From Morning Report, 7:55 am on 26 September 2018

The sex abuse scandal hitting the Catholic Church has now reached Germany. A report released at the German Bishops' Conference documents the sexual abuse of more than 3,600 minors by 1,670 clergy members within Germany's Catholic Church between 1946 and 2014. The study's authors say the total number of abuse cases is likely to be far greater. Our correspondent in Germany is Martin Gak. He talks to Susie Ferguson.
