Aarathi Prasad takes us through the myriad SAT medicinal worlds - from a bonesetters' clinic in Hyderabad, SAT where breaks but not fractures are reset, via a shrine in SAT the Dharavi megaslum (just outside of Mumbai) where the SAT goddess Kali rules, to a fish doctor in Secunderabad who SAT makes patients swallow live fish and a remarkable SAT neuroscientist, Pawan Sinha, whose venture 'Project Prakash' SAT has helped thousands of Indian children to see for the first SAT time.

SAT SAT The floods have recently devastated parts of Britain. But SAT what if the flood waters never subsided?

SAT SAT Punk is viewed principally as a London phenomenon. The Sex SAT Pistols in particular are synonymous with the capital, but SAT their UK touring career outside the capital was book-ended SAT by two shows more than 200 miles away. SAT SAT On Wednesday 19 May 1976, six months before the release of SAT their first single, the Sex Pistols performed at Sayer's SAT nightclub in the sleepy market town of Northallerton in SAT North Yorkshire. Just 19 months later, on Christmas Day SAT 1977, the band made their last UK appearance, at Ivanhoe's, SAT a small club in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. SAT SAT Music fan and experienced journalist/broadcaster, Mark SAT Hodkinson, visit both towns and speaks to people who were at SAT the gigs. He plots the impact of punk in the provinces where SAT thousands of disgruntled teenagers heeded The Clash's SAT entreaty to the 'faraway towns' to 'come out of the SAT cupboard, you boys and girls' ("London Calling"). SAT SAT Brian Simpson was the DJ at Sayer's which, in the weeks SAT leading up to the Sex Pistols visit, had played host to SAT Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders and The Searchers. Along SAT with Steve Williams, who was also at the gig, he remembers SAT people leaving the club in droves when the Sex Pistols began SAT playing. ''We had no idea who they were,'' he says. SAT ''Northallerton was suddenly at the forefront of punk rock SAT but we had no idea that we were. It was about two weeks SAT later when I saw their picture in one of the music papers SAT that I realised I'd seen them play.'' SAT SAT A Smooth Operations production for BBC Radio 4.

SAT What is the relationship between stand-up comedy and mental SAT health? SAT SAT "A room filled with comedians standing in silence is rarity, SAT especially after midnight during the Edinburgh Fringe, but SAT this was a scene across the bars and venues when the news of SAT Robin Williams' suicide broke. The death of a comedian SAT resurrects the numerous images of the comedian surrounded by SAT laughter they have created, yet miserable themselves. SAT SAT "But how true is this image of the melancholy comedian? SAT While the lives of Kenneth Williams, Tony Hancock and Spike SAT Milligan are raked over with new books and documentaries SAT appearing on a yearly basis, hundreds of comedians seemingly SAT live and perform without facing anxiety that reaches SAT clinical levels. SAT SAT "Is the image of the sad comedian a comfort for an audience: SAT "they made us all laugh and brought so much joy, but don't SAT worry, they were wracked with existential agony for the rest SAT of their lives"? SAT SAT "Is pain required to create comedy, or would Spike Milligan SAT have created as much, if not more, absurd and delightful SAT comedy had he not been so frequently institutionalised? SAT SAT "Do plays and documentaries on comedians focus so much on SAT the bleak side of their existence that they create a false SAT vision of perpetual despair? SAT SAT "Is the act of being a comedian more of a cure than a SAT burden? While others may have no valve to release their SAT festering thoughts, the stand up can transform their SAT ludicrousness or burdensome thoughts into jokes. They are SAT able to laugh at, and with, themselves and even make money SAT out of it too. SAT SAT "Is comedy just like every other profession, or is there a SAT need for some loss or pain in childhood to create the SAT outsider who wishes to spend each night making themselves SAT face one of the top three fears of human beings, public SAT speaking? SAT SAT "Romantic vision, bitter truth, debatable myth - can we SAT really work out the formula that makes a comedian? SAT SAT "Give me the child until they are seven, and I will show you SAT the entertainer?" SAT SAT -Robin Ince, Aged 45 and 3/4.

SUN SUN 06:05 Something Understood b07cmlx3 (Listen) SUN Legitimacy SUN SUN Mark Tully asks what makes a government, a religion or even SUN a friendship legitimate. Why to we give power to others to SUN legislate for us, or take and spend our money, or tell us SUN what is right or wrong? SUN SUN With the help of a reading from Rumpole of the Bailey, Mark SUN considers what makes a legal system legitimate, with judges SUN who do not yield to the temptation to enrich themselves or SUN bend under pressure to please the government, courts who SUN deliver justice swiftly, and laws which are rightful. He SUN also suggests the qualities required of individual SUN politicians in strengthening the legitimacy of a government SUN - honesty and integrity, willingness to serve others rather SUN than pursue their own ambitions, and courage to do what they SUN believe in rather than what is popular. SUN SUN Music by Billy Bragg written during the miners' strike in SUN the UK in the 1980s, as well as a remarkable historical SUN account of popular resistance to heavy-handed military force SUN in 19th century London, illustrate the point made by the SUN author of The Right to Rule, Bruce Gilley, that, "Rightful SUN rule is rule that is consistent with the moral expectations SUN of a political community." SUN SUN Or, as Rousseau would have it, "The strongest is never SUN strong enough to be the master unless he translates strength SUN into right and obedience into duty." SUN SUN A Unique production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN 06:35 The Living World b07cmlx5 (Listen) SUN River Dippers SUN SUN Chris Packham relives programmes from The Living World SUN archives.

Joining Lionel as he looks out for this SUN plump-little-stub-tailed-bird, bobbing up and down in the SUN cascading water is otter expert Geoff Lyles and Stephanie SUN Tyler from the RSPB. SUN SUN Dippers are slowly recolonising some once polluted rivers, SUN but it is a complex story for the poetically named water SUN ouzel. In some rivers dipper numbers are thought to be SUN declining due to changes in water quality or exposure to SUN 'more modern' pollutants such as flame retardants or excess SUN nutrient run off.

SUN SUN 08:10 Sunday Worship b07cmlx9 (Listen) SUN A Question of Conscience SUN SUN On the 29th May, 1916, the Revd Andrew Martlew's second SUN cousin, Alfred, was marched from his tiny cell in Richmond SUN Castle in North Yorkshire and sent to France to be shot. SUN SUN To mark the centenary of the Richmond Sixteen, a group of SUN men who refused to take up arms during World War I, Andrew, SUN a former army chaplain himself, leads worship reflecting on SUN the idea of conscience with hymns including: Lead Kindly SUN Light and I Vow to thee my Country and music from Karl SUN Jenkins' "The Armed Man" alongside prayers and Bible SUN readings: Joel 3:9-11 and Matthew 5:38-45. SUN SUN Andrew, traces the story of these men and the convictions SUN that drove them to defy both Church and state and the cruel SUN treatment they endured as a result. He explores key SUN locations around Yorkshire and is given exclusive access to SUN the cells in Richmond Castle where they were imprisoned. He SUN also reflects on his own military experience and the SUN decisions he made as an army chaplain. SUN SUN With interviews from both pacifists and military personnel, SUN he considers how we are guided by our conscience today and SUN how we can reach very different conclusions when faced with SUN the most testing moral decisions.

SUN SUN Script SUN SUN Door slam SUN SUN AM: On the 29th May, 1916, my second cousin Alfred Martlew SUN heard that sound for the last time. That was the day he and SUN his fellow Conscientious Objectors were taken from these SUN cells beneath Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire to France… SUN to be shot. SUN The last time I came here I was in uniform. It just before SUN I flew out to join my Regiment as an Army Chaplain for the SUN invasion of Iraq in 2003. SUN SUN This is an act of worship about conscience – not just theirs SUN then, but ours, now. SUN How far are you and I prepared to go for what we believe is SUN right? SUN That question of divided loyalties is well posed by our SUN opening hymn. The first verse is about loyalty to our SUN country, but the second about loyalty to something else, SUN something greater. SUN SUN Music: I vow to thee my country SUN Wallingford Parish Church SUN The Hymns Album SUN SUN AM: Let us pray SUN Heavenly Father, SUN may our ears be open to your word, SUN may our lives be true to our faith, SUN may our hearts be faithful to our calling to follow your SUN Son, SUN wherever your Holy Spirit leads us. SUN Amen SUN Interview with Megan Leyland SUN SUN AM: We’re standing in a cell, a straight forward cell, SUN whitewashed walls, a heavy wooden door. Outside life is SUN going on as normal; there’s a school party having a look SUN around Richmond Castle. But here we’re suddenly back into SUN 1916. And with me today is Megan Leyland from English SUN Heritage. SUN SUN Megan tell me about this place. SUN SUN ML: We’re standing in a block of 8 cells spread across two SUN floors in a building originally built as a reserve armoury SUN in the 19th century and positioned next to the grand SUN towering Norman keep of Richmond Castle. SUN This cell, first of all, it’s important to know it’s a SUN really confined space, we can just about reach from one side SUN of the cell to the other width wise. And smothered across SUN the wall are inscriptions, are drawings, are portraits, SUN stories written in pencil on the delicate Lyme washed walls. SUN And this is graffiti created some of it by Conscientious SUN Objectors to the First World War and some of it later in the SUN 20th Century. SUN SUN AM: Who’s this here? A picture of, a very well drawn picture SUN of a lady labelled Kathleen. SUN SUN ML: It’s not Kathleen, is the first thing to point out. SUN This is Annie Wainwright who was the fiancé of one of the SUN Conscientious Objectors who was held here, John Hubert SUN Brocklesby. And when he came to Richmond Castle, he refused SUN to peel potatoes for officers, he refused to go on parade, SUN he found himself in this cell and perhaps, thinking of home, SUN think of those he loved, he drew this beautiful drawing of SUN his fiancé, which actually, has later been relabelled as SUN Kathleen, perhaps by a soldier who was here later, another SUN Conscientious Objector who wanted to have some of that SUN comfort which perhaps Brocklesby found in the image of his SUN loved one. SUN SUN Over here on the opposite wall we have another image drawn SUN by Brocklesby however this one really clearly expresses his SUN religious beliefs; his religious reasons for objecting to SUN the war. He was a Methodist from Connisborough and a SUN teacher and evidently quite a good artist. Here we have a SUN man bent over, lying on the floor with a cross laid across SUN his back. Underneath is written “Every cross grows light SUN beneath the shadow Lord of thine.” SUN And, you know, there are words all over the wall offering SUN support to other conscientious objectors who came in, SUN offering solidarity, strength in their convictions. SUN SUN As you walk through the cells the more you look, the more SUN you see and actually you begin to notice that there are SUN verses from the bible and even whole hymns transcribed from SUN memory. SUN SUN AM: Did they sing? SUN SUN ML: Actually, yeah, we do know, they did sing from the Diary SUN of Norman Gaudie. He actually mentions a particular SUN situation where three Conscientious Objectors held here, SUN Brocklesby, Gaudie and Myers, sang a three part version of SUN Nearer My God to Thee here in the cells and actually, Myers SUN perhaps wasn’t keeping in time and the other prisoners were SUN banging on the floor to try and keep him in time with all SUN the other singing. SUN SUN MUSIC: Nearer my God to The SUN Bryn Terfel SUN Simple Gifts SUN SUN AM: Conscientious Objectors fell into two categories, those SUN motivated by religious faith – Methodists, Jehovah’s SUN Witnesses and, most of all, members of The Society of SUN Friends - Quakers. But there were also those who refused to SUN kill their fellow men, largely members of the Independent SUN Labour Party. My cousin Alfred was one of these. He was a SUN clerk in the Rowntree Cocoa Works in York and an SUN Absolutist. His original request for complete exemption SUN from any form of military service had been turned down. SUN This is what he wrote to the Appeal panel: SUN SUN Reader : I applied to the Local Tribunal for absolute and SUN complete exemption, on the grounds that I hold, and have SUN held for some years, a conscientious objection to warfare as SUN it involves the killing of human beings, which I firmly SUN believe is, from a moral, sociological and humanitarian SUN point of view, absolutely wrong, as it is in conflict with SUN the principle of the Brotherhood of Man and the solidarity SUN of the Human Race. The local tribunal granted me exemption SUN from ‘Combatant Service’ only, but I cannot consent to any SUN kind of ‘Non-Combatant Service’ under the Military Service SUN Act 1916, and I am prepared to be myself sacrificed, rather SUN than be the means of sacrificing others. SUN Signed, Alfred Martlew 16th March 1916 SUN SUN AM: His appeal for absolute exemption was dismissed. SUN Alfred was a socialist, but it was sometimes hard to SUN disentangle the religious from the political in the reasons SUN for conscientious objection. SUN One of the most powerful statements of the pacifist position SUN had been published in the journal of the Independent Labour SUN Party in September 1914. written by Dr Alfred Salter who SUN later became a Labour MP: SUN SUN Reader : Look! Christ in khaki, out in France thrusting his SUN bayonet into the body of a German workman. See! The Son of SUN God with a machine gun, ambushing a column of German SUN infantry, catching them unawares in a lane and mowing them SUN down in their helplessness. Hark! The Man of Sorrows in a SUN cavalry charge, cutting, hacking, thrusting, cheering. No! SUN No! That picture is an impossible one and we all know it! SUN SUN MUSIC: Kyrie from The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace SUN Karl Jenkins SUN National Youth Choir of Great Britain SUN London Philharmonic Orchestra SUN The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace SUN SUN AM: I’ve come out of the whitewashed cells into a small SUN stone building with a vaulted roof and a wonderful view out SUN across the river to the green hills beyond. This is the SUN chapel of Richmond Castle, very different to where we were SUN before. SUN And the “conchies” were very different to the rest of the SUN nation. SUN Although there were some Christian churches that supported SUN the pacifist position, the vast majority, certainly of the SUN Established Church, strongly backed the war effort. SUN Clergymen served on the Tribunals that refused to support SUN conscientious objectors, and Bishops preached sermons SUN encouraging men to volunteer for military service. The SUN German Army was committing atrocities in Belgium, and SUN British propaganda wasn’t underplaying its hand. So there SUN was a genuinely-held belief that this country was fighting SUN the barbarians, and churchmen could find biblical support SUN for their views. Here’s the Book of Joel: SUN SUN Reader SUN Proclaim this among the nations: SUN Prepare war! SUN Stir up the warriors! SUN Let all the soldiers draw near. Let them come up. SUN Beat your ploughshares into swords SUN and your pruning hooks into spears. SUN Let the weakling say, SUN “I am a warrior!” SUN Bring down your warriors O Lord. SUN SUN SUN SUN MUSIC: Sanctus from The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace SUN Karl Jenkins SUN National Youth Choir of Great Britain SUN London Philharmonic Orchestra SUN The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace SUN SUN AM: Just outside the castle is a memorial to the Richmond SUN Sixteen. They’d endured all manner of insults as they passed SUN through the hands of local Tribunals. These were men who SUN would have nothing at all to do with anything military, so SUN of course the first thing the Army did was to try and make SUN them wear uniform. Norman Gaudie had been a footballer – SUN he’d played centre forward for Sunderland. He was a member SUN of the Congregational Church and an Absolutist. On his way SUN to Richmond Castle he’d been taken to the barracks in Jarrow SUN and forced into uniform. He recorded what happened in his SUN diary: SUN SUN Reader SUN I was then taken to the Guard Room and there I regretted SUN having allowed them to dress me (in uniform), I at once SUN proceeded to take them off and with only my waistcoat, pants SUN and socks, sat awaiting developments; the guard had SUN evidently seen my antics through the watch-hole and he came SUN to ask me what I meant, did I refuse to wear them, I said SUN “Yes”, so he reported me. This brought a body of men SUN determined to put on the uniform. The original number did SUN not prove sufficient so they were supplemented by the guard SUN on duty, and a pair of handcuffs. SUN SUN My only regret on looking back is for a little incident SUN which I am sorry to say had a suggestion of spleen, and that SUN was my action in nodding my hat onto the ground after the SUN Corporal threatened to put me on a charge if I did so. I SUN remarked, “There, put in a charge”, and flopped the hat on SUN the floor” SUN SUN AM: So they sent him off, still handcuffed and with an SUN escort on the train to Richmond Castle. SUN SUN Another of the Richmond prisoners was Bert Brocklesby from SUN Conisborough in south Yorkshire. He was the prisoner who’d SUN drawn his fiancée on the cell wall. SUN Before the war he‘d been a teacher. He was a Methodist, SUN played the organ in his local Chapel and he was a popular SUN Lay Preacher – until, that is, he preached two pacifist SUN sermons and then the invitations dried up. Ironically his SUN journey into the military started in exactly the same place SUN as mine – in the barracks on Wakefield Road in Pontefract. SUN As soon as he arrived there he was surrounded by burly SUN soldiers who “persuaded” him to put his uniform on. In the SUN same place 70 years later, I was proud to put on my Army SUN Chaplain’s uniform for the first time. As part of my SUN Christian ministry. SUN SUN Bert, Norman and my cousin Alfred met for the first time in SUN the cells under Richmond Castle, but they didn’t stay there SUN long. SUN On May 29th 1916 the 16 prisoners were taken out of their SUN cells to begin their journey to France. They eventually got SUN to a camp on a windswept hill above Boulogne. It was full SUN of soldiers who’d just been in the trenches. The conchies SUN weren’t welcome. SUN SUN Music Lead Kindly Light SUN Malcolm Archer; Wells Cathedral Choir SUN The English Hymn Vol. 5 SUN AM: We’ve come from Richmond Castle just a very short step SUN into the middle of the Catterick training area. We’re SUN walking through a wood that, actually I’ve slept in and so, SUN on a different occasion, has the man I’m with. The Revd. SUN Nicholas Mercer is now an Anglican Priest but he used to be SUN Lieutenant Colonel Mercer, a senior army lawyer, in fact, SUN the Commander’s legal advisor when he and I went into Iraq SUN in 2003. SUN SUN But Nicholas, going back to 1916, and the Conscientious SUN Objectors, why were the absolutists taken to France? SUN SUN NM: The reason was because if they disobeyed a lawful SUN command on active service, then of course, they could be SUN sentenced to death and only by taking them to France were SUN they technically on active service at that point. SUN SUN AM: So they were taken to France to be shot? SUN SUN NM: That seems to have been the intent, yes. SUN From the reports I’ve read they were treated very badly SUN indeed in jail. They were regularly beaten, they were given SUN very meagre rations, and were regularly assaulted. SUN SUN AM: What was the Court Marshall process that they went SUN through? Was it a proper Court Marshall? SUN NM: No it wasn’t in any shape or form, they don’t seem to SUN have had legal aid, they don’t seem to have had defence SUN lawyers, they don’t seem to have been able to put their SUN defence at all. It was a field Court Marshall and was just SUN really a legal formality. SUN SUN After the Court Marshall had concluded it seems, again SUN rather extraordinarily that the sentences weren’t pronounced SUN in court, they were pronounced publically on the parade SUN ground and the soldiers were left to hear their sentence SUN read out there and then. SUN SUN AM: We’ve actually got Bert Brocklesby’s own voice recorded SUN in 1988 by the Imperial War Museum talking about that event. SUN SUN ARCHIVE SUN Our sentences were read out on 24th June. The Non-combatant SUN corps to which we were nominally belonged was lined up on SUN three sides of a square while we from the Orrivale guard SUN room were lined up along the fourth side. The captain read SUN out the promulgations which I quote from memory. SUN SUN “The Accused were tried by Field General Court Marshall on SUN the 13th Day of June, had been found guilty and sentenced to SUN death, the sentence has been confirmed by Field-Marshall Sir SUN Douglas Hague and commuted to 10 years penal servitude. SUN SUN MUSIC: The Lord’s Prayer SUN John Rutter; The Cambridge Singers SUN Hail, Gladdening Light – Music of the English Church SUN Robert Stone SUN SUN READER: Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye SUN for eye, and tooth for tooth. ‘But I tell you, do not resist SUN an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn SUN to them the other cheek also. SUN SUN “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and SUN hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and SUN pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children SUN of your Father in heaven. SUN AM: Those words of Jesus from Matthew’s Gospel have always SUN been a challenge for me as a Priest in the Army, but at SUN least I never carried a weapon. Nicholas Mercer was an Army SUN lawyer, and a Christian, and he carried a gun. Nicholas, SUN how did you wrestle with your conscience? SUN SUN NM: Well I think, in the Christian tradition, there are two SUN possible avenues you can take. First of all there’s the SUN pacifist tradition and a lot of these men, the Richmond 16 SUN were very committed Christians and Pacifists. Then of SUN course, as Christianity became the state religion under SUN Constantine, of course, you were then presented with the SUN problem of a Christian empire and people at your gate who SUN threatened that Christian empire. So as a Christian, I’m not SUN against bearing arms in certain circumstances. SUN SUN AM: How would you feel about shooting somebody? SUN SUN NM: Well, it’s a very interesting question. I think as a SUN matter of self-defence I wouldn’t have problem. I think that SUN St. Augustine wrestled with this issue and said that you SUN could shoot someone to protect your neighbour but not SUN protect your own life. I’m not sure I even go as far as SUN that. I think as you get older your views change to. I SUN think that as a young man I was less sensitive to these SUN things, as an older man now, in my fifties, and as an SUN Anglican priest, I’m very glad I never had to do that. SUN SUN MUSIC: Agnus Dei from The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace SUN Karl Jenkins SUN National Youth Choir of Great Britain SUN London Philharmonic Orchestra SUN The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace SUN AM: I don’t think it’s ever easy being a Christian in SUN wartime. Different people come to different conclusions, SUN all in good faith. SUN SUN For some this meant joining up in a role that didn’t require SUN them to kill people – but required enormous amounts of SUN courage, both physical and moral. The Friends Ambulance Unit SUN was formed at the beginning of the war to give members of SUN the Society of Friends and other, a way of relieving the SUN suffering of those caught up in the war. SUN SUN We’ve come to their memorial at the National Arboretum in SUN Staffordshire to meet Anthony Wilson from the Quaker Service SUN Memorial Trust SUN SUN Anthony, Can you describe this memorial please? SUN SUN AW: It’s constructed of a local limestone, four high backed SUN seats with four entrances, north, south, east and west, so SUN people can come from any direction and sit quietly as SUN individuals or as a group an reflect on the service which SUN was given by people as pacifists in the second world war to SUN relieve the suffering that was being experienced right round SUN the word. SUN SUN AM: Going back to the first world war and the FAU being SUN formed, how official were they? SUN SUN AW: When the war started of course, there wasn’t SUN conscription. When conscription came, it was quite a dilemma SUN for many members and as we’d expect, different people in the SUN unit took different decisions. But the unit did continue SUN its work evacuating hundreds of thousands of wounded troops SUN from the western front. They were quite prepared to evacuate SUN wounded soldiers under fire and 21 FAU members did lose SUN their lives in the course of the first world war. SUN SUN AM: What was the role of the FAU in the Second World War. SUN SUN AW: It was reconstituted to perform much the same role SUN which is to say they were prepared to work with the military SUN on ambulance work at the front as well as civilians. The SUN Friends Relief Service was the official organisation and SUN they only worked with civilians and they were actually the SUN first civilian team to go into Bergen Belsen Concentration SUN Camp and the leader of that team was Jewish. SUN SUN AM: In the Second World War, the nation was fighting a SUN regime that was manifestly evil. For yourself, Anthony, as a SUN pacifist, how do you think you’d have reacted in that SUN situation? SUN SUN AW: I didn’t have to make that decision until 6 years after SUN the war had finished. I had no doubt at that time that I SUN wanted to be a conscientious objector and not to avoid SUN service, but to do that service where I would be truly SUN useful and able to express my, I hope , constructive SUN pacifism. SUN How would I have reacted had I had to decide on my stance in SUN the Second World War. I think I would have been prepared to SUN face a tribunal as a Conscientious Objector and whether I SUN would have accepted the work that I would have been directed SUN to by the tribunal, I have to say depends on what the work SUN was. SUN SUN AM: What’s always worried me about Pacifism is that I’m SUN putting my personal conscience first? SUN SUN AW: I wouldn’t want to accept the wording putting our SUN conscience first. It’s a very difficult decision and putting SUN it first makes it sound as if there’s an element of SUN self-interest involved. And I find it very hard to imagine SUN when there could be. People expect to pay a price for SUN following their conscience, not to receive any kind of SUN advantage. But asking a pacifist in 1939 what would have SUN been the right thing to do, faced with Nazi Germany, and all SUN that it stood for, and all that we could see it was prepared SUN to do, and Quakers knew more than most people what it was SUN doing already, can only leave one feeling very very humble SUN that the vast majority of people in this country and round SUN the world were prepared to fight for my right not to. SUN SUN Music: O valiant hearts SUN Andrew Earis: Choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields SUN Specially Recorded (First Tx: 46/11) SUN AM: We’re in a rural churchyard, by various busy roads on SUN the edge of York. Across the road is the archbishop’s SUN palace, and beyond that, the river Ouse. Back in June 1916, SUN at the same time as the men in France were hearing their SUN death sentences, questions were being asked in Parliament, SUN and very quickly the conscientious objectors were brought SUN back to Britain to begin their prison sentences. SUN SUN Ros Batchelor from the Society of Friends in York brings us SUN back to the story of my cousin Alfred. So Ros, what SUN happened when they left France? SUN SUN RB: Alfred came back with the other men and was in prison in SUN Winchester and in Wormwood scrubs. He appeared before a SUN central tribunal that decide he was a CO, he was taken up to SUN Dyce Quarry, up in Scotland at Aberdeen and they were SUN breaking stone which was for making roads and the men there SUN got very upset because they did discover that the roads had SUN a military purpose. SUN SUN AM: Alfred’s grave is in the churchyard at Brishopthorpe. Is SUN there anything significant about this headstone? SUN SUN RB: Well, it’s a very simple headstone compared to any of SUN the others here. And to me it says there’s a Quaker SUN connection and I wonder whether it was provided, perhaps SUN paid for by Rowntree’s, chocolate factor where he had SUN worked. SUN SUN In the summer just before he died, he told friends that he SUN was very upset because he had been let down by the SUN Government. He felt that they had made promises to him about SUN the work that he would be asked to do and he had found that SUN it was of a military support nature and he was very upset SUN about it. Alfred, made his way back to York where his Fiancé SUN was, and he left her with some of his money and some of his SUN papers and the next thing we know is that he was found SUN drowned in the River here. He didn’t leave a note so the SUN inquest and the verdict was very kind to him. It literally SUN does say “Found drowned in the River Ouse”. SUN What happened to Alfred after he left France? SUN SUN MUSIC: Benedictus from The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace SUN Karl Jenkins SUN National Youth Choir of Great Britain SUN London Philharmonic Orchestra SUN The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace SUN MUSIC - Benedictus from Armed Man SUN SUN AM: Let us pray. SUN Lord, give us the wisdom to know what is right, and the SUN courage to do it. SUN Give us a strong faith when we need to stand against the SUN crowd. SUN SUN Lord, give us the humility to accept that sometimes we are SUN wrong and need to learn from others. SUN Give us the knowledge of your loving presence with us, so SUN that when we make a wrong choice, you will guide us back SUN into the way of Truth. SUN SUN We pray this morning for all those who take a stand for the SUN sake of their conscience and those for whom this is costly. SUN We pray for those who have served in the Armed Forces of the SUN Crown, SUN those who have sacrificed life or health as peacemakers and SUN peacekeepers, SUN those who have been part of wars which have troubled their SUN consciences. SUN SUN And we pray for the victims of war, those who have suffered SUN death or injury, SUN those who have lost their homes and their families, SUN those who have been scarred by memories they cannot erase, SUN those who live with the pain of conflicts past and present SUN and for ourselves, that we may live as followers of the SUN Prince of Peace. SUN In his name we pray. SUN Amen SUN SUN And the blessing of God Almighty, Father, Son and Holy SUN Spirit, be with you and remain with you, always.

SUN SUN "Forget the old right/left, rich/poor division" he says, SUN "nowadays the greatest divergence lies between the old and SUN the young". SUN SUN And he asks how can we in conscience go on denying the young SUN the opportunity to clear up the mess we've ? for the most SUN part quite inadvertently ? created for them.

SUN SUN 13:30 From Our Home Correspondent b07cthtg (Listen) SUN In the latest programme of a new series, Mishal Husain SUN introduces dispatches from journalists and writers around SUN the United Kingdom that reflect the range of contemporary SUN life in the country. From politics to pastimes, from SUN hallowed traditions to emerging trends, from the curious to SUN the ridiculous, the programme presents a tableau of Britain SUN today. SUN This month's programme features contributions from: Felicity SUN Evans of BBC Wales; Ben Judah, author of "This is London"; SUN Dominic Casciani, BBC Home Affairs correspondent; Elizabeth SUN Day, writer and journalist; and Adrian Goldberg of BBC 5Live SUN and BBC WM. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b07c56jb (Listen) SUN Chelsea Special - Geffrye Museum SUN SUN Eric Robson hosts a Chelsea Special from the Geffrye Museum, SUN London. Joining him on the panel are Bunny Guinness, Anne SUN Swithinbank, and Matt Biggs SUN SUN Produced by Dan Cocker SUN Assistant producer: Laurence Bassett SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Fact Sheet SUN Q – Which cardinal rules of gardening can be broken? SUN SUN Bunny – Lots of free draining material at the bottom of the SUN pot was the initial thought but now it’s known to be better SUN to put the material throughout the pot. I also take cuttings SUN whenever I see something I like. SUN SUN Matt – Herbaceous plants can be moved at any time of year if SUN you’re careful and water them well. SUN SUN Anne – Forgetting to clean the greenhouse roof – the dirt SUN and algae turns into shading. SUN SUN SUN Q – Do you throw away tulip bulbs after they have flowered SUN in pots or do you save them for next year? SUN SUN Anne – I don’t keep them in the pot as they won’t flower SUN reliably the year after. Take them out and put them straight SUN into the ground or dry them off and put them into the ground SUN in the autumn. Line them out in the kitchen garden and take SUN them as cut flowers. SUN SUN SUN Q – I was given a wisteria twenty years ago and it had been SUN in a pot for ten years. It is now in the earth on a SUN southeast facing wall but it has never flowered. What can I SUN do? SUN SUN Bunny – I think a plant that has been in one pot for ten SUN years will have roots that spiral round inside. Normally SUN they won’t flower if they are not a named cultivar. Pruning SUN twice a year is important too. SUN SUN Matt – There is a danger that a congested pot of roots won’t SUN be able to take in water properly. Try feeding with a high SUN potash fertilizer in the spring and July. It’s also worth SUN buying a new one. SUN SUN SUN Q – How can I organically kill off a leaf miner bug that is SUN damaging our lovage plants? SUN SUN Matt – Sounds like it could be a celery leaf miner which SUN disfigures the leaves. The easiest way is to remove the SUN infected leaves. SUN SUN Bunny – I would cover it with fine gauze and do it early, SUN that’s the best way to cover a commercial amount of Lovage. SUN I think they’re recycling around so you need to break the SUN cycle. I would also add a layer of mulch – the plant loves SUN moist soil. SUN SUN Anne – I think a pheromone trap would work because most SUN organic sprays are contact sprays - they’ve got to touch the SUN insect. Put a pheromone trap up around April/May, put a SUN capsule in there that gives off hormones of a female moth. SUN The male moths are attracted to it and they get stuck inside SUN the trap. This takes a lot of the male moths out of the SUN equation. Netting is best I think. SUN SUN Matt – If it has been established in the garden then you SUN need the ground-level barrier of the mulch as well. SUN SUN SUN Q – Given the challenging conditions, what exciting, SUN child-friendly planting would thrive in a playground tyre SUN planter? SUN SUN SUN Anne – I would have a group of Sarracenias (carnivorous) – SUN they are very easy to grow and produce pitchers. At the end SUN of the season you can split the pitcher and see all of the SUN leftover insects eaten by the plant – great educational SUN value. You need very acidic soil and special composts. SUN SUN SUN SUN Matt - Carex Comans 'Bronze Form', I would plant a load of SUN them in quite a high stack of tyres and it looks like hair. SUN Then you could stick some eyes and a nose and a smiley face SUN underneath. SUN SUN Bunny – There are hundreds of different beans you could grow SUN – baked beans, haricot beans. You could grow different SUN coloured beans in other pots and make them into tepees – SUN they would work well in tractor tyres. SUN SUN SUN Q – I have half an acre that I would like to turn into a SUN wildflower meadow. What’s the best way to cut the meadow SUN without endangering wildlife? SUN SUN Bunny – It’s very important that you don’t cut it all at SUN once. I would divide it into ten blocks and do it one SUN section at a time. Start at the end of July and selectively SUN cut the bits that have gone over and do the rest another SUN day. You can cut plants later when their seeds have ‘set’. SUN SUN I recommend an Austrian scythe – it is lightweight with a SUN very sharp blade. SUN SUN SUN Q – What is the best way to plant potatoes? SUN SUN Matt – I used to plant and then ‘earth up’ which can SUN maximise the volume of crop. Now I’m growing more of them in SUN bags as I mostly grow new potatoes. Put three in the base SUN with about 5-10cm (2-4inches) of compost then earth them up SUN and put two on the top. I also use the traditional method of SUN planting them individually with a trowel in a bed then SUN earthing up as you go along, rather than trenches. SUN SUN Bunny – I use a trowel and drop them in. I don’t need to SUN earth up because I use smaller seed potatoes which don’t SUN need as much cover. SUN SUN Anne – If the soil is really good then I use the trowel SUN method. If I want to use the potatoes to cultivate a new SUN area of soil then I’ll remove the weeds and dig out a SUN trench, put some compost in the bottom of the trench, fork SUN it in then I’ll put the potatoes on top and use the infill SUN soil over the top so they are buried by 4-5inches (10-12cm). SUN Then I will earth up to smother the weeds. SUN SUN SUN Q –For years I have displayed self-seeded aquilegias and SUN geraniums, but two years ago all of the aquilegias SUN disappeared. I added new seeds and they still didn’t grow. SUN Why have they disappeared and how can I make them grow SUN back? SUN SUN Bunny – If they have grown there for too long, they may have SUN taken what they need from that section of soil. Sometimes it SUN works in a longer cycle. SUN SUN Anne – It could be climatic. SUN SUN Matt – If there are too many plants then there are not a lot SUN of opportunities for seedlings to grow. The gaps between the SUN plants could have been filled so the opportunity for SUN self-seeding is not so great. It may be worth putting trays SUN of compost amongst your Aquilegias so that the seed falls on SUN that. SUN SUN SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b07ctj25 (Listen) SUN Fi Glover introduces four conversations recorded at last SUN year's Hay Festival which illuminate the possibilities at SUN this year's, in the Omnibus edition of the series that SUN proves it's surprising what you hear when you listen. SUN SUN The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a SUN snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the SUN UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to SUN them about a subject they've never discussed intimately SUN before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

SUN SUN For the past 22 years Thomas Bourke has been in prison for a SUN double murder he says he didn't commit. SUN The killings made national headlines in 1993 when two MOT SUN inspectors, Alan Singleton and Simon Bruno, were shot dead SUN at a garage in Stockport, in Greater Manchester. SUN The evidence produced in court against Bourke seemed SUN compelling. Two mechanics at the garage said they had seen SUN him carry out the shooting which the prosecution claimed was SUN motivated by a dispute about his licence to carry out MOT SUN tests. SUN As the jury began their deliberations, a gun was found SUN inside Strangeways prison where Bourke was on remand. Amid SUN subsequent heightened security around the court, he was SUN found guilty and given a minimum 25 year sentence. But SUN protesting his innocence all these years means that he may SUN never be eligible for parole so could remain in prison for SUN the rest of his life. SUN His sister Jo has been tirelessly fighting his case. A SUN chiropodist with no connections to criminals, she began SUN visiting notorious drug dealers and suspected killers to try SUN to gather new evidence that would help clear his name. SUN Through the work of Jo and other campaigners, Bourke's case SUN is now back with the Criminal Cases Review Commission which SUN they hope will lead to an appeal. SUN So has Thomas Bourke been the victim of a shocking SUN miscarriage of justice? Simon Cox investigates. SUN Producer: Sally Chesworth.

SUN SUN This week, sports journalists have been kept particularly SUN busy with speculation over Jose Mourinho's arrival as the SUN new manager of Manchester United. But should the story have SUN been headline news on BBC Radio 4? The Editor of the BBC SUN Radio Newsroom, Richard Clark, responds to listeners' SUN complaints. SUN SUN Radio 4's School Drama has earned a huge amount of praise - SUN and also generated a degree of drama. The four-part series, SUN starring Tom Hollander, concerned a failing state school SUN trying to turn around its prospects with a production of SUN Romeo and Juliet. The drama was recorded at a real school, SUN with pupils and teachers playing roles. But some listeners SUN are asking why this so-called failing school was actually SUN staged at a fee-paying grammar. Director John Dryden SUN discusses that decision. SUN SUN Every three months, the broadcast media goes slightly mad SUN over RAJAR. It stands for Radio Joint Audience Research and SUN they measure live radio listening across the UK. The SUN quarterly figures can be good or bad news for BBC Radio SUN controllers but are they still relevant as more and more of SUN us engage with audio through podcasts, catch up and YouTube? SUN Roger speaks to Lyndsay Ferrigan from RAJAR. SUN SUN For 20 years, BBC Radio 3 has kept listeners across 12 SUN European countries company with its Through the Night SUN programme.

Today there is a TUE growing body of research into mental resilience; where it TUE comes from, why it matters and how it can be nurtured.

Sian visits a school in Oxfordshire where TUE resilience is on the curriculum to find out how children are TUE being taught to bounce back. TUE TUE Sian sees this through the prism of two years of her own MSc TUE research into post-traumatic growth and also, from personal TUE testimony: while drafting her thesis for academic TUE publication, she experiences a sudden and very personal TUE trauma.

TUE TUE 11:30 The Tale of Jimmy Scott b07cvhrv (Listen) TUE Mary Anne Hobbs presents the story of jazz singer Jimmy TUE Scott, one of the 20th century's most overlooked vocalists. TUE Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1925, James Victor Scott's life TUE was filled with loss, pain, struggle and setbacks from the TUE start. It would all reflect in his music, yet he remained TUE upbeat and positive until his death in 2014. TUE TUE Mary Anne learns about the man who came to prominence as TUE Little Jimmy Scott, sang with the Lionel Hampton Band in the TUE late 1940s and released his biggest hit - Everybody's TUE Somebody's Fool - but was un-credited on the record. It set TUE up a long list of un-credited performances, bad contracts TUE and difficult dealings with the label who signed him. So why TUE was a singer with such talent left largely unknown outside TUE of the industry? TUE TUE As a teenager, Jimmy was diagnosed with Kallmann syndrome, a TUE genetic condition which affects the production of hormones, TUE meaning he wouldn't go through puberty and would be left TUE with his trademark high pitched singing voice. But the TUE syndrome led to questions around his androgynous appearance TUE and gender defying vocals. TUE TUE In 1963 it seemed as though Jimmy's luck would turn a corner TUE when he collaborated with Ray Charles to make the critically TUE acclaimed Falling In Love Is Wonderful - cited by many as TUE one of the greatest jazz love albums of all time. However, TUE the album was withdrawn due to contractual problems. Jimmy TUE moved back to Cleveland and began finding work as a shipping TUE clerk, hospital clerk, and busboy throughout the 1970s and TUE 80s. TUE TUE It would take until 1991 for Jimmy to resurface and TUE experience the attention and respect that was missing in his TUE early career. TUE TUE Mary Anne Hobbs speaks to Jimmy's wife Jeanie Scott, TUE biographer David Ritz and record producer Tommy LiPuma. TUE TUE A Sparklab production for BBC Radio 4.

TUE Beginning in winter with the sounds of melting ice and a TUE lone robin singing its plaintive melody, we travel through TUE the seasons, noting not only the changes in the oak tree, TUE but the wildlife which relies on the tree for food and TUE shelter. In spring the young leaves break free of their bud TUE scales and the number of young caterpillars in the foliage TUE can be so great that on a fine day their droppings or frass TUE can sound like rain. By late spring, oaks support huge TUE populations of insects and this in turn attracts more birds; TUE Great Tits, Pied Flycatchers, Redstarts and Tree creepers. TUE In early summer, the wood warblers, whose song has been TUE likened to a small coin spinning on a marble slab return and TUE on warm summer nights the air is filled with the sound of TUE oak bush crickets; which sing by drumming their hind leg TUE against a leaf. They are accompanied by bats. Autumn arrives TUE and with it the storms. Undeterred a storm cock continues to TUE sing from its high perch. Jays are a common sight now TUE collecting large numbers of acorns. Wood pigeons too gorge TUE themselves on acorns whilst squirrels chase after one TUE another up and down the Oak branches prior to mating.

Matthew TUE Parris presents, and Mattie Faint is the expert. TUE TUE Grimaldi was born into a theatrical family, making his stage TUE debut aged two dressed as a monkey and being flung around TUE the stage on the end of a chain by his tyrannical father. TUE The chain snapped but Grimaldi survived, making the papers TUE and turning Grimaldi into a little celebrity. His TUE performances as 'Clown', combining acrobatics, satire and TUE music, made him a big draw for the crowds, and his role in TUE 'Mother Goose' turned him into a huge star. TUE TUE He developed the make-up we now associate with clowns but TUE behind this iconic look was a man suffering from depression, TUE extreme physical disintegration and a series of personal TUE tragedies. TUE TUE Frank Turner, former punk and now folk singer-songwriter, TUE sees himself primarily as an entertainer and has developed TUE an interest in Pantomime and Music Hall. For him, Grimaldi TUE gave everything to his audiences and physically destroyed TUE himself in the process - something he sees as honourable. He TUE describes Grimaldi's farewell speech as one of the most TUE beautiful eulogies to the business of being a performer. TUE TUE Producer: Toby Field.

TUE Experts and politicians flocked to its schools to discover TUE what was leading to its success, and came away with a TUE picture of autonomous schools, children starting school much TUE later than in the UK, and having no tests until their final TUE year. TUE TUE What developed was seen by many as a myth surrounding TUE Finnish education success, while the reality could be TUE attributed to extensive teacher training, high quality TUE lessons and a culture of literacy. But now, Finland is TUE overhauling the way it teaches through 'phenomenon learning' TUE - periods of the school year where learning isn't confined TUE to single subjects, but students take on a broad topic and TUE decide what, and how, they will learn. From 2016, it will be TUE compulsory for all schools to teach with phenomenon TUE projects, but Helsinki has already adopted it in the TUE capital's schools. Sarah Montague interviews the city's TUE Education Manager Marjo Kyllonen and visits a Helsinki TUE school, to see the changes being made to a world-leading TUE education system.

It was posthumously published in 1989 WED - a condensed version of Andy's more-than-20,000 page, WED phoned-in audit/diary. WED WED The core themes to the dramas are Warhol's loves (art, men, WED fame, money, mainly money) and his fears (failure, WED embarrassment, death, mainly death). WED WED The episodes follow four key themes, using four people in WED Andy's life from 76-87 - homeless Crazy Matty, Warhol's WED boyfriend Jon Gould, writer Truman Capote and artist WED Jean-Michel Basquiat.

She went on THU pilgrimage to Jerusalem, to Rome and Santiago de Compostela, THU purchasing indulgences on her way, met with the anchoress THU Julian of Norwich and is honoured by the Church of England THU each 9th November. She sometimes doubted the authenticity of THU her mystical conversations with God, as did the authorities THU who saw her devotional sobbing, wailing and convulsions as a THU sign of insanity and dissoluteness. Her Book was lost for THU centuries, before emerging in a private library in 1934.

THU THU 11:30 Artist in the Director's Chair b07cyfkq (Listen) THU Fifty years ago the London Filmmakers Co-op was formed to THU challenge the conventions of mainstream cinema. In a THU derelict building film enthusiasts gathered to see unusual THU films and artists could share in the equipment and make THU their own films, abandoning the stranglehold of plot and THU script to make more expressive, authored, personal, THU uncensored visions in film. Here the journalist Miranda THU Sawyer explores an alternative approach to filmmaking. THU THU In 1983 the small audience and growing number of filmmakers THU would also find a home on TV. The arrival of Channel 4 THU television, with its remit to provide innovative THU broadcasting acted as a huge boon for the independent film THU and video sector. Monday nights through the 1980s were a THU feast of strange, non commercial arts programmes and film THU screenings. Their ongoing support of artists including Derek THU Jarman, Clio Barnard and Steve McQueen has opened the doors THU for a handful of artist filmmakers. THU THU Today there is more awareness of the idea of the artist THU film, though it's still considered taboo in cinemas. But as THU Miranda discovers, in an age of studio-dominated, THU mass-produced cinema, artist-filmmakers offer a refreshing THU voice - and not just on the margins. THU THU Miranda talks to filmmakers Malcolm Le Grice, John Smith, THU Lis Rhodes, Tacita Dean and Ben Rivers among others. THU THU A Cast Iron Radio production for BBC Radio 4.

Male Black Grouse gather at traditional THU sites on upland moors and display to each other and to the THU females before dawn. Hidden in a small wooden hut Chris THU Watson captures the sounds of their remarkable theatrical THU performance, by burying microphones the previous evening and THU running long cables back to recorders in the hide. The first THU males arrive at the lek site under cover of dark. They can THU be heard before they are seen. They fan out their black THU lyre-shaped tails to reveal white under-feathers as they THU strut back and forth to one another like partners on a dance THU floor. These displays determine the ranks of the birds to THU one another prior to breeding. The dance is accompanied by a THU startling vocal display; bubbling sounds, far-carrying THU rolling coos, pops, gurgles and explosive 'sneezes' which THU once heard are never forgotten! Females are attracted to the THU lek, listening and looking for a prospective mate! As the THU sun rises, the performers drift away, leaving an empty THU stage, a circle of trodden grass in the heather and the THU echoes of their remarkable display. Producer Sarah Blunt.

FRI FRI This is a programme about the pros and cons of self-service, FRI of apparently limitless choice of brightly coloured brands - FRI branding which is in part brought about by allowing the FRI shopper the freedom to make their own choices.

But tall FRI phragmites reeds growing out of sodden ground and watery FRI dykes make them impenetrable places by foot, so Chris sets FRI up his microphones around the edge of the reedbed and FRI prepares to listen from dusk until dawn. Reed beds are FRI magical places. The resident wildlife is either very well FRI camouflaged or secretive and yet the sounds are FRI extraordinary - from the booming fog-horn like calls of FRI Bittern, which are very rarely seen but whose calls FRI reverberate across the reed beds, to the pig-like squeals of FRI the water rail (again a bird you are very unlikely to see FRI but will hear). Dusk is accompanied by the screams and FRI clicks of swifts and swallows as the swoop back and forth FRI catching insects on the wing. As the temperature drops, the FRI reed bed becomes a quieter place but just before dawn the FRI silence is broken and the orchestra strikes up once again: FRI Bitterns, reed buntings and chattering reed and sedge FRI warblers as well as the reeling grasshopper warblers are the FRI first to be heard. Then there's the bell-like high pitched FRI calls of Bearded tits, and finally a soloist as a cuckoo FRI calls to attract a mate. Producer Sarah Blunt.

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.
