Presbyterian Moderator Resigns, COP30 Update, German Remembrance Day

Sunday Sequence

Expires today 9:00am

The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland has stepped down after "serious and significant failings" in safeguarding. The Rev Trevor Gribben said "people have been placed at risk" due to the failings in its processes between 2009 and 2022. We look at the wider implications of the story and ask whether an outside body needs to lead the denominations safeguarding process. The COP 30 meetings in Brazil are at the end of the first week. Sinead Loughran from Trocaire updates us on how things are going. Closer to home what can we do to encourage sustainability in our food system. Audrey talks to Beth Bell from Belfast Sustainability Partnership and Louise Ferguson from The Larder Community Foodbank about small changes we can all make. And this Sunday is German Remembrance Day but commemoration of the war dead is much more complex because of its 20th Century history. Audrey talks to Hamburg based journalist Jenny Witt.
