Suzanne Vega has just released her first album of all-new material for nearly a decade. "Flying With Angels" continues her folk-influenced sound and introduces influences of soul as well as a song in tribute to Bob Dylan's "I Want You". She performs in the studio with guitarist Gerry Leonard.

Sean Combs aka P Diddy is on trial in New York, charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. We look at the first day's proceedings

And there's a unique community-led production of Bertolt Brecht's play Mother Courage and her Children, taking place in Horden, County Durham. The cast combines a unique combination of newly trained-up actors drawn from the surrounding area and established South African actors. We speak to drector Mark Dornford-May and first time professional actor, Julie Ainsell.
