Formed as the Soviet Union collapsed around SAT him, Sasha came to the choir as conductor when it was a SAT potent, exciting and hopeful symbol of the new Russia. Here SAT was music both sacred and folk that had been arrested, SAT buried and silence by Communism, anti-semitism and the SAT hammer blow of war- it was the return of those voices long SAT stifled. SAT SAT Whilst many of Sasha's contemporaries left to begin new SAT lives abroad Sasha stayed, believing the choir offered hope SAT and progress for the best of modern Russian values. Tsaliuk SAT had once performed in the legendary Big Soviet Children's SAT Choir, beloved across all of the Soviet Union. Singing to SAT the Party highups and travelling the length and breadth of SAT the Union. Now Sasha lives to revive Jewish Russian music; SAT the music of the vanished world of his grandparents. His SAT choir has won international acclaim on its many tours and SAT draws diverse audiences at home. Frequently it performs for SAT the mega rich who find it charming and fashionable. But SAT Sasha's perfect dinner jacket hides deep worries. SAT SAT The choir perennially struggles for funding and the Russia SAT he hoped would be home to the choir is perplexingly SAT different and volatile. Every night, Sasha is up late on SAT Skype scouring the world for sponsors.

SAT SAT 23:30 India's Beats: The Hungry Generation b04ws24p (Listen) SAT Allen Ginsberg arrived in early 1960s Calcutta to discover a SAT collective of angry young poets whose anti-establishment SAT antics were uncannily reminiscent of his own past. This is SAT the story of the so-called Hungry Generation. SAT SAT Fifty years later, we follow in the footsteps of the Beat SAT Generation to the literary centre of India and go in search SAT of the Hungryalist poets. Who were they? Where did they fit SAT with a rich Bengali literary tradition that includes the SAT great Rabindranath Tagore? What eventually led to their SAT arrests, imprisonment and disbandment? SAT SAT The Hungry Generation were a special breed - born in the SAT slums, but highly educated and primed for a revolution in SAT both literature and society. Through their verse, they broke SAT strict rules of Bengali poetry as well as social taboos. In SAT their actions they rubbished 'bourgeois' Bengali polity - SAT consciously acting without manners or etiquette, burping, SAT farting and using bad language. SAT SAT They also used clever stunts to attack local officials and SAT politicians, and held readings in socially unacceptable SAT venues such as brothels, opium dens and graveyards. SAT Hungryalist poets, such as the Roychoudhary brothers, and SAT Utpal Kumar Basu, stood for the outsiders of society. SAT SAT Eventually the authorities had enough. Hungryalists were SAT rounded up and arrested on charges of obscenity and SAT conspiracy against the state. Ginsberg attempted to SAT intervene, sending letters of support. US literary journals SAT carried the story and printed Hungryalist poetry. The SAT movement floundered. SAT SAT But despite this, we discover that the Hungryalist SAT anti-establishment spirit is very much still alive in SAT modern-day Calcutta today.

SUN SUN Supporting people with MSA SUN SUN The MSA Trust is committed to supporting everyone affected SUN by this terrible disease, family members, friends, carers SUN and health professionals. SUN SUN Our specialist nurses provide advice by telephone, email and SUN they regularly visit our 33 support groups around the SUN country. SUN SUN SUN Research to find the cause and ultimately cure for MSA SUN In 2014 the MSA Trust allocated £150,000 to fund research SUN into the causes of MSA. SUN Our vision is a world free of MSA and our goal is to find SUN the cause, and one day cure. To achieve this we have SUN recently committed to funding a minimum of £150,000 on SUN research every year and hope, as funding allows, to increase SUN this still further. MSA is an extremely complex disease that SUN is difficult to diagnose and research to find the cause and SUN ultimately a cure may take many years.

Distinctives of SUN Seventh Day Adventist beliefs celebrate traditional SUN Christian teachings about the return of Jesus Christ to SUN bring justice and restoration to the whole universe. The SUN service also explores why Adventists take a weekly Sabbath SUN rest, which, they believe, help Christians live healthy and SUN Godly lives in their communities. The Croydon Seventh Day SUN Adventist Gospel Choir is directed by Ken Burton. Preacher: SUN Pastor Richard Daly. Producer: Philip Billson.

SUN SUN It may contain gaps to be filled in at the time so that SUN prayers may reflect the needs of the world, and changes may SUN also be made at the last minute for timing reasons, or to SUN reflect current events. SUN OPENING ANNO FROM CON SUN And now on BBC Radio 4 it's time for Sunday Worship which SUN comes from the Croydon Seventh-day Adventist church in South SUN London. It was recorded at their Sabbath service yesterday SUN and celebrates the joy that can be found in the hope of the SUN second Advent of Jesus Christ. The preacher is the church's SUN senior Pastor, Richard Daly, and the service is led by the SUN First Elder Johnny Saul. The Croydon Gospel Choir with SUN musical director Ken Burton at the keyboard join the SUN congregation for the first hymn now: All Hail the Power of SUN Jesus’ Name. SUN SUN HYMN: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS' NAME SUN Ellor / Perronet SUN SUN SUN SUN JOHNNY: Good morning. Only a few weeks ago in December the SUN world was observing the First Advent, the coming to earth as SUN a baby of Jesus Christ, God with us yet Lord of the SUN Universe. Christians believe he was put to death on a cross SUN to save us from sin and death, and that he rose again as a SUN sign that we too will triumph over the last enemy, death and SUN so give us hope for the future. In today's service we want SUN to celebrate the fulfilment of that hope that we find in the SUN bible's promise that Jesus will soon return - this time not SUN as a babe in Bethlehem, but as King of Kings and Lord of SUN Lords. SUN SUN The hope of a heavenly eternal life as a result of the SUN imminent second Advent is at the heart of who we are as SUN Adventists - in fact, it's in our name: Seventh-day SUN ADVENTIST. SUN SUN Marleyn Levy is one of several members of our congregation SUN with close personal links to Paris. She will begin our SUN opening prayer in French as we bring before the Lord the SUN tragic circumstances of the events in Paris this week. We SUN pray for the whole French nation, for peace in the SUN communities there, and for comfort for those bereaved. SUN SUN MARLEYN LEVY: Prayer in French…. SUN MARLEYN THEN PRAYING IN ENGLISH: SUN "Our Great Creator God, you who made this world in six days SUN and rested on the Seventh-day, we come before your divine SUN throne at this moment, through the privilege made possible SUN by the great sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. SUN SUN We thank you Lord that you are still interceding for us SUN today as our True High Priest bringing before you the many SUN situations in our world where evil flourishes and goodness SUN is trampled underfoot. SUN SUN Father, we commit our thoughts, words and songs to you - SUN Purify our hearts and minds as we worship you O God. Cleanse SUN us from our sins - and wash us from our secret sins. SUN SUN We pray not only for ourselves but for those joining us in SUN worship. We pray they will receive a special blessing from SUN you O Holy Spirit. Jesus we pray in your name – SUN SUN ALL: Amen. SUN SUN JOHNNY: In our service today, we want to share with you why SUN both looking forward to the second Advent of Jesus, and SUN observing the biblical Seventh-day Sabbath are sources of SUN such excitement and enthusiasm in our everyday lives. “Come, SUN Thou almighty King.” SUN SUN Come, Thou almighty King, SUN Tune: Giardini SUN SUN JOHNNY: SUN After our first reading from the bible there will be a short SUN comment about Sabbath Rest by Dr Chidi Ngwaba who is a SUN member of our congregation here. Our reader today is a voice SUN familiar to many, Neil Nunes. SUN NEIL: A reading of Scripture from Genesis Chapter two verses SUN one to three: SUN "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the SUN host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work SUN which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all SUN his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh SUN day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested SUN from all his work which God created and made." SUN Dr Chidi Ngwaba: SUN Here we are in 2015, the festive period is well and truly SUN over, and the only thing that remains of the Christmas & New SUN year celebrations, are the expanded waistlines which remind SUN us that perhaps we over-indulged, ever so slightly, during SUN the holidays. SUN We're back to our normal working routines. I like what SUN American journalist and Pulitzer prize winner Ellen Goodman SUN wrote about our Normal routines: SUN SUN "Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work SUN and driving through traffic in a car that you are still SUN paying SUN for, in order to get to the job you need, to pay for the SUN clothes SUN and the car, and the house that you leave vacant all day so SUN you can afford to live in it." SUN SUN Yes, our normal routines lead to our busy lives. In fact SUN "Busy" is how many people describe themselves. SUN SUN The danger is when the busy life, becomes the stressful SUN life. As a doctor I see everyday how Stressful living robs SUN people of Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Wellbeing. The SUN one thing that they need, is the one thing they find hardest SUN to do. Rest! SUN SUN In fact that is one of the reasons why God gave us the SUN Sabbath day. One day out of the seven where we can literally SUN Rest in Peace, where Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Healing SUN & Restoration can take place. Far from being a Burden, this SUN commandment from Exodus Chapter 20 and Verse 10 is a SUN Blessing: SUN ”The seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it SUN thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy SUN daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy SUN cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates” SUN Like all of God's commandments, it doesn't tie us down but SUN frees us to Live Life to the Full in Body, Mind & Spirit. SUN SUN So as we race through 2015, how about making keeping The SUN Sabbath one of your New Year's resolutions. It's a SUN prescription from The Supreme GP, Jesus Christ… SUN The Great Physician. SUN SUN SUN SUN JOHNNY: Among the 18 million Seventh-day Adventist SUN worshipers in more than 200 countries around the world - SUN there’s one scripture that is quite well known and repeated SUN often during our worship services many a Sabbath across the SUN various time zones . SUN The scripture is a promise - made by our Lord Jesus - and SUN we know Jesus never makes a promise He doesn't intend to SUN keep. And so we as a church now repeat together - John SUN Chapter 14 verses one to three: SUN SUN ALL, with Johnny: "Let not your heart be troubled: ye SUN believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are SUN many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I SUN go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a SUN place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto SUN myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." SUN CROYDON SDA GOSPEL CHOIR: COME AND GO WITH ME SUN Words: Traditional Song SUN Tune: Ken Burton SUN SUN SUN SUN JOHNNY: SUN “Let us pray - once again Dear Lord we come before your SUN presence. SUN As we get ready O Lord for the presentation of the sermon in SUN a few moments, we ask that you anoint with your Holy Spirit, SUN Pastor Richard Daly so the words He speaks will flow with SUN life-giving power from you. SUN SUN At this moment too Lord we pray for all those participating SUN in worship with us who have various needs and concerns, SUN especially anyone experiencing pain or sickness. SUN We ask that you soothe all troubled minds, reassure the SUN anxious and bring peace to the perplexed. SUN SUN Father, our world is constantly being beset by tragedies - SUN Comfort those who mourn O Holy Spirit and bring hope to SUN those who are losing hope. SUN SUN Lord we pray for our country - we ask that your hand of SUN mercy will continue to rest upon this land. Jesus we pray SUN all these things in your Holy name – SUN ALL: Amen.” SUN CHOIR RESPONSE: "Let the words of my mouth; and the SUN meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight. O Lord" SUN Psalm 19:14, Tune: Let The Words , Ken Burton SUN SUN NEIL: SUN A reading of Scripture from Revelation chapter 21 verses 2 SUN to 4 SUN And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down SUN from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her SUN husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, SUN Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell SUN with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself SUN shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe SUN away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more SUN death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be SUN any more pain: for the former things are passed away. SUN SUN SUN SUN Pastor Richard Daly SUN Reference tragic events in Paris? And the airliner? SUN As we begin the second week of a new year … questions always SUN come to the forefront of our minds during this time about SUN how things will shape out for my future? SUN SUN You may be quietly concerned or maybe even fearful about SUN what the future holds. SUN SUN Will the world be a better place - for my children? SUN - Will I be left alone in my old age? SUN - Will I have enough to make ends meet? SUN - What about my failing Health, will things deteriorate? SUN - Who will look after me when I can't care for myself? SUN SUN On a larger scale we also think about what our world will be SUN like in 2015 SUN Will extreme Terrorism change so that we see mass ethnic and SUN religious SUN cleansing? SUN - SUN Will diseases such as Ebola or heart disease or cancer SUN continue to spread at a SUN relentless pace? SUN - SUN These are genuine fears that flicker on and off in our minds SUN as we go through life each day. SUN SUN One of many surveys you can find on the internet signifying SUN the top five fears in adults today lists as follows: SUN 5) The fear of being alone SUN 4)Fear of rejection SUN 3)Fear of death SUN 2)Fear of failure SUN The top one that posed to be the most challenging was SUN 1)The fear of the unknown SUN ------ this is easily explained like this: the mind tells us SUN that in order to move SUN forward, we must know what is waiting for us there, because SUN "if I know, then I SUN can control the situation, and if I don't know, then I am SUN not in control" and we SUN like to be in control. SUN SUN However the good news about wanting to know about the future SUN -- is what is SUN expressed in Gods word, for the word of God unveils the SUN future. SUN Despite all the tragedies we see before us, the SUN uncertainties and dismay ushering SUN in fear and pessimism, the scriptures reveal that the true SUN source of such atrocities SUN lies solely with the enemy. The devil is the root of all SUN evil that we see in the world SUN today…but amidst all this, the words of hope and promise SUN come to us from-- SUN SUN John 14 verses 1to3, words our congregation spoke together SUN earlier: SUN “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God believe SUN also in me. In my father’s SUN house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told SUN you. I go to prepare SUN a place for you and if I go to prepare a place for you I SUN will come again and receive SUN you into myself that where I am there you will be also.” SUN SUN One of Christ's last Promises was that he would return again SUN to make all things SUN new. SUN SUN In the midst of all the chaos and distortion that we see in SUN our world In a time when people’s hearts are failing them SUN for fear In a time of Economic and political uncertainty SUN there is a true word of hope SUN SUN Christ in all assurance and permanence says to us … I will SUN come again .." And SUN weeping and mourning will flee away" SUN SUN His last fledgling words to his watching disciples as he SUN departed earth (acts SUN 1:8--11)--was “this same Jesus that was taken up from among SUN you will in like SUN manner so return.” SUN SUN Words reminiscent of the Terminator -- christ says " I will SUN be back!" SUN SUN This same jesus will return SUN Christ's second advent is the hope of the world SUN Embedded in the Apostles Creed as taught by Christendom SUN today SUN We read that after Christ's death burial and resurrection SUN ..that SUN "He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God SUN the Father Almighty: SUN 7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick/living and SUN the dead:" SUN SUN The second advent of Christ is a universal message believed SUN by all Christian SUN churches today that is rooted in scripture:-- SUN SUN 2Ti 4:1 “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord SUN Jesus Christ, who shall SUN judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his SUN kingdom;” SUN The words 'judge the living' is not something to be fearful SUN of .. With Christ on your SUN side you have nothing to fear, for he is your Saviour, your SUN advocate, and your SUN defender. SUN SUN It is a hope that something better is coming. SUN So whether you have a fear of loneliness SUN The Words of hope from Christ says 'where I am there you SUN will be also' SUN If there is a fear of rejection-- SUN Christ's Words of hope are that -- in my Father’s house are SUN many mansions --there will SUN be no room for rejection but the invitation is open to all SUN to spend eternity with SUN him SUN If there is a Fear of death -- SUN The results are SUN So with Christ, there is no need for fear of the future for SUN Christ is already in our SUN future. SUN SUN He is the same yesterday, today and for ever SUN And his promises are sure -- SUN SUN He is the hope of the world! SUN SUN The Words of hope are that -- Christ is the resurrection and SUN the life -- SUN History's coming coming climax will not be ------ SUN Some Man made destruction SUN Not be some natural disaster SUN Neither some meteor from outer space to destroy the world SUN SUN History’s coming climax with be the return of Jesus christ SUN in all his glory. SUN Jesus Christ will have the last say about how things will SUN end SUN The Bible says when Christ comes it will be a visible SUN event---- SUN SUN Rev 1:7 Behold he comes in the clouds and every eye shall SUN see him SUN He will be Coming with all his holy Angels SUN He will be coming Power and great glory SUN Matthew 24 ----tells us “As lightening flashes from the east SUN to the west so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.” SUN SUN It will be a spectacular event SUN SUN It will be a glorious event SUN SUN An event no human eye can completely picture SUN SUN When Christ returns with majesty it will be a sight to SUN behold. SUN SUN When Christ comes not only will we not fail to see him but SUN we will not fail to hear him SUN 1 thess 4:16 says “For the Lord shall descend from heaven SUN with a shout and with the voice of SUN the archangel ------and with the trump of God. And the dead SUN in Christ shall rise first.” SUN SUN Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up to SUN meet the Lord in the air and so we shall ever be with the SUN Lord .. Therefore comfort one another with these words" SUN The apostle Paul tells us the return of Christ ought to be SUN comforting to us. SUN He will be coming to finally put an end to sin and suffering SUN and pain as we know it SUN Ushering in a world of restoration and renewal where all SUN 'things are made new' SUN The question is often asked how soon will Christ return? SUN SUN A couple of tourists were admiring the beautiful grounds of SUN a garden that belonged to a SUN Stately house. They were awed at how beautifully the gardens SUN were arranged and SUN flowers arrayed in splendour. They could not but help SUN comment to the gardener at how SUN wonderful a job he was doing and remarked. " the owner of SUN the house must be very SUN pleased with you?" SUN SUN The gardener responded "I'm sure he is when he returns" SUN "you mean the owner has not seen how well you keep his SUN gardens" ? They remarked SUN surprisingly. SUN SUN "Well," the gardener responded "he lives oversees, but he SUN pays me each month SUN faithfully for my work." SUN SUN "well you keep these gardens as though you expect him to SUN come back tomorrow," SUN replied the tourists. SUN SUN "Well not quite said the gardener, "I keep these gardens SUN beautiful becauseI I expect the SUN master of the house to come back today." SUN SUN Yes Jesus Christ is coming in all assurity and we can see SUN from the world events around SUN us and the signs being fulfilled, that Christ’s coming is SUN imminent. SUN He will come at a time when we least expect it. We ought to SUN be prepared as though SUN Christ were coming back today. SUN If there were to be one resolution that we want to keep SUN throughout this year, let it be SUN that we will purpose in our hearts that whatever life's SUN unexpectancys come our way, SUN we will continue to walk closely with our Lord. SUN And one day soon we will see him return as king of kings and SUN Lord of lords. SUN Hope of the Second Advent SUN MUSIC: SUN HOW FAR FROM HOME SUN Annie Smith SUN Tune: 'Tis Midnight Hour SUN SUN SUN SUN (FINAL SCRIPTURE) SUN NEIL: (with incidental music beneath) SUN 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but SUN we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of SUN an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and SUN the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be SUN changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, SUN and this mortal must put on immortality. Death is swallowed SUN up in victory. 55O death, where is thy sting?

SUN SUN "The notion that what some have called France's 'stark SUN secularism' - or its level of unemployment, or its history SUN of exclusion, that imposed invisibility - is in any way to SUN blame or even a root cause for this, depends on being SUN ignorant of the actual history of France."

SUN SUN Credits SUN Presenter: Adam Gopnik SUN Producer: Sheila Cook SUN SUN 08:58 Tweet of the Day b04t0nw9 (Listen) SUN Blue Rock Thrush SUN SUN Tweet of the Day is the voice of birds and our relationship SUN with them, from around the world. SUN SUN Liz Bonnin presents the blue rock thrush, perched high on a SUN Spanish castle. The blue rock thrush has a slim silhouette, SUN rather like that of a blackbird, but these largely SUN sedentary, elusive and sun-loving birds are a rare sight in SUN northern Europe. They are widespread in summer across SUN southern Europe and also occur in the Arabian Peninsula and SUN across most of south-east Asia. The male lives up to his SUN name, as in sunlight his deep indigo body feathers contrast SUN with his darker wings and tail. His mate is a more muted mid SUN brown, and barred beneath.

SUN SUN If her name automatically conjures the citrusy scents of SUN lime, basil and mandarin or spicy notes of amber and SUN lavender then you're doubtless one of the customers who SUN flock into the eponymous stores to buy the products that SUN have made her a household name. SUN SUN Aged nine, she would grind sandlewood and strain juniper at SUN the kitchen table. 17 years later fashionable London flocked SUN to her little salon in Chelsea to be massaged with oils and SUN unguents. In the 1990s the brand went international and the SUN fragrance made her fortune when she sold the business. SUN SUN If this all sounds like a fragrant little fairy tale, SUN crisply wrapped in a signature black grosgrain bow, it SUN isn't. Severely dyslexic she left school at 14. Her dad was SUN a talented painter but a chronic gambler too, and home life SUN was sometimes hand-to-mouth. Later, and at a time in her SUN life when she should have been enjoying her success and her SUN toddler son, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of SUN breast cancer. Finally fully recovered she decided to start SUN again from scratch. SUN SUN She says, 'I love sharing my story, and I'm not frightened SUN of people seeing the cracks as well as the strengths. I SUN think the things that are sad and difficult are just as SUN important.' SUN SUN Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

SUN SUN 13:30 Mindfulness: Panacea or Fad? b04xmqdd (Listen) SUN In little more than a few decades mindfulness has gone from SUN being a specialist element of Buddhist teaching to the front SUN cover of Time magazine. It's the must have app for the SUN stars, courses in it are advertised in the back of all the SUN glossies, businesses use it to reduce staff stress and boost SUN productivity. It's even prescribed on the NHS for anxiety SUN and depression. This is the story of "mindfulness" - from SUN its roots in the Buddhist practice of meditation to today's SUN multi-billion dollar, worldwide industry. Devoted followers SUN hail it as a cure-all for the ills of modern life. Or is SUN this just another health fad, destined for disparagement, SUN like homeopathy? And what do Buddhists feel about their SUN heritage being westernised, secularised and commercialised? SUN SUN Presenter: Emma Barnett. Producer: Phil Pegum. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b04wwtsy (Listen) SUN West Yorkshire SUN SUN Eric Robson hosts the horticultural panel programme from SUN West Yorkshire. Bob Flowerdew, Christine Walkden and Matthew SUN Wilson take questions from an audience of local gardeners. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon SUN Assistant Producer: Hannah Newton SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN SUN Q. Can you grow fruit trees in containers and raised beds? SUN SUN A. Yes, if they are on dwarfing stocks. Most modern Apple SUN trees would be fine and the bigger the container the less SUN watering they would need. Apricots and Peaches are SUN surprisingly easy, so long as they are well sheltered. Try SUN 'Tomcot', 'Flavourcot', 'Goldcot' Apricot varieties, and the SUN 'Bonanza' Peach variety which likes being in a pot. Cherries SUN wouldn't work so well though. Regular watering and a correct SUN feeding pattern is the secret to growing fruit trees in SUN containers. SUN SUN Q. I live next to woodland, what is the most effortless way SUN to prevent Brambles from invading my garden? SUN SUN A. Dig out the plants as soon as they appear. Get a pair of SUN Kevlar gloves so you can pull them up. Cut the roots with SUN secateurs if you can't wrench them out. If the plants do SUN take over, try making Blackberry vinegar - it's delicious. SUN You could try training some across your fence to harvest the SUN fruit. Put really thick mulch down (five or six inches) and SUN this makes it easier to pull out the saplings. SUN SUN Q. What plants would you recommend planting up against the SUN red brick of Leeds' terraced housing? SUN SUN A. Bob says avoid climbers because they can take over and SUN are hard to keep under control. Try instead, Cotoneaster SUN horizontalis or Pyracantha. Bunny disagrees with Bob and SUN recommends a rambling Rose called 'Lady of the Lake' and an SUN evergreen climbing Hydrangea, Hydrangea Seemannii. Grape SUN vines would also work. Matthew recommends Itea Ilicifolia SUN and Camsis radicans. SUN SUN Q. How do you propagate Rosemary from an old plant? SUN SUN A. Get the plant to put on new growth by giving it lots of SUN water, feed it in the spring, cut it back a little and try SUN to get more light on it. Take cuttings from the new growth. SUN Use the layering technique - take a sprig through the hole SUN of a plant pot, then fill with compost and this should take. SUN The original plant should live for thirty of forty years if SUN you cut it back every year to encourage fresh growth. SUN SUN Q. What herbs or vegetables would the panel recommend SUN growing in a hanging basket? SUN SUN A. Mint would take well as would Marjoram. Avoid Tarragon, SUN Parsley and Chervil as these tend to grow vertically. If you SUN put two hanging baskets back to back you could grow Thyme in SUN a kind of ball. SUN SUN Q. I'm looking for low growing plants that would thrive in a SUN very shady garden. What could you recommend? SUN SUN A. Cyclamen, Lily of the Valley, Alchemilla Mollis, Pear SUN Trees, Arbutus Unedo (Strawberry Tree), Ferns (Dryopteris SUN Wallichiana, Erythrosora, Athyrium Niponicum), white Roses, SUN white Foxgloves, Sweet Rocket, Japanese Anemones, Hydrangea SUN Paniculata Unique and Daphnes. Keep it simple in a SUN north-facing Garden with topiary pieces like Ilex Crenata SUN (Japanese Holly) and Ferns such as Dryopteris wallichiana, SUN Dryopteris erythrosora, Athrium japonicum (Japanese Painted SUN Fern) and our own native version of Deschamsia Caespitosa SUN 'Goldtau'. SUN SUN Q. Two years ago I bought a Japanese Cherry Tree, Prunus SUN Nipponica Brilliant and it flowers well each spring but then SUN the new growth dies back - why is this happening? SUN SUN A. This could be blossom end wilt which is passed by SUN insects. The only thing you can do if this is the case is SUN trim off the dead matter. This could also be happening SUN because the plant is pot bound. Go and give it a good tug, SUN if it comes out the ground then plant it again, properly! SUN SUN Q. I'm struggling to grow Borage from seed. Any tips on how SUN I can improve my chances of success? SUN SUN A. Maybe the moisture levels are wrong. Buy a couple of SUN plants and let it self-seed. Or, try getting seed from SUN somewhere else - you might be sowing bad seed. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b04xmqrg (Listen) SUN Fi Glover presents three excerpts from a conversation SUN between sisters about their childhood in Sedbergh and the SUN difficulties they've both overcome in their lives since, in SUN the Omnibus edition of the series that proves it's SUN surprising what you hear when you listen. SUN SUN The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a SUN snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the SUN UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to SUN them about a subject they've never discussed intimately SUN before. 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.

MON MON Liz Bonnin presents an Antarctic specialist, the delicate MON looking snow petrel. On a wind blasted Antarctic iceberg, MON small white hummocks sprout beaks to bicker and flirt with MON each other. These are snow petrels, one of the hardiest bird MON species in the world. Few bird species breed in the MON Antarctic and fewer still are so intimately bound to the MON landscape of snow and ice. But the near pure white snow MON petrel makes its home in places where temperatures can MON plummet to -40 Celsius and below. Returning to their MON breeding areas from October, the nest is a skimpy affair MON nothing more than a pebble-lined scrape in a hollow or rocky MON crevice where the parents rear their single chick on a diet MON of waxy stomach oil and carrion. But for a bird of such MON purity the snow petrel has a ghoulish diet, foraging at MON whale and seal carcasses along the shore. Although it breeds MON on islands such as South Georgia which are north of the MON summer pack ice, the snow petrel's true home is among snow MON and ice of its Antarctic home.

In 2015, he awoke MON to discover that his idiot servant, the angel Smallbone, had MON accidentally handed out God's plans for the next millennium MON when he was only meant to hand out plans for the next MON century. A thousand years of leisurely human progression has MON been crammed into the last 130. No wonder we're all so MON stressed. We weren't even meant to have pocket calculators MON until 2550. MON MON Not only that, but God's blueprints should have run out in MON the mid-eighties - but we kept going. Humans are now MON inventing things God never even dreamed of - mobile phones, MON wireless internet and Made in Chelsea. MON MON Smallbone is cast down to Earth in human form by God, tasked MON with the dauntingly vague mission of 'reversing the last MON thirteen decades of human progression'.

MON MON 13:45 The Diaries of Brett Westwood b04xnczz (Listen) MON Farmland MON MON 1. Farmland. When Brett Westwood began a wildlife diary at MON the age of 15, little did he think that he'd still be MON writing notes, nearly 40 years later about the same local MON patch in North Worcestershire. MON From those early days, when travel was by bicycle, Brett's MON wildlife diaries have developed into a record which is MON anything but parochial. They mirror the often undreamt of MON changes which have taken place across the UK over the last MON 40 years; Cuckoo and Water Vole reveal both have disappeared MON from Brett's local patch, whilst ravens, buzzards and otters MON have moved in. MON In this series Brett returns, diaries in hand, to different MON 5 different habitats in his local patch and compares notes MON from the past with the landscape and wildlife of today. MON There are genuine shocks and revelations. MON In the first programme Brett visits an area of arable and MON pasture land where corn buntings sang their crackly songs, MON grey partridges creaked in spring dusks and the pee-wit MON cries of lapwing were regular sounds. But intensive farming MON in this area has had a huge effect on how the land is MON managed; resulting in the loss of hedges, use of pesticides, MON loss of winter stubble; all these changes have impacted on MON the insects, shelter and nesting sites for wildlife. This is MON a scene which has been repeated across the UK. However, the MON old hedge banks are still home to rare bumblebees which feed MON on the flowers and a very scarce and spectacular black bee MON with smoky wings has turned up in the last two years, one of MON a handful of sites for it in the UK. MON The series underlines the importance of keeping a diary like MON Brett's not just for personal notes but as a valuable MON document of change which is measurable from decade to MON decade.

The MON pretension was laughed at by the art establishment, but MON appreciated by the millions of amateur artists who loved MON them. The anodyne subject matter of seascapes, landscapes, MON clowns and kittens, were all given a flat treatment with a MON simple palette and in the process created an instantly MON recognisable aesthetic. This was plundered for ironic effect MON by Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst who saw in Painting By MON Number a way to critique the relationship between art and MON taste, and art and mechanical reproduction. Louisa speaks to MON Dan Robbins in America who did more than anybody else to MON create the PBN template, as well as collectors, museum MON curators, and artists inspired by the complex MON inter-relationships between it, and Pop and Conceptual Art. MON To some eyes PBN represented all that was crass about MON post-war American Culture, a pandering to the lowest common MON denominator, mechanistic, and devoid of artistic merit, to MON others it empowered generations of ordinary people to pick MON up a brush and dare to paint. In the process teaching them MON to look and opening the door onto an artistic world they MON would otherwise have been denied access to. Painting by MON Number might have had its heyday, but even in this digital MON age the attraction of a gentler pastime that doesn't require MON batteries continues to appeal to a new generation of MON adherents. Louisa Buck didn't get a PBN kit for Christmas, MON because her parents thought it wasn't the done thing, now MON forty years later she sets out to lay that ghost to rest, MON and prove that PBN is anything but child's play.

MON When this programme was recorded, the operation to detain MON the suspects is continuing. The initial murders were carried MON out in the name of Allah in retaliation for the publication MON of cartoons deemed to be lampooning the prophet Mohammed. MON How do you describe people who carry out such atrocities?

MON The first rains of the winter signal the start of gathering MON the olives on which so many Palestinian farmers depend. MON MON The BBC's Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, has been MON travelling during the harvest through the West Bank, MON occupied by Israel since 1967, and wanted by the MON Palestinians for a state. He spoke to Palestinian farmers, MON Jewish settlers, oil exporters, and Israeli soldiers, and MON found that the harvest is about a lot more than olives, or MON oil, or the soap they make from it. MON MON In a land where everything is politicised, so is the olive MON harvest. It's the politics of the struggle for land between MON the Palestinians and the Israelis who want it, and in that MON struggle the olive tree has become a potent symbol. And the MON olive harvest has at times become a serious flashpoint. MON MON 'Olive Wars' shows how every year the harvest is at the MON heart of the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis for MON control of the land. MON MON Jeremy Bowen, who has been reporting on the MON Israeli-Palestinian conflict since 1991, finds that the MON status quo in the West Bank guarantees more bloodshed.

MON These comics and cartoons are read and watched by young and MON old, men and women, geeks and office workers. Their fans MON stretch around the world and their cultural appeal has been MON used by the government to market 'Cool Japan'. MON MON Manga and anime can be about almost anything, and some can MON be confronting - especially those featuring young children MON in sexually explicit scenarios. The UK, Canada and Australia MON have all banned these sorts of virtual images, placing them MON in the same legal category as real images of child abuse. MON MON Last year, Japan became the last OECD country to outlaw the MON possession of real child abuse images, but they decided not MON to ban manga and anime. To many outsiders and some Japanese, MON this seems baffling - another example of 'weird Japan', and MON a sign the country still has a long way to go to taking MON child protection seriously. MON MON James Fletcher travels to Tokyo to find out why the Japanese MON decided not to ban. Is this manga just fodder for MON paedophiles, and is Japan dragging its feet on protecting MON children?

Full of colourful MON fish, patrolled by sharks and visited by a host of exotic MON creatures from manta rays to turtles, they bring MON breath-taking colour to our seas. But what is their future? MON As our climate warms, so too do the oceans and corals are MON highly sensitive to changes in temperature. The increasing MON level of CO2 in our atmosphere means more is dissolved in MON seawater, making our oceans ever more acidic and hindering MON their ability to build their structures. Mass coral MON bleaching, when large areas of corals die and turn white, MON was unknown before the 1980s, now they are increasingly MON common in many areas of the ocean. The lack of build-up of MON new coral due to acidification is now measurable and many MON scientists are wondering how long coral reefs will survive. MON Monty Dom explores the future of coral in our stressed MON oceans and explores what can be done. MON MON Jamie Craggs MON MON Jamie Craggs is the Aquarium Curator at the MON Horniman Museum & Gardens MON London, UK, overseeing the collection which contains around MON 2,500 live specimens representing 200 different species. He MON is the founder of MON Horniman Project Coral MON a pioneering multi-year coral sexual reproductive research MON project which aims at understanding the impact that climate MON change is having on the resilience of corals and their MON ability to reproduce. MON Horniman Project Coral utilises the latest microprocessor MON technologies, to precisely replicate environmental cues MON responsible to trigger coral reproduction within the coral MON research facility at the museum. These include seasonal MON temperature, sunlight and lunar cycles. In 2013, this MON resulted in the first predictable broadcast coral spawning, MON in a completely closed system, in the world. MON In collaboration with scientific and corporate partners a MON number of experiments are being conducted that focus on MON specific areas of coral reproduction and are giving a deeper MON understanding of the impacts of climate change on coral MON reefs.

MON MON Twitter: MON @aquariumcurator MON MON Dr Elvira Poloczanska MON MON Dr Elvira Poloczanska's focus is on the development of tools MON to assess vulnerability of species, habitats and regions to MON climate change, the direct and indirect mechanisms through MON which climate change impacts manifest on our marine MON biodiversity, and communication of impacts science. MON MON She joined MON CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research MON in 2005 and before that held research positions with the MON Scottish Association of Marine Science MON and the Marine Biological Association of the UK. MON MON Her original research focus was on modelling the role of MON climate and biotic interactions such as competition and MON predation in mediating climate change impacts on populations MON and communities.

MON MON Dr George Roff MON MON Dr George Roff has spent most of the past decade both MON studying and living in Australia and travelling around the MON world. His PhD research focused on reconstructing the MON historical ecology of the Great Barrier Reef and he is MON currently he is a post-doctoral researcher at the MON Marine Spatial Ecology Lab, University of Queensland MON MON He is broadly interested in processes of resilience, MON disturbance and recovery in Indo-Pacific and Caribbean coral MON reef ecosystems. His research to date has been largely based MON in the Indo-Pacific (Great Barrier Reef & Palau) and the MON Caribbean (Belize & Bahamas), looking at processes of MON disturbance (coral bleaching, coral disease, cyclones, MON corallivory) and the recovery of coral assemblages (coral MON recruitment) at varying spatial scales.

He has MON depended for years on his loyal and longsuffering secretary MON Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom's chance MON encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lonely young woman MON haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle - MON it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer's MON stranglehold that afternoon and now she walks the streets in MON terror of him finding her again. MON MON Curtain Call is a poignant comedy of manners, and a tragedy MON of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho's MON demi-monde to the grease paint and ghost-lights of MON theatreland, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, MON street corners where thuggish Blackshirts linger and tawdry MON rooming houses.

At only a few square kilometres TUE in size, the island of Midway is roughly half way between TUE North America and Japan. Once it was at the heart of the TUE Battle of Midway during World War Two, but today it forms TUE part of a Wildlife Refuge run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife TUE Service and is home to white laysan albatross and the darker TUE Black footed Albatross. Around 25,000 pairs of Black-foots TUE breed here.

But TUE careful management of both species of albatrosses near the TUE airstrip has reduced the number of casualties to a minimum.

When Brett Westwood began a wildlife diary at the TUE age of 15, little did he think that he'd still be writing TUE notes, nearly 40 years later about the same local patch in TUE North Worcestershire. TUE In this series Brett returns, diaries in hand, to different TUE areas of his local patch and compares notes from the past TUE with the landscape and wildlife of today. There are genuine TUE shocks and revelations. TUE In this programme, Brett visits the valley. Since Brett TUE started visiting his local patch, the landscape here has TUE been changed more radically than any other area in the TUE patch, not as a result of management, but of nature taking TUE its course. The valley is a sandstone dip between two horse TUE pastures and its steep sides have deterred any cropping or TUE grazing. As a teenager, this is where Brett soaked in the TUE scents of basil and thyme which carpeted the banks. Young TUE hawthorn saplings attracted whinchats and tree pipits. TUE Turtle doves nested here in summer. Knowing that if the TUE hawthorns became too vigorous they would shade out the TUE ground cover and become too dense for the whinchats, Brett TUE did a little judicial pruning from time to time - but it was TUE a battle he lost. Today the hawthorn cover is complete and TUE many rare flowers have been shaded out. Ash and birch trees TUE have grown up and the whinchats, tree pipits and cuckoos TUE have gone. Instead fieldfares and redwings roost in the TUE thorns in winter and in summer chiffchaffs and blackcaps are TUE commoner than ever. Ravens and Buzzards are often heard TUE overhead. And on one winter's eve he had an unforgettable TUE close-encounter with a sparrowhawk. TUE The series underlines the importance of keeping a diary as a TUE valuable document of change which is measurable from decade TUE to decade.

WED WED Liz Bonnin presents the adelie penguin on a windswept WED Antarctic shore. A huddle of braying shapes on a windswept WED shore in Antarctica reveals itself to be a rookery of Adelie WED Penguins. These medium sized penguins whose white eye-ring WED gives them an expression of permanent astonishment were WED discovered in 1840 and named after the land which French WED explorer Jules Dumont d'-Urville named in honour of his wife WED Adele. They make a rudimentary nest of pebbles (sometimes WED pinched from a neighbour) from which their eggs hatch on WED ice-free shores in December, Antarctica's warmest month, WED when temperatures reach a sizzling minus two degrees. In WED March the adult penguins follow the growing pack ice north WED as it forms, feeding at its edge on a rich diet of krill, WED small fish and crustaceans. But as climate change raises WED ocean temperatures, the ice edge forms further south nearer WED to some of the breeding colonies, reducing the distance WED penguins have to walk to and from open water. But, if ice WED fails to form in the north of the penguin's range it can WED affect their breeding success, and at one research station WED breeding numbers have dropped by nearly two thirds.

WED WED 13:45 The Diaries of Brett Westwood b04xrj95 (Listen) WED Sewage WED WED 3. Sewage. When Brett Westwood began a wildlife diary at the WED age of 15, little did he think that he'd still be writing WED notes, nearly 40 years later about the same local patch in WED North Worcestershire. WED In this series Brett returns, diaries in hand, to different WED areas of his local patch and compares notes from the past WED with the landscape and wildlife of today. There are genuine WED shocks and revelations. WED In this programme, Brett visits a farm at Whittington. When WED he was a teenager, sewage was pumped out onto an area of WED about a square mile where cattle were grazed. In icy winters WED the fields did not freeze owing to the warmth provided by WED the sewage and the life breeding in it! Unusual for the West WED Midlands in winter, a regular flock of up to 200 curlews WED were joined by a pink-footed goose, pintails, wigeon, and in WED winter 1976 two spotted redshanks. These waders are very WED rare inland in winter and Brett, as a novice bird watcher at WED the time wasn't believed by the traditional and older WED birders. However once the record was accepted by the West WED Midlands Bird Club, the record spurred Brett on and his WED passion for wildlife and bird watching continues to this WED day. The old methods of spreading sewage stopped in the WED 1980s and the curlew flocks have gone but Brett still visits WED the area, and in recent years has been rewarded with WED sightings of barn owls and buzzards. WED WED The series underlines the importance of keeping a diary like WED Brett's not just for personal notes but as a valuable WED document of change which is measurable from decade to WED decade.

WED WED Under French law, a person who endangers the life or health WED of another by failing to assist in some way faces WED imprisonment of up to five years or a fine of 75,000 euros. WED In the UK there would be no liability whatsoever. We can WED walk past a drowning baby with legal impunity. WED WED Our common law system in the UK does not generally impose WED liability for pure omissions - failures to act. There is no WED general duty of care owed by one person to prevent harm WED occurring to another. However, a duty of care can arise, for WED example, once someone attempts to rescue a drowning child if WED they inadvertently make things worse. WED WED So is British law both failing to make people behave as good WED Samaritans and punishing them if they do? What needs to WED change? WED WED The panel includes former law lord, Lord Hoffmann, and WED distinguished academic lawyer Andrew Ashworth who have WED polarised views on the issue. Andrew Ashworth calls for the WED introduction of a general good Samaritan law, arguing that WED our current law is untidy and unprincipled. Lord Hoffmann WED suggests such a law would be unnecessary and inappropriate. WED WED With leading barrister Peter Cooke and French law expert WED Catherine Elliott, the panel examines the arguments for and WED against a law imposing a duty of rescue.

WED WED With growing mainstream discussion prompted by high-profile WED transgender people like boxing promoter Frank Maloney, WED WikiLeaks source Chelsea Manning and model Andrej Pejic, WED gender dysphoria is fast becoming more visible. Indeed there WED has been a steady rise in the numbers of referrals to Gender WED Identity Clinics across the country and patient numbers at WED Charing Cross have doubled in the last five years. WED WED This series follows a group of transgender patients pursuing WED treatment for gender dysphoria in order to 'become WED themselves'. In the first programme we meet Freddie, WED Mitchell and Blade, who were raised female and are seeking WED treatment as trans men. The second programme centres on WED trans women Bethany, Emma and Tanya, who are making the WED opposite journey. WED WED We also hear from the psychiatrists, endocrinologists and WED surgeons as they meet and assess the patients on a WED day-to-day basis.

Nina Land, a West End actress, faces a dilemma. WED She's not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, WED and certainly not with a married man - the celebrated WED portrait artist, Stephen Wyley - but once it becomes WED apparent that she may have seen the face of the man dubbed WED 'the Tie-Pin Killer' she realises that another woman's life WED could be at stake. WED WED Jimmy Erskine is the raffish doyen of theatre critics who WED fears that his star is fading. Age and drink are catching up WED with him and, in his late-night escapades with young men, he WED walks a tightrope that may snap at any moment. He has WED depended for years on his loyal and longsuffering secretary WED Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom's chance WED encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lonely young woman WED haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle - WED it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer's WED stranglehold that afternoon and now she walks the streets in WED terror of him finding her again. WED WED Curtain Call is a poignant comedy of manners, and a tragedy WED of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho's WED demi-monde to the grease paint and ghost-lights of WED theatreland, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, WED street corners where thuggish Blackshirts linger and tawdry WED rooming houses. WED WED Episode 3: WED We meet a renowned theatre critic, and learn more of the WED life of failed shopgirl, Madeleine Farewell.

THU The diaries mirror the often undreamt of changes which have THU taken place across the UK over the last 40 years. In this THU series Brett returns, diaries in hand, to different areas of THU his local patch and compares notes from the past with the THU landscape and wildlife of today. There are genuine shocks THU and revelations. THU Fairy Glen is a small natural woodland in Brett's patch THU carpeted with bluebells in spring. This was once oak has THU become a sycamore wood. However it's now a great place to THU spot warblers; chaffinches and bramblings feeding on aphids THU in spring, and during his visit Brett watches a pair of THU Nuthatches bringing back food for their young to their nest THU hole in the trunk of a tree. A second area of woodland which THU Brett visits - is a relatively new small plantation - but THU the species have been well chosen and Brett scans the skies THU above for buzzards. These he finds flying high above a third THU area of woodland in his local patch which was bought by the THU Woodland Trust and is much frequented by walkers and dogs. THU But for Brett - the attraction is the buzzards soaring over THU the canopy, which have returned and bred in the area since THU the 1990s. There are ravens too - another bird which Brett THU would never have dreamed of seeing when he was a teenager on THU his local patch.

THU THU Shortly before Christmas the Intelligence Committee of the THU United States Senate published an extraordinary and THU explosive document, universally referred to as the Torture THU Report, accusing the CIA of brutality in its treatment of THU prisoners detained in what George W. Bush had called the THU "War on Terror". THU THU The report debunks the CIA's claims that its "enhanced THU interrogation techniques" produced important intelligence. THU These techniques include practices such as waterboarding, THU sleep deprivation, and sexual humiliation. The simple THU message for many who've read the report: torture doesn't THU work. THU THU What was published represents a fraction of the Senate's THU findings after an investigation lasting more than five THU years. The 600 or so pages now available online are merely a THU summary of the full 6,700 page report that remains THU classified. And much of the 600 pages is illegible, because THU of redactions in the form of thick, black lines, some of THU which were demanded by Britain's intelligence services. THU THU In The Report this week Simon Cox asks to what extent THU Britain's intelligence services were complicit in the THU mistreatment of prisoners; and why Britain has been dragging THU its heels in carrying out its own investigation into THU allegations of mistreatment. THU THU He traces the history of British investigations: a THU discredited investigation by the Intelligence and Security THU Committee of Parliament (ISC) in 2007 on extraordinary THU rendition from which it was later discovered that the THU intelligence services withheld information; the promise by THU David Cameron of a judge-led inquiry in 2010, which was THU subsequently scrapped; and handing back of the torture THU enquiry to the ISC, which Mr Cameron himself had said was THU not the appropriate body to carry out this investigation. THU THU Simon will also look what appears to be a consistent tactic THU of successive British governments to avoid embarrassing THU details coming to light by claiming that publication would THU damage relations with the United States, or damage national THU security. It's a claim rejected by human rights agencies who THU defend alleged victims of torture, as well as by senior THU politicians. "National security often just means national THU embarrassment," says one. THU THU Contributors to the programme include a man who claims he THU was illegally rendered with British complicity; a member of THU the judge-led inquiry into torture that was subsequently THU scrapped; and members of the ISC, now charged with carrying THU out an investigation. THU The alleged abuse is historical. But it acquired THU contemporary resonance last week when it was reported that THU one of the alleged perpetrators of the Paris murders had THU been radicalised by the images of detainees being tortured THU by US operatives at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

Nina Land, a West End actress, faces a dilemma. THU She's not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, THU and certainly not with a married man - the celebrated THU portrait artist, Stephen Wyley - but once it becomes THU apparent that she may have seen the face of the man dubbed THU 'the Tie-Pin Killer' she realises that another woman's life THU could be at stake. THU THU Jimmy Erskine is the raffish doyen of theatre critics who THU fears that his star is fading. Age and drink are catching up THU with him and, in his late-night escapades with young men, he THU walks a tightrope that may snap at any moment. He has THU depended for years on his loyal and longsuffering secretary THU Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom's chance THU encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lonely young woman THU haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle - THU it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer's THU stranglehold that afternoon and now she walks the streets in THU terror of him finding her again. THU THU Curtain Call is a poignant comedy of manners, and a tragedy THU of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho's THU demi-monde to the grease paint and ghost-lights of THU theatreland, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, THU street corners where thuggish Blackshirts linger and tawdry THU rooming houses.

FRI FRI Liz Bonnin presents the raucous calling sulphur-crested FRI cockatoo from Australia. It is with somewhat heavy irony FRI that with its loud, jarring calls, the sulphur-crested FRI cockatoo is also known as the "Australian Nightingale". FRI These large white parrots with their formidable curved beaks FRI and long yellow crests which they fan out when excited are FRI familiar aviary birds. One of the reasons that they're FRI popular as cage birds is that they can mimic the human voice FRI and can live to a great age. A bird known as Cocky Bennett FRI from Sydney lived until he was a hundred years old, although FRI by the time he died in the early 1900s he was completely FRI bald, and was then stuffed for posterity. In its native FRI forests of Australia and New Guinea, those far-carrying FRI calls are perfect for keeping cockatoo flocks together. FRI They're highly intelligent birds and when they feed, at FRI least one will act as a sentinel ready to sound the alarm in FRI case of danger. So well-known is this behaviour that in FRI Australia, someone asked to keep a lookout during illegal FRI gambling sessions is sometimes known as a "cockatoo" or FRI "cocky".

Nina Land, a West End actress, faces a dilemma. FRI She's not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, FRI and certainly not with a married man - the celebrated FRI portrait artist, Stephen Wyley - but once it becomes FRI apparent that she may have seen the face of the man dubbed FRI 'the Tie-Pin Killer' she realises that another woman's life FRI could be at stake. FRI FRI Jimmy Erskine is the raffish doyen of theatre critics who FRI fears that his star is fading. Age and drink are catching up FRI with him and, in his late-night escapades with young men, he FRI walks a tightrope that may snap at any moment. He has FRI depended for years on his loyal and longsuffering secretary FRI Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom's chance FRI encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lonely young woman FRI haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle - FRI it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer's FRI stranglehold that afternoon and now she walks the streets in FRI terror of him finding her again. FRI FRI Curtain Call is a poignant comedy of manners, and a tragedy FRI of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho's FRI demi-monde to the grease paint and ghost-lights of FRI theatreland, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, FRI street corners where thuggish Blackshirts linger and tawdry FRI rooming houses.
