'Now that technology has taken human beings right into the heavens, into what our ancestors regarded as the very dwelling-place of God, is there still a place for religion? Or are we now so much controllers of our own destiny that religion no longer makes sense?
The Rev Donald Reeves, rector of St James's, Piccadilly, in London, believes it does, but it must be a religion which takes account of the real world.

A window on the world of childhood in 12 parts, narrated by Judi Dench. 3: Christina, Richie,
Parameshwar, Biddy and Eliza's thoughts of home. It's a basic human need to belong, to have roots. But many of the world's children have no permanent home. An orphan in Brazil, a child of divorce in the United States, a migrant from countryside to big city in India, a traveller child in Ireland, a refugee in Zambia - each of these children has a different idea of where home is, or was, or should be. How do children cope with life on the move?
What kind of help do they need to find a true sense of belonging?

On 24 May 1989, French police arrived at the Priory of St Joseph's in Nice to arrest France's most wanted war criminal, Paul Touvier. The first Frenchman to be charged with crimes against humanity, Touvier now faces trial. Many were involved in his protection since the war: politicians, police, and above all the Church. Every man examines the extraordinary career of a man who has forced the French to confront a past many of them would rather forget.
