麻豆约拍

News and conversation about the big stories of the week with Paddy O'Connell.

The programme hears from the chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee, Kim Howells MP, on Yemen and terrorism; veteran China watchers Sir Christopher Hum, Jonathan Fenby and Steve Tsang on Sino-British relations; and William Brittan-Catlin, author of Offshore: the Dark Side of the Global Economy.

Plus, the George Orwell file in the 麻豆约拍 archive is opened, there's an informed look at the work of Ian Dury, and a trip to the Forest of Dean to see work on a new replica of Stephenson's Rocket at the Flour Mill workshop.
