Singer Annie Lennox talks about her life and music.

Presented by Jane Garvey. Singer Annie Lennox talks about her life and music. Why are children still being held in Britain's detention centres? And the lady lock keeper Annie Myers.

Presented by Jane Garvey. Annie Lennox one of the world's best-selling music artists talks about her life and music. We look at how children are still being held in Britain's detention centres despite coalition pledges to stop the practice and we hear from one woman who works as a lock keeper on the River Lee running through East London. With the Olympics just two years away, the waterways there are already playing a crucial role in providing a transport link for barges carrying construction materials and building waste to and from the site. One of the people who looks after the network for British Waterways is Annie Myers. We hear from her about her life on the water and how she is just one of just a handful of women who do this kind of work throughout the country.
