SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b048znq5 (Listen) SAT The Zhivago Affair, Episode 5 SAT SAT By Peter Finn and Petra CouvĂ©e. SAT SAT It's 1956 and Boris Pasternak presses a manuscript into the SAT hands of an Italian publishing scout with these words, 'This SAT is Doctor Zhivago. May it make its way around the world.' SAT SAT Pasternak knew his novel would never be published in the SAT Soviet Union as the authorities regarded it as seditious, so SAT instead he allowed it to be published in translation all SAT over the world - a highly dangerous act. SAT SAT By 1958 the life of this extraordinary book enters the SAT realms of the spy novel. The CIA, recognising that the Cold SAT War was primarily an ideological battle, published Doctor SAT Zhivago in Russian and smuggled it into the Soviet Union. It SAT was immediately snapped up on the black market. Pasternak SAT was later forced to renounce the Nobel Prize in Literature, SAT igniting worldwide political scandal. SAT SAT With first access to previously classified CIA files, The SAT Zhivago Affair gives an irresistible portrait of Pasternak, SAT and takes us deep into the Cold War, back to a time when SAT literature had the power to shake the world.

Plus, JP SAT Devlin joins the Routemaster bus enthusiasts gathering from SAT around the World to mark the icon's 60th birthday and the SAT outgoing Radio Three Controller and Director of the Proms, SAT Roger Wright, shares his Inheritance Tracks. SAT SAT Julia Donaldson talks about a life spent creating and SAT bringing to life some much-loved children's characters, SAT including the Gruffalo, Tabby McTat and the witch in Room on SAT the Broom. Her latest book 'The Scarecrows' Wedding' is SAT published by Scholastic and is out on the 17th July. SAT SAT In 1998 Matt Lewis was a 23 year old research scientist on SAT the South African trawler the Sudur Havid. His trip to the SAT Antarctic seas was meant to be an opportunity to monitor and SAT study wildlife. Instead it became a battle to survive, after SAT the ship went down in a storm. Matt talks about his SAT experiences, which he's written about in "Last Man Off", SAT serialised on BBC Radio Four. SAT SAT Catrina Davies took her cello on travels of 11,000 miles as SAT she busked around Europe. She gives us tips on the most SAT generous countries, with the biggest coins. She has written SAT a book called 'The Ribbons are for Fearlessness' published SAT by Summersdale. Her EP is called 'Ribbons'. SAT SAT Wirral Cricket Club player Nick Jones talks about what it's SAT like to face humiliation on the pitch. His team 'went viral' SAT after being bowled out for just three runs in a local match SAT against Haslington Cricket Club. Now a rematch gives Wirral SAT the chance to redeem themselves.

SAT SAT The suspicious death of this fabulously wealthy Belgian SAT tycoon - then reportedly the world's third richest man - may SAT well be Punt's most baffling investigation yet. SAT SAT During that fateful flight across the English Channel, SAT Loewenstein got up to go the loo - but somehow ended up SAT falling out of the plane. What exactly happened to him SAT remains a mystery to this day. SAT SAT Was it just an accident, did Loewenstein jump - or was it SAT murder? Punt reopens the case.

SAT SAT That said, it seems barely a day goes by without news coming SAT out of China of yet another high profile sacking - in fact, SAT since coming to power President Xi Jinping has made fighting SAT corruption his top priority. But he has a big battle on his SAT hands, says BBC Beijing reporter Martin Patience, with SAT corruption being so deeply embedded in Chinese culture. SAT SAT Also: In the east of Mexico is the state of Veracruz - an SAT area which has traditionally proved popular with tourists. SAT Today, however, the region is at the centre of a territorial SAT dispute between criminal cartels - although people don't SAT like to talk about it. BBC Mexico correspondent Will Grant SAT discovers a culture of silence when it comes to the violence SAT in the region, with journalists self-censoring and locals SAT wary of speaking out of turn. SAT SAT The Italians, it seems, love a man in uniform and this SAT weekend they will be showing a lot of love for the oldest of SAT the country's multiple police forces - the Carabinieri - SAT which celebrates its 200th anniversary. Dany Mitzman charts SAT their curious place in Italian popular culture. SAT SAT Here in the UK, the ability to speak plain-English is often SAT seen as an asset - especially if you're a politician, or a SAT journalist. In France, however they aspire to something more SAT sophisticated. As BBC Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield has SAT discovered, a flair for Latin is preferred over more simple SAT layman's terms. SAT SAT Germany's football team are now favourites to lift the World SAT Cup, with the team being championed for its sterling team SAT work rather than depending on the efforts of a single solo SAT star, which has characterised so many other teams. Germany SAT is also in with a chance of winning the tournament's SAT fair-play award, in recognition of good sportsmanship. But SAT as BBC Berlin correspondent Stephen Evans reveals, that side SAT of the game is perhaps not such a long-standing German SAT footballing tradition, especially in the days when Berlin SAT was a divided city.

SAT SAT Nancy Carroll stars as Harriette Wilson - one of the most SAT infamous and talked-about women of the early 19th century. SAT Her lovers included aristocrats, adventurers and even the SAT Duke of Wellington, and when they all ceased to support her SAT after her retirement, she had a simple bargain for them - SAT 'pay up, and I'll keep you out of my memoirs'. SAT SAT A scandalous bestseller of their time, her memoirs reveal a SAT sharp-witted, good-hearted, infinitely adaptable, madcap SAT woman who took on the patriarchy of the time and did SAT something close to beating them at their own game. SAT SAT Having finally made contact with the mysterious Lord SAT Ponsonby, Harriette finds there are all kinds of obstacles SAT to their blossoming romance - including the small matter of SAT his wife whom everyone agrees is an angel. Harriette's SAT former lovers, the dashing Duke of Argyll and the taciturn SAT but loyal Duke of Wellington, are never far from the picture SAT and are soon joined by a new, passionate young admirer. The SAT Marquis of Worcester is devoted to Harriette as only a 19 SAT year-old can be. SAT SAT Eventually Harriette is persuaded to reveal all in her SAT memoirs - a course of action which leads Wellington to make SAT one of the most famous remarks in the English Language.

SAT SAT According to family legend, John's great grandmother was a SAT descendant of Jean-Philippe Rameau, a connection evidenced SAT by a shared surname and a bank note in local currency (now SAT lost) linking them to the same small community near Paris. SAT In the 250th anniversary year of the great composer's death, SAT John undertakes a Rameau pilgrimage to Paris, looking for SAT further evidence of whether he is related to the Baroque SAT Master, discovering the importance of Rameau's contribution SAT to classical music, and learning something about his life SAT and sublime music along the way. Very much the SAT philosopher-composer, Rameau caused a stir with his first SAT opera: he was fiercely attacked for his revolutionary use of SAT harmony, and for breaking Lully's mould. For much of his SAT career he seems to have been involved in wars of words over SAT musical ideas, and even, occasionally, unseemly brawls. He SAT was under fire especially during the 'Querelle des SAT Bouffons', a bust-up between the defenders of the French SAT operatic tradition and the champions of Italian music, which SAT included his enemy Rousseau. John attempts to get to know SAT Rameau the musician and the man: strict; secretive; slightly SAT eccentric, and prone to breaking his employment contracts as SAT an organist. His superiors at Clermont cathedral, unwilling SAT to release him 8 years into a 29 year contract, were SAT horrified when Rameau decided to select the most SAT disagreeable stop-combinations and discords possible at the SAT organ during an important Easter service, and let him go. SAT SAT Rooting for Rameau with the help of experts and performers SAT in Britain and Paris, John discovers perhaps Rameau's most SAT significant legacy, his Treatise on Harmony of 1722, which SAT sparked a revolution in music theory. In this tome he used SAT mathematics, analysis and commentary to attempt to derive SAT universal harmonic principles from natural causes, becoming SAT known as the Isaac Newton of Music in the process (a title SAT possibly invented by his friend Voltaire). Rameau's fame SAT spread throughout Europe, and his Treatise formed the SAT foundation for instruction in Western music that persists to SAT this day. Undeterred by this hefty achievement, and having SAT discovered that Rameau did not write his own first opera SAT until he was 50, John has been inspired to begin a musical SAT of his own, and has taken up piano lessons so that he can SAT perform some of Rameau's easiest pieces. We hear the fruits SAT of this endeavour, and a few episodes of reflection through SAT music and poetry of the inspiration John's found in his SAT believed connection to his ancestor, whether true or not. SAT SAT 16:00 Woman's Hour b0495dsw (Listen) SAT Weekend Woman's Hour SAT SAT Keira Knightly moves from costume drama to wannabe pop star SAT in her latest project.

SAT Begin Again is released on 11 July SAT SAT Empathy SAT SAT As part of our SAT Staying Sane SAT series, we look at the role of empathy. There’s plenty of SAT research indicating that being empathetic and altruistic is SAT good for our mental health. But what exactly is empathy? SAT Are we all capable of experiencing it and is it always a SAT good thing? And is it possible to learn to be more SAT empathetic? Graham Music, child and adolescent SAT psychotherapist and author of a The Good Life: Wellbeing and SAT the New Science of Altruism, Selfishness and Immorality, and SAT writer SAT Lesley Jamison SAT author of The Empathy Exams, join Jane in the studio. SAT SAT The Good Life: Wellbeing and the new science of altruism, SAT selfishness and immorality by Graham Music is published by SAT Routledge.

And zoologist Lucy Cooke talks to Jenni about how SAT she managed to popularise the sloth, her love of frogs, and SAT her new programme, SAT Talk to the Animals SAT SAT Triathlons SAT SAT Why have triathlons become such a popular sport for women? SAT When they first started in the States in the mid-70s, they SAT were male-dominated ultra-endurance events, but now they’re SAT becoming more accessible with competitions of varying SAT distances springing up all around the country. Some SAT criticise the sport as being a middle-class sport – but do SAT you need to have a huge bank account for the bike, the SAT tri-suit and the goggles and Chrissie Wellington’s calves of SAT granite, or can anyone do a triathlon? We will hear from an SAT oncologist who has become a professional triathlete and an SAT excited newbie who is competing in her first Ironman SAT competition in a few weeks’ time. SAT SAT Cook the Perfect...Pad Thai Noodles SAT MiMi Aye SAT was born in the UK to Burmese parents and brought up with SAT Burmese sensibilities. Having studied law at Cambridge and SAT trained as a solicitor, she went into publishing. But in SAT 2009 she started the food blog ‘meemalee’ to spread the SAT word about Burmese cuisine and to let off steam about TV SAT cookery shows and Asian dishes on the high street which bore SAT little resemblance to the real thing. Her passion for SAT noodles of all kinds led her to write her first cook book SAT simply called Noodle! She joins Jenni to cook the perfect SAT Pad Thai stir fried noodles. SAT SAT The Art of Social Kissing SAT SAT As the wedding season hits full swing, increasingly it seems SAT the social kiss is becoming the standard greeting even on SAT first introduction. But how many of us are truly comfortable SAT with it?

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b048nkdb (Listen) SAT The Future of the NHS SAT SAT The moral purpose of the NHS was clear to its founders - it SAT should be free at the point of delivery, be based on SAT clinical need, not ability to pay and should meet the needs SAT of everyone. These 3 principals have guided the development SAT of the NHS over more than 60 years and remain at its core, SAT but for how much longer? With an increasingly aging SAT population with multiple and often chronic needs the NHS is SAT facing a £30 billion black hole by the end of the next SAT decade. 15 million people in England have a long term health SAT condition and 70% of the NHS budget is spent caring for SAT them. The NHS in Scotland in the past 3 years has spent SAT nearly £230m on drugs just to treat diabetes and obesity. In SAT Wales 3 health boards have been warned about a £60 million SAT pound overspend while at the same time it's claimed the SAT Principality has the worst waiting times in the UK for life SAT saving diagnostic tests. In a letter to the Times this week SAT a high powered group of doctors, including the leaders from SAT 4 royal colleges, says that the status quo is not an option SAT and that fundamental reforms, including cutting services and SAT charging for others, should now be considered. The NHS is SAT woven deep in to the psyche of our nation, but are its core SAT moral principles still valid? Is it still fair that those SAT who've taken least care of themselves take most out of the SAT system? Can we still afford the moral hazard that it doesn't SAT matter what you do to your body; the NHS will always be SAT there to bail you out? Should health care be rationed? Ill SAT health is often linked to poverty - is it fair to expect the SAT poor to pay, for example, for visits to the GP?

SAT SAT The answer is in the 'Crescent City', New Orleans - because SAT these are all clues to the names of famous streets there. SAT The bowl is Basin Street; the European royal dynasty gives SAT us Bourbon Street and the people over whom they ruled would SAT be Frenchmen Street. The navigable waterway is a clue to SAT Canal Street; and finally something to read would give us SAT Magazine Street. SAT SAT Well done if you worked this out!

SUN SUN From Peter's denial of Jesus, to the failure of financial SUN institutions in times of economic depression, Mark suggests SUN that a crack in a rock need not necessarily be a fatal fault SUN line. From one of the great medieval love stories, he draws SUN from the letters of Heloise castigating her lover Abelard SUN for failing her, while insisting that still only he can be SUN her rock. And he finds a metaphor for our very human SUN tendency to mask our inner weakness with a show of outward SUN strength in the extraordinary phenomenon that is a Prince SUN Rupert's Drop - a tear-shaped drop of glass that can SUN withstand the blows of a hammer to its bulbous end, but will SUN explode into fragments at the slightest twist of its tail. SUN SUN The programme features the song Anthem by Leonard Cohen, SUN which includes the lyrics, "There is a crack in everything, SUN that's how the light gets in". Mark considers if it is ever SUN possible to find perfection or whether, paradoxically, we SUN should use the flaws we come across to strengthen our faith SUN in the people and institutions on which we build our lives.

SUN SUN 06:35 On Your Farm b0495lll (Listen) SUN North Ronaldsay SUN SUN North Ronaldsay is the most northerly of the Orkney Islands SUN and home to a unique breed of sheep. The animals are largely SUN kept on the rocky shore, the ewes brought on to grass only SUN for lambing, and are held on the fringes by a thirteen-mile SUN stone dyke built in 1832 on the orders of the local laird. SUN The more fertile inland fields were then used for beef SUN cattle, which is still the case today, and the sheep thrived SUN on their seaweed diet. SUN SUN Nearly 200 years on, the dyke still plays a crucial role in SUN North Ronaldsay farming, but the population has drastically SUN reduced and farming life on the island has changed beyond SUN recognition. With fewer people able to maintain the dyke and SUN fewer crofters keeping more sheep per head, the SUN responsibility for maintaining this breed, which some say SUN dates back five thousand years, is resting on fewer SUN shoulders. Housing is in short supply on North Ronaldsay, SUN which makes it hard to attract new people, and although SUN there is a primary school, the roll currently stands at only SUN three. SUN SUN What, then, is the future for the island and for the sheep? SUN Moira Hickey finds widespread optimism among the islanders, SUN based on the quality of the meat they produce, the demand SUN for wool spun in the local wool mill and the self-reliance SUN of the population. Transport links are good, the bird SUN observatory brings in a steady stream of visitors and young SUN islanders are choosing to return to live and work where they SUN grew up - so hopes are high that this tiny community can SUN sustain itself and its unique flock of sheep, despite all SUN the many changes that are taking place on and around the SUN island.

SUN SUN Welcome & Introduction: SUN MINISTER: Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father, SUN and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. SUN ALL: And also with you SUN MINISTER: This is the day that the Lord has made SUN ALL: Let us rejoice and be glad in it. SUN SUN MUSIC: HYMN – Oh Worship the King (Hanover) SUN SUN MINISTER: Welcome to ‘the Chapel of Our Lady of Eton SUN beside Windsor’ – a place that has echoed with praise of God SUN for well over five hundred years and has witnessed to God SUN unchanging and ever creating. The Chapel lies at the heart SUN of Eton College, both physically and symbolically. Its SUN grandeur reflects the significance of worship in the life of SUN the college. SUN SUN This morning the (sun)light is flooding through the deep SUN colours of the East window, itself a masterpiece of post-war SUN art with its reds and blues, greens and gold: Christ on the SUN cross and the last supper. SUN The ordinary school term ended a few weeks ago and now a new SUN community of young people from all over the globe has taken SUN up residence in the college: and this week choristers from SUN the Eton Choral course. They are here with friends and SUN family and with congregations from the local communities of SUN Eton Wick and Dorney. SUN SUN MINISTER: We have come together in the name of Christ SUN To offer our praise and thanksgiving, SUN To hear and receive God’s holy word, SUN To pray for the needs of the world, SUN and to seek his forgiveness of our sins, SUN That in the power of the Holy Spirit SUN We may give ourselves to the service of God. SUN SUN SUN We turn our thoughts to God with a prayer by the founder of SUN Eton, Henry VI. SUN O Lord Jesus Christ, who hast created and redeemed me and SUN hast foreordained me unto that which now I am; thou knowest SUN what thou wouldst do with me; do with me according to thy SUN will, in thy mercy.

SUN For it is thou, Lord, thou, Lord only, that makest me dwell SUN in safety. SUN SUN (SS Wesley 1810-1876) SUN SUN The Word SUN SUN MINISTER: The poets of the Old Testament looked for ways of SUN describing a God who offers abundant life: in the natural SUN world and in the transformation of human lives. SUN …………………………………… is taking part in the Choral course and SUN reads. SUN First reading: SUN A Reading from the Book of Isaiah: SUN 10For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do SUN not return there until they have watered the earth, making SUN it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and SUN bread to the eater, 11so shall my word be that goes out from SUN my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall SUN accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing SUN for which I sent it. 12For you shall go out in joy, and be SUN led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you SUN shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall SUN clap their hands. 13Instead of the thorn shall come up the SUN cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and SUN it shall be to the Lord for a memorial, for an everlasting SUN sign that shall not be cut off. SUN (Isaiah 55:10-13) SUN SUN MINISTER: Ralph Vaughan Williams’ setting of George SUN Herbert’s poem - ‘The Call’ is a prayer that we may be SUN touched by that vision of beauty and peace. SUN SUN MUSIC: CHOIR 'The Call' SUN MINISTER: Our gospel reading tells a story of an eager SUN farmer hoping for a rich harvest: SUN SUN Second reading: Robin Blackburn: SUN A Reading from the Gospel of Matthew: SUN 13That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside SUN the sea. 2Such great crowds gathered around him that he got SUN into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on SUN the beach. 3And he told them many things in parables, SUN saying: “Listen! A sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, SUN some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came and ate them SUN up. 5Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not SUN have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had SUN no depth of soil. 6But when the sun rose, they were SUN scorched; and since they had no root, they withered away. SUN 7Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and SUN choked them. 8Other seeds fell on good soil and brought SUN forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. SUN 9Let anyone with ears listen!” 18“Hear then the parable of SUN the sower. 19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and SUN does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away SUN what is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the SUN path. 20As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the SUN one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; SUN 21yet such a person has no root, but endures only for a SUN while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of SUN the word, that person immediately falls away. 22As for what SUN was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, SUN but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the SUN word, and it yields nothing. 23But as for what was sown on SUN good soil, this is the one who hears the word and SUN understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one SUN case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another SUN thirty.” SUN (Matthew 13:1-9,18-23) SUN SUN Response to the Word SUN SUN MINISTER: We welcome, the Archdeacon of Canterbury, the SUN Venerable Dr Sheila Watson, our preacher this morning. SUN SUN SERMON SUN My eye was caught the other day by a tee shirt with the SUN words ‘I hear you but I am not listening’. Jesus challenges SUN us today to listen – to hear and understand and bear fruit – SUN to do something with our lives. SUN SUN Hear what? The danger with the parables is that they have SUN lost their punch. Their edge is blunted by familiarity or SUN overlain with interpretations: like the emphasis, in our SUN parable of the sower on the hazards in the way of a good SUN harvest. The tendency to concentrate on the stumbling SUN blocks is fair. SUN We need the hard-headedness to own that we do get SUN distracted, led on false trails, like the birds of the air SUN snatching away the seed. We can prefer to live SUN superficially, like the seed on stony ground, not wanting to SUN tangle with deeper issues or questions. Or the sheer SUN busyness and demands of everyday can choke us like thorns, SUN leaving us blind to what’s happening to even our nearest and SUN dearest. SUN SUN The temptation is to get hooked on the problems. Despair is SUN often easier to handle than hope. Stuck in a traffic jam, SUN the other day wondering whether I would make an appointment, SUN I was tantalised by hope. Despair was more bearable. Every SUN time we moved forward, we came to a halt again. As I looked SUN ahead, Woody Allan seemed right – ‘the future is much like SUN the present only longer’. It was not the despair. I could SUN cope with the despair, it was the hope I couldn’t bear. SUN SUN But, if we look at Jesus’ story of the sower, where is the SUN emphasis? Jesus has certainly been drawing the crowds. So SUN much so that he takes to a boat to talk to everyone gathered SUN on the seashore. But how many stayed the course? The SUN crowds were encouraging but results were disappointing. So SUN the small team of disciples are asking Jesus, why are you SUN doing it like this? He explains that as the sower scatters SUN the seed some of it is lost because of the birds or the SUN rocks or the thorns; but the harvest is a hundredfold. Now SUN where’s the emphasis? SUN SUN Yes, some things have gone wrong, but there’s a bonanza at SUN the end. Despite everything the harvest will be a rich SUN one. There is realism that things go wrong but the balance SUN is with hope. SUN SUN The sower challenges us to hope even amidst life’s worst. SUN Anne Frank, hiding in her attic during WW2 knew this. Ever SUN realistic about the nightmare around her, she remained full SUN of hope, as she wrote in her diary; ‘I see the world being SUN slowly turned into a wilderness. I hear the approaching SUN thunder that one day will destroy us too. And yet when I SUN look at the sky, I feel everything will change for the SUN better. Whenever you feel lonely or sad – try going up to SUN the loft on a beautiful day and look at the sky. As long as SUN you can look fearlessly, you will know that you are pure SUN within.’ SUN SUN The disciples struggled with this challenge right to the SUN end. Like most of us they wanted less of a gap between the SUN vision and making it happen; between the seed being planted SUN and the harvest ready to reap. They wanted Jesus to offer a SUN way of changing the world and breaking new ground painlessly SUN and quickly. God’s more realistic and more patient. SUN Breaking new ground, coming to maturity is painstaking and SUN costly. Enacting the Christian message of loving one SUN another, takes time. Discovering what belonging together, SUN unity, amidst all the richness of our differences and SUN diversity is a continuing journey. SUN SUN It should not surprise us. Andy Murray did not effortlessly SUN become a tennis star. It needs dedication and devotion and SUN the capacity to deal with the rocky ground. Our young SUN singers here today, providing such inspiring music for our SUN worship are having an exhilarating time – but it involves SUN intense practise to achieve such harmony. The Church of SUN England this weekend is debating the final stages of the SUN Women in the Episcopate legislation. The final vote on SUN whether to permit women to be Bishops is tomorrow morning. SUN It has been an achingly and frustratingly slow process for SUN some and a worrying and challenging one for others. Amidst SUN it all is the issue of belonging together amidst difference; SUN a challenge that goes wider than the church. SUN SUN Breaking new ground is exciting and tough. Whenever diverse SUN groups gather together we see the wondrous abundance of the SUN sower’s harvest in the joy of learning from one another – SUN our musicians today - or the students from all over the SUN Anglican communion with us recently in Canterbury for prayer SUN and study. One student from Africa commented, ‘We have SUN learned that we have far more in common than the things that SUN divide us, and we are determined to stay together.’ But the SUN early pioneers, whether in business or Parliament or the SUN Church, like the first shoots breaking through the ground, SUN are often vulnerable to how others cope with change. SUN SUN Penny Jamieson, the first woman Bishop in the Anglican SUN communion, said of her own ordination as a Bishop, ‘The SUN ordinal (questions asked at ordination) is quite terrifying SUN in the expectations it gives rise to – but she continued,’ SUN these paled into insignificance compared with the SUN expectations other people had of me. I scarcely knew who or SUN what I was.’1 SUN SUN 1 (This month as we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the SUN first black bishop in West Africa, Samuel Ajayi Crowther, SUN we also repented of the dishonour done to him at the end of SUN his ministry.) SUN SUN Joining in the work of ‘thy kingdom come’ needs patience, SUN realism and courage. Above all it needs hope in God the SUN sower who promises an abundant harvest no matter how many SUN thorns we encounter on the way. ‘Whenever you feel lonely SUN or sad – [like Anne Frank] try going up to the loft on a SUN beautiful day and look at the sky and even say with her, SUN ‘As long as you can look fearlessly, you will know that you SUN are pure within.’ SUN MINISTER : And so with the strength given by hope we affirm SUN the faith we hold in common: SUN SUN We believe in God the Father, SUN Who created all things: SUN ALL: For by his will they were created SUN And have their being SUN SUN MINISTER: We believe in God the Son, SUN Who was slain: SUN ALL: For by his blood SUN He purchased us for God, SUN From every tribe and language, SUN From every people and nation. SUN SUN MINISTER: We believe in God the Holy Spirit: SUN ALL: The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ SUN Even so come, Lord Jesus! SUN Amen SUN SUN MINISTER: So we offer all of our life to God in hope, SUN trusting in his abundant love. SUN MUSIC: HYMN - Lord of all power, I give You my will SUN J. C.

SUN SUN MUSIC: HYMN O Praise ye the Lord SUN (Henry Williams Baker, 1875) SUN SUN ORGAN VOLUNTARY Vierne, Carillon (from 24 pièces en style SUN libre) SUN SUN SUN 08:48 A Point of View b048nsnk (Listen) SUN Isis: A modern revolutionary force? SUN SUN Philosopher and author John Gray argues that the Sunni SUN extremist group Isis (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) SUN is actually more of a modern revolutionary force than a SUN reactionary one intent on a reversion to mediaeval values. SUN Surprising as this may sound says Gray, Isis is thoroughly SUN modern. It's organised itself into an efficient company, and SUN has become the wealthiest jihadi organisation in the world. SUN And while it invokes the early history of Islam, the society SUN it envisions has no precedent in history.

SUN SUN 13:30 AL Kennedy: Holding Hands b04754xq (Listen) SUN There is something uniquely intimate and comforting about SUN holding someone's hand. Perhaps because it's something that SUN begins in childhood - our small hand enveloped in that of SUN other, stronger, larger hands. SUN SUN We associate it with comfort, concern, care. And then, for a SUN while, we abandon it - not holding your parents' hands is a SUN sign that you have grown up - only to have the joy of SUN rediscovering new shades of meaning in the gesture. SUN SUN As adults, we may hold hands with our own children. Hand SUN holding may be a part of courtship - it's not as flashy as a SUN kiss, but can be a clear signal to ourselves and others that SUN we are together - it can be a subtle brush or glancing SUN touch, it can be a complex form of foreplay. SUN SUN We may also have our hands held at times of stress and SUN crisis - sometimes by people we don't even know. And we may SUN hold the hands of the sick and even the dying as they leave SUN us, or after they have gone. SUN SUN We separate the joyful hand holding from the horrible - hand SUN holding can induce emotions and by contrast, unruly emotions SUN can be the reason to reach for a hand. SUN SUN Novelist AL Kennedy talks to scientists Professors Roger SUN Lemon and Steve Jones, Rabbi Julia Neuberger, GP Adnan SUN Siddiqui, triple amputee Giles Duly and poet-undertaker SUN Thomas Lynch. She visits Monkey World to find out about hand SUN holding among non-human primates, and we hear from her mum SUN amidst the voices of people remembering holding hands.

SUN SUN Peter Gibbs also goes behind the scenes at the Botanic SUN Gardens to hear about their project to create a database of SUN DNA barcodes for all the native flowering plants and SUN conifers in the UK. For more information on the barcoding SUN project, please go to SUN www.gardenofwales.org.uk/science/barcode-wales/ SUN SUN Produced by Darby Dorras SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions: SUN SUN Q. What can I plant in my garden to remind me of my son who SUN lives in New Zealand? The garden is north facing and 600ft SUN above sea level. SUN SUN A. Tree ferns suitably protected with hay, hessian and SUN plastic will come back year after year. Astelias will do SUN well if planted in a sheltered area. Raoulia hookeri is SUN another option. SUN SUN Q. My Solomon Seal has been depleted by gray SUN caterpillar-like grubs. What can I do? SUN SUN A. This sounds like your plant has been plagued by sawfly. SUN There's not much you can do this year but mark the date in SUN you diary of when the infestation became apparent and so SUN next year you can try to deal with it before it gets out of SUN hand. One option would be to use nematodes as a form of SUN biological control. Birds will also help so you could put a SUN couple of birdfeeders to increase the numbers. SUN SUN Q. Along my neighbour's fence there are Chestnut, Lime and SUN Alder trees. I'd like to grow Clematis up some of the shrubs SUN in my garden to screen from the trees. Could the panel SUN recommend some varieties that would cope with a bit of shade SUN and the dryness beneath the trees? SUN SUN A. Firstly, you will have to dig a big hole when planting SUN anything beneath the trees. Make sure to use plenty of SUN compost and use leaf mould to help retain moisture. Clematis SUN Montana is a robust variety. Clematis Alpinas are a bit more SUN delicate. The Elizabeth and Frieda cultivars of Clematis SUN Montana are a bit less rampant than the standard Clematis SUN Montana but should still grow well. SUN SUN Q. I have limited space for growing vegetables so I try to SUN clear and store what I grow. What's the best way to store SUN leaks onions and potatoes? SUN SUN A. Make sure all the vegetables are well dried. Only store SUN the Onions that have narrow necks - a bull neck means it SUN will not store well. Handle Onions and Garlic carefully as SUN bruising can be a source of problems later on. You could SUN hang them up to dry or use a palate or chicken wire to SUN ensure a good circulation of air around the vegetables. If SUN they dry well over several consecutive sunny days you can SUN plat the stems, or store them in old seed trays. As long as SUN the place you store them is cool, frost-free, well SUN ventilated and not at all damp they should keep well. With SUN potatoes, just rub off any clumps of mud and leave them to SUN dry and then store them in hessian bags. Leaks can actually SUN be left in the ground over winter, just use straw to stop SUN them from freezing. SUN SUN Q. Some of my squash plants have done well, while others SUN have yellowed, wilted and died. What went wrong? SUN SUN A. Planting in cold soil can cause yellowing. What you can SUN do next time is warm up the soil before you plant. Put SUN cardboard over the soil and then dark mulch over that. The SUN sun will warm the soil this way. A more worrying cause of SUN the problem would be aphids that spread disease. This might SUN be a case of the Tobacco Mosaic Virus. The problem might SUN also be down to slug and snail damage. Have a look at the SUN base of the wilting plants to look for signs of chewing SUN around the base. Also, if transferring squash plants from a SUN greenhouse to the garden, make sure to acclimatise the SUN plants first by first bringing them out in the day and SUN putting them back at night for about ten days before SUN planting them in the ground. SUN SUN Q. What is the best way to look after my Auricular now the SUN flowers are over? SUN SUN A. Divide the plant after flowering. Snap open the stems and SUN divide them into chunks with the crown with some root on, SUN pot them up into terracotta pots with some light-weight SUN compost and keep them moist through the summer and feed with SUN tomato feed. Keep them sheltered in the winter and they SUN should do well. SUN SUN Q. Please explain the advantages of a double-walled garden. SUN SUN A. Double walls help get rid of insects. The more wall SUN space, the more areas to grow plants up. The double walls SUN keep the temperature low in the winter, helping the plants SUN go dormant and getting rid of unwanted pests. SUN SUN Q. Which plants attract wasps or emit noxious smells? SUN SUN A. Gloire de Marengo Ivy attracts wasps, particularly in SUN late summer. The Dracunculous vulgaris smells like rotting SUN meat. Angelica Gigas attract wasps as does Bupleurum. SUN SUN Sawfly Invasion SUN The Gardeners' Question Time panel examine a sample of SUN Soloman's seal SUN sawfly.

SUN SUN 17:00 File on 4 b048l0sh (Listen) SUN Late Payments SUN SUN Last month, in the Queen's Speech, the Government announced SUN a series of measures to support small businesses -- SUN including proposals to deal with the problem of late payment SUN of bills by larger companies. SUN SUN It follows a long history of horror stories about major high SUN street names leaving suppliers and sub-contractors out of SUN pocket because of delays in settling accounts. SUN SUN Figures produced by the Department of Business, Innovation SUN and Skills revealed that 85 per cent of small and medium SUN sized businesses said they had experienced late payment in SUN the last two years and that, in total, there was £30bn SUN outstanding to them. SUN SUN But File on 4 has found that it's not just in private SUN business that serious problems are occurring. SUN SUN The programme speaks to business owners who say that that SUN ineffective rules and sanctions have left them badly out of SUN pocket on contracts undertaken in the public sector. SUN SUN Local authorities, the NHS and other Government departments SUN have strict rules about how long they should take to pay SUN their contractors. SUN SUN But Jenny Chryss reveals how some small firms are having to SUN cut back on staff because bills still aren't being settled SUN promptly. SUN SUN And she reveals how big contractors who do get paid on time, SUN often delay before passing the money down the supply chain. SUN SUN So are critics right when they say the Government's proposed SUN new measures still aren't enough to deal with the problem? SUN SUN Reporter: Jenny Chryss Producer: Emma Forde.

Radio MON producer Julian May was struck by the musicality of these, MON the undulations of hills are melodic, the spacing of MON landmarks - trees, spires - rhythmic. Musicians could, he MON thought, take the line dividing the earth from the air, MON place it on a stave, and play the skyline. MON MON Prominent musicians were intrigued - the Scottish composer MON James MacMillan; Julie Fowlis, leading light of Gaelic song; MON Kizzy Crawford, an eighteen year old singer-songwriter of MON Welsh and Bajan heritage, at home in the English and Welsh; MON and Gwilym Simcock the Welsh pianist who writes classical MON pieces, and improvises, too. MON MON For Radio 4 Tim Marlow presents three programmes, in MON England, Wales and Scotland, in which two musicians look at MON the skyline, give their responses, then begin playing it. MON Tim hears how they are getting on and, finally, the MON musicians, Tim and Radio 4's listeners hear for the first MON time the finished pieces. MON MON The first programme begins in the National Maritime Museum MON where Robert Blyth, Senior Curator of Maritime History, MON shows Tim some coastal profiles and ponders what seamen MON whose lives depended on them might make of the idea that MON they could be an inspiration for music. MON MON Then jazz musician Courtney Pine and the composer Anna MON Meredith join Tim on the Millennium Bridge in London. They MON consider the view from St Paul's, past the Walkie Talkie and MON Blackfriars Bridge to the Shard.

The much maligned MON new-town is now leading the way in the economic recovery and MON topping the league tables as the UK's most business-friendly MON town. MON MON MK, as it's affectionately known by its residents, has many MON of the key ingredients when it comes to attracting business MON investment. It has good connections to London and the rest MON of the country, plenty of factory and office space, an MON abundance of skilled graduates on its doorstop and house MON prices well below the national average, as building has kept MON up with the town's booming population. All this has helped MON Milton Keynes build one of the strongest city economies in MON the UK, boasting the 4th highest business start-up rate and MON the 3rd highest output per worker out of 64 cities. MON MON Deborah Meaden, the fearsome business brain of TV's MON 'Dragon's Den', travels to Milton Keynes to visit different MON businesses and find out if there is a secret ingredient MON beyond the issues of location and education. Local MON entrepreneurs talk about the 'Milton Keynes can-do MON attitude'. They say part of the reason MK has thrived is due MON to their drive to push their businesses forward and work MON together. Deborah discusses the nature of the unique MK MON mind-set with three small business owners to pin down MON exactly what it is. MON MON But there is a question over whether Milton Keynes is going MON to inspire its next generation - just in the same way MON today's business leaders were galvanised by the town's MON planners or 'founding fathers', who cemented a pioneering MON spirit into its culture. Two young entrepreneurs tell MON Deborah that although MK is a great place to start up, it MON needs to make sure it attracts more innovative hi-tech MON companies and independent shops and businesses in order to MON maintain its success into the future. MON MON So what can other cities learn from Milton Keynes? Chief MON executive of the think tank Centre For Cities, Alexandra MON Jones, shares her thoughts on which parts of MK's success MON can be replicated in other parts of the UK, especially in MON the cities of northern England where economic growth is MON desperately needed. Should more cities be doing it the MON Milton Keynes way? MON MON Producer: Sophie Anton. MON MON 11:30 Bad Salsa b04967j3 (Listen) MON Mount Kilimanjaro MON MON After treatment for Ovarian and breast cancer Chippy, is mad MON Jill is sad and Terri is definitely dangerous to know! The MON road back after cancer treatment can be tricky and full of MON obstacles. In Bad Salsa, two middle aged women and their MON younger friend seek to regain their zest for life and love MON by learning to dance at Bad Salsa, the club where everyone MON knows your name but no-one knows your prognosis! MON Depictions of people with cancer on TV and radio too often MON follow a standard format; there is the diagnosis, the MON depression the chemo, then the false recovery followed by MON the tragic death. MON Bad Salsa tries to paint a picture at once more hopeful and MON more in line with survival rates which have improved MON immensely over the past twenty years. For many, 'living with MON cancer' is now their day to day challenge. The characters in MON the series have finished their treatment and are in the MON process of finding their way back to normal life or at least MON finding a "new normal." As in the real world, the challenges MON of everyday life go on for our characters; like us they have MON boring marriages, distracting crushes, troublesome children, MON difficult workmates and infuriating parents, but unlike us MON their brush with mortality has given them a new perspective. MON The fun and excitement of the series is in watching them MON decide to preserve the pre-cancer status quo or in Terri's MON words, to say "sod it all" and "go for it!" MON The series follows the women as they embrace the world of MON salsa whilst they adjust to life after cancer.

Well the answer can be found in the first of a MON new series of five programmes in which Brett Westwood joins MON naturalist Phil Gates in a garden near Bristol, and with the MON help of wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson, they offer a MON practical and entertaining guide to the wildlife which MON you're most likely to see and hear in different habitats MON around the garden, beginning with log piles and long grass. MON Here they find "tiggy hogs and coffin cutters", local names MON for woodlice; endearing little armoured scavengers that feed MON mostly on fungi. And where you find woodlice you might also MON find their predators; a spider, "which has got these MON enormous fangs and the woodlice meets a sticky end!". The MON decaying leaves which accumulate in log piles are also good MON hibernation sites for bumblebees; which in spring will MON emerge to collect nectar and pollinate garden plants. So log MON piles can help ensure pollination! In the long grass nearby, MON Brett and Phil go looking for cuckoo spit, and an insect MON which can catapult itself to a height of 140 times its body MON length! They are also attracted by a hive of activity; the MON sounds of red mason bees buzzing around artificial nesting MON sites which have been built for them; these are short MON lengths of drainpipe containing dozens of hollow tubes in MON which the bees make their nests and lay their eggs. MON Artificial nests are a great way of encouraging pollinators MON into your garden. Finally they discuss the merits of wood MON mice in a garden and the creatures they attract; "What could MON better than being in bed at night and hearing Tawny Owls MON hunting in your garden, wood mice are something you really MON do need!"

This time Gough turns his MON attention to the eurozone crisis and, along with the MON Chancellor of Frugalia and the Head of the European Bank of MON Common Sense and Stability, conjures an ambitious and MON unorthodox plan to save Europe, the Markets and the World. MON MON Jude lives in a henhouse with no roof, in the bankrupt MON Republic of Squanderland. Purchased for ten million euro at MON the height of the credit bubble, his henhouse has been rated MON the asset in Europe most likely to default. To solve this MON small but symbolic problem and restore confidence in the MON markets, Europe's leaders need a plan. Sadly, putting a roof MON on Jude's henhouse quickly escalates out of control. Soon MON they are committed to building a roof over the entire MON country, half a mile above the startled voters... But what MON happens when a structure that's too big to fail finally MON fails? To the horror of Europe's bankers and politicians, MON Jude comes up with a dramatic (and rather romantic) solution MON to the Eurozone crisis... MON MON 'The Great Squanderland Roof' stars Rory Keenan as the MON hapless Jude (whose recent credits include 'The Kitchen' at MON the National, 'A Dublin Carol' at the Donmar and 'Birdsong' MON on BBC TV) in his debut BBC Radio role, Dermot Crowley as a MON banker turned government minister, and Stephanie Flanders, MON the BBC's Economics Editor. MON MON Julian Gough is an Irish novelist, short story writer, MON blogger and playwright, who lives in Berlin. He won the BBC MON National Short Story Award in 2007 for his story 'The Orphan MON and the Mob' and his most recent novel 'Jude in London' was MON short listed for the 'Not the Booker' Award 2011.

Or can being MON cast far from home galvanise an artist's work, giving them a MON fresh perspective? MON MON Author Rosie Dastgir explores the importance of roots and MON home on the work of an artist in this authored programme. MON She meets different artists from diverse places across MON Britain. MON MON Clio Barnard is one of Britain's rising filmmakers and her MON work made Rosie wonder about her roots and sense of place. MON Much of Barnard's film work is centred in Yorkshire and her MON movies The Arbour and the latest, BAFTA nominated The MON Selfish Giant reflect a social realism that could only come MON from an intimate knowledge of the area. MON MON Going home to Wolverhampton, was something that Sathnam MON Sanghera felt compelled to do to write his funny and moving MON memoir The Boy with the Top Knot - as he had learnt his MON father was a schizophrenic, explaining some of his family's MON strange behaviour while he was growing up. The memoir takes MON him on an extraordinary journey from his father's harsh life MON in rural Punjab to the steps of the Wolverhampton Tourist MON Office. MON MON Simon Stevens is an award-winning playwright. His writing is MON characterised as part of a new generation of gritty realism MON and is widely performed, not only in the UK but also MON throughout Europe. His work and writing grapple with his MON past of growing up on the streets of Stockport.

But data from the 2011 MON census seems to indicate a layer of complexity to British MON Asian attitudes about nationality which is missing from the MON rhetoric around British identity. MON MON The 2011 census introduced a reporting category which was MON intended to capture whether voters considered themselves to MON have British identity only, English identity only, other UK MON identity only, or other identity only. MON MON The results were fascinating- the groups most likely to MON report a British identity were Bangladeshi (72%) Pakistani MON (63%) and Indian (58%).

Can the TUE urban jungle actually be better than some rural areas for TUE bees and birds? In this episode Monty Don hears from TUE scientists working to find out just how important our urban TUE areas are for wildlife. TUE TUE Presented by Monty Don and produced by Brett Westwood. TUE TUE Dr Katherine Baldock TUE Dr Katherine Baldock is a postdoctoral researcher in the TUE School of Biological Sciences and the Cabot Institute at the TUE University of Bristol. Her research is focused on examining TUE community-level interactions between plants and their TUE pollinators and the study of these relationships using TUE interaction networks. She co-ordinates the research project TUE ‘Urban Pollinators: their ecology and conservation’, a TUE collaborative project involving academic, practitioner and TUE taxonomist partners. TUE The project team has been studying insect pollinators and TUE the plants they feed on in urban habitats throughout the UK. TUE The project has examined plant-pollinator communities in TUE replicate cities, farms and nature reserves, sampled 700 TUE sites in four cities to assess the suitability of urban TUE habitats for pollinators and planted 60 pollen and TUE nectar-rich flower meadows to examine their benefit for TUE pollinators. TUE TUE Dr Myla Aronson TUE Dr Myla Aronson is a Research Scientist at Rutgers School of TUE Environmental and Biological Sciences and is interested in TUE the conservation and maintenance of biodiversity in human TUE dominated landscapes and the patterns, causes and TUE consequences of exotic species invasions. TUE Her work has focussed on the patterns of plant diversity in TUE relation to land use change and urbanisation. It has also TUE studied processes of community assembly and biotic TUE homogenisation by exotic species and urbanisation at local TUE and regional scales. TUE Her work has also studied the long-term change in intact and TUE restored vegetation communities in urban and agricultural TUE landscapes in order to better understand and manage plant TUE community dynamics in human dominated landscapes over time.

TUE TUE On the way she meets eminent KJs (karaoke jockeys), in TUE particular John Brophy whose Baby Ketten Karaoke nights are TUE where the serious performers go. He's eradicated the top 100 TUE favourite songs from his list so everyone has to dig deeper TUE to find more challenging material. TUE TUE Katie embraces it all. TUE TUE There's 'Stripperaoke', where she finds singing next to a TUE scantily clad, tattooed dancer is surprisingly freeing. At TUE Chopsticks II, she meets a KJ who admits that serious TUE karaoke fans are addicted to performance. At Trio she hits TUE the Latin scene with a big celebration of Cinque de Mayo, TUE where mariachi meets karaoke and becomes 'mariaoke'. TUE TUE On another night she gets up and sings live with a karaoke TUE band called 'Karaoke from Hell' who've been playing backing TUE tracks for amateur singers for 22 years.

TUE TUE 13:45 A Guide to Garden Wildlife b036tsnf (Listen) TUE Ponds TUE TUE Brett Westwood is joined by naturalist Phil Gates in a TUE garden near Bristol and with the help of recordings by TUE wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson and Tom Lawrence, they TUE offer a practical and entertaining guide to the wildlife TUE which you're most likely to see and hear in a garden pond. TUE Garden ponds are arguably the most diverse of all garden TUE wildlife habitats, and Brett and Phil begin by watching pond TUE skaters (the wolves of the pond) and whirligig beetles on TUE the surface of the water. "They remind me of bumper cars at TUE the fair" says Phil as whirligig beetles whizz about over TUE the elastic surface film. These beetles are able to look TUE down and up at the same time. Imagine if we could this! TUE "What goes on in a Whirligig beetle's brain I just can't TUE contemplate" laughs Phil. Surprisingly, below the surface, TUE life is anything but quiet as water boatmen communicate with TUE one another by stridulation - producing a remarkably loud TUE tapping sound. There are also backswimmers (so called TUE because they swim upside down), which can be identified TUE explains Phil as "the ones that bite really painfully" so TUE best left alone! Further below the surface, you might frogs TUE (their loud purring courtship calls announcing their return TUE to the pond after hibernation and the arrival of spring), TUE and the terrors of the deep; the dragonfly nymphs. These are TUE fearsome predatory larvae with needle-sharp pincer-like TUE jaws, "jet propelled" and feed on tadpoles. These larvae are TUE transformed into the beautiful flying adults, which are not TUE uncommon; species like the Southern Hawker Dragonfly readily TUE colonise small garden ponds and "they'll come and check you TUE out. They're very curious insects, they hover round your TUE head and come and look at you." Don't be alarmed they are TUE completely harmless despite their old names such as 'Horse TUE stinger' and 'Devil's darning needle'! TUE TUE PRODUCER: Sarah Blunt.

TUE TUE As she hangs, Sylvia is visited by a series of figures, TUE including her husband (Philip Jackson), her daughter TUE (Emerald O'Hanrahan) and a man (Carl Prekopp), calling TUE himself her friend, whom she cannot recognize. TUE TUE But are these people real or phantoms? It soon becomes TUE apparent that part of the space of the play is Sylvia's TUE unconscious, the land of her memory.

TUE TUE 16:00 Word of Mouth b04980f3 (Listen) TUE Weighing Your Words TUE TUE Chris Ledgard investigates three situations where the TUE precise use of words is crucial. He speaks to a cancer TUE specialist and a woman in remission from the disease about TUE the language of diagnosis and prognosis. How do doctors TUE balance the need to be sensitive with the need to be TUE accurate? Is the word cancer itself still one that people TUE prefer not to use? The second situation under consideration TUE is when journalists, covering a fast moving story for the TUE popular press, are made party to information they are TUE requested not to print. Reporter Paul Sims describes how he TUE dealt with one such situation during the hunt for the TUE gunman, Raoul Moat in 2010. Finally, there can be few TUE situations where choosing precisely the right words matters TUE more than during negotiations to end an armed conflict. TUE Britain's Chief Negotiator on Northern Ireland, Jonathan TUE Powell and Sinn Fein's Conor Murphy, discuss the language TUE that paved the way to the Good Friday Agreement and why it TUE was often ambiguous rather than clear language that kept the TUE talks on track.

TUE Parents have told File on 4 there is a worrying lack of TUE research into new drugs for childhood cancers, with TUE youngsters sometimes offered treatments which have hardly TUE changed in the last forty years - treatments that can have a TUE limited chance of success and which can cause fatal, serious TUE and life-long side-effects for those lucky enough to TUE survive. TUE In the battle to get the most up-to-date treatments for TUE children with some of the most aggressive cancers, TUE increasing numbers of families say they are forced to raise TUE hundreds of thousands of pounds to travel abroad to take TUE part in pioneering drugs trials elsewhere.

WED WED 09:30 Publishing Lives b03bqchd (Listen) WED Series 1, John Murray WED WED As the digital revolution shakes publishing to its WED foundations, writer and former publisher Robert McCrum WED explores the stories of five great British publishers. He WED looks back at their remarkable lives and asks what they can WED tell us about the challenges facing their successors today. WED WED The story of British book publishing is the story of taking WED ink and paper, words and ideas, to the people. It's a tale WED of incredible showmen, hustlers, mavericks, gamblers and WED talent scouts - people with a global vision and pioneers who WED found new ways to take books to a mass market. WED WED Robert starts with the John Murray publishing dynasty. In WED seven generations of John Murrays, the list of authors is a WED roll-call of English literature: Jane Austen, Lord Byron, WED Charles Darwin, Walter Scott, Arthur Conan Doyle, John WED Betjeman, and many more. WED WED In 1768 John Murray set up a publishing company, whose most WED celebrated author was Lord Byron. When Murray published his WED 'Childe Harold' in 1812, it was said that Byron 'woke up to WED find himself famous'. It was also the making of Murray the WED publisher. Yet Murray participated in one of the most WED notorious acts in publishing history when he burnt the WED manuscript of Byron's personal memoirs because he thought WED the scandalous details would damage Byron's reputation. WED WED During the Victorian age, through charm, luck and hard work, WED the second John Murray put himself at the centre of the WED literary scene and transformed his trade as a coarse WED bookseller into a profession for gentlemen. WED WED Robert meets the seventh and last John Murray, as well as WED experts in literature and publishing, to discuss one of the WED oldest publishing houses in Britain.

WED WED 13:45 A Guide to Garden Wildlife b03757cm (Listen) WED Hedges WED WED Ever wondered what causes the semi-circular holes in your WED rose bushes, and what is it that raids the honeysuckle for WED nectar? Well the answers to these garden mysteries are WED revealed when Brett Westwood is joined by naturalist Phil WED Gates in a garden near Bristol and with the help of WED recordings by wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson and WED Geoff Sample, they offer a practical and entertaining guide WED to the wildlife which you're most likely to see and hear in WED a garden hedge. Hedgerows provide food, shelter and nesting WED sites for birds, climbing frames for plants and food for WED insects. Male wrens build multiple nests (often in hedges) WED and the female then selects one in which to lay her eggs. WED Wrens are also notable for their song; it's a very loud WED explosive song for such a small bird "The whole bird seems WED to vibrate". Brett and Phil then turn their attention from WED song to scent; and to the honeysuckle which grows in this WED garden around the porch, but is often entwined in hedges and WED likely to attract the lovely Twenty-plume Moth - so called WED because "their wings look like beautiful Chinese fans ... WED and each wing is divided into what look like little WED feathers", and although its called the Twenty-plume Moth, it WED actually has 24 plumes, six on each of the four wings; a WED really exquisite moth. They also look for signs of WED leafcutter bees, before finally discussing hedgehogs, the WED ardent adventures of one particular male in Phil's garden, WED their extraordinarily noisy courtship, and the importance of WED hedges as highways and corridors between gardens.

THU THU As Felicity Evans finds out, in recent years there's been an THU ongoing programme to restore the fine paths through the THU estate's wooded hills, and preserve the ancient parkland THU trees that still remain. This makes it a fascinating place THU to visit. THU THU She's shown around by estate manager, David Newnham, THU landscape historian Jennie Macve (who's written a history of THU Hafod, and its remarkable founder, Thomas Johnes) and the THU botanist Ray Wood. Felicity also visits the nearby Llywernog THU Silver Lead Mine to meet Peter Lloyd Harvey who shows her THU how this mine reveals a very different attitude to landscape THU in the early Victorian period: it was far from being a THU tourist attraction for visiting gentry.

FRI FRI He talks to a range of leaders, from one who employs 3000 FRI people to one who employed 1.3 million. He asks how FRI dispersed leadership can really be and when it needs to be FRI focussed in one individual. He explores the difficulties of FRI leading organisations that are enormously complex - often FRI with blurred lines of accountability. And he probes the gaps FRI - in pay, culture and values - that can emerge between FRI leaders and led. FRI FRI Along the way he watches a charismatic lecture in leadership FRI at London Business School, and hears from some of its FRI recipients. He goes with John Timpson CBE to pay surprise FRI visits on the staff of some of his many shops. And he visits FRI a fast-growing young company to find out how they took on FRI specialist leaders to join the founders, and how that has FRI changed the company's culture.

FRI FRI 13:45 A Guide to Garden Wildlife b037smx8 (Listen) FRI Stones FRI FRI Stones, patios, rockeries and walls may at first seem an FRI unlikely habitat for wildlife but that's far from the truth FRI as you can hear when Brett Westwood is joined by naturalist FRI Phil Gates in a garden near Bristol and, with the help of FRI recordings by wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson, they FRI offer a practical and entertaining guide to the wildlife FRI which you're most likely to see and hear associated with FRI walls and stones in the garden. Many invertebrates like to FRI sunbathe on sun-drenched stones whilst others live in the FRI cool shade under the stones. Wolf spiders and zebra spiders FRI (the latter so called because of their black and white FRI markings) can be found sunbathing on patios or house walls. FRI "Watch out for their courtship - this is real edge of the FRI seat drama " says Phil of the wolf spider as the smaller FRI males risk their lives as they approach the female FRI signalling to her, often for hours, before he mates, or in FRI some cases, is eaten! Stone walls may also harbour slow FRI worms, although you can also encourage these into your FRI garden with pieces of corrugated iron as Phil explains. FRI Turning over some edging stones, Brett and Phil discover FRI masses of black garden ants, which milk aphids for their FRI sugary honeydew "rather like we milk herds of cattle", FRI explains Phil. Snails in the garden are kept in check by FRI Song Thrushes which use stones as anvils on which to crack FRI the snail shells and extract the contents for a juicy meal. FRI Perhaps most valuable of all are ivy-clad walls which offer FRI shelter in winter for many species, as well as nesting sites FRI for birds, and year round food. And if you have ivy and FRI holly in your garden then you could be rewarded with the FRI sight of a lovely Holly Blue butterfly which requires both FRI to complete its life cycle.

FRI FRI The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a FRI snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the FRI UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to FRI them about a subject they've never discussed intimately FRI before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK FRI by teams of producers from local and national radio stations FRI who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're FRI not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - FRI lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key FRI moment of connection between the participants. Most of the FRI unedited conversations are being archived by the British FRI Library and used to build up a collection of voices FRI capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade FRI of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or FRI just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting FRI bbc.co.uk/listeningproject FRI FRI Producer: Marya Burgess. FRI
