|
 Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to meet chief ministers next week to discuss a controversial land bill in the latest attempt to break the deadlock over the policy, government officials said. As part of its pro-industry agenda, Modi's government has been determined to push through a land bill that seeks to exempt land purchases for certain industrial, housing and infrastructure projects from requiring the consent of 80 percent of landowners. Modi has asked the panel to submit its report at the beginning of the upcoming session, but the committee has appealed for more time.

| Former Vatican ambassador goes on trial in child abuse case |
|
 By Crispian Balmer VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Jozef Wesolowski, a former archbishop and papal ambassador to the Dominican Republic, will go on trial on Saturday accused of child sex offences in a case seen as a test of Pope Francis's drive to clean up the church. It will be the first trial held under rules drawn up by the Argentinian pontiff in an effort to make the clergy accountable for their actions around the world and show that the Vatican is sensitive to widespread anger over repeated abuse scandals. The 66-year-old former Polish archbishop was "apostolic nuncio", or Vatican ambassador, in Santo Domingo for five years and was recalled to Rome in 2013 after local media accused him of paying boys to perform sexual acts.
