What the hell is going on right now? And why is it happening like this? At Wired, we're obsessed with getting to the bottom of those questions, and maybe you are too. I'm Katie Drummond, the global editorial director of Wired, and I'm hosting our new podcast series, The Big Interview. Each week, I'll sit down with some of the most interesting, provocative, and influential people who are shaping our right now.

Listen to the big interview right now in the same place you find Wyard's Uncanny Valley podcast.

The Church of England picks the first ever woman to be the Archbishop of Canterbury at an especially hard time to be in that role.

The kind of more worldwide existence of the Anglican Church, beyond the Church of England, is very fractured and kind of hanging on by a thread.

I'm Carolyn Beeler. We'll hear more about the new Archbishop, and in Egypt,

rent control is going away. It's injustice, says this Cairo resident who's worried about eviction.

Zimbabwe's plans to become a blueberry exporter and why the WNBA is full of global talent.

I kind of had this future vision.

If I wanted to be the best, I have to be in America and I need to compete against the best because I'm not about to measure myself against people that are not on the top.

All that and more ahead on the world.

This is The World. I'm Carolyn Beeler. Thank you so much for joining us today. The Church of England made history today by naming the first woman ever as Archbishop of Canterbury. Sarah Malali will become the spiritual head of the global Anglican church when she's confirmed early next year.

She had been the Bishop of London, and before that, a nurse.

King Charles and the British Prime Minister Kier Starmar both welcomed Malawi's appointment.

But a conservative group of Anglicans from across Africa and Asia said the choice showed that the English branch of the church is not fit to lead. That group does not support women becoming bishops. Speaking at Canterbury Cathedral

today, Malali mentioned Thursday's deadly attack at a synagogue in Manchester, England.

We are witnessing hatred that arises up through fractures across our communities.

I know that the God who is with us draws near to those who suffer.

We then, as a church, have a responsibility to be a people who stand with the Jewish community

against anti-Semitism in all its forms.

Hatred and racism of any kind cannot be allowed to tear us apart.
