SAT SAT It is said that Lewis enjoyed wandering here while writing SAT his children's book series which includes The Lion, the SAT Witch and the Wardrobe and that he and his brother 'Warnie' SAT planted trees amongst the woodland. The reserve - now owned SAT and managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and SAT Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust - was Lewis's back garden. At SAT that time, the area of Risinghurst was a rural escape on the SAT fringes of Oxford. Today, with the A40 nearby and surrounded SAT by houses, this small area of land has managed to keep its SAT sense of stillness. SAT SAT Lewis's red brick home 'The Kilns', still nestles to the SAT edge of the reserve. Today it is cared for by The CS Lewis SAT Foundation and as Helen discovers, it still holds strong SAT memories for CS Lewis's former secretary and friend, Walter SAT Hooper. SAT SAT CS Lewis was laid to rest in the grounds of the church where SAT he worshipped, just a short walk away, at Holy Trinity SAT Church Headington Quarry. SAT SAT Including interviews with Reserve Warden Mark Bradfield, SAT local historian Mike Stranks, Rev David Beckmann and Walter SAT Hooper.

Around SAT the world there are an estimated 800m non-native speakers of SAT English and the number is growing all the time. SAT SAT Through talking to French, German, Brazilian and even SAT American expats based in the UK, Henning discovers that just SAT having the English vocabulary and grasping of grammar SAT doesn't really help foreigners understand the nuanced, SAT elliptical way that the British speak their own language. SAT SAT From Japanese estate agents to French web entrepreneurs, SAT non-native English speakers are baffled by the way the SAT natives communicate using humour, obscure idioms based on SAT cricket or rugby, and the understated codes of class and SAT status. SAT SAT Henning talks to academics and consultants in the SAT fast-growing field of ELF and learns that it is rapidly SAT developing a grammar and structure of its own - often not SAT understood by those who have grown up speaking English.

SAT He uses small, simple robots – ‘swarmbots’ – to work SAT together without an overall blueprint to carry out a variety SAT of tasks.

SAT SAT The number of female band members considered among the best SAT in the business can be counted on one hand. But as far back SAT as the 1960s, when women working in traditionally male SAT circles were few and far between, one of the most respected SAT and in-demand session musicians in Los Angeles was bassist SAT Carol Kaye. SAT SAT Carol played on such classic tracks as The Monkees' I'm A SAT Believer, Ike and Tina Turner's River Deep Mountain High, SAT The Righteous Brothers' You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', SAT Barbra Streisand's The Way We Were and The Beach Boys' SAT California Girls- - as well as most of Pet Sounds and Smile. SAT She also played on the themes from Batman, Mission SAT Impossible and Born Free, along with some 10,000 other SAT sessions - all the while bringing up a family as a divorced SAT single mother. SAT SAT Though not a household name, she is highly respected by her SAT peers. Paul McCartney has spoken of how much her melodic SAT bass playing on Pet Sounds influenced him, while Sting has SAT said he learned to play bass from one of the several books SAT she wrote on the subject. SAT SAT She will be 80 this month, yet continues to teach via Skype SAT from her home in Rosamond, California. SAT SAT The program includes Carol Kaye's recollections of the SAT musicians and producers she has worked with, along with SAT comment from some of the female musicians she may have been SAT a role model for - such as David Bowie's bass player Gail SAT Ann Dorsey and Talking Heads' bassist Tina Weymouth.

SAT SAT It was a surprise to many that a relative unknown was set to SAT take on one of America's leading talk shows, but Noah's star SAT has been rising fast in recent years. SAT SAT Already a well-known face on British TV and radio, thanks to SAT his award-winning Edinburgh Fringe show back in 2012, the SAT 31-year-old has certainly shown the confidence to take on SAT one of TV's biggest jobs - critics might call it arrogance. SAT SAT Young, good looking, mixed race - Noah is said to be an SAT ad-man's dream, and it's said Comedy Central will be looking SAT to cash in on his global appeal. However, his reputation has SAT already been slightly tarnished as the media began to dig SAT into his Twitter feed and found some distasteful jokes. SAT SAT Noah said he shouldn't be judged on gags which didn't land, SAT and his new bosses backed him up - but whether those same SAT execs will be quite as forgiving once he takes the hotseat SAT is yet to be seen. SAT SAT Trevor Noah says he is a fan of rollercoaster rides. He SAT loves them so much, he often builds his comedy tours around SAT cities that have the biggest rides. His fantasy is a chair SAT that spins while doing a 360 degree loop and a backwards SAT somersault. SAT SAT Stepping into Jon Stewart's shoes just might provide his SAT scariest ride yet. SAT SAT Presenter: Mark Coles SAT Producer: Richard Fenton-Smith. SAT SAT 19:15 Saturday Review b05pbxk2 (Listen) SAT Death of a Salesman, While We're Young, Alfred Hitchcock, SAT Frames in Focus, Sex and the Church SAT SAT Arthur Miller's Pullitzer prize winning 1949 play, Death of SAT a Salesman, set in Brooklyn in New York, is one of the SAT greatest American tragedies ever written. In a production to SAT celebrate the centenary of Miller's birth at the Royal SAT Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford on Avon, Artistic Director SAT Greg Doran directs Anthony Sher as Willy Loman, Harriet SAT Walter as his wife Linda and Alex Hassel as their son Biff. SAT How well does this production portray the darkness that lies SAT at the heart of the American dream? SAT Oscar nominated for The Squid and the Whale, "While We're SAT Young" is Noah Baumbach's 8th feature film, and his second SAT collaboration with star Ben Stiller. A comedy about the SAT generational divide in a technologically driven age - what SAT new insights does it provide on the perennial conflict SAT between age and youth? SAT Award winning novelist, biographer and poet Peter Ackroyd's SAT turns his attention to Alfred Hitchcock in a new biography SAT which details the director's stormy, controlling SAT relationships with his leading ladies, as well the SAT painstaking way in which he mastered his cinematic craft SAT manifest in such cinema classics as Notorious, Rear Window, SAT Psycho and The Birds. What new light can the "Master of SAT Biography" shed upon the "Master of Suspense?" SAT When you go to see an exhibition at the National Gallery in SAT London you expect to see paintings. However in Frames in SAT Focus: Sansovino Frames it is the frames themselves that are SAT the stars of the show - one of the first times ever a UK SAT gallery has created an exhibition (almost) purely from SAT frames alone. What does this exhibition reveal about the art SAT of the picture frame? SAT And a new BBC 2 television series, Sex and The Church, SAT explores the complex question of the church's attitude SAT towards sex from the birth of Jesus to the present day, SAT presented by Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch.

Does its alternate universe SAT stimulate creativity, or make them disengage from planet SAT Earth? SAT SAT To the adult onlooker, Minecraft might seem to be a SAT low-resolution digital version of Lego, albeit one where you SAT never run out of blocks and they never topple over. Yet it's SAT very different: here you can walk among your own creations, SAT play online with other people who are in the same world, and SAT battle monsters when they come out after dark. SAT SAT But many parents worry that their children find the SAT Minecraft universe so rewarding that they are losing SAT interest in the real world, in face to face contact, or in SAT non-screen-based play. Even when not playing the game SAT themselves, millions of children enjoy watching other people SAT playing, in Youtube videos. SAT SAT And there's a darker side to Minecraft - one in which SAT children are "griefed" by having their digital property SAT vandalised or stolen, and older teenagers go online SAT specifically to bully younger children and post the SAT resulting videos. Minecraft seems to be inducting children SAT into a world with property but no policemen. SAT SAT But the things children are building in Minecraft are SAT extraordinary, and their commitment to understanding the SAT game and mastering its technicalities is impressive. Rather SAT than having a moral panic about it, maybe we should be SAT harnessing children's enthusiasm and taking Minecraft into SAT schools, as some educationalists propose? SAT SAT Presenter/producer: Jolyon Jenkins.

They feel SUN misunderstood by friends and family members and judged by SUN society for having a child who is incontinent. SUN The children’s continence charity, ERIC, helps children and SUN families manage or overcome continence difficulties. ERIC SUN provides information and support; hosts online forums for SUN sufferers to share their experiences; trains health SUN professionals to better understand and treat childhood SUN incontinence; and campaigns to raise awareness of the SUN condition and improve continence care. SUN SUN Giving support and information SUN SUN The ERIC helpline is a lifeline for families who don’t know SUN where else to turn for help and support with managing their SUN child’s wetting or soiling problem.

SUN SUN Many Anglicans, many Christians, across the UK, are giving SUN particular thanks today, because in some special way this SUN Easter morning captures the freshness and joy of that first SUN Easter. SUN SUN There’s something genuinely new and life-giving in the air! SUN SUN We look forward to hearing Libby Lane’s first Easter sermon SUN as a bishop. SUN SUN But our central focus is on our Lord Jesus Christ himself. SUN SUN This season has a unique place in our church’s year, SUN focusing our attention on the central beliefs of the SUN Christian faith, and reminding us that our Easter faith is SUN more than simply that God raised Jesus from the dead – it is SUN also that Jesus has been taken into Glory, and the Holy SUN Spirit has been poured out into the world. SUN SUN SUN Alleluia! Christ is risen. SUN He is risen indeed Alleluia! SUN SUN Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. SUN He has given us new life and hope.

Whoever SUN does not love does not know God, for God is love. God’s love SUN was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son SUN into the world so that we might live through him. In this is SUN love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent SUN his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, SUN since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one SUN another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, SUN God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.

SUN SUN When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the SUN mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they SUN might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of SUN the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. SUN They had been saying to one another, ‘Who will roll away the SUN stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?’ When they SUN looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, SUN had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they SUN saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the SUN right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, ‘Do SUN not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who SUN was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, SUN there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples SUN and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there SUN you will see him, just as he told you.’ So they went out and SUN fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized SUN them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

SUN SUN When former MI5 officer Peter Wright tried to publish his SUN memoirs in 1985, Margaret Thatcher's government were SUN determined to stop him. So began an almighty legal battle SUN that cost the taxpayer millions of pounds and ultimately SUN made Spycatcher an international bestseller. SUN SUN The action played out in courts in Australia and New SUN Zealand, and continued in Britain and Europe as the SUN government tried to stop newspapers printing details that SUN were by now very public knowledge. SUN SUN The British Cabinet Secretary Sir Robert Armstrong was SUN subjected to a two-week cross-examination in which he SUN admitted being "economical with the truth" when necessary. SUN It soon became clear that what was on trial was not just SUN Peter Wright - but the Official Secrets Act itself. And if SUN you were in Australia, it was also the entire British SUN establishment. SUN SUN Sir Robert - now Lord Armstrong - joins Sue MacGregor to SUN remember that momentous battle at the end of his career. SUN They are joined by the book's ghostwriter Paul Greengrass, SUN now a director of Hollywood films such as The Bourne SUN Supremacy and Captain Phillips; former MI5 chief Stella SUN Rimington, whose time as Director of Counter-Espionage was SUN "largely dominated" by the case; Brian Perman, Managing SUN Director of the publishers Heinemann; and journalist Richard SUN Norton-Taylor who covered the case for the Guardian.

As the US Dietary SUN Advisory Committee drops its advice on restricting egg SUN consumption Sheila Dillon asks if we're falling back in love SUN with the egg. Similar limits in the UK were lifted several SUN years ago after evidence suggested their cholesterol did not SUN have a significant effect on our blood cholesterol after SUN all. SUN SUN The amount we eat in the UK is now continuing to rise and SUN the trend for keeping hens at home or in community projects SUN has seen many people collecting their own too. Sheila Dillon SUN asks if the humble egg is breaking free of a tarnished SUN reputation and proving itself to be a versatile protein SUN provider worth celebrating. SUN SUN She hears reports from US where yolk-dodgers have demanded SUN white-only 'heart healthy omelettes' and similar concoctions SUN while in Silicon Valley a 'solution' to the egg has been SUN created in a plant protein based alternative which they SUN claim can mimic many of the egg's functions. SUN SUN But back in the UK she finds a more celebratory atmosphere - SUN a major retailer has begun supplying guaranteed double SUN yolkers, Neil Rankin, founder of 'Bad Egg' Restaurant has SUN kept his supplier in steady business while Genevieve Taylor SUN found her hens laid so many she had to create new recipes to SUN use them all. SUN Has the egg been given too much of a bad rap and is now SUN breaking free and what does the future hold? SUN SUN Presented by Sheila Dillon and Produced in Bristol by SUN Anne-Marie Bullock. SUN SUN Genevieve Taylor's spicy fried eggs with tomatoes, avocado & SUN coriander SUN SUN This is just the sort of thing I often make for lunch if I’m SUN working at home - ready in just a few minutes, its quicker, SUN and to my mind way more satisfying, than a sandwich. If you SUN don’t have an avocado, simply leave it out, or substitute it SUN for something else, perhaps a handful of rocket or other SUN salad leaves. Be generous with the spices and herbs, they SUN are the making of this dish! I usually make this as a SUN solitary lunch and eat it straight from the pan to save on SUN washing up but do slide the lot onto a plate if you prefer. SUN SUN enough for 1 SUN *You need* SUN SUN a pinch each of cumin seeds & dried chilli flakes SUN SUN a good glug of olive oil SUN SUN a clove garlic, thinly sliced SUN SUN a handful of cherry tomatoes, halved SUN SUN 2 large eggs SUN SUN a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped coriander SUN SUN a ripe avocado, peeled & roughly chopped SUN SUN a dollop of Greek yogurt, full fat or half fat, as you SUN please SUN SUN salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste SUN SUN a sprinkle of smoked paprika, to taste SUN SUN SUN *What to do* SUN SUN Add the cumin and chilli flakes to a dry frying pan and set SUN over a medium heat. Allow to toast for about 30 second or SUN so. This step really wakes up the flavours in the spices so SUN is definitely worth the tiny bit of extra effort it takes. SUN Add the oil to the pan, followed by the garlic, and stir fry SUN for another 30 seconds or so. Then toss in the tomatoes and SUN keep stir frying for about a minute until they are just SUN softening. Push the tomatoes aside, making a little well, SUN then crack in one of the eggs. Make another little well in SUN the tomatoes on the other side of the pan and crack in the SUN other egg. Season the tops of the eggs with a little salt SUN and pepper and a sprinkle of smoked coriander, to taste and SUN allow the eggs to cook over a medium low heat for a few SUN minutes until they are set to your liking. Turn off the heat SUN and scatter over the avocado and coriander. Finally dollop SUN the yogurt into the middle of the pan and tuck in whilst its SUN piping hot. SUN SUN SUN SUN Genevieve Taylor's hot cross bun & butter pudding, with SUN pears & dark chocolate SUN SUN Bread and butter pudding is a complete leftovers classic, SUN and a pack of slightly stale hot cross buns - the result of SUN one of those buy one get one free offers we're all suckers SUN for - was the inspiration for this easy treat. Perfect SUN comfort food for an Easter thats not quite as warm as we SUN might hope. SUN *You need * SUN SUN 5 hot cross buns SUN SUN about 50g butter SUN SUN 2 juicy pears SUN SUN 100g dark chocolate SUN SUN 400ml milk SUN SUN 4 large eggs SUN SUN a pinch each of grated nutmeg & cinnamon SUN SUN a tablespoon of demerara sugar SUN SUN SUN *What to do* SUN SUN Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / gas 4) SUN SUN Slice the buns downwards, from top to bottom, so that each SUN is cut into about 5 one centimetre thick pieces. Butter each SUN slice - be generous, the butter will add a richness that SUN this pudding deserves and it means you can happily use just SUN milk rather than a mixture of milk and cream. Arrange the SUN buttered slices into a deep baking dish, overlapping them in SUN rows so they resemble fish scales. SUN SUN Peel and core the pears and cut each into 8 wedges, tucking SUN them between the hot cross bun slices. Break up the SUN chocolate into pieces and tuck those in too. SUN SUN Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk in 400ml milk, whole or SUN semi, as you wish. Add a little extra grated nutmeg and SUN ground cinnamon to taste. Pour gently into the dish, SUN allowing it to slowly soak through the gaps as you go. SUN Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and bake in the oven for SUN about 30-35 minutes. Cover the top loosely with foil after SUN about 25 minutes if it looks to be getting a little dark. It SUN is done when the custard has just set but still has a slight SUN wobble. Serve warm from the oven.

Polytunnels are quite SUN sturdy as they are held down by the soil on either side. SUN Q. Could you recommend a seed potato suitable for a small SUN garden? Last year slugs attacked my potatoes. SUN A. Bob - When I have grown lots of potatoes, Cara seems to SUN have been attacked more than other types. Try rocket as it SUN provides quick crops and is a good potato for boiling. Try SUN putting out some old vegetables as bait for the slugs and to SUN distract them from your crop. SUN Bunny – I would go for new potatoes. For the new potato SUN taste later in the year, try Pink Fir Apple. Anya is a good SUN flavourful, waxy potato. SUN Q. What can I plant beneath Copper Beech trees for some SUN summer colour? SUN A. Matthew – They are very shallow rooting and have a large SUN root network. They tend to remove any goodness from the soil SUN and prefer thinner soils. The copper beech will remove even SUN more light than the standard beech. Bulbs will be the best SUN option if you plant them in dense carpets, starting with SUN snowdrops, crocus and small narcissi. You could also add SUN cvyclamen. Add a layer of organic mulch to prevent damage to SUN the root system. SUN Bunny – For a more exotic option, try planting Lilium SUN Martagon. They do very well in dry, shaded areas. For some SUN ground cover, try Euonymus Silver Queen with its variegated SUN leaves. Brunnera have many varieties and pretty blue SUN flowers. Provide them with long soaks regularly. SUN Q. I run a plant-growing scheme and have a sale in SUN September. Could the panel recommend some plants that will SUN be ready in time? SUN Bob – The Parrot Plant or Congo Cockatoo plant would work. SUN They are part of Busy Lizzie family and root very easily. SUN Matthew – Pennisetum Rubrum is a very impressive grass. It SUN should be taken indoors over winter. SUN Q. What is the best way to propagate Camellias? SUN A. Matthew – They produce decent seed. I use sand paper on SUN the seed first, place them in a tray with some vermiculite SUN and place outside. SUN Bunny – Take cuttings in late summer and take newer growth. SUN Put it in a tray of fifty grit and fifty peat. They do well SUN in a mist house, but you can use a polybag instead. SUN Matthew – They are prone to disease so be very vigilant.

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 SUN Set in the 1840s, The Quickening Maze tells the story of the SUN poet John Clare, and his incarceration at High Beach Asylum SUN in London's Epping Forest. Run by the charismatic and SUN reformist Dr Matthew Allen, its principles include SUN occupational and talking therapies. Based on real life SUN events, amongst the patients is Septimus Tennyson, brother SUN to the young poet Alfred Tennyson. The Tennysons suffered SUN from the English affliction : depression, and Alfred moves SUN to be near his brother, and enjoy the peace of the forest. SUN SUN In the programme Foulds describes how his discovery of SUN Tennyson and Clare being at the asylum at the same time SUN inspired the novel, and how the closed world of the asylum SUN is a gift for a novelist. He grew up on the edges of the SUN forest himself and spent his teenage years birdwatching SUN there, before he discovered a love of poetry. SUN SUN This intensely lyrical novel draws on John Clare's love of SUN nature, how the Enclosure laws of the time contributed to SUN his alienation and the deterioration of his mental health SUN after a lifetime's struggle with alcohol and critical SUN neglect. Foulds shows us Nature's paradise outside the SUN walls, and Clare's dreams of home, of redemption and escape. SUN SUN May's Bookclub choice : In the Country of Men by Hisham SUN Matar.

SUN SUN In the summer of 1914, while Europe imploded, London's art SUN scene burst into life. The Vorticists had arrived - a SUN radical and iconoclastic art movement that wanted to destroy SUN the old and champion the modern. Lead by the pugnacious SUN genius Wyndham Lewis, they declared war on the Victorian SUN hangover which blighted British art. The classist nude and SUN the twee landscape were dead, they claimed, it was time for SUN art to reflect the beauty of the modern industrialised SUN world. SUN SUN The arrival of the Vorticists was announced by the Blast SUN manifesto, a bright pink sneering lament aimed firmly at the SUN art world. The manifesto contained extensive lists of the SUN things they loved ('Blessed') and hated ('Blasted'). SUN SUN The Vorticists brought more to London than just personal SUN attacks and vitriol. Their radical art was abstract, SUN embracing modernist cubist influences. Jacob Epstein's rock SUN drill was a seminal piece, a statue which integrated man and SUN machine in a warlike expression of power and virility. SUN SUN The Vorticists are not well known today. Just 33 days after SUN the manifesto was published, war was declared on Germany. SUN The resulting destruction overshadowed Blast's nonconformist SUN demands and the movement's radical energy could never be SUN rekindled. SUN SUN John Cooper Clarke relives Vorticism, the Edwardian youth SUN movement cut short by cataclysmic events. Speaking to young SUN artists, historians and a 94 year-old Princess, he shines a SUN light on one of the most radical chapters in modern British SUN art. SUN SUN Producer: Harry Graham SUN A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN 17:00 Inside the Sex Offenders' Prison b05nvfr9 (Listen) SUN The documentary film-maker Rex Bloomstein gains SUN unprecedented access to HMP Whatton in Nottinghamshire, the SUN largest sex offender prison in Europe, to investigate how SUN its inmates are rehabilitated for release. SUN SUN There are now more sex offenders in the prison system than SUN ever before - around 11, 000 out of a total prison SUN population of nearly 86,000 in England and Wales. HMP SUN Whatton, with its capacity of 841 prisoners, is a specialist SUN treatment centre for sex offenders - 70% of whom have SUN committed offences against children, the rest against SUN adults. SUN SUN Rex Bloomstein has been given a unique opportunity to SUN explore the methods used to get prisoners to confront their SUN offending behaviour and to prepare them to go back into the SUN community. SUN SUN The prison's governor Lynn Saunders describes Whatton as "a SUN great leveller, prisoners come from all walks of life". SUN Offenders against both children and adults are mixed SUN together in the prison's many Sex Offender Treatment SUN Programmes. SUN SUN Candid interviews with prisoners are at the heart of this SUN documentary as they reveal the impact of these treatment SUN programmes. SUN SUN But Bloomstein discovers a paradox. Many sex offenders feel SUN intense shame and guilt about their crimes as society would SUN expect - however, he learns that such emotions can be a huge SUN barrier to the treatment process, as Whatton's staff work SUN hard to restore offenders' self-esteem which is deemed SUN crucial to their rehabilitation. SUN SUN As the majority of Whatton's prisoners will be released, SUN Bloomstein ultimately considers the issue of risk - how SUN certain can we be that these men won't commit terrible SUN crimes again?

SUN SUN 19:45 Liars' League b05pl72c (Listen) SUN The Last Curse SUN SUN The Liars' League, which launched in 2007, is a live short SUN story event now spanning the globe. 'Liars' because in a SUN sense fiction and acting are both lies - and a 'league' SUN because a company of actors and writers work to bring an SUN evening of themed stories to an audience, once a month in SUN London, New York and Hong Kong. SUN SUN This is the first of three stories recorded at the Liars' SUN League events. In London the theme is 'Boom and Bust', in SUN New York it's 'Entrances and Exits', and in Hong Kong - SUN where we begin - it's 'Cruelty and Mercy'. SUN SUN Each story brings a distinct flavour of its country of SUN origin - of the culture, people and concerns. Each is SUN populated by ubiquitous skyscrapers and familiar SUN corporations and brands, but at the same time beats to an SUN older rhythm of the people and their traditions - from a SUN Catholic boyhood in New York, through life in London's SUN drabber suburbs, to old traditions surviving amidst the SUN bustle of modern Hong Kong. SUN SUN In The Last Curse by Peng Shepherd, we are introduced to the SUN 'villain hitters' - old women who sit in the shadow of a SUN motorway underpass in the very heart of Hong Kong.

Our guests MON include Robin Latchem, the editor of materials recycling MON world and Jacob Hayler is the executive director of the MON environmental services association which represents waste MON collectors and processors. MON MON And how does the role of design affect recycling and could MON we actually design waste out? MON At the Royal Society for Arts they think it can be done. MON They have set up a the Great Recovery project in their Fab MON Lab to investigate the role of design in the circular MON economy. Our reporter Pete Ross went to meet Sophie Thomas MON co-director of design at the RSA. MON MON You might remember when fridge mountains were everywhere. MON Well some people fear they may be making a return. Six years MON ago the European union introduced the improbably named Weee MON directive. It stands for waste, electrical and electronic MON equipment. And basically says things like fridges, washing MON machines and so on shouldn't end up in landfill. But should MON be recycled safely. They contain hazardous chemicals which MON need to be specially treated. But it's emerged that some MON scrap metal dealers are handling them illegally. Our MON presenter Melanie Abbott went to an electrical recycling MON plant to find out more. MON MON There are seven large companies operating in the waste MON collection industry. And the largest of them is the French MON company Veolia. It has over 55 facilities in the UK and MON Ireland. And does everything from running municipal tips to MON recycling. We talk to Estelle Brachlianoff, Senior Executive MON Vice-President of Veolia in the UK & Ireland. MON MON The average family in the UK wastes £60 worth of food every MON month. That's an entire meal every day. The charity Love MON Food Hate Waste wants people to think more about the food MON they're chucking in the bin. To do that they've recruited TV MON Chef Richard Fox. He's been visiting towns across Greater MON Manchester teaching people to cook with their leftover MON dinners, squidgy fruit and browning veggies. Our reporter MON Lydia Thomas went to meet him at a cooking demonstration in MON Bolton Market. MON MON 12:57 Weather b05pkltp (Listen) MON The latest weather forecast.

MON MON Before The Killing, True Detective and The X Files, there MON was Twin Peaks. The programme made its debut in America in MON the spring of 1990. By the time it arrived in the UK six MON months later, millions of people in Britain too were asking MON 'Who killed Laura Palmer? MON MON At first glance Twin Peaks simply looked to be a quirky MON murder mystery. But it soon revealed itself to be much, much MON more. Its creators David Lynch and Mark Frost brought the MON experimental edge of art house cinema into the living room, MON and though the series ran for only 15 months, its 30 MON episodes changed the television landscape and popular MON culture forever. MON MON It's been 25 years since we first entered the 'cherry pie' MON logging town and met Agent Dale Cooper, the Log Lady, and MON the terrifying Bob. To mark the anniversary Danny will have MON 'water-cooler moments' with Lynch-inspired director Richard MON Ayoade and crime writer Denise Mina. We'll pay homage to the MON soundtrack that influenced musicians from the 90s to today MON with DJ Rob da Bank. Andy Burns, author of Twin Peaks MON history Wrapped in Plastic, explains how the programme still MON ripples through popular culture today. And Dr Kirsty MON Fairclough-Isaacs, senior lecturer in media and performance MON at Salford University, gives us a lesson on how Twin Peaks MON transformed television.

MON MON 21:00 The Lariam Legacy b05nv242 (Listen) MON An investigation into why the Ministry of Defence continues MON to use a drug that has been shown to cause psychosis, MON hallucinations, paranoia and confusion. MON MON Lariam, also known by its generic name Mefloquine, is a MON highly effective anti-malarial drug, but in some people it MON can cause unpleasant neuropsychiatric reactions, problems MON with balance and vision, tinnitus and seizures. The drug MON manufacturer warns that, "Lariam may cause serious mental MON problems in some people". It also reports a link between MON Lariam and suicide. MON MON In 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration applied the MON most serious kind of warning to the drug label, adding that MON the neurologic side effects may "persist or become MON permanent". US Special Forces soon banned the drug and MON launched an investigation into potential cases that may have MON been previously overlooked or misdiagnosed. MON MON The wider US Army has "drastically reduced" its use of MON mefloquine, prescribing it only to soldiers who cannot MON tolerate the alternative anti-malarial drugs - as is also MON the case in Australia. MON MON So why does the MOD continue to issue it to approximately MON 2,500 British Service Personnel each year? And is enough MON being done to ensure its safe use by British Armed Forces?

WED I haven't told them this, but they are sort of like my own WED grand-parents.

Claire Bolderson THU reports on a network of ninety separate cities in St Louis THU County, most of which have their own courts and police THU forces. Critics say that their size makes them financially THU unviable and allege that some of them boost their incomes by THU fining their own citizens and locking them up when they THU can't pay. THU THU This edition of Crossing Continents goes out and about in St THU Louis County to meet the people who say they are victims of THU a system which sees arrest warrants issued for relatively THU minor misdemeanours. Many of the victims are poor and black. THU The programme also takes us into the courts, and out onto THU the freeways with some of the County's police, who say they THU are upholding the law and promoting road safety. THU THU The US government is not so sure. One of the towns in THU question is Ferguson where riots erupted after a white THU police officer shot a young black man dead last summer. In a THU recent report on the riots, the Department of Justice THU concluded that the Ferguson police had been stopping people THU for no good reason.

Hobbes THU argued that the only way to secure peace was for everyone to THU give up their personal freedom and agree to be ruled by a THU "sovereign". Otherwise, he said, life was liable to be THU "nasty, brutish and short", with everyone at war with THU everyone else. THU THU In fact, none of us has actually signed a contract to give THU up our freedom, so what if we disagree with what the state THU wants to do? David looks at the case of the "naked rambler", THU Stephen Gough, who is currently in Winchester prison because THU he refuses to wear clothes in public. Gough benefits from THU the protection of the state, so is he obliged to stick to THU social norms as his part of the bargain? THU THU David also looks at "bitcoins" - the digital currency that THU operates outside the control of any government. Is bitcoin THU world a libertarian utopia, or a reminder of what Hobbes was THU talking about: that without someone to lay down the law, you THU end up with violence and rampant criminality?

FRI FRI 11:30 Paul Temple and the Gregory Affair b0376jjx (Listen) FRI Mr Davos Has an Alibi FRI FRI Part 4 of a new production of a vintage serial from 1946. FRI FRI From 1938 to 1968, Francis Durbridge's incomparably suave FRI amateur detective Paul Temple and his glamorous wife Steve FRI solved case after baffling case in one of BBC radio's most FRI popular series. Sadly, only half of Temple's adventures FRI survive in the archives. FRI FRI In 2006 BBC Radio 4 brought one of the lost serials back to FRI life with Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson as Paul and FRI Steve. Using the original scripts and incidental music, and FRI recorded using vintage microphones and sound effects, the FRI production of Paul Temple and the Sullivan Mystery aimed to FRI sound as much as possible like the 1947 original might have FRI done if its recording had survived. The serial proved so FRI popular that it was soon followed by three more revivals, FRI Paul Temple and the Madison Mystery, Paul Temple and Steve, FRI and A Case for Paul Temple. FRI FRI Now, from 1946, it's the turn of Paul Temple and the Gregory FRI Affair, in which Paul and Steve go on the trail of the FRI mysterious and murderous Mr Gregory. FRI FRI Episode 4: Mr Davos has an Alibi FRI FRI Another death - and this time the killer comes very close to FRI home.

FRI FRI 12:04 A History of Ideas b05prkh1 (Listen) FRI Historian Alice Taylor on Habeas Corpus FRI FRI Historian Alice Taylor explores the idea of justice through FRI history, through the lens of power. Who holds the power? Who FRI SHOULD hold the power? Who does that power serve? And who FRI should it protect? FRI FRI Once way in which the justice system can remove the power of FRI a citizen is by locking them up, but there are strict laws FRI about how and when that can be done. The writ of Habeas FRI Corpus, part of our legal system since the time of Magna FRI Carta, is designed to protect subjects from being imprisoned FRI unlawfully. But who this writ really serves is a more FRI complicated question. Alice follows the legal and historical FRI paper trail to find out who really decides what justice is.
