SAT SAT A dawn of two suns - the world's first atomic bomb explosion SAT tested in the New Mexico desert on July 16 1945 - SAT inaugurated the atomic age, forever defining the global SAT struggle for supremacy. At the time, the so called 'Father SAT of the atomic bomb', Robert Oppenheimer, famously quoted SAT Hindu scriptures with the apocalyptic words "Now, I am SAT become Death, the destroyer of worlds". SAT SAT This programme examines the little known story of British SAT involvement in the top secret Manhattan Project to make an SAT atomic bomb and how Britain, once the lead in nuclear SAT weapons, was eventually marginalised. SAT SAT It is a story of a British/US rivalry which ended in Britain SAT being squeezed out of the project. But it is also the story SAT of Churchill's failure to secure a position on the global SAT high table of nuclear powers, a failure many regard as a SAT betrayal. SAT SAT While Britain may have regretted the loss of their atomic SAT leadership, this programme also examines the views that one SAT of the reasons for Britain's isolation - American fears SAT about the security risk of British participation - was well SAT justified. After all Klaus Fuchs, a member of the British SAT delegation, was arguably the most significant of the wartime SAT atomic spies. SAT SAT But, speaking to the widow of an until recently unknown SAT American atomic spy, the programme also uncovers evidence SAT that the so-called 'best kept secret', the Manhattan SAT Project, was far more deeply penetrated than we have SAT previously realised. SAT SAT Produced by Kati Whitaker SAT A Kati Whitaker production for BBC Radio 4. SAT SAT 21:00 The Stuarts b060yk4y (Listen) SAT Queen Anne: Myself Alone SAT SAT Mike Walker's epic chronicle of Queen Anne, the last Stuart SAT monarch. Everything changed when William of Orange at the SAT head of the Dutch army landed in England and James II fled SAT to France. England is now on the path towards constitutional SAT monarchy and in this new climate, Queen Anne must abandon SAT long-held and cherished allegiances if she is to command the SAT loyalty of rebellious Whigs and Tories and rule with SAT authority.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b06101bd (Listen) SAT Moral Luck and the Budget SAT SAT "Do you feel lucky?" Well do you? Perhaps you should ask SAT yourself that question on Wednesday as the Chancellor SAT delivers his budget because moral luck - good or bad and SAT what the state should or shouldn't do about that luck is at SAT the heart of it all. Take two policies - the first, the SAT decision to scrap inheritance tax on family homes worth up SAT to £1m. Many people are now sitting on a small fortune SAT that's been earned because they got lucky, bought a house at SAT the right time in the right place and now they're going to SAT be able to pass on that good fortune to their descendants. SAT The second is the proposal to repeal the legally binding SAT targets on child poverty. Whatever the arguments about the SAT accuracy of such measurements, will it make it much harder SAT for those who are unlucky enough to be born to poor parents SAT to escape their poverty? What role should the Fates have in SAT determining our ability to lead a good life and what, if SAT anything should be the role of the state in rebalancing the SAT scales? There are many ways to define social justice - SAT creating a fair and decent society by rewarding human SAT endeavour, self-reliance and people who are morally SAT responsible and do "the right thing", get a job, set up SAT home, look after their family. All compelling, but when SAT inequality is created by luck should the state put a finger SAT in the scales? Isn't good and bad luck just part of life and SAT the idea that governments can do anything about it nonsense? SAT Shouldn't we just stand back and let fate take its course SAT because any attempt by the state to do anything about it SAT will create new injustices in the process. Or in the SAT interests of social solidarity should the state load the SAT dice a little in favour of those who are less fortunate due SAT to no fault of their own? SAT SAT 23:00 Counterpoint b060zbjr (Listen) SAT Series 29, Heat 5, 2015 SAT SAT (5/13) SAT What was the name of Louis Armstrong's pianist wife who SAT encouraged him to start his own band in the 1920s? And which SAT musical instrument takes its name from the Greek for 'having SAT a pleasant sound'? SAT SAT These and many other questions face the competitors in SAT today's fifth heat of Counterpoint, with Paul Gambaccini. SAT The questions and extracts cover every era of the classical SAT repertoire as well as film music, stage musicals, jazz, rock SAT and pop. To win a place in the semi-finals the contestants SAT will have to demonstrate the breadth of their knowledge of SAT music in general, as well as tackling specialist questions SAT on a surprise musical topic.

SAT SAT 23:30 The King's Muse b060yk52 (Listen) SAT In The King's Muse, Peggy Reynolds explores the world of the SAT Tudor court, through the poetry of Henry VIII. Held at the SAT British Library is a songbook that includes poetry and SAT compositions by this Tudor monarch. These were not written SAT by an aged despot with a fondness for divorcing and SAT executing his wives, but instead by a youth who came to the SAT throne as a teenager. These poems were penned by an educated SAT young King who enjoyed games, hunting, and performing his SAT own works in front of his courtiers. Henry's early court was SAT one of the most brilliant in Europe, and a centre for SAT culture and pageantry. SAT SAT Historian David Starkey joins Peggy Reynolds to put these SAT poems into context, lifting the lid on this cultured SAT youthful King, long overshadowed by the machinations of the SAT older tyrant he was to become. Peggy's journey begins at the SAT British Library, where she is joined by musicologist SAT Professor David Fallows as they leaf through this songbook SAT compiled in the sixteenth century. Professor Raymond Siemens SAT discusses the importance of this poetry in the development SAT of Tudor literature, and delves into some of the reoccurring SAT themes including love and politics, foreshadowing the more SAT complicated monarch that would emerge.

SUN SUN 06:05 Something Understood b061pg7p (Listen) SUN Regret SUN SUN Mark Tully asks if it is right to live with regret, or SUN preferable to get over our mistakes. Can we be immobilised SUN by self-pity at one extreme, but wilfully insensitive at the SUN other? SUN SUN The programme features an interview with writer Erwin James, SUN who served 20 years in prison for murder. He accepts that he SUN will never stop regretting his crimes and seeks no SUN forgiveness, rejecting the Christian notion of grace and a SUN God who forgives sin. James does hope for some kind of SUN eventual peace though, and explains how he deals with SUN constant regret for the pain he has caused, by living the SUN best life he can. SUN SUN Mark Tully, with the help of Lady Macbeth and Edith Piaf, SUN also looks at the opposite response to actions which have SUN caused harm or distress - "What's done is done" and "Non, Je SUN Ne Regret Rien". He explores, too, the middle ground where SUN our past actions are not so terrible that they must forever SUN be regretted, but where we might also gain from SUN acknowledging our shortcomings and the effect they have had SUN on others. SUN SUN Is it ever right just to 'forget about it' and 'move on' or SUN do we owe it to the people we have hurt to acknowledge our SUN responsibility for their pain?

SUN SUN Winner of the Queen's Gold Medal for her work, her life SUN seems a perfect reflection of the inter-relatedness of The SUN Commonwealth. Born in Pakistan she was no more than a few SUN months old when the family packed up their belongings and SUN flew four thousand miles to start a new life - exchanging SUN the blistering, dusty lanes of Lahore for the blustery, SUN rain-slicked roads of Glasgow. SUN SUN Her father worked hard and, from scratch, built a big, SUN successful business and a comfortable life for his children. SUN But the immigrant fairytale came undone when his restless, SUN well-educated, westernised daughter married in secret, SUN running away to Bombay. Her parents disowned her and she SUN would never see her mother again. SUN SUN Her work centres on themes of freedom, cultural intolerance, SUN everyday life and gender politics.

While SUN tradition once dictated the way things were done, a new SUN generation of wine drinkers are shaking things up - in the SUN way it's sold, consumed and written about - with the SUN intention of shaking off the fustiness and perceived SUN snobbery. Not only is there a new attitude about what's SUN deemed good but there's an openness to alternative SUN production methods and artisanal producers. Sheila Dillon SUN asks if the underground movement we saw towards craft beers SUN and ciders and specialist coffees is now being witnessed in SUN the world of wine. SUN SUN Dan Keeling of Noble Rot magazine argues this movement SUN echoes indie labels in the music scene in which he started SUN before immersing himself in wine writing. Award-winning SUN sommelier Charlotte Sager-Wilde explains how trying to train SUN up on wines while earning a small salary working in SUN hospitality led her and her husband to a new model of wine SUN bar - selling good wines by the glass rather than the bottle SUN and training staff to share ideas with the curious rather SUN than look down their noses. Meanwhile Peter Honegger has SUN started his own wine store - while still a student - selling SUN Austrian wines from niche producers who weren't being SUN stocked elsewhere. Meanwhile we hear about the new tech SUN which is enabling wine enthusiasts to gen up on wines and SUN form their own opinions and ask is branding is putting style SUN over substance. SUN SUN Sheila Dillon asks if the slow moving world of wine is SUN seeing its own revolution and if these new ideas can open SUN the world of wine to more enthusiasts.

SUN SUN 13:30 Children of the Olympic Bid b061ph5k (Listen) SUN Series 9, Episode 2 SUN SUN In this programme Peter White meets up with Jessica Manning, SUN a promising heptathalete picked for the Singapore trip SUN because of her achievements on the track. She helped London SUN unveil plans for an Olympics which placed youth legacy at SUN its heart. But although she helped clinch the games, she did SUN not carry on to participate herself. Her parents decided to SUN move to Canada and a reluctant Jess followed them after her SUN A Levels. Once there she struggled with the facilities and SUN coaching team and eventually decided to swap athletics for SUN greater involvement in the church. SUN SUN It was a decision which has paid off when it comes to longer SUN term happiness. It was in the church that she met Canadian SUN broadcasting student, Conner, and after weeks of late night SUN Skyping they finally started a relationships: "I knew in SUN just a few weeks that he was the one. It was so quick, but SUN we had spent so long getting to know each other before we SUN went out. And then we started talking about kids and decided SUN to get married. It all happened fast but we're really SUN happy." SUN SUN Peter also catches up with Lawrence Okoye, the rugby playing SUN schoolboy who decided he wanted to turn his hand to the SUN discuss and just two years later achieved a place in the SUN Olympic final. Sporting commitments kept him away from SUN Singapore, but in the run-up to 2012 Peter White followed SUN him on an international training camp in America. Coaches SUN there were convinced that only time stood in the way of him SUN eventually setting a new world record, but almost straight SUN after the London Games Lawrence made a surprising decision: SUN opting for a career in American football and signing with SUN the San Francisco 49ers. Not having played the game before, SUN his first two years on the team have been a steep learning SUN curve, but he's confident that his technique has improved to SUN the extent where he can make a valuable contrbution when the SUN next season begins. SUN SUN Lawrence feels that the London Olympics placed the capital SUN centre stage and has helped improve take up and SUN participation in sport: "I just wish it came back again - it SUN would be great if we could re-live it and it was definitely SUN inspirational for young kids: if they had never seen some of SUN these events they were prompted to try them and for those SUN already involved in sport this showed what was possible. SUN Hosting the Olympics has had a great impact on youth and the SUN kids from that generation will be a golden generation in the SUN future".

Matt Biggs, Bob Flowerdew and James Wong answer SUN questions from Antrim Castle Gardens. SUN SUN Matt Biggs explores the folklore of the Shamrock Garden at SUN Mount Stewart - and there's the ultimate guide to SUN maintaining a cut flower border. SUN SUN Produced by Darby Dorras. SUN Assistant Producer: Hannah Newton. SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Questions and Answers SUN Q – I’ve just bought tubers of Japanese Wonder Flower – are SUN they easy to grow and are they hardy enough to leave in the SUN ground during winter? SUN SUN James – What you’ve actually got here is frequently called SUN Marvel of Peru – *Mirabilis jalapa* – perfectly hardy in the SUN UK. Grow really well in climates with warm summers. They SUN need a long, warm season. SUN SUN Matt – sometimes known as ‘the four o’ clock plant’ because SUN they only flower for a short time every day SUN SUN Bob – Do be careful because the seeds look rather SUN attractive/unusual but they are poisonous – so keep out of SUN reach of children SUN SUN SUN Q – I have a 100m (109yard)-long Hawthorn hedge backing onto SUN farmland… the local cutting regime means that we have a neat SUN hedge all year round but never blossom or berries. What can SUN we grow through the hedge to give seasonal interest and to SUN make it more wildlife friendly? SUN SUN James – Honeysuckle SUN SUN Matt – ‘Graham Thomas’ Honeysuckle or *Clematis montana* SUN SUN Bob – Blackberries – they’d grow perfectly but they wouldn’t SUN be very neat or if you really want to irk the farmer you SUN plant a wild rose like a Kiftsgate which will spread over a SUN large area. At the base you could put ferns as well as SUN Lords and Ladies – the native *Arums*. SUN SUN SUN Q – Are there any Kiwis that the panel would recommend for SUN growing outdoors? SUN SUN James – Yes! Most kiwis - apart from *Actinidia deliciosa* SUN the hairy one you get in a supermarket - are perfectly happy SUN in [a mild] environment. Probably 20-30 varieties. I’d go SUN for species like *Actinidia arguta issai* – probably the SUN hardiest and it’s self-fertile – I counted 400 berries on SUN this. Or ‘Ken’s Red’, produces a smaller, red fruit. SUN *Kolomikta*, ‘The Painted Vine’, known as an ornamental. SUN SUN They are vigorous, jungle vines but if you spur prune them SUN (cut them back to half when they send out a 30cm (12inch) SUN branch, once every month over summer) they will work really SUN well. SUN SUN SUN Q – I’ve had a cherry tree in my back garden for 15 years SUN and the roots are coming up through the lawn. I don’t want SUN to cut it down, what can I do? SUN SUN Bob – The simplest thing to do would be buy in topsoil and SUN resurface the lawn 4inches (10cm) higher. That will solve SUN the problem for the next 10-15years. SUN SUN Matt – My inclination would be to accept them and cover the SUN area with forest bark or something like that. SUN SUN Q – I am having difficulty with our silver wedding SUN anniversary rosebush. It has grown tall and has produced SUN some lovely flowers and is about four-years old. Our garden SUN is quite windy and I’m wondering if I should prune it back SUN severely? SUN There’s very little foliage apart from at the top and I want SUN to encourage growth elsewhere. I cut it back each year but SUN it’s not working. It’s four-years-old. It’s next to a SUN Leylandii hedge. SUN SUN Bob – Unless it’s likely to be blown over I’d leave it SUN alone. Cut it back really hard in the winter – a young SUN plant like that will come back… go down to where there are SUN nice, strong, young shoots and cut it right back to there SUN and you’ll get a nice bush again. SUN SUN James – It’s in the wrong place – the Leylandii will be SUN overshadowing it and it’s in an aggressive race to the SUN light. So it will only flower at the top. Move one of SUN them. SUN SUN SUN Q – What is the best way to cool a greenhouse during the SUN warm, summer months? SUN SUN Bob – Seriously, take some the windowpanes out. SUN SUN James – if you are growing in a very hot greenhouse there SUN are two things that have been proven to have improved SUN flavour: chilli and the other is basil. SUN SUN Tomatoes have worse flavour in a hot greenhouse SUN SUN Eric – The ventilation should be equal to the square footage SUN of the floor of the greenhouse SUN SUN SUN Q – I have got a family pear tree – had it for three or four SUN years – some of it blooms some of it doesn’t – the bit that SUN doesn’t flower is growing much quicker than the flowering SUN part – it’s not producing any fruit. What can I do? SUN SUN Bob – They’re not the easiest things to grow in Northern SUN Ireland – they’d prefer Belgium or Northern France. To get SUN more flowers try not to give it too much feed. Pears don’t SUN like grass but they do like potash. You could buy another SUN one as a pollenating partner. SUN SUN SUN Q – I’ve started my tomatoes a bit early and the cold SUN weather has curled the leaves and they’ve gone a bit SUN purple. Are they going to be okay or should I start again? SUN SUN Bob – If they’re in small pots and you keep them potted up SUN and plant them later they should be fine. SUN SUN The first plants that I grow I use as a source of material – SUN I take of the side shoots and I take off the tips and I root SUN those – and those plants are stockier and flower sooner and SUN they make much better plants for putting out than the SUN earlier ones. SUN SUN Every bit of a tomato plant will root if you pop it into a SUN little pot. SUN SUN James – I agree – tomato seeds, especially F1 tomato seed, SUN can be very expensive – and this is a way to get loads more SUN out of each plant SUN SUN Or you can spray them with aspirin solution which stops them SUN getting plagued by diseases. A quarter to half an aspirin SUN tablet dissolved in a litre of water, a week or two before SUN you’re about to plant.

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.

Each week, he invites his guest to explore their MON early influences, their experiences of events and their MON impressions of people they've known. MON MON In the first episode of this series, David Owen, the former MON Foreign Secretary and SDP Leader, discusses the transition MON from his early days as the son of a Welsh doctor in Plymouth MON to his election as a Labour MP while still in his twenties, MON and his meteoric rise in politics. His appointment as MON Foreign Secretary in 1977, aged only 38, marked him out as a MON possible future Labour leader. MON MON After Labour's defeat in 1979 Owen and other leading social MON democrats became increasingly frustrated by the party's MON left-wing stance. With other senior figures he broke from MON Labour and formed the Social Democratic Party (SDP). In MON alliance with the Liberals it took 25 per cent of the vote MON in the 1983 election, but only 23 seats. MON MON After Owen succeeded Roy Jenkins as leader, he maintained MON its distinctive, radical stance. However, policy divisions MON between the SDP and the Liberals undermined the Alliance's MON credibility. It won 23 per cent of the vote at the 1987 MON election, but again failed to break through in seats. The MON tensions between Owen and his colleagues became evident. MON Owen stood aside from a merger of the SDP with the Liberals MON and soldiered on with a rump of social democrats until 1990. MON He stood down as an MP in 1992. Owen continues to speak on MON foreign affairs. He also writes on diplomacy and the MON relationship between illness and politics. MON MON Peter's other guests in the series are Nigel Lawson, the MON former Chancellor, and Clare Short, the former International MON Development Secretary. MON MON Producer: Rob Shepherd.

The parallel also passes through MON Shetland, at the very top of the British Isles. MON MON Writer Malachy Tallack travelled to some of the places that MON share this latitude, beginning in Shetland, where he has MON spent most of his life. Wrestling with notions of home and MON belonging, he hoped that the journey would help him come to MON terms with his father's untimely death.

Perhaps surprising views given their loss, but MON should we be giving this idea a lot more thought? And how MON can we stop child abuse by paedophiles when we understand MON very little about them? MON MON BBC health correspondent Matthew Hill looks at the subject MON from a scientific point of view and examines what we do know MON about paedophilia. He explores the latest scientific MON research on what causes it, whether it is a treatable MON illness and how our understanding of the condition has MON implications for the best way to manage it. MON MON He talks to leading neuroscientists about what is going in MON the brains of paedophiles and visits the NeMUP project in MON Germany; a research consortium studying the neurobiological MON mechanisms underlying paedophilia. MON MON Matthew considers whether our collective revulsion of MON paedophiles is getting in the way of preventing child sexual MON abuse. If they were less vilified, would they be more MON willing to seek help and would this prevent offences being MON committed? With exclusive access to two paedophiles, Matthew MON finds out what it is like to be seen by society as a monster MON and what support is available in the UK. MON MON And if paedophilia is a medical condition that needs our MON understanding, should we not be investing more in MON preventative treatment? The NSPCC and police service think MON so and believe we need to adopt a public health approach. MON The programme also speaks to “Don’t Offend”, a unique MON prevention project taking place in Germany.

MON MON 21:00 Natural Histories b05w9b5j (Listen) MON Burbot MON MON The burbot is the skulker under the rocks, the flabby, MON sour-faced cod of cold, fresh water. It is not loved for its MON looks, but it was once prized for its body. MON MON At one time it was common here but has now gone from UK MON shores, believed extinct in the 1960s. MON MON This is the only member of the cod family that lives in MON fresh water and for centuries it swam in the eastern part of MON England to be pursued by fishermen for its firm, white flesh MON and unbelievably rich liver oils. MON MON Barbot Hall in Rotherham and Burbolt Lane in Cambridge show MON it was once important - and so common that some records say MON it was fed to pigs. MON MON In North America it is a common angling fish; but in the MON early 20th century, the rich oils were so prized the Burbot MON Fishing Company processed half a million fish a year. MON MON It is still found in Europe and Russia. Chekhov wrote a MON comic story, The Burbot, showing how this Cinderella of fish MON could outwit even the aristocracy. MON MON Some want the burbot restored to our waterways, arguing in MON the present desire to re-wild it should be allowed to live MON here once more. After all, the burbot was so much a part of MON our culture; it was pictured in cigarette cards and cards MON found in packets of Brooke Bond tea. However, others say it MON is best to leave it as a faint memory as climate change will MON make its life unbearable. MON MON Either way, the burbot is a reminder of how quickly we MON forget what was once so common.

Looking like a cross between a wok and TUE a flying saucer, virtuoso percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie TUE explores the story of its global success. TUE TUE Sometimes referred to as a Hang Drum, the Hang is not really TUE a drum at all, but a tuned metal pan that produces a TUE mellifluous, ethereal tone with echoes of the Trinidadian TUE steel pan or Indian ghatam. Some argue that it is not even a TUE musical instrument, but more a work of art, a sound TUE sculpture. TUE TUE The Hang (meaning Hand in the Bernese Swiss German dialect) TUE was born in the Swiss city of Berne in the year 2000. Played TUE with the hands and fingers, it has become a cult instrument TUE across the globe and demand far outstrips supply. TUE Prospective owners must go in person - by invitation only - TUE to the PANArt workshop in Berne to get their Hang. TUE Applications must be made by writing a letter, not an email. TUE Second hand Hangs can fetch over $10,000 on eBay. Some Hang TUE videos have over 11 million views from a vast online TUE community of enthusiasts. TUE TUE What makes the Hang so special? What's the appeal of making TUE and playing new analogue instruments in this digital age of TUE Pro Tools and plug-ins? TUE TUE Evelyn looks for the roots of the Hang and meets up with TUE steel pan master Sterling Betancourt MBE.

WED WED 11:00 Another Time, Another Place b05wq2bw (Listen) WED For ten years, Crosby Beach near Liverpool has had some WED strange visitors - 100 figures by Angel of the North creator WED Antony Gormley. Based on casts from moulds of the artist's WED body, the sculptures are made out of cast iron and stand WED staring at the horizon along three kilometres of shore, WED stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. WED WED The installation, called Another Place, was never meant to WED be permanent and there was opposition to it - from WED conservationists, yachtsmen and those who considered the WED naked form to be pornographic. But the locals came to love WED the figure and fought to keep them and, nearly a decade on, WED the sculptures are still there. WED WED Unusually for a piece of art, Another Place is a favourite WED on the travel site Trip Advisor, with over six hundred WED reviews rating it an average of five stars. This is an WED artwork that speaks to people. Visitors dress the figures in WED hats and scarves. People leave flowers beside them. WED WED Sara Parker meets Antony Gormley in his Kings Cross studio WED and discovers how the project was conceived out of both an WED artistic vision and an attempt at economic regeneration. She WED also visits the Birmingham foundry where the figures were WED cast and, of course, Crosby beach itself where she meets WED those whose lives have been touched by this haunting WED artwork.

Conventional WED medicine cannot cure chronic pain but can only give limited WED relief to the situation. WED WED With longer life expectancies, it's estimated the NHS will WED need an additional £5 billion by 2018 to deal with chronic WED conditions. So a new approach is needed.

She WED explores how some researchers are considering the problem in WED a more holistic and radical way by looking at mind, body and WED spirit combined.

WED WED Dr Goldingay speaks to world experts like Dr Miguel Farias, WED a neuro-psychologist who's innovative work has shown a link WED between belief and pain, and Dr Jen Tarr who offers insights WED into the importance of community on pain management.

THU THU Six years earlier, Sarah injured her knee in a skiing THU accident and the intervening years have been dominated by THU numerous surgical opinions and operations, each followed by THU months of gruelling rehabilitation. THU THU Despite all this, Sarah's right knee remains unstable. She THU can't bear weight on it and walks with a limp. Running is THU impossible and she drags herself up flights of stairs. THU THU With each operation the pain in her knee has increased and THU she's recently developed back problems thought to be linked THU to her awkward gait. THU THU Six years of increasing pain and disability are also taking THU their toll on Sarah's mental health and she suffers from THU bouts of depression. THU THU Various surgeons have refused to amputate her leg and THU recommend that she either accept her existing level of THU disability or agree to further operations. THU THU But Sarah refuses. She doesn't want to live as she is and THU has lost faith in the medical profession's ability to give THU her a knee that will enable her to be active. She wants her THU leg amputated. THU THU The surgeon is caught in a dilemma - he appreciates how she THU feels but should he amputate her leg? THU THU Joan Bakewell and her panel discuss the issues. THU THU Producer: Beth Eastwood.

For the past nine years the New Horizons THU spacecraft has travelled 5bn km (3bn miles) to get to Pluto THU and on July 14th it performs its historic fly-by encounter THU with the dwarf planet. THU THU Adam Rutherford examines the first images from the New THU Horizon's probe and hears the first interpretations from THU mission leaders and scientists at the NASA New Horizon's THU space centre as the data arrives back to earth. Expect new THU light to be shed on the Solar System's underworld. THU THU For people who grew up with the idea that there were "nine THU planets", this is the moment they get to complete the set. THU Robotic probes have been to all the others, even the distant THU Uranus and Neptune. Pluto is the last of the "classical THU nine" to receive a visit. Of course, this 2,300km-wide THU ice-covered rock was demoted in 2006 to the status of mere THU "dwarf planet", but scientists say this shouldn't dull our THU enthusiasm. THU THU It was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh on 18 February 1930 and THU is named after the Roman god of the underworld. It lies an THU average of 5.9bn km from Sun and orbits every 248 years and THU has a thin nitrogen atmosphere that comes and goes. THU THU As Adam Rutherford reveals, nothing about this corner of the THU solar system has been straightforward. Little is known about THU Pluto's creation -but as the New Horizons probe passes Pluto THU for this first close up of the dwarf planet , scientists THU anticipate new insights into how planets and moons form.

THU THU On June 20th the head of Rwanda's external intelligence THU service, Lt. General Karenzi Karake, was arrested at THU Heathrow Airport. He is accused by a Spanish judge of war THU crimes committed during and after the genocide in Rwanda in THU the 1990s. General Karake is now on bail awaiting an THU extradition hearing. THU THU The Rwandan president, Paul Kagame, was furious when he THU heard about the arrest. He described it as a continuation of THU slavery and colonialism. General Karake is a senior member THU of the RPF, the party that took power in Rwanda in 1994 THU after its army, led by Paul Kagame, had put an end to the THU genocide. The general is also, intriguingly, seen as a THU potential rival to the president and was briefly sent to THU jail by Mr Kagame in 2010. THU THU The arrest is indeed embarrassing for Britain. Successive THU governments under Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron THU have cultivated close ties with Rwanda. Part of the reason THU appears to be Rwanda's remarkable recovery from the dark THU days of the genocide. Rwanda has emerged as a country with a THU well-functioning economy and little corruption. Britain, one THU of its principal aid donors, can point to Rwanda as a THU success story in a way it cannot with most other countries THU in Africa. THU THU But has Britain turned a blind eye to well-documented war THU crimes and human rights abuses perpetrated by senior THU government members? The accusations come from human rights THU organisations, as well as political opponents of the THU government. And even as British aid has continued to flow to THU Rwanda, there has been criticism of the country's human THU rights record from members of parliament and the Foreign THU Office itself.

"As FRI nurses, it's always important that as new literature is FRI provided we keep up with it." FRI FRI We follow Peter on a placement in the Burns Unit at FRI Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford. "I love patient contact, I FRI love talking to people." But sometimes it's hard to be FRI positive. "The pressures that are put onto nursing, and to FRI doctors and the multidisciplinary team creates this funnel FRI of negativity where mistakes can happen." FRI FRI Kayleigh echoes his concerns, yet her motivation to complete FRI her degree and become a qualified nurse is strong. "When I FRI come on placement, it reminds me what I'm driving for... You FRI walk away from it and you feel rewarded." FRI FRI Producer: Hannah Marshall FRI A Loftus production for BBC Radio 4.

FRI FRI Marina is the Chair of the Man Booker International Prize FRI 2015 and the series draws on the expertise of this year's FRI International Booker judging panel, the views of the FRI shortlisted writers, as well as other key literary talent.

FRI FRI There are questions around the boundaries between fact and FRI fiction which Marina believes are central to any FRI consideration of storytelling, since readers' pleasure FRI depends so much on trust built up between the storyteller or FRI writer and the audience. FRI FRI Over ten episodes, there are discussions on the reasons for FRI writing, writers as witnesses and political interaction.

Six accusers complained to the Bishop FRI about Timothy Donkin after a hotel maid saw him open his FRI room-door to a woman. He is charged with conduct unbecoming FRI a clerk in Holy Orders.
