Why do populist politicians across the West want warmer relations with Russia? Are they just Kremlin agents? Or are they tapping into a growing desire to find common cause with Moscow – and end East-West tension? Tim Whewell travels from Russia to America and across Europe to unravel the many different strands of pro-Moscow thinking, and offer a provocative analysis which challenges conventional thinking about the relationship between Russia and the West.

Phil Kemp meets some of the hundreds of unaccompanied migrant children stranded in Greece in camps and shelters on the islands and the mainland.

This hour we’re coming to you from inside the Third Coast Institute of Sound — a fictional museum we’ve dreamed up where all of the exhibits and artifacts are dedicated to things that make sound and noise. The Cat Piano (on loan from The Museum of Imaginary Musical Instruments) By Victoria Ferran with Sound Engineer Chris O’Shaughnessy for Soundproof (ABC RN, 2016) The history of the cat piano goes back centuries and raises unanswered (and perhaps unanswerable) questions about the relationship between music and noise, human and animal. Vox Ex Machina By Delaney Hall and Roman Mars for 99% Invisible In 1939, an astonishing new machine debuted at the New York World’s Fair. An operator sat at the organ-like device’s curved wooden console with a giant speaker towering behind her. She faced an expectant audience, placed her hands on a keyboard in front of her, and then played something the world had never really heard before — a synthesized voice. Mr Pumpernickle's Musical Gas (on loan from The Museum of Imaginary Musical Instruments) By Victoria Ferran with Sound Engineer Chris O’Shaughnessy for Soundproof (ABC RN, 2016) In the 1830s, the French were imagining a delivery method for music long before the radio was invented, all thanks to gaz musical . Roald Dahl's Sound Machine (on loan from The Museum of Imaginary Musical Instruments) By Victoria Ferran with Sound Engineer Chris O’Shaughnessy for Soundproof (ABC RN, 2016) Roald Dahl's short but slightly disturbing story tells of a man named Klausner who invents a machine that can hear sound the human ear cannot hear. Gone With A Trace: The story of lost items on the US/Mexico border By Joan Webber for The Current (CBC, 2015) Every year, thousands of people try to secretly cross into America by foot. It is a brutal, daunting trip. Some make it, some are caught and sent back, and still others die in the effort. And along the way the landscape is littered with objects left behind, testaments to the struggle people endure trying to get here. Photographer Richard Misrach and composer Guillermo Galindo have been collecting these objects left by migrants and transforming them into musical instruments, in the hopes of giving voice to statistics. Khlebnikov's Radio of The Future (on loan from The Museum of Imaginary Musical Instruments) By Victoria Ferran with Sound Engineer Chris O’Shaughnessy for Soundproof (ABC RN, 2016) ‘The Radio of the Future—the central tree of our consciousness—will inaugurate new ways to cope with our endless undertakings and will unite all mankind.’ — Velimir Khlebnikov, 1921 Fluctuations [web and podcast only] By Phil Smith for Short Cuts (Falling Tree Productions & BBC Radio 4, 2013) At night, Phil pines for the sound his toilet used to make. This episode of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk.

Elle ne chantera plus mais les oiseaux, si Les touristes avaient le droit d'être arrosés Perdu en pleine nature, l'ascenseur à bateaux des Fontinettes de Arques, près de St Omer dans le Pas-de-Calais (62), est aujourd'hui un squat pour merles, hirondelles, moineaux et pigeons.

Avec beaucoup de regrets, Christian Dirix se souvient du spectacle. Enregistrements : mai 16 - Mise en ondes & mix : Samuel Hirsch - Réalisation : Jérôme Bailly

Have you ever heard a woman being described as “pretty for a dark skinned girl”? This podcast hears frank and often painful first-hand stories about 'shadeism' or 'colourism' – discrimination based on skin tone. We are told how decades ago, some African American organisations used the “brown paper bag test” to decide who could become members, with those with darker skins excluded. And we investigate how this prejudice is still affecting people, including in their relationships. For many, the former First Lady, Michelle Obama, has become a role model. By being married to a man with lighter skin, has she changed how black women and girls see themselves? Contributors include the singer-songwriter India Arie.

Tausende junger Männer und Frauen aus Europa zogen in den Krieg im Nahen Osten. Viele kehrten zurück, manche kampfentschlossen, manche desillusioniert. Gesellschaft und Behörden haben ein massives Problem: Wie erkennt man Radikalisierung? Wie stoppt man Terroristen?

Finland tar guld under skid-VM 2001 på hemmaplan. En läkarväska med kanyler och blod hittas på en bensinstation. I en bastu skrivs ett hemligt avtal. Tio år senare är lagets största stjärna död. Skid-VM i Lahtis, en finsk folkfest med skyhöga förväntningar på hemmanationen, börjar plötsligt kantas av mystiska omständigheter. En finsk åkare som nyss tävlat blir hastigt sjuk, en stav bryts av utom räckhåll för tv-kamerorna och i bastun skrivs ett hemligt kontrakt för att försöka komma undan ansvar. Med hjälp av landslagets läkare injiceras åkarna med preparat som ska dölja alla spår av dopning, och se till att de får komma till start i loppen. En efter en avslöjas åkarna i det finska landslaget, inför sin egen hemmapublik. Men det dröjer ytterligare tio år innan hela sanningen om händelserna i Lahtis kommer fram. I P3 Dokumentär hör du skidåkaren Per Elofsson som tävlade sida vid sida med de dopade åkarna. SVT:s Jacob Hård som från kommentatorsbåset anade att någonting inte stämde. Maud Bernhagen från TV4 Sporten som intervjuade de dopade skidstjärnorna innan lögnerna avslöjades. Men också Harri Syväsalmi, generalsekreterare på World Anti-Doping Agency, som genom att lura det finska laget lyckades avslöja dopningen.
