Fair Shares?
Poverty in Britain today has reached crisis proportions. About one in seven children is being brought up on Supplementary Benefit - that means
11.30p a day to meet all the normal needs of a 10-year-old.
Meanwhile, the gap between rich and poor is growing; tax-cuts for the top tax payer, benefit cuts for the poor.
Child Poverty Action Group looks at a society where five per cent of the population still own nearly half the wealth, to find out who gets the benefit and who pays the price.

A frank account in 11 parts of life on the ocean wave in one of Her Majesty's ships.
When the sailor changes from his bell-bottoms to his jeans, his psyche changes too. Gone is the rover, to be replaced by domesticated man.
Ark is docked and lifeless as its crew disperses into the lap of families ashore, the Fleet Chief, Tom Wilkinson, scourge of ratings, to a loyal dog and a loving wife, Captain Graham - man of decision - to the minutiae of life in his Surrey village, and Leading Seaman 'Twinkle' Powell - heart-throb of the Spanish Main- to his mother, whom he festoons with gifts. Only those without families do not change, carrying on the enduring and endearing traditions and pursuits of the sailor.

The plants we grow in our gardens are some of the richest and most varied in the world, but very few of them are native to this country. So where do they come from? Who brought them? How have we changed them? Heathers
Heathers can provide a garden with colour all the year round. But the plants which are native to Europe form just part of a much larger family whose home is in southern Africa.
