The Vatican is to put its former envoy to the Dominican Republic, Jozef Wesolowski, on trial on child sex abuse and child pornography charges.

Pope Francis has also accepted the resignations of a US archbishop and his deputy, accused in Minnesota of having ignored a priest's child abuse.

Jozef Wesolowski is accused of having sexually abused children in the Dominican Republic in 2008-2013. He is under house arrest in the Vatican.

The trial is to begin on 11 July.

He is also charged with possession of child pornography, dating from his return to Rome in 2013.
