Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Link For
    Written evidence submitted by Link for Freedom Foundation (UKI0017) We are a diverse group of ordinary citizens, brought together by our support for Iranian citizens who seek democratic and non-sectarian freedom in their homeland. We formed the Link for Freedom Foundation (LFF) to safeguard our own democratic values and perform what we see as our civic duty: to mobilise and co-ordinate other ordinary citizens to help us challenge our government, international agencies such as the UN, and the media about their policy decisions. LFF Answer to Question 1 - Relations between the UK and Iran, and vice versa: history, evolution, and aims In February 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini hijacked the popular revolution which saw off the Shah. Driven by a number of factors, not least the enduring need to secure energy supply, Western powers including the US and Britain supported him. They didn’t want to see oil nationalised as it had been by Mosaddegh in 1952. Khomeini offered the people a referendum to establish Iran as an Islamic Republic, and this was almost unanimously voted for. However, the people’s vision of a republic, in which the majlis (parliament) would play a prominent role, swiftly led to disillusion and worse when Khomeini betrayed the democratic parliamentary process by overlaying it with his concept of velayat e-faqih (absolute rule of the clergy), honed in his 13 years of exile in Iraq. Hard- wired into a new constitution was the principle of Sharia Law, an Islamic justice system which gave absolute authority to the religious leaders, with Khomeini and, since his death in 1989, Khamenei as Supreme Leader.

  • Tales Behind the Tunes Played by Brampton Community Band Martin
    Tales Behind the Tunes played by Brampton Community Band Martin Coslett Introduction Towards the end of 2018, my first session with Brampton Community Band was nerve wracking. I had printed out the music for the list they had sent but was not expecting the onslaught of tunes and at such fast tempos! Of course, they were designed for people to dance to so had to be at specific speeds. As eventually an accepted member of the band I was fortunate to play at quite a few church halls and birthday ceilidh’s before the pandemic came to haunt us and stopped the dancing. Half an Hour with the Brampton Community Band Brampton Community Band - ‘the brainchild of Peter Gray’ - recorded a CD at Donut Studios Chesterfield in 2012 of the following tunes: 1. Morgan Rattler/Banish Misfortune 2. Napoleon Crossing the Rhine/Jimmy Garson’s March 3. Woodland Revels 4. The Swallow’s Nest/Calliope House 5. The Greenwood Tree/Northern Light 6. The Tenpenny Bit/The Blackthorn stick 7. John Ryan’s Polka/Dennis Murphy’s Polka 8. The Bishop/Jack Maggot 9. The Gentle Maiden/Road to Lisdoonvarna/O’Keefe’s Slide British music and English folk music includes a variety of important musical styles including dance music like that used in Morris dancing (see types below) as well as sea shanties and other sung genres. From early medieval days tunes were carried from place to place by minstrels who passed on the news of the day in story form (true and ‘fake’) At least one of the tunes included here can be dated back as far as 1046 - Morgan Rattler.

On the World Service’s performance, Committee Chairman Mr Mike Gapes MP said: “2008-09 was a good year for the BBC World Service in terms of its performance. We particularly welcome the unprecedented growth in online audiences, which exceeded all targets.” On BBC Persian television, Mr Gapes said: “We congratulate the BBC World Service on its success in the launch and delivery of BBC Persian television. This provides an invaluable service to the people of Iran and other Farsi speakers in the region by providing an objective news service during a period of great tension. We support the ongoing efforts of the World Service to remove the technical blockages imposed by the Iranian government.” “We welcome the BBC World Service’s temporary extension of the Persian service to 24 hours of broadcasting and regret that this could not be continued due to financial restraints. We see great value in a 24 hour service and recommend that the BBC World Service make this a top priority for 2009-10.” The Foreign Affairs Committee will publish its report on The Work of the BBC World Service 2008–09 at 11.00am on Friday 5 February.
