Nuremberg, Germany - Richard Williamson, the British-born Catholic who denies the evidence for the Holocaust, lost a court case Monday in Germany in which he tried to prevent the broadcasting of his views.

He gave the interview year in Zaitzkofen, Germany to a Swedish television company, Sveriges Television AB.

His lawyers demanded an urgent injunction from the Nuremberg and Fuerth state court to make the TV company remove the video sequence from its web page and cease licensing the interview for worldwide use, a court spokesman said.

Buenos Aires  - A conservative Catholic bishop who is at the centre of a controversy over his denying the Holocaust was relieved as head of a seminary near the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires, the DyN news agency said Sunday.

Hamburg  - An arch-conservative bishop whose remarks on the Holocaust plunged the Vatican into crisis is refusing to recant, according to an interview with a German magazine released Saturday.

Bishop Richard Williamson told the news weekly Der Spiegel he wanted first to examine the historical evidence against his claims that no Jews were gassed in the Holocaust.

"And if I find such evidence then I will correct my remarks. But that will take time," the controversial member of the traditionalist St Pius X Society said.
