SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b01463kz (Listen) SAT The 9/11 Letters, Michael Morpurgo SAT SAT Five internationally acclaimed writers consider the impact SAT of the momentous events of September 11th, 2001. Ten years SAT on, these authors use imaginative letters to reflect on the SAT consequences for Britain, America and the world. SAT SAT The final 9/11 Letter is by the former Children's Laureate, SAT Michael Morpurgo. Among the more than one hundred books he SAT has written is 'War Horse', the stage version of which this SAT year won a Tony Award on Broadway, and is being made into a SAT film by Stephen Spielberg. SAT SAT The imagined writer of Michael Morpurgo's letter is Ginny, SAT who, when the first plane smashed into the North tower was SAT waiting on a bench in Central Park for her husband to return SAT from breakfast with their son, their first meeting since a SAT rift seven years previously. What happened on 11th SAT September, 2001 rent many families - including Ginny's - SAT asunder, yet it also brought people together. Michael SAT Morpurgo's letter, which he has titled 'A Proper Family' SAT movingly explores this ambiguity. SAT SAT Producer: Julian May.

The North York Moors are perhaps best known for SAT their glorious purple carpets and on Open Country Jules SAT Hudson explores the past and the potential future of this SAT rare habitat. Heather moorland relies on management. Created SAT over centuries of sheep grazing and man management the SAT blooms require regular burning to remain healthy and SAT attractive to the varied wildlife that makes its home on the SAT moors. Sometimes controversially this management is often SAT only made possible with the finance brought in by grouse SAT shooting. SAT As the slopes and bogs of Spaunton Moor come alive with the SAT vivid colour of the heather the grouse are also reaching SAT their prime. Today at places like Spaunton eight days of SAT shooting allows the moor to be managed and preserved for SAT both the grouse and many other species of birds and SAT invertebrates all year round. The spectacle of purple is SAT testament to the effective nature of management but can SAT conservation and hunting really work in harmony?

SAT His leads take him via the valleys of South Wales, the SAT control tower of Croydon Airport, the banks of the River SAT Severn and the strong rooms of records offices piecing SAT together the remarkable story of Harry Grindell Matthews. SAT SAT Grindell Matthews, maverick scientist and showman SAT entrepreneur, earned many friends and was celebrated for SAT inventions which included mobile phones, talking pictures SAT and remote control craft; yet all of these were overshadowed SAT once he unveiled his 'Death Ray'. Designed to shoot down SAT enemy aircraft in the 1920's, his lastest creation earned SAT headlines around the world but also stirred controversy.

SAT SAT Do we get a clearer picture of David Cameron, the SAT politician, after a summer of big news events?

Labour's Margaret Hodge and the Conservative, SAT Matthew Hancock, takes sides. SAT SAT The former editor of the Daily Telegraph, Charles Moore, has SAT written that the banking crisis, the plight of the Euro and SAT the phone-hacking scandal give weight to a traditional SAT left-wing view of the world - that a protected elite is SAT profiting on the back of the workers. Has that perception SAT shifted his own political commitments? SAT SAT Finally, some Lib Dems are unhappy with the coalition reform SAT of the NHS. The MP, Andrew George, is one.

At 8:46 am President George W SAT Bush was in Florida promoting his education policy and Vice SAT President Dick Cheney was in Washington when a Boeing 767 - SAT American Airlines flight 11 - crashed into the World Trade SAT Center's North Tower. SAT SAT It was the first of four commercial planes used as weapons SAT that day in attacks on New York and the capital that led to SAT the loss of thousands of lives and changed the world. This SAT is the dramatized story - reconstructed from multiple SAT documents and memoires - of how Bush, from his plane Air SAT Force One circling high above the United States, and Cheney, SAT in the White House bunker, responded in the first few hours SAT after the 9/11 attacks and how the decisions they took that SAT day set the course of the Bush presidency and triggered the SAT invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. SAT SAT Michael Eaton's drama reconstructs a chaotic day, when SAT communications failed, protocols were abandoned; radar SAT signals were misinterpreted and rescue aircraft came close SAT to being shot down. It was a day that united America and saw SAT tremendous acts of personal sacrifice and courage, but SAT alongside the immediate response to the crisis there was SAT also a hidden tussle for power and control, with some of SAT Bush's key lieutenants moving swiftly to press an agenda SAT that would determine US foreign policy for the remainder of SAT the Bush presidency and put in place -'The War on Terror'.

But it SAT wasn't until over fifty years later, that a school master at SAT Repton in Derbyshire had the inspiration to pair it with a SAT tune by Sir Hubert Parry, thus confirming it as a favourite SAT for school assemblies, funerals and weddings. The current SAT Director of Music at Repton, John Bowley, explains how this SAT happened, while composer and conductor Bob Chilcott explains SAT why this was a musical marriage made in heaven. SAT We hear from those for who whom the hymn has special SAT significance, including the MP from Gloucester, Richard SAT Graham; when briefly imprisoned in a Libyan gaol in 1978 he SAT found enormous comfort in the words and tune. Pipe Major SAT Ross Munro remembers recording the piece in the sweltering SAT heat of Basra with members of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards SAT and film director Joe Wright recalls how the inclusion of SAT this hymn was central to the power of his famous scene SAT depicting the evacuation of Dunkirk in his film, Atonement.

SUN SUN Her final memories on the programme concern the events of SUN 9/11. On that day she was staying with her mother in New SUN Jersey, idly watching the television when in front of their SUN eyes the towers shook and crumbled, billows of smoke SUN unrolled against the sky and they saw the silhouette of a SUN man falling from the top of the towers. SUN SUN A terrible silence ensued as the traffic in the surrounding SUN streets stopped. When public transport was reinstated she SUN caught the train to Manhattan and found streets full of SUN smoke and dust and poignant messages pinned on public walls: SUN "Have you any information, please...?" Then she saw a man SUN selling t-shirts printed "I survived 9/11" and youths SUN breakdancing in Herald Square and thought that despite the SUN worst that could be thrown at it, New York was still alive SUN and kicking.

SUN SUN 11:15 The Reunion b014f3y4 (Listen) SUN Les Miserables SUN SUN In this episode of The Reunion, Sue MacGregor brings SUN together the people who created the musical Les Miserables, SUN which has been playing to audiences around the world for SUN more than 25 years. SUN SUN The show was conceived in 1980 by French librettist Alain SUN Boublil and composer Claude-Michel Schonberg. There wasn't a SUN scene for musical theatre in France at the time so they SUN turned their attention to Britain and eventually found SUN interest in a young established producer of musicals, SUN Cameron Mackintosh. SUN SUN The early 80s was something of a revolution for musical SUN theatre in the UK. The ground had been laid with the early SUN Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals but it wasn't until Cats in SUN 1981 and then Starlight Express in 1984 that the British SUN began to show they could do musical theatre on a level with SUN their American counterparts. SUN SUN Cameron approached Royal Shakespeare Company directors SUN Trevor Nunn and John Caird and they formed a groundbreaking SUN collaboration between the subsidized and commercial theatres SUN to bring Les Miserables onto the London stage. SUN SUN The show opened at London's Barbican theatre in October 1985 SUN and audiences loved it. But the critics were less SUN enthusiastic describing it as 'a lurid Victorian melodrama' SUN and 'witless and synthetic.' Despite the bad reviews the SUN show continued to sell out and it soon moved into the West SUN End and then onto Broadway. To this day the show has played SUN in more than 42 countries worldwide and in 21 languages.

SUN SUN The events of that autumn morning in New York ten years ago SUN have cast a long shadow on the world but the impact on SUN Muslim communities in Britain was felt particularly keenly.

SUN SUN Beginning at a Muslim youth centre where, despite promising SUN to speak openly to him, Navid finds a wall of silence for SUN the young men there. Suspicion of the media and general SUN wariness about the way Muslims are portrayed is evident in SUN Navid first encounter. But then he travels north to SUN Blackburn, to meet an Asian football team and finds a dark SUN humour, stoicism and a wish for more integration. SUN SUN As he travels the country, Navid meets two Muslim soldiers SUN for whom 9/11 had enormous implications. They both went off SUN to war as direct consequence - but on opposing sides. SUN Travelling further, peace activists, mothers, and young SUN Muslim shoppers all describe the ongoing ramifications of SUN the events of 9/11 on their attitudes to their own faith, SUN their loyalties to community and country and to the future.

SUN There are success stories - such as LastFM, a music sharing SUN site sold to American media giant CBS for £140 million - and SUN many more entrepreneurs just starting out.

MON By invitation, in each edition a new type of home is MON invaded, analysed and explained by Laurie Taylor and a panel MON of two sociologists round the kitchen table. MON MON Much political debate still revolves around the assumption MON that most of us live in conventional family homes.

Behind closed MON doors, Britain is changing: single living has increased by MON 30% in 10 years but at the same time financial pressures are MON fuelling a growth in extended families - people sharing MON bills, childcare and mucking-in in a way which makes private MON life far less private. MON MON After invitations from a host of Thinking Allowed listeners, MON Laurie Taylor visits three different homes. In the last of MON the series he travels to a village near Preston in MON Lancashire to meet what is sometimes called a classic MON 'nuclear' family. He and his accompanying sociologists, MON Jacqui Gabb from the Open University and Professor Peter MON Bramham from Leeds Metropolitan University, attempt to MON divine the future for Britain's private life.

It was the planet's most elusive secret, the prize MON coveted above all others. Between 1856 and 1876, six MON larger-than-life men and one extraordinary woman accepted MON the challenge. Showing extreme courage and resilience, MON Richard Burton, John Hanning Speke, James Augustus Grant, MON Samuel Baker, Florence von Sass, David Livingstone, and MON Henry Morton Stanley risked their lives and reputations in MON the fierce competition. MON MON Award-winning author Tim Jeal deploys fascinating new MON research to provide a vivid tableau of the unmapped 'Dark MON Continent', its jungle deprivations, and the courage as well MON as malicious tactics of the explorers. On multiple forays MON launched into east and central Africa, the travellers passed MON through almost impenetrable terrain and suffered the ravages MON of flesh-eating ulcers, paralysis, malaria, deep spear MON wounds, and even death. They discovered Lakes Tanganyika and MON Victoria and became the first white people to encounter the MON kingdoms of Buganda and Bunyoro.

"I have never stopped to think have I missed MON out, because I haven't missed out on Simon, he's lovely..its MON a privilege to have had him."

Born in Ireland, Lilly has lived for 75 years in MON that place of safety known in the ancient hymn as "On MON Canaan's Side" - America. MON MON Forced to flee Ireland after a warning that the IRA were MON about to shoot her and her Black and Tan lover, Lilly has MON spent her entire life in fear that an old vengeance will MON catch up with her. And as this painful but exquisitely told MON history reveals, her fears are well founded. MON Using false names Lilly and Tadg jumped a boat to Ellis MON Island and thence to a suburb of Chicago. The Depression MON looms but they eek out a living in mixed communities, taking MON care to avoid the Irish ghettoes, but always waiting for MON that knock on the door. And when it comes it is of course MON when they least expect it. On a visit the Museum of Art, MON Lilly and her now husband, stand amazed before Van Gogh's MON self portrait - when an IRA assassin appears and shoots Tadg MON right there on the gallery floor. MON MON In the uproar Lilly escapes, pursued by the killer. She MON escapes with her life, just, and flees to Cleveland where MON she meets a Cop, Joe whom she marries and rediscovers a kind MON of happiness. But unalloyed happiness seems not to be MON Lilly's lot in life. She bears Joe's child but Joe MON disappears, presumed dead in a gas explosion - leaving Lilly MON to work as a domestic servant and rear her son, Ed alone. MON MON A true friend comes into her life - a man called Nolan, from MON Tennessee. He lives and works nearby and assumes the role of MON father to Ed and support to Lilly. It is profound but MON platonic alliance. He is Lilly's rock and Ed's moral MON compass. And when Ed, the talented and handsome son comes MON back from Vietnam, mentally broken, it is Nolan who seeks MON him out from an obscure commune in the hills and brings home MON not Lilly's son but her grandson, William; a child the MON fragile Ed is no longer able to manage. MON MON And so Lilly begins once more to raise a child - this time a MON child who is the distillation of the entire journey of her MON life. She loves this child more than life itself. So when MON William hangs himself from the washroom door in his old high MON school she feels there is no worst can befall her. But there MON is a final twist to her life's story. MON MON Nolan falls ill, and on his deathbed, reveals to her that is MON was he who was sent all those years earlier to Chicago to MON assassinate Lilly and her husband. But he was unable at the MON last to kill her in that gallery. And since then he has MON lived only to atone for his sin and to help make her life MON bearable. But Lilly is by now resolved that she cannot MON forgive Nolan, and that she can no longer linger on Canaan's MON side. Her life is at an end.

It's not just London or the other big cities, WED towns the length and breadth of the country suffer from WED filthy air. In this week's 'Costing the Earth' Tom Heap asks WED what individuals can do to improve the quality of the air WED they breathe. WED WED The first step is to find out where air quality is at its WED worst. New techniques, pioneered by Lancaster University, WED use the pollution-attracting powers of trees to allow WED scientists to draw up accurate pollution maps of urban WED areas. Combined with smartphone APPs they give every WED pedestrian the power to avoid pollution hotspots. Air WED pollution can be incredibly localised. Even by walking on a WED parallel street you can save your lungs from the worst of WED urban pollution. WED WED These new ideas also open up the possibility of citizen WED control of air quality. The right trees planted in the right WED part of the street can reduce pollution loadings by up to WED 40%, offering communities a real chance to change their WED neighbourhood. Even individuals can have an effect. Chemists WED at Sheffield University in conjunction with Helen Storey at WED the London College of Fashion are developing the idea of WED pollution-munching clothes. Wear some jeans sprayed with a WED titanium catalyst and you could remove pollution from the WED air as you walk. WED WED Producer: Alasdair Cross.
