The The (Front Row) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0022ktd?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobileA Rage In Dalston www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b009x3831945. Fascism returned to the streets of London. What followed was the war after the war.
For four years London and the South East would witness vicious confrontations between the remnants of Oswald Mosley's British Union of fascists and Jewish ex-serviceman organised in the 43 Group.
Their members were decorated soldiers, airmen and sailors with a sprinkling of East End toughs and youngsters like trainee barber Vidal Sassoon. They broke with the leaders of the the Jewish community in their no-holds barred, physical opposition to the return of fascism to Britain's streets. They operated beyond the law and were fuelled by rage, guilt at the fate of Europe's Jews, and the tension of British policy in Palestine. Their goal was to drive fascism from the streets and silence its message of intolerance, anti-semitism and racism. Alan Dein uncovers a little known story of post war conflict.

American Paradox www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00236rmImmigration
James Naughtie travels to Arizona to examine the deep roots of the current political moment in the United States.
In this first episode of two, he considers the political debate over immigration and the border crisis. He looks at how a state law passed 14 years ago prefigured the rise of Donald Trump, and stimulated a political movement amongst young Arizonans against his politics. On the border with Mexico, James meets migrants, humanitarians and ranchers to understand the problems caused by a failure to effectively secure the border or efficiently process migrants. And he meets political leaders - those who have held power both in Arizona and in Washington, DC, to investigate how the politics of these issues have made compromise and successful policy outcomes - for either left or right - impossible.
Throughout, he explores how these modern political divisions lie along deep historical divides, and how the more either side presses for a 'win', the more divided the country becomes. |

Next week Investigating the devastating effects of investigations related to child abuse images - even when charges are dropped. Jane Wakefield hears from individuals who say they were wrongly targeted and that police action wreaked enormous damage on their families and reputations, even though officers have eventually decided not to pursue criminal investigations. She hears how suspects' phones and other devices were seized with long waits for the police to examine them for evidence. Meanwhile their lives went on hold. The programme investigates how police track the people who trade in these awful images and examines concerns about the reliability of the reliance on IP (internet protocol) addresses for locating suspects. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0023dr4 |
