Thank you. Leaders of the Worldwide Anglican Church are meeting in canterbury this week, where proceedings are being overshadowed by the absence of three african bishops. It is in protest of the support of same sex marriages. Our correspondent is at canterbury ca theedial. So this issue of same sex marriage again dividing the church . Yes, good afternoon, yes, the archbishops who are gathered here, they had a meeting yesterday, they were hoping to discuss everything from how to grow the church to Climate Change to social inequality, but here we are discussing the issue of same sex marriage. That is because the archbishops of nigeria, uganda and rwanda have chosen to stay away. Their view is that the American Church and the Scottish Church have both stood away from what they say is the biblical view of marriage, meaning it is a life long union between a man and a woman. And so in protest, they have decided to stay away. Yesterday, there was a service of even song here and prayer for the victims of shooting in america. And the service was actually led by the primate of the American Church, michael curry. Although the American Church and the Scottish Church is now subject to some sort of sanction, so theyre not allowed to ta ke sanction, so theyre not allowed to take part in interfaith or ecumenical dialogue, there is an intention to keep them within the fellowship of the church. Challenging times for the archbishop of canterbury, how does he encourage unity . Well, it is often said that the england footballs managers position is the impossiblejob. I would suggest being archbishop of canterbury comes close. He is trying to hold traditional provinces together with more liberal and western and progressive provinces. That is extremely challenging as you can imagine. His view was quoted in an interview he gave with g0 magazine, in which he was asked, do you think homosexuality is a sin . He said you know very well i cant give a straight answer. The interviewer says you have the ugandan bishops and liberals who believe something very different and you have to try to re coll sign them and reconcile themselves and he said it is irreconcilable. It is a very challenging job as archbishop of canterbury. Thank you and apologies for the glitches on sound. The home secretary said she would ban the sale of acids to under 18s and would limit the sale of other acids. She said there will be a new technology to track down indecent images of children and remove them. My job as home secretary is to make britain safer. I have talked today about terrorism. But it also includes protecting the most vulnerable in society those who have been exploited and made victims of crime, among those who see no escape. Those who have been failed before and whose trust in the system is gone. The injustice they have suffered must not simply be allowed to fade away. The scale of abuse suffered by children over decades in this country is shocking. Before 2010 child sexual abuse was not a sufficient enough prior priority. But as with all crime it is evolving. Technology has made online abuse easier to find and participate in. Through chat room and online forums. It has created way to enable abusers to search out victims in new ways. The National Crime agency say there has been a surge in the volume of child sexual abuse referrals. They say it is one of most challenging threats we face. This is a vile crime. With thousands of victims around the world. Today, i can announce the uk government is investing in a Ground Breaking technology which partners in canada have developed. Its called project arachnid. It is software that crawls across the web. Identifying images of child sexual abuse and getting them taken down at an unprecedented rate. This will enable Internet Companies to search for and destroy illegal images in their systems. We wa nt illegal images in their systems. We want them to start using it as soon as they can. And our question to them will be if not, why not . And i will demand very clear answers. Applause. This is a Global Technology solution to a Global Technology solution to a Global Technology problem. It would not be possible without the effort of partners and Internet Companies around the world. And their efforts are to be commended. But we also know that end to end Encryption Services like whats app are being used by paedophiles. I co not do not accept it right that companies should allow them to operate beyond law enforcement. There are other trends that are worrying. We must require the industry to move faster and more aggressively. They have the resources and there must be greater urgency. If not, the next generation of our children will have needlessly failed. That is not acceptable to me. And i tell you on my watch, that simply will not be happening. Applause. A year ago i stood before you and set out my priority as home secretary. Keeping your neighbourhoods and our country safe. Protecting the vulnerable. Moving at a pace with evolving crime to disrupt it. Where crime is moving online, we are expanding our efforts. With billions invested in Cyber Security and hundreds of millions invested in police transformation, there is a renewed focus on combatting fraud and we are introducing new offences to protect women and girls. We will push lish a consultation outlining how we intend to crackdown on Violent Crime and offensive weapons. It will be added toa offensive weapons. It will be added to a new strat strategy to combat violence. We will prevent children purchasing knives on line and stop people purchasing acid if they dont have a good reason. Acid attacks are revolting. You have seen the pictures of victims that never fully recover. Endless surgeries. Lives ruined. Today im also announcing a new offence to prevent the sale of acids to under 18s. Applause. Given its use in home made exmroe sieves explosives i will limit the sale of sulphuric acid. That is how we will make communities safer. The home secretary addressing the conservative Party Conference in manchester a short time ago. In a moment a summary manchester a short time ago.

The boss of monarch said he is devastated by the collapse of company. The boss of uber will be talking about the decision to not renew the compa nys talking about the decision to not renew the companys licence in london. It has been a tasty quarter for greggs, sales were up more than 84 . It has seen more sales of its Healthy Eating range. More on uber. Its chief executive is in london for talk with the transport bosses after the city refused to renew their licences. Officials say they are worried about a number of things. Theyre worried about background checks and the reporting of criminal offences. The uk is ubers biggest market in europe with 3. 5 million customers in london alone. The company is appealing the ban and its 40 company is appealing the ban and its a0 thousand drivers can continue operating until the end of the appeals process. Yesterday, the companys uk chief said this is nothing to do with the loss of london licence. Anna mccafferty joins us now. What are the options open for uber in they want to hang on to this licence . As you say, they have decided they wish to appeal. They have 21 days to appeal. But i think realistically they will have to look at some of their practices and maybe discussing with tpl mays to make certain modifications. In other words, so before the appeals process is even completed, there will be these behind the scenes negotiations . We suspect so. I suppose it goes on behind closed doors, so we dont know for certain. It could be uber are intending to appeal on their current model. But you would think the comments made by the new chief executive they are hoping for a more constructive dialogue. Lets look at the worst Case Scenario for uber. Can you hear me . Yes i can now for uber the worst Case Scenario, if the official appeals fail, what is their next step . I suppose they may consider other Legal Options to perhaps put ina other Legal Options to perhaps put in a further appeal. But i think they will be looking at trying to make sure that doesnt happen and they continue to operate in london. It may be if the conditions put on them continue here are not something they can accommodate in their business model, they may look as to whether it is place they want to do business. I expect they will want to hang on to the london market if they can. Of course, one of the big issues surrounding uber is the way it hires drivers, whether theyre emmro it hires drivers, whether theyre emmro employees or self employed. How many of that is playing into the problems that uber is having . Officially, the employment tribunal case are distinct from the tfl licence issues. Where there is potential overlap, the tfl reasons for refusing the licence went to Corporate Governance and background checks of driver. If they want to conduct more checks on drivers, that isa conduct more checks on drivers, that is a greater level of control and is maybe pointing to worker status. That is another factor. |j maybe pointing to worker status. That is another factor. I think this one might run and run. Thank you.

Thats a question that the bbcs 100 women season is asking this year. A team of female academics and tech experts have been brought together by the bbc in Silicon Valley to try and find solutions to gender inequality in the workplace. Theyve got until friday before they have to reveal a prototype. Nuala mcgovern reports. Every year, the bbcs 100 women series celebrates the stories of women around the world. This year, we are doing something a little bit different. Over the next month, we are challenging teams of women from across the world to find solutions to some of our biggest problems gender inequality in sport, illiteracy and Sexual Harassment on public transportation. But were starting here the first challenge to tackle in Silicon Valley . The Glass Ceiling. Silicon valley is certainly the front line in the battle for gender equality in the work place. A series of scandals have rocked some of the Big Tech Companies and a recent study showed just one in ten senior positions here are held by women. All of this rings true for sasha and lea, theyre starting their careers in tech here in Silicon Valley and have already experienced routine sexism in some of the smaller firms where they have interned. So this on e male engineer said to me, who was kind of pushing back against something i said, he said, i think hr have really ruined the company culture, if any of us ever said anything rape y to you, sasha, you could tell us. One of them, i drove all the way up to the city, so two hours to do this in person interview and at the very end of it, they told me they didnt think it was a good fit. But the head of recruiting wanted to give me a hug. 100 women has given this team five days to come up with a prototype to tackle gender inequality in the work place and the board room. Now the parameters are very broad. But, this being Silicon Valley, i expect it to be a tech based solution. It could be an app, it could be Wearable Technology it is up to them. But after this meeting today, they have five days to reveal the outcome of their work. One of the things i hope we identify are the microdynamics. So, a lot of times people, when they approach this issue, want a really big solution. Like the Silver Bullet you mentioned . The Silver Bullet. I believe that its how we are treated every day. The dynamics of whether my ideas are valued in a team meeting, or whether when we talk about who did great work, whether my names included in that list. The gender gap has become such a toxic issue here, it is known as the elephant in the valley. We are going to to see what strides we can make in a week.
