Reaction to the murder of white supremacist Eugene Terreblanch, the Pope avoids the issue of child abuse in Easter address, and the Mayor of San Francisco wants to ban sitting on the sidewalk.

Archbishops and Cardinals all over Europe has apologised today over the failings of the Catholic church in handling the child abuse cases. The Pope however completely avoided the issue in his Easter address, we have the reaction from the Times' religious affairs editor.
