Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has resigned following a report criticizing his failure to report child abuse by John Smyth, an associate of the Church of England. Welby’s resignation, described as unprecedented in the church’s history, comes amid public outcry from victims and clergy. Hospital chiefs in the UK may face dismissal for failing to address waiting times, while former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called for a reassessment of child benefit policies, emphasizing the need to address child poverty more urgently than pensioner poverty.
