Revelations of paedophilia within the Irish Catholic Church have rocked the institution.

Pope Benedict has written a pastoral letter to the Catholics of Ireland with guidelines on preventing and punishing sexual abuse of children by priests. The letter will be published by the Vatican on Saturday and read at Sunday Mass.

However the allegations of child abuse are not confined to the Irish Catholic Church and more abuse claims have been emerging across Europe, turning this into a worldwide problem.

Some long-time observers of the Vatican say they've never seen a graver crisis affecting the Church.

Tonight our reporter Paraic O'Brien asks, what can the Catholic Church do to recover its moral authority?

We'll have the latest on the BA strike due to start tomorrow.

Plus our science editor Susan Watts reports on the continuing fight for compensation from the government by British haemophiliacs who contracted HIV and Hepatitis C after being given contaminated blood.

Join Gavin at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
