reports. for more than a decade, justin welby has been the master of ceremonies at the centre of british life. i therefore proclaim that they are husband and wife. the wedding of prince harry and meghan. the funeral of queen elizabeth and the coronation that followed. now he's gone — his resignation a moment of history in itself. it's an unprecedented situation. this hasn't happened before in the long, long history of the church of england. and what will be in some ways the bigger challenge is the challenge of systemic safeguarding failings in the church. this is what the report highlights. i'm john smyth. it was the failure of the church to protect boys from this man, john smyth, that ultimately led tojustin welby�*s resignation. smyth has been described as the most prolific serial abuser ever associated with the church of england.

in his resignation statement, mr welby says, "the makin review has exposed the long maintained conspiracy of silence about the heinous abuses ofjohn smyth. it's very clear that i must take personal and institutional responsibility for the long and retraumatising period between 2013 and 2024." it's incumbent upon senior leaders in any organisation, not just the church, to set the tone and model the good behaviour for others in their organisation to follow. and this is, of course, critically true in relation to safeguarding. this may not be the end of the affair for the church of england. the makin review highlights four current serving bishops who also knew about smyth�*s behaviour — something many in the church say now needs to be addressed. where there have been failures in safeguarding practice, those should be investigated. appropriate and proportionate action should be taken with anyone who has failed in safeguarding terms.

justin welby may have gone, but accusations of a cover—up remain. whoever is chosen as the next archbishop knows they will have work to do to regain trust, which is hard won and easily lost. graham satchell, bbc news. our correspondent harry farley, is at lambeth palace. i asked him about the surviours calling for further resignations. many within the church of england are reeling from justin welby�*s resignation as archbishop of canterbury yesterday, unprecedented certainly in modern times for an archbishop to be forced out in that way. he said he did so for the good of the church of england and hopes it demonstrates how seriously the church understands the need for change but as you say, survivors have john change but as you say, survivors havejohn smyth, who was described as the most prolific abuse are to have been associated with the church of

england, survivors of his abuse are saying it was neverjust aboutjustin welby. there are many others across the church of england who knew aboutjohn smythe�*s abuse, most particularly and clearly in the 19805 when the report published last week described an active cover—up but also more recently, serving bishops in the church of england —— my bishops. the deputy leader on the ship on safeguarding, she said there may be others who needs to resign over this. more broadly, the church of england is beginning to turn its attention to who might replace justin welby as archbishop of canterbury. he will be remembered as well as her manner of his departure, remembered as a political archbishop, what it was frequently on the front pages for speaking out on social issues and remember his war on wonga, the payday loan lender earlier running is tender as well as his frequent criticisms

of the previous government over welfare, immigration particularly in the policy to send asylum seekers to rwanda. in terms of who might succeed him, it won't be a quick process but some names in the frame this morning, sources pointing to the bishop of london, a possible contender, two names you may not have heard of, the bishop of chelmsford and the bishop of leicester, martin snow. sources in the church of england telling me they are possibly in the frame to succeed justin welby. that will not be a quick process, it's a long and drawn—out process expected to take many months before we know the next archbishop of canterbury.— the next archbishop of canterbu . �* w , canterbury. breaking news. the ost canterbury. breaking news. the post office _ canterbury. breaking news. the post office has _ canterbury. breaking news. the post office has announced - canterbury. breaking news. the post office has announced that l post office has announced that hundreds ofjobs are to be lost as part of a restructuring. the positions are understood to be going from head office. the remaining crown sites are under threat of closure, too. the new chairman of the post office nigel railton says he wants to

got lots of british postmasters and small—town postmasters that are working for nothing, basically, for very small fees, tiny penny transactions are taking place where they have to do thousands of thousands a day to make a living wage and lots of them are not making a living wage and that needs to be turned on its head. we need to pay the people that are doing their work properly. we need to make sure those people out there this year, next year, and there this year, next year, and the hereafter. and if that means that the business itself has to change at the management level, let's do it. lee castleton. _ level, let's do it. lee castleton. the - level, let's do it. lee - castleton. the government is level, let's do it. lee castleton. the government is to announce an independent review into rail prosecutions following a number of cases where train companies are taking disproportionate action against passengers. last month against passengers. last month a graduate from manchester face prosecution after mistakenly paying £1.90 less for a ticket and it should have. our transport correspondent reports. these ticket
