The late gospel singer’s estate and film producers said on Monday that Amazing Grace would air on November 12 at the DOC NYC film festival in New York City, with the full support of Franklin’s estate.

The film, largely shot by Sydney Pollack, captures Franklin’s performance at the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles’ Watts neighbourhood in January 1972.

The music from the two performances was released as a landmark double live album in 1972. But Pollack’s footage proved virtually impossible to edit because the filmmaker failed to sync the sound.

After acquiring the film’s rights from Pollack in 2007, producer Alan Elliott brought in a team to construct the film, which Elliott calls “a labour of love”.

“Aretha’s fans will be enthralled by every moment of the film as her genius, her devotion to God and her spirit are present in every frame,” he said in a statement.

Franklin first sued Elliott in 2011 for planning to release the film without her permission.

Amazing Grace nearly saw the light of day in 2015, but it was yanked at the last minute from the Telluride and Toronto film festivals after Franklin’s lawyers obtained an injunction against its release.

They argued the film was “the functional equivalent of replaying an entire Aretha Franklin concert”, and could not be screened without her consent.

The debt-counselling charity welcomed news an energy price cap on gas and electricity tariffs will come into force on 1st January 2019 but said vulnerable customers on pre-payment meters required extra help.

Social policy and relationship manager, Rachel Gregory said: “It also is a rational for going one step further again and looking at how we can really help people that can’t afford their energy bills, even with this price cap…”

CAP said extra help for households needing to pay for their energy upfront was a priority in their discussions with suppliers, the regulator Ofgem and the Government.

Rachel Gregory added: “It’s not necessarily one single silver bullet; which is why we’re having loads of conversations… about a full range of packages of support…”

Ofgem said eleven million households will save up to £120 each when the new cap on standard variable tariffs comes in effect next year – saving customers around £1 billion collectively.

The regulatory body said the cap will initially be set at £1,137 per year for a typical dual fuel customer paying by direct debit – saving households around £76 per year on average.

That means 80 per cent of congregations are involved in one or more forms of social action.

The biggest area of work is in food banks – with 60 per cent, or nearly 8,000 churches – involved in either running or supporting food banks through volunteers, donations and providing venues.

Nearly a third of Church of England churches run or support parent and toddler groups; just over a quarter lunch clubs; and 22 per cent, community cafes. Holiday clubs and breakfast clubs, often providing meals to children from low income families, are supported or run by nearly 17 per cent of churches.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said: “From food banks to debt counselling and lunch clubs to language classes, these figures spell out for the first time the sheer scale and range of our churches’ commitment to their communities.

“We are doing more to love and help people in need than at any time since 1945.

“We don’t just do this to be ‘nice’ but because our faith in Jesus Christ compels us to act.”

The Bishop of Rochester, Rt Rev James Langstaff told Premier: “We have a great many projects, debt advice projects, foodbanks, initiatives in dementia care, initiatives around fostering and adoption – promoting those opportunities, a whole range of things.

“At one level it’s good news, but it’s also deeply worrying that we are having to do this, but it’s in our DNA, it’s what we…

Saiful Mulook told reporters at The Hague that he had no idea where Asia Bibi was.

He said local United Nations staff urged him to leave the country on Saturday following her acquittal by the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

“I was put on a plane against my wishes,” Mulook said.

“I am not happy to be without her. I would have been much happier if I was in the same place as her. But everybody said I was a prime target.”

Bibi was convicted in 2010 of blasphemy and sentenced to death after being accused of insulting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. She has always denied any wrongdoing.

Supporters of Pakistani radical groups burn a poster of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Since news of her release spread, more than 11,000 people have protested on the streets of several major cities in Pakistan. On Friday, 5,000 Islamists gathered in the capital Islamabad calling for the public execution of the mother-of-five.

Some of the protesters also called for the judges in the case to be killed.

Mulook said he hadn’t been informed “for security reasons” whether Bibi remained in police custody or where she would want to seek asylum.

France and Spain have offered Bibi asylum.
