Good evening. stories on the BBC News Channel.

In churches around the West this Easter Sunday,

a common theme has been expressed - of hope - in times of darkness.

Senior church figures said - like the Archbishop

of Canterbury today - that terror and despair should not

While their Easter messages acknowledged many are fearful

about our changing world, they also spoke of optimism.

It would be very difficult for everybody to draw the kind

of cultural map of our country and indeed the Western world

at the moment and not see huge swathes of uncertainty.

At the heart of the Christian message is a message about hope.

Life's most uncertain things can be lived with and can be transformed.

People are feeling often quite fearful, they are aware of change

which is not in their control, they are aware of uncertainty

and what I want to be saying to people at Easter is that in many

ways Easter is all about change, but it is change that is

It is change which is about hope and life.

Councils in Somerset are teaching their licensed taxi

Things like child passengers being frightened, adults

seeming nervous or forceful towards the child with them,

and journeys being taken at odd times for a child to be travelling

More than 160 drivers have attended a free half-day course so far.

The council also hopes to train staff in pubs,

clubs and takeaways where young people could be targeted.

If I see anything that I think is suspicious,

I know that I can phone the council, they will then pass it

on to relevant people who will know how to deal with it professionally.

If I inform them, then I start the first link in the chain.

The police hope the face-to-face training will now be rolled out

Taxi drivers have felt uncomfortable about the situation

they find themselves in, it may be a fare with an adult

and a child that they are not comfortable with, but they did not

know really what to do and they might have just told

a friend or a family member about that uncomfortableness.

Now there is proper guidance about what they can do.

It is hoped as more taxi drivers learn to spot children at risk,

reports to the police and ultimately prosecutions will increase.
