3 HRH The Princess Anne, President of the Save the Children Fund
When HRH The Princess Anne accepted the presidency of Save the Children in 1970, she did so on the basis that she would be a working president and not just a figurehead. She has certainly fulfilled this commitment, visiting Save the Children projects in both the United
Kingdom and the developing world. While abroad, she always tries to stay with Save the Children field workers.
Experiences like these have helped to make her a respected authority on the needs of children, both at home and abroad. HRH The Princess Anne joins Sue MacGregor to answer listeners' questions from all over the world.

The Pillars of Islam
Second of two programmes Jihad - a Holy Struggle
From the earliest days, Muslims have not been afraid to fight for their faith - so much so that
Jihad, commonly translated as 'holy war', has often been described as the unofficial sixth pillar of Islam. Some claim it is being relived today on the Iran/ Iraq battlefield. But Muhammad also spoke of a greater war - nobler than bloodshed - which was to be fought every day by the faithful.
Brian Redhead asks whether
Islam is fighting a jihad against the 20th-century. Is there a path of fidelity which lies between fanaticism and compromise? Reader GARARD GREEN
