Commission Mid August Commissioning decision made, subject to awarded contract. Editorial specifications and price agreed. We will assess your proposal(s) according to this timetable. Late submissions cannot be accepted. If you have any questions about this commissioning brief that you need answering before you submit your short proposals, please ensure you send them to the relevant commissioning co-ordinator well before the deadline. Version 2 08.02.2018 LL 3 of 89 SECTION B: THE COMMISSIONING PROCESS Everything in this commissioning round is open to competition. Any department or company with demonstrable suitable expertise may submit ideas for any brief. For this specific ideas process, there is no formal eligibility questionnaire. If you are registered on the BBC supplier database it is assumed that you satisfy the basic eligibility requirements. We are taking two distinct approaches to commissioning in this round. Specific ideas All briefs listed in this document are being commissioned in the traditional Radio 4 manner, in which we invite you to submit proposals for specific ideas. In Stage 1 you submit brief Short Proposals; we may then invite you to discuss some of those ideas. In Stage 2 you submit Full Proposals. Batch tenders In Factual documentaries and in Arts Features much of the programming is being commissioned on the basis of a batch. This is where we contract successful applicants to deliver a set number of programmes per year. Some of these specific programmes are commissioned at the outset; the rest are left unspecified for rolling commissioning through the year. Each batch proposal will be supported by a number of proposals for specific ideas, which should follow the process set out in this document. For details of how to apply for a batch commission, read the document entitled Commissioning briefs, Spring 2018: proposals for batches. Version 2 08.02.2018 LL 4 of 89 THE THREE STAGES STAGE 1: SHORT PROPOSAL Step 1 Complete your Short Proposal – maximum 250 words - in Proteus. Please do not offer proposals unless you can demonstrate relevant expertise. Observe the cap on numbers where this has been applied. If the cap says a maximum 10 proposals per supplier, we will only read your first 10. Fewer, stronger ideas are much more likely to get through. In slots where each commission is for multiple episodes, the number of commissions will be far fewer than the number of individual programmes available. We welcome proposals from suppliers who wish to group together in some form of partnership, as long as this is made clear in the proposal. Where there is a cap on proposals, the suppliers joining together may combine their cap allowance (e.g. if the cap is 5 and two companies offer in partnership, they may submit 10). Each joint proposal should be entered only once. All Short Proposals must be entered through Proteus by the stage 1 deadline. PROPOSALS FOR FACTUAL AND ARTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN PROTEUS: 2019-2020 ROUND 1 PROPOSALS FOR COMEDY AND DRAMA SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN PROTEUS: 2019-2020 ROUND 5 The following must be entered for each Short Proposal: Title (of your proposal, not the slot) Commissioning Brief number: This number is at the top of each commissioning brief. Enter each proposal in one schedule slot only. If we consider it suitable for another slot, we will transfer it. Delivery date: Enter an estimated delivery date e.g. 01/06/2019. Price per episode: This will default to the bottom of the guide price range. Radio 4 will not expect to pay above guide price range. If, at this stage you think the price will be outside the range, you can enter this in the ‘Price Per Episode £’ field. Number of episodes Duration: The total allotted airtime per episode, including continuity Version 2 08.02.2018 LL 5 of 89 announcements, for example 14’ or 28’ (not 15’ or 30’). Short synopsis: This is where you sell your idea in Stage 1. Max 250 words. Long synopsis: Do not enter anything in this field at this stage. Step 2 Short Proposals will be evaluated by the commissioning team who will shortlist those which they wish to see as Full Proposals. Step 3 We will release the results in Proteus, with proposals showing as either ‘rejected’ or ‘re-requested’. Re-requested means the idea has been short- listed to go to the next stage. We regret that we are unable to provide feedback on unsuccessful Short Proposals, due to pressure on our time. STAGE 2: FULL PROPOSAL Step 1 If you reach the next stage, you will be invited to discuss your short-listed ideas with the commissioning editor. This may by phone rather than face to face. We will not discuss ideas that have not been submitted as Short Proposals. Step 2 When a proposal is re-requested in Proteus, do not re-create it from scratch; just edit it to reflect the requirements for the Full Proposal. While it is possible to submit fresh offers which have not been discussed, experience shows that very few ideas that have not been offered as Short Proposals get commissioned. All Full Proposals must be delivered in Proteus by the Stage 2 deadline. PROPOSALS FOR FACTUAL AND ARTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN PROTEUS: 2019-2020 ROUND 1 PROPOSALS FOR COMEDY AND DRAMA SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN PROTEUS: 2019-2020 ROUND 5 The following must be entered for each Full Proposal: Title: If your idea is commissioned you must not change this title without the written agreement of the commissioning editor. Commissioning Brief number: Submit each proposal in one slot only. If we think it suitable for another slot, we will transfer it. Delivery Date: (linked to anniversary / event dates where relevant). This information is important and will be used when scheduling a commissioned programme. Version 2 08.02.2018 LL 6 of 89 Price per episode: For this commissioning round we have decided to issue a guide price range rather than a single guide price. We hope that by doing so we will encourage suppliers to consider the optimum balance

  • Canadian Mine Accused of Causing Skin Infections
    Fuente: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7934513.stm Por el link: http://www.business-humanrights.org Canadian mine accused of causing skin infections By Bill Law Reporter, Radio 4 Crossing Continents The photographs are disturbing, Mayans young and old covered in blisters and welts. Anti-mining activists say the rashes result from water polluted by a giant open-pit gold mine located in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. Marlin Mine is owned and operated by a large Canadian corporation called Goldcorp. The company strongly denies any link between their operation - which in a hot gold market is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week - and the ill health of the Mayans. Responding to the charge, the company said in a statement: "Comprehensive sampling conducted by the technical staff of the Public Ministry in Guatemala as well as by the Marlin environmental department has confirmed that river water quality is not adversely impacted by mine operations." RADIO 4: CROSSING CONTINENTS Bill Brassington heads a Canadian union pension fund that invests in Goldcorp and has seen the pictures taken by a North American non- governmental organisation called Rights Action. He points out that Rights Action has no medical evidence to support its claims. Still, as an ethical investor he is worried. Assessing Impact Besides the rashes, Goldcorp has been accused by some Guatemalan campaign groups and NGOs of unfair land purchase practices, human rights Unease over Guatemalan gold rush violations and environmental damage to the area surrounding the mine. Critics also say the company is taking huge amounts of profit out of impoverished indigenous communities and putting very little back in.

KP: I would like to begin by asking you a little bit about your parents. Your father and mother both emigrated from Eastern Europe. JDG: That's correct. KP: From Russia. Could you tell me a little bit about why they came? JDG: My mother, at the age of fourteen, ran away from Russia because of the pogroms [anti- Semitic riots]. She was the tenth of ten children. Her oldest brother and her fifth sister were both in this country and she felt that she had to get away. There were too many people being killed. So, at the age of fourteen, she ran away from Chernobyl and walked across Russia to Austria, and then, somehow, got on a boat to this country, alone. When they were about to dock at Ellis Island, she found out that if you didn't have parents, they would send you back. They didn't want a youngster by themselves. So, there was a mother and father with another young lady about her age. She asked if they would accept her as their daughter when they got off the boat and they said, "Of course." So, she went through Ellis Island with them, and then, she went with her [family].

  • 2015 Christmas Concert Artist Announcement-Edited
    For Immediate Release Broadway Star Laura Osnes and Beloved British Actor Martin Jarvis Join Mormon Tabernacle Choir for Annual Christmas Concert Back by popular demand after charming audiences at this summer’s Pioneer Day concert, Broadway star Laura Osnes will join the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square for their annual Christmas concerts on December 17, 18 and 19 in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. Taking the stage with Osnes will be acclaimed British screen and voice actor Martin Jarvis. Under the direction of Mack Wilberg, music director of the Choir, and Ryan Murphy, associate music director, these powerhouse talents will ring in the holiday spirit for audiences young and old. But that’s not all. Osnes and Jarvis will be joined by four Metropolitan Opera soloists — Erin Morley, soprano; Tamara Mumford, mezzo-soprano; Ben Bliss, tenor; and Tyler Simpson, bass — adding a classical dimension to the musical repertoire. This is going to be an unforgettable concert,” said Ron Jarrett, president of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. “Where else can you find such a depth of talent in all performing disciplines all on one stage? We are truly blessed to have this fabulous ensemble of artists spend Christmas with us.” Today’s carefully guarded announcement was eagerly anticipated by thousands in the community who have attended the Christmas concerts for over a decade. The free performances are arguably the hottest tickets in town during the Christmas season, and this year will be no exception. “We are overwhelmed and humbled by the response of our audiences each year,” said music director Mack Wilberg.
