Germany's Justice Minister has criticised the country's Catholic Church for halting its investigation into a sex abuse scandal - saying it should not end up as a "half hearted" affair to clear up allegations. This comes as Catholic bishops fired the lead investigator who was writing a report on abuse allegations going back years. These allegations first surfaced in 2010 - since then thousands of people have come forward saying they were abused by priests.
