This week's resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury has once again cast a spotlight on how the Christian Church as an institution deals with people in its ranks who abuse children in the most horrific of ways. Why is it so difficult for people at the top of religious institutions to instantly know that child abuse is a crime which must be reported to the police? Why are the abusers, rather than the victims, protected? How can the faithful have faith...does the revolution for change have to start at the bottom? Questions not just for the Church: from the BBC to the Post Office to the Metropolitan Police. Is the knee jerk response from institutions at the heart of society self protection? Audrey Carville is joined by theologian Dr Elaine Storkey, Queen's University academic Dr Leon Litvack and political communications consultant, author and former EU diplomat David Harley.

The American people have spoken but what have they said and what will it mean for their country's place in the world and for Europe, the Middle East and the rest of the planet. Are we, in the west, witnessing a new age of sometimes extreme, conservatism where the rich get richer, the poor poorer and the sick and oppressed find few to help them or, could it be that not a lot will change and life, for most, will continue as before? Presenter Claire Graham in conversation with the author, columnist and former Fox News correspondent Cal Thomas, Marion McKeone from the Sunday Business Post and conflict resolution specialist Sara Cook, who's from Indiana but lives in Belfast.

To what extent is Artificial Intelligence part of your life? It has been part of our lives for years, but we are currently witnessing the astonishing strides that it has been making in more recent times. From excelling in complicated tasks to groundbreaking scientific research AI is reshaping our world. (We talked on last week's programme about its developing role in predicting health prognoses and our mortality. That discussion is still available on BBC Sounds) What about its growth in the world of education, the literary world, and its impact on the human brain, particularly those of our younger generations? Will we ultimately have less appreciation and understanding of what's happening in the world around us and how we interact with each other? Will it turn our brains to mush or will it make us smarter? Audrey Carville has been in conversation with Katy Hayward, professor of political sociology at Queen’s University Belfast, theologian, author, and lecturer, Professor Stephen Williams who co-edited the book The Robot Will See You Now; and Dr James Sumner who lectures in the History of Technology at the University of Manchester.

The ability to predict our prognoses is as old as medicine itself. But do the remarkable advances in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning mean that we are now being promised answers to one of life's ultimate questions - when will I die? Analysing our health information, various algorithms do now exist to predict mortality. It's an ethical minefield - both for medical practitioners and ourselves. Could care be curtailed based on predicted life expectancy? Would there be an onus on informing partners or employers about specific health conditions and our prognosis? Could these algorithms worsen health inequalities in our society? Audrey Carville was joined by Manu Thomas (an advanced clinical practitioner, now managing director of Pentafold, a software development company specialising in AI and Data Science), Dr Sara Lorimer (lecturer in Cognitive Psychology at Ulster University), Dr Nisha Sharma (consultant radiologist and director of the Breast Screening Programme for Leeds and Wakefield) and theologian Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick.
