Weather followed by Greenfinches
The 700 women of the Ulster Defence Regiment are known as 'Greenfinches'. They are a little-known part of Northern Ireland's security forces and are hard to tell apart from male soldiers in combat clothing. Off-duty, these women are at their most vulnerable to attack. They give their reasons for joining and reveal the active part they play in troubled Ulster. Producer STEPHEN LAMBERT

Congress, and looks forward to the possibility of a socialist government and the likely implications for his own lifestyle.

5: I'm Looking Forward to the Change
Danny Wyatt has spent all his working life around the same shipyard. As the Austin and Pickersgill yard ran down last winter, Danny was kept on to do night watchman duties in the empty yard. It gave him time to ponder the fate of the once-proud, but now-redundant, shipbuilding traditions. His colleague, Bill Mellish , saw it differently. It had been his job to preach new working practices. It was only logical that he should rise to the challenge.
