Curious Orange [primary programme]
It's a radio show, it's a website, it's a lifestyle. It's Curious Orange -
30 minutes of Dutchness on Radio Netherlands Worldwide
This week on Curious Orange... it's the second part of our series on classical music, the Dutch way.
The host of our Live from the Concertgebouw series Hans Haffmans will, once again, tell us all about the classical music tradition here in Holland. This week we'll hear about contemporary classical music and the festival tradition here in the Netherlands.
That's this week on Curious Orange.

Earthbeat (repeat programme)
Dheera Sujan looks at the footprint we're leaving on our planet
Earthbeat this week looks at why there's a desperate need for naval escorts to take food into Somalia. We hear of a technology that sucks up oil seepage from shipwrecks. We look at the deadly cost of malaria and discover why medicines for this disease that claims millions of lives every year have been so slow to come on the market, and we hear of the treatment of malaria in Myanmar.

The State We're In, Midweek Report
Jonathan Groubert and his team look at current events from an unexpected perspective
This week in TSWI, reporter Jonah Engle tells host Jonathan Groubert about how African American victims of crime in Newark, New Jersey have so little faith in law enforcement and so great a fear of retribution, that they have simply stopped reporting crimes, even murders, to the police.
We look at the right to clean air. Scientists from the Dutch National Institute of Public Health and the Environment tell Jonathan exactly what clean air is and why, when and how it gets polluted. A denizen of Bankok tells us that she loves walks walking so much, she's willing to ignore the pollution, as well as the furrowed brows of the middle classes. And a Dutch SUV owner explains why he feels he has the right to pollute the air if he wants to.
Finally, there's peace in Northern Uganda after decades of war, but not all of the fighters, most of the children, have returned home, often for fear of retribution. But as Journalist Pieternel Gruppen tells Jonathan, radio is now being used to convince them to come out of the bush and home to their communties.
27 TUESDAY 1 JULY
Bridges with Africa [repeat programme]
Lively discussion and thought-provoking reports about and from the African continent.
In this week's program: there's one topic we cannot afford to let go: Zimbabwe. What has happened between the first round of elections in March and today? What's life like in the country? And is there a way out? Or are there no answers to Zimbabwe's depening crisis?
And in stark contrast, we have a celebration. 40 years of the Radio Netherlands Training Centre. To mark the occasion, we brought together three formidable journalists, from Uganda, Nigeria and Mozambique. They go head to head in our Big Round Table on media and development.
And to cap it all, we have new music from one of Mali's most talented singer/songwriters.

Global Perspective (primary programme)
'Living with the Water Wolf' - by Vivien Jones
During the summer months we take a break from RadioBooks to present our annual Global Perspective series. Eight national and international broadcasters give their local perspective on a topic of global interest. This year the theme is Escape.
Over two thousand years ago the Dutch began digging simple ditches to drain water from their boggy ground. With this small act they embarked on millennia of attempting to escape what the 17th century Dutch poet Vondel called "the water wolf." Dutch efforts to escape the threat posed by water on land which is mainly below sea level continue today. "Living with the Water Wolf" is presented by Michele Ernsting.
