MONDAY 15 June
*** Curious Orange (primary program) ***
We've all heard of the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt. But what about his friend and contemporary Jan Lievens? We'll tell you why history has forgotten him.
And, Dutch women don't seem to want to be "on top", at least not in the police force. Political Editor John Tyler will explain why the glass ceiling in the police force is twice as thick as in other professions.
And finally, Robbert Tilli from the Music Center of the Netherlands will tell us all about this week's Dutch feature artist, Salah Edin.

*** Network Europe Week ***
A collaboration by Europe's leading broadcasters
A pan-European team links up across the continent every day to provide a fresh perspective on events and life in Europe. If you missed any editions of Network Europe satisfy your needs with this digest of the programme's top stories.
The votes have been counted in the EU elections - we look at the winners and the losers and analyse how the parliament will change. Also on the programme: Can European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso keep his job? Literature lovers set themselves a summer challenge - but can they stay on the same page? And we meet a bike chain gang doing a penal Tour de France.

*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
ALMOST MURDERED IN MOGADISHU: Ahmed Tajir is a journalist with Radio Shabelle in Mogadishu, Somalia. On 7 June 2009, he and his boss were attacked by gunmen in a market. He tells Jonathan about his ordeal, and his hope to flee Somalia before he is killed for his work.
BREAKING THE RULES IN LITHUANIA: Audrius Braukyla
is head of news for Lithuania Radio. He tells Jonathan about what it was like to work under Soviet rule, and about the press freedom that came to Lithuania two years before the fall of the USSR.
THIS WEEK'S THEME: "The Right to Be Fat"
PROUD TO BE FAT: The leader of the fat pride movement in the United States Marilyn Wann, who weighs 285 pounds (or 129 kilos), was spurred into action when her health insurance was denied. She says we live in a "fat-hating society" and calls for an end to the institutionalised discrimination and social ostracism inflicted on large people. Marilyn claims she has a right to be fat and argues strongly that fat people can be just as healthy as anyone else.
VIEWS ON FAT PEOPLE: Ginger Gorman went into a busy Amsterdam bar and asked people what they thought when they saw an obese person on the street. The answers ranged from pity and moral outrage to assumptions that a fat person's life must be really hard and that they must be unhealthy.
ANTI-FAT HEALTH EXPERT: Experts describe obesity as a "pandemic" which threatens to overwhelm health systems around the globe. Given this, does anyone have the right to be fat? Dr John Tickell is an Australian health and longevity expert with strong views on obesity. When asked whether people have a right to be fat, his answer was unequivocal: "That right is yours, the question is: Are you disadvantaging the rest of society?"

*** Earthbeat (repeat from Thursday) ***
Belgium is traditionally known for its hearty, and some might say heart attack inducing, cuisine. But for one day a week, the citizens of one town are being encouraged to ignore the steak and look kindly on lentils, as Ghent introduces Vegetarian Thursday. I take a trip to this European veggie hotspot, to see how the idea is catching on.
Also on the show, nearly ten years ago, a disease swept the Samoan Islands, virtually obliterating its core crop, taro. What lesson have been learnt? And we ask what place religion has in saving the environment and why we disagree about climate change at all.
