation by Soviet troops. More than a million people, mainly Jews, were murdered at Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945. Kevin Connolly reports.

Three hundred survivors gathered, many in scarfs made from the blue-and-white stripes of the same prison uniforms they once wore on freezing winter days like today. If Auschwitz is a symbol of the worst that men can inflict, then they are a symbol of the human capacity to endure. The day belongs to the living eyewitnesses to some of the worst history's horror. But they were prayers for the many dead too, echoing in the grayish sunset.

Rebels in South Sudan have freed the first of several thousand child soldiers who are expected to be released in the coming weeks. The UN children's agency said 280 children, some as young as 11, were handed over in Jonglei state. From there Ed Thomas reports.

Today they are all free. The militia, the Cobra Faction, has signed a peace deal. It means the children can finally put down their weapons. It's a promise child soldiers like Peter depend on.

Despite the brutality they have the chance to begin again.

A Spanish judge has charged 10 Roman Catholic priests with child sex abuse in a case that prompted Pope Francis to telephone one of the alleged victims to offer his apologies. The priests are accused of abusing four teenage boys in Granada in southern Spain. Tom Burridge reports.

This case of alleged pedophilia within the Catholic Church in Spain came to light last October when a 24-year-old man went to the police. The allegations centre on events which began 10 years ago when he was a 14-year-old altar boy at a church in the city of Granada. In the court documents which have now been published he claims he was forced to masturbate a priest at the church called Roman Martinez. Pope Francis, who promised a zero tolerance approach to sexual abuse cases in the Catholic Church, launched an investigation into the case back in November.

The authorities in New York have been defending their decision to shut down the city's transport system after what was forecast to be a potentially historic blizzard turned out to be only moderate snow fall. The city's mayor said he'd taken a better-save-than-sorry approach.

In the corridor of a small town hospital in eastern Ukraine, volunteered fighters bring in their wounded. The flow of military and civilian casualty has increased here in recent days as clashes along the front line have escalated. The fighting has been particular heavy in Debaltseve, and now its two nearest towns are under fire too. Nato, Ukraine's government in Kiev and EU leaders all accuse Russia of stoking this conflict, sending weapons and fighters across the border to support the separatists. Moscow always denies that. But there's now talk of new economic sanctions to pressure Russia to back down.

波兰奥斯维辛纳粹集中营的幸存者纪念集中营被苏联军队解放70周年，他们敦促全世界不要让大屠杀的罪行重演。1940年到1945年间有100多万人在奥斯维辛被杀，其中主要是犹太人。凯文·康诺利报道。

300多名幸存者聚集在一起，很多人戴着蓝白条纹的头巾，他们曾在今天这样的寒冬穿过这种条纹的囚服。如果说奥斯维辛象征着人类所能早就的最大灾难，那么这些人就象征着人类所能承受的极限。今天属于这些活着的目击者，他们目睹过人类历史上最黑暗的恐怖。但他们也在为很多死者祈祷，祈祷声回荡在浅灰色的暮色中。

南苏丹叛军释放了几百名童子军中的第一批人，全部儿童有望在未来几周得到释放。联合国儿童机构称这280名儿童在琼莱州获释，其中最小的只有11岁。艾德·托马斯报道。

今天他们获释了，民兵“眼镜蛇派”签署了和平协议，这意味着这些孩子终于能放下武器了，这是皮特这样的童子军所希望的。

尽管经历了暴行，但他们终于有机会获得新生。

一名西班牙法官指控10名罗马天主教牧师以儿童性侵罪，此案使得方济各教皇致电一名受害者并表示歉意。这些牧师被控在西班牙南部格拉纳达性侵4名少年。汤姆·玻璃器报道。

西班牙天主教堂恋童癖案得以曝光，是因为去年10月份一名24岁的男子去警察局报案，据悉案情开始于10年前，当时他14岁，在格拉纳达一座教堂做祭台助手。在如今公布的法庭卷宗中，这名男子声称他被迫在名为马丁内兹的教堂为一名牧师手淫。曾承诺对天主教堂性虐案件零容忍的方济各教皇于去年11月对此案进行了调查。
