*** Earthbeat (primary programme) ***

On this week's show we look at dead zones. They sound like a bad thing, and they are: massive areas of the sea where oxygen levels are so low that marine life faces a tough choice; swim away or die. And guess who's to blame? Yup, it's us. So what did we do, how bad is the problem, and what can we do about it?

*** Curious Orange (repeat programme) ***

This week on Curious Orange... it's part two of our series on the Dutch in Afghanistan - "Just Doing My Job".

We'll hear stories of soldiers working, fighting, and rebuilding in Afghanistan... including the guy who walks in front of the trucks - scanning for road-side bombs, a police officer who volunteered to go to Uruzgan to train Afghan police troops, a civilian who goes off-base to help Afghan farmers - without helmet, flak-jacket, weapon or any military presence, an "infidel-helping" interpreter, and an army photographer who had to put down his camera to pick up - and use - his gun.
