favour, ads country, 106 voted in favour, a.03 against. but country, 106 voted in favour, a.d3 against. but it was the house of clergy which voted 93 in favour and 100 against, those seven volts, which means this report has not been taken note which means this report has not been ta ken note of. which means this report has not been taken note of. what that means is it cannot form the basis of any moves forward for the anglican church in this country. it cannot be referenced again for at least five yea rs. referenced again for at least five years. so to some extent, the last three years of shared conversations, an impassioned debate, a personal plea today from the archbishop of canterbury, failed to achieve what they wanted. and let's remember. the bishops said this was not the end of the process. all they were saying was that at the moment marriage in church should remain a lifelong union between a man and a woman. that was turned over by the house of clergy, who decided that that was insufficiently inclusive. what is

really interesting is that it is the church within that has rejected this report. this is not members of the congregations, who actually would have supported it. it was members of the clergy, who felt it challenged the clergy, who felt it challenged the notion that the church should be open to everybody. i believe it is an embarrassing night for the bishops themselves. to be clear, the house of clergy believe that the report was too liberal, or are not liberal enough? i think one would say not liberal enough. it maintained the status quo. you've got to remember, this process of three years of discussions cost the church more than £300,000. many lesbian and gay christians began to talk intimately in these shared conversations about their personal lives. it was costly, it was also courageous. and when the report was

published last month, they felt that because it maintained the status quo, being that there can be no special blessing of same—sex marriage in church, and no service, 01’ ceremony, marriage in church, and no service, or ceremony, first same—sex marriage in church, they felt betrayed and let them. as far as the house of clergy are concerned, they would argue that they are on the front line, they are talking to parishioners all the time. they are the ones getting their concerns about their place in the church if they are homosexual or lesbian, or from the lg bt they are homosexual or lesbian, or from the lgbt community. do the bishops have to go away and rewrite the report? do we move to a vote? what happens now? clive, you are asking all the right questions! i've just asked three people here who left church house and nobody could give me an answer. the reason for

thatis give me an answer. the reason for that is because this report was supposed to be a foundation document to continue a journey moving forward. because general synod has chosen not to take note of this report, it no longer exists in the consciousness of the church and its considerations of doctrine. so now the house of bishops say they will go away, they will reflect on what has happened. and presumably they will come up with another strategy for discussions of an issue that frankly is not going to go away. i mean, you know that same—sex marriage was legalised in the united kingdom in 2014. and many people in the church feel that the church should reflect the laws of the land. indeed. thank you forjoining us. 0ne indeed. thank you forjoining us. one person is still unaccounted for after an explosion at a block of flats in oxford. the blast destroyed

a 3—storey building and nearby flats we re a 3—storey building and nearby flats were evacuated. emergency services have been at the scene all day and they expect to be there for several days to come. more than 24 hours since the explosion and the search is continuing. dozens of firefighters police and paramedics were called here just before 5pm yesterday. this afternoon, we learned officers had been unable to find one missing person. oxfordshire county council fire and rescue service conducted a search of the collapsed building, which was still on fire at the time. it was determined that the incident around the collapsed site would no longer sustain life, and we moved into a different phase of the incident. at this time, one person is unaccounted for. we are providing ongoing support to that person's

family. neighbouring homes shook and windows smashed. 0ne family. neighbouring homes shook and windows smashed. one man said the boom sounded like scaffolding falling down. my girlfriend said to me, what was that? i looked out the window and the flats had disappeared. the whole block had gone. we heard like an explosion. everyone rushed out to see what it was. i was just everyone rushed out to see what it was. i wasjust watching the telly and it went boom. then it went bang, bang, bang. at least to people have been treated for injury. 0ne bang, bang. at least to people have been treated for injury. one was taken to hospital. 14 residents had to leave their homes and were given refuge overnight at this nearby business school. as you can see, police are still on the scene this evening. they say emergency services will be here in the next few days while they search the rubble and try to establish the exact cause. as always, they are asking anybody with information to contact them.

a woman who says she is desperately unhappy in her 39 year marriage is fighting a legal battle against a court's fighting a legal battle against a cou rt‘s refusal to fighting a legal battle against a court's refusal to grant her a divorce. ten e.0n zaza asked the court of appeal to over turn —— she asked the court of appeal to overturn a decision. i'm joined now byjulian hawkshead, a lawyer. have you come across a case like this before?” a lawyer. have you come across a case like this before? i must say, it is very rare to find a situation where the parties will defend the divorce. there are over 40,000 divorces a year based on behaviour 01’ divorces a year based on behaviour or at. most cases are dealt with on paper these days. both parties will consent and it will go through without any four. this is unusual

and not just because without any four. this is unusual and notjust because the husband has chosen to defend the divorce, but when it has got to the hearing, the judge has indicated he wasn't satisfied there were grounds for divorce in the first place. someone ina divorce in the first place. someone in a marriage saying they are unhappy and wants to get out, that's clearly not enough? no, it's not. the court has to look at the facts. first of all they have to be persuaded that there are one of five different reasons for the divorce going through. in this particular insta nce going through. in this particular instance it was behaviour. it could be adultery. the party would have to wait for a period of at least two yea rs. wait for a period of at least two years. in that instance, both parties would have to agree to the divorce going through. romney recourses her husband agreeing that the marriage is over and she would have to wait two years? because her husband has objected to the divorce, if she is not success as ——

successful in the court of appeal, she would have to wait five years, by which time his consent isn't needed. it seems bizarre. one wonders why this man would want to stay married to someone who doesn't wa nt to stay married to someone who doesn't want to be with him you are saying this is a rare case. does the fact it is so rare mean the law has not been tested. and as a result it has been tested. and as a result it has been possible for anyone else to say, this is ridiculous? is about how the divorce petition has been presented. the grounds for divorce for about —— based on behaviour. there was nothing in the petition that justified a divorce there was nothing in the petition thatjustified a divorce going through, according to the judge. thatjustified a divorce going through, according to thejudge. he said it was the ordinary case of behaviour within a marriage. when i see people getting divorced, the behaviour described isn't unusual. it's the fact they decided beyond

that the marriage has broken down. do you think this case could give rise to calls for the law to be looked at a little bit more? there are already calls for reform because of the minimum two years of separation. at the moment people will go ahead with the behaviour position because they don't want to wait for two years. if they remove that two—year period and enable people to divorce straightaway, without using behaviour, they would be an opportunity for people to divorce with less acrimony and it would save money as well. thank you for joining would save money as well. thank you forjoining us. 0liver bekker harrison ford has been involved in a near miss while flying his plane in california. he mistakenly landed on a taxiway where an american airlines jet was waiting to ta ke an american airlines jet was waiting to take off. an investigation is under way. there is some flash photography coming up. it's not the hollywood star's first flying mishap. two years ago, he was
