Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nicholls on Syria, women bishops and second wives.

Archbishop Vincent Nicholls on Syria, the rise in second wives in the Muslim Community, and will the Church of Wales vote in favour of women bishops?

The Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nicholls talks to William about Syria and the need for a peaceful resolution. As Church of England Priests seek to exorcise London Arms Trade Fair we talk to Rev Keith Hebden. Karim Hendili of UNESCO talks about the action they take to limit the looting, trafficking and destruction of ancient religious and cultural sites in Syria and other war zones such as Mali and Iraq. It is widely understood that the number of second wives in Britain's Muslim community is on the rise. We hear from Khola Hassan from the Islamic Sharia Council and Tahmina Saleem from Inspire.

Matt wells reports from the USA on the reaction from faith groups to military action. Parochial church councils are being urged to find out whether their neighbours are personally liable for church repairs under an ancient law. Archbishop Barry Morgan talks to William ahead of the Women Bishops vote in the Church of Wales.
