Notre-Dame reopens, Justin Welby's Lords farewell speech, and faith in Moana 2

Notre-Dame reopens, Justin Welby speech and faith in Moana 2.

Notre-Dame is reopening to the public after 5 years of renovation, following a devastating fire in 2019. But the cathedral is much more than a building - and many secular minded people in France would say that it's much more than a cathedral too. We hear from our Paris Correspondent, Hugh Schofield and commentator Agnes Poirier, author of "Notre Dame - the Soul of France".

The Archbishop of Canterbury has apologised for causing distress after Church of England abuse survivors criticised his House of Lords farewell speech. Jane Chevous, the co-founder of Survivors Voices joins the programme.

The position of women in Afghanistan took another turn for the worse this week as women and girls have told the 成人论坛 they've been banned from nursing and midwifery courses.
