SAT SAT Saturday 14th November 2015: Tony Macaulay SAT SAT Good morning. SAT "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> SAT SAT One of my happy memories of this summer was the 50th SAT anniversary festival at Corrymeela, Northern Ireland’s SAT oldest peace and reconciliation centre. Located on the SAT stunningly beautiful North Antrim coast, the Corrymeela SAT community started before the 30 years of “The Troubles” and SAT continues to work alongside fractured communities to this SAT day. I remember in the 1970s being transported up to SAT Corrymeela in a minibus along with other kids to get away SAT from the violence in Belfast. It was a place of safety and SAT respite at the height of the Troubles. At the festival this SAT summer I read an extract from my memoirs recounting my first SAT visit to Corrymeela as a 12-year-old boy. Some of the SAT volunteers who had organised fun activities for cheeky, SAT longhaired Belfast children like me listened with smiles and SAT tears on their faces. It was an opportunity for me to say SAT thank you to people who were the quiet peacemakers during a SAT time when it was easier to retreat behind the barricades SAT with your own side. SAT SAT SAT SAT In 1971 Coventry Cathedral presented Corrymeela with the SAT Coventry Cross of Nails for its work of reconciliation. SAT SAT SAT SAT It was on this day in 1940 that German bombers devastated SAT Coventry.. Following the destruction of the Cathedral that SAT day, the church made a commitment not to revenge, but to SAT forgiveness and reconciliation. It was that same remarkable SAT spirit of reconciliation that touched me deeply as a child SAT visiting Corrymeela in 1975, and which still inspires me SAT today. SAT SAT SAT SAT In words from the Coventry Litany of Reconciliation: SAT SAT Lord God, forgive the hatred, which divides nation from SAT nation, SAT Inspire us to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, SAT forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave us.

SAT SAT 06:07 Open Country b06nrsrw (Listen) SAT The Macbeth Trail SAT SAT Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most enduring plays; a SAT tragic tale of a Scottish king driven to his death as a SAT consequence of the ruthless pursuit of power. However many SAT are surprised to hear that there was a real king Macbeth of SAT 11th century Alba who bears little resemblance to the SAT character in the play. Mac Bethad mac Findláich or Macbeth SAT as he's known in English, had a legitimate claim to the SAT kingship and ruled relatively successfully from 1040 to SAT 1057. It's possible to trace Macbeth's story through the SAT landscapes he's associated with and where the significant SAT events of this period of history occurred. Helen Mark SAT journeys through Moray and south to Perthshire to visit SAT places that are strongly connected to the life of Macbeth; SAT landscapes in which it's also possible to discover the SAT heritage of medieval Alba.

In this programme, Charlotte SAT Smith finds out what the advantages and drawbacks are of not SAT actually owning the land you farm. Over the last century, SAT one of the main ways for would-be farmers who don't own land SAT to get started has been as tenants on farms owned by the SAT local council. For generations, it's been a stepping stone SAT into the industry - but for many cash-strapped councils, SAT farms have started to look like a tempting way of raising SAT much-needed funds. Many have already been sold off in SAT counties including Somerset, Oxfordshire and SAT Gloucestershire, and now Herefordshire is considering SAT putting all of its 4,800 acres up for sale. Charlotte hears SAT what that would mean for tenant farmers in the county. SAT Meanwhile in Scotland, plans for land reform could have SAT far-reaching effects for tenant farmers. Euan McIlwraith SAT from BBC Scotland explains what the proposals could mean. SAT And with the average length of farm tenancy now just three SAT and a half years, what future is there for tenants looking SAT to the long-term?

SAT SAT 11:00 The Forum b06p46bt (Listen) SAT Design and Beauty SAT SAT How far can we stretch the notion of a beautiful design? SAT And, how fundamental is it to the world around us and our SAT search for the answers to life's mysteries? We delight in SAT beauty when we find it in the design of everyday objects. SAT It's incorporated in the bodies we are born with and the SAT ways we enhance them. And, on a cosmic scale, there is SAT beauty in the rules which govern the universe. Bridget SAT Kendall is joined by nobel prize winning physicist Frank SAT Wilczek, furniture designer Khalid Shafar and body architect SAT Lucy McRae to explore the frontiers of what beauty in design SAT can mean. SAT (Photo: Basic perspective construction by Frank Wilczek). SAT SAT Professor Frank Wilczek SAT SAT Frank Wilczek is the Herman Fesbach professor of Physics at SAT MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is generally SAT considered to be one of the world's most eminent theoretical SAT physicists. SAT He is known, among other things, for the discovery of SAT asymptotic freedom, the development of quantum SAT chromodynamics, the invention of axions, and the exploration SAT of new kinds of quantum statistics (anyons). Much in demand SAT for public lectures to a wide range of audiences, Frank has SAT been anthologized in the Norton Anthology of Light Verse and SAT twice in Best American Science Writing (2003, 2005). He is SAT the author of Longing for the Harmonies and The Lightness of SAT Being. SAT In 2004 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics, and in 2005 SAT the King Faisal Prize. SAT His latest book: A Beautiful Question, Finding Nature’s Deep SAT Design argues that beauty is at the heart of the logic of SAT the universe, a principle that has guided his pioneering SAT work in quantum physics. SAT Frank explores the idea of beauty in theoretical physics and SAT whether you can say such a subjective notion, which some SAT scientists find controversial, is describable. SAT Professor Wilczek’s current work: SAT SAT Currently Frank is working on several projects including two SAT very different things to do with perception. Firstly, colour SAT perception; how much our colour perception drawn from SAT evolution leaves ‘on the table’ and how we might get it back SAT and how software and hardware might help us retrieve this SAT detection of colour, including infrared and ultra violet. SAT Secondly, perception in the quantum world. Lots of SAT structure, says Frank, in quantum equations is at present SAT inaccessible. We can describe the micro world but not the SAT quantum world very well. He predicts a new kind a matter SAT called enyons, which might also be useful for building SAT quantum computers. Current experimental technique is not SAT delicate enough. People can’t verify it, even though the SAT equations tell you it’s there. Frank is trying to come up SAT with a strategy to nail it down and explore the quantum SAT world with more refinement. SAT SAT Khalid Shafar SAT SAT The last couple of years have seen Khalid Shafar emerge as a SAT figurehead for Emirati design. He is one of the few UAE SAT design professionals to be known both locally and SAT internationally. SAT In 2011 Khalid opened his own studio in Dubai, and in SAT November 2012 he started his first showcase space ‘KASA’. SAT Khalid’s approach to design encompasses his personal SAT expression of form, movement, emotion, and in particular, SAT ‘the tale’, or story, of objects. SAT KASA is in the heart of the old Ras Al Khor industrial area SAT of Dubai. SAT KASA aims to showcase original Emirati objects – all SAT designed and made in the UAE. The space will offer SAT designers, collectors and researchers, both national and SAT international, a unique perspective of the aesthetics of UAE SAT design, while shedding light on the influences of local SAT crafts upon it. SAT Khalid is interested in the story designs tell us and SAT explains how he feels beauty is important but for him is SAT secondary to form and function. SAT SAT Lucy McRae SAT SAT Lucy McRae is a science fiction artist, director and SAT self-proclaimed body architect probing the frontiers of the SAT body, health and human adaptability. Her work aims to SAT connect science with the imagination. SAT *"... I look for beauty in the biological responding to SAT future scenarios like space travel to radically transform SAT the life sciences. I want to spearhead a health revolution SAT and impact the way people embody the future... " SAT ** SAT *Trained in classical ballet and interior design Lucy’s SAT artistic study of technology began during her formative SAT years at Philips Design. She led the technology company’s SAT far–future research lab developing stretchable electronics, SAT an electronic tattoo and a range of emotional sensing SAT dresses awarded TIME’s Best Inventions of 2007. SAT *“... I am willing to go far, for an experience or SAT understanding and look to the fringes of culture for SAT inspiration and criticism. Provoked by complex problems SAT faced by scientists, physicists and mathematicians I love SAT impossible challenges – the further out the better... " SAT ** SAT *Lucy talks about how our perceptions of beauty may change SAT as we evolve and travel in outer space.

Half the SAT UK gold medal winners in 2012 were educated privately and SAT the pattern is repeated in almost every sport outside SAT football. Sport is many things, but fair is not one of them, SAT so why single out performance enhancing drugs in sport when SAT we positively embrace them in other aspects of our lives? SAT Has anyone turned down Viagra because it might give them an SAT unfair advantage? As science progresses the possibility of SAT human enhancement is becoming an everyday reality. Drugs to SAT enhance memory and attention and to enable us to be smarter? SAT Why not? If this all sounds like some kind of dystopian SAT nightmare don't fret because there's a growing interest in SAT the field of bio-medical moral enhancement to make us better SAT people as well. Human enhancement - physical and moral on SAT the Moral Maze, but beware, listening could give you an SAT unfair advantage.

SAT SAT Last week's teaser question SAT SAT Tom asked: What's similar about Lady Chatterley, a man SAT without whom German electronic music wouldn't have been the SAT same, and Mrs Charlie Brooker? SAT SAT Lady Chatterley's first name, in the D.H. Lawrence novel of SAT 1928, is Constance or Connie. SAT SAT Konrad or 'Conny' Plank (1940-87) was the German audio SAT engineer and producer in whose Dusseldorf studio Kraftwerk SAT and other electronic bands made their most influential SAT records in the 1970s. He started his career as a stage sound SAT engineer for Marlene Dietrich. SAT SAT Mrs Charlie Brooker is the TV presenter Konnie Huq (b. SAT 1975). SAT SAT So they are all Connies, but only 'similar' because the SAT spelling is slightly different in each case.

To mark the beginning of SUN Prisons Week, Sunday Worship was recorded in Her Majesty’s SUN Prison Long Lartin in Worcestershire. It’s introduced by the SUN Managing Chaplain Kevin Downham, but begins with a personal SUN experience of faith in prison life. SUN SUN Opening testimony SUN I’m on my 6th year into a 24 year sentence for murder. I SUN found my faith again from finding myself at the end of the SUN line, having crossed the line of no return and realising SUN that enough’s enough and that there’s only one way forward SUN from where I found myself and that’s to try to become more SUN involved in my faith, which I’ve always had but I’ve never SUN followed. I believe that having faith in my life now anyway, SUN makes me a lot calmer in the dreaded situation that I’m in. SUN Perhaps my hopes for my future is to become a good Christian SUN person that can live in this society where society doesn’t SUN fear me for what I’ve done and hopefully one day will SUN understand that I can be a good person and that I am truly SUN sorry for what I did and I’d do anything to change it. SUN SUN AMAZING GRACE Verse one sung by a prisoner SUN SUN [KD]: Good morning and welcome to HMP Long Lartin. Those SUN words of Amazing Grace are deeply personal to the experience SUN of many prisoners who come to this place and find faith - SUN but even more personal was the testimony we have just heard SUN from a serving prisoner here in our community. Today sees SUN the start of Prisons week; a week in which the church is SUN called to remember and to pray for those who are ‘inside’ SUN and for those who have care of them. This morning’s service SUN comes from the chapel of St Leonard situated in the centre SUN of the Long Lartin complex; and that’s where the chaplaincy SUN finds its mission field, in the very heart of this Category SUN ‘A’ High Security Prison, i.e. a prison for offenders with SUN the highest risk. SUN SUN Our ministry is unique; a ministry where Christian, Jew, SUN Muslim, Pagan and others work together with mutual love, SUN humour and respect to walk alongside those whom society has SUN to segregate. We work in a challenging environment where SUN many of life’s events are lived out perhaps more intensely SUN than you can imagine from the outside. SUN SUN Prison gives people an opportunity to reflect and during SUN this time of reflection many come to faith. Others don’t but SUN they can still rely on having a chaplain to walk alongside SUN them offering unconditional care and support. For many there SUN comes a point when they move from the darkness of their SUN crime and see the light; the weight of their crime is SUN lifted, and they begin to move forward towards reintegration SUN into their family and community. SUN SUN This is often a long, hard and painful journey. During that SUN journey prisoners need to acknowledge the harm that they’ve SUN brought not only to themselves and their victims but to SUN their families, the victims’ families and the communities SUN they’ve come from. SUN SUN Accepting forgiveness can be difficult, but Christian faith SUN teaches there is redemption for all who believe in God’s SUN promise that through Jesus a new and living way is possible SUN – even for the worst of offenders - and for this we give SUN God the Glory. SUN And so we sing the hymn ‘To God be the glory, great things SUN He has done.’ SUN SUN Hymn: To God be the Glory SUN SUN [KD]Leading our service with me this morning is Judith SUN Roles who is one of two Quaker Chaplains at Long Lartin and SUN also works out in the community as a Restorative Justice SUN Facilitator. SUN SUN [JR] Engaging offenders to help them fully understand the SUN impact of their crimes is an important part of restorative SUN approaches. And as they come to terms with this impact and SUN begin to see the harm from the perspective of their victims, SUN their rehabilitation can begin. In this journey of change, SUN faith can be a real source of strength. SUN As chaplains here, we don’t necessarily know full details of SUN the offences of those we work with. But our role is to SUN travel alongside all, wherever they are. What I hold in mind SUN is the Quaker phrase ‘there is that of God in all of us,’ SUN whatever we’ve done and whatever our personal history. SUN SUN Each week we hold a multi-faith meeting for men of any faith SUN or none in the Quaker tradition of quiet, expectant waiting SUN on God and we offer a bridge for those seeking to reconnect SUN with ‘the promptings of love and truth, the leadings of God SUN whose light shows us our darkness and brings us to new SUN life’. SUN SUN [KD]When we accept the New and Living way which Jesus SUN offers us we can be free from the burden of our guilt. God SUN no longer sees the dirt and filth of our past; he sees us in SUN the righteousness that comes from being made clean by Jesus. SUN So let us take this opportunity to bring before God’s throne SUN of grace those things for which we wish to say sorry; SUN The Father is always with us Forgive us for not reflecting SUN your faithfulness SUN The Son is always self-giving Forgive us for living for SUN ourselves SUN The Spirit always leads us on Forgive our holding back SUN The words of the Lord Jesus declare: your sins have been SUN forgiven, receive His peace and walk in his risen life Amen. SUN SUN A number of friends of the prison are helping with our music SUN this morning and strengthening and supplementing our SUN prisoner’s choir. Amongst these is a Salvation Army band, SUN and the choir Octavo. They’re going to sing music by the SUN Scottish composer James MacMillan now which calls us out SUN from darkness and into the light of Christ – “O radiant SUN Dawn.” SUN SUN MUSIC: MacMillan: O Radiant Dawn SUN SUN [JR] SUN SUN “Come and shine on those who dwell in darkness SUN and in the shadow of death!” SUN Here is one man’s experience of that darkness and his SUN struggle to come to terms with the harm caused to his SUN victim’s family, his community and to his relationship with SUN God. SUN SUN Prisoner Testimony SUN When I came into prison my faith was a major problem for me. SUN I’d been a Christian, a practising Christian for over 20 SUN years and I came into prison and I thought how can I call SUN myself a Christian. I know that what I’d done is so far out SUN there and I struggled, really, really struggled because it SUN was a dark time for me personally but faith wise I thought SUN ‘how can you profess to be… and have done something like SUN that.’ And God is wonderful, because he put in my path a SUN Roman Catholic nun who used to work in the Chaplaincy and it SUN was her that God used to tell me, ’look, what you’ve done SUN you will have to pay for, you will be punished, on earth you SUN will be punished but you are still my child and I love you’. SUN And it was emotional. That was it for me. SUN I have a phrase and I love it – ‘Be careful what you say and SUN do because you may be the only Bible that somebody will ever SUN read’. And to try and live your life with that in mind, in SUN prison…People think in prison, it’s an easy place to be a SUN Christian. It’s not, because everything you do is analysed. SUN My favourite phrase in the whole of the Bible is Philippians SUN 1:21 For me to live is Christ, to die is gain. And in this SUN jail, that is what you have to do, you have to live as SUN Christ. You have to be that shining beacon. SUN SUN [JR] He’s been able to restore his relationship with God and SUN regain hope to face his future. This is a fundamental role SUN of our chaplains here, to enable spiritual and personal SUN transformation especially for those who do not see a future SUN and expect to die in prison. SUN SUN Prisoner testimony SUN A little over 20 years ago I took a man’s life, causing SUN tremendous hurt to his family, as well as destroying my own. SUN This was devastating for everyone. I did not want to think SUN about it – to face the enormity of what I had done. So I SUN spent the first 15 years of my sentence getting out of my SUN head on smack. I was certain that I would die in prison so SUN nothing mattered anymore. SUN SUN Because of suffering bad abuse in care I became convinced SUN God had done with me, that he did not care, I was bad. I had SUN as a youngster served as an altar boy, however each bad SUN experience drove me further away from my faith – I was angry SUN at God for everything. Then about 18 months ago I had a SUN series of heart attacks – it terrified me that the lights SUN can go out so quickly. I spoke to a priest I saw by chance SUN on the wing, I wanted to know why God had let me live. I SUN found myself thinking of God for the first time in years. SUN SUN A few months later I was segregated in healthcare again. SUN Each day a chaplain visited. I would always have a chat with SUN them and it was then that I met the 2 Quaker chaplains. The SUN more I spoke to them, the more comfortable I became with SUN Quakerism. I felt it was like putting on an old comfortable SUN jumper. I still had the hump with God but this just felt SUN right. Almost immediately my life began to improve, I knew SUN instinctively that a divine presence was with me. SUN SUN I now attend our Meeting for Worship every Friday – it is SUN now the highlight of my week – it fills me up – I can’t SUN explain it any better than that. Nearly a year on, my anger SUN at everything is dissipating and most importantly I now feel SUN hope for my future. I have a burning need to do things for SUN people. I feel that I have the strength of spirit and the SUN enthusiasm to change the world. I’m at the beginning of a SUN journey I don’t want to end. Never thought that would happen SUN – but God, as they say, moves in mysterious ways. I can live SUN with that! SUN SUN [KD] Those are their stories; a stories from the heart, SUN stories of the journey they have made whilst in prison. SUN Their individual journeys reveal their trust in that blessed SUN assurance that like all of us, we can have that personal SUN relationship and assurance that Jesus is mine and bringing SUN echoes of mercy and whispers of love during their darkest SUN days. SUN SUN Hymn Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine SUN [KD] The reading selected for Prisons Week this year is SUN from Hebrews Chapter 10 beginning at verse 19 and is read by SUN the Residential Governor of Her Majesty’s Prison Long Lartin SUN Jo May.. SUN SUN Therefore, my friends,* since we have confidence to enter SUN the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living SUN way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, SUN through his flesh), and since we have a great priest over SUN the house of God, let us approach with a true heart in full SUN assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an SUN evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let SUN us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, SUN for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how SUN to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not SUN neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but SUN encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day SUN approaching. SUN SUN This is the word of the Lord Thanks be to God SUN SUN [KD] Another of the chaplains here, the Revd Dr Stephen SUN Blake will give the address. SUN SUN Sermon SUN [SB]Guilt is a lonely place. SUN SUN Guilt is the most difficult emotion to cope with. And you SUN hear a lot about guilt in prison. As a prisoner here in SUN chapel today, you were sentenced because a court found you SUN guilty. You might be appealing because you believe you are SUN not guilty. You may find yourself alone in taking the SUN blame and guilt that others should share. Or you may be SUN living with guilt you know will be with you for the rest of SUN your life. When you do your programmes around your offence, SUN you think a lot about guilt. SUN SUN But guilt is common to us all, no matter what our SUN circumstances. Whatever the degree or extent of our guilt, SUN It's part of the human condition. And why is guilt so SUN difficult? Because guilt is the one emotion where all of SUN us - prisoners in jail, and people on the outside - stand SUN isolated and alone. Only you know the depth of it. With any SUN other emotion people may share it with us and help us to SUN deal with it – so if we’re sad, or upset, or angry, or SUN happy, or lonely, then other people can step in and be with SUN us in that emotion, and help us to cope. SUN SUN But guilt is all about being alone. We know something of SUN that from childhood. When we were small it was being alone SUN on the naughty step. Or standing alone with our face to the SUN wall in the corner. On the outside it's about carrying an SUN emotion alone, and not knowing what to do with it. Here in SUN prison it’s about separation from our loved ones, and the SUN loss of freedoms that everyone else takes for granted. It’s SUN segregation. It’s not being able to share what hurts SUN most. SUN SUN When we feel guilt, we feel separation and isolation. SUN There is no-one to share the pain. SUN SUN So maybe we try to shift the blame elsewhere. Or we dream SUN wistfully of what life would have been if that thing had SUN never happened, and in our minds escape, just for a SUN moment. Or we inflict physical pain on ourselves as a SUN trade-off – perhaps if we hurt ourselves, then the pain SUN helps with the guilt. But we know none of these things SUN really helps – the guilt just carries on nagging away at us SUN inside. We feel ashamed, dirty, unworthy, alone. SUN SUN But, says the writer to the Hebrews in our reading, there is SUN a new and living way opened for us that can deal with the SUN guilt. SUN SUN Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart, having our SUN hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience, and SUN our bodies washed with pure water. SUN SUN God alone can deal with our guilt because he alone is able SUN to forgive us completely and truly. He can wash away our SUN wrongdoings. He can put an arm round our shoulders and SUN say, ‘you did a bad thing – maybe a very bad thing – but I SUN know your sorrowful heart, and the price is paid. Your SUN guilt is washed away’. You will continue the rest of your SUN sentence to pay the price society demands, but in your heart SUN you can be right with God. In your heart you can be whole SUN again. SUN SUN How can that be? In short, because it all depends on SUN Jesus, not on anybody else. Not on you – or me. SUN SUN Our reading says that we have confidence to enter the Most SUN Holy Place – the very presence of God. And what’s the SUN qualification to enter his presence? It’s by the blood of SUN Jesus. Nothing we bring can help us in the mess we’re in – SUN only the blood of Jesus, shed for us as he died on the SUN cross. Only his costly sacrifice can deal with the SUN punishment that should have been ours, and reverse the SUN inevitable spiral to death that results from separation from SUN God. And that’s a hope that is certain and true. SUN SUN I know someone who has been through tough times recently, SUN and he drifted away a little from his Christian faith. He SUN knew he was wandering away from God, but he felt guilty and SUN distant. The feeling of guilt separated him from God. SUN SUN Just after Easter he found himself alone in church, where a SUN large rough wooden cross was standing, left over from the SUN Easter services. And he stood at that cross and prayed to SUN God; he wanted to bring something to God to make things SUN better. But he realised he had nothing to bring – nothing SUN but his guilt. All he had to bring to that cross were a SUN sincere heart and open hands to receive forgiveness. SUN SUN And at that point a simple truth dawned, that forgiveness is SUN entirely one-sided, it’s all from God. A burden was lifted SUN off his soul and he felt a warmth and a lightness of spirit SUN once again, as he understood that God had forgiven him. SUN SUN We have a new and living way opened for us into God’s SUN presence, which is the body of Jesus broken on the cross. SUN SUN Guilt makes us want to run away from God, but God says, No, SUN draw near, with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, SUN having your heart sprinkled to cleanse you from a guilty SUN conscience, and your body washed with pure water. SUN Guilt is a lonely place. SUN SUN And if guilt is a lonely place – then forgiveness is a SUN crowd! When you have been washed in the blood of Jesus you SUN become part of a great crowd of sinners who have experienced SUN the same healing. No matter how minor or how major our SUN wrongdoings, we hold together a common hope in the blood of SUN Jesus, and so we support and encourage one another. We SUN spur one another on to good deeds. SUN SUN We encourage our colleagues on the wings of the prison to SUN live wholesome lives – to love, to make peace and to do good SUN deeds. And we meet together as Christians – in our prison SUN chapel and on the wings, in our churches and fellowships on SUN the outside – to encourage one another in the joy of our new SUN lives together, a group of sinners who have found peace and SUN forgiveness through the Lord Jesus Christ, who now hold SUN unswervingly to the hope we profess. SUN Guilt nags away at our hearts and isolates us. Forgiveness SUN frees our hearts and opens them to share love, peace and SUN encouragement. SUN SUN Guilt demoralises and destroys – forgiveness changes our SUN lives and equips us to face our future with hope and a SUN purpose. For he who promised is faithful. Amen SUN SUN Straight into solo first verse – Amazing Grace SUN SUN Some prisoners and volunteers are now going to lead us in SUN prayers written by the Prison Fellowship for this Prisons SUN Week. SUN SUN Sung by prisoners’ choir SUN Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me; SUN Lord of life, you came and promised abundant life in and SUN through Jesus Christ. Give to those who are in prisons SUN everywhere the faith to claim your promises, the trust and SUN confidence to live in knowledge of your saving grace, and SUN assurance that all can be redeemed. May those who are SUN trapped in their past, weighed down by guilt and sorrow, SUN find true repentance and the strength to turn to you and SUN follow your new and living way, as witnesses of that new SUN life to others. Amen. SUN SUN Healing Lord, give light in the darkness to those who have SUN been the victims of others. Bring healing and peace, lead SUN them into the ways of wholeness and restoration, and give SUN them joy in the journey. Take away their fear and fill them SUN with grace and renewed strength to seek and serve you. May SUN all who have been the victims of crime and wrongdoings of SUN others, be comforted and set free from past sufferings and SUN pain. Inspire them through your spirit to find and follow SUN your new way of hope and love, and to see a new vision of SUN their future in your hands. SUN Amen. SUN SUN Lord God, your Son healed the sick and comforted those in SUN distress and so we lift to you the families of the victims SUN and perpetrators of crime. Send your Holy Spirit and give to SUN them fresh hopes and visions to work for new, life affirming SUN ways into your future, keep them strong in their commitment SUN and in their love. We pray for all who work in the prison SUN system; renew their vision, build their confidence and give SUN them grace to exercise power and authority seeking SUN transformation and restoration in the relationships that SUN bind our communities together. SUN Amen. SUN Lord God, maker and ruler of all things, open our eyes, give SUN us your vision and help us to recognise one another as SUN brothers and sisters, made in your image, companions for the SUN journey. We pray for all who struggle with ill health, SUN including the mentally ill. We pray also for those who SUN suffer loss and bereavement, for all refugees and all those SUN who are persecuted for their faith. SUN Amen.

The territorial roaring calls of the SUN world's second heaviest bird, the cassowary are odd enough, SUN but it still won't prepare you for your first sighting of SUN these extraordinary birds. Reaching a height of over 1.5 SUN metres, they have thick legs armed with ferocious claws, SUN blue - skinned faces and scarlet dangling neck- wattles. SUN These are striking enough but it is the large horn, or SUN casque, looking like a blunt shark's fin on the bird's head SUN that really stands out. It's earned this giant its common SUN name - cassowary comes from the Papuan for "horned head". SUN Such a primitive looking creature seems out of place in the SUN modern world and although the southern cassowary occurs SUN widely in New Guinea, it's still hunted for food there. SUN Cassowaries can kill dogs and injure people with their stout SUN claws, but the bird usually comes off worst in SUN confrontations.

SUN SUN Leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the fifth SUN First Minister of Scotland in the devolved era, she is the SUN first woman to hold either post. The eldest of two SUN daughters, she was brought up in Irvine and attended the SUN local Dreghorn Primary School. A studious child, she was SUN encouraged in her interest in current affairs by a teacher SUN and joined the SNP aged 16. At 21, she was the youngest SUN candidate in the 1992 General Election, contesting the safe SUN Labour seat of Glasgow Shettleston. SUN SUN She learned a lot about electoral defeat in those first SUN years, but after several unsuccessful attempts, she was SUN elected to the Scottish Parliament as a list MSP for Glasgow SUN in 1999. She served as the party's shadow minister for SUN education, and later for health and for justice and was SUN elected deputy leader of her party in 2004, standing on a SUN joint ticket with Alex Salmond. When the SNP won the highest SUN number of seats in the 2007 election, she was appointed SUN deputy First Minister. She also took on responsibility for SUN the SNP's independence referendum campaign. SUN SUN In November 2014, following the No vote in the Scottish SUN independence referendum and the subsequent resignation of SUN Alex Salmond, Sturgeon was elected leader of the SNP and SUN became First Minister of Scotland. She's been awarded the SUN Scottish Politician of the Year award three times and in SUN 2015 was judged to be the Most Influential Woman in the UK SUN by BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.

SUN SUN 13:30 Hardeep's Sunday Lunch b06p56yz (Listen) SUN Series 4, Journeymen Boxers SUN SUN Hardeep cooks up a meal that packs a protein fuelled punch SUN when he enters the world of the boxing journeymen - the men SUN who are paid to show young hopefuls the ropes and not to SUN win. Hardeep meets Johnny Greaves, one of the best in the SUN business - 100 fights, 96 defeats, 4 wins. As Johnny says SUN "turn up, fight, lose, get paid. Happy days." Johnny Greaves SUN is refreshingly honest about the realities of being a SUN mid-ranking professional boxer. Johnny makes losing look SUN like an art form and is very proud of his craft. He first SUN started boxing as a 9 year old against his older brother SUN Frank in the family's back garden in London's East End. When SUN he turned pro, brother Frank became his trainer and manager SUN and Johnny spent the next six years getting beaten up for SUN the pleasure of a baying, paying public. Hardeep discovers SUN what keeps people like Johnny fighting and gets an insight SUN in to the tight-knit world of boxing that's a very long way SUN from the glamour of big money title fights. SUN SUN Journeymen are the life-blood of boxing and many have skills SUN that belie the stats in their losses columns. They accept SUN fights against ambitious, highly trained fighters and must SUN always put on a show to make sure fans have a good night, SUN whilst making sure they don't hurt them too much - or get SUN hurt themselves. It takes enormous physical skill and SUN courage, but the journeyman also has to be mentally tough; SUN there's a stigma to being a journeyman and no one relishes SUN being labelled a loser even if they're getting well paid for SUN it. Now though, the tables have turned. Frank Greaves, at SUN the veteran age of 37 and despite his wife's concerns, has SUN decided that it's time he stepped into the ring and his SUN brother Johnny has become his trainer. Can Frank make it as SUN a journeyman boxer? SUN SUN Producer: Phil Pegum.

SUN SUN Chris Beardshaw, Bunny Guinness and Christine Walkden are SUN this week's panellists taking questions from an audience of SUN local gardeners. SUN SUN The questions range from how to create a sensory garden SUN within an exposed playground, to how best to plant a massive SUN bog garden, and how to keep sawflies away from your SUN gooseberries. SUN SUN Also, Chris Beardshaw visits the Loch Lomond and Trossachs SUN National Park for a project called Wild Park 2020 whose aim SUN is to eradicate invasive Rhododendrons and reintroduce the SUN lovely red squirrel. SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Questions and Answers SUN Q – I’ve taken lots of growth (2-3ft/60-90cm) off my SUN Rhododendrons and Pieris – will they survive? They’re about SUN 15 years old. SUN SUN Bunny – I’m sure they will be fine – they’ll grow back come SUN May/June SUN SUN SUN Q – Despite having wonderful soil, with Rhododendrons and SUN Azalias growing well, my Himalayan Blue Poppies have SUN gradually disappeared. Why is this? SUN SUN Christine – I would have thought that this is a varietal SUN issue. Many of the poppies are monocarpic – so they race to SUN flower, set lots of seeds, and then pop their clogs. SUN SUN Bunny – There could be too much competition. They might SUN need a bit more space for the seeds to get more light and SUN room to spread. SUN SUN Chris – Poppies won’t like the deep shade and the leaf SUN litter from those plants – as well as the root competition SUN SUN SUN Q – We’re in the process of developing our local play park. SUN We’d like to create a sensory garden – what plants would you SUN suggest? It is quite open to the elements and we’d prefer SUN native Scottish plants if possible. SUN SUN Chris – First thing to do is to create some shelter for the SUN more sensitive plants. I would look at plants like *Acer SUN campestre* or Alders or a Corylus etc to create boundaries SUN and defining spaces. Then you can put other plants within SUN those boundaries. SUN SUN Christine – Try Miscanthuses or things like Stipa (the SUN Golden Oat Grass). Pulsatillas in the early spring would be SUN great. Nicotiana too. SUN SUN SUN Q – I’ve had a beautiful crop of gooseberries this year – SUN but I am now getting gooseberry sawfly – can I prevent this SUN from happening? They’ve been in the garden for 3 years and SUN a couple of years in pots before that. SUN SUN Bunny – When gooseberries are on the ground they are far SUN more affected than if they are on a standard about 1m (3ft) SUN up. You can fool the sawflies by raising them off the SUN ground. SUN SUN Chris – Fan training up the wall them helps too – it raises SUN them and spreads them out so the flies just miss them! SUN SUN Christine – You could also put a physical barrier in the SUN way. Things like envirofleece – very fine good quality SUN covering. SUN SUN SUN Q – I live on a farm and have been trying to make a bog SUN garden. It is about 75sq metres, it’s heavy clay, and it SUN drains poorly. Can you recommend some plants that give SUN diverse colour and form. SUN SUN Christine – I think the Trolliuses are very good. Also, the SUN Primulas - *bulleyana* and *denticulata* – which will cope SUN with soggy, boggy conditions. SUN SUN Bunny – *Lysichiton Americanus* – the Skunk Cabbage. SUN SUN Chris – Trouble with that is it will get out! It’s a SUN pernicious weed. SUN SUN Christine – If you like Lysichiton go with *camtschatcensis* SUN the white one instead. SUN SUN Bunny – Also, *Primula florindae* and the *japonica.* SUN SUN SUN Q – I’ve started growing some Heathers. They are growing SUN quite tall (over a foot) – how best to control them? SUN SUN Chris – Very easy to do. If these are traditional heathland SUN heathers then you are talking about Callunas, Ericas, SUN Duboisias – those types of things. Best advice is to trim SUN them back to the base of the flower immediately after SUN they’ve finished flowering. SUN SUN Christine – Also you can dig a hole, drop them down lower, SUN and then mound up. Then they’ll come back stronger. SUN SUN SUN Q – I want to screen a typical barbed wire fence from view – SUN I thought, since it’s wet clay, that I’d raise some *Salix SUN alba* and keep them shrubby. All went well for three years SUN and then the leaves started to go black to die back. SUN SUN Chris – It is Willow Anthracnose – this is a disease that is SUN specific to Willows, it comes in after the flowering on SUN young shoots first and then races down to the stems. It’s SUN very difficult to get rid of I’m afraid. SUN SUN SUN Q – Our garden is 40m long x 7m (131ft x 23ft) wide and SUN currently contains no plants. The builders will be finished SUN by the beginning of December… where should we start? SUN SUN Christine – Don’t rush in! Take your time and think about SUN themes and colours and what you want month-by-month. SUN SUN Bunny – I’d draw it out and use tracing overlays to figure SUN it out visually first. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b06p56z1 (Listen) SUN Fi Glover introduces a conversation between friends who both SUN have disabled children, about the impact on their lives from SUN the moment of their birth. Their children have been helped SUN by Acorns Children's Hospice in Walsall, which has received SUN funding from Children In Need since 2011. 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.

SUN It starts with the arrival of a war criminal in a small SUN village on the west coast of Ireland, and moves to London SUN and the Hague as it it considers the impact of his terrible SUN crimes, and investigates the nature of evil. Edna O'Brien SUN talks to Mariella about researching her novel, and why she SUN believes fiction should tackle difficult and troubling SUN themes. SUN SUN Also on the programme - a sense of place: Frank Barrett who SUN has undertaken a literary pilgrimage around Britain and poet SUN Paul Farley, former writer in residence at Dove Cottage, SUN discuss the appeal of writers' homes and visiting the real SUN life settings of our great novels.

Born in 1905, Davies's two SUN major poetic sequences draw on his experience of life as a SUN miner and the economic hardships in the 1920s and 1930s. The SUN socialist principles at the heart of Davies' writing chime SUN with the South Wales valleys Kinnock knew half a century SUN later. In the fifties Pete Seeger's setting of "The Bells of SUN Rhymney" turned Davies into a folk hero, while TS. Eliot's SUN description of his verse as "the best poetic document I know SUN about a particular epoch in a particular place" has SUN consigned Davies' voice to a small patch of Wales. To SUN counter-balance these views, Neil Kinnock returns to SUN Rhymney, Davies' birthplace and the source of much poetic SUN inspiration, to meet those who knew the poet and his poetry, SUN arguing that the breadth and depth of Davies' writing is the SUN universal message of Everyman, Everywhere, in a wretched, SUN angry world.

MON MON Liz Bonnin presents the advancing, leaping and queuing male MON blue manakin of Brazil. Male blue manakins are small, blue MON and black birds with scarlet caps. They live in the forests MON of south-east Brazil and neighbouring areas of Argentina and MON Paraguay. Whilst their plumage is eye-catching, their mating MON display is one of the strangest of any bird. A dominant male MON Blue Manakin enlists the support of one or more subordinate MON males.

MON As BBC Radio 4 plans to broadcast a retelling of Emile MON Zola's 20 novel cycle, Les Rougon-Macquart, the journalist MON Anne-Elisabeth Moutet explores whether Zola is a 19th MON century gateway into understanding modern France. The MON novelist Agnès Desarthe has set her latest novel at the MON beginning of the 20th century and mixes the intimate with MON the great events of French history. The French Resistance is MON one of France's heroic myths and is central to the country's MON identity, but the historian Robert Gildea says the reality MON is far more complex. And contemporary France in all its MON complexity is represented in Karim Miské's thriller set MON among the radical Islamic preachers, Christian MON fundamentalists and corrupt police officers in one of the MON poorest suburbs of Paris.

MON MON Born Declan Patrick MacManus in London in 1954, Elvis MON Costello was raised in London and Liverpool, the grandson of MON a trumpet player on the White Star Line and son of MON dance-band singer. Costello went into the family business MON and before he was twenty-four had his first record deal as MON part of the the first wave of the British punk and new wave MON movement. His album, 'My Aim Is True', was a huge hit, and MON with his band, The Attractions, he went on to record some of MON the most influential albums in the 1980s and 90s. Known for MON his lyricism, and with a reputation as something of an MON 'angry young man', he has gone on to become one of he elder MON statesmen of pop, collaborating with many music legends, MON including Burt Bacharach, Johnny Cash and Van Morrison. MON Costello has won multiple awards in his career, including a MON Grammy Award, and in 2003, Costello and the Attractions were MON inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. MON MON In this typically idiosyncratic memoir, he charts his often MON unlikely rise to international success, the experiences that MON inspired his best-known songs, as well as the absurdities MON and the darker sides of fame.

She travels to Paris to get MON a real flavour of the great writers work and life, and how MON his experience and the life around him informed his great MON commentary of novels on the Second Empire. Zola's MON descendents describe how the reaction to J'Accuse and the MON Dreyfus Affair, where Zola accused the French Army of a MON cover up in an open letter to the press, still creates waves MON and bad feelings for the family. It's a journey of discovery MON for Jackson, right down to the fact that both Zola and she MON befriended a mouse. MON MON Jackson plays the 100 year old matriarch and narrator of MON Radio 4's ground breaking 24 hour drama serialisation of all MON twenty novels in Zola's epic family Rougon-Macquart series, MON with the first season, Blood, beginning November 21st. MON MON Blood, Sex and Money are the three major themes and title of MON the dramas, and Glenda explores how these themes infiltrated MON his work and life. She travels to his country home in Medan MON and meets his great grand-daughter. This was the home where, MON with his wife, he entertained his friends, such as Flaubert MON and Cezanne, where he set up a home for his lover and two MON children near by, and where he would cycle every afternoon MON to visit them. MON MON Glenda also visits key areas in Paris where Zola lived in MON dire poverty, and where he gathered with his artist MON contemporaries - Manet, Monet, Cezanne at the height of the MON impressionistic and naturalistic movement.

Brett Westwood MON discovers how the flea has been a carrier of disease, MON causing suffering on an enormous scale. But, despite being a MON danger and a pest, their proximity has led to us to try to MON understand them and find humour in them. MON MON The esteemed British naturalist Dame Miriam Rothschild was MON one of the world's leading experts on fleas and led an MON investigation into how they propel themselves to such speed MON and distance from their minuscule frame. As parasites, their MON ability to jump onto hosts to suck their blood led to fleas MON being charged with sexual energy in the 16th century. Poets MON wrote entertainingly intimate poems of their jealousy that MON the flea could jump onto areas of a beautiful woman that MON they themselves would be unable to reach. MON MON The comedic role of the flea continued into the era of the MON flea circus when they pulled miniature metal chariots MON several times their weight and their role as performers MON didn't end there - leading on into early cinema and even MON tourism. They may have been often overlooked but fleas have MON had a stark impact on our lives.

About the size of a European blackbird, TUE saddlebacks are predominantly black with a rust-coloured TUE saddle-shaped patch on their backs. In Maori culture this TUE mark came from the demi-God Maui who, after trying to catch TUE the sun, asked the saddleback to fetch water. The bird TUE refused, so hot-handed Maui grabbed it and left a scorch TUE mark on the bird's back. As well as this chestnut saddle, TUE the bird has two bright red wattles at the base of its beak TUE which it can dilate when it displays. It also has an TUE extensive vocabulary and one of its calls has earned it the TUE Maori name -"Ti-e-ke".

Before he was twenty-four, he had his TUE first record deal as part of the the first wave of the TUE British punk and new wave movement.

Known for his lyricism, and with an early TUE reputation as something of an 'angry young man', he has gone TUE on to become one of he elder statesmen of pop, collaborating TUE with many music legends, including Burt Bacharach, Johnny TUE Cash and Van Morrison. Costello has won multiple awards in TUE his career, including a Grammy Award, and in 2003, Costello TUE and the Attractions were inducted into the US Rock and Roll TUE Hall of Fame. TUE TUE In this typically idiosyncratic memoir, he charts his often TUE unlikely rise to international success, the experiences that TUE inspired his best-known songs, as well as the absurdities TUE and the darker sides of fame.

These vast creatures of the sea TUE have undergone a remarkable transformation. Once feared as TUE sea monsters they then became a valuable resource for oil, TUE food, blubber and bone. In the 20th century, as their TUE numbers dwindled, they suddenly became an image of fragility TUE - a victim of humanity's ruthlessness. They moved from TUE roaring sea monsters to creatures that sing and represent TUE peace, a transformation created by the media. TUE TUE Although there are many species of whale ranging in size and TUE body shape, most people have one image in their minds, a TUE kind of super-whale that amalgamates all that is good about TUE nature. "Save the Whale" is a household slogan." This was TUE demonstrated by the public reaction to the Thames Whale, a TUE female Northern bottle-nosed whale that became stranded in TUE London 10 years ago. People went into the water to try to TUE save her, she was photographed, written about and sung about TUE as people became entranced by her increasingly desperate TUE plight. She was a wildlife media sensation. After her death TUE popular newspapers even paid for the skeleton to be TUE preserved in a glass case rather than broken up into TUE drawers. TUE TUE The media defines our view of the whale as either a wonder TUE to be protected or a traditional resource to be exploited. TUE Here in the UK the removal of the national treasure that is TUE "Dippy the dinosaur" from the foyer of the Natural History TUE Museum, to be replaced by a blue whale skeleton, shows how TUE much this animal means to the public today. TUE TUE Richard Sabin TUE Richard Sabin is Principal Curator in the Department of Life TUE Sciences at the TUE Natural History Museum TUE specialising in the study of the form and function of marine TUE mammal skeletal anatomy.

TUE TUE On the 150th anniversary of the publication of Lewis TUE Carroll's book, lead singer and song writer of alternative TUE rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees, Siouxsie Sioux, TUE explores its strange allure. TUE TUE "From 8 onwards, I returned to those pictures of strange, TUE impossible animals and freakish, devious adults as I TUE followed the solitary, brave girl, from one weird encounter TUE to the next. I was struck that Alice could grow or shrink at TUE the bite of a cake or the sip of a drink - my body was TUE changing by the day and I was desperate to be older and TUE taller, like my sister, as I wobbled around in my mum's high TUE heels. The Mad Hatter, the Dozy Dormouse, the Mock Turtle, TUE the Duchess' baby pig and playing croquet with flamingos as TUE mallets all made me laugh and I loved the floating head of TUE the grinning Cheshire Cat who couldn't be beheaded. TUE TUE But there was something else that drew me into Wonderland TUE that I couldn't have named then, though I sensed its TUE irreverence - something darker about adults and their rules TUE and their craziness and endless unreasonableness.

Glossy blue-black birds which live in wooded WED country and are great insect catchers, hawking after them in WED mid-air before returning to a perch. They're bold too and WED won't hesitate to harry and chase much larger birds than WED themselves, including, birds of prey. Like other drongos the WED greater racquet-tailed drongo has an extensive but not very WED musical repertoire which includes the sounds of other birds WED it meets, when it joins mixed feeding flocks, and can WED imitate the call of a hawk to alarm the hawk's victims and WED so steal food from them while they are distracted by the WED call: an ingenious tactic, which few other birds have WED learned.

WED WED 11:00 The Joy of 9 to 5 b06pbw9v (Listen) WED Lucy Kellaway looks at the UK's long hours office culture WED and asks what happened to the 9 to 5? WED WED In 1930 John Maynard Keynes predicted that, by 2030, we'd WED all be working a 15 hour week. And yet, almost half of us in WED the UK put in over a 40 hour week and most of those who work WED over 48 hours say they're unhappy. WED WED In part one of a new series on modern work culture, Lucy WED Kellaway, management columnist for the Financial Times, WED discovers the origins of the eight hour working day. WED WED She finds out what people are actually up to when they're in WED the office at all hours and argues much of the typical WED working day is taken up with time-wasting. For Lucy, our WED self image has become so intertwined with our job that we WED bolster it by putting the hours in - even if in doing so WED we're less happy and productive. WED WED Speaking to business leaders, management researchers, and WED office workers, Lucy asks whether it's time to re-define our WED notion of 'hard work', and explores the idea that working WED less could actually be better for everyone.

WED WED Meet the team: WED Graham Quicks (Vincent Franklin), Head of the People and WED Places Department of the LNS. There are three things in the WED world that Graham will always have faith in - statistics, WED the supremacy of filofaxes over computers and the idea that WED cardigans will never go out of style. WED WED Audrey Carr (Rebekah Staton) is the Survey Researcher for WED the department. She believes passionately that statistics WED should be used as a tool to help the man on the street. WED Fortunately for her, she's never actually met "the man in WED the street". She's also passionate about Jane Austen, Les WED Miserables and pretending that she doesn't work in an office WED with Daniel. WED WED Daniel Porter (Kieran Hodgson) is the department's Data WED Analyst. He used to work in the City, until the City WED realised he was a colossal waste of space. Daniel divides WED his time between manipulating statistics to further his WED vision of capitalism, necking energy drinks and telling WED people his thighs are really, really strong. He's terrible.

THU THU Liz Bonnin presents the eastern orphean warbler in an olive THU grove near Athens. Until recently there used to be just a THU single species of Orphean Warbler; a summer visitor to THU southern Europe, North Africa and western Asia: a handsome THU bird much like a large blackcap with a white throat and THU greyish-brown back. But across the wide breeding range which THU stretches from Portugal to Pakistan some orphean warblers THU look and sound different. Those east of Italy tend to be THU subtly greyer above and paler beneath. And the songs of THU birds from Greece eastwards are longer and richer, often THU including the richness of nightingale like notes. These THU slight differences have persuaded many ornithologists that THU the Eastern Orphean warbler is a different species to the THU Western Orphean Warbler. Biologists call this "splitting THU "although exactly where these new species boundaries lie is THU a moot point.

So begins Emma by Jane Austen, describing her THU leading character who, she said, was "a heroine whom no-one THU but myself will much like." Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss THU this, one of Austen's most popular novels, a brilliantly THU sparkling comedy of manners published in December 1815 by THU John Murray, the last to be published in Austen's lifetime. THU This followed Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Mansfield Park THU (1814) and Austen had become so fashionable that even the THU Prince Regent was known to be fan of her work.

THU Born Declan Patrick MacManus in London in 1954, Elvis THU Costello was raised in London and Liverpool, the grandson of THU a trumpet player and son of dance-band singer. At THU twenty-four he had his first record deal as part of the the THU first wave of the British punk and new wave. Costello's THU album, 'My Aim Is True', was a huge hit, and with his band, THU The Attractions, he went on to record some of the most THU influential albums in the 1980s and 90s. Known for his THU lyricism, and with a reputation as something of an 'angry THU young man', he has gone on to become one of he elder THU statesmen of pop, collaborating with many music legends, THU including Burt Bacharach, Johnny Cash and Van Morrison.

A THU staggering one-third of it travels on foot, on the backs of THU young men like Daniel. He is 18, full of bravado, and claims THU he does this work so he will be able to go to university and THU take care of his family.

THU THU For Crossing Continents Linda Pressly meets the 'mochileros' THU who are mostly young men from isolated, peasant villages. THU They have grown up in coca-growing communities that suffered THU some of the worst atrocities of Peru's dirty war with THU Shining Path rebels in the 1990s. All of them do it for the THU money - payments of hundreds of dollars in a region where THU the incidence of poverty is more than twice the national THU average. THU THU It is a perilous occupation. Armed gangs, a re-emerging THU Shining Path, the military and police all conspire to stop THU or control the trade. Daniel says that on every trip he THU makes, three or four young men will die. Highland prisons THU are bursting with mochileros who were caught, but in many THU ways they are the lucky ones - others die on the trails, THU their bodies devoured by wild animals.

This super star of the Avant Garde, who featured THU on the front cover of the Beatles Sergeant Pepper album, had THU been shocking audiences since the 1950's with his dazzling THU compositions. He was lured to the quiet West Riding mill THU town for its 10th anniversary festival, because the South THU Bank in London couldn't provide the rehearsal time and a THU suitable venue for his composition, Sternklang or 'Star THU Sound'. The Festival Director Richard Steinitz had promised THU him the cavernous council owned sports hall for the THU performance, which was turned into an indoor park for the THU occasion, complete with Christmas trees and artificial turf. THU While setting up for a concert in Huddersfield Town Hall THU part of the ceiling fell onto Stockhausen's mixing desk and THU narrowly missed injuring the great man himself. During his THU visit Stockhausen developed a taste for the local curry THU house, bought ear plugs to get to sleep in the railway hotel THU and invited local people to get ready for 'visitors from THU outer-space'. His reputation had gone before him, and he THU didn't disappoint those who were lucky enough to be there. THU The visit put the festival on the map, and has become part THU of local folklore. Ian is joined by the writer and THU broadcaster Robert Worby, the then Festival Director Richard THU Steinitz, Technical Manager Steve Taylor, musician Peter THU Britton who trained the student performers, and Jim Pywell THU who was a music student at the Polytechnic at the time.

THU THU Gore Vidal's earlier novel The City and the Pillar was THU published in 1948 when the author was 23 years old.

THU THU In the first programme, he investigates confirmation bias - THU or why so many people look for evidence that confirms their THU pre-existing beliefs. THU THU Jon believes he may be susceptible to confirmation bias THU himself. Over the last two years he has kept noticing that THU the time on his phone is 11.11. After looking on the THU internet, he found out there are many other people also THU doing this, including Uri Geller who first started noticing THU the number 11 over twenty years ago. Jon has also discovered THU that a particular community of people believe 11.11 is a THU sign for a new spirit guide who will come to earth, THU coincidentally known as Monjoronson. He speaks to the owner THU of the Monjoronson web domain, Ron Besser, and asks if it is THU possible that Jon himself is the spirit guide they're THU looking for. THU THU Jon talks to other people who have been affected by THU confirmation bias, including an Oxford academic who believes THU her fate can be determined by looking at two lip balm pots. THU THU The journalist David Aaronovitch says he believed the THU delusions he had while suffering intensive care psychosis THU after a routine operation were real. THU THU Lotfi Raissi, the first person to be charged in connection THU with the September 11th attacks, tells Jon he believes his THU arrest was down to confirmation bias because he fitted a THU certain profile. A judge found there was no evidence to link THU Raissi to any form of terrorism. THU THU Finally Jon speaks to the lawyer Clive Stafford Smith, who THU believes people who are prone to confirmation bias are more THU likely to be recruited to police forces.
