Just before The Queen visited the Gulf States in February Teresa McGonagle and Anne Howells of Woman's Hour paid a visit to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi to make recordings with the people who live there; with the Arabs themselves; and with Britons who are there to work.
The programme reflects not only the way in which the vast oil wealth is being used to create modern tax-free welfare states, but also some of the problems, in particular the dilemmas facing the women of these countries as they emerge from a life of segregation to play their part in the wider society.

Dangerous and depressive were two of the charges levelled at tower blocks. They became an emotive issue and now local authorities look for other solutions to the problem of housing large numbers of people in cities. Today new council houses crouch in the shadow of the towers and old terraces get a facelift instead of being bulldozed. Nick Wates looks into new ideas in housing, with architects, planners and tenants in British cities to find out whether this down-to-earth approach is working and communities, supposedly destroyed by the towers, are surviving at ground level.
