1 hour

Sunday 12th October

It鈥檚 reported that leading global health experts underestimated the extent of the current outbreak of 聽Ebola. 聽聽As the government orders screening for the聽disease聽at Heathrow, Gatwick and Eurostar terminals in the UK, Sunday Morning Live asks:聽Were we too slow to act on Ebola in Africa?

Also on the programme:

As Pope Francis oversees聽an extraordinary synod on the family, some commentators believe the Catholic church could be on the verge of revolution.聽 But has anything likely to change or is it all just good PR? We ask:聽Is Pope Francis a revolutionary?

Comedian聽Jim Davidson has just spent what he describes as the worst year of his life 鈥� as a suspect of sexual abuse, with allegations from adult women dating back more than 20 years.聽 None were proved and Jim talks to Sian Williams about how his faith in God helped him through.

And the Bishop of Salisbury, the Right Reverend Nicholas Holtam, just appointed Church of England's lead bishop on environmental issues,聽tells us why Christians have a moral duty to care for the environment. 聽But - if so -聽can we be trusted as `stewards of the earth`?

Among the guests joining Sian Williams are: playwright Bonnie Greer; radio talk show host Nick Ferrari; 聽former Dominican Friar, now broadcaster, Mark Dowd; and comedian and campaigner Kate Smurthwaite.
