Jenni Murray talks to singer-songwriter PJ Harvey, the first woman to have been awarded the Mercury Music Prize. In October 2009, Rachel and Paul Chandler were enjoying their early retirement, spending their life savings sailing their yacht around the world. 800 miles from Somali waters, in the Seychelles, they were hijacked and kidnapped by a gang of Somali pirates. Mistaken for millionaires, they began an ordeal which was to last for 13 months. The couple join Jenni to explain how they endured the experience. Abortion counselling - should it be offered and by whom? And Ulrika Jonsson discusses writing and phone hacking.
