Hello, I'm Anita Rani and welcome to Woman's Hour from BBC Radio 4.

Good morning and welcome to the programme.

The comedian and actor Russell Brand has been found guilty of rape.

So, I say, sadly, it goes both ways.

Well, this is Rare Earth on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds, your weekly guide to the natural world.

And today we're talking about wildlife crime with Christian Plowman, Programme Manager of Wildlife Cybercrime at the International Fund for Animal Welfare, Neil deCruz, UK Director of the International Animal Welfare Organisation for Paws, and Fiona Howie, Veterinary Pathologist at Scotland's Rural College and winner of a Lifetime Achievement Award at last year's Wildlife Crime Convention.

Big round of applause all round.

Hello, I'm Kaz Graham and this is the Farming Today podcast from BBC Radio 4.

Coming up, we all love a little autumn sunshine and so do winter crops.

We hear how some Scottish cereals are thriving after the sunniest October for 70 years.

Do I think house prices are sliding and sliding faster? Definitely.

Even in the Northwest, which is the strongest part of England and Wales, which is the only countries in the UK I currently cover, this morning on Radio 4, they have the chief executive of Seddon's Home Builders openly saying, we've had to slow down all of our building.

The demand's just not there.

We're 10% to 15% down on last year.

I was wondering, because the thing is, this is ridiculous.

It's all such hype because Steve Knight was interviewed on Radio 4 and he says he knows who James Bond is because he has to write in their voice and style and tone.

So he knows who the actor is.

So it's such a contradiction.

It didn't have any sound, John.

I mean, it's not a functional stereo if you can't actually hear Radio 4.

Could you hear the engine?

You could hear the engine.

Yes.

You got a Radio 4 series, I think.

We got a Radio 4 pilot.

It didn't go to series.

We wrote a series which didn't go to pilot.

Lovely to chat to you.

And first of all, congratulations, because you were featured on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, I believe.

I

was.

So, yeah, warming is very important.

A hot drink, someone to brew up a cup of hot chocolate makes a massive difference.

Well, the book is called Shiver, the Lessons of the Locks, as featured on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.

It's by Bridget Lowe, who we're chatting to now.

If you have $50,000 down the back of your sofa, you could put in a bid.
