Theresa May has said at the One Planet Summit in Paris that the UK will host an international Zero Emission Vehicle Summit in Autumn 2018 which will gather industry leaders from across the world to promote the electric vehicle industry.

May’s also announced funding of £140 million to boost to poorer communities around the world which are disproportionately affected by climate change.

Christian Aid’s International Climate Lead, Mohamed Adow, said: “As the first country to industrialise, the UK has a moral duty to help the world’s poorest people cope with the impacts of climate change they did not cause.

“It is good to see Theresa May putting some of the UK’s money where her mouth is and committing to provide £140m of new funding to help poor communities on the front lines of climate change.”

The UK government wants almost all cars and vehicles to have zero emissions by 2050, something Christian Aid support: “The UK is already a key hub for the manufacture of electric vehicles and it has the potential to be a true world leader in a technology that could reduce carbon emissions and cut fossil fuel use across the globe.”

Adow added: “The UK is striking back at Donald Trump’s misguided promotion of coal by leading the Powering Past Coal Alliance along with Canada and others.”

Donald Trump didn’t attend the conference.

Theresa May said in Paris on Tuesday: “By redoubling our efforts to phase out coal, as well as build on our world leading electric car…

The proportion scoring worse than a good ranking rose from 31 per cent to 40 per cent in the last year, Ofsted will reveal in its annual report on Wednesday.

The regulator of UK classrooms said: “A number are highly conservative Christian, Jewish, or Muslim faith schools.

“In some of these schools, the premises are unsafe or squalid.

“The most basic checks are not always in place.”

Inspectors will also report that some independent faith schools, of which there are more than 300 in total, were found to be harbouring “sexist and sectarian literature”.

They warned that an “increasing number” of “conservative” religious schools “are spreading beliefs that clash with British values and equalities laws”.

Ofsted added: “To function effectively, British society depends on some fundamental shared values as well as a culture of mutual tolerance and respect.”

In the annual report, the Chief Inspector of Schools is also expected to reveal that 90 per cent of all primary schools and nearly 80 per cent of all secondary schools are now rated either good or outstanding.

A Christian campaigner has spoken with Premier one month since she engaged with the broadcaster in a fierce interview on ITV’s This Morning which became side-tracked by the topic of homosexuality.

Andrea Williams told Premier: “He really felt that he could get away with speaking like that to me and I don’t think he really realised what he was doing – because it’s such antagonism against God.

“That’s why it’s our job as the Church to find our voice, to speak the truth in the public space.”

Mrs Williams agreed to appear opposite Mr Schofield and co-presenter Holly Willoughby on 13th November to discuss the case of a Christian teacher who was suspended after being accused of addressing a pupil by the wrong gender.

The topic of debate shifted to homosexuality when Mr Schofield asked Mrs Williams whether she would encourage someone identifying as homosexual to seek help.

Mrs Williams answered: “Very often when we see children identifying as homosexual, it is not good for them to live out in such a lifestyle.

“It’s not good for our children to be highly sexualised.”

Philip Schofield said he found the conversation “utterly abhorrent” and finished the segment by stating the show would be returning to 2017 rather than “medieval Britain”.

Commenting on the interview Mrs Williams said Phillip Schofield was “on the offensive” during the interview and his behaviour was “very…
