The whole animal is SAT portioned up and used, from the loins to the bones, and for SAT each piece of meat, there's a different market. SAT SAT Export manager Graham Penny divides his time between the SAT factory, and trade stands across the world. He's managed to SAT sell his Welsh lamb to Canada, Singapore and even find SAT markets in Ghana - as well as France. As well as cutting to SAT consider, Graham needs to make sure his products are SAT correctly weighed and labelled for the right country in SAT order to tempt customers to buy. SAT SAT Welsh lamb might be a growing export but it's not the only SAT product which is in high demand from across the globe. SAT British cheese, sausages, alcohol and beef are just some of SAT the other products which customers abroad are developing an SAT appetite for.

David Jason's tribute to Cosgrove Hall SAT b03ccz0r (Listen) SAT In 1983 Cosgrove Hall Films' Danger Mouse topped the TV SAT ratings with 21 million viewers - beating Coronation Street. SAT To this day, the Bond-style secret agent, super hero mouse SAT holds the record for viewers of a British children's SAT television show. SAT SAT The voice of Danger Mouse himself - Sir David Jason - tells SAT the colourful story of Cosgrove Hall, the legendary SAT Manchester animation company behind so many of the nation's SAT best-loved children's TV programmes. SAT SAT For 30 years, BAFTA and EMMY award-winning animation duo SAT Brian Cosgrove and the late Mark Hall delighted children SAT (and often adults) with their many memorable creations - SAT from the often surreal Chorlton and the Wheelies, Jamie and SAT the Magic Torch, and Count Duckula, to remakes of cherished SAT classics like Noddy, Andy Pandy and Bill and Ben. SAT SAT Cosgrove Hall's extensive back catalogue also includes Wind SAT in the Willows, Cockleshell Bay, Roald Dahl's The BFG, Engie SAT Benjy and Kenny Everett's daft animated space adventure SAT Captain Kremmen, as well as animated lost episodes of Doctor SAT Who. SAT SAT Sir David explores Cosgrove Hall's triumphs - as well as the SAT tragedies that led this iconic company to close and its SAT historic studios to be knocked down. He also considers the SAT company's legacy and influence on today's British animation SAT industry - and beyond. SAT SAT And he offers a rare insight into its colourful working SAT relationship with stars like Kenny Everett as well as SAT revealing the truth behind the rumours that Danger Mouse is SAT set to make a comeback.

The news caravan may have moved on SAT from Libya, but Tim Whewell's been finding out that the SAT country's still in the midst of a revolution. Joanna Jolly SAT has been to Uttar Pradesh in India to report on the SAT aftermath of fighting between Hindus and Muslims.

SAT SAT 12:00 Money Box b03ccz0y (Listen) SAT Royal Mail shares; Water bill deal; Help to Buy 2 SAT SAT Individuals applying for shares in Royal Mail either got SAT £749.10 worth or nothing. The cut-off point was £10,000 - if SAT you applied for £10,000 worth or less you got 227 shares at SAT their price of 330p each. If you applied for more than SAT £10,000 you got nothing. Individual investors will have to SAT wait for a couple of weeks to get the balance of their money SAT refunded. Commercial investors could get any amount of SAT shares - though many got nothing as it was vastly SAT oversubscribed. And those who have already sold made a 33% SAT profit. SAT SAT Thousands of customers of a firm that promised to cut their SAT water bills by 8% will have to pay twice for their water SAT after the firm went out of business this week. SmartSource SAT Water took monthly payments and promised to meet their water SAT bills after negotiating a reduction with the supplier. But SAT earlier this year SmartSource Water stopped passing on money SAT to water companies leaving some customers in debt and with SAT estimates of up to £4 million missing. SAT SAT Five major lenders have now signed up for the Government's SAT mortgage guarantee scheme known as Help To Buy 2. It will SAT enable lenders to offer 95% mortgages with the Government SAT insuring some of the risk to refund 14.25% of any loss. Only SAT two have announced the rates they will charge and one has SAT reported queues and major interest from customers. But SAT another bank, Yorkshire and Clydesdale, is already offering SAT a better deal outside the scheme. What should buyers be SAT aware of before taking the offer up? SAT SAT The retailer John Lewis has upset former staff by refusing SAT to reimburse them for underpaid wages. But it is giving SAT compensation to current employees and retirees. These SAT ex-employees may have a legal case. But can they afford the SAT new £250 fee to go to an Employment Tribunal? A lawyer SAT explains their rights. SAT SAT Your call is valuable to us. Especially if it is on a 08 SAT number where the recipient makes money as well as the SAT carrier. New EU rules will mean that retail firms have to SAT offer customers complaint lines where normal landline costs SAT apply. But there are exemptions - financial firms and SAT holiday suppliers among them can continue to make us pay SAT when they fail us. Why?

SAT SAT 14:30 Saturday Drama b03ccz12 (Listen) SAT The Confessions of Caminada by Christopher Reason SAT SAT Jerome Caminada was a real life detective in nineteenth SAT century Manchester. This drama is based on a real life case SAT from his memoirs. It is 1889 and eighteen year old Charlie SAT Parton has been convicted of murder of a respected local SAT councillor. He faces execution but prominent social SAT campaigner Mrs Annie Swinton knows the lad and refuses to SAT believe he is guilty. SAT SAT Manchester is gripped by an economic depression, the SAT political atmosphere is febrile, there are demonstrations on SAT the streets and crime is spiralling. Only this isn't 2013, SAT it's the 1880s and the man keeping chaos at bay is Detective SAT Inspector JEROME CAMINADA. Combining high principles with SAT low cunning, he cracks down on both political dissent and SAT criminality with single-minded ruthlessness. And yet for all SAT his hard nosed pragmatism, he is capable of moments of SAT insight, humour and compassion. The man is an enigma. SAT SAT Credits SAT Jerome Caminada: George Costigan SAT Annie Swinton: Julia Ford SAT Father Dermot: Russell Dixon SAT Bannister: Russell Dixon SAT Fletcher: Jonathan Keeble SAT Wood: Jonathan Keeble SAT Moods: Justin Moorhouse SAT Charlie: Oliver Lee SAT Writer: Christopher Reason SAT Director: Gary Brown SAT Producer: Gary Brown SAT SAT 15:30 Julie Fowlis' Heritage Well b01rl7cy (Listen) SAT Acclaimed Gaelic singer and multi-instrumentalist Julie SAT Fowlis has taken the songs she learnt from her native Outer SAT Hebrides to Hollywood. SAT SAT Her music, learnt from oral tradition and archives of an SAT almost extinct way of life, now graces the screens of hit SAT movies such as Disneyland Pixar's Brave and entertains SAT audiences at major international events such as the Ryder SAT Cup. SAT SAT Since a very young girl, Julie has been on a mission to SAT celebrate and preserve her culture through its music. She SAT now wants to encourage the next generation of Scots to do SAT the same. SAT SAT Tobar an Dulchais/Kist o Riches (well of heritage) is an SAT ambitious project that aims to preserve and make accessible SAT several thousand hours of Gaelic and Scots recordings from SAT the School of Scottish Studies, BBC and the National Trust SAT for Scotland's Canna Collection. There are already more than SAT 30,000 songs, stories and tunes available online for anyone SAT to hear. SAT SAT Julie's role as Gaelic Artist in Residence for Tobar an SAT Dualchais involves working with students and this immense SAT online archive of recordings to create new songs and SAT interpretations. Many of these students will never have SAT heard this traditional material before so the outcome is SAT bound to be exciting, contemporary and surprising. SAT SAT As we follow the students through this process from SAT beginning to end, Julie remembers trawling through the SAT archives herself, searching for material for her early SAT recordings. She takes us back to her home - the Island of SAT North Uist - and takes a trip to the tiny Island of Scalpay SAT to talk to one of the great experts on Gaelic song Morag SAT MacLeod. She also hears from the BBC's former head of Gaelic SAT Jo MacDonald and singer Eddi Reader. SAT SAT Producer: Kellie While SAT A Smooth Operations production for BBC Radio 4.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b03cd572 (Listen) SAT The World Turned Upside Down SAT SAT Peter Day has now presented Radio 4's In Business programme SAT for 25 years, and he uses this wealth of archive to argue SAT that during that time, the world of manufacture and trade SAT has been turned upside down. SAT We've gone from mass production for mass markets, as started SAT by the Ford assembly line 100 years ago, to a world of SAT customised trading for individuals. This has largely been SAT caused by the internet, which is revolutionising the world SAT of manufacture and commerce in a way that's as profound as SAT that caused by the advent of printing 500 years ago. SAT SAT As the Silicon Valley executive Joe Kraus once told In SAT Business, instead of "dozens of markets of millions", we now SAT have "millions of markets of dozens". Just think E-bay. SAT Companies have started to listen to mass-customisation guru SAT Joe Pine, who spoke on the programme a few years ago and SAT said that "consumers don't want choice, they just want SAT exactly what they want". SAT SAT The internet makes individualised trading possible, and SAT technology is increasingly making individualised SAT manufacturing possible, too. Not just by companies, but SAT ultimately by consumers themselves: in a few years' time, we SAT may be able to buy "smart sand", that can be digitally SAT programmed to shape itself into one tool, and when you're SAT done with it, you dissolve it before re-assembling the SAT "sand" into another tool, as per your needs.

SAT SAT The Halbadiers are yet to see action so Guy spends his time SAT aiding Apthorpe with the concealment of his Thunder box - a SAT portable latrine. And Guy's ex-wife Virginia makes a SAT reappearance in his life. 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 Moral Maze b03c49xh (Listen) SAT It was a complex and nuanced ruling, but its ramifications SAT could be profound. Keir Starmer, the Director of Public SAT Prosecutions, yesterday explained why it was right not to SAT charge two doctors over claims they offered abortions based SAT on gender. It wasn't just that on the facts in these cases SAT it would not be possible to prove that either doctor had SAT carried out gender-specific abortions, but also that the SAT 1967 Abortion Act doesn't expressly prohibit such abortions. SAT The ruling has highlighted what for some is the vague and SAT unsatisfactory nature of the law on abortion. Mr Starmer SAT accepted that some would disagree with his decision, but SAT says that if current arrangements are deemed unsatisfactory, SAT it may be time for others to tighten or change the law. The SAT act is now nearly fifty years old and over that time our SAT social values have changed almost as much as our scientific SAT knowledge in this field. So what are the moral tests we SAT should apply today to what should be one of the most SAT profound moral choices we face?

SUN SUN 00:30 Afternoon Reading b010dsw8 (Listen) SUN Tales from the Casino, Three Before Eight SUN SUN It is all about ritual. Saturday comes and Rob, a seasoned SUN DJ at the Casino, is sorting through and packing his records SUN for the night. SUN SUN Between 1973 and 1981 Wigan Casino was arguably the ultimate SUN venue for Northern Soul music. Young people from all over SUN the UK regularly made the trek to Wigan to dance to the SUN latest Northern Soul artists. Queues to get in were SUN sometimes five or six people deep, and stretched quite a way SUN up the road. The highlight was the weekly all-nighter, with SUN Russ Winstanley as DJ, which traditionally ended with three SUN songs that became known as the Three Before Eight: "Time SUN Will Pass You By" by Tobi Legend, "Long After Tonight Is SUN Over" by Jimmy Radcliffe and "I'm On My Way" by Dean SUN Parrish. SUN SUN These three specially-commissioned stories by Laura Barton SUN (herself from Wigan) hark back to a time when the town threw SUN off the image created by George Orwell and the Casino was SUN voted 'Best Disco In the World' by American Billboard SUN Magazine. SUN SUN Laura Barton was born in Lancashire in 1977. She is a SUN freelance writer of features and music columns, notably SUN 'Hail, Hail, Rock 'n' Roll' for the Guardian. Her first SUN story for radio, The Carpenter, was broadcast in 2009 as SUN part of Sweet Talk's We Are Stardust, We Are Golden series SUN for BBC Radio 4.

He SUN learns his lesson, in CS Lewis's book The Voyage of the Dawn SUN Treader, when he is transformed into a dragon. SUN SUN Inspired by Eustace's story, John McCarthy explores our SUN relationship to our skins and how what's inside us is SUN affected and shaped by what is outside us. SUN SUN John considers how a tough hide can make us feel safe but SUN can also get in the way, inhibiting our attempts to build SUN meaningful relationships. He questions our assumptions about SUN how physical ugliness might be linked to emotional or mental SUN worth, and meets John Furse, film and television director SUN and writer, who has suffered from a condition called Body SUN Dysmorphic Disorder since youth. This debilitating mental SUN illness causes sufferers to focus obsessively on what they SUN see as horrific defects in their appearance. SUN SUN As Eustace-the-dragon hankers for transformation, John SUN considers why real change is so hard and frightening for SUN many of us, and how every new beginning is intrinsically SUN bound up with something ending. And as he explores what SUN Lewis's rich and strange tale reveals about human nature. SUN John also finally reveals what happens to Eustace.

SUN SUN 06:35 On Your Farm b03cd94k (Listen) SUN Feeding the Concrete Cow SUN SUN The land surrounding Severn Trent Water's Stoke Bardolph SUN sewage treatment works has been used historically for SUN recycling sewage waste and so cannot be used to grow crops SUN for human consumption, because of contamination. But the SUN farm lies close to the River Trent and is well drained and SUN extremely fertile. In 2010 Severn Trent Water invested £15 SUN million in an anaerobic digester, which is now the UK's SUN largest Energy Crop Anaerobic Digestion plant. Each day 100 SUN tons of crop silage grown on the farm estate is fed into the SUN plant to be anaerobically digested. The silage is converted SUN into methane which is then used to produce 15GWh of SUN electricity a year, equivalent to supplying around 4,500 SUN homes. It also powers the adjoining sewage works. The waste SUN produced at the end of the process makes a good natural SUN fertiliser which is re-applied to the land to help grow next SUN year's crop. SUN SUN The farmer compares the process to feeding a concrete cow. SUN On Your Farm visits the estate as the maize is being SUN harvested, to see this concrete cow at work.

SUN SUN Farm Africa SUN SUN Hunger is one of the biggest challenges facing the world SUN today. More people die from it each year than from AIDS, SUN malaria and TB combined. SUN SUN Farm Africa believes that Africa’s farmers can feed Africa’s SUN people. We provide solutions before hunger becomes an SUN emergency. We work alongside smallholder farmers, giving SUN them the tools and skills they need to feed their families - SUN for good. We also train farmers in how to market and sell SUN their produce, helping them build businesses and provide for SUN their families for many years to come. SUN SUN Healthy Harvests SUN SUN Eighty percent of rural African people depend on small SUN family plots for their livelihoods. Most farmers have less SUN than one hectare of land and struggle to grow enough food to SUN survive. SUN SUN Farm Africa introduces simple and effective technologies SUN like faster-maturing and disease-resistant varieties of SUN native crops like cassava, producing healthy harvests and SUN surpluses for farmers and their families. SUN SUN Forests and Mushroom Farming SUN SUN Forestry communities have traditionally felled or burned SUN down trees for timber, charcoal and land for their livestock SUN to graze on. SUN SUN Farm Africa is training communities on how to make a SUN sustainable living from the forest’s natural resources like SUN wild honey, coffee and mushrooms. SUN SUN Goats for Widows SUN SUN Many widows have little land or assets. Two or three goats SUN and training in how to care for and breed them is all it SUN takes to set them on a path to prosperity. The goats provide SUN nutritious milk and any offspring can be kept to build the SUN herd, or sold to pay for essentials such as food and SUN medicines.

If he's not busy telling SUN us why we should love midges he's enthusing about the SUN hearing capacity of a barn owl. His passion for animals is SUN clear, what they think of him remains a little more SUN uncertain; he's been attacked by a baboon, charged by lions SUN and bitten by a puff adder. SUN SUN His obsession with the natural world began early when a SUN predictable boyhood fascination for tadpoles and ladybirds SUN grew to encompass mosquito larvae, lizards, snakes and bats. SUN As a teenager he collected badger droppings by day and SUN pogoed with electric blue hair at Clash gigs by night. SUN SUN These days he distinguishes himself by his impressive SUN knowledge of his subject and his outspoken views on SUN everything from countryside culls to the problems with cat SUN owners. SUN SUN He says, "I'll never rest until I've tried to do my own SUN small bit in terms of changing the environment so it's a SUN better place.

SUN SUN Episode Two: Whose National Theatre? SUN SUN James Naughtie takes up the story from the end of the First SUN World War, but his particular focus is on how the SUN introduction of a National Health Service and National SUN Insurance after the Second World War shifted cultural SUN attitudes. SUN SUN He looks into the legacy of the Festival of Britain and the SUN ways in which this eased the way for a National Theatre SUN company and, eventually, its iconic building on the South SUN Bank. SUN SUN He considers why, when this building was at last opened in SUN 1976, its publicity poster boldly declared "The New National SUN Theatre is Yours". SUN SUN James Naughtie speaks with Nicholas Hytner, Richard Eyre, SUN Michael Frayn and Michael Billington as well as listening to SUN the voices of Laurence Olivier, Sybil Thorndike, Lillian SUN Bayliss and other theatrical luminaries in the BBC Archives, SUN tracing a story in which the arts, history, politics and SUN national identity share the stage.

SUN SUN Jung Chang talks to Mariella Frostrup about her biography of SUN the Empress Dowager Cixi, the woman who was the power behind SUN the throne of Imperial China for over forty years.

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

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

So forget MON what you may know about the Roman empire, and enter a MON country which doesn't really feel unified yet. MON MON "Italy is a divided country, no doubt about that. The MON Italian equivalent of nationalism is campanalismo, from the MON word for bell tower - this is the attachment of Italians to MON their city square." Dr Filippo de Vivo.

He argues that there TUE is no empirical way to judge quality in art. Instead the TUE validation of quality rests in the hands of a tightknit TUE group of people at the heart of the art world including TUE curators, dealers, collectors and critics who decide in the TUE end what ends up in galleries and museums. Often the last to TUE have a say are the public. TUE Perry examines the words and language that have developed TUE around art critique, including what he sees as the growing TUE tendency to over-intellectualise the response to art. He TUE analyses the art market and quotes - with some irony - an TUE insider who says that certain colours sell better than TUE others. He queries whether familiarity makes us like certain TUE artworks more, and encourages the public to learn to TUE appreciate different forms of art through exploration and TUE open-mindedness. TUE Perry was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003, and is known for TUE his ceramic works, printmaking, drawing, sculpture and TUE tapestry as well as for his cross-dressing and alter-ego, TUE Claire.

TUE TUE 15:30 Costing the Earth b03cn0rb (Listen) TUE Mind the Gap TUE TUE Our energy needs are growing as our energy supply dwindles. TUE Renewables have not come online quickly enough and we are TUE increasingly reliant on expensive imported gas or cheap but TUE dirty coal. Last year the UK burnt 50% more coal than in TUE previous years but this helped reverse years of steadily TUE declining carbon dioxide emissions. By 2015 6 coal fired TUE power stations will close and the cost of burning coal will TUE increase hugely due to the introduction of the carbon price TUE floor. Shale gas and biomass have been suggested as quick TUE and easy solutions but are they really sustainable, or TUE cheap? TUE TUE Carbon Capture and Storage could make coal or gas cleaner TUE and a new study suggests that with CCS bio energy could even TUE decrease global warming. Yet CCS has stalled in the UK and TUE the rest of Europe and the debate about the green TUE credentials of biomass is intensifying. So what is really TUE the best answer to Britain's energy needs? Tom Heap TUE investigates. TUE TUE 16:00 Law in Action b03cn0rd (Listen) TUE Interview with the Attorney General TUE TUE In this week's programme, the Attorney General for England TUE and Wales Dominic Grieve speaks to Joshua Rozenberg in an TUE extended interview. TUE TUE To begin, they discuss the issue of sentencing and the TUE attorney general's role as gatekeeper to the appeals court. TUE How does he go about deciding whether a sentence is lenient TUE or unduly lenient - and therefore worthy of an appeal? What TUE are the factors he takes into consideration? And how can TUE members of the public make an appeal to his office, to ask TUE for a case to be reviewed? TUE TUE The programme also speaks to Lord Justice Sir Colman Treacy, TUE a senior member of the Sentencing Council, about the TUE council's advisory role, asking whether he thinks sentencing TUE is becoming more lenient. TUE TUE The conversation moves on to international law, and the TUE recent raids by US special forces in Libya and Somalia, in TUE which a suspected leader of Al Qaeda was detained. Did the TUE United States break international law by taking such action? TUE And what about the British government's decision to push for TUE military action in Syria - would it have been legal? TUE TUE Finally, many voices within the Conservative Party want to TUE restrict the influence of the European Court of Human TUE Rights. But does Dominic Grieve agree with his cabinet TUE colleagues? He warns of the potential cost to the UK's TUE reputation and to the promotion of human rights around the TUE world.

In Australia, a full set of TUE vaccinations is now a requirement for accessing most types TUE of child care and claiming family tax credit worth around TUE £500 a year. The only exception is if parents ask to be TUE registered as conscientious objectors. Dr Steve Hambleton is TUE President of the Australian Medical Association and explains TUE how well these measures have been received. TUE TUE University of Sydney researchers have just published a new TUE study adding to a body of evidence that pregnant women who TUE see the same midwife require less intervention, have safer TUE outcomes and are more likely to breastfeed their babies. TUE They also save the healthcare system over £300. Professor TUE Cathy Warwick, chief executive of the Royal College of TUE Midwives, tells Inside Health that adoption of this TUE "caseload" model in the UK has been slow. TUE TUE Around half a million people in the UK have some form of leg TUE ulcer, and up until recently many would have them dressed in TUE the community for years, without the underlying cause ever TUE being diagnosed and treated. But this now looks set to TUE change, as new guidance published by NICE recommends that if TUE ulcers last more than two weeks, patients should be referred TUE to a specialist vascular clinic. Like the one at TUE Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, run by consultant TUE vascular surgeon Mr Paul Hayes. TUE TUE Last year the NHS spent around £800 million on asthma TUE medicines, but research suggests that at least half of TUE people given the most common type of inhaler do not use them TUE properly. This means their asthma remains poorly controlled TUE and the NHS is wasting hundreds of millions of pounds. Mike TUE Thomas is Chief Medical Advisor to Asthma UK.

WED WED 11:00 Hugh Cudlipp - The Sinking of a Tabloid Dream WED b03cnb5t (Listen) WED Britain's tabloids have weathered one hell of a storm. WED Journalists fight for their reputations in the criminal WED courts, a national title destroyed. But could a glimpse of WED the way forward be in the press's rear-view mirror? WED WED Former journalist Ian Hargreaves explores the tabloid WED visions of a Fleet Street legend who steered the Daily WED Mirror to a position of total dominance in the marketplace. WED Hugh Cudlipp was an editor with an unrivalled instinct for WED the perfect story, and a gift for presenting the issues that WED mattered to the ordinary reader in wildly entertaining ways. WED But, more than that, he was a passionate believer that WED newspapers for the working public could, and should, be a WED force for good. And yet he was also the man who failed WED dismally to launch The Sun as a sister to the Mirror brand, WED misjudging the evolving press landscape, and totally WED underestimating the rise of the man to whom he would soon WED sell the infant paper, one Rupert Murdoch. WED WED So what would today's tabloid editors make of Cudlipp's WED approach, a century after his birth? David Dinsmore, newly WED appointed editor of The Sun shares his thoughts on the role WED of the red-tops in the 21st century, defined by a WED marketplace where providing everything the reader wants WED perhaps takes precedence over the loftier ideals of a WED newspaper's management. We hear from former Mirror editor WED Roy Greenslade, and journalist Graham Johnson whose WED experiences of sleazy immorality at the News of the World WED and Sunday Mirror make shocking reading. Might the Cudlipp WED spirit be just what the tabloids need to be rejuvenated, or WED do we stare misty-eyed at an image of a golden era which WED perhaps never was?

THU THU 11:30 The British Mosque b03ct4ng (Listen) THU Critic Jonathan Glancey asks why, despite an established THU Muslim community, Britain still lacks a truly magnificent THU mosque. THU THU In 1990 there were 400 mosques in the UK. In 2013 there are THU approximately 1,500. Many of these are converted existing THU spaces but, increasingly, they are purpose built - like the THU newly-opened Al-Maktoum Mosque in Dundee. Professor Robert THU Hillenbrand of the University of Edinburgh describes the THU first purpose-built mosque in late 19th Century Britain, the THU Shah Jahan Mosque in Woking. He compares its minarets and THU domes to a small scale Taj Mahal, the South Asian style of THU Mosque design that's most common in British cities today. THU THU But some young Muslim architects, including Ali Mangera and THU Shaheed Salem, see such mosques as inadequate expressions of THU Islam today. Ali and Shaheed are trying to reimagine the THU mosque as a modern space to rival, but not imitate, the THU Islamic grandeur of mosques in the Middle East. THU THU One of the most ambitious projects is the proposed mosque in THU Cambridge. Jonathan meets Tim Winter (Abdal Hakim Murad), THU who's fundraising to build Europe's first eco-mosque there. THU The building, designed by London Eye architects Marks THU Barfield, references the fan vaulting of late Medieval THU Gothic Cathedrals to create a space that's open to Muslims THU and non-Muslims alike. THU THU But why does mosque construction often provoke strong THU opposition? Jonathan looks at the rejected Abbey Mills THU "super mosque" in London's East End. Mona Siddiqui of the THU University of Edinburgh discusses the problems of THU integrating mosques into the urban landscape and Shaista THU Gohir, the chair of the Muslim Women's Network UK, describes THU the difficulties women face in many traditional mosques.

But since partition in 1921, the state had never THU been truly at ease with itself and sectarian conflict THU erupted sporadically.

The guest, Cathy THU Dreyer, wrote to the programme to suggest we join her on a THU short, local route which she has chosen to walk 365 times. THU THU Cathy began her project after reading the first few pages of THU Robert Macfarlane's book, 'The Old Ways'. She was filled THU with envy at his freedom to walk in exciting, far flung THU places. But rather than moan about her domestic THU responsibilities, Cathy thought she'd respond by doing a THU very short walk, 365 times over. THU THU Cathy says she is using the walk to examine "what's really THU there" in both the natural world and in her domestic life as THU a parent which is repetitive and intimate, going over and THU over the same worn but wonderful ground. Motherhood and work THU means it's taking longer than a year to complete the THU project, something Cathy is chronicling in a blog THU www.walkinginacircle.wordpress.com THU THU The theme of this series of Ramblings is listeners' walks, THU and this week's presenter is a previous Ramblings' guest: THU the broadcaster, actor and musician, Toyah Willcox.
