Atomic Energy Agency, which has two objectives: to encourage peaceful development of nuclear energy throughout the world; and to ensure that nuclear installations function safely and efficiently. Dr Hans Blix , who has headed the Agency since 1981, was thrust into the limelight last year as one of the first people to visit the site of the nuclear accident at Chernobyl.

by J. R. R. TOLKIEN, adapted in 13 episodes by BRIAN SIBLEY and 10: The Choices of Master Samwise
'So it was that amid a gathering gloom Theoden, the King of the Mark, made ready to lead all his Riders on the eastward road. Hearts were heavy and many quailed in the shadow. But they were stem people, loyal to their lord, and little weeping or murmuring was heard. Doom hung over them, but they faced it silently.' With

The Pillars of Islam
A two-part programme
1: A Heart Washed with Snow In the hills of Taif, so the ancient story goes, a Bedouin child had a vision. He saw two angels coming to his milk brother, Muhammad, the praised one. The angels opened up Muhammad's ribs and bathed his heart in snow drawn from a silver chalice.
Brian Redhead goes in search of Muhammad, the orphan of Mecca, the camel driver turned visionary, the man who married many wives, the mystic who rode the flying horse Buraq to heaven and whose message of submission still shapes the lives of over 700 million Muslims throughout the world today.
