At first he thought that he was missing out on not SAT being able to see the standard tourist monuments, but when SAT he travels now he has an arsenal of strategies to get to SAT know a place. He listens to local radio, he takes in the SAT sounds of restaurants, travel systems and the voices of the SAT locals. He also meets other blind people and uses their SAT experiences of an area to understand it better and to SAT appreciate the aural clues which help guide them. SAT SAT Peter realised sightseeing was not for him when, as a twelve SAT year, he trailed round the ruins of Berkeley Castle in SAT Gloucestershire: "The fact is, sightseeing and I were never SAT going to see eye to eye. The plain fact is, though, that SAT however good the intentions, touch is not sight - and once SAT you've run your hands over one piece of ancient stone, one SAT stuccoed wall, one marble floor, well, you've touched them SAT all." SAT SAT It was a wish to try to explain and share what it was that SAT could make travelling come alive for a totally blind person, SAT unable to see from birth, that gave rise to the series. In SAT these programmes Peter hopes to build on its growing SAT reputation and its unique take on the world's cities. SAT SAT As Peter says: 'the fact is, sightseeing and I were never SAT going to see eye to eye. The tragedy is that over the years, SAT people have tried so hard to make it work. Specially SAT recorded tapes for blind people, rails to follow so that you SAT can go round unaided, a huge revolution in what you're SAT allowed to touch. SAT SAT 'The plain fact is, though, that however good the SAT intentions, touch is not sight - and once you've run your SAT hands over one piece of ancient stone, one stuccoed wall, SAT one marble floor, well, you've touched them all. SAT The problem with touch really is that the hand is too small. SAT You can only touch one little bit at a time. SAT SAT 'There's too much missing; a sense of size, colour, SAT perspective, visual contrast. With the best will in the SAT world, you are playing at being able to see, and for me, SAT that kind of self-deception has never cut any ice. SAT This, nevertheless, does not mean that travelling, visiting SAT and poking about in other people's cultures cannot be SAT enormous fun for a blind person. It's just that I think you SAT have to be honest about what is fun, and what isn't.'. SAT SAT 11:00 The Forum b03c240z (Listen) SAT Tracking and Surveillance SAT SAT Bridget Kendall and guests explore the shadowy world of SAT tracking and surveillance. As the ability of technology to SAT monitor our online behaviour and even our physical movements SAT in the workplace increases, how far should we be prepared to SAT compromise privacy in the interests of security and SAT efficiency? And how can the same technology be employed to SAT better track endangered species? Finnish cyber-security SAT expert Mikko Hypponen, Kenyan vulture scientist Munir SAT Virani, and Australian political geographer Anja Kanngieser SAT give their views.

SAT SAT From Our Own Correspondent is produced by Tony Grant. SAT SAT 12:00 Money Box b03c2413 (Listen) SAT E.on tariffs; Cyprus property troubles; John Lewis pay; bank SAT texts; CPP compensation SAT SAT Energy supplier E.on has closed its popular StayWarm tariff SAT which guaranteed the cost of gas and electricity a year in SAT advance for tens of thousands of over 60s. E.on says the SAT tariff had to go because new rules which start in December SAT restrict the number of tariffs to four and it has decided SAT StayWarm will not be one. So what are the options for people SAT looking for an energy deal? SAT SAT Hundreds of people in the UK who bought a property in Cyprus SAT face debts of hundreds of thousands of pounds after their SAT mortgages nearly doubled partly due to conversion rates SAT between the Cypriot Pound, the Euro, and the Swiss Franc in SAT which they borrowed the money. They are now taking legal SAT action in Cyprus to get the loans annulled. If they fail SAT they could lose their home in the UK. We hear the full story SAT and what people should look out for when considering buying SAT property abroad. SAT SAT Former staff of retail group John Lewis claim they are being SAT treated unfairly after the shopping giant admitted they had SAT been underpaid in the past. Although current staff are being SAT refunded up to £1000 the chain refuses to pay people who SAT have left of their own accord. And it will cost them SAT hundreds of pounds to go to a tribunal to try to get their SAT money. SAT SAT Does your bank text you with details of your balance so you SAT can make a payment to avoid the hefty charges it makes if SAT you dip by mistake into overdraft? If so, when does the text SAT arrive? And is it before the daily deadline for putting your SAT account into the positive? SAT SAT Are you one of the millions of people (mis)sold credit card SAT and ID theft protection by a firm called CPP? If so you SAT should have had a letter confirming you are on a list for SAT compensation. But what if you have not had the letter? And SAT what's all this about voting?

SAT SAT 14:30 Saturday Drama b03c2417 (Listen) SAT Calum's Road SAT SAT Ian McDiarmid leads this drama inspired by the extraordinary SAT true story of how, over a period of ten years, one man built SAT two miles of road by hand (including passing places) on the SAT Scottish island of Raasay, which lies just off the east SAT coast of Skye. SAT SAT Set in the 1960s and 1970s, Calum MacLeod desperately wanted SAT to save his dying island community; with schools and medical SAT services located more than a half day's journey away, people SAT were finding it increasingly difficult to continue a way of SAT life handed down to them by their ancestors. SAT SAT Born in 1911, MacLeod came from a long line of tough, strong SAT and hard-working Raasay folk. When the council repeatedly SAT turned down his requests for a road to link the north of SAT Raasay to the south he would not be beaten. Instead, he went SAT to a second-hand bookshop and found a dusty volume written SAT in 1910: "Road Making And Maintenance - A Practical Treatise SAT for Engineers, Surveyors and Others" and his extraordinary SAT ten year project began. SAT SAT Colin MacDonald's drama is inspired by Roger Hutchinson's SAT book of the same name.

Named "The Full English", it includes rare SAT archives found in the basement of London's famous Cecil SAT Sharp House and a dozen other collections. Songs that SAT haven't been heard for a hundred years are now being sung SAT again and are already inspiring a new generation of musical SAT writers and artists. SAT SAT English Folk Dance and Song Society (Efdss) librarian SAT Malcolm Taylor has gathered together manuscripts of early SAT 20th century songs that were once scattered across the SAT country and placed them on one searchable internet portal. SAT These are songs collected in the early 20th century by the SAT likes of Cecil Sharp, Vaughan Williams and Percy Grainger SAT who set out, notebook in hand, to record the songs sung by SAT ordinary folk up and down the country. SAT SAT Now a whole new wave of artists is clicking on to the SAT digital archives. Singer Billy Bragg has previously used SAT them for his own musical inspiration and folk musicians Fay SAT Hield, Nancy Kerr and Martin Simpson are now doing it too, SAT as they create new music from old sources. SAT SAT The programme also hears from playwrights Nell Leyshon and SAT Lee Hall (of Billy Elliott fame) who have been drawn into an SAT exploration of the ethics of how the songs were originally SAT collected and published. SAT SAT Our guide to the remarkable 'The Full English' collection is SAT John Kirkpatrick, one of the giants of the British folk SAT scene and BBC Radio 2 Folk Musician of 2010.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b03c241n (Listen) SAT Yeats and Heaney: A Terrible Beauty SAT SAT Fintan O'Toole addresses and explores the careers of the two SAT "smiling public men" who have embodied the different SAT political traditions of Ireland and stood at the same podium SAT in Stockholm, seven decades apart, to receive the Nobel SAT Prize for Literature. SAT SAT With the sad loss of Seamus Heaney this year, this Archive SAT on Four looks at the journeys of Yeats and Heaney, from SAT being an Irish Poet to becoming a "world poet". How did SAT their lives and work mirror each other and what kind of SAT parallels, deliberate or otherwise, can we see in their SAT poetry and their careers? SAT SAT Yeats, as the recorded archive of his interviews and SAT readings demonstrates, was acutely aware of his position as SAT a poet who gave voice to the different traditions in Irish SAT politics. Heaney wrote of his admiration for Yeats as a SAT person who "took the strain of both the major ideologies SAT that were exacerbating Irish political life." SAT SAT As well as admiring Yeats, Heaney consciously emulated him. SAT As early as Wintering Out (1972), a collection which Heaney SAT published after he left Belfast and moved to Dublin, SAT reviewers were noting the influence of Yeats on his writing. SAT But arguably it was in Heaney's public persona that the SAT influence of Yeats can most clearly be seen. Heaney was a SAT poet from Northern Ireland who moved to Dublin and became a SAT powerful poetic voice for the whole island. Also like Yeats SAT he joined an elite band of English Language poets globally SAT known, and who was as likely to be found lecturing at SAT Harvard as at a literary festival in County Sligo or Serbia. SAT SAT Fintan O'Toole looks back at the reputations of two of SAT Ireland's greatest poets and most important public figures. SAT SAT Producer Mark Rickards. SAT SAT 21:00 Classic Serial b03bq0c2 (Listen) SAT Sword of Honour, Men at Arms SAT SAT by Evelyn Waugh SAT Dramatised by Jeremy Front SAT SAT Evelyn Waugh's satirical WW2 masterpiece: SAT Guy Crouchback is a man scarred by a broken marriage, SAT searching for a purpose in a modern world, when war breaks SAT out he feels he may have at last found a cause worth SAT fighting for. SAT SAT Directed by Sally Avens SAT SAT Waugh's trilogy of WWII novels mark a high point in his SAT literary career. Originally published as three volumes: SAT Officers and Gentlemen, Men at Arms and Unconditional SAT Surrender they were extensively revised by Waugh, and SAT published as the one-volume Sword of Honour in 1965, in the SAT form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read. They are SAT dramatised for the Classic Serial in seven episodes. SAT This is a story that continues to delight as we follow the SAT comic and often bathetic adventures of Guy Crouchback. Witty SAT and tragic, engaging and insightful, this work must be SAT counted next to 'Brideshead Revisited' as Waugh's most SAT enduring novel. Like Brideshead, Waugh drew heavily upon his SAT own experiences during WWII. Sword of Honour effortlessly SAT treads the line between the personal and the political - it SAT is at once an indictment of the incompetence of the Allied SAT war effort, and a moving study of one man's journey from SAT isolation to self fulfilment. His adventures are peopled by SAT colourful characters: the eccentric, Apthorpe, one-eyed, SAT Ritchie-Hook, promiscuous, Virginia Troy. At the centre of SAT the novel is Guy for whom we never lose our sympathy as he SAT emerges from his adventures bowed but not broken. From Dakar SAT to Egypt, the Isle of Mugg to the evacuation of Crete, SAT tragedy is leavened by Waugh's acerbic and farcical comedy.

SAT SAT 22:15 Unreliable Evidence b03brqlv (Listen) SAT Instant Justice SAT SAT The widespread use of on-the-spot fines, fixed penalties, SAT cautions and other "out of court disposals" has raised SAT concerns that the criminal justice system is being SAT undermined. SAT SAT To discuss the issues, Clive Anderson brings together the SAT Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer, the chief SAT constable of Surrey Lynne Owens, Bar Council chair Maura SAT McGowan QC, and the chair-elect of the Magistrates SAT Association Richard Monkhouse. SAT SAT Keir Starmer says claims that out of court disposals have SAT become a growth industry are a myth but agrees there needs SAT to be greater scrutiny of the way they are used. He SAT challenges the assertion by shadow justice secretary Sadiq SAT Khan that cautions were issued in 30 cases of rape last year SAT and says such decisions would only be taken in very SAT exceptional circumstances. SAT SAT Richard Monkhouse worries that magistrates are being SAT side-lined and says more cases should be brought before the SAT courts. He is particularly concerned that cuts in legal aid SAT have led to people accepting out of court disposals because SAT they can't afford defence lawyers for low-level offences. SAT SAT Maura McGowan fears the inconsistent use of out of court SAT disposals around the country has diminished public SAT confidence in the system and has left people uncertain about SAT whether they will be prosecuted or just receive a caution. SAT SAT And Lynne Owens admits that police officers sometimes get SAT things wrong, but defends the use of cautions and other SAT disposals for serious offences where victims are reluctant SAT to take the matter to court. SAT SAT All four guests agree there is an urgent need for a simpler SAT and more transparent system. SAT SAT Producer: Brian King SAT An Above the Title production for BBC Radio 4.

'In the world of SUN special needs, where many of our children are either unable SUN to communicate through the spoken word, or choose not to do SUN so, the idea of music as a language takes on a deeper SUN meaning.' SUN SUN The son of a bishop and the godson of an Archbishop of SUN Canterbury, Adrian is challenged in another way, 'I find SUN myself asking why are people with special needs so under SUN represented in our churches and Christian communities? We SUN have failed to offer a theology of inclusion, both SUN practically and spiritually. One of the great privileges I SUN have as a music therapist is that I am focusing on what our SUN children and young people CAN do, beyond their limitations.' SUN SUN This special edition of Sunday Worship will 'drop in' on SUN sessions where music therapy techniques, are used. SUN Interspersed between these moments, the programme will SUN feature songs from Adrian's new album 'Fierce Love', which SUN was inspired by the children he works with and features the SUN extraordinary range of instruments he uses as a therapist. SUN SUN The service includes a reflection by The Revd Martin Lloyd SUN William's, who until recently had a son at Three Ways SUN School, as well as prayers and readings. Martin openly SUN shares his personal experience, and reflected theology, of SUN bringing up a son with Downs Syndrome. SUN SUN This edition of Sunday Worship will be broadcast at 8.10 am SUN on Sunday on Radio 4 and available afterwards on iPlayer.

SUN SUN Brett Westwood presents the serin. Serins breed just across SUN the English Channel but they are small finches that continue SUN to tantalize ornithologists here in the UK. Hopes were SUN raised that this Continental finch would settle here to SUN breed, especially if our climate became warmer. However, SUN something about our islands doesn't suit them. They do like SUN large parks and gardens, so keep an ear out for the song of SUN this visitor....a cross between a goldfinch and a goldcrest, SUN and you may be rewarded.

SUN SUN 13:30 The Road to the National Theatre b03c2jwr (Listen) SUN A House for Shakespeare SUN SUN As the National Theatre approaches its 50th anniversary, SUN James Naughtie traces the long road to its foundation, and SUN explores whether the struggles and delays in fact resulted SUN in a more versatile and creative establishment than SUN elsewhere in Europe. SUN SUN Episode One: A House for Shakespeare SUN SUN France has had a national theatre since 1680, Greece since SUN 1880. The National Theatre in London is a youngster by SUN comparison, with plans to celebrate its 50th birthday in SUN October 2013. SUN SUN For the homeland of Shakespeare, this may seem anomalous, SUN but as James Naughtie investigates the reasons why the SUN founding of a National Theatre took so long, he comes to the SUN conclusion that the delays resulted in an unusually SUN versatile, creative and popular cultural institution. SUN SUN In Episode One, James Naughtie traces the story from 1848, SUN when the radical publisher Effingham Wilson publishes a SUN pamphlet called A House for Shakespeare, to the years of the SUN First World War when hopes for a fitting celebration of the SUN tricentenary of Shakespeare's death were at first dashed and SUN then met in an unexpected way. SUN SUN He speaks with Nicholas Hytner, Richard Eyre, Michael Frayn, SUN Michael Billington and Jacky Bratton, as well as listening SUN to the voices of Laurence Olivier, Sybil Thordyke and other SUN theatrical luminaries in the BBC Archives, tracing a story SUN in which the arts, history, politics and national identity SUN share the stage. SUN SUN Readings: Simon Russell Beale SUN SUN Producer: Beaty Rubens.

The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

SUN SUN 15:00 Classic Serial b03c2myq (Listen) SUN Sword of Honour, Men at Arms SUN SUN by Evelyn Waugh SUN dramatised by Jeremy Front. SUN SUN The Halbadiers are yet to see action so Guy spends his time SUN aiding Apthorpe with the concealment of his Thunder box - a SUN portable latrine. And Guy's ex-wife Virginia makes a SUN reappearance in his life. SUN SUN Directed by Sally Avens SUN SUN Waugh's trilogy of WWII novels mark a high point in his SUN literary career. Originally published as three volumes: SUN Officers and Gentlemen, Men at Arms and Unconditional SUN Surrender they were extensively revised by Waugh, and SUN published as the one-volume Sword of Honour in 1965, in the SUN form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read. They are SUN dramatised for the Classic Serial in seven episodes. SUN This is a story that continues to delight as we follow the SUN comic and often bathetic adventures of Guy Crouchback. Witty SUN and tragic, engaging and insightful, this work must be SUN counted next to 'Brideshead Revisited' as Waugh's most SUN enduring novel. Like Brideshead, Waugh drew heavily upon his SUN own experiences during WWII. Sword of Honour effortlessly SUN treads the line between the personal and the political - it SUN is at once an indictment of the incompetence of the Allied SUN war effort, and a moving study of one man's journey from SUN isolation to self fulfilment. His adventures are peopled by SUN colourful characters: the eccentric, Apthorpe, one-eyed, SUN Ritchie-Hook, promiscuous, Virginia Troy. At the centre of SUN the novel is Guy for whom we never lose our sympathy as he SUN emerges from his adventures bowed but not broken. From Dakar SUN to Egypt, the Isle of Mugg to the evacuation of Crete, SUN tragedy is leavened by Waugh's acerbic and farcical comedy.

SUN SUN Hilary Mantel discusses Bring Up the Bodies, her 2nd Man SUN Booker Prize winning novel. SUN SUN England, 1535. A one-time mercenary, master-politician, SUN lawyer and doting father, Thomas Cromwell has risen from SUN commoner to become King Henry VIII's chief adviser. He SUN learnt everything he knew from his mentor Cardinal Wolsey, SUN whose place he has taken. SUN SUN Anne Boleyn is now Queen, her path to Henry's side cleared SUN by Cromwell. But Henry remains without a male heir, and the SUN conflict with the Catholic Church has left England SUN dangerously isolated as France and the Holy Roman Empire SUN manoeuvre for position. SUN SUN Mantel charts how the King begins to fall in love with the SUN seemingly plain Jane Seymour at her family home of Wolf SUN Hall; how Cromwell must negotiate an increasingly dangerous SUN court as he charms, bullies and manipulates nobility, SUN commoners and foreign powers alike to satisfy Henry, and SUN advance his own ambitions. SUN SUN Hilary Mantel is the first author to win two Man Booker SUN Prizes with consecutive novels. She discusses Bring Up the SUN Bodies with Jim and her readers at the Budleigh Salterton SUN Literary Festival in Devon - and gives tantalising insights SUN into the final part of the trilogy, The Mirror and the SUN Light, which will be published in 2015.

MON Composed towards the end of the first millennium, the MON Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf is one of the great Northern epics MON and a classic of European literature.

MON Here, in a recording made ten years ago, Seamus Heaney MON brings his vibrant powerful writing to life as he reads ten MON fifteen minute extracts from the narrative. MON The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, MON and then living on, physically and psychically exposed, in MON that exhausted aftermath. It is not hard to draw parallels MON between this story and the history of the twentieth century, MON nor can Heaney's Beowulf fail to be read partly in the light MON of his Northern Irish upbringing.

MON MON The number system which the world uses today originated in MON India in the early centuries of the First Millennium AD. It MON is usually called the Arabic numeral system, but in the MON Middle East the scheme employing the symbols 0 to 9 is MON correctly referred to as the Indian system. The designation MON of zero as a number in its own right by South Asian thinkers MON was arguably the greatest conceptual leap in the history of MON mathematics. MON MON During his numerical odyssey, Alex visits a temple in MON Gwalior containing the earliest zero in India with a known MON date. He is also granted an audience with one of Hinduism's MON most revered gurus, who is also an author of books on MON numbers. His Holiness, the Shankaracharya of Puri tells Alex MON that the study of mathematics is a path to Nirvana. MON MON In conversation with India's most eminent mathematician, MON Professor S G Dani in Mumbai, Alex hears how early Indian MON philosophers toyed with numbers far more massive than the MON Greeks. Buddhists, for example, mused on a number with 53 MON zeros and the Jains contemplated various varieties of MON infinity - something that modern mathematicians do two MON thousand years later. MON MON Alex also dips into the current controversy surrounding MON so-called Vedic Mathematics. This is a collection of speed MON arithmetic tricks which a great guru of the early twentieth MON century claimed to have discovered in the Vedas, Hinduism's MON most sacred scriptures.

MON MON Founded with money donated by Penguin following the Lady MON Chatterley trial, the idea of the CCCS was to move away from MON traditional cultural thinking, which emphasized the MON importance of "high culture," toward a focus on contemporary MON "lived experience" and popular culture. So out went a MON preoccupation with the Great Tradition, and in came a MON theory-infused approach to pop music and soap operas. MON MON Society was changing. There needed to be a response to the MON explosion in leisure and popular culture in the post-war MON period and it took outsiders -- Richard Hoggart, Raymond MON Williams and the slightly younger Stuart Hall -- to identify MON what these new appetites could tell us about changes in the MON wider society. MON MON The aim in refocusing on mass media and popular song was to MON develop a critical language that would spread throughout MON society. It was of absolute importance that people were able MON to arm themselves against peddlers of rubbish. It mattered MON to those founders that people be able to look at a magazine MON or a soap and work out whether it had been produced out of MON sincere enthusiasm or cynicism. MON MON In the intervening years, culture has been radically MON democratised -- via tabloids, TV and the internet -- and MON it's cultural studies that provided the critical tools to MON understand that. But has it really made us any more savvy MON about what's being sold to us, culturally?

MON Anita talks to teachers and students who have found MON themselves in these illicit relationships and the MON headteachers who try to prevent them from ever happening.

MON MON Last June, Edward Snowden, a man still in his twenties with, MON as he put it, "a home in paradise", went on the run. He took MON with him vast amounts of secret information belonging to the MON US government's security services. MON MON Snowden holds libertarian - or anti-statist - views. He MON believes the American government's pervasive surveillance MON activities which he revealed break the law but are also MON morally wrong. MON MON In Britain, "The Guardian" newspaper published the MON classified information Snowden had obtained. This seemed MON odd. Editorially, it was not sympathetic to Snowden's MON anti-state nostrums. But, on privacy grounds, it agreed with MON him that it was inherently wrong for democratic governments MON to spy on their citizens online. Furthermore, it argued that MON governments should not decide for themselves when and how MON they would do their surveillance. MON MON It is this political alliance between the libertarian right MON and the liberal left - which are normally opposed to one MON another - which David Aaronovitch investigates in this MON programme. MON MON He explores, in a detailed interview with the editor of "The MON Guardian", Alan Rusbridger, why the newspaper published the MON secret information. Are states threatening citizens' privacy MON in the cyber age? Or is it in fact governments which are MON more vulnerable than ever before to the unauthorised MON disclosure of their secrets? MON MON What secrets is the state itself entitled to keep from its MON citizens and from potential enemies? And who decides that MON question?the security services, Parliament or the MON government? Or the press and the whistle-blowers? Alan MON Rusbridger claims his newspaper can properly adjudicate what MON should and should not be published about state secrets. But MON how does he justify that apparently self-serving argument?

In this a MON woman is visited in the night by her lover, returned after MON seven years at sea. It turns out that he was drowned, the MON visitor is his ghost... and he cannot stay. MON MON There are many varieties of night visiting song: tales of MON seduction; stories of deception, when the visitor turns out MON not to be the expected lover; and songs of ghostly MON visitation. MON MON In 'The Night Visiting' Tim probes the history, meaning and MON significance of these songs. He talks to the singer Martin MON Carthy about their power. Dr Vic Gammon sets them in their MON international context - there are in Europe dawn songs. He MON hears from Bella Hardy; the first song she ever wrote was a MON new night visiting song. MON MON Tim believes that the night visiting songs are more than old MON yarns; that they speak to us today of desire, love and loss MON - and sexual and class politics. He tests his ideas with the MON Jungian psychotherapist, Warren Colman. Professor Chris MON French, who researches the paranormal, and film-maker Carla MON MacKinnon, who have both been working on sleep paralysis, MON consider the psychology of the songs, what might actually be MON happening to the people in them. MON MON Tim considers, too, how the night visiting is a trope in our MON literature. Isn't the balcony scene in 'Romeo and Juliet' a MON night visit? What of Cathy in 'Wuthering Heights'? MON Throughout, we hear beautiful, haunting, night visiting MON songs, performed by the people Tim speaks to, and taken from MON archive recordings.

But faced TUE with racism and cultural theft for decades, African-American TUE musicians, DJs, businessmen and women have struggled to have TUE any real control or ownership in the business. Even though TUE millionaire music moguls like P Diddy and 50 Cent today give TUE the impression blacks have real industry power, aren't they TUE just a few very visible exceptions? Exceptions whose TUE companies are actually distributed by white-owned TUE conglomerates? In this three part series financial educator, TUE broadcaster and music obsessive Alvin Hall examines the TUE political economy of African American music, from jazz to TUE Jay Z. TUE Our series begins with Alvin travelling back to the turn of TUE the 20th century. Just 50 years after the American Civil TUE War, the emerging jazz and blues music was gaining TUE popularity but blacks were still very much second class TUE citizens. America was segregated, Jim Crow laws were in full TUE effect and lynching was prevalent. The nascent recording TUE industry was simply a reflection of America at that time. TUE Alvin examines the early history of blacks in the recording TUE industry in blues, jazz, rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll. TUE From the first black-owned record label to white record TUE companies re-recording black music it seems that blacks TUE created new music while whites exploited it. But was there TUE more than racism at work? Did middle class blacks ignore the TUE music of working-class blacks, allowing whites to take TUE control?

And she speaks to Colonel TUE Jennie Carignan, one of the Canadian Army's most senior TUE women, about the challenges the organisation faced in TUE integrating women. TUE TUE The British armed forces last reviewed their exclusion of TUE women from these roles in 2010, and are not due to TUE reconsider until 2017-18.

TUE The cost is officially estimated to be £42.6bn and could TUE rise to more than £51bn if, as expected, the scheme incurs TUE VAT. Opponents foresee further increases and have predicted TUE an eventual bill of £80bn for taxpayers. TUE Who stands to gain from the project and who will be the TUE losers? TUE The government has published detailed maps of the route to TUE be taken by the first stage, leading to calamitous falls in TUE the value of many nearby properties. TUE Towns and cities which are near the route but not linked to TUE HS2 fear that their economies will suffer as businesses are TUE attracted to Birmingham and the northern ends of the line. TUE Current fast train services are due to suffer drastic cuts TUE in the wake of HS2 and some major development plans are now TUE deemed to be at risk. TUE Meanwhile, economic advisers in the three major cities are TUE planning for billions of pounds worth of benefits as TUE travel-times and congestion on the existing network are TUE reduced. TUE Gerry Northam reports from areas which expect to benefit TUE from HS2 and those which could lose out and asks what TUE lessons can be learned from the impact of Britain's first TUE high-speed rail project - HS1 in Kent.

WED WED The sound recordist Chris Watson, regularly travels to and WED from this station and became fascinated by the sounds and WED acoustics of the building, so when he was granted permission WED to record inside, he leapt at the chance, visiting at WED various times during both day and night over several months, WED to capture the sounds within; from the quiet crackle of the WED overhead wires on a misty dawn morning to the terrifying WED roar and clamour of footballs fans and police dogs when WED Newcastle were playing at home to Sunderland, and the WED chanting voices and shouts of the fans overwhelmed even the WED sounds of the trains. WED WED Newcastle upon Tyne Central Station was designed by John WED Dobson and opened by Queen Victoria in 1850. Entering WED through a grand sandstone portico " that would give dignity WED and certainly put Newcastle on the map" says building WED historian, Grace McCombie, one is immediately struck by the WED acoustics of this grand Victorian building. The great WED sweeping curve of the platforms and the vaulted roof above WED add to the visual grandeur and scale of the Station, "you WED stand at one end.. and your eye sweeps along the curves and WED it's just beautiful... brilliant, brilliant design" says WED Grace "It's like a huge concert hall" says Chris "and it WED stamps that acoustic on any sound that is generated within WED the station; the ebb and flow of people, the tide of trains, WED ... everything that happens in there".

THU THU 11:30 Troubled Walls b03c4f31 (Listen) THU Splashed across gable walls, Belfast's murals tell an THU impassioned tale of conflict and community, reflecting the THU hopes and fears of local people. THU THU With more than three hundred murals throughout the city, THU these multi-storey paintings are a feature of many working THU class estates, providing the backdrop to over thirty years THU of sectarian violence. THU THU A debate is underway about what should become of them now THU that Northern Ireland is trying to move away from conflict. THU THU Earlier this year the Arts Council of Northern Ireland THU launched the second phase of its 'Re-imaging Communities' THU programme in the hope of replacing these paramilitary murals THU with more neutral images. THU THU This begs questions not just of the murals, but also of the THU role of art in our society, and whether it can, or should, THU engineer social change. THU THU There's often a strong community attachment to the murals, THU no matter how frightening they might seem to some. They THU honour the dead, commemorate events and stand as testimony THU to the continued presence of paramilitary groups, which some THU see as a comfort in the often fragmented city. THU THU But even if a paramilitary mural is taken down it doesn't THU mean the past is buried. In September a painting of THU footballer George Best was replaced with an image dedicated THU to the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a development which has THU been met with disquiet among local residents.

THU THU The government announced in 2010 that it planned to create a THU single payment - combining six of the current benefits THU available for those struggling financially. The plan for THU Universal Credit was developed in Opposition by Iain Duncan THU Smith, now Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. THU THU It was envisioned that there would be a pilot in April 2013, THU with the system rolled out to all new out-of-work claimants THU by October 2013. By 2017 all those in receipt of benefits THU should be claiming Universal Credit. THU THU However, it was announced earlier this year that the pilot THU would only include a very small number of new claimants - THU the most simple to process. The national roll-out has now THU been scaled back. And in September this year the National THU Audit Office produced a damning report, saying the project THU had been beset with problems. THU THU But was the plan too ambitious in the first place? Or could THU better management have delivered the project to the THU timescales originally set out? Simon Cox travels to the THU areas of Greater Manchester where the new benefit is being THU trialled to see how Universal Credit is being welcomed. THU THU Producer: Charlotte McDonald.
