Salami Westerns?
Hungarian films have won a high international reputation for being innovative and outspoken. But at home the audiences prefer American blockbusters. As the Hungarian film industry tries to be more responsive to its local public, there's a danger that films become more populist but less Hungarian. Meanwhile, film-makers are calling for higher seat prices and less generous funding!

Radio 4's international business report; market trends

London - like most large cities - has had its share of civil disorder. One of the most bizarre examples took place in February 1886 when a meeting, called to protest against the plight of the destitute and homeless, led to mass looting, violence and a state of general panic. Afterwards the popular orator John Burns and the journalist Henry Hyndman were charged with sedition.
Mitch Raper relates what led up to their arrest and what took place at the trial.
