And welcome to my sofa. The good news is, you dontjust get to look inside my house. We get to look inside laras as well. Lets go there now. Hello mate, how have you been . Im 0k. Ive actually been pretty busy, albeit virtually. Luckily, like you, i have one of these in my house. Its funny that, isnt it . How are you . Alright, thanks. I think we both appreciate that we are lucky to still be working which keeps us busy and keeps us in a good frame of mind. But, im missing the people that i cant be with and we are all adjusting here as well. These are strange times. What we plan to do in the next few weeks is look at some technologies and gadgets that will help you during lockdown. Whether that is to help you work or communicate or play or to help with the kids. Or to relieve stress, which is what were going to do first because this is an anxious situation. You have got something that might help, right . I have. This is the somnox sleep robot. The idea is that it sort of breathes next to you as you cuddle it. Its designed for insomniacs, it has sensors in it, an accelerometer and a c02 sensor. And it will track the breathing rate of the user and it will breathe a fair bit slower than the person using it. The idea being that if youre breathing rate drops then youre more likely to get off to sleep easily. I didnt have the greatest time with it. It felt quite odd holding onto it. I can imagine, yeah. It really did. I put it on the floor and what was even stranger, it was breathing down on the floor. The thing i do have to say that when i tested it in the daytime on its relaxation mode, it did feel a little bit more like going to a yoga class and getting your breathing right for that. I can certainly see the relaxation purpose and maybe if i was a real insomniac, it could help. And there are so many ways that we are seeing technology being used at the time of this pandemic. As the virus continues to spread, some governments around the world have launched Contact Tracing apps which they hope may help control it. In israel, the shield app records gps location, storing that data locally on a users device. So if somebody gets the virus, theyre asked if they are happy to share their data with the platform, so anyone they may have been in contact with can be notified. In singapore, the trace together app is hoping to do the same but using bluetooth signals to monitor users phones that have been at nearby. This method, some argue, is more privacy conscious. I downloaded the app because it is just easier for the contact tracers to contact me or i can help them to contact other people if i was actually affected. Until these apps, Contact Tracing had been a very manual process. The person must be well enough to answer your questions. He must be able to list down the details of where he went and the things he did. And often, he cannot remember what happened. The more we lose those details, the more we cant control the epidemic effectively. Many more countries are looking to launch Contact Tracing apps. While the uk is considering a similar one to singapore, the eu is advocating a single app with Data Protection at its heart. For many, religion offers some spiritual calm, but of course at the moment, communities cant get together in the way that they normally would. Yes, so religious leaders are doing what they can to work around this. This muslim call to prayer in egypt has been replaced by a message urging people to stay home and pray. And the jewish festival of passover started this week and that has been looking a little different too. The rabbi here has been doing his best to connect with his community online. As well as videos of what would be happening in synagogue, here, hes demonstrating how the seder, the first dinner of passover is set up. And this easters sunday service will also be different. Sophia smith galer has been finding out how religions are adapting. With Mass Gatherings being banned, many religions have had to stop public worship. And with churches closing, many have had to be particularly innovative with some turning to Live Streaming. Good morning everyone. This is terribly exciting. Saint james in Sussex Gardens in london is one of the churches thats been experimenting online. We were determined that the worshipping life of the church should continue but it would have to continue in new and unexpected ways. When the Coronavirus Crisis started, they began Live Streaming their services on facebook. But they havent stopped at that. We have a large group of families, a large number of children, so we wanted to provide something that would speak to them, comfort them, encourage them and build them up in the faith. So yes, we threw our all into a rather madcap virtual sunday school. Its palm sunday. Every week, we send out an e sunday which contains the readings for the day and other notices and other devotional materials, and also an activity. So families download the activity. Were going to make. This week, we made a cross for easter for palm sunday. And then about two weeks ago, we made this virgin mary. Its been a lovely way to maintain continuity now that normal life has been. Theres been a bit of a hiatus in normal life and its been a lovely way to maintain a sense of normality. Theres been a focus on Web Resources like achurchnearyou. Com, which is our church finder. It has been a really, really key resource for us. In recent weeks, we have had more than 3,000 Live Streamed Services listed on that site. As someone who is a regular church goer myself, i cant wait for that day when on that sunday, i can walk back into my church and see families, loved ones and friends for the first time. I got slightly emotional about that. All of these digital responses to this crisis have undoubtedly changed how people interact with faith online. But what will be interesting to see is how much of it will remain after the crisis is over . That was Sophia Smith Galer and im joined online now by the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby. Archbishop justin, thank you for taking the time to talk to us. A great pleasure to be with you. I am very happy to be here. We just talked about some of the new, online tools and services that the church is providing. How do you think they will benefit people . You will have seen and i know you have seen, churches using Live Streaming, which is having a huge impact. There was a service a couple of weeks ago that reached 12 Million People 10 times our normal number of total church attendance. It is remarkable. You couldnt begin to do that in the past, the best you could have was a nationally televised service. Here, you can have everything from a nationally televised service to something that is just relevant to your village, town, your city youre part of the world. Or you canjoin in something from anywhere in the world. We had comments from something i did online, i wont say from where, but a country where its very difficult to be a christian in public. Youre not allowed to worship or own yourfaith in public. They had a message saying, i havent been able to go to church but ive justjoined in a service with the archbishop of canterbury. Theres a cloud to every Silver Lining but i think it was the service that mattered. And so technology is transforming the reach, the ability to comfort, console and encourage. It is a time of several religious festivals at the moment its easter, passover, ramadan. Traditionally a time when families and friends will get together. There will be people who want to come to a church. What would you say to them . Well, what i would say to them is, you know, thats me as well. The idea of not being at an Easter Service. I cant remember any time ive not been at an Easter Service in the last, more than a0 years. And so, it is going to be very strange but in the earliest centuries of christian history, church was in the home. And these wonderful buildings we have in the uk, these amazing historical buildings, our treasures but they are not essentials. We can worship and christians all over the world do, without buildings. The Technology Side is giving us a sense of a resurrection of generosity, of contact. Of care for one another. And the challenge and the hope is what were doing for each other now, and that sense of mutual compassion and support that technologys enabling, will be carried on in the new world after this pandemic has died down. Justin welby, the archbishop of canterbury. Thanks so much for your time. Thank you, spencer, very much indeed. Thats it for the short cut of this rather unusual programme but i think we pulled it off, didnt we . I hope so. The full length version can be found on the bbc iplayer. As ever, you can keep track of what the team are looking at. We are a little less out and about than usual. On facebook, instagram, youtube and twitter at bbc click. Thank you very much for watching and if its all right with you, we will see you again soon. Stay safe, stay well. Quite a big change in the way through the second half of this easter weekend. After a couple of very warm days temperatures are going to be dropping from the north through sunday and particularly on into easter monday. If you heavy downpours and places throughout sunday as well. What a complex weather set up in High Pressure drifting away to the west, low pressure drifting away to the west, low pressure up to the northeast. We really need to worry about is for the wetlands are coming from because as you can see theyre coming from a long way north. The brisk wind as well and spreading south and go through Easter Sunday into easter monday. Certainly a very different feel. But you have to showers and the odd thunderstorm and through this evening into tonight there will then fade so is looking dry and clear spells for the most part. Not a particularly cold night and parts of southeast england ten to two or three degrees. Within a cloud of rainmaking quite erratic progress southeast and we will see ray for a timei southeast and we will see ray for a time i think for parts of Northern Ireland and southern scotland didnt trying to edge into ingle but generally for angular wells that have sunny spells and have to showers into the afternoon. Though showers into the afternoon. Though showers could get really heavy indeed with frequent lightning and pre sd in london and a much cooler feel as we introduce. More of us feel as we introduce. More of us feel the effects of that northeast wind and during monday roger a lot of cloud at the northern and eastern scotla nd of cloud at the northern and eastern scotland down to the eastern side of england. For the rest we have the best of the sunshine. Because the gusts of 50 miles an hour the Channel Islands and look at the temperatures. As her top temperature ina high temperatures. As her top temperature in a high of 14 degrees. As you move through monday night this High Pressure bleat builds stronger across the British Isles and the blues on the chart. With light winds getting cold and quite a right spread across tuesday morning. Pretty cool feeling down tuesday but it does turn warmer later in the week.
