Australia responds to landmark child sex abuse inquiry

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Australia's national tragedy - as a public inquiry finds tens of thousands of cases of child abuse in institutions across the country: what can be done to prevent a repeat? Also South Africa's ruling ANC prepares to vote for a new leader. Are Christians really being arrested in India for singing carols? The government dodges a rebellious bullet in the Brexit process. We have a special report from Calais where a year after the migrant camp called the Jungle was chopped down conditions for refugees are - if anything - even worse. And - we hear about the new DNA research that could help the endangered Sumatran rhino. Picture: Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne Denis Hart Credit: EPA.
