1: Innocence and Experience Forty years ago, during the closing stages of World War II, the United Nations was founded in a mood of heady optimism. Its aims were noble and ambitious. But the pace of change has been faster than anyone expected, the problems more complex.
Membership has more than trebled from the original 50 founding nations to 159 countries today, making for a world body very different from what was first envisaged.
In the first of four programmes to mark the 40th anniversary of the UN, Alexander MacLeod traces the political evolution of the organisation and considers how far it has measured up to the early hopes and expectations. Producer TOM READ
A BBC World Service production

For Whom the Bell Tolls (14)

Presented by Tim Llewellyn including a special report from the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth

This week Desmond Lynam takes a look at some unusual animal sports, such as the Kiplingcotes Derby. One of the oldest flat races in the country, it's a gruelling test for both horse and rider and, of course, there are no judges, no bookmakers and the riders must be over 10 stone. There's also a trip to see a ferret race, a meeting with an Afghan hound and the Papingo Shoot; an event in June where the Kilwinning Abbey Ancient Society of Archers get together aiming to kill a stuffed bird!
