3:30   Britain's first women's refuge - Louise Hidalgo from BBC Witness

3:45  Panel Pre-Show - Bridget Mills today with what the world's talking about:  The interesting claim that the rescued U.S. army sergeant traded for five Taliban has forgotten how to speak English. And of course they have many questions to ask him, in English. Who's going to win the World Cup and how do we know now that Paul the octopus is dead. The bicycle that can't fall over, dialling the emergency number in a dispute over chocolate sprinkles on an icecream, and celebrity news... sort of. What Gwyneth Paltrow thinks about the remarkable properties of water, another stoush over the wearing on a native American headdress, this time with Pharell Williams in the gun, and the big campaign to try and stop the Rolling Stones from playing in Israel.
