 Our core service is the production of a weekly news and information 'Briefing', which contains a number of fairly short items, each on a different topic. However, where available, we also offer longer interviews or features on subjects mentioned in the Briefing.
These can be found in the 'Contents' section of the current Briefing and, after that, they are then moved to this features page, which can be regarded as a reference section. We aim to make sure that everything featured here is current, but please be aware that some items are a good deal older than others and it is possible that some aspects of a particular subject may have changed since the item was produced.
These items can be played and downloaded and, where available, we also offer a relevant link to further information on a subject. Very occasionally, we produce special features, or 'reports', on a particular topic, which can also be found here. This selection of features and interviews was last updated on 30th July 2010.
