SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b00kc071 (Listen) SAT A Laureate's Legacy - The Poetry Archive SAT Andrew Motion explores and tells the story of the proudest SAT legacy of his time as Poet Laureate, The Poetry Archive - SAT hundreds of poems, read by their authors and all available SAT online, free to everyone. SAT Motion began the Archive in 1999 with sound producer SAT Richard Carrington, and it is still growing in size. It SAT includes contemporary poets reading their work, including SAT Seamus Heaney, UA Fanthorpe and Jackie Kay and historic SAT recordings by poets including Hilaire Belloc, Siegfried SAT Sassoon, WB Yeats and even Tennyson and Browning. As well SAT as the poems there are sections for children and teachers, SAT interviews with poets, poets in residence and useful SAT information about genres, forms and metres. If you want to SAT know what an anapaest is, or a pantoum, the Poetry Archive SAT can help. SAT Motion and Carrington talk about why they created the SAT archive, and state that there is more to it than simply SAT preserving poets reading their work. Motion develops his SAT theme that poetry is primarily an aural art, and what this SAT reveals. The poet's voice is fundamental: the windswept SAT moor is in the voice of Ted Hughes; Charles Causley's SAT Cornish accent and dialect are important. The sound of a SAT poem is an aspect of its meaning. At the recording session SAT when Carol Ann Duffy reads her book Rapture for the SAT archive, Richard Carrington speaks about his role: not to SAT coax a performance so much as to help the poets to be SAT themselves. SAT Andrew Motion and Richard Carrington lead us around the SAT archive, playing gems that we might otherwise have missed. SAT They talk, too, about what is missing, and appeal to SAT people who might have recordings. For example, they do not SAT know how Thomas Hardy, AE Housman and DH Lawrence sounded SAT because as far as we know they never made recordings. But SAT they might have, and one day they might turn up.

Regarded SAT by many as one of the most significant German-speaking SAT literary figures of the early Modern period, Rilke wrote SAT lyrical verse and prose including Sonnets to Orpheus and SAT Letter to A Young Poet. SAT Hayley examines how he was dominated by the love of his SAT mother and later pushed himself to the very limits of SAT romantic love. The poet threw himself into endless SAT heartbreak, many relationships, even abandoning a wife and SAT child. He became the passive lover of a series of SAT forthright, older women, including a princess and some SAT heiresses, all in pursuit of the sweet agonies with which SAT he could infuse his writing. SAT Featuring contributions from Rilke experts Dirk Heisserer, SAT Professor Karen Leeder, Dr Ben Hutchinson and Professor SAT Von Bulow.

Guests include Bill Oddie and the comedian Alex SUN Horne. SUN Percy Edwards discovered his talent for talking like SUN animals when he was seven. Dozing under a tree, he heard SUN what he thought was a wolf-whistle and discovered that it SUN was a bird. For several weeks, Edwards kept hearing this SUN greenfinch and found that he could imitate it. He even SUN took to eating canary seed before going to bed in the hope SUN that he would wake in the morning singing like a bird. SUN Eventually Percy was able to produce the sound of more SUN than 600 birds, and some other animals. His was the voice SUN of the killer whale in Orca, the alien in Alien and he SUN provided sheep noises for Kate Bush's song The Dreaming. SUN Percy took to the stage aged 11, was a stalwart of the SUN Generation Game in the 1970s and gave his final SUN performance aged 80 at the London Palladium in 1989. His SUN repertoire was extraordinary - all 13 calls of the SUN chaffinch, the strangely grinding sound of the amorous SUN capercaille and corgis barking in Welsh accents. SUN Quizmaster David Attenborough plays bird calls for the SUN teams to identify, some of which will not be the birds but SUN Percy's impressions - can they tell the difference? Woven SUN into the rounds will be snippets about Percy's life from SUN the BBC archive, including appearances on Parkinson, Wogan SUN and Morecambe and Wise, revealing the importance of his SUN work in raising the public's awareness of wildlife and the SUN significance of his role as an ornithologist.

MON It has been revealed that the UK has the lowest rape MON conviction rates out of thirty-three European countries MON listed in a new study to be published by London MON Metropolitan University. Why do our institutions compare MON so badly with those across the channel in securing MON convictions for sexual assault? Simon Foy, Commander of MON Homicide, Rape and Serious Sexual Violence at the MON Metropolitan Police Authority and Fay Maxted, from the MON Survivor's Trust, join Jane to discuss why it's thought MON the new 'Rape Support Programme' will soon be able to MON offer some answers. Jane also visits a Sexual Assault MON Referral Centre to find out more about how these centres MON are improving the care and treatment of victims. MON Girls now out-perform boys in every subject of the MON curriculum except maths and science, with almost 50 per MON cent going on to university or college, as opposed to MON fewer than 40 per cent of boys. Considering that less than MON a century ago the chances of a girl even being allowed MON near a university were negligible, this is a remarkable MON reversal of fortunes. But has girls' success been at the MON cost of their male peers? What can be done to help get MON boys back on track? Jane speaks to Sue Palmer, author of MON 21st Century Boys, a guide for parents, politicians and MON the public at large. MON American singer Maureen McGovern has spent nearly forty MON years songwriting and performing for concerts, television MON and film. Her repertoire includes pop, scat, easy MON listening and musical theatre. She tells Jane about how MON listening to the Beatles helped her through high school; MON how, in the 1970s, she became known as the MON 'disaster-theme-queen' (when she recorded the themes for MON the Poseidon Adventure and Towering Inferno); and how her MON current CD, a musical scrapbook from the 1960s to the MON early '70s, takes her back to her roots as a folk singer.

MON MON 15:00 Archive on 4 b00kc071 (Listen) MON A Laureate's Legacy - The Poetry Archive MON Andrew Motion explores and tells the story of the proudest MON legacy of his time as Poet Laureate, The Poetry Archive - MON hundreds of poems, read by their authors and all available MON online, free to everyone. MON Motion began the Archive in 1999 with sound producer MON Richard Carrington, and it is still growing in size. It MON includes contemporary poets reading their work, including MON Seamus Heaney, UA Fanthorpe and Jackie Kay and historic MON recordings by poets including Hilaire Belloc, Siegfried MON Sassoon, WB Yeats and even Tennyson and Browning. As well MON as the poems there are sections for children and teachers, MON interviews with poets, poets in residence and useful MON information about genres, forms and metres. If you want to MON know what an anapaest is, or a pantoum, the Poetry Archive MON can help. MON Motion and Carrington talk about why they created the MON archive, and state that there is more to it than simply MON preserving poets reading their work. Motion develops his MON theme that poetry is primarily an aural art, and what this MON reveals. The poet's voice is fundamental: the windswept MON moor is in the voice of Ted Hughes; Charles Causley's MON Cornish accent and dialect are important. The sound of a MON poem is an aspect of its meaning. At the recording session MON when Carol Ann Duffy reads her book Rapture for the MON archive, Richard Carrington speaks about his role: not to MON coax a performance so much as to help the poets to be MON themselves. MON Andrew Motion and Richard Carrington lead us around the MON archive, playing gems that we might otherwise have missed. MON They talk, too, about what is missing, and appeal to MON people who might have recordings. For example, they do not MON know how Thomas Hardy, AE Housman and DH Lawrence sounded MON because as far as we know they never made recordings. But MON they might have, and one day they might turn up.

MON MON 20:00 Foes Reunited b00kdr59 (Listen) MON Reporter Andy Martin investigates why the first generation MON to grow up with peace in Northern Ireland is using social MON networking sites to spread messages of sectarian hatred. MON Until recently it was safe for many to assume that life in MON Northern Ireland was more settled than it had been for MON decades. However, research carried out by Queens MON University, Belfast, pointed out something that many youth MON workers on the front line, and anyone looking at Bebo or MON Facebook websites, already knew: that the young people MON growing up with peace were showing themselves to be just MON as sectarian as their parents and grandparents. MON Messages of abuse and murals of segregation may be coming MON down from the gables of houses and buildings, but on the MON 'walls' of social networking sites they are multiplying MON rapidly. MON Andy asks why teenagers with no direct experience of the MON Troubles are determined to continue the arguments and MON sectarianism of the past. He talks to young people who MON explain why their harbour such feelings. He talks to MON teachers, parents and youth workers about the difficulties MON of policing these websites, which are being used to MON organise meetings between Catholics and Protestants to MON taunt one another and even to fight or riot. MON The programme also examines cases where such hatred has MON led to savage violence and murder. MON MON 20:30 Crossing Continents b00gdjvc (Listen) MON Malaysia: Racial Supremacy No More? MON For nearly four decades, ethnic Malays have benefited from MON positive discrimination over Malaysians of ethnic Chinese MON and Indian origin - which make up nearly 40 percent of the MON population. MON But in 2008, the country's unique racial compact began to MON be strongly challenged from within. Mukul Devichand MON reports on the tensions and meets Malay, Indian and MON Chinese young people on the front lines of the struggle MON between ingrained racism and the possibility of a more MON equal future. MON MON 21:00 Costing the Earth b00kdr5c (Listen) MON Whose Amazon Is It Anyway? MON In negotiations for the global climate change deal due to MON be sealed at the UN conference in Copenhagen at the end of MON 2009, a key issue will be the system of financial MON incentives to reward developing countries that succeed in MON reducing the rate of deforestation. MON This implicitly recognises tropical forests - especially MON the Amazon, biggest of them all - as part of the common MON global heritage, and in Brazil this can play into MON long-standing and widely-believed fears of an MON international plot to wrest sovereignty of the forest from MON the Brazilian nation, for financial and strategic ends. MON The sensitivity of this issue was shown by the furore over MON Johan Eliasch's acquisition of a large area of forest and MON the perception that through the Cool Earth website, MON sovereign Brazilian territory is in effect being sold MON online. The fears have been further stoked by reports from MON the Brazilian intelligence service and serving military MON officers, claiming that the presence of large numbers of MON international NGOs working in indigenous-controlled MON frontier areas represents a significant security threat. MON Under the Amazon Fund system set up by the Brazilians this MON year, foreign donations (one billion US dollars MON anticipated in 2008-2009) linked to reduced deforestation MON are administered entirely by a committee of Brazilians, MON aimed at pre-empting claims of 'internationalisation' of MON the Amazon. MON This programme looks at how this debate is playing out in MON Brazil; on the one hand, deforestation is increasingly MON seen as a national disgrace that stains the country's MON global reputation, but on the other is a reluctance to be MON lectured by interfering foreigners who destroyed their own MON forests centuries ago.

THU In negotiations for the global climate change deal due to THU be sealed at the UN conference in Copenhagen at the end of THU 2009, a key issue will be the system of financial THU incentives to reward developing countries that succeed in THU reducing the rate of deforestation. THU This implicitly recognises tropical forests - especially THU the Amazon, biggest of them all - as part of the common THU global heritage, and in Brazil this can play into THU long-standing and widely-believed fears of an THU international plot to wrest sovereignty of the forest from THU the Brazilian nation, for financial and strategic ends. THU The sensitivity of this issue was shown by the furore over THU Johan Eliasch's acquisition of a large area of forest and THU the perception that through the Cool Earth website, THU sovereign Brazilian territory is in effect being sold THU online. The fears have been further stoked by reports from THU the Brazilian intelligence service and serving military THU officers, claiming that the presence of large numbers of THU international NGOs working in indigenous-controlled THU frontier areas represents a significant security threat. THU Under the Amazon Fund system set up by the Brazilians this THU year, foreign donations (one billion US dollars THU anticipated in 2008-2009) linked to reduced deforestation THU are administered entirely by a committee of Brazilians, THU aimed at pre-empting claims of 'internationalisation' of THU the Amazon. THU This programme looks at how this debate is playing out in THU Brazil; on the one hand, deforestation is increasingly THU seen as a national disgrace that stains the country's THU global reputation, but on the other is a reluctance to be THU lectured by interfering foreigners who destroyed their own THU forests centuries ago.

THU Professor Beddington is concerned that rising demand for THU food, water and energy will coincide with depleted THU resources and global change to produce the conditions for THU what he calls a 'perfect storm' - a global crisis that THU could strike by the year 2030. We need to use science and THU technology to put measures in place now, he says, if we THU are going to avoid global shortages of food, water and THU energy in 20 years time.
