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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ they've been banned from nursing and midwifery courses.
