here is what he shared with us. i felt when i saw the channel 4 interview last thursday, that justin was in an extremely uncomfortable position, that wasn't going to be satisfactory for him, for the church orfor the victims., so i felt at that point that really, the right thing to do was for him to resign and step aside. as the weekend went on, and nothing happened, i began to reflect on the advice that he was getting and thinking maybe the advice he is getting isn't the right advice, that is why i wrote to him yesterday morning, and then with the petition out i thought i don't want to sign the petition, i am i don't want to sign the petition, iam not i don't want to sign the petition, i am not a petition person, but i do want to share my reasoning and that is why i wrote an article yesterday, so i do feel this was going to happen at some point. this afternoon i feel a combination of relief and sadness, multiple

forms of sadness that it has come to this, but i think the right and inevitable thing has happened. right and inevitable thing has happened-— happened. you talk about sadness _ happened. you talk about sadness and _ happened. you talk about sadness and relief. - happened. you talk about sadness and relief. you . happened. you talk about - sadness and relief. you would have been listening to a previous guest talking about the layers of problems and issues that this is the result for the church. do you agree with most of that, and in terms of going forward, how should the church approach this? i think we need more time to think we need more time to think through what the best analysis to put on this is. i think what we are looking at here is a very particular issue, the consequences of which made all aspects of the story put together, in the way it was presented in the equity report, meant that the archbishop is my position was untenable. ifelt archbishop is my position was untenable. i felt reading that report, looking at the
4:47 pm
documents from the 1980s, the report that was covered up, and some of the correspondence around that, and the way in which decisions are made in unaccountable rooms by people known to each other by their initials and so on, i thought thatis initials and so on, i thought that is a culture which we have entirely eradicated. —— have not entirely eradicated. —— have entirely eradicated. —— have not entirely eradicated. this was an assessment of a this was an assessment of a research fellow from oxford. my research fellow from oxford. my initial initial research fellow from oxford. ij�*i initial reflection research fellow from oxford. ij�*i1: initial reflection is research fellow from oxford. ii1: initial reflection is one research fellow from oxford. ij�*i1: research fellow from oxford. i’i1: initial reflection research fellow from oxford. ii: initial reflection is research fellow from oxford. ii1 initial reflection is one of initial reflection is one of sadness, festival and entirely sadness, festival and entirely foremost for the victims of foremost for the victims of abuse, who ought to be at the abuse, who ought to be at the front of our thoughts, even as front of our thoughts, even as commentary today wages. , commentary today wages. , front of our thoughts, even as commentary today wages., but front of our thoughts, even as commentary today wages., but also sadness for an also sadness for an institutional response that has institutional response that has clearly been flawed, and has clearly been flawed, and has re—traumatised victims over the re—traumatised victims over the last few years. and indeed for last few years. and indeed for members and clergy in the members and clergy in the church of england, who do
4:48 pm
indeed wish to treat safeguarding as their foremost priority and for him robust and coherent structures are in place. this has been a difficult institutional response for many members of the church of england to digest. , in terms of that
4:49 pm
after 2013, crucial period after 2013, i think we have seen institutional floors, think we have seen institutionalfloors, and in institutional floors, and in particular a institutionalfloors, and in particular a certain lack of curiosity on the part of senior church of england officials, who could have inquired much more speedily and with more urgency into a situation that evenif urgency into a situation that even if it wasn't entirely clear in that moment, should have raised red flags. more on that sto in raised red flags. more on that story in about _ raised red flags. more on that story in about ten _ raised red flags. more on that story in about ten minutes' i story in about ten minutes' time. let's turn to the cop 29 climate conference which is taking place in baku. our climate correspond it is there for us. she sent us this report semi—up what is happening at the conference so far. it semi-up what is happening at the conference so far.- the conference so far. it has been a day _ the conference so far. it has been a day of _ the conference so far. it has been a day of big _ the conference so far. it has been a day of big speechesl the conference so far. it has - been a day of big speeches here at the un climate conference in baku. world leaders gathered in these rooms here to talk about climate change and the urgent need for action. the host president raised eyebrows when he said oil had been a gift

from god to his country azerbaijan, and then we heard from the un secretary—general, and he said that time is running out at the clock is ticking to take action. the uk prime minister here starmer pledged that the uk would reduce its emissions by 2035, it is a big ambitious pledge that has got some people talking here, but it remains to be seen how exactly that would be seen how exactly that would be done. and then behind the scenes, the diplomats from the nearly 200 countries assembled here, will be trying to thrash out a deal. that deal could be much more money from richer nations to poorer nations to help them implement their climate policies, but in a world with many geopolitical problems and a short time cash, that could be a difficult negotiation indeed. there is about ten days left of these talks, and we expect things to get harder in the days to come. it remains to be seen if a deal can be reached at cop 29 in
4:51 pm
azerbaijan. can be reached at cop 29 in azerbaijan-— can be reached at cop 29 in azerbaijan. azerbai'an. that is the latest from azerbaijan. that is the latest from bakm _ azerbaijan. that is the latest from baku. head _ azerbaijan. that is the latest from baku. head to - azerbaijan. that is the latest from baku. head to the - azerbaijan. that is the latest - from baku. head to the website, a life page with the latest. a survivor of the manchester arena attack says he hopes a successful legal action against a man who claimed the bombing was a hoax will help to deter trolls in the future. our disinformation correspondent marianna spring reports. is it that way? it's here, it's here. this is the moment i confronted conspiracy theorist richard d hall back in 2022 at a market stall where he sold books and dvds promoting conspiracy theories, including that the manchester arena bombing was staged. whispers: i can see him. ok, ready? hi. hi, richard. it's marianna spring from the bbc. i wondered if you'd be up for answering some questions? no, thank you. do you not want to talk about the evidence? talk about the... no.
4:52 pm
not at all? no, i don't want to talk about anything. i just want to ask you about whether you really believe these theories. do you really believe that the uk terror attacks are staged? do you really believe that? and do you understand that the harm that this can cause to the victims who are the survivors of these attacks, who are at the heart of those theories, who are being targeted? do you realise that? i've told you that i don't wish to speak to you, and i've told you why i don't wish to speak to you. martinjoins us now on the sofa alongside solicitor... _ he's the man that one of the survivors of that attack, martin hibbert, here with his lawyer, have sued for harassment and won. this was a landmark case. it was a comprehensive victory. so actually, it sets a precedent, and hopefully it helps others. but hopefully what it also does is it puts doubt into the trolls and the conspiracy theorists, when they're about to write something that they go, "you know what, what i'm going to write potentially could be viewed as harassment and i could be in trouble here."
4:53 pm
so if it does that, then it changes the world. it really does. richard d hall was sharing videos and had even written a book about the manchester arena bombing in 2017, which killed 22 people. only he was describing how he tracks down survivors at their homes and workplaces to see if they were lying about what had happened to them. those he targeted included martin and eve, who were left with life—changing injuries following the attack. it was last friday the case concluded with the judge awarding martin hibbert £45,000 in damages. legal action, though, can be expensive. if i can help others, you know, bring down, you know, the bad people who want to go after people that have been involved in tragedies, then that would be a nice thing to be done. now martin, along with his legal team, are looking for new ways to be able to support others looking for justice from conspiracy theorists. marianna spring, bbc news.

environmental campaigners have kicked off a legal challenge against a decision to approve drilling in the uk's largest untapped oil field. they want to stop the development of rosebank off shetland — as well as the jackdaw gas field in the north sea. our scotland editorjames cook is following the case and explained more. before any oil and gas project can be approved, and environmental impact assessment needs to be carried out. it used to be the case that those assessments would factor in the climate emissions caused by drilling for oil, but not the eventual emissions caused when that oil and gas was burned. earlier this year the uk supreme court in a separate case ruled that both needed to be taken into account, and now what we are hearing is environmental campaigners here at the court of session in edinburgh arguing that logic should be applied to rosebank

weather. hello, in the sunniest spots temperatures got up to 13 or iii degrees. not so when mist enfield lingered for a good part of the day. the next few days will bring more mist and mark and falk, and it will be great, but it should be largely dry. through tonight, we will sea fog reforming across parts of northern ireland, southern scotland, parts of northern england, wales, the midlands as well, some showers running across the far south—east of england and the channel islands and it will stay busy here, another cold night where skies are clear and windsor light, but milder in the north west of scotland because we will see a fantasist and push its way in and that will bring more generally cloudy weather, and you can see that band of cloud, maybe even some spots of rain sinking southwards across scotland. it is going to be a pretty gloomy day for northern ireland after a foggy start for

some, and a lot of cloud rolling in from the north. cloud for the isle of man into north—west england, north wales, parts of the midlands, the best of the sunshine done to the south, and temperatures are most of us around 11, 12 or 13 degrees, there is to's weather it looks very similar, large amounts of cloud, some spots of drizzle and bestie are murky in places, some bright or sunny spells, and temperature —wise, highs of around 11 or 12 degrees, maybe iii degrees and a few places. for friday, very cloudy weather, some bright sunny spells, but a change up towards the north, the winds will be strengthening in the north—west of scotland and we will sip some outbreaks of rain started to patient, and an approaching weather front much worse sink its way southwards as we had to really recant, behind that, we will see an area of low pressure developing which will turn things and settles, particularly by sunday, showers of longer
