hello. we're still here. and so are you. so, welcome. i hope you're well. we are and we been working ha rd well. we are and we been working hard ona well. we are and we been working hard on a new look agree to that will work when week can't get out and about as much. so, my living room is also my studio and welcome to my sofa. the good news is, you don'tjust get to look inside my house. we get to look inside lara's as well. let's go there now. hello made, how have you been? i'm 0k. and actually been busy, albeit nationally. luckily, like you, i have wannabes in my house. is funny that, isn't it? how are youright, thanks. i think we both appreciate that we are lucky to still be working which keeps us busy and keeps us in a good frame of mind. i am missing the people that i can't be with and we are all adjusting here as well. these are strange times. what we plan to do in the next few weeks is look at some technologies and gadgets that will
3:35 am
help you during lockdown. whether thatis help you during lockdown. whether that is to help you work or communicate or play or to help with the kids. 0r communicate or play or to help with the kids. or to relieve stress which is what we're going to do first because this is an anxious situation. you have got something that might help, right?|j situation. you have got something that might help, right? i have. this isa that might help, right? i have. this is a sleep robot. the idea is that it sort of briefs next year as you consulate —— cuddle it. it's a for insomniacs, it has an excel barometer and a c02 sensor and will track breathing rate of the user and it will breed a fair bit slower than the person using it. the idea being that if you're breathing rate drops then you're more likely to get off to sleep easily. i don't have the greatest time with it. it's felt quite odd holding onto it. it really did. i put on the floor and what was even stranger, it was breathing down on the floor. the thing i do have to say that when i tested it in the daytime on its relaxation mode, it did feel a little bit more like going to a yoga class and getting your breathing right lap. i can
3:36 am
certainly see the relaxation purpose and maybe if i was a real insomniacs, it could help. and there are so many ways that we are seeing technology being used at the time of this pandemic. as the virus continues to spread, some governments around the world have launched contact tracing apps which they hope may help control it. in israel, the shield up records gps locations, storing that data locally ona locations, storing that data locally on a user ‘s device. so somebody gets the virus, they are asked if they are happy to share their data with the platform so anyone they may have been in contact with can be notified. in singapore, the phrase together up is hoping to do the same but using bluetooth signals to monitor uses phones that have been at nearby stop this method, some argue, is more privacy conscious. at nearby stop this method, some argue, is more privacy consciouslj downloaded argue, is more privacy conscious.” downloaded the app because it is just easierfor the downloaded the app because it is just easier for the contact traces
3:37 am
to co nta ct just easier for the contact traces to contact me or i can help them to contact other people if i was actually affected. until these apps, contact tracing had been a very manual process. the personal has been well in us to answer your questions. we must be able to list down the details of where he went and the things he did. and often, he cannot remember what happened. the more we see those details, the more we can't control the epidemic effectively. many more countries are looking to launch contact tracing apps stop while the uk is considering a similar want singapore, the eu is advocating a single app with data protection at its heart. for many, religion offers some spiritual calm but of course, at the moment, communities can't get together in the way that they normally would. yes, so religious leaders are doing what they can to work around this. this muslim prayer
3:38 am
in egypt has been replaced by a message urging people to stay home and pray. and the jewish festival of passover started this week and that has been looking a little different too. the rabbi he has been doing his best to connect with his community online. as well as videos of what would be happening in synagogue, here, he is demonstrating how the seder, the first dinner of passover is set up stop and this easter's sunday service will also be different. sofia smith has been finding out how religions are adapting. with mass gatherings being banned, many religions have had to stop public worship. and with churches closing, many have had to be particularly innovative with some turning to live streaming. good morning everybody. this is terribly exciting. saint james 's in sussex gardens in london is one of the
3:39 am
churches that has been experimenting online. we were determines that the worshipping life of the church should continue but it would have to continue in new and unexpected ways. when the coronavirus crisis started, they began live streaming their services on facebook. but they haven't stopped at that stop we have a large group of families, a large number of children, so we wanted to provide something that would speak to them, comfort them, encourage them and build them up in the faith. so yes, we threw our hat into a rather madcap virtual sunday school. its palm sunday. every week, we send out an its palm sunday. every week, we send outan e its palm sunday. every week, we send out an e sunday which contains the readings for the day and other notices and other devotional materials and also an activity. so families download the activity. we going to make... this week, we made
3:40 am
a cross going to make... this week, we made a cross for easter. for palm sunday. and then about two weeks ago, we made this virgin mary. it's been a lovely way to maintain continuity now that's normal life has been... isa now that's normal life has been... is a bit ofa now that's normal life has been... is a bit of a hiatus in normal life and it's been a lovely weight to maintaina and it's been a lovely weight to maintain a sense of normality. there's been a focus on web resources like a church du .com, which is our church finder. it has been a really, really key resource for us. in recent weeks, we have more than 3000 live streamed services listed on that site. as someone who is a regular church—goer myself, i can't wait for that day went on that sunday, i can walk back into my church and see families, loved ones and friends for the first time. i got slightly emotional about that. all of these digital responses to this crisis have undoubtedly
3:41 am
changed how people interact with a from one. but will be interesting to see is how many people remain after the crisis is over? that was sophia smith and i'm joined online now by the archbishop of canterbury. archbishop, justin, thank you for taking the time to talk to us. great pleasure to be with you. i am very happy to be here. wejust talked about some of the new, online tools and services that the church is providing. how do you think they will benefit people? you will have seen and i know you have seen, churches using live streaming which is having a huge impact. i was at a service a couple of weeks ago that reached 12 million people. ten times our normal number of total church attendance. it is remarkable. you can begin to do that in the past —— couldn't begin to. the best you couldn't begin to. the best you could have is a nationally televised
3:42 am
service. here, you can have everything from a nationally televised service to somebody that is just relevant to your visual edge —— village, town, your city, you're pa rt —— village, town, your city, you're part of the world. or you can join in something from anywhere in the world. we had comments from something i did online, i won't say from work, but a country where it is very difficult to be a christian in public. you are not allowed to worship or own yourfaith in public. they had a message saying, i haven't been able to go to church but i've justjoined in a service with the archbishop of canterbury. there is a cloud to every silver lining but i think it was the service that mattered. that's a technology that is transforming the reach, the ability to comforts, console and encourage. it is a time of several religious festivals at the moment, it is easter, passover, ramadan.
3:43 am
traditionally a time when families and friends will get together. there will be people who want to come to a church. what would you say to them? well, what i would say to them is, you know, that is me as well. the idea of not being as an easter service, i can't remember any time i've not been at an easter service in the last, more than a0 years. and so, it is going to be very strange but in the earliest centuries of christian history, church was in the home. and these wonderful buildings we have in the uk, these amazing historical buildings, our treasures but they are not essentials. we cannot worship and christians all over the world do, without buildings. the technology side is giving us a sense of a resurrection
3:44 am
of generosity, of contact. of care for want another. —— one another. and the challenge and the hope is what we're doing for each other now, and that sense of mutual compassion and that sense of mutual compassion and support that technologies are enabling, will be carried on in the new world after this pandemic has died down. justin welby, the archbishop of canterbury. thanks so much for your time. thank you, spencer, very much indeed. that's it for the short cut of this rather unusual programme but i think we pulled it off, didn't we?” unusual programme but i think we pulled it off, didn't we? i hope so. the full—length version can be found on the bbc iplayer. as ever, you can keep track of what the team are looking up. we are a little less out and about than usual. 0n looking up. we are a little less out and about than usual. on facebook, instagram, youtube and twitter at bbc click. thank you very much for watching and if it's all right if
3:45 am
you, we will see you again soon. stay safe, stay well.
