O tema da integridade e boa governança passou a ter grande destaque no mundo nos últimos anos. Tem sido cada vez mais presente a ação de governos, organismos multilaterais, sociedade civil e setores empresariais para o estabelecimento de legislações nacionais mais rígidas, convenções internacionais, pactos setoriais de compliance e mecanismos independentes de avaliação de integridade e riscos de corrupção. Somente neste ano, diversas notícias reforçam a percepção de aumento da pressão global na pauta anticorrupção, como, por exemplo, a publicação de um memorando do governo de Joe Biden, nos Estados Unidos, estabelecendo o enfrentamento da corrupção doméstica e estrangeira como item central na política de segurança nacional do país. No mês seguinte, o Conselho de Direitos Humanos da ONU aprovou resolução específica para o enfrentamento da corrupção na perspectiva da promoção dos direitos fundamentais. Também estarão em curso, em breve, ações dirigidas especificamente ao Brasil, com processos regulares de avaliação do cumprimento de convenções internacionais contra a corrupção e a lavagem de dinheiro. Para entender essa movimentação, como o mundo avalia hoje o caso brasileiro e possíveis consequências, a Fundação FHC e a Transparência Internacional Brasil reuniram grandes especialistas internacionais da área: o presidente do GT Antissuborno da OCDE, Drago Kos, e o Case Controller do Serious Fraud Office do Reino Unido, Paul Farley. A discussão será moderada pela especialista em políticas públicas e pesquisa sobre fluxos financeiros ilícitos do Secretariado da Transparência Internacional na Alemanha, Maíra Martini, e pelo diretor da FFHC, Sergio Fausto.

In this episode, I had the great privilege of speaking to Paul Farley. Paul is a poet originally from Liverpool who has won multiple awards for his work, including the Sunday Times Young Writer of Year, is a member of the Royal Society of Literature and also had the esteemed honour of teaching me creative writing in his post as professor at Lancaster University.  We discuss:  Poets he believes are most worthy of study in state educated classrooms The inspiration he takes from the Northamptonshire ‘peasant poet', John Clare.  The IB's decision to include musicians in their prescribed reading list as poets and whether this suggests poetry has a waning influence on newer generations. Paul's views on the changing face of form in poetry.  His relationship with Liverpool now and the ways in which he includes the city or cadence of the accent in his work.  And finally, advice he would give to students who find it difficult to access poetry as an art form. Thanks again to Paul for putting up with my questions so early in the morning and providing ideas that I've been considering ever since.  If you haven't already, subscribe via Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts if you'd like to be made aware of when more educational chat like this becomes available!

As spring arrives, Ian McMillan and guests consider ambivalence and beauty in writing about spring. This week Ian peers into the yellow heart of the daffodil to find out what makes a great spring poem, and shares poetry by some of the most remarkable poets of our moment, as well as those inspired by the colours of crocuses past. Spring is always beautiful, but there is earthiness and grief in the language of the season too. His guests will include writers and those who work with and study the earth itself. Ian is joined by Booker prize winning novelist and keen gardener Penelope Lively who has contributed an essay to the new anthology 'In The Garden' (Daunt) on 'the Gardening Eye', passing the passion for growing on to her daughters, and gardening later in life. In his poem 'Here Too Spring Comes to Us with Open Arms', Caleb Femi takes us to spring on a South London Estate. Femi has just published 'Poor' (Penguin), his debut collection of poetry. In books such as the T.S Eliot prize shortlisted collection 'The Mizzy' (Picador), Paul Farley turns our attention to the overlooked and unloved places, finding spring thrives here just as in the meadow. We also hear a selection of poems recorded as part of Radio 3's Spring Poetry season and read by Colin Tierney and Indira Varma: Crocuses - Richard Meier Lines Written in early Spring - William Wordsworth April - Mona Arshi Loveliest of trees, the cherry now - AE Housman March - Patrick Kavanagh I So Liked Spring - Charlotte Mew Presenter: Ian McMillan Producer: Jessica Treen

Moby Dick is the story of a crazed and vengeful sailor, Captain Ahab, hunting a giant whale that bit off his leg. It's a large and challenging book and its author, Herman Melville died without knowing how influential or revered it would become. Although it failed to impress when it first came out in 1851, it's now hailed as a ‘great American novel', one of the towering achievements of American literature. With Bridget Kendall to explore the book and its author, Professor Jamie Jones from the University of Illinois, Emily Ogden from the University of Virginia and poet and academic from Lancaster University in the UK, Paul Farley.

Ian Marchant associates the landscape at the mouth of the River Lune with his friend and musical partner, Chas Ambler, who died nearly two years ago. In this personal exploration of his connection to the life of the river, Ian talks to poet Paul Farley about how to value un-romantic landscape. He meets Fiona Frank, one of the founder members of the Lancashire Co-Housing project , to discuss living in an 'intentional community' on the banks of the Lune. Lancaster has a little-known connection with the slave trade, which Ian discusses with Anthea Purkis from the city's Maritime Museum. Ian also visits Michelle Stevenson - or Chel - to talk about how she invited Chas to move into her family home at Glasson Dock for the last few weeks of his life, an act of extraordinary generosity. And if that isn't enough to reaffirm his faith in life, Ian meets haaf net fisherwoman, Margaret Owen, at the isolated north bank of the river, Sunderland Point. An unusual, moving and funny edition of Open Country exploring the dark side of the Lune.

The long- awaited Wonder Woman blockbuster movie has arrived amongst us mere mortals - prepare to be overwhelmed, puny mortals. A stage adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion has opened at The Manchester Royal Exchange. It's taken an unconventional approach and includes silver swimwear and a foam party - is this a step too far for a classic text or a bold new interpretation? The work of designers Lucienne Day and Barbara Brown can be seen at The Whitworth Gallery in Manchester. Their fabrics seems fresh, familiar and distinctive six decades after they were created Adam Thorpe's latest novel Missing Fay deals with a familiar trope in novels; the missing child.

To mark Tony Harrison's 80th birthday, Paul Farley presents a profile.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr explores how childhood experiences affect later life. The screenwriter Paul Abbott famously put his early life into the television series Shameless. Although his later work, including his latest police drama No Offence, moves far beyond his own experiences, he excels at finding the comedy in the tragic. In France the writer Édouard Louis has caused a storm with his brutal autobiographical novel about class, violence and sexuality. The book is his attempt to bury his childhood. The psychiatrist Gwen Adshead spent years working at Broadmoor Hospital studying the nature of human violence and looks at the moral choices people make. The poet Paul Farley is interested not in the early life of poets but in their dying. From Shelley's drowning to Sylvia Plath's desperate suicide their deaths have become the stuff of myth casting a backward shadow on their work, creating a skewed image of the poet's life as doomed and self-destructive.

A new series where the poet Paul Farley re-imagines technology we rely on but take for granted, taking the listener on unexpected journeys into technological environments. From subsea internet cables to heart valve surgery to cash in transit Paul makes us think again about the less seen but vital places and systems that make our world tick. In each programme he writes a poem, as a response to each environment. 3. Cardiac In an odyssey of a different kind, Paul follows the journey of a heart valve from its manufacturers in Milan to a patient in a UK hospital. One in twenty of us will suffer from valve complications in later life and that figure is rising as the population ages. From the perspective of one of the women working on the mechanical valve production lines, Paul's sonnets explore the life story of the valves and wrap around recordings of their assembly and the sophisticated surgery involved in their replacement. It's exactly 500 years since Leonardo da Vinci devised the first prosthetic heart valve, also in Milan. As well as telling the story of this miraculous mechanical object which can give people a second life Paul also reflects on the greatest piece of technology of all: the heart itself. Reader Aisling Loftus Produced by Neil McCarthy Sound Design Phil Channell Featuring, Roberto Casula and his team at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. Umberto Pasquali, Gianni Rolando, Sorin Group, Milan.

In a new series, the poet Paul Farley re-imagines technology we rely on but take for granted, taking the listener on unexpected journeys into technological environments. From subsea internet cables to artificial heart valves to cash in transit Paul makes us think again about the less seen but vital spaces and systems that make our world tick. In each programme he writes a poem, as a response to each environment. 1. Cables We all use the internet, but where exactly is it? Is it the cloud, is it wireless, is it satellite? First and foremost it's fibre optic cables that criss-cross the globe over land and especially under the sea, keeping the continents connected and our world online. Paul's poem slows down the lightspeed journey of an email from New York to London following it as it circles wrecks and deep sea abysses, pleasure beaches and roundabouts all the way to its final destination. Along the way he hears from the lighthouse keepers that maintain the optic connections, the cable layers on the high seas and the engineers who decode the light back into information. Reader Indira Varma Produced by Neil McCarthy Sound Design by Hana Walker-Brown and Phil Channell Featuring, in order of appearance: Richard Elliot, Apollo Submarine Calse Systems; Andrew Blum, author of "Tubes: Behind the Scenes at the Internet"; Emmanuel Desurvire, Thales; Tim Dickenson, Hibernia Networks; Stuart Wilson, Ian Griffith, Global Marine Systems; Gisele Lie, Hentong Group; Dave Dunk, GMS; Tim Anker, The Colocation Exchange; Mike Mackeeg, BBC.

In each programme he writes a poem, as a response to each environment. 2. Cash We expect an ATM to immediately serve up our cash, but how did that note get there? Where was it last week and where will it be tomorrow or the next day? Paul goes through the hole in the wall and follows the secret journey of a ten pound note as it passes through the hands of the cash industry. He gains rare access to one of the capital's cash processing centres, hidden in plain sight, which warehouses hundreds of millions of pounds and keeps money moving around society. He follows it from its birthplace on the Bank of England's printing press, through our pockets to the streets to the counting house and back again until the note is withdrawn from circulation and is turned into the most valuable compost in the world. Reader Paul Hilton Produced by Neil McCarthy Sound Design by Phil Channell Contributors, in order of appearance: Andy Phillips, Gopal Kutwaroo NCR, Andy Cruikshank G4S; Victoria Cleland, Head of Notes, Bank of England.

With Kirsty Lang. When The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour was broadcast on BBC One on Boxing Day in 1967, it marked what some saw at the time as their fall from grace and others saw as an audacious countercultural moment. As the BBC prepares to screen the film again, and it's released on DVD, poet Paul Farley decides whether the trip is worth a detour. Actress Anne-Marie Duff first reached a wide audience playing Fiona in the acclaimed TV drama Shameless. She discusses her latest stage performance, in the title role in Jean Racine's Berenice, and also reflects on her interest in writing, and her love of a particular long-running Radio 4 drama serial. Artist David Shrigley is about to open his second major exhibition of the year, and is also publishing his version of a self-help book. His exhibition How Are You Feeling? features drawings, paintings, sculpture, videos and live performance in his humorous deadpan style. He reveals why he wants to help us cope with "an increasingly crazy and poorly signposted world". The romantic view of the pop or rock band is that ambition and charisma matter more than technical ability on musical instruments. The Royal Northern College of Music thinks it's high time that approach received a polish, and is launching a degree in popular music performance. Course Director Andy Stott outlines why he believes a conservatoire training will help tomorrow's chart and stadium stars. Producer Ekene Akalawu.
