SAT Alzheimers and dementia are becoming increasingly prevalent SAT in our ageing society, but the message this group is keen to SAT portray is that a diagnosis doesn't mean the end of a happy SAT or fulfilling life. They get together once a week to walk SAT for several hours and find that walking not only stimulates SAT the mind, but helps them overcome anxieties and problems to SAT do with the loss confidence and self esteem that stem from SAT having the disease. Clare joins the Forget Me Not group on SAT one of their hikes and discovers a very lively group of SAT people who share a lot of laughs along the way, even when SAT they get lost in a field at the end of their walk.

SAT SAT 11:00 Beyond Westminster b00twwf4 (Listen) SAT As Nick Clegg tries to reassure his party, and as Labour is SAT poised for a new supremo, what is the essence of good SAT political leadership? Beyond the debate about policy SAT specifics, what human qualities are essential? Can these be SAT taught or learned over time or do some individuals just have SAT them while others never will? Is luck essential or can SAT adversity be the best way to improve leadership skills? Is SAT what's required changing or is it timeless?

SAT SAT It used to be a rather less reported corner of the Middle SAT East. But lately Yemen has been attracting some unwanted SAT attention. A branch of Al Qaeda has taken root in its SAT rugged, lawless countryside. And this has added to problems SAT caused by rebels in the north, and seccessionist tensions in SAT the south. But on a journey into the mountains, Paul Harper SAT saw quite a different .....much less troubled.... side of SAT Yemen.. SAT SAT For the first time in nearly a century, a service has been SAT held in an ancient Armenian church in eastern Turkey. The SAT Turkish government allowed the act of worship to go ahead as SAT a gesture of reconciliation towards the Armenian minority -- SAT which was subjected to mass killing and deportation during SAT the First World War. Jonathan Head was there to watch the SAT service in the church in the province of Van, and he's been SAT reflecting on local attitude's towards the past. SAT SAT It's fifty years since Nigeria became an independent nation. SAT The British colonialists handed over power, and sailed away SAT in October, 1960. But preparations for that parting of the SAT two nations had brought two men together -- one British, and SAT one Nigerian. They forged a friendship that's endured down SAT through the decades. And Anna Horsbrugh-Porter was there SAT when they met again, back in northern Nigeria all these SAT years on.. SAT SAT The elections in Venezuela on Sunday are for new MPs rather SAT than a new president. But no-one there's in any doubt the SAT people will actually be giving their opinions on ten years SAT of rule by their controversial leader Hugo Chavez. At the SAT moment the National Assembly is made up, almost entirely, of SAT parties loyal to the president. This is partly because the SAT opposition boycotted the last poll five years ago. This time SAT around the opposition's taking part and concentrating its SAT efforts on one big issue, rising crime. As the campaign SAT reached its climax, Will Grant sought a little peace and SAT quiet in the coastal village of Puerto Maya: SAT SAT These are bleak economic times in the United States. Just SAT lately, its capitalist game has seemed much harder to play. SAT More people have wound up feeling like losers, than SAT winners... But there's nowhere in America that better SAT understands the business of winning and losing than Las SAT Vegas..... And in the decline of one of Vegas's legends, SAT Kevin Connolly found further evidence of the fading of the SAT American Dream....

SAT It's the end of their lives where they can rest in peace". SAT World renowned choral conductor Sir David Willcocks, shares SAT his personal reflections on the Faure Requiem alongside SAT those for whom the music has comforted and inspired. Known SAT for its peaceful and hopeful nature the Faure Requiem has SAT been called 'The lullaby of death'. Whilst Gabriel Faure SAT himself never spoke directly about what inspired his SAT interpretation of the Requiem, author and biographer Jessica SAT Duchen has speculated that it may have been born out of his SAT experience as a soldier during the Franco-Prussian war. In SAT this edition of Soul music, personal stories of conflict and SAT deliverance are shared from across the decades. Reaching SAT from the beaches of Normandy to the plains of Afghanistan SAT and into the skies of Salisbury. Faure composed the first SAT version of the work, which he called "un petit Requiem" with SAT five movements, of which the Pie Jesu and In Paradisum have SAT become arguably the most popular. "Everything I managed to SAT entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my SAT Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end SAT by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest.".

There was concern over the summer SAT that the world's economic powerhouse could be about to enter SAT a double-dip recession, dragging rest of the world down with SAT it. Those fears might may have now subsided, so how is the SAT US economy actually faring? And can the rest of the world SAT thrive without a booming America? The panel also discusses SAT sponsorship - how companies decide which events to back, and SAT how much to spend. SAT SAT Evan is joined in the studio by Nani Beccalli-Falco, SAT President and Chief Executive of GE International; Trevor SAT Matthews, Chief Executive of Friends Provident; Mike Lynch, SAT founder and Chief Executive of Autonomy.

SAT SAT 19:00 Profile b00twyw9 (Listen) SAT Eric Daniels SAT SAT Eric Daniels, CEO of Lloyds, Britain's biggest retail bank, SAT who announced this week that he will retire in 12 months SAT with an estimated £13 million pay off package. He's the last SAT survivor of the big banking beasts - Fred "the Shred" SAT Goodwin and co - who were at the helm when the banking SAT crisis struck. Daniels is still being pursued by angry SAT shareholders who saw their stake plummet after he presided SAT over the Lloyds takeover of HBOS. SAT SAT A heavy smoking, cricket-loving American, of Chinese/German SAT parentage, Eric Daniels won a reputation as the quiet man, a SAT safe pair of hands, risk averse: the archetypal boring SAT banker. That was before Gordon Brown persuaded him and his SAT chairman at Lloyds to take on HBOS at the hight of the SAT banking crisis. Triumph rapidly turned to disaster. As the SAT Independent Banking Commission this week reveals its plans SAT to re-shape the banking sector, Morland Sanders profiles a SAT respected City figure, and through Daniels' story, throws a SAT revealing light on Britain's recent banking culture and SAT crisis.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b00tx2bc (Listen) SAT Open that Door: Gay Comedy in the Last 30 Years SAT SAT It's 30 years since comedian Simon Fanshawe first stood up SAT on stage to perform his style of comedy dealing openly with SAT gay issues. Until the advent of Alternative Comedy, the SAT subject of gay sexuality and lifestyles had been dealt with SAT by veiled allusion, nudges and camp. SAT SAT To cross the boundary between innuendo and overt declaration SAT was to court career suicide. Yet suddenly, comedians like SAT Fanshawe and Julian Clary proclaimed their sexuality and SAT made it the subject of their comedy performances. SAT SAT Since then, Gay Stand Up has evolved out of the margins into SAT a staple of mainstream entertainment. In a single SAT generation, gays have gone from being the stick with which SAT the Right beat the loony Left to the sign of political SAT modernity, the litmus test of liberality, the essential SAT credential of change. Against the backdrop of sweeping SAT legislative and social emancipation, gays have emerged from SAT an underground counter-culture into mainstream public life. SAT SAT Simon revisits his roots in Stand Up comedy to chart this SAT cultural journey with interviews and archive of performers SAT old and new. He talks to leading comedians and writers about SAT how they tackle gay themes. SAT SAT Julian Clary describes what it was like being "out" in the SAT early days; Barry Cryer talks about writing material for SAT performers such as Frankie Howerd and about the impact of SAT Alternative Comedy in changing performance styles and SAT audience attitude. Graham Norton and Rhona Cameron discuss SAT the development of their careers into the mainstream via SAT stage, radio and tv. He talks to performers of a younger SAT generation like Paul Sinha, visits contemporary stand up SAT venues to find out what's entertaining audiences and SAT examines how "straight" comedians are once more dealing with SAT gay themes.

It's a difficult time as wheat SUN prices are high and so competition for grain is fierce. SUN SUN Fires, droughts and speculation in the wheat market together SUN with poor harvests of durum wheat is creating a rise in SUN prices. Pasta producers all over the world compete for the SUN best quality semolina, produced from the milled, high SUN protein and low yielding durum crop. SUN SUN John Dickie, Professor of Italian Studies at University SUN College London, outlines the rise and rise of pasta making SUN in Italy dating back to the Middle Ages. Sicily had a large SUN scale pasta export business dating back at least 1000 years SUN but it wasn't until Italy's economic boom of the 1960's that SUN pasta became a truly national dish. SUN SUN Reporter Dany Mintzman follows five tonnes of spaghetti as SUN it travels along the production line of the world's largest SUN pasta factory, owned by Barilla, a family owned business SUN started in the 1870s. SUN SUN Farmers in the UK used to grow durum wheat when it was an EU SUN subsidised crop. Although it is best suited to hot and dry SUN weather conditions a lot of it was then used by British SUN companies producing dried pasta for the supermarkets. That SUN is no longer the case and the last factory selling mass SUN market pasta stopped production in 2001, unable to compete SUN with the vast scale of the Italian producers. SUN SUN However in Cornwall, one farmer, Charlie Watson-Smyth has SUN spent the last two years trying to grow durum wheat and then SUN turn it into pasta to sell in his farm shop. As reporter SUN Dilly Barlow discovers it's been such a success that he's SUN now supplying The Eden Project and restaurants around Padstow.

SUN SUN What were the hopes and aspirations at the time they won SUN their freedom from colonialism in 1960? What are today's SUN challenges and opportunities? This week Robin visits SUN Nigeria, formerly a British colony. SUN SUN Despite vast oil wealth, the lights regularly go out, SUN there's a heated national debate about corruption, and the SUN country spends billions of dollars importing food when it SUN could be growing it. SUN SUN Robin meets a businessman who makes power cables, but can't SUN get regular electricity to manufacture them, a state SUN governor who wants to change agriculture and education, and SUN a group of young activists vowing to change next year's SUN presidential election.

Resilience in an TUE ecological sense means the ability of a wilderness, an TUE ocean, to continue to function in the light of external TUE change. The sea is made of community upon community of TUE animals, plants and microbes which eat each other, grow on TUE each other, parasitise each other in such a way that TUE nutrient is circulated and populations of species are sustained. TUE TUE Howard Stableford will be in the Mississippi Delta area TUE gathering information about the resilience of a huge river TUE Delta and its relationship with the sea. TUE TUE Kelvin Boot will be talking to experts about the sea's TUE ability to rebuff pollution events and human exploitation. TUE TUE How much flex is in the system? We'll find out. TUE TUE Presented by Kelvin Boot TUE Produced by Sheena Duncan TUE Editor Julian Hector. TUE TUE 11:30 Gauguin: The Right to Dare b00txhf5 (Listen) TUE Paul Gauguin asked August Strindberg to write an TUE introduction to his catalogue exhibition. TUE TUE In response, Strindberg wrote passionately, but regretfully TUE that he couldn't as he didn't like Gauguin's work and while TUE he struggled to explain his antipathy, he wrote "What is he TUE then? He is Gauguin, the savage who hates the restraints of TUE civilisation, who has something of the Titan who, jealous of TUE the creator, makes his own little creation in his spare TUE time, the child who takes toys apart to make others, the one TUE who renounces and defies, preferring to see the sky red, TUE rather than blue with the crowd." TUE TUE By the time he's written these words he begins to understand TUE this controversial artist's work and exclaims "Upon my word, TUE it seems to me that, now I've become excited writing, I'm TUE starting to have a certain understanding of Gauguin's art. TUE TUE The last romantic, the leading light in Symbolist painting, TUE the primitive sophisticate, 'decivilising' painter of the TUE French colonial tropics and revolutionary colourist - Paul TUE Gauguin's work shaped modern art. His rejection of the TUE bourgeois Parisian lifestyle of a stockbroker and wild TUE escape to an archipelago of tiny, remote Pacific islands is TUE the stuff of modern artistic legend. But to this day he TUE remains a very controversial figure, lauded on the one hand TUE and vilified by critics on the other. TUE TUE Our title is taken from Gauguin's life-maxim - that he TUE demanded "The right to dare to do anything." The 'right to TUE dare' goes to the heart of our argument here - and of our TUE assessment of the contemporary importance of Gauguin's art . TUE We investigate the ways in which Gauguin pushed at the TUE boundaries of convention both in art and life and explore TUE the legacy of that daring in terms of Gauguin's influence TUE today.

In the second part of our TUE series charting the behind- the-scenes preparations, we TUE catch up with progress at Welsh host city, Newport, in South TUE Wales. TUE TUE It's January 2010, and Celtic Manor director Russell TUE Phillips waits anxiously for the go-ahead to demolish a TUE derelict listed farmhouse right next to the eighteenth TUE hole...but the planning process is complicated, and time is TUE running out to relocate the ruin before the world's media TUE beam images of it across the world... TUE TUE At the clubhouse, interviews are underway to find golf TUE assistants..in an area devastated by the economic TUE recession, every job is precious - and unemployed warehouse TUE worker Selwyn fights off nerves as he faces very stiff TUE competition. TUE TUE Meanwhile, Newport City council leader Matthew Evans's TUE nerves are already frayed, as he finds out a vital TUE footbridge linking the railway station to the city may not TUE be ready for the Ryder Cup. TUE TUE And as new revelations about Tiger Woods hit the headlines, TUE there's still a question-mark over whether the world's most TUE famous golfer will even make the Ryder Cup... TUE TUE 16:00 Tracing Your Roots b00txhj8 (Listen) TUE Series 5, Episode 3 TUE TUE This week the popular Radio 4 genealogy show presented by TUE Sally Magnusson features listeners whose ancestors may have TUE been involved in revolution or radical actions. TUE TUE Trying to find records pertaining to revolutions is always TUE tricky, since by their nature revolutions are fraught with TUE chaos and upheaval. Files tend to be mislaid or destroyed, TUE or too secret to have been placed in national archives. TUE However, when an ancestor gets involved with revolution as TUE well as high profile legal wrangling, there's a much better TUE chance of striking gold. In this week's programme, Listener TUE Anne Induni finds out the true story of her ancestor's TUE arrest, for killing a politician in a 19th century Swiss TUE revolution, and there are a whole lot more eye popping TUE revelations about his activities. TUE TUE When Judy Thompson wrote into the programme wanting to find TUE out about her French ancestor's activities in the Paris TUE Commune of 1871, she was hoping to track down more details TUE from French archives, but found getting access and TUE information baffling for a non gallic speaker. Author Gavin TUE Dowd has been through the process and joins the team to TUE dispense advice. TUE TUE And another listener is keen to verify if she really is the TUE great great great granddaughter of the assassin of a British TUE 19th century Prime Minister. The first and only successful TUE attempt in British history didn't quite spark a revolution, TUE but has left a legacy in the modern House of Commons. TUE TUE And regular studio guest Dr Nick Barratt is on hand to TUE dispense advice and tips on how to trace revolutionaries in TUE your family tree. TUE TUE 16:30 Great Lives b00txhlb (Listen) TUE Series 22, Walt Disney TUE TUE Satirical cartoonist Gerald Scarfe nominates Walt Disney. TUE TUE Gerald Scarfe spent much of his childhood in his sick bed, TUE so it's not surprising that Disney cartoons and feature TUE films meant so much to him. He can still recall the thrill TUE at the prospect of seeing Pinocchio at the cinema, and then TUE the agony of being lead away again in the rain because the TUE tickets were too expensive. TUE TUE Walt Disney came from a working family. His god-fearing TUE father Elias, said by one writer to have 'hated Capital, and TUE favoured Labour, but really needed to make a buck', found TUE work where he could. So Walt lived a peripatetic childhood, TUE and sought solace in drawing and play acting. Hard times TUE early on did not make Walt frugal with money in adulthood, TUE and despite the huge successes of the golden era of Disney, TUE it was only with the opening of Disneyland that Walt TUE attained any substantial personal wealth.

TUE TUE They contribute £3 billion to the British economy and are a TUE key source of revenue for UK higher education. Yet in the TUE media foreign students seem to appear only as suspected TUE terrorists (in the wake of the arrest of the former UCL TUE student Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab) or as cash cows for TUE British universities, and most recently as possible illegal TUE immigrants. TUE TUE What does it feel like to be seen as cash cow, possible TUE illegal immigrant or possible terrorist? Are the British as TUE hospitable as we like to think, and exactly how world class TUE is British higher education? Why do foreign students come to TUE study in Britain and how does the dream measure up against TUE the reality? TUE TUE This programme also explores another story: how the presence TUE of foreign students reveals the tensions and contradictions TUE within a UK 'national' education system now operating in a TUE globalised world driven by market forces. If Britain thinks TUE of foreign students as a problem, they will go elsewhere TUE (Sweden now offers degrees in English with no fees at all TUE for foreign students) and UK higher education will become TUE the Bates Motel of the global education world, somewhere off TUE the main road.

TUE TUE 23:00 Shappi Talk b00lh4yp (Listen) TUE Iranian comedian Shappi Khorsandi was brought to this TUE country and a child and grew up in a very unusual and un TUE British family. TUE TUE Her father was one of Iran's top satirists and the family TUE were forced to leave their home country as her father was TUE termed a political dissident. As she grew up, it became TUE apparent that the Khorsandi household was a little different TUE from some of the families that Shappi had been friends with. TUE TUE Shappi Talk takes this alternative background for Shappi to TUE host a four part comedy series where she takes four elements TUE of this upbringing to hilariously reveal what it was like TUE growing up in a non-British family. TUE TUE Joining Shappi will be comedian Felix Dexter who was born in TUE St Kitts and moved to the UK as a child and each week Shappi TUE also chats to another guest 'on location' and this time TUE she's joined by Meera Syal.

WED WED 11:00 Parting Shots b00txhq3 (Listen) WED Series 2, Episode 1 WED WED Matthew Parris returns with more revealing despatches from WED Foreign Office archives in a new series celebrating WED diplomacy's least diplomatic tradition. WED WED Until 2006, a British ambassador departing a foreign capital WED would write a valedictory despatch, a candid and often very WED funny report summing up their time at the post. Ambassadors WED heading into retirement would reflect back on their whole WED career; an elegant formal equivalent of the unguarded WED speeches one sometimes hears at office leaving-dos. WED WED During a stint as a desk officer in the diplomatic service WED in the 1970s, one of Matthew Parris' duties was to copy the WED most celebrated despatches and - to those with the WED appropriate security clearance - circulate them across Whitehall. WED WED As classified documents these reports were never intended WED for prying eyes, but by returning to the Freedom of WED Information process and to the National Archives the WED programme team have unearthed a fresh treasure trove of this WED glorious tradition of indiscretion. WED WED In this programme, foreigners are once more the butt of the WED jokes, as ambassadors cast an unsparing eye over the WED national characteristics of their unwitting overseas hosts. WED WED Also in this episode, we look at how diplomats in years gone WED by paid tribute in their valedictories to their wives - the WED famous 'trailing spouse' who sacrifices her own career to WED act as unpaid cook, cleaner and hotel manager in embassy WED residences from Cairo to Kathmandu.

WED WED 21:00 Costing the Earth b00txj0j (Listen) WED The UK's carbon capture and storage (CCS) sector could WED sustain 100,000 jobs by 2030 and generate up to £6.5bn a WED year. The Energy Act 2010 made law plans to raise a levy on WED power users to establish four CCS projects in Britain and WED the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA), says WED Britain is now at the forefront of this new technology. But WED could this also put Britain at the forefront of an expensive WED mistake? WED WED Christene Ehlig-Economides, professor of energy engineering WED at Texas A&M, and Michael Economides, professor of chemical WED engineering at University of Houston recently published a WED report looking at the need to store CO2 in an enclosed WED space. Their calculations suggest that the volume of CO2 to WED be disposed cannot exceed more than about 1% of pore space. WED This will require from 5 to 20 times more underground WED reservoir volume than has been envisioned by many, and it WED renders geologic sequestration of CO2 a non-starter. WED "It is like putting a bicycle pump up against a wall. It WED would be hard to inject CO2 into a closed system without WED eventually producing so much pressure that it fractured the WED rock and allowed the carbon to migrate to other zones and WED possibly escape to the surface," Economides said. WED WED Their findings have been disputed but in another blow to CCS WED The Mongstad project in Norway, developed by oil firm WED Statoil, which was seen as one of the first to start WED full-scale operation has been set back. The current WED government cannot commit to the money needed to keep the WED project on track so it will be put on hold until at least 2014. WED WED But does this mean the idea should be given up by our own WED new government? At the University of Nottingham Mineral WED carbonation is a promising technology which captures CO2 by WED reacting it with magnesium or calcium rich minerals, WED producing valuable carbonates and doing away with the need WED for vast underground storage. If it works it could provide a WED much needed solution with less inherent risk. The big WED question remains how much we are willing to pay for the fix. WED Tom Heap investigates.

He was, rightly, a huge star in FRI Scotland, and although he may be long gone I'd hate for him FRI to be forgotten. So this is my tribute to the great Tommy FRI Lorne entitled, in the words of his own, famous catch FRI phrase: 'In the Name of the Wee Man.'" FRI FRI The play follows Tommy's own life story from 1890 to 1935, FRI of how he became a star in Scotland, touring sometimes to FRI twelve venues a week, and becoming the most popular FRI pantomime dame of the era; but he pushed himself too hard, FRI and in 1935 the pressure of work was too much and Tommy FRI collapsed at the Kings Theatre Edinburgh before a show.
