UN at 80, China Christian Crackdown
UN at 80, China Christian crackdown.
The United Nations will be 80 years old next Friday but is it thriving or dying? Audrey talks Jane Kinninmont, Chief Executive of the UN Association UK, Professor Kathryn McNeilly from Queens University and former ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ UN Correspondent Mark Devenport.
It's being described as the biggest crackdown on people of religion in decades as over the past number of weeks in China, around 30 Christians were rounded up and imprisoned. Martin Palmer advises a number of different religions on relations with the Chinese government and he tells Audrey that the situation is not as straightforward as it seems.
Barrister Conor Bowman's newest book tells the story of the half-life of Edith Hopkins – it's fiction but has elements of his own story and that of the unmarried mother who gave him up for adoption.
