SAT Henry Oliver Robinson, a civil engineer, was petitioning for SAT the dissolution of his marriage on the grounds that his SAT wife, Isabella, had committed adultery, and he submitted as SAT evidence a diary in her hand." SAT SAT These bare facts - the angry husband and the incriminating SAT words - are, in the author's hands, shaped to tell a SAT riveting story, that says much about the individuals SAT involved and the social world they moved in... SAT SAT The revealing of Isabella's diaries has caused much ado, and SAT forced what will be an unforgettable trial SAT in a sweltering summer in London.

Helen Mark looks beyond the SAT present-day arguments and travels to Counties Longford, SAT Roscommon and Offaly to find out how attitudes to the bog SAT have evolved over centuries. From the Iron Age Corlea SAT trackway, an oak road discovered just a few years ago, SAT perfectly preserved in peat, to startling evidence of early SAT Christian links with Africa and memories of childhood days SAT spent peat cutting , Helen explores what the bog has to tell SAT us - and what it might have in store for the future.

SAT SAT 10:30 In the Lounge with Rich Morton b01cwszp (Listen) SAT SAT For many casual listeners, the music usually defined as SAT 'lounge' may conjure up something kitsch and outdated, SAT bringing to mind the world of Austin Powers or the SAT sentimental, string-sodden arrangements of their parents' SAT record collections. As comedian, composer and lounge SAT aficionado Rich Morton discovers, there's a large and SAT healthy subculture of lounge lovers who view it as anything SAT but outdated. For the past twenty years, clubs devoted to SAT lounge music have been thriving, and several successful SAT series of lounge compilations have brought obscure and SAT sought-after tracks by some of the greatest 20th century pop SAT and jazz performers to the ears of a new generation. SAT SAT As a composer and collector of lounge tunes, Rich goes in SAT search of the alchemy that produces a lounge classic: SAT whether it's the voice of a Rat Pack regular, the tight SAT brassy arrangement of a Neil Hefti or a Quincy Jones, the SAT timeless simplicity of a Burt Bacharach or Tony Hatch melody SAT - or simply a mood, something indefinable, laid-back, SAT evocative of a time and a place that's anywhere but here. SAT SAT Rich meets fellow lounge collectors, club owners and SAT composers - with the shared passion for a music that's often SAT overlooked or derided but, as the programme reveals, SAT constantly being reinvented. New technology means that SAT classic tracks are being re-discovered and shared as never SAT before, producing fascinating advances and musical hybrids SAT within lounge culture. SAT SAT Producer: Paul Bajoria. SAT SAT 11:00 The Forum b01lz35h (Listen) SAT Mental Health SAT SAT One in three of us will be affected by mental illness at SAT some time during our lifetime.

SAT SAT Gwen Adshead is a forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist SAT at Broadmoor, Britain's highest security institution for SAT offenders with mental disorders, well known in Britain SAT because it's where the country's most notorious killers are SAT sent if the court declares them "criminally insane'.

SAT SAT How will life change in Egypt now there's a president from SAT the Muslim Brotherhood? It's a question exercising many SAT including foreign visitors to Cairo like Edwin Lane. He SAT speculates whether time might soon be called on the SAT capital's thriving bar scene. SAT SAT And Daniel Nasaw tells of the difficulties and the SAT embarrassments an American can face when he decides to get SAT to grips with Farsi, the language of the Iranians. SAT SAT 12:00 Fixing Broken Banking b01lz7vz (Listen) SAT Episode 3 SAT SAT Big British banks are now widely accused of damaging the SAT economy by failing to support their customers. SAT SAT In the third programme of this four-part series,Michael SAT Robinson reports on initiatives to do without banks SAT altogether. With so-called peer to peer lending, borrowers SAT and investors are matched directly through sophisticated SAT websites promising better returns to investors and cheaper SAT loans to borrowers. SAT SAT The programme shows how the systems work, examines the SAT possible pitfalls and asks whether such direct contacts, SAT without the intervention of banks might form a significant SAT part of the future financial landscape. SAT SAT At least one senior Bank of England official thinks it SAT might.

SAT Producer: Ian Muir-Cochrane. SAT SAT 19:15 Saturday Review b01lz7yh (Listen) SAT Bidisha and guests Dreda Say Mitchell, Maeve Kennedy and SAT Cahal Dallat review the week's cultural events including BBC SAT Two's new drama serial Parades End starring Benedict SAT Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall and Alan Ayckbourn's new comedy SAT Surprises which opens at Chichester Festival Theatre this SAT week. SAT SAT Ford Maddox Ford's key modernist novel Parades End, SAT published as a series of four books between 1924 and 1928, SAT is adapted for BBC television by Britain's foremost SAT playwright, Sir Tom Stoppard, the first television drama he SAT has written in almost 30 years. With a stellar cast SAT including Benedict Cumberbatch, Rebecca Hall, Stephen SAT Graham, Rupert Everett, Miranda Richards and Anne-Marie SAT Duff, Parades End explores a formative period of British SAT history - from the twilight years of the Edwardian era to SAT the end of the First World War. SAT SAT Naomi Alderman follows well trodden literary footsteps from SAT Norman Mailer to Robert Graves in re-telling the story of SAT Jesus Christ in her third novel The Liars' Gospel. Her SAT narrators are Mary / Miryam, Iehuda of Qeriot / Judas, SAT Caiaphas - the High Priest of the Temple and Bar Avo / SAT Barrabas. Her first novel - Disobedience - won the Orange SAT Prize for New Writing. How will her prose match up to SAT telling one of the most well known stories in the world? SAT SAT Take This Waltz stars Michelle Williams, whose previous SAT films include My Week With Marilyn, Blue Valentine and SAT Brokeback Mountain and is directed by Sarah Polley whose SAT last film, Academy Award nominated Away From Her, starred SAT Julie Christie as an older woman suffering from dementia. SAT This film explores the age old question of what long term SAT relationships do to love, sex and our images of ourselves. SAT SAT Alan Ayckbourn explores the impact of long term SAT relationships on love and sex in his new play - his 76th - SAT Surprises which opens in a double bill with Absurd Person SAT Singular at the Chichester Festival Theatre this week. Like SAT Comic Potential he sets this play in the future in which SAT humans have the ability to time travel and thus shape their SAT own destiny. There are also robots, and much humour is SAT derived from an android - Gorman - who develops the capacity SAT for human emotion, played to great effect by Richard Stacey. SAT SAT And seven years since the release of Ry Cooder's last ground SAT breaking album - Chavez Ravine - the election of a new US SAT President is marked by Cooder with the release of a new SAT album - Election Special. Tracks such as Mutt Romney Blues, SAT Guantanamo and The Wall Street Part of Town explore themes SAT which resonate strongly in America and resurrects a genre SAT now out of fashion - the protest song. Will we all be SAT marching along? SAT SAT Producer: Hilary Dunn. SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b01lz7yk (Listen) SAT Anthony Burgess: A Clockwork Archive SAT SAT Anthony Burgess is best known as the author of A Clockwork SAT Orange, published 50 years ago. SAT SAT Burgess was born in 1917 in one of the poorest areas of SAT North Manchester. It was entirely unpredictable that such a SAT major literary figure and polymath would spring from such a SAT humble background.He remained in Manchester until he SAT graduated from the University, but never went back to live SAT there and was careful to disguise his Northern accent. SAT SAT Paul Morley - a fellow Northern exile - visits some of the SAT key landmarks of Burgess's early life - Xaverian College SAT where he was taught by strict Catholics from the Xaverian SAT Brothers; the Free Trade Hall where he heard the Hall� SAT Orchestra; Central Library where he began a lifelong process SAT of self-education. SAT SAT Paul also considers Burgess's continuing passion for writing SAT classical music; his first creative ambition was to be a SAT composer. He wrote over 200 pieces of pieces of classical SAT music, including full-length symphonies and a ballet. Very SAT little of his music was performed during his lifetime, but SAT it is now attracting interest from musicians and academics. SAT SAT Burgess's legacy includes not only 33 published novels, two SAT autobiographies and a large amount of journalism but a SAT previously unheard archive of about 800 audio cassettes and SAT home movies. Paul Morley visits The International Anthony SAT Burgess Foundation in Manchester, which is cataloguing this SAT rich, diverse and remarkable archive. SAT SAT Contributors include Dr Andrew Biswell, biographer of SAT Anthony Burgess and Director of The International Anthony SAT Burgess Foundation; Paul Philips, author of a book about SAT Burgess's music; and Dr Kevin Malone an expert on the music SAT Burgess himself wrote for his own dramatized version of A SAT Clockwork Orange.

To discuss SAT these issues are Fr David Hollenbach a Jesuit and Professor SAT of Human Rights and International Justice at Boston College SAT in the United States; Denise Reaume, Professor of Law at SAT Toronto University; Chris McCrudden, Professor of Human SAT Rights and Equality Law at Queen's Belfast and Jeremy SAT Waldron who teaches legal philosophy at New York University SAT and is also Professor of Political and Social Philosophy at SAT Oxford.

SAT SAT 23:30 An Outcast of the Islands: Lady Grange b01lstsf (Listen) SAT SAT While making 'A Requiem for St Kilda' for Radio 4 (which won SAT the Sony Feature Award), writer Kenneth Steven and producer SAT Julian May came across the extraordinary story of Rachel, SAT Lady Grange. The wife of James Erskine, Lord Justice Clerk SAT of Scotland, she enjoyed a fashionable life in C18th SAT Edinburgh. Their relationship soured - Grange kept a SAT mistress in London - and they separated. Rachel, desperate SAT to see her children, began accost her husband in the street. SAT She had incriminating information, that Erskine had held SAT meetings with Jacobite sympathisers at their house. Times SAT were dangerous, so Erskine had his wife abducted. SAT SAT She was dragged through the Highlands, and shipped to St SAT Kilda. She spoke no Gaelic, the St Kildans no English. After SAT seven years she smuggled messages to her solicitor in SAT Edinburgh. They arrived two years after she wrote them and SAT provoked a scandal. Her lawyer sent a ship, the Arabella, to SAT rescue her - an early example of sending a gunboat. But SAT Erskine (who had already held her funeral) had Rachel SAT spirited away again. She was taken from island to island, SAT and at last to Skye, where she died in 1745 - the very year SAT when Prince Charlie landed. SAT SAT Kenneth Steven visits the Special Collections Department of SAT Edinburgh University Library, where, amazingly, one of Lady SAT Grange's letters from St Kilda survives, describing in great SAT detail the brutality of her abduction, and naming names. SAT SAT He meets Margaret Macaulay, author of 'The Prisoner of St SAT Kilda', who spent 7 years researching the story. He retraces SAT her journey from Edinburgh to her final resting place in the SAT far north of the Isle of Skye. SAT SAT Siobhan Redmond reads from Lady Grange's letters, and SAT Kenneth responds to her story with a series of new short SAT lyric poems. SAT SAT Producer: Julian May.

SUN SUN 06:35 The Living World b01m0f1r (Listen) SUN Little Owls SUN SUN The little owl is not only our smallest breeding owl, but is SUN also our only introduced one. Little owls, which aren't much SUN bigger than a mistle thrush, were introduced to the UK from SUN Continental Europe in the second half of the 19th century. SUN Since then they have prospered and unlike many introduced SUN species, have been generally welcomed. SUN SUN For Living World, Miranda Krestovnikoff visits a Wiltshire SUN village which is home to a thriving population of the owls. SUN This is the study area of Emily Joachim, a Ph.D student at SUN the University of Reading who for four years has been SUN following the breeding success of little owls in nest-boxes SUN around an equestrian centre. The boxes, some of which are SUN converted army ammunition boxes, allow her access to the owl SUN chicks and to monitor how the birds are faring from season SUN to season. This is important because she and other SUN ornithologists suspect that little owls are declining in SUN parts of England and Wales, and the reasons for this are not SUN clear. While Emily's study can't produce easy answers, it is SUN showing what the owls eat, and how they cope with variations SUN in climate.For example, one study pair raised a record five SUN chicks even in this recent damp spring, showing that they SUN are robust and capable of adapting to the worst English SUN summer for some time. SUN SUN Together Miranda and Emily have intriguing glimpses of the SUN owls and hear their distinctive call as dusk falls. Emily SUN also has good advice for anyone with little owls on their SUN land and who wants to keep them there. SUN SUN 06:57 Weather b01m0d9k (Listen) SUN The latest weather forecast.

SUN SUN When people think about the music of the sixties, generally SUN they think of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but the SUN girl singers of the period were also highly successful and SUN important. In the UK alone, Cilla Black had seventeen top SUN forty hits, Dusty Springfield and Sandie Shaw had fifteen SUN and Petula Clark had thirteen. This doesn't include the SUN success they all enjoyed abroad: these girls were SUN international stars having hits all over Europe and in the SUN United States. SUN SUN But success did not always bring happiness and, for many of SUN the girl singers of the period, there were major lows SUN alongside the dizzying highs. The sixties may have been SUN swinging, but it wasn't an easy time for the women of the SUN period who, as well as having to navigate the vagaries of a SUN career in show business, often found themselves the focus of SUN enormous attention from the media and the public. It wasn't SUN always welcome. The gulf between their public lives and SUN their private lives was sometimes huge. SUN SUN Joining Sue MacGregor is: Petula Clark, the child star of SUN the 1940s whose career went stratospheric in the 1960s; SUN Sandie Shaw, the barefoot pop princess who won the SUN Eurovision Song Contest; Helen Shapiro, Britain's first teen SUN pop star who was supported by The Beatles, Jackie Trent, SUN singer and songwriter who wrote hits for Petula Clark, Scott SUN Walker and many others; and Vicki Wickham, the legendary SUN producer of Ready Steady Go who went on to manage Dusty SUN Springfield.

She follows the story of the SUN clove from a harvest in Africa to sauce making with chef SUN Jeremy Lee. SUN SUN A culinary prize since the 3rd century BC, cloves have been SUN a source of conflict and competition for centuries. They're SUN still one of the most popular spices in our kitchen SUN cupboards. SUN SUN Reporter Nick Maes travels to Zanzibar, one of the world's SUN leading producers of cloves, to find out how the dried, SUN unopened flower buds are grown and then processed.

Mexicans are the hardest workers in the world, SUN according an OCED survey. The Mexico economy is amongst the SUN top twenty in the world - and still growing despite the SUN global economic crisis and drugs problems which have cost SUN 60,000 lives over the past five years. SUN SUN BBC's Central America correspondent Will Grant challenges SUN the stereotypes as he investigates how foreign investment SUN and exports are driving the economy. The richest man in the SUN world is Mexican. SUN SUN In 1994, after the so-called Tequila crisis when Mexican SUN defaulted on US debt and devalued the peso, signing of the SUN North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the sell-off SUN of state-owned assets and companies kick-started the economy SUN again. SUN SUN Mexico now has free trade agreements with more than 40 SUN countries - with growing export sectors such as the SUN automobile, electronics and aviation industries. On the SUN doorstep of the United States - the largest consumer market SUN in the world - Mexico is looking to overtake China in US SUN trade and this year hosted the G20. SUN SUN But all the same, when the new Government takes over in SUN November, it faces not only the challenges of drugs and SUN corruption but also huge inequality in income and wages. The SUN Mexico economy also relies on 23 billion dollars of SUN remittances sent back to families by Mexicans crossing into SUN the States to find work. SUN SUN Will Grant talks to industry leaders, workers, politicians SUN and economists about the state of the Mexico economy and how SUN it will survive the global downturn.

It's 1848, and the SUN revolutionary tide running through Europe has finally SUN reached Lubeck. Will the old merchant families hold on to SUN power?

SUN SUN 16:30 The Seafarer b01m0f2g (Listen) SUN 'There I heard nothing but the roaring sea SUN and ice-cold wave SUN SUN At times birdsong was my only comfort SUN gannet's cackle and curlew's cry' SUN SUN The Seafarer is one of the oldest poems in the English SUN language, yet it still has power over our imaginations. Poet SUN Simon Armitage immerses himself in its watery landscape to SUN discover why it still holds us in its grip. SUN SUN Last year, The Seafarer was brought to life in the bowels of SUN the Royal Festival Hall. Here in this eerie, ship-like SUN space, cellist Oliver Coates (artist-in-residence at the SUN Southbank Centre), director/designer Netia Jones and sound SUN designer David Shepherd created an extraordinary setting for SUN the poem. Visitors were invited below decks to experience SUN The Seafarer through sound, film and the words of a new SUN translation by Amy Kate Riach. SUN SUN This programme offers a chance to hear the translation once SUN again - dramatically rendered by the actor Kenneth Cranham. SUN Accompanied by sound effects and music from The Seafarer SUN installation, the poem is delivered orally just as it would SUN have been by the poet (or poets) who first fashioned it. SUN SUN It's hard to be sure how Anglo-Saxon poets would have SUN worked, but Simon Armitage speaks to academics (Professor SUN North and Eric Lacey of University College London; Dr SUN Jennifer Neville of Royal Holloway) and writer Kevin SUN Crossley-Holland to find out what we know of the poets of SUN this period. SUN SUN It's likely that The Seafarer was composed by an early SUN Christian poet (its second half is strongly Christian in SUN tone), but the poem is remarkable for its ability to speak SUN to readers who do not share the poet's faith. The programme SUN explores the universal draw of one of the first sea poems in SUN our island's literature. SUN SUN Producer: Isabel Sutton SUN A Just Radio production for BBC Radio 4.

SUN SUN We explain why a weird flaw in the way the retail price SUN index (a key inflation measure) is calculated is dry and SUN technical - but far more important than you might think. SUN SUN David's line SUN SUN Our final listener question for TV's Yan Wong: If Solomon - SUN son of King David - had about a thousand wives and SUN concubines, as the Bible says, wouldn't it be the case that SUN by the time of Jesus - many generations later - pretty much SUN everyone in Israel could claim to be a descendant of King SUN David? SUN SUN 20mph roads SUN SUN It was reported recently that the number of people killed or SUN injured on 20mph roads has risen by nearly a quarter. Does SUN that mean 20mph roads are less safe than we thought? Or is SUN there another explanation? SUN SUN Thinking in Numbers SUN SUN On More or Less we think numbers help us to understand the SUN world. But for Daniel Tammet, they're a lot more important SUN than that. For him, numbers don't just help him to SUN understand the real world. They're his ticket to being a SUN part of it.

It is the single biggest SUN emitter of the greenhouse gas CO2. But with reserves of over SUN 100 years, much more than for oil and gas, it's here to SUN stay. In the US, almost half of all electricity comes from SUN coal, about double the rate of the UK. With China and India SUN fuelling their economic growth with coal, demand will stay SUN high. So will we have to live with the environmental SUN consequences or can coal become green? Peter Day travels to SUN the US to find out. SUN SUN In North Dakota coal is mined in a modern, open pit SUN operation using electric draglines. One of the biggest hopes SUN for minimising the impact of coal burning on climate change SUN is to capture and store the resulting carbon dioxide. Peter SUN visits the Great Plains Synfuels plant in North Dakota which SUN burns coal to turn it into synthetic natural gas and SUN captures about half of the resulting CO2 to pipe it to SUN Canada for underground storage in a depleted oil field. SUN Adjacent to the Synfuels plant is a coal-fuelled electricity SUN power station, Antelope Valley. Unlike their neighbours, SUN Antelope Valley decided against carbon capture and storage SUN because adapting the plant would cost hundreds of millions SUN of dollars. But if even a place like Antelope Valley, that SUN could benefit from their neighbour's pipeline and other SUN infrastructure can't do CCS in an economically viable way, SUN what chance is there for other coal-burning power plants? SUN While coal remains king, its status is being challenged not SUN just by those concerned about climate change, but also by SUN other fossil fuels such as shale gas and new oil fields. How SUN will coal fight back? Or does it not need to, as the world SUN cannot do without it anyway? SUN Producer Arlene Gregorius SUN Editor: Stephen Chilcott.

MON MON In this third programme of the series, she explores the 18th MON century Lover: from irresistible seducer to lusty husband. MON MON Professor Vickery begins on location in the bizarre erotic MON caves created by Sir Francis Dashwood on his estate near MON West Wycombe, which are built to resemble the most intimate MON space of a woman's body. Dashwood and his friends would MON drink there and have sex with prostitutes - although there MON was no shortage of women volunteering to join him. MON MON Historian Faramerz Dabhoiwala, author of The Origins of Sex, MON tells the story of the caves and analyses the art of MON seduction as practised by 18th century seducers Casanova and MON Boswell.

MON MON 09:30 Head to Head b01m0kj4 (Listen) MON Series 4, Episode 2 MON MON Edward Stourton continues to revisit broadcast debates from MON the archives - exploring the ideas, the great minds behind MON them and echoes of the arguments today. MON MON When the two women in this week's programme met for this MON head to head in 1974, the Women's Liberation Movement was MON reaching its heights. They both wanted sexual equality, but MON they had very different ideas about the means to achieve it. MON MON Sally Oppenheim thought reforming the law could solve the MON woman question. As a Conservative MP, she was working on MON further anti-discrimination legislation to add to the Equal MON Pay Act that had already been passed by that stage. MON MON But for radical feminist and psychoanalyst Juliet Mitchell, MON gradual reform was not the way forward. She believed the MON status of women could not be elevated by laws alone because MON the roots of inequality lay deep, both in the fabric of MON society and the minds of women. Social structures would need MON to be torn down, starting with the role of women as wives MON and mothers. MON MON Oppenheim was sceptical of these "second wave" feminists and MON their extreme position: how dare they prescribe such a MON widespread drastic change to the nature of womanhood. MON MON On to today and, with a new brand of Tory feminism and MON indeed radicalism, on what lines is the equality debate MON fought now? How has the argument moved on? MON MON In the studio dissecting the debate are Lynne Segal, MON Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies at Birkbeck, MON University of London, and Julie Bindel, who is an activist MON and journalist. MON MON Producer: Dom Byrne MON A Blakeway production for BBC Radio 4.

MON MON Daniel Tammet is hailed the world over for his extraordinary MON mind and unique intelligence shaped by high-functioning MON autistic savant syndrome. He perceives words and numbers as MON shapes, colours, and emotions, and holds the European record MON for reciting the mathematical constant Pi to 22,514 decimal MON places. For Tammet, numbers are beautiful and illuminate our MON everyday thoughts and lives.

MON MON 15:30 Food Programme b01m0f24 (Listen) MON [Repeat of broadcast at 12:32 on Sunday] MON MON 16:00 The Magic Theatre of Hermann Hesse b01m0lgl (Listen) MON MON Hermann Hesse is the biggest-selling author in the German MON language - responsible for Steppenwolf, a 'bible' for the MON '68 generation; Siddhartha, which influenced aspects of the MON New Age movement; and The Glass Bead Game, which is now MON inspiring game designers. MON MON In this programme, the reasons for the durability of his MON iconic status are examined by those for whom his appeal has MON survived beyond a youthful fixation. MON MON Peter Owen is the publisher who first introduced Hesse's MON work to Britain in the 1950s. John Wilson is a Professor of MON mathematics at Oxford University and keen musician who has MON attempted to interpret the rules of Hesse's Nobel MON Prize-winning Glass Bead Game. Eric Zimmerman is a New MON York-based games designer who found inspiration in Hesse's MON writing for a game that evaluates cultural aesthetics. MON Johnny Flynn is a singer-songwriter who fell under the spell MON of Hesse's fascination with eastern mysticism. Susanne MON Voelker runs the Hesse museum in south-west Germany and MON believes the author's influence is felt by readers of all MON generations and demographics who are making life decisions. MON MON The Magic Theatre of Hermann Hesse weaves together their MON testimonies with readings from Hesse's work and music from MON both his own time and from ours. MON MON Produced by Alan Hall MON A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4. MON MON 16:30 Beyond Belief b01m0h67 (Listen) MON Witchcraft & Child Abuse MON MON Ernie Rea explores the relationship between African MON churches, witchcraft & child abuse with expert guests: MON Pastor Mahele Tangata, pastor of a Congolese Church in North MON West London; Romain Matondo, Co-ordinator for the Congolese MON Family Centre; and Dr Richard Hoskins, an expert on MON witchcraft-based child abuse cases. The Metropolitan police MON reports that it has investigated 83 'faith based' child MON abuse cases involving witchcraft in the last ten years. A MON belief in witchcraft is common to some traditional African MON religions and to some elements of Christianity; but accusing MON children of witchcraft seems a comparatively modern MON phenomenon. Where does it come from? What can be done to MON prevent it? And are the churches concerned doing enough? MON MON Producer: Charlotte Simpson.

BBC Radio 4 now MON introduces a re-version of this ground-breaking programme, MON bringing it to a national audience. MON MON The views of victims can sometimes get overlooked in the MON criminal justice system. In The Victim's Voice, psychologist MON Professor Tanya Byron invites a group of victims of violent MON crime into Brixton Prison to come face to face with men MON serving sentences for committing similarly violent acts. MON With brutal honesty, Ray, Vi and Michelle, who have all lost MON loved-ones to serious crimes, talk directly to the MON prisoners, challenging them to look at the impact of their MON own actions. MON MON Restorative justice, as this process is known, is a MON relatively new approach to dealing with the harm done by MON crime. It aims to facilitate communication between victims MON and perpetrators, encouraging understanding, empathy and MON changes in behaviour. MON MON Producer: Marianne Garvey MON A Prison Radio Association production for BBC Radio 4. MON MON 20:30 Crossing Continents b01lv4np (Listen) MON Korea Host Bars MON MON South Korean women, tradition says, are hard-working, MON respectful to family, and know their place in Korea's MON Confucian hierarchies. But the country's rapid economic MON development has meant some startling changes below the MON surface of that conservative social structure. Perhaps the MON most controversial is the advent of Host Bars - all night MON drinking rooms where female customers can select and pay for MON male companions, sometimes at a cost of thousands of dollars MON a night. Originally set up to cater to off-duty 'hostesses' MON and female escorts, they're now proving popular with many MON other women too. The growth of the industry is throwing up MON new questions for South Korea's sociologists and politicians MON as they struggle to reconcile the country's traditional MON values with the effects of its rapid development. The BBC's MON Seoul correspondent Lucy Williamson reports. MON MON 21:00 Material World b01lv5v1 (Listen) MON A suit that is controlled by the brain is close to enabling MON a quadriplegic child to kick a football. Neuroscientist MON Professor Miguel Nicolelis has pledged that he's close to MON perfecting an entire robotic body suit that will be operated MON by thought alone. Users will be able to imagine an action, MON and the brain will send signals to the prosthetic device to MON complete the action. Based at Duke University, Professor MON Nicolelis tells Quentin Cooper that his recent research has MON given him new confidence that his World Cup pledge is MON deliverable. By placing sensors all over the exo-skeleton, MON the robotic arm or body suit can now send signals back to MON the brain, giving the user a sense of touch. MON MON Butterflies in Japan, around Fukushima, have been affected MON by exposure to radioactive material following the nuclear MON meltdown 18 months ago, a new study in the journal, MON Scientific Reports, suggests. Scientists found an increase MON in leg, antennae and wing shape mutations among the Pale MON Grass Blue butterfly. Biologist Tim Mousseau from the MON University of South Carolina studies the impacts of MON radiation on animals and plants in Chernobyl and Fukushima MON and says the Japanese research has important implications MON for life in Fukushima. MON MON Parkinson's Disease is a neurological condition with no MON cure. It's also very difficult to diagnose because there is MON no objective test. But now, a UK mathematician could be MON close to providing a fast and cheap way to make early MON diagnosis, using voice-pattern recognition. Dr Max Little, a MON research fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MON developed an algorithm while studying at Oxford University. MON Changes to speech is one of the main symptoms of the MON disease, and by collecting 10,000 voice samples from people MON around the world, hopes are that the rich voice dataset will MON be able to identify specific symptoms and provide early MON diagnosis. Also in the conversation is Dr Keiran Breen, MON Director of Research and Innovation at Parkinson's UK, who MON thinks this research will be of benefit. MON MON British scientists are preparing to set off for the MON Antarctic in an ambitious project to drill down into a sub MON glacial lake that hasn't seen the light of day for hundreds MON of thousands of years. Engineers from the British Antarctic MON Survey are using a giant drill to bore down three kilometres MON into Lake Ellsworth in an expedition that's been 15 years in MON the planning. Using high-pressure hot water, Andy Tait, lead MON drill engineer, describes the challenges and aims of the MON project. MON MON Producer: Fiona Hill. MON MON 21:30 Amanda Vickery on...

The cemetery of Les Innocents is the MON oldest in the city, but it is overflowing and can no longer MON hold on to its dead. Newcomers to the quarter are MON overpowered by the smell.

MON MON By order of the King, the church and cemetery are to be MON destroyed and every last bone rehoused. The place is to be MON made sweet again. It shall be made pure. MON MON Charged with the task, Jean-Baptiste Baratte - a young MON engineer from Normandy - arrives in Paris. And thus begins MON "A year of bones, of grave-dirt, relentless work. Of ...

His story is told through reflective interviews, MON but mainly, Micky's acclaimed stand up comedy. Micky's MON transition from the mean streets of the East End to the MON leafy lanes of Dulwich is a fascinating story, with each MON episode focusing on a different decade of Micky's life. MON MON In this episode Micky takes us through his 1980's, spent MON running away to New York and being the international lover MON and player of the East End. He chats to his parents, his MON sister and his school friends in interviews that shed light MON on the stand up comedy. MON MON The series is written and performed by Micky Flanagan.

Having studied data from airborne radar surveys, TUE Martin knew the lake must exist and was determined to find TUE out more. Finally, this winter, a team of British scientists TUE led by Martin will drill through three kilometres of ice to TUE unlock the secrets of this hidden lake. Can life exist in TUE such a cold, dark and isolated place? And if so what form TUE will it take?

TUE TUE 11:30 Composing LA b01m0lv4 (Listen) TUE Young British Composer Tarik O' Regan tells the story of how TUE the tradition of Western classical music, its composers and TUE maestros, underpinned the golden age of Hollywood film TUE score. TUE TUE More or less the entire Hollywood music scene, as it TUE blossomed in the 1930s, looked to serious European and TUE Russian composers for film score composition. Stravinsky, TUE Schoenberg, two of the greatest composers of 'serious' 20th TUE century music, both lived and worked in LA - much to the TUE consternation of the European classical music establishment. TUE TUE Many composers on the run from Europe in the 1930s would TUE arrive in New York and, failing to make inroads into the TUE concert scene or Broadway (as Kurt Weil had done), continued TUE their journey West. Even as early cinema flourished, America TUE was still struggling to find its own authentic 'classical' TUE music - one that strived to be equal to the European TUE symphonic sound but that had its own voice too. The film TUE score was precisely that. TUE TUE Meanwhile most of the Hollywood film orchestras were filled TUE with British and European �migr� musicians who taught TUE American musicians the European symphonic style that became TUE the hallmark of Hollywood film music. This programme also TUE explores how some of the most successful soundtrack TUE composers today - John Williams and others - are completely TUE caught up in that sound-world. TUE TUE Presented by Tarik O'Regan, an �migr� composer himself who TUE moved to the US, with contributors including Andre Previn, TUE Larry Schoenberg, conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen TUE and music writer Alex Ross.

TUE TUE The key to the species that visit these shores is the TUE plankton on which they feed. Species of plankton more TUE usually found in areas of the southern Atlantic ocean are TUE now turning up on our shores, and so are the fish and TUE mammals that feed on them. TUE TUE So will tropical species replace the cod and haddock in TUE Britain's fish and chip shops? Will great white sharks TUE patrol our beaches?

TUE TUE A recent report by The Economist proclaimed to businesses: TUE ignore the Sharia-conscious consumer at your peril. The TUE global Muslim population is now 1.8 billion and rising fast; TUE it's predicted that Muslims will account for 30% of the TUE world's population by 2025. More than half are under 25 and TUE many are tech-savvy, brand-conscious and increasingly TUE flexing their consumer muscle. In response, there's been an TUE explosion of goods and services aimed at Muslims. TUE TUE While Britain has been slow to wake up to this new consumer TUE trend, other countries are already reaping the economic TUE rewards of serving Muslim needs. Malaysia has become the TUE leader in halal certification and in promoting the global TUE halal industry. Each year Kuala Lumpur hosts World Halal TUE Week, bringing together a remarkable array of Islamic TUE scholars, scientists, producers of halal products and TUE services and big multinational companies. Malaysia is also TUE home to the first international university to teach Islamic TUE finance. TUE TUE There are many concerns about how to ensure credible halal TUE certification. Nonetheless, this new drive to meet Muslim TUE consumer demand beyond halal food is bringing together TUE religion and business in an unprecedented way - and giving TUE Islam a new identity in the 21st century.

WED WED The Listening Project is a new initiative for Radio 4 that WED aims to offer a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which WED people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation with WED someone close to them about a subject they've never WED discussed intimately before.

Every WED conversation - they're not BBC interviews, and that's an WED important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then WED edited to extract the key moment of connection between the WED participants. Many of the long conversations are being WED archived by the British Library which they will use to build WED up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the WED UK in the second decade of the millennium.

WED WED In Britain the Breathalyser Law was given Royal Assent on WED 10th May 1967 and put into operation on 9th October. WED Practical and highly portable, it was invented in 1953 by WED Professor Robert F Borkenstein, and replaced a more WED cumbersome contraption invented in 1938 and known as the WED drunkometer. WED WED There was huge opposition to the new breathalyser. Barbara WED Castle, Transport Minister at the time, faced hostility from WED the drinks industry, motoring organisations, and even from WED within her own ranks. She received abusive mail, even a WED death threat, but her courage paid off. In the first year of WED the new act, there were 1,152 fewer fatalities, 11,177 fewer WED serious injuries and 28,130 fewer slight injuries. "The WED publication of the first figures of the lives we saved were WED fantastic. It gave a fantastic boost and people saw the WED hollowness of the claim that 'I have my civil rights and WED Government hasn't any right to take them off me'."

WED WED Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic travelogues, WED journals and personal letters. WED WED Stevenson sets off with a donkey across the Cevennes in WED France and in the process keeps a journal that later becomes WED his popular travelogue "Travels with a Donkey in the WED Cevennes." But does his journeying help him to forget the WED woman he has met and fallen in love with - Fanny Osbourne? WED WED In 1879 and 1880, three years before he was to write WED 'Treasure Island', Robert Louis Stevenson was a largely WED unpublished and unsuccessful writer. WED WED Despite his father's wishes, however, he saw his life in WED literature. In 1876, he had met Fanny Osbourne the woman who WED was to become his lover and later his wife. At the time of WED their meeting Fanny was escaping from America with her WED children - away from a husband who only brought her misery WED through his serial infidelities. WED One of Stevenson's earliest publications was an essay 'On WED Falling in Love' for The Cornhill magazine. WED WED In 1878 Fanny decided that she had to return to America and WED to her husband. Stevenson embarked on a walk through the WED Cevennes with a donkey in 1879 which was later to be WED published as 'Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes' and in WED August of the same year he resolved to follow Fanny to WED America. WED WED His journey was also published - most particularly in 'The WED Amateur Emigrant'. WED WED Mike Harris' two plays portray these two enormously WED significant journeys and attempt to capture Stevenson's WED feelings for Fanny and how they affected him on his travels.

There are so few children being born that if WED the current trend persists, traditional Italians are at risk WED of dying out in just a handful of generations. How can the WED nation famed for Romanticism, for enormous affectionate WED families, for Mamma Mia and for an enviable certainty that WED all you need is good food, good wine and your family around WED you, be the same nation that no longer gives birth? Laurie WED travels to Milan to unpick the tangled interactions between WED the individual, the family, the church and the state and WED discovers why Italians are delaying parenthood and in many WED cases rejecting having a family altogether.

WED WED Whether it's to get to university, to launch a fulfilling WED career, or to be a useful member of society, what our WED children learn at school today will profoundly shape their WED lives, the society we live in and the health of our economy WED in the 21st Century. WED WED The web gives today's schoolchildren access to previously WED unimaginable amounts of knowledge - and yet across Europe WED there has been social unrest among young people who are WED angry and terrified that what they know will be meaningless WED in a future with no jobs. WED WED At home, Government reforms have led to big changes in the WED national curriculum, increased university fees and parents WED running their own schools. WED WED Has there ever been a more important time to come back to WED the fundamental questions of education? In this first WED programme, leading educationalists including Anthony Seldon, WED Estelle Morris and Rachel Wolf debate what we should teach. WED WED In programme two, John Humphrys asks a panel including union WED leader Mary Bousted, cognitive scientist Prof Guy Claxton WED and inspections expert Roy Blatchford how we should teach.

The work was premiered in THU the Royal Albert Hall in London under the baton of Malcolm THU Arnold in 1969. From then until the arrival of Punk in the THU late seventies rockers like the Nice, Emerson Lake and THU Palmer and Rick Wakeman embraced this hybrid genre with THU great energy and enthusiasm. Rick Wakeman in particular THU became known for stage shows which matched the ambition of THU his music. THU THU Stuart Maconie talks to Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson about THU the genre's excesses. We hear from Roy Wood about the early THU days of the Electric Light Orchestra.

THU THU Stuart Maconie casts a fairly benevolent eye on the genre - THU in his view some of it was actually very good. But classical THU music critic Ivan Hewett is pleased that the genre was THU largely killed off by punk - although in his view there are THU more modern examples where classical and pop sensibilities THU are successfully combined, by the likes of Jonny Greenwood THU of Radiohead and Damon Albarn.

THU THU 20:30 In Business b01m183p (Listen) THU Join the Crowd THU THU Short of cash to start a business? Instead of going to the THU bank for a loan, asking for cash from friends or family, or THU meeting with venture capitalists, how about asking hundreds THU or thousands of strangers on the internet to buy your THU product or a share in your company? THU It's called crowdfunding, and it's a strategy that was first THU adopted by filmmakers and musicians. Now more and more THU businesses are using crowdfunding websites to raise capital. THU Peter Day meets some of the businesses turning to this THU innovative form of fundraising as well as some of the THU founders of high-tech companies matching up entrepreneurs THU with investors. THU He also finds out more about the potential risks and asks THU whether crowdfunding will remain a niche business tool or an THU idea that will transform the way entrepreneurs raise money.
