by Patrick Seale of St. Antony's College, Oxford
The recent events in Syria must be set against a background of Arab politics thrown into confusion by the destruction of the Syrian-Egyptian union. In this talk, first broadcast on March 24 and now revised to take account of subsequent events in Syria, Mr. Seale argues that the Arab states are now undergoing a reappraisal of their policies as painful as any they have had to face since the Palestine War.

PART 1
by D.W. Elliott, Professor of Law at King's College Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the University of Durham
What is meant when a jury is said to be unanimous? Is genuine unanimity possible to obtain? How should a judge direct a jury which confesses itself in difficulties? What pressure may he apply to secure unanimity?
These are some of the questions Professor Elliott considers in his talk.
PART 2
