Street Cheer is a mix of street dance and cheerleading and is one of the fastest growing sports for girls and teenagers in the country. At a time when Sport England has just announced its Active Women project to encourage women's participation in sport, Street Cheer is aimed at the age group where young women most often drop out of PE at school, leading to a lifelong pattern of inactivity. It's designed to be affordable, accessible and to appeal to young women who're not attracted by traditional team games.

Gorby at 80: in March the former Soviet leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Mikhail Gorbachev, will celebrate his 80th birthday. To mark this event, a gala fundraising concert is being organised at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Gorbachev's granddaughters, Ksenia Gorbacheva and Anastasia Virganskaya, have been involved in organising and promoting the concert. Jenni will be talking to Ksenia about the concert, her childhood memories of her grandparents and her grandfather's legacy, and to Oksana Antonenko, Senior Fellow at The International Institute for Strategic Studies.

Alison Gangel's autobiographical first novel, The Sun Hasn't Fallen from the Sky, tells the story of two sisters growing up with their hard-drinking parents in the poor tenements of Glasgow at the end of the sixties. When their father's alcoholism threatens to destroy the family, the girls are sent into care at a children's home away from the city. There Ailsa meets Mr Shaughnessy, a piano teacher, and her life is set on a different path. The Sun Hasn't Fallen from the Sky is Radio 4's Book of the Week starting Monday 24th January.
