Nigeria; Introducing new siblings; Tom Kerridge
Jenni Murray and guests discuss children and armed conflict in Nigeria. Plus introducing a new sibling to the family, and Tom Kerridge cooks the perfect Barnsley chop.
It's five months since almost 300 girls were taken from their school in Chibok in north eastern Nigeria, by the violent Islamist group Boko Haram. We examine a new report by the organisation WatchList on Children and Armed Conflict, which suggests abduction is widespread in the northeast of the country and find out the latest from the Bring Back Our Girls campaign.
The creator of 'Charlie and Lola', has written and illustrated a new picture book called 'The New Small Person' about introducing a new sibling to the family. What's the best way to introduce a new baby and manage sibling rivalry.
The cellist and conductor Han-Na Chang will take up the baton on Sunday at the 麻豆约拍 Proms to conduct the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra. She joins Jenni to talk about why she's putting her accomplished career as a world class cellist aside and rebranding herself as a conductor.
