He is looking at religious images from India, SAT France, Mexico and Turkey. SAT SAT Today - in the last programme of the second series - he is SAT with one of the most instantly recognisable sculptures in SAT the world: one of the giant stone heads that were made on SAT Easter Island in the South Eastern Pacific Ocean. These SAT deeply mysterious objects lead Neil to consider why they SAT were made and why many were ultimately thrown down. SAT SAT What was the Easter Islanders understanding of their gods SAT and their ancestors? Steve Hooper, an expert on the arts of SAT the Pacific, and the internationally renowned sculptor Sir SAT Anthony Caro both respond to this monumental work of devotion.

SAT SAT 11:30 From Our Own Correspondent b00syqmv (Listen) SAT Our correspondents have many tricky moments. But not all of SAT them come on front lines, or at dangerous checkpoints. Some SAT come at the dinner table. SAT SAT The face veil worn by some Muslim women is meant to deflect SAT unwelcome attention. But it's doing rather the opposite in SAT France at the moment. The wearing of the veil there is SAT attracting huge political attention. Parliament is debating SAT whether to ban it. Those opposing the veil see it....among SAT other things....as an affront to France's commitment to SAT equality. But as Christian Fraser explains, it's a sensitive SAT issue that raises questions about the place of Islam in SAT French society. SAT SAT History has a way of repeating itself in Afghanistan's wars. SAT Back in the seventies, the Russians handed the fight over to SAT the Afghan army, and withdrew. And now the Americans hope to SAT do something similar. So how quickly might the Afghan forces SAT be big enough and strong enough for the job....? Well, much SAT depends on the kind of training programme that Frank Gardner SAT has been watching at a base in the south of the country. SAT SAT The West looks economically exhausted -- badly overspent, SAT and deep in debt. Europe is braced for a coming "age of SAT austerity". But in China....on the other hand....all the SAT talk is of coming prosperity. Its economy may grow by as SAT much as eleven percent next year. And Michael Robinson says SAT China's car-makers are poised to mount a new challenge the SAT industry's established giants around the world.... SAT SAT That was Michael Robinson....and you can hear more from him SAT in a new, weekly series called "China; Shaking the World", SAT starting on the World Service on Monday. SAT SAT For years now, Gaza has been blockaded. Its confrontation SAT with Israel has made it extremely difficult for goods and SAT people to come and go. Gazans often talk of their tiny, SAT strip of territory as being a kind of prison. But some have SAT actually managed to dig their way out. Tunnels have been a SAT kind of economic lifeline. And as Jon Donnison explains, SAT it's been possible to make serious money with a shovel in SAT the sands of Gaza.... SAT SAT Our correspondents have many tricky moments. But not all of SAT them come on front lines, or at dangerous checkpoints. Some SAT come at the dinner table. There are times in more remote SAT places when it would be rude not to eat what you're given. SAT But that's not always easy. I remember once....in the SAT Kyrghyz mountains.... very much struggling to finish a SAT sheep's ear.... And Rajesh Mirchandani has just had a rather SAT similar experience in Alaska....

Sam Dale SAT SAT Directed by Toby Swift SAT SAT 15:30 The FAE Sonata b00sjbsx (Listen) SAT Frei Aber Einsam - 'free but lonely' - was the motto of the SAT great 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim. It's also the SAT name of a Violin Sonata played by Joachim, accompanied by SAT Clara Schumann, that resulted from a collaboration between SAT the composer Robert Schumann and two of his pupils, Johannes SAT Brahms and Albert Dietrich. SAT SAT On the 200th anniversary of Schumann's birth, Tom Robinson SAT examines the complex relationships between these romantic SAT artists through the prism of this piece of music. Schumann's SAT passionate love for his wife Clara is matched only by SAT Brahms' devotion to her during and following Schumann's SAT decline into mental illness. SAT SAT Brahms was also a close champion of Joachim, until the SAT violinist's divorce, when they fell out over the composer's SAT support for Joachims' wife. And the FAE Sonata itself was SAT neglected - an innocent victim - until long after Brahms' SAT death. SAT SAT Tom unpicks the romantic and turbulent story of a musical SAT collaboration with the help of pianist and Schumann champion SAT Lucy Parham, violinist Tasmin Little, Robert John Godfrey of SAT 'The Enid' and Radio 3's Andrew McGregor.

SAT SAT 17:30 The Bottom Line b00sxtc0 (Listen) SAT Evan Davis is joined in the studio by top business guests to SAT discuss the fear of technology and the difficulties of SAT working with people you don't like. SAT SAT When we constantly hear about revolutionising effect of SAT technology on the business world, it's easy to forget that SAT many people are suspicious of new innovations. Technophobia SAT may stem from legitimate concerns, and it can hit companies SAT working in the high-tech sphere, especially when SAT communication doesn't keep pace with invention. The panel SAT discusses fear of genetically modified crops, internet SAT security and more. SAT SAT Also on the programme: working with people you don't like. SAT They are the tricky ones, those with tough personalities and SAT idiosyncratic habits. We hear how the bosses on our panel SAT have dealt with difficult characters throughout their SAT careers and how they manage these types today. SAT SAT Evan's guests are John Atkin, chief operating officer of SAT Syngenta; Eric Grosse, president of Expedia Worldwide; and SAT John McLaren, chairman of Barchester Group.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b00sysh4 (Listen) SAT I'm On The Train SAT SAT Does the daily experience of the embattled commuter define SAT the British national character almost better than anything SAT else? Consider the need for endurance and stoicism, the SAT acceptance of the ritual of the queue and the ability to SAT completely blank out one's neighbours? SAT SAT As part of the London season this is the starting point for SAT writer and broadcaster Ian Marchant as he eavesdrops upon SAT the experiences of generations of hapless commuters. SAT Acknowledging the first commuter line which was built in the SAT 1830s, this feature documentary bears testimony to the SAT cumulative toll exacted by that daily dose of suspended SAT animation, tepid coffees and half-completed crosswords. Ian SAT reflects on the way in which mobiles and laptops have SAT transformed our experience of public and private space. SAT Addressing the daily round of anxious clock-watching, dashed SAT hopes, and frequently failed expectations, Ian shares his SAT theories on the existence of a new time zone to describe the SAT experience of wasted hours: British Nothing Time. BNT, he SAT convincingly demonstrates, is intricately woven through the SAT best years of our lives SAT SAT He will look at how generations have dealt with the need for SAT diversion looking at the heydayof the crossword, its recent SAT eclipse by Sudoku, the tonnage of newspapers glanced at and SAT discarded, and the onward march of gadgets, from transistor SAT radios to iPods. With these changes have come a SAT renegotiation of what is private and public, as people SAT loudly regale a whole carriage with the intimacies of their SAT supposedly private lives. He'll also find out about the SAT relationships that have formed and foundered on the train, SAT and about the train as a creative space - an astonishing SAT number of first novels were not only drafted but also SAT completed on the 07.48 and the 17.55. SAT SAT And, as we'll hear, the commute is no innocent activity: its SAT existence has fuelled the disappearance of the clear lines SAT between town and country. SAT SAT Producer: Mark Smalley. SAT SAT 21:00 Classic Serial b00swkc1 (Listen) SAT Summer Lightning, Episode 1 SAT SAT A star cast in a timeless comedy. SAT SAT Affably absent-minded Earl of Emsworth, preparing his SAT prize-winning pig Empress of Blandings for the Shropshire SAT Agricultural Show, is afraid that rival pig-owner Sir SAT Gregory Parsloe is planning to nobble his precious Empress. SAT Parsloe fears that Emsworth's brother Galahad's memoirs SAT contain scurrilous stories about their younger days in the SAT naughty 1890s - particularly a racy story involving some SAT prawns. He plans to hire private detective Percy Pilbeam to SAT purloin the manuscript. SAT SAT Emsworth's sister Lady Constance, equally desperate to stop SAT publication, also has a secret plan. SAT SAT And romance is in the air. His Lordship's new secretary and SAT Emsworth's niece Millicent are secretly in love, but need SAT financial help to pull off the marital merger. Emsworth's SAT nephew, Ronnie Fish, is also in love with an unsuitable SAT person - chorus girl Sue Brown. But Emsworth refuses to SAT allow Ronnie any more money. Ronnie concocts a plan to SAT regain his uncle's approval. SAT SAT Pig-napping, private detection, impostering, mistaken SAT situations, fisticuffs and broken engagements ensue. All is SAT set for glorious mid-summer mayhem. SAT SAT Galahad Threepwood ..... Charles Dance SAT Lady Constance ..... Patricia Hodge SAT Beach ..... Tim Pigott-Smith SAT Percy Pilbeam .....

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b00sxj2j (Listen) SAT When the government said it was asking for departments to SAT come up with plans for a 40% cut in their budget, the SAT message was clear - nothing was going to be sacred. Except SAT that is the NHS and foreign aid. While schools, police and SAT armed forces all say cuts of this magnitude will hit front SAT line services, the £7 billion a year budget for the SAT Department for International Development has been ring SAT fenced. In the depths of an unprecedented financial crisis, SAT why should foreign aid be exempt from scrutiny? Defenders SAT say there's a very clear moral imperative - if we cut SAT foreign aid people will die as a direct result. Critics SAT argue that government spending on aid has been distorted by SAT the dictates of foreign policy - how else could you explain SAT why we're giving over £800m in aid to India - a country that SAT can afford its own space programme? SAT SAT Is foreign aid a luxury we can't afford, or is this just SAT another excuse not to care - to disengage from our SAT responsibilities as one of the richest countries on earth SAT and close our eyes to the suffering of millions of people SAT around the world? SAT SAT Michael Buerk chairs with Michael Portillo, Melanie Philips, SAT Clifford Longley and Kenan Malik. SAT SAT 23:00 Quote...

Maura Dooley reads her own poem, re-telling a SAT story from 1833 of the attempts by the women of Mumbles Head SAT to rescue their men from a capsized lifeboat. There's a SAT sonnet by Keats that might strike a chord with anyone who SAT has felt the desperation of sleeplessness. 'Old Meg she was SAT a gypsy' begins another, very different poem by Keats; 'Meg SAT Merrilees.' It is one of those first lines of poetry that SAT seems to have stuck in the minds of many listeners. There's SAT also an archive reading by Henry Sandon of 'Miss Thompson SAT Goes Shopping' by Martin Armstrong.

The Russians decided that they would like to have SUN their own version of the satirical show, and a mysterious SUN fax landed on the desk of its co-creator, Roger Law. 'The SUN Russians are coming!' he announced to his team, and after SUN much confusion a team arrived from Moscow to learn the magic SUN art of making political puppets. SUN SUN But how did all this go down in the dying days of the Soviet SUN Union? At the time, Roget Law went over to Moscow to help SUN set up the show, and he can remember vodka with breakfast SUN and not very much else. Did they actually manage to make a SUN Russian version of Spitting Image? It is time for Roger to SUN go back and find out what happened to the TV producers and SUN to their satirical ambitions. SUN SUN Roger Law digs out the paperwork from 20 years ago and heads SUN off to Moscow again on a mission to track them down. Armed SUN only with a handful of faxes, letters, and a puppet of SUN Mikhail Gorbachev for company, Roger heads to the bitter SUN cold of a Moscow winter, and discovers more than he SUN bargained for.

It is a situation not envisaged by the SUN Euro's architects who created no mechanism for leaving the SUN currency or for its abolition. SUN SUN Chris Bowlby looks at the likely fate of the Euro. What will SUN happen if it is abolished and what will it look like if it SUN survives? Would Europe revert to having several different SUN currencies and how far is German economic power, which the SUN Euro was meant to contain, going to dominate the new SUN European economic order.

Robert Elms couldn't disagree more. The MON BBC London broadcaster, former punk, New Romantic and MON self-appointed social commentator is passionate about the MON capital's trademark red double deckers. Once a week he MON devotes a section of his show on BBC London to a different MON bus route. MON MON For Tales from the Top Deck, Robert has chosen the number MON 36 which slices through London on a long diagonal journey MON from New Cross Gate to Queen's Park. He wanted a MON transpontine bus - in other words a bus which crosses a MON bridge over the Thames - and one which serves both north and MON south London as well as busy tourist spots like Victoria, MON Paddington and Marble Arch. MON MON He celebrates the diversity of the capital as the bus MON travels through a multitude of different areas at all times MON of day and night picking up a remarkable mixture of MON Londoners. In Camberwell he meets a fashion designer for the MON over 40s who teaches yoga and 'body painting'. A bit further MON up the road on the top deck he sits next to a serving MON prisoner on day release trying to find a job mending boilers. MON MON Robert finds romantic stories such as the shopkeeper from MON Deptford who called the 36 his 'love bus'. He was so MON besotted with a girl who lived in Queen's Park that he often MON spent an hour and a half travelling the whole route to see MON her, all the way from South east to North west London. In MON the canteen at New Cross Gate garage he meets Natasha and MON Marcellin - a couple of bus drivers who fell in love, MON married and are now planning to retire to the Caribbean MON island of Nevis. For them the 36 has been a vehicle to their MON dreams. And he meets driver Hassan - a Turkish Cypriot who MON simply adores his job. MON MON There are also darker moments. Along the Harrow Road he MON meets Mohammed, a man who was once on death row in Iraq and MON fled to London after Saddam Hussein murdered one brother and MON nearly killed another by posioning him. MON MON Robert also stops off at some notable landmarks along the MON route from the iconic Peckham Library to the bustling 24 MON hour Ranoush Juice Bar on Edgware Road; from the sedate MON stands of the Oval Cricket ground to the burgeoning gay MON scene in Vauxhall. Chatting to grannies and school MON children, late night clubbers and early morning cleaners, MON refugees and ladies who lunch, Robert builds up a vibrant MON picture of 21st century London. MON MON Producer: Lucy Ash. MON MON 20:30 Analysis b00szxzf (Listen) MON Time to Get Real MON MON After the emergency budget, the main political parties have MON started to talk more frankly about how to plug the hole in MON the public finances. But although the coalition has MON announced plans for more ambitious cuts than first MON envisaged, it's remained coy about the all-important details MON of where the axe will fall in government departments. The MON Opposition attacks the new approach, although it too remains MON reluctant about identifying exactly where substantial MON savings can be made. MON MON Going where the politicians seem to fear to tread, Michael MON Blastland asks some of the UK's most influential policy MON experts and politicians how the difficult decisions on what MON to cut should be reached.

TUE TUE 09:00 The London Story b00szy5h (Listen) TUE Episode 2 TUE TUE Playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah discovers how London culture TUE took on the world, blazing a trail in theatre, art and TUE fashion over the last thirty years. Today London is a TUE glittering world city - its theatres an irresistible draw TUE for big name American actors while its galleries are TUE attracting visitors in ever increasing numbers and its TUE fashion - from the street to the catwalk - is setting the TUE trends. Kwame discovers what drove this success and the part TUE played by the financial services sector in contributing to TUE this creative flow. TUE TUE Back in the dark days of the Seventies London's theatre TUE swung uneasily between the edgy politics of the burgeoning TUE fringe to the West End's programme of sex comedies and TUE farces. These days challenging productions and passionate TUE writing have made London the stage for thoughtful, TUE provocative and crowd pleasing work. TUE TUE Beset by industrial instability and the three day week, the TUE Seventies weren't the best decade for artistic output - TUE the YBAs were yet to transform London's art scene and Tate TUE Modern was not even a drawing on architectural plans. Now TUE the stunning Tate Modern is firmly established as the TUE world's most prestigious museum of modern art - an essential TUE stop for tourists and Londoners alike - and building work TUE has started on its much anticipated extension. TUE TUE Kwame explores how these cultural changes in London have TUE affected the city's status and led to its swaggering self TUE belief - the envy of other capital cities around the world - TUE and finds out how much the capital relies on the City's TUE wealth and philanthropy to support its flourishing arts scene. TUE TUE 09:45 Book of the Week b00szv9n (Listen) TUE Hellhound On His Trail, Episode 2 TUE TUE Hampton Sides' compelling new book sheds fresh light on the TUE assassination of Martin Luther King and the hunt for his TUE killer, James Earl Ray.

TUE Little does King know that a fugitive called Eric S Galt, TUE aka James Earl Ray, appears to be following his every move.

This week is the 50th anniversary of Jane Goodall's TUE work in Gombe, Tanzania. Jane Goodall is famous for her work TUE on Chimpanzees and it was 50 years ago when she started her TUE research on a specific population in Africa. Television, TUE more than radio, has made some individuals from her TUE Chimpanzee study group well known and in this edition of TUE Saving Species, we have a report from Jeremy Bristow who has TUE been out to Gombe to meet Jane Goodall and some of her study TUE animals. TUE TUE Chimpanzees have been under threat for many years and for TUE many reasons including the bush meat trade, human population TUE increase and the commensurate increase in farmland incursion TUE into their forests as well as diseases that kill TUE Chimpanzees. Goodall's conservation work, often TUE controversial, over five decades in Africa has raised the TUE profile of the issues impacting on apes in Africa, but many TUE believe her work has influenced conservation beyond TUE Chimpanzees and Tanzania.

TUE TUE Kevin LeGendre charts the story of jazz in the open air, TUE starting with a teenage Louis Armstrong leading the band TUE from the Home for Colored Waifs through the streets of New TUE Orleans almost a century ago. TUE TUE Other legendary jazz performers who swapped smoky interiors TUE for notable fresh air appearances include Duke Ellington, TUE who transformed the fortunes of his orchestra with a TUE storming show at the Newport jazz festival in 1956, and TUE saxophonist Sonny Rollins, who spent months practising high TUE amongst the girders of the Williamsburg Bridge in New York TUE City. TUE TUE Kevin also hears from musician Gary Bartz, who formed a band TUE without a piano player so that they were free to perform TUE anywhere, and so could escape from the restrictions of the TUE music industry. Offering the other side of the story, the TUE acclaimed singer Bobby McFerrin reveals why he tries to TUE avoid all outdoor performances. And bringing the story right TUE up to the present, Kevin joins saxophonist Soweto Kinch TUE under a flyover in Birmingham, where he has promoted a music TUE festival amidst the concrete and thundering traffic for the TUE past three years.

In the final part of this series, WED Richard Dawkins talks to Craig Venter and other leading WED scientists about the potential powers of genome science in WED the future. WED WED In May this year, researchers at the J Craig Venter Research WED Institute announced they had succeeded in creating the WED world's first synthetic organism, dubbed 'Synthia'. They had WED constructed the entire genetic blueprint of a microbe from WED the raw chemical building blocks of DNA - a man-made WED chromosome built from scratch. This artificial genome was WED then transplanted into another bacterial cell, and 'Synthia' WED was born. WED WED As Craig Venter explains to Richard Dawkins, this is the WED only organism on the planet with a genetic ancestry that WED cannot be traced to the primordial ancestor of life on WED Earth. Its origins are a computer and a chemistry lab on the WED east coast of the United States. But what is the point? WED WED Craig Venter's vision is to use the techniques to devise WED unique 'designer' organisms for producing, for example, WED environmentally-friendly fuels - microbes that make WED hydrocarbon fuels from carbon dioxide they suck out of the WED atmosphere. WED WED Richard Dawkins asks how Venter reacts to the charge he is WED playing God. WED WED The programme also looks at other controversial scenarios WED raised by humanity's powers to scrutinise the genome. Will WED we be able to screen the genetic blueprint of new born WED babies for their lifetime risk of conditions such as obesity WED and Alzheimer's disease? In the future, should we allow WED prospective parents to choose embryos based on their WED complement of genes for intelligence, or let them add genes WED to boost brain power or physical prowess? And will it be WED possible to use ancient DNA to bring woolly mammoths back WED from dead? WED WED Producer: Andrew Luck-Baker.

The poor, those who THU couldn't write? There is one fantastic source, and it is now THU online: the Old Bailey Archives. THU THU Through court cases, we can hear the voices of the 18th THU century. Thanks to the speedy court shorthand writers, THU everyone's speech is recorded, from the posh to the poor. THU It's the nearest thing we have to a tape recording of the past. THU THU In this new series Professor Amanda Vickery presents THU dramatised extracts from gripping court cases and discusses THU with fellow historians what they reveal about 18th century THU society and culture. Amanda Vickery was the presenter of the THU highly successful "A History of Private Life" on BBC Radio 4 THU last year. THU THU The series begins with the voices of highwaymen in court. THU THU Highwaymen were celebrities, with hordes of adoring women, THU their executions a great public show. Some of them are THU revealed as charismatic, while some can hardly stutter out a THU sentence. THU THU Amanda listens to what they have to say as they face the THU gallows, with fellow historians Bob Shoemaker, Helen Berry THU and John Mullan THU THU Throughout the series there are popular ballads - about THU crime, or written by criminals - recorded for the first THU time, on location in one of Dick Turpin's hide-outs.

Six months on there are still THU one and a quarter million people living in camps. As yet, THU there is still no resettlement plan. Progress appears to be THU painfully slow. The BBC's International Development THU Correspondent, Mark Doyle, who reported from Haiti in the THU immediate aftermath of the disaster, returns to ask if THU millions of dollars raised and the billions more pledged THU will help Haiti in the long run. THU THU Despite the devastation and tragedy wrought by the THU earthquake on the poorest nation in the Americas, some THU believed that it could signal a new beginning for Haiti, a THU country plagued for many years by poverty, corruption, THU political instability and violence. However, questions are THU being asked about who is in charge, who is deciding things THU and for whose benefit. There are also significant concerns THU that the flood of money and the international organisations THU providing aid are distorting the local economy and making it THU impossible to build a self-sustaining economy. THU THU While the government talks of the need to decentralize the THU economy, to encourage people to leave the crowded capital THU Port au Prince and return to the countryside, so far there THU are few signs of how that is going to be achieved. And with THU the rainy season now begun, life for many of those living in THU camps, under tarpaulin, is deteriorating. THU THU History is not on Haiti's side. All past interventions by THU outsiders have been either disastrous for the Haitians or THU have failed to live up to their promise. No surprise, then, THU that there is growing cynicism that all the promises of help THU with materialise and bring about a better country. THU THU Producer: John Murphy. THU THU 11:30 Dick Barton: A Very Special Agent b00t0fnk (Listen) THU Alexander Armstrong examines the impact and popularity of THU special agent Dick Barton whose adventures, which began on THU BBC Radio over sixty years ago, are still enjoyed today. THU THU Dick Barton starred in the BBC's first ever daily radio THU serial, and went on to appear in over 700 episodes between THU 1946 and 1951. Every evening, millions gathered around the THU wireless feeling a rush of excitement when they heard the THU serial's memorable signature tune 'Devil's Gallop', THU listening entranced to the exploits of the ex-commando THU Captain and his faithful lieutenants Jock and Snowy. THU THU In this programme Alexander Armstrong looks back to Barton's THU arrival on Radio and discovers that despite the serial's THU enormous popularity the programme attracted many critics, THU including one listener who desribed it as "blatant sadism THU corrupting the minds of our youth using the exact method THU used by the Nazis". THU THU We discover in attempt to respond to the controversy the THU script-writers adhered to 13 codes of conduct, such as: no THU sex, no booze, no bad language and all violence must be THU limited to "clean socks on the jaw." THU THU Contributors include Gareth Johnson, son of the first actor THU to play Barton, award winning playwright Phil Wilmott and THU Barton fan John Mundy. THU THU Archive interviews include Producer Neil Tuson and various THU cast members including Thora Hird who played various female THU roles in the first few series THU THU The programme also reveals Barton's various reincarnations THU on film, television and most recently a stage musical.
