SAT SAT Helen Mark travels to the market town of Gainsborough to SAT discover more about the nodding donkeys that pepper its SAT landscape. Oil wells sit comfortably fringed by a housing SAT estate, the leisure centre and the golf course. SAT SAT It turns out that the East Midlands is the UK's second SAT largest inshore oil producing area, courtesy of the SAT Gainsborough Trough, once a deep and dirty patch of sea. Now SAT it produces twelve hundred barrels of high quality oil a SAT day, mostly pumped up by nodding donkeys. SAT SAT Whereas fracking attracts protest and controversy, local SAT people seem quite content to live alongside these nodding SAT pumps, perhaps because they look so benign - friendly even - SAT and work away quietly with apparently little human SAT intervention. SAT SAT Helen meets local teacher and long-distance runner Nigel SAT Bowler, for whom the donkeys are a landmark on his running SAT routes. There's artist Verity Barrett, who loved the pumps SAT as a child, part of the 'scenic route' on trips to visit her SAT granddad. SAT SAT Julie Barlow from i-gas explains the business of oil SAT extraction and geologists Malcom Fry and Paul Hildreth slice SAT through the soil to bring alive the geological layers that SAT led to the Gainsborough Trough. Then there are Daniel Ashman SAT and Louise Hammond, who've spent the last week camping SAT outside a new exploratory oil boring site near the village SAT of Laughton, as part of an anti-fracking protest. SAT SAT As the dustbin lorry and the postman do their rounds of the SAT Park Springs Housing Estate on the edge of Gainsborough, SAT another few barrels of oil are drawn up from 1500m SAT underground. The nodding donkeys aren't bad neighbours, it SAT seems. 'I think they're wonderful' says Paul Hildreth. SAT SAT Producer...Mary Ward-Lowery. SAT SAT 06:30 Farming Today b07650vz (Listen) SAT Farming Today This Week: Rural Services SAT SAT Sybil Ruscoe is at the Brockweir and Hewelsfield Village SAT Shop in the Forest of Dean - built and run by local people SAT to fill the gaps left when local services disappeared.

SAT SAT 10:30 World War One: The Cultural Front b07654q4 (Listen) SAT Series 3, Bleeding France SAT SAT Francine Stock continues her annual exploration of the SAT culture made in the years of war. 1916. A year of slaughter SAT on an industrial scale at Verdun & The Somme. Paris, the SAT city of eternal light was now darker, greyer & more French SAT than before 1914. Under fire from above. A place of SAT departure and arrival for the thousands of Poilu (hairy SAT ones) sent up the line to death at Verdun, a 10 month SAT artillery duel that would define France's war. SAT SAT Many Poilu on leave (Permissionaires) just wanted a bed, a SAT woman & entertainment to distract them from the memories of SAT ceaseless bombardment. Picasso was painting portraits SAT including poet Apollinaire. Home from the front with a star SAT shaped wound & verses to match. Americans like Edith Wharton SAT wrote fiction & fact in support of France's war, including SAT The Book of the Homeless for which Stravinsky contributed an SAT anti-German march. SAT SAT Henri Barbusse, recovering from his wounds, broke new ground SAT with his novel Under Fire. At the Musee de L'Armee hangs a SAT remarkable canvas unlike any other created in the career of SAT 'Nabi' painter Felix Vallotton. 'Verdun' is a boiling world SAT of destruction with no place for man, pierced by deathly SAT searchlights of colour & power. SAT SAT Fernand Leger recorded his frontline experiences mainly in SAT letters, able only to sketch not paint, but his watercolour SAT La Cocarde shows the crumpled & broken aircraft that SAT littered the battlefield. Some of those aircraft had carried SAT aces, the new heroes of the war to either glory or SAT destruction or both. Their deeds were vital morale boosters SAT for both publics & governments. The flying Americans of the SAT Lafayette Escadrille were instrumental in selling a good, SAT clean war back home to a reluctant American public & young SAT men eager for adventure. SAT SAT Producer: Mark Burman. SAT SAT 11:00 The Forum b076nwps (Listen) SAT The Hidden Power of Noise SAT SAT Bridget Kendall and guests explore the unseen and often SAT un-noticed power which noise has over us. With writer Garret SAT Keizer who is interested in the social and economic SAT dimensions of noise; sound artist Jana Winderen who records SAT sounds made by underwater creatures; and Cambridge Professor SAT of English Steven Connor who focuses on the 'ums, ahs, ohs, SAT and ahems', expressive language noises that are often SAT dismissed as marginal or trivial. SAT SAT (Photo: Illustration showing computer wave-forms spelling SAT 'noise'. Credit: Shan Pillay). SAT SAT Garret Keizer SAT SAT Garret Keizer, the author of ‘The Unwanted Sound of SAT Everything We Want’, has been pondering what noise says SAT about human relationships: who gets to make noise, who gets SAT heard and who gets to complain about excessive noise. And SAT also: whether the poor and powerless are exposed to more SAT noise pollution than the wealthy. SAT SAT Jana Winderen SAT SAT Norwegian sound artist Jana Winderen travels the world with SAT four hydrophones, recording sounds made by underwater SAT creatures. She then plays the sounds of, say, cod SAT communicating with each other, to her friends before dinner. SAT She says that some people change their mind about eating SAT fish after they’d heard them talking to each other. SAT SAT Steven Connor SAT SAT Steven Connor is Grace 2 Professor of English at Cambridge SAT University where his research is focussed on the literature SAT and culture of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as SAT well as the history of sound, voice and auditory media. In SAT ‘Beyond Words: Sobs, Hums, Stutters and other Vocalizations’ SAT he probes the fringes and limits of human language to SAT challenge our basic assumptions about what it is to SAT communicate and where meaning lies in language.

SAT SAT 12:04 Money Box b075mf40 (Listen) SAT Offshore - not as foreign as it sounds SAT SAT Offshore, tax avoidance, trusts. Words of the week as 11 SAT million confidential documents from the Panama based lawyers SAT Mossack Fonseca were leaked to a German newspaper SAT Suddeutsche Zeitung and analysed by the International SAT Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The 215,000 trusts, SAT companies, and foundations identified are not all owned by SAT world leaders, celebrities, and politicians. There are SAT unknown people of fairly modest wealth there too. What SAT should we do if an accountant or adviser suggests to us that SAT offshore is not as foreign as it sounds? SAT SAT More than six million people who are members of a workplace SAT pension scheme will find they pay more National Insurance SAT from this week. It's been described by some as a 'stealth SAT tax raid' which will net the Treasury £5.5bn a year. Why is SAT it happening? SAT SAT How much should a £415 washing machine cost? You could pay SAT £1248 if you rent-to-own it through a firm called SAT Brighthouse. The extra cost includes delivery, insurance, SAT and the credit over three years at 69.9% APR. Another. quite SAT separate, rent-to-own firm was recently forced to pay SAT £939,000 redress to 59,000 customers - a penalty for unfair SAT practice. But a new not-for-profit rent-to-own company would SAT charge just £648 and you would own the washing machine SAT nearly 18 months sooner. So will this newcomer disrupt the SAT market? SAT SAT This week saw yet another new ISA launched. The Innovative SAT Finance ISA allows peer-to-peer investments to be put into SAT an ISA so that the returns earned are tax-free. The industry SAT say it's a 'pivotal' moment but is it suitable for all SAT levels of investor?

SAT SAT 14:30 Saturday Drama b04k4022 (Listen) SAT Reykjavik SAT SAT 11th October 1986: the height of the Cold War, enough SAT missiles to detonate the planet two thousand times over. SAT SAT Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev meet at Gorbachev's SAT request for a one-day, informal chat, at the (some say SAT haunted) Hofdi House near Reykjavik. But in the small brown SAT room where they meet, Gorbachev suddenly blindsides the SAT Americans: out of the blue, he offers 50% cuts in all SAT missiles - and he'll sign today. The White House team is SAT catastrophically unprepared for this - no-one predicted it. SAT SAT But Reagan sees how he can really achieve something.... and SAT within hours they are talking the most colossal cuts in SAT nuclear warheads, aiming to reach zero missiles within ten SAT years. How did this happen? How did it fail? SAT SAT Drawing on both American and Russian transcripts of every SAT word said between the two leaders, Jonathan Myerson's SAT gripping drama explores the pressures on both sides, moment SAT by moment, as the deal grows bigger and bigger, and the SAT drama shifts from measured words at the negotiating table, SAT to the panic, graft and invention of the two diplomatic SAT teams outside the room.

It's a story of a devastating fraternal dilemma, SAT a 17-year manhunt and a controversial media decision to SAT publish the bomber's demands. SAT SAT Between 1978 and 1995, Theodore Kaczynski lived in a remote SAT cabin in rural Montana, from where he planned the downfall SAT of industrial society. A former Harvard scholar and the SAT youngest-ever professor at University of California, SAT Kaczynski was motivated by a desire to punish proponents of SAT technology - from a senior geneticist to a junior computer SAT salesman. SAT SAT Kaczynski made 16 bombs that killed three people and injured SAT 23, some severely. SAT SAT Then, controversially, America's two most prestigious SAT newspapers, on the advice of the FBI, agreed to publish his SAT 35,000-word manifesto - triggering a debate about media SAT ethics that persists to this day. The gamble paid off in a SAT most unexpected way. SAT SAT Two decades on, as terror dominates the news agenda and we SAT continue to debate the relationship between technology and SAT security, Benjamin Ramm re-visits the extraordinary story of SAT the Unabomber. SAT SAT Benjamin meets some of the key figures in the hunt for one SAT of America's most wanted - those he hurt, those who knew him SAT and those who tried to capture him. And, alongside media SAT reports of his crimes, we hear some of the words of the SAT Unabomber himself, through excerpts from his extensive notes SAT and writings.

SAT SAT 21:00 Drama b075mltm (Listen) SAT The Magus, Episode 3 SAT SAT Nicholas Urfe, a young British graduate runs away from his SAT monotonous life to take up a teaching post on the small SAT Greek island of Phraxos. There he meets the enigmatic figure SAT of Maurice Conchis and slowly gets drawn into a world full SAT of strange encounters and elaborate tricks on Conchis's SAT estate at Bourani. When Conchis introduces Nicholas to the SAT enchanting and mysterious Lily Montgomery who bears a SAT striking resemblance to Conchis's long dead fiancée, reality SAT and illusion begin to intertwine, but what strange game is SAT Conchis playing with Nicholas? Moreover, in this world SAT coloured by artifice and deception, who is really telling SAT him the truth? SAT First published in 1965 John Fowles's novel 'The Magus' soon SAT achieved cult status, but has only been dramatized once SAT before in a film of 1968. Now acclaimed dramatist and SAT screenwriter Adrian Hodges (My Week with Marilyn, The SAT Go-Between, Peter and Wendy, The Musketeers, Survivors, SAT Primeval,) has adapted the novel for this new three-part SAT dramatisation starring Tom Burke (War and Peace, The SAT Musketeers) as Nicholas Urfe, Charles Dance (And Then There SAT Were None, Game of Thrones) as Maurice Conchis, and Hayley SAT Atwell (Agent Carter, Brideshead Revisted) as Lily.

SAT SAT 22:15 Agree to Differ b075szsp (Listen) SAT Series 2, Trident SAT SAT A final decision to commit to the successor programme to SAT Britain's nuclear weapons programme, Trident, is expected SAT this year. For supporters, Trident is the ultimate security SAT guarantee in the unpredictable strategic environment of the SAT next forty-to-fifty years. For those against, Trident is SAT militarily nonsensical, financially insane, and morally SAT intolerable. You might feel you have heard a great deal on SAT this subject and yet public opinion is still divided over SAT the issue. In this programme the aim is to give listeners a SAT completely new way to understand the debate and to decide SAT where they stand. Two experts who passionately disagree on SAT Trident renewal are challenged to reach agreement over their SAT differences and bring clarity over what the disagreement is SAT fundamentally about. Sir Malcolm Rifkind is a former Defence SAT and Foreign Secretary and was once third in line to 'push SAT the button'.

SUN SUN Kept apart from other children in stiflingly boring special SUN schools, hidden away in institutions or trapped and SUN powerless in family homes, this was normal life for millions SUN of disabled people in Britain in the 1960s and 1970s. SUN SUN Routinely turned away from cafes for "putting other SUN customers off" and cinemas for being "a fire hazard", cruel SUN names and insensitive questions were a regular indignity. SUN SUN In 1979 a Government report found that discrimination SUN against disabled people was as bad as that relating to race SUN or gender. The reportt highlighted the case of a draughtsman SUN whose job offer was withdrawn because he had a prosthetic SUN leg. SUN SUN In the 1980s, a new generation of disabled people started SUN challenging society and the Government, saying it was SUN society that prevented them from actively participating in a SUN fuller working and social life. SUN SUN When letters and peaceful campaigning failed, demonstrators SUN upped the ante, chaining themselves to buses and bringing SUN Whitehall to a standstill. The campaign split friendships SUN and loyalties and left many bitterly disappointed. SUN SUN Joining Sue around the table to look back on what was dubbed SUN "the last civil rights movement" are Baroness Jane Campbell SUN who was arrested during campaigning; Sir Bert Massie who was SUN accused of being an "Uncle Tom" when he started working with SUN the Government; Peter White who, as the BBC's Disability SUN Correspondent, had a front row seat on the campaign; Lord SUN Hague who steered the Disability Discrimination Act through SUN Parliament; and Adam Thomas who met his wife while chained SUN to a bus!

Sheila SUN Dillon explores life, and the role food plays in it, on SUN board HMS Artful- a nuclear-powered but not nuclear-armed SUN submarine. More than simply for nutrition, food acts as a SUN marker of the day and time in a world without sunlight and SUN is crucial in maintaining morale. So how do you order enough SUN food for 140 crew for up to 3 months at sea, store it in SUN confined spaces and cook for a 24 hour operation while SUN coping with the vessel diving or having to keep silence in a SUN stealth operation? Sheila learns about the naval favourites SUN 'Cheesy Wham-bam' and 'Nelly's Wellies', how they mark an SUN important occasion and works out if the chef if the most SUN popular job to have on board.

Byron has a bad case SUN of it. Like many people has been held back from enjoying or SUN getting involved in situations he would have liked to. SUN SUN For those who live with social phobia, life can be a litany SUN of missed opportunities, of people assuming a lack of saying SUN something denotes a lack of something to say. So he's SUN decided to tackle his stranger danger head on and beat his SUN social anxiety. On a journey of trial and error via SUN Californian tranquility gurus, life coaches, fellow SUN 'panickers', dinner parties, the barbers' chair and more, SUN Byron hopes that the mortal dread induced by social SUN interaction will become a thing of the past.

SUN SUN James Wong, Anne Swithinbank and Matt Biggs are this week's SUN panellists, discussing the best ways to quickly compost SUN perennial weeds, singing the praises of raised beds, and SUN advising on how to rid your garden of invasive bamboo. SUN SUN The panel also takes a look at what the Cornwall Garden SUN Society Show has to offer, and Chris Beardshaw investigates SUN the gardening scene in Seattle, WA. SUN SUN Produced by Darby Dorras SUN Assistant Producer: Laurence Bassett SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Questions and Answers SUN Q – Is there a way of quickly composting perennial weeds? SUN SUN Anne – You can drown them in water until it has completely SUN died and then compost it. I’ve got some *Potentilla SUN reptans* at the moment – which came in on some bare-rooted SUN gooseberries – and it’s an awful weed so I incinerate that SUN actually. SUN SUN Matt – You could dry them out in the sunshine first too. SUN SUN James – I take mine to the council tip and they give me SUN compost in return. SUN SUN SUN Q – I would like to know what plants to grow in an exposed, SUN north-Cornwall coastal garden in the colours of blue and SUN white please. SUN SUN Anne – You’ll need a windbreak – *Olearia* is a good choice, SUN especially *traversii* (the ‘Daisy Bushes’). I’d then try SUN *Echinops* – the ‘Globe Thistles’. On a smaller scale you SUN could try ‘Cupid’s Dart’ – *Catananche caerulea* – as an SUN annual. SUN SUN James – *Agave americana*. SUN SUN Matt – *Agapanthus*. Or the *Eryngium* – the ‘Sea Holly’; SUN *Eryngium bourgattii* ‘Picos Blue’ is a good one. SUN SUN SUN Q – What’s the point of raised beds? SUN SUN Matt – One point is to avoid the natural growing conditions SUN eg heavy clay. Also, as I get older it makes gardening SUN easier as I don’t have to bend down as much. The soil warms SUN up quicker in the Spring so it extends the growing season. SUN SUN Anne – They suit the tidy-minded because they are neat. SUN SUN James – They are great to increase productivity in small SUN spaces. SUN SUN SUN Q – My roses that were pruned in the autumn put on early SUN growth but succumbed to wind burn. Can they be pruned back? SUN I’m particularly worried about *Floribundas*. SUN SUN James – I think the pruning has been done for you. Leave SUN them to it. Avoid putting any fertiliser on now but maybe SUN some later in the year. SUN SUN Q – How do I get rid of rampant, invasive bamboo without SUN using chemicals? SUN SUN James – Tricky. I’d hack it down to the ground two or three SUN times in a year to drain its underground reserves of SUN energy. It will eventually go. SUN SUN SUN Q – I’ve been growing carrots at 900ft (275m) on Bodmin Moor SUN and the last three years have been disastrous. They are SUN thin and reedy and they get carrot fly. SUN SUN Anne – It’s likely to be the bad summers that we’ve had SUN SUN Matt – It might be worth starting them off in modules and SUN then transplant them. Or plant smaller, round-rooted SUN varieties like ‘Parmex’ round the outside of a pot and then SUN planting them out. SUN SUN James – Try switching to Bilberries – very similar but can’t SUN be found in the supermarket. SUN SUN SUN Q – How can I grow Lemon Verbena successfully? SUN SUN Anne – Very easily I should think. Plant it into a SUN container and have it outside on a patio for the summer – or SUN in a greenhouse. Come the autumn you could either take SUN cuttings and bring them into the greenhouse or dig up the SUN plant, re-pot it and bring it in. Keep it frost free. Then SUN back out on the patio in spring. SUN SUN Q – My ‘Marjorie’ plum tree is now fifteen years old. It SUN has been a good fruiter but has become rather straggly - SUN should I prune? If so, when and how much? SUN SUN Matt – End of July to end of August normally. I would thin SUN it out rather than heavily prune. SUN SUN SUN Q – What are the badgers looking for when they’re digging up SUN my lawn? SUN SUN Anne – Worms and grubs essentially.

Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

SUN SUN Surprising perhaps: because, despite the fact that Spark SUN always referred to herself as a poet, it's her reputation as SUN a novelist, and the creator of the charismatic Jean Brodie, SUN for which she's better known. SUN SUN Before Muriel was anywhere near her prime, she'd established SUN a reputation as a poet. Aged just fourteen, she won a SUN prestigious poetry competition celebrating the centenary of SUN Walter Scott.

SUN SUN 17:00 The Panama Papers b075pz83 (Listen) SUN This week's massive leak of confidential documents from the SUN Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca, has given SUN unprecedented access to the way the rich and powerful have SUN used tax havens to hide their wealth. But within the eleven SUN and a half million documents, there is also evidence of how SUN some of the shell companies set up by the firm, or the SUN individuals that owned them, have been the subject of SUN international sanctions and have been used by rogue states SUN and oppressive regimes including North Korea and Syria. SUN Simon Cox reveals details from the leaked papers and travels SUN to the British Virgin Islands where a small office run by SUN Mossack Fonseca was used to create more than 100,000 SUN companies. One of them was a front for a North Korean Bank SUN that was later sanctioned by the United States for SUN supporting the regime's illicit nuclear and ballistic SUN missile programme. According to the US, the BVI based front SUN company managed millions of dollars in transactions in SUN support of North Korea. SUN Other companies set up by on the island were used by a SUN billionaire businessman who is a cousin of Syrian President SUN Bashar Al Assad and who was sanctioned by the US for using SUN "intimidation and his close ties to the Assad regime at the SUN expense of ordinary Syrians." SUN Mossack Fonseca has said it never knowingly allowed the use SUN of its companies by individuals with any relationship with SUN North Korea or Syria and says it has operated beyond SUN reproach for 40 years and has never been charged with SUN criminal wrong-doing.

MON MON In October 2015, a group of housing activists - the MON Manchester Angels - broke into the defunct Manchester Stock MON Exchange and started living there illegally. They expected MON to be evicted by the building's new owners, Premier League MON footballers Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, who were midway MON through converting it into boutique hotel. But instead of MON action to get the squatters removed, the footballers decided MON to let them stay for the winter. Not everyone was happy with MON either party and the police were frequently called to MON incidents at the Stock Exchange, caused by rival groups of MON squatters. MON MON Politicians have been so concerned about the damage caused MON to commercial property that they want to make squatting in MON commercial buildings a criminal, rather than a civil MON offence. But with the number of empty commercial buildings MON reaching record numbers - estimated at more than 1.5 million MON in the UK - has this high profile philanthropic gesture by MON two of the world's most famous footballers challenged MON prevailing attitudes to squatting? MON MON Harriet Sergeant, columnist for the Daily Mail and a MON contributor to the right-leaning Centre for Policy Studies, MON investigates why co-operatives and collectives are choosing MON to occupy defunct commercial spaces and whether the use of MON empty commercial buildings could provide a short-term fix MON for the burgeoning housing crisis. MON MON Harriet talks to property developers, local authorities, MON leading academics, landlords, social groups and cooperatives MON using the example of the Manchester Stock Exchange to MON understand commercial squatting. Can it be harnessed to MON benefit cities, rather than seen chiefly as an anti social MON act?

These MON promises were enshrined in South Africa's post-apartheid MON constitution, the first in the world to outlaw all forms of MON discrimination. MON MON In 1994 Motshidisi Pascalina Melamu was born, making her one MON of the first of the so-called 'born free generation'. Pasca, MON as she was known, dreamed of becoming a politician, and MON studied hard at school. She loved singing, dancing and MON football. And girls - Pasca was a lesbian. MON MON In December last year, Pasca's body was found in a field. MON She had been beaten and mutilated. She was one of three MON LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex) MON people murdered in a six-week period last year.

MON MON 21:00 Rewinding the Menopause b0643vfl (Listen) MON Dr Aarathi Prasad looks at how new research into women's MON fertility may help stave off the menopause, improving health MON and quality of life. MON MON The conventional wisdom is that a woman has a finite number MON of eggs which begin dying off before she is even born. MON Researchers in the 1950s counted the number of healthy eggs MON in human ovaries over the course of a life time. After the MON menopause none remain. MON MON In 2004, Dr Jonathan Tilly's lab at the Massachusetts MON General Hospital challenged this assumption when they MON identified cells they believed could replenish a woman's MON bank of eggs. The research is controversial as it has yet to MON be convincingly replicated, although scientists like Dr MON Evelyn Telfer - once sceptical of Dr Tilly's claims - have MON isolated the cells and already produced some promising MON results. MON MON Meanwhile, medical colleagues in Edinburgh have been MON freezing ovarian tissue, harvested from patients who - MON either through illness or medical treatment such as MON chemotherapy - face an early menopause. The aim is to use MON the patient's ovarian tissue at a later date to reverse the MON menopause and restore their fertility. MON MON In the long-term, such research could have implications for MON all menopausal women. However, obstetrician Dr Susan Bewley MON warns that benefits could come at a cost. She believes the MON menopause is a natural part of aging and there are risks in MON trying to reverse it. MON MON So what might the future hold for the application of this MON new research?

TUE TUE This follows the BBC's discovery of an archive of Pakistani TUE Jihadist publications, which report in detail the links some TUE British Deobandi scholars have with militant organisations TUE in Pakistan.

TUE TUE Radio 4 announcer Kathy Clugston is anosmic and presents TUE this programme 'from the inside', giving a first hand TUE account of the condition. In this programme, Kathy sets out TUE on a personal mission to discover why she can't smell. She TUE has never before researched the extent to which smell guides TUE and shapes our lives, how we smell and what parts of the TUE brain are affected - for example, is her 'terrible memory' TUE connected to the condition? TUE TUE Referred to by the experts as the forgotten or neglected TUE sense, we reveal the seriousness of not being able to smell. TUE TUE Anosmia can be caused by a virus or a head injury, TUE allergies, polyps, or a brain tumour, but for many, TUE including Kathy, it is something that's missing from birth. TUE Sanguine as she is, Kathy knows she's vulnerable - "I've TUE left the gas on, fallen asleep with a pot on the stove". TUE TUE She adds, "As I got older I began to realise how much I miss TUE out on. People say "Oh, you can't smell B.O.! Lucky you!" TUE but then it dawns on them that I can't smell freshly brewed TUE coffee, newly cut grass, a baby's head, my partner's hair, a TUE rose. I can't catch a whiff of something and be instantly TUE transported back to my grandma's kitchen or an exotic TUE holiday. It's as if life has a missing layer."

With melancholy lyrics set to a bright and TUE unforgettable melody, it has since been covered hundreds of TUE times in countless languages. TUE TUE California peach farmer Mas Masumoto tells the story of his TUE family's internment in an Arizona relocation camp following TUE the bombing of Pearl Harbor and explains what the song meant TUE to him and many other Japanese-Americans in the years after TUE WWII. Violinist and composer Diana Yukawa plays the song as TUE a way to remember her father, who died in the same plane TUE crash that killed Kyu Sakamoto, the original singer of TUE 'Sukiyaki'. Michael Bourdaghs, author of 'Sayonara Amerika, TUE Sayonara Nippon', talks about the songwriting team behind TUE the song (Rokusuke Ei, Hachidai Nakamura and Kyu Sakamoto), TUE and the surprising roots of the song in the Japanese protest TUE movement of the early 1960s. TUE TUE Janice-Marie Johnson of A Taste of Honey talks about writing TUE an English version of the song and how she interpreted the TUE Japanese lyrics. Gemma Treharne-Foose speaks about her TUE experience of travelling to Japan from her home in the TUE Rhondda Valleys, and what the song came to mean to her. And TUE we hear the story of how Ue o Muite Arukou became a 'prayer TUE for hope' following the devastating earthquake and tsunami TUE that hit Japan in March 2011 from musician Masami TUE Utsunomiya.

TUE TUE At the end of March this year, the International Criminal TUE Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague is expected TUE to deliver a judgement for its highest profile defendant - TUE Radovan Karadžic. It comes 23 years after the Tribunal was TUE first set up by the UN and 20 years after its first TUE prosecution began. The ICTY was the first war crimes court TUE created by the UN and built on the legacy of the Nuremberg TUE and Tokyo tribunals. TUE TUE It was formed to investigate crimes committed during the TUE wars in the former Yugoslavia and to bring those responsible TUE to justice. It was seen as a pioneer in the field of TUE international justice and has indicted 161 people. TUE TUE But the ICTY is now preparing to close. A completion TUE strategy, put in place some years ago, will see it shut its TUE doors at the end of December 2017 . Outstanding cases will TUE be handed over to the recently formed Mechanism for TUE International Criminal Tribunals. TUE TUE BBC reporter Allan Little has spent much time at the ICTY TUE during his coverage of the Balkans conflict. In the wake of TUE the expected judgement on Karadžic and ahead of the ICTY's TUE closure, he explores the Tribunal's history, talks to those TUE who work there, and assesses its legacy. Has it been a model TUE for other forms of transitional justice? And how do people TUE in the Balkans, for whom it was hoped the court process TUE might bring closure, see its work? TUE TUE Allan visits the ICTY to talk to a range of people who staff TUE it. He visits the vast archives which hold 9 million TUE documents and also sees the holding cells outside the TUE courtrooms for those who are on trial. He also hears from TUE others who have studied the ICTY and who are experts in the TUE area of international justice. TUE TUE Producer: Emma Kingsley.

THU THU Featuring philosophers, playwrights, anthropologists, THU convicts and revolutionaries, At the Existentialist Café THU follows the existentialists' story - from the first THU rebellious spark through the Second World War, to its role THU in postwar liberation movements such as anticolonialism, THU feminism, and gay rights.

Another FRI in the series that proves it's surprising what you hear when FRI you listen. FRI FRI The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a FRI snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the FRI UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to FRI them about a subject they've never discussed intimately FRI before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK FRI by teams of producers from local and national radio stations FRI who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're FRI not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - FRI lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key FRI moment of connection between the participants. Most of the FRI unedited conversations are being archived by the British FRI Library and used to build up a collection of voices FRI capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade FRI of the millennium. You can learn more about The Listening FRI Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject FRI FRI Producer: Marya Burgess. FRI
