Church inquiry into Bishop Peter Ball abuse 'cover up'

The Church of England has announced an independent inquiry into allegations of a cover up of sexual abuse in the church.

It will look at whether the behaviour of a former Bishop of Gloucester, Peter Ball, was overlooked because of his connections within the church and the establishment.

The 83 year old has now been found guilty of a string of sexual offences and will be sentenced later this week.
