SAT SAT These are not Turner Prize winners or the recipients of SAT grants from the Arts Council or the Lottery Fund. These are SAT the people behind the scenes, pulling the strings and SAT plotting a path of consumer-driven success. They are the SAT designers of the latest 'must have' piece of technology or SAT clothing, the brains behind an artist's development, and the SAT tastemakers that know what will work at the box office and SAT what will sell on the high street. Their impact goes beyond SAT mere commerce, it shapes contemporary culture. They are the SAT Zietgeisters and it's about time we met them. SAT SAT Programme 4. In the final programme of the series, Will SAT meets Daphne Koller & Andrew Ng, co-founders of Coursera, SAT the company that is revolutionising education much in the SAT same way that Amazon and iTunes turned publishing and music SAT on their heads. Daphne and Andrew have together created a SAT platform which allows anyone from anywhere in the world (who SAT has internet access) to attend lectures and classes given by SAT the best teachers in the world - for free. Universities as SAT we know them may soon be a thing of the past. SAT SAT Producer: Paul Kobrak.

SAT SAT 11:30 From Our Own Correspondent b036j3qh (Listen) SAT You Can't Hug on Facebook SAT SAT Portuguese people are leaving the country in their SAT thousands, travelling to the country's former colonies in SAT search of work - Emma Jane Kirby's in Porto and Lisbon SAT learning how recession's driving many away from their family SAT and loved ones.

SAT SAT 12:00 Money Box b036j3qk (Listen) SAT Financial break-ups, the cost of plastic, why a second costs SAT a minute, business banking SAT SAT Breaking up is always emotionally draining. And if you have SAT joint financial affairs - especially a joint bank account - SAT pulling those apart can be financially draining too. With SAT joint accounts either party can use all of the money. And if SAT it goes overdrawn both parties are liable for all of the SAT debt. How can you stop a departing partner making off with SAT the cash and leaving you in hock? SAT SAT Who makes money when you pay with plastic? Almost everyone SAT but you. Your card provider, the retailer's bank, and of SAT course Visa or Mastercard. And how much of your money goes SAT to each of them before the retailer sees a penny? It is very SAT hard to say. The EU wants to step into this process and ban SAT or at least cut some of the interchange fees and make them SAT clear to customers. Card companies say 'no'. Retailers SAT answer 'yes'. Where does the consumer sit in all this SAT arguing? SAT SAT Not so much a slope more a staircase. A major mobile phone SAT firm is planning to charge some customers for a minute when SAT they talk for an extra second. Rounding up every call to the SAT nearest minute is not unique in the mobile phone world. But SAT why is Vodafone choosing now to move from per second billing SAT to per minute for some of its pay-as-you-go customers? And SAT who now charges the least for those short and infrequent SAT calls? SAT SAT HSBC is the latest bank to start charging small business SAT customers for their free accounts. Many small businesses are SAT upset. Which, they ask, are now the best banks for small SAT businesses? We find out.

SAT SAT Steven Mackintosh as Martin Beck and Neil Pearson as Lennart SAT Kollberg return for a second series of the Swedish detective SAT stories that inspired a generation of crime writers. SAT SAT The Martin Beck books were written over ten years from SAT 1965-75 by the Swedish husband and wife team of Maj Sjöwall SAT & Per Wahlöö. They featured the dogged and complex figure of SAT D.I. Martin Beck and his colleagues in the national Police SAT Homicide Department in Stockholm, and were written to give a SAT realistic, unsentimental portrait of Sweden at the time: a SAT society suffering from stifling bureaucracy and the creeping SAT corruption of a liberal society. SAT SAT In Murder at the Savoy, Martin Beck and Lennart Kollberg are SAT called to Malmö in Southern Sweden when an industrialist is SAT shot whilst having dinner at the city's best hotel. There SAT are people in high places who want the case cleared up SAT quietly and quickly, but Beck refuses to give way to SAT pressure.

SAT While the whereabouts of the fugitive US intelligence SAT leaker, Edward Snowden, remains a mystery, a down at heel SAT journalist gets a lucky break when he bonds with a fellow SAT traveller in an airport departure lounge. SAT SAT Hardeep Singh Kohli SAT SAT Hardeep Singh Kohli is a multi-talented man.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b036j3r0 (Listen) SAT Churchill's Secret Cabinet SAT SAT Clement Attlee once claimed that Churchill led Britain to SAT victory in the Second World War through his words. But what SAT influenced these words and their delivery? SAT SAT The answer lies in a newly discovered wooden cabinet SAT containing not only Churchill's private collection of SAT gramophone records, but also rare recordings of his unknown SAT speeches. SAT SAT In this Archive on 4, historian Andrew Roberts joins SAT archivists, historians, musicians, even Churchill's own SAT family, to discover how these rapidly disintegrating discs - SAT some of them over a hundred years old - offer new clues SAT about his oratorical style. Their survival depends on the SAT fast action of the Cambridge archivists in a race against SAT time to digitise them, before they quite literally turn to SAT dust. SAT SAT Already, the work in progress has turned up some surprising SAT revelations - including a glimpse into Churchill's very own SAT desert island discs. The apparently unmusical Churchill SAT turns out to be someone who treasures songs of satire, SAT humour and intense patriotism. We discover recordings of SAT black swans enjoyed by a nature loving Churchill we rarely SAT see, and then there are those fascinating newly discovered SAT recordings of Churchill's own voice - including the first SAT known recording of him, from the early 20th century. SAT SAT From these records, Andrew Roberts gleans valuable insights SAT into that famous titan of British oratory - how it was not SAT just his words, but his unique musical delivery that came to SAT reflect and even embody the hopes of a nation.

Charting the life and reign of SAT the loneliest boy in the world, through his relationships, SAT with his one love, Esme, his bullying tutor, Buchanan, his SAT charming Queen, Anne, to his favourite, George Villiers. SAT SAT Directed by Jessica Dromgoole & Sasha Yevtushenko SAT Sound design by Colin Guthrie SAT SAT Production co-ordinator: Phil Hawkins SAT Studio managers: Martha Littlehailes, Anne Bunting, Alison SAT Craig SAT SAT Notes SAT SAT Becoming King of England does not free James from the prison SAT of his past or his nature; on the other hand it does allow SAT him a vastly broader canvas on which both his virtues and SAT his faults show clearly. He seeks to vindicate his mother's SAT memory and attacks those who attacked her; he encourages SAT learning and discourages foreign adventures, he supports SAT brilliant men and women but, when convenient, or when SAT bullied, allows them to be destroyed. At his death, will he SAT leave as difficult an inheritance to his son as his mother SAT did to him?

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b0368fx6 (Listen) SAT Transparency and Secrets SAT SAT The 16th century philosopher Francis Bacon is widely SAT credited with coining the phrase "knowledge is power". If he SAT was alive today he would surely have appreciated the irony SAT of the government this week launching its consultation on SAT transparency and open data while the news is full of stories SAT about spying and under cover surveillance. The goal of SAT "transparency" has become something of mantra across a wide SAT section of our society. It is held up as a moral virtue; an SAT unambiguously Good Thing that should be pursued at all SAT costs. Vascular surgeons are the latest to have the SAT "spotlight" of transparency shone upon them. The NHS is SAT publishing league tables of their results and doctors who SAT refuse to co-operate will be named and shamed. Transparency SAT has become not just a descriptive term, but an ideology - SAT something that should be actively strived for and is a SAT fundamental human right that underpins democracy. But by SAT investing so much moral capital in transparency have we done SAT the opposite of what those who champion it wanted? Instead SAT of a more trusting society, do we now automatically assume SAT that what goes on behind closed doors is not to be trusted SAT and always capable of being corrupted? Is the CIA SAT whistleblower Edward Snowden a hero who's exposed the scale SAT of state surveillance on its citizens, or a traitor who has SAT undermined our capacity to fight terrorism? In an age when SAT digital data about every aspect of our life is so easy to SAT generate, how much of a right do "they" have to know about SAT us and how much of a right do we have to know about "them?" SAT Combative, provocative and engaging debate chaired by SAT Michael Buerk with Claire Fox, Melanie Phillips, Anne SAT McElvoy and Kenan Malik. Witnesses: David Leigh - The SAT Guardian's investigations editor until 2013, and professor SAT of journalism at City University, London UK, Dame Pauline SAT Neville-Jones - Former Chairman of the Joint Intelligence SAT Committee, Professor Gwythian Prins - Visiting professor of SAT War Studies Buckingham University and member of the Chief of SAT the Defence Staff's Strategic Advisory Panel, Shami SAT Chakrabarti - Director of Liberty.

"To change the world of course" was the reply. SUN SUN Forty years on, Sarah, a Virago author herself, wonders just SUN how much Virago has changed the world. SUN SUN She talks about how, a few weeks ago, as she waited for an SUN hour in the studio of the Today Programme to be interviewed SUN for a piece about female characters in fiction, she didn't SUN hear a single women's voice. SUN SUN She tells how last month, the Australian writer and SUN academic, Kathryn Heyman, got into a very public spat with SUN the editor of the London Review of Books because of a dearth SUN of women writers in its pages. SUN SUN And the ousting of Julia Gillard as Australia's Prime SUN Minister last week is the most striking example that SUN Virago's mission is not yet complete. SUN SUN But Sarah takes some comfort from the fact that Kevin Rudd, SUN the new PM, has an unprecedented six new women in his SUN cabinet. SUN SUN Producer: Adele Armstrong.

SUN SUN She had something of a role model in her mother, a SUN hard-working, clever, successful woman too. Her early years SUN as a pupil at a boys' school in Wales must also have SUN prepared her for making her way in such a heavily SUN male-dominated profession. SUN SUN She has a reputation for being straight-talking, and her SUN late husband used to urge her to be more "prudent", but, she SUN says, "it wasn't fun to be prudent: it was much more fun to SUN be mafioso and naughty."

SUN Charles becomes closer to his Queen Henrietta Maria and what SUN started a marriage of convenience, becomes much deeper as SUN the two try to support each other through turbulent times. SUN Neither of them is able to read the signs of the times as SUN politics and political philosophy take radical new SUN directions. A man of great artistic taste, Charles is both SUN too thoughtful and too indecisive to rule successfully and SUN despite his hatred of war, war becomes his inheritance. Like SUN many fundamentally decent men, Charles lacks iron: the SUN ability to be utterly ruthless when necessary and merciful SUN when expedient.

SUN SUN It's a romantic story about a man - Henry - with a gene that SUN causes him to involuntarily time travel, and the SUN complications it creates for his marriage to Clare. SUN SUN The book opens when they meet in a Chicago library, and they SUN both understand that he is a time traveller. But Clare knows SUN much more than this about him as he has not yet been to the SUN times and places where they have met before, and she SUN remembers him from when she was just six years old. SUN SUN He falls in love with her, as she has already with him, but SUN his continuing unavoidable absences time travelling - and SUN then returning with increasing knowledge of their future - SUN makes things ever more difficult for Clare. SUN SUN Audrey Niffenegger explains how she created a set of rules SUN for the book, such as there would be no sex between the SUN couple before Clare reaches 18; and how Henry's disorder is SUN genetic rather than magical, meaning that when he time SUN travels he arrives naked and with no money or useful SUN possessions. SUN SUN She also talks about the morality of her tale - the SUN consequences of Henry's criminal behaviour, and how she SUN dealt with a male character who effectively moulds the SUN character of Clare as she grows up.

SUN The Department of Health uses a system called Payment by SUN Results to try to ensure better patient care is delivered SUN more efficiently. However Allan Urry hears from hospitals SUN which say they're being treated unfairly and losing millions SUN because of perverse tariffs which short-change them. Critics SUN say the payments system is no longer fit for purpose. SUN So how deep is the financial crisis facing our hospitals?

SUN SUN Also, the acting editor of The Archers, Julie Beckett, is SUN back in the Feedback hotseat. Roger Bolton asks her why a SUN major Archers plot revelation was only heard in the new SUN series of Ambridge Extra, which began this week on the SUN digital station Radio 4 Extra. Some Archers devotees are not SUN happy. SUN SUN Radio comedy is something that regularly leaves audiences SUN unamused. Perhaps that's why Radio 4 commissioned you, the SUN listener, to pen its latest comedy offering The Show What SUN You Wrote on Thursday nights. Roger speaks to two fledgling SUN comedy writers about what it takes to get the nation SUN laughing. SUN SUN And it's not only comedy that's divisive. Last week, SUN Recycled Radio producer Miles Warde fought off strong SUN listener criticism about his series, which takes well-known SUN voices from the archive, chops them up, and creates SUN something new. But after that edition of Feedback aired, SUN admirers of the series immediately came to its defence. SUN SUN One Feedback listener - part-time songwriter Dave Summers - SUN liked Recycled Radio so much that he's dedicated one of his SUN songs to everyone who didn't get it.

MON Laurie Taylor talks to Colin Jerolmack, an American MON sociologist, who spent over 3 years studying pigeon/human MON interaction across 3 continents. Pigeons were domesticated MON thousands of years ago as messengers, as well as a source of MON food.

This new MON study uncovers the many and versatile lives of these MON anonymous looking birds; the ways in which people have kept MON them for sport, for pleasure and profit: From the 'pigeon MON wars' waged by breeding enthusiasts in the skies over MON Brooklyn to the Million Dollar Pigeon Race held every year MON in South Africa. The author argues that our interactions MON with pigeons offer surprising insights into city life, MON community, culture, and politics.

Frantic men, ties loose, sweat beading on MON brows, gesturing and shouting into telephones? That's how it MON was for decades. But no longer. In our IT era, computer code MON - algorithms - rather than humans are placing most of the MON orders to buy or sell on Wall Street. MON MON Trading pits have been replaced by huge warehouses with row MON upon row of computer servers, or black boxes, and the MON traders have been made redundant by clever computer MON programmes called "algos". MON MON The triumph of the machines has not only been at investment MON banks and hedge funds. Most financial institutions, MON including our high street banks and pension funds, rely on MON algorithmic code. These algorithms are having a powerful MON influence on your savings, including your pension fund. MON Competing algorithms clash with each other and, on occasion, MON have caused market meltdowns. MON MON The BBC's Business Editor Robert Peston investigates this MON murky world of financial algorithms. Speaking to traders, MON data miners, the head of the London stock exchange and the MON geeks taking over Wall Street, Peston asks what it means MON when the machines are in control and who it is benefiting. MON Are these magical mechanical minds fulfilling the function MON of the market and plumping up our pension funds, or are they MON causing increasing volatility in markets that have barely MON recovered from the 2008 financial crash?

Well the answer can be found in the first of a MON new series of five programmes in which Brett Westwood joins MON naturalist Phil Gates in a garden near Bristol, and with the MON help of wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson, they offer a MON practical and entertaining guide to the wildlife which MON you're most likely to see and hear in different habitats MON around the garden, beginning with log piles and long grass. MON Here they find "tiggy hogs and coffin cutters", local names MON for woodlice; endearing little armoured scavengers that feed MON mostly on fungi. And where you find woodlice you might also MON find their predators; a spider, "which has got these MON enormous fangs and the woodlice meets a sticky end!". The MON decaying leaves which accumulate in log piles are also good MON hibernation sites for bumblebees; which in spring will MON emerge to collect nectar and pollinate garden plants. So log MON piles can help ensure pollination! In the long grass nearby, MON Brett and Phil go looking for cuckoo spit, and an insect MON which can catapult itself to a height of 140 times its body MON length! They are also attracted by a hive of activity; the MON sounds of red mason bees buzzing around artificial nesting MON sites which have been built for them; these are short MON lengths of drainpipe containing dozens of hollow tubes in MON which the bees make their nests and lay their eggs. MON Artificial nests are a great way of encouraging pollinators MON into your garden. Finally they discuss the merits of wood MON mice in a garden and the creatures they attract; "What could MON better than being in bed at night and hearing Tawny Owls MON hunting in your garden, wood mice are something you really MON do need!"

MON MON Diana and Edward are finally living together, but their MON happiness isn't quite complete, whilst Villy finds solace MON from an unexpected quarter. MON MON Produced and directed by Sally Avens and Marion Nancarrow MON MON 'Casting Off' is the final book in the Cazalet novels by MON Elizabeth Jane Howard, which together give a vivid insight MON into the lives, hopes and loves of three generations during MON the Second World War and beyond. MON As Elizabeth Jane Howard enters her 90th Birthday year, MON Radio 4 are broadcasting dramatisations of all four novels MON between January and July 2013. MON You can catch up with series three, The Cazalets: Confusion, MON on iPlayer. MON This fourth series is set between the summer of 1945 and MON 1947. MON With Rupert missing in France since Dunkirk, his beautiful MON young wife Zoe has had an affair with the American MON photographer, Jack, who has subsequently killed himself. Zoe MON has found solace in her daughter, Juliet and in Rupert's MON friend Archie, who is also a great source of support to her MON step-daughter, Clary. Should Rupert return, Archie is hoping MON for something more than friendship with Clary, but has kept MON this to himself. Meanwhile, Clary's cousin Polly has told MON Archie that she loves him and he has had to turn her down as MON gently as he can. Louise's marriage teeters on the brink, MON since her husband Michael destroyed a letter sent by her MON lover, Hugo whilst Edward's affair with Diana continues: MON she's almost certainly had two of his children. Sid, MON however, has finished her affair with her student, Thelma, MON hoping to bring Rachel back into her life again. But the MON best laid plans are wont to be sabotaged ... MON When Elizabeth Jane Howard began writing the novels her aims MON were modest. "I wanted to write about my youth, and the ten MON years that straddled the Second World War. I also wanted to MON write about what domestic life was like for people at home. MON A lot has been written about the battles and the war in a MON more direct sense, but little had been said about the way MON the whole of England changed. When the war ended, everybody MON was in a different position from where they were when it MON started." MON Two decades later, Howard's quartet of books -- The Light MON Years, Marking Time, Confusion and Casting Off - charting MON the family's fortunes between 1937 and 1947 have sold over a MON million copies. MON Martin Amis said of Elizabeth Jane Howard, "She is, with MON Iris Murdoch, the most interesting woman writer of her MON generation. An instinctivist, like Muriel Spark, she has a MON freakish and poetic eye, and a penetrating sanity." MON A star cast includes Penelope Wilton as the narrator, Pip MON Torrens, Lisa Dillon, Naomi Frederick, Helen Schlesinger, MON Raymond Coulthard, Zoe Tapper, Alix Wilton Regan, Flora MON Spencer-Longhurst and Georgia Groome.

His waspish and witty diaries, which MON have inspired these three linked plays, chart the decline MON and fall of the English country house. MON It's 1942 and Lees-Milne is billeted with the National Trust MON at West Wycombe Park - a world away from Blitz-ridden MON London. Lees-Milne is a rising star of the Trust. Invalided MON out of the army, he's looking for his own battles to fight MON and is determined to save the house and preserve it for the MON nation. But times are hard and the Trust is reliant on a MON considerable endowment before they can acquire a property - MON an endowment which the incumbent inhabitants, Johnnie and MON Helen Dashwood, can ill-afford to pay. Helen is an imperious MON host, but is desperate for paying guests - so when Nancy MON Mitford comes to stay, she's welcomed with open arms. MON Lees-Milne is delighted for the distraction, but it's MON difficult for guests to throw themselves into the house MON party spirit in sub-zero conditions. Fortunately, Nancy is MON obsessed with the Antarctic explorers and Captain Scott, MON even nicknaming the upstairs lavatory 'The Beardmore' (after MON the glacier of the same name), much to Helen's chagrin. But MON it's a brittle peace, as cloistered together, all the guests MON attempt to block out the war for as long as possible. MON MON Produced & directed by Marion Nancarrow MON MON The three plays star Tobias Menzies (Rome; Game of Thrones ) MON as James Lees-Milne and Victoria Hamilton (Lark Rise to MON Candleford; Victoria & Albert) as the novelist Nancy Mitford MON and chart four years during the war when Lees-Milne was at MON his most industrious, trying to save properties for the MON National Trust.

In his MON spare time he composed 24 symphonies. MON MON Rainer Hersch is a British-born German comedian and musician MON who is equally at home closing the show at the famous Comedy MON Store or conducting the Philharmonia at the Festival Hall. MON In his spare time he is a keen amateur astronomer with a MON telescope in his back garden - like Herschel. For 25 years, MON he has been an active member of his local astronomy society. MON MON Now Hersch wants to know more about his namesake and why he MON is not better known. It's a good time to do it - in April MON 2013, the mission of the Herschel Space Observatory, named MON after William Herschel, came to an end. It was the biggest MON Infra-Red satellite ever launched and had been observing the MON Universe in the IR band - but it finally ran out of coolant. MON MON Rainer's journey begins in the garden of the Bath house MON where, in 1781 William Herschel became the first human to MON discover a new planet, Uranus, or Georgium Sidus (George's MON Star) as Herschel insisted on naming it to gain patronage MON from George III. He finds out how Herschel constructed the MON most powerful telescopes then in existence and how this led MON him also to predict the shape of the Milky Way. Herschel MON also discovered Infra-Red radiation. And, despite his MON erroneous predictions about life on the moon and the sun, he MON went from being an obscure German immigrant military MON musician and amateur astronomer to one of the most MON celebrated British scientists of the day.

Despite the recent announcement of further cuts in MON spending, tax rises look difficult to avoid. MON MON Paul explores the reasons for this gap in the budget and MON asks what taxes could help to fill it. With tax avoidance MON and evasion now at the top of world leaders' agendas, he MON asks if the increasingly tax-averse companies sector can be MON made to pay more and how much the rich and wealthy could MON contribute. He also considers the taxation of our houses and MON pensions and whether more will be taken from them. MON MON Then he focuses on the three levies which contribute the MON lion's share of government revenue - income tax, national MON insurance and VAT - and, with politicians, economists and MON tax experts, finds out how much we are all - young and old, MON better and worse off - likely to pay. He also drops in on a MON young family in Norfolk to discover what taxpaying voters MON think of the choices and what they will be expected to pay. MON MON Among those taking part: Nigel Lawson (former Conservative MON Chancellor of the Exchequer); Kitty Ussher (former Labour MON Treasury minister); Bill Dodwell (head of tax policy at MON Deloitte); Julian McCrae (former top Treasury official now MON at the Institute for Government); Gavin Kelly (chief MON executive of the Resolution Foundation who worked during the MON Blair/Brown years in Downing Street and the Treasury); and MON Malcolm Gammie QC (a leading tax lawyer).

Some MON believe the only way to preserve nature is to show that it MON can pay its way in a world driven by money, others disagree MON saying nature is too precious to be left to the whim of MON markets. Monty Don discusses if we should put a price tag on MON nature and if so how do we value it? This week there is a MON report from St. Andrews in North East Scotland where Trai MON Anfield explores the value of the Eden Estuary to both MON nature conversation and human activity. Estuaries and mud MON flats protect our coastlines and filter water entering the MON sea, as well as provide food for many birds - but here and MON all over the world coastlines are under threat from MON development. Jonathan Aylen from the Manchester Business MON School thinks valuing eco-system services is a good idea in MON theory but very hard to put into practice. Environmentalist MON Tony Juniper and Dr Bill Adams from the Department of MON Geography at University of Cambridge also join Monty in the MON studio to discuss the pros and cons of valuing nature. MON MON Estuaries MON MON Estuaries and mud flats are made up of sediment, water, MON specialised plants and a variety of small organisms. MON Estuaries provide a range of functions including protecting MON our coastlines from the sea, filtering the water, providing MON a breeding ground for fish and a valuable source of food for MON many birds. However many estuaries are coming under threat MON from development due to the rise in human population, and MON this threat is on a global level.

In light of the recent revelations TUE by whistleblower, Edward Snowden, Jonathan and his guests TUE explore international surveillance. The documents leaked by TUE the former US National Security Agency contractor reveal TUE that America and Britain have been tapping into global TUE internet communication. Germany is outraged. TUE TUE Almost 100 years ago, Britain sat astride the global TUE telegraph and cable industry. During WW1, Churchill set up a TUE small team of cryptographers and put them in Room 40 at the TUE Admiralty in Whitehall. Their mission: to intercept all TUE telegram traffic. In January 1917, whilst snooping on the US TUE diplomatic cable they intercepted a German telegram from the TUE German foreign ambassador, Arthur Zimmerman which would TUE alter the course of WW1.

THU What the bird is doing is hiding or cache-ing food to be THU eaten later. Coal tits are smaller than their relatives and THU have lower fat reserves, so they store food to compensate THU for any future shortages. In the winter they store seeds and THU in summer they will hide small insects. THU THU 06:00 Today b036kt0z (Listen) THU Morning news and current affairs.

THU THU 11:30 Burma's Zargarnar: The Man Who Laughed at the Generals THU b036kxtt (Listen) THU Zarganar is Burma's greatest living comedian, but he is also THU much more than that. As a political activist, he was a THU fierce critic of Burma's generals who put him in jail THU several times, including five years in solitary confinement, THU for exposing their crimes and human rights violations. THU THU The documentary film-maker Rex Bloomstein secretly THU interviewed Zarganar in Burma in 2007 for a film about THU freedom of expression. At the time Zarganar was banned from THU any artistic activity. THU THU In 2008, he was arrested again and sentenced to 59 years in THU prison (later reduced to 35 years) for giving interviews to THU foreign media about the desperate situation of hundreds of THU thousands of people made homeless by Cyclone Nargis. THU THU In 2010 Bloomstein again visited Burma secretly to make a THU new documentary about Zarganar's imprisonment. After a THU worldwide campaign, Zarganar was finally released in 2011 THU during an amnesty of political prisoners following elections THU and a series of reforms moving to a military-backed civilian THU government. THU THU Bloomstein now travels openly to Burma to interview Zarganar THU in his home country for the first time since his release. THU Arriving just after the recent sectarian violence between THU Buddhists and Muslims in Meitila, he hears how Zarganar is THU trying to mediate between the two sides. He learns that the THU comedian has also been part of a commission looking at the THU violence and displacement of thousands of people in the THU western state of Rakhine. THU THU Even though he is working with a government containing THU people that imprisoned and tortured him, Zarganar continues THU to use his unique satire to speak out as the country moves THU along an uncertain path to democracy.

A THU visit to the National Wool Museum reveals the value of the THU Welsh nursing shawl and 'The Mighty Mule' used for spinning THU threads. She also meets Raymond Jones, the last maker of THU traditional Welsh flannel left in Wales. THU THU With the resurgence of interest in the use of traditional THU wool cloth for textile design a bright future is seen for THU those mills still in operation.

FRI FRI Each story features a deaf central character, and has a FRI Mexican setting: FRI "He felt the beat of his own heart in his chest and it FRI seemed to play into the rhythm of the water in front of him. FRI That heartbeat, and the faint electrical current that fuzzed FRI steadily beneath his eyes, making him feel slightly queasy; FRI that was the soundtrack of Mexico for him." FRI FRI Louise Stern grew up in Fremont, California, and is the FRI fourth generation of her family to be born deaf. She says, FRI "I have always felt that Mexico is a country where words are FRI flesh ... People there, hearing or deaf, are very FRI comfortable with communicating via gestures. Mexico is the FRI place where I feel the least deaf. Although the incidence of FRI deafness is more or less the same in most of Mexico as in FRI the rest of the world (less than one percent), there is a FRI village in Yucatan state in Mexico where everyone uses sign FRI language as a matter of fact, because there is a genetic FRI quirk that means that more people than usual are deaf. This FRI village is not the setting of these stories written for the FRI BBC, but time spent there has influenced the stories." FRI FRI Programme 1: FRI Steven feels settled and accepted in the village, until his FRI lover's ex-husband starts causing trouble for him.
