SAT SAT 06:30 Farming Today b011tsdd (Listen) SAT Farming Today This Week SAT SAT Charlotte Smith examines the government's new vision for SAT England's natural environment. As 70% of England is farmed, SAT farmers will play a key role in delivering this vision. But SAT at a time when they are being encouraged to grow more food, SAT should they also be asked to do more for wildlife? SAT SAT Secretary of State for the Environment Caroline Spelman SAT tells Farming Today more must be done to halt habitat SAT decline and save key species. The White Paper on the Natural SAT Environment introduces some controversial ways of doing SAT this, including 'habitat banking', where developers can SAT build on land which is good for wildlife as long as they SAT invest in wildlife elsewhere. SAT SAT A trip to a Herefordshire farm illustrates the challenge of SAT increasing food producing while protecting the environment.

SAT SAT 10:30 What's So Great About ...? b011ttf7 (Listen) SAT Series 3, Chaucer SAT SAT In the last of the present series in which he challenges the SAT totemic value of people and works that are widely admired, SAT Lenny Henry asks What's So Great About...Chaucer? Written SAT over 600 years ago, Chaucer's masterpiece the Canterbury SAT Tales is acclaimed as one of the greatest works of English SAT literature. Adapted thirty years ago as a hit West End SAT musical, inspiration to numerous writers and dramatists SAT who've used its tale-telling format to spin their own SAT contemporary yarns, the Tales have iconic status in the SAT literary world. Whether it's for the poetry or the ribaldry, SAT or as many admire, their apparent real-life depiction of SAT medieval England, the work of Geoffrey Chaucer is widely SAT admired. SAT SAT But is it really that good? Despite his recent embracing of SAT Shakespeare, iconoclast Lenny Henry has never been able SAT quite to swallow the acclaim accorded to Chaucer. SAT Challenging his scepticism today are Chaucer biographer and SAT eminent scholar Ardis Butterfield, playwright Mike Poulton SAT who adapted the Canterbury Tales for the Royal Shakespeare SAT Company and ex-Python and ardent Chaucerian and medievalist SAT Terry Jones. SAT SAT Producer: Simon Elmes. SAT SAT 11:00 Week in Westminster b011ttf9 (Listen) SAT Peter Riddell looks behind the scenes at Westminster. SAT SAT The headlines have been awful for the government - with SAT stories about a U-turn over prisons policy, worries over SAT economic slowdown, and, above all, the continuing SAT controversy over the future of the NHS. Two men who've seen SAT it all before are Lord Fowler, who spent six years as health SAT secretary under Margaret Thatcher, and Lord Warner, who SAT served as an adviser and later minister in the Blair SAT government. They tell the Week in Westminster what they make SAT of the government's predicament. SAT SAT NHS reform may be a minefield, but the fate of the SAT government rests with the performance of the economy. SAT Worries abound over stagnation and rising oil prices. So we SAT asked Peter Lilley and Geoffrey Robinson, both treasury SAT ministers in their time, to offer their assessment of SAT Britain's economic health. SAT SAT By contrast the debate over the future of care for older SAT people has been much less partisan, though the problems are SAT no less urgent. There has been widespread outrage at the SAT financial crisis afflicting the UK's largest care home SAT operator, Southern Cross, whose staff and thIrty-one SAT thousand residents face an uncertain future. David, now Lord SAT Lipsey and Rabbi Julia, now Baroness Neuberger, are leading SAT advocates of care reform and they've been telling us what SAT needs to be done. SAT SAT Almost a third of the Commons is made up of new MPs elected SAT for the first time last year. A survey conducted by the SAT Hansard Society shows that for many the long hours and heavy SAT load of casework has come as a bit of a shock. We asked two SAT of the new intake, Labour's Yvonne Fovargue, the member for SAT Makerfield, and David Morris, the Conservative member for SAT Morecambe and Lunesdale whether the realities of an MP's SAT life had matched their expectations. SAT SAT 11:30 From Our Own Correspondent b011ttfc (Listen) SAT The bloody events in Syria are making the government in SAT neighbouring Turkey uneasy, as Hugh Sykes has been finding SAT out; Chris Hogg's in Taiwan where, amid a thawing in SAT relations with mainland China, there are businessmen who are SAT prospering in the new climate of detente; corruption in SAT India is now so pervasive, it reaches even the smallest SAT country village but, as Craig Jeffrey's been hearing, it can SAT still be a joking matter; there's a ban on divorce in the SAT Philippines, but Kate McGeown tells us, there are ways SAT around the ban, particularly if you have money; one of our SAT most seasoned travellers, the reporter and presenter Robin SAT Lustig's visited 75 countries without losing his luggage.

SAT SAT A once-brilliant classicist, now known by boys and staff SAT alike as 'The Crock', he is retiring due to ill health. When SAT a pupil, Taplow, presents him with an unexpected gift (a SAT copy of Browning's translation of the Agamemnon) The Crock, SAT also known as the Himmler of the Lower Fifth, is SAT overwhelmed. His dammed-up misery, disappointment and SAT humiliation are released and the way is paved for a series SAT of surprising revelations and decisions. SAT SAT A brand-new production directed by Martin Jarvis with an SAT outstanding cast. Acknowledged as Rattigan's enduring SAT masterpiece, 'The Browning Version' shows the writer's SAT unrivalled ability to characterise repressed emotion, and SAT provides a devastating portrait of a dead marriage.

SAT SAT In the second part of the programme Martin Jarvis, director SAT of 'The Browning Version', reveals some of the play's SAT background and describes Rattigan's hopes, fears and SAT ambitions for its ongoing success.

As Mukti Jain Campion reports from Bangalore, the SUN founders of ipaidabribe.com says its mission is to "uncover SUN the market price of corruption" by enabling ordinary people SUN to record their experiences of bribery, where it took place SUN and how much was involved. No naming is permitted as it is SUN not about targeting individuals but instead highlights which SUN areas and procedures are most prone to corruption so that SUN they can be tackled. SUN SUN The website has already had a number of notable successes SUN such as with Bangalore's head of regional transport who SUN decided to use the website's revelations to tackle SUN corruption amongst his own staff using technology to bypass SUN the bribe-taking middlemen - including the introduction of SUN the world's first automated driving centre. SUN SUN The website is just part of a growing use of the internet SUN and social media by civil society groups to tackle SUN corruption. In April this year the blogosphere was set abuzz SUN by the hunger protest of veteran campaigner Anna Hazare to SUN force the Government to enact an anti-corruption bill that SUN had been stalled for 42 years. His fast in Delhi was SUN supported by campaigners across India and the world, fuelled SUN by Facebook and Twitter to make it the most successful use SUN of social media in an Indian protest. In the face of mass SUN media coverage and spread of what is being nicknamed SUN click-tivism, the Indian Government conceded to Anna SUN Hazare's demands after just 4 days.

Richard SUN II, having proved his mettle in quelling the Peasants' SUN Revolt, disappoints his courtiers as he pursues peace and SUN culture as an alternative to fighting and swiving. SUN SUN 'Plantagenet' tells the story of the birth of a new Europe SUN after the dark ages. The issues of control, of freedom, of SUN belief, above all, perhaps, the temptations of power which SUN are so familiar to us now were new to an age which had no SUN template for domination on this scale.

SUN SUN 16:00 Open Book b011tw7z (Listen) SUN Amitav Ghosh and Alexander Baron rediscovered SUN SUN Mariella Frostrup talks to the award-winning author Amitav SUN Ghosh about River of Smoke, the second book in Ghosh's Ibis SUN Trilogy, set in the waterways around Canton during the SUN events leading up to the start of the First Opium War in SUN 1839. SUN SUN In this week's Reading Clinic, author Joanna Kavenna SUN recommends fiction in which women rise like a phoenix from SUN the ashes. SUN SUN And we hear why Alexander Baron, the British novelist of the SUN Second World War, should be rediscovered and re-read, from SUN writer and poet Iain Sinclair. SUN SUN Producer: Ella-mai Robey. SUN SUN 16:30 Blind Date with Bloomsday b011tynw (Listen) SUN Much quoted but arguably little read, James Joyce's Ulysses SUN is a Modernist classic. Set on June 16th 1904, the author SUN cannily assigned his novel its own annual feast day. Peter SUN White travelled to Dublin on Bloomsday last year to meet the SUN celebrants who enthusiastically enact sections of the book. SUN SUN Among them - resplendent in boater and blazer - is Irish SUN Senator David Norris, a founder of Dublin's Joyce Centre, SUN explaining how an apparently random string of consonants SUN precisely captures the sound of a breaking wave. But there's SUN also the writer and Irish Times journalist John Waters who's SUN courageous enough to confess that he's only ever managed to SUN get as far as page 35 of Ulysses. "It's more important to SUN Irish tourism", he says, "than to readers". SUN SUN What Peter White realises is that whilst the text of Ulysses SUN might be dense and difficult on the page, it is in fact SUN perfectly suited to the ear, as radio - filled with gleeful SUN linguistic tricks, puns and jokes and stream of SUN consciousness bawdiness. SUN SUN Having read Ulysses in Braille, Peter finds out that Joyce SUN was long troubled by eye problems, and that the author's SUN eyesight worsened considerably whilst writing the book when SUN exiled in Zurich. As a blind man himself, Peter is SUN interested to hear how Joyce uses blindness and myopia to SUN great symbolic effect in his work - evoking the whole of SUN Dublin society by emphasising all the senses - sound, touch SUN and smell as much as sight. SUN Producer Mark Smalley. SUN SUN 17:00 File on 4 b011p6yq (Listen) SUN The Iran Connection SUN SUN Is Iran exploiting the turmoil caused by the Arab Spring, SUN and the uncertainly following the killing of Osama Bin SUN Laden?

And, with more illicit shipments of weapons from SUN Iran being seized in the Middle East, in breach of a UN arms SUN embargo, the programme also reports on the discovery of a SUN weapons smuggling ring set up in the heart of Europe to SUN service Tehran. It also investigates the involvement of a SUN former British Royal Marine in the ring. SUN Producer Ian Muir-Cochrane.

SUN SUN Time was when the City of London and the financial services SUN industry generally were the apple of most politicians' eyes. SUN The fabulous wealth they generated and taxes they paid SUN seemed to set Britain on the road to lasting prosperity SUN without having to worry about its manufacturing sector. With SUN the crash, the political consensus has turned. Now, SUN metal-bashing is back in favour and the bankers can do no SUN right. The ritual call, heard at least once a generation, SUN for Britain's economy to be more like Germany's is echoing SUN across the land again. SUN SUN But is making things rather than financial innovation really SUN the way to make Britain's economy grow faster? When we have SUN a competitive edge in banking and managing money, should we SUN cast it aside? And why should Britain's economy be the same SUN as that of other countries? SUN SUN Janan Ganesh of the "Economist" asks if we should be turning SUN our back on the goose that has laid our golden eggs for so SUN many years. And, with no immediate signs that manufacturing SUN is taking off on a bountiful new trajectory, considers if we SUN should try to understand the City better and how it can SUN assist Britain grow again.

MON MON Giles is the Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral. As MON well as being responsible for the Cathedral's money, his job MON is to reach out to the people who work in the City of MON London. MON MON St Paul's is located deep within the boiler room of global MON capitalism. Within just a few hundred yards of the cathedral MON are located most of the world's most important financial MON institutions. Billions and billions of pounds, dollars and MON yen are traded near hear every day. So how does the church MON make sense of all this financial activity? Jesus told his MON followers to give up all their possessions, yet the church MON itself is heavily involved in financial investment. Could MON this be why the church didn't seem to have much to say MON during the recent financial crisis? MON MON In this first programme, Giles investigates the teachings of MON Jesus and the early church about the value of poverty. He MON talks to church historian Diarmaid MacCulloch, and visits an MON austere Franciscan Friary in Dorset where the monks have a MON real commitment to poverty. Giles, very sceptical himself, MON challenges Brother Sam, the head of the Franciscans, and MON asks: why shouldn't Christians make money?

MON MON 20:30 Analysis b011tzlf (Listen) MON Egypt's New Islamists MON MON Edward Stourton asks if the Egyptian revolution spells the MON end of old-style Islamism.

MON MON The overthrow of Hosni Mubarak has been described as the MON Middle East's first "post-Islamic" revolution: there were no MON religious slogans or chanting in Tahrir Square and the MON protestors we saw on television were largely young, MON seemingly secular liberals. But Islam is likely to play a MON major role in the development of post-revolution Egypt, with MON the Muslim Brotherhood the biggest and best organised MON political force in the country. MON MON Edward Stourton asks what kind of society Egypt's Islamists MON want to create and explores how they are changing as they MON form political parties and prepare to contest their first MON fully democratic elections.

MON MON Producer: Martin Redfern. MON MON How to mend a broken heart MON MON A small peptide can boost the formation of new heart muscle MON cells (cardiomyocytes) after a heart attack, according to MON research in mice published this week in Nature. These MON findings indicate that resident progenitor cells can be MON encouraged to differentiate into cardiomyocytes after heart MON damage and may have important implications for MON cardiovascular regenerative medicine.

TUE TUE 11:30 The Day of the Jackal b011v1bl (Listen) TUE Celebrating 40 years of the seminal thriller The Day of the TUE Jackal, Patrick Humphries explores just what made the book TUE so riveting for him and so ground-breaking for a whole TUE generation of thriller writers influenced by its author, TUE Frederick Forsyth. TUE TUE The Day of the Jackal was extraordinary for many reasons. TUE For a start it broke so many of the 'rules' of thriller TUE writing in that the assassin has no name, the story TUE seamlessly mixes fact and fiction, the tools of the killer's TUE trade are explored in considerable detail and the outcome of TUE the story is known right from the start of the narrative. TUE Harold Harris, Forsyth's editor at publisher Hutchinson and TUE Co, noted all these new departures but still commissioned TUE Forsyth for three novels of which the first was The Day of TUE the Jackal, followed by The Odessa File and The Dogs of War. TUE TUE The eponymous Jackal is a mercenary and in the novel he is TUE hired by a real-life terrorist group, Organisation de TUE l'Armee Secrete, whose members were intent on killing the TUE French President Charles De Gaulle. The OAS wanted to retain TUE Algeria as a French colony, and when de Gaulle reneged on TUE his emotional avowal 'Vive l'Algerie francaise' ie 'Long TUE Live French Algeria', and allow self-determination, he TUE became the target of OAS assassins. Of course, as history TUE proves, those assassins were never successful, though not TUE for want of trying. Forsyth lived through those difficult TUE times for French democracy as a Reuters correspondent in TUE Paris and so it was an obvious choice of setting for his TUE first attempt at thriller writing. TUE TUE Patrick talks to an editor at Hutchinson, Tony Whittome, TUE Professor of Modern English Literature John Sutherland, OAS TUE expert Clement Steuer, writers Lee Child, Andrew Rosenheim, TUE Sam Bourne and the Jackal's author, Frederick Forsyth.

The TUE 'sodcast' is everywhere. But is it really such a menace? Ian TUE McMillan recaptures his own youth when he was ghetto TUE blasting Captain Beefheart and sets out on Yorkshire's buses TUE to unpick the sodcasting phenomenon. TUE TUE Inspired by a bus campaign to exterminate the sodcaster, he TUE meets passengers newly committed to giving up their music in TUE public, and plenty who will fight to the last for their TUE right to peace and quiet. In Hackney he rides with school TUE girls who switch from tunes on their phones to self-composed TUE raps about school dinner ladies, and visits the producer of TUE one of the UK's most sodcasted tracks to learn the secrets TUE of remixing music for the lowest of lo-fi reproduction. TUE TUE But can Ian convince a bus-load of sceptics that sharing TUE music is an act of charity rather than an assault on our TUE personal space? The ultimate sodcast is his plan, a TUE 'joycast' of music to unite rather than divide. It turns out TUE to be quite a challenge.....

TUE TUE 15:30 Afternoon Reading b011vdv3 (Listen) TUE The Boundless Garden, Black Scarf Rock TUE TUE Mark Williams reads from an anthology of 19th century Greek TUE short stories. Yannios, an old fisherman, saves a boy from TUE drowning in the shadow of the mysterious Black Scarf Rock. TUE TUE Alexandros Papadiamandis (1851 - 1911) was born on the TUE western Aegean island of Skiathos, where many of his short TUE stories are set. He has been compared to Dostoyevsky and TUE Hardy and, shares with them similar qualities in the great TUE European tradition of story-telling. His reflections on, and TUE observations of, Greek life - particularly on his native TUE Skiathos - define the Greek experience at the turn of the TUE last century in a way unattained by any of his (now TUE forgotten) contemporaries. TUE TUE In these stories he explores the souls of ordinary men and TUE women as they succumb to, or struggle against, the power of TUE evil, and try to deal with life's ambiguities. Aware of the TUE way in which the past breathes life into the present, TUE Papadiamandis also delves into Greek mythology, as it TUE survived through people's belief in supernatural wonders on TUE both land and sea.

Well over £200bn of taxpayers' money has been TUE committed to the companies managing these projects. TUE The coalition government describes some PFI contracts as TUE 'ghastly' and wants some of this cash back. One cabinet TUE minister says 'the people on the other side must have been TUE laughing all the way to the bank'. TUE But, while public services are facing cuts, PFI payments are TUE guaranteed under watertight contracts. So experts say the TUE government can win only small amounts in rebates. TUE Much of the money has already gone offshore. Huge profits TUE have been made by selling and reselling many contracts in a TUE secretive 'secondary market' - with none of the proceeds TUE returning to the taxpayer.

WED WED This is how the chair of the Costa Prize jury described WED Christopher Reid's slim book of poems when they announced WED him as winner, in what was a very competitive field, of the WED overall award in 2009. WED WED At the age of sixty, Christopher Reid lost his wife, the WED actress Lucinda Gane, to cancer. In this radio adaptation, WED Robert Bathurst reads this Costa prize winning collection of WED poems written in response to her death. WED WED The poems describe the inevitable arc, from the first WED diagnosis of illness to a provisional (it never could be WED final) acceptance of the poet's enforced membership of "the WED club of the left-over living". Along the way he paints a WED panorama of grief and loss. WED WED Christopher Reid has taken an intensely personal tragedy and WED made the emotion of it universal. The result is WED life-enhancing because ultimately it's all about the triumph WED of love after death. WED WED Producer: Kate McAll WED BBC/Cymru Wales.

THU THU 11:00 From Our Own Correspondent b011y41l (Listen) THU The stories behind the world headlines. THU THU 11:30 This Is Not Magritte b011vh4t (Listen) THU To coincide with a major exhibition of Surrealist artist, THU Rene Magritte's work at Tate Liverpool, Richard Strange THU broadcasts from Magritte's former apartment and the recently THU opened Magritte Museum in Brussels to piece together the THU exceptional vision and by contrast, determinedly ordinary THU life of this outwardly conventional man who constructed THU intriguing and bizarre images, imploring us to "put the real THU world on trial". THU THU Monty Python's Terry Jones holds forth about Magritte's THU genius for juxtaposition, eminent writer, Suzi Gablik THU recalls staying with the Magritte's during the 1960s, Naresh THU Ramchandani explains why Magritte's paintings underpin THU advertising and artist Gavin Turk pays homage to the master. THU THU Ever since the 1960s, we've seen Magritte's works, eager to THU find hidden meanings within them. But the artist fiercely THU resisted interpretation, imploring us to question our own THU inquiry and what reality we believe to be true. THU THU His famous painting - "Ceci n'est pas une Pipe", (This Is THU Not A Pipe), shows the image of a pipe "You can't smoke it, THU you can't suck it - it's no more a pipe than an apple!" THU implored the artist. THU THU "My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they THU evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, THU one asks oneself this simple question, 'What does that THU mean?'. It does not mean anything, because mystery means THU nothing either, it is unknowable." THU THU Magritte used a language of brick walls, sky, apples, rocks, THU bowler-hats and drawn words, to explore how images work and THU how strange they are. He played with scale, perspective, THU shadow and illusion. A rock floats, an apple fills a room, THU suited men rain down on a city... THU THU He was often mistaken as a bank clerk; his external THU appearance (in bowler hat) at odds with his anarchist heart. THU THU Producer: Kate Bland.

THU THU 13:30 Off the Page b011vh4y (Listen) THU Cheap credit and immediate online access to infinite THU availability have contributed to one of the defining THU characteristics of our time - the 'have it all' culture of THU being able to instantly gratify our wants and needs. But at THU what cost? THU THU Dominic Arkwright explores the pleasures and pitfalls of THU instant gratification in the company of three speakers from THU very different walks of life. Representing the complete THU antithesis of the quick hit, tapestry weaver Jane THU Freear-Wyld shows Dominic a textile the size of a paperback, THU explaining how it takes 250 hours, or six working weeks, to THU make. Hers is a world away from the work of advertising THU creative director Matt Beaumont who arguably fuels our lust THU for not only jam today, but yesterday and tomorrow too. THU Meanwhile, Times columnist and writer Sathnam Sanghera, THU recently returned from a holiday in Mumbai, argues that it's THU the recent shift towards instant gratification that is THU fuelling India's rapidly rising standard of living, very THU different to an ethos that promises fulfilment neither now THU nor in in this life at all, but in the next one.
