A second-year medical school student at Vanderbilt University in the US plans on becoming a primary care physician, and he reflects on what US health insurance reform will mean for his career and his hopes to get out of debt.
Every day 70 children are made orphans in Zimbabwe, their parents taken by AIDS or violence. Musa and the children in her care are amongst the 400,000 children in the country who live in a household without an adult carer. Jonathan Groubert talks to Musa about her life and responsibilities.

*** Live! at the Concertgebouw ***
Phenomenal performances by Dutch top orchestras.
Live! at the Concertgebouw 2007
Hans Haffmans is taking you through the seasons, with Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mahler and Poulenc. It's evident why the seasons have inspired and challenged so many composers: they provide a natural variety in rhythm, tone and atmosphere that is begging to be put into music, as co-host Sylvia Wilson points out.
Live! at the Concertgebouw 2008
The programme's regular co-host Bart Visman's composition Sables, Oxygènes is premiered in this show, preceded by Debussy's Printemps. Both are performed by the Limburg Symphony Orchestra. After the break it's Ravel's masterpiece, Daphnis et Chloe.

*** Earthbeat (primary programme) ***
On this week's Earthbeat we take a walk on the wild side and find out why bison are enjoying their new home in the sandunes of the Netherlands. We go in search of a pack of wolves in Germany who, despite being elusive, are causing controversy between hunters and environmentalists and we hear from the dodo - well uncover a skeleton at least which points to more clues to why it died out.
So whether endangered species or extinct ones, an interesting mix on this week's programme.

*** European Jazz Stage/ World Music ***
This year's European Jazz Festival in Rotterdam is about a month behind us. Time to look back over the past 30 years of the festival, which saw jazz giants like Phil Woods, Betty Carter, Toots Thielemans and Rob Madna appear in the festival hall.
All of that, on the European Jazz Stage with Daniel Frankl.
*** Live! at the Concertgebouw ***
Phenomenal performances by Dutch top orchestras.
Live! at the Concertgebouw 2007
Hans Haffmans is taking you through the seasons, with Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mahler and Poulenc. It's evident why the seasons have inspired and challenged so many composers: they provide a natural variety in rhythm, tone and atmosphere that is begging to be put into music, as co-host Sylvia Wilson points out.
Live! at the Concertgebouw 2008
The programme's regular co-host Bart Visman's composition Sables, Oxygènes is premiered in this show, preceded by Debussy's Printemps. Both are performed by the Limburg Symphony Orchestra. After the break it's Ravel's masterpiece, Daphnis et Chloe.

*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
This week on the show we look at the rights of patients and doctors under American health insurance.
Dr. Neva Bartholomew was doing the job she loved, working as a primary care physician, serving families she knew personally - until the red tape of US health insurance companies forced her out of the field.
A second-year medical school student at Vanderbilt University in the US plans on becoming a primary care physician, and he reflects on what US health insurance reform will mean for his career and his hopes to get out of debt.
Every day 70 children are made orphans in Zimbabwe, their parents taken by AIDS or violence. Musa and the children in her care are amongst the 400,000 children in the country who live in a household without an adult carer. Jonathan Groubert talks to Musa about her life and responsibilities.
Paul Peterson was a Mouseketeer and Donna Reed's TV son. Today he campaigns against the exploitation of children in the entertainment industry.

*** Earthbeat (primary programme) ***
On this week's Earthbeat we take a walk on the wild side and find out why bison are enjoying their new home in the sandunes of the Netherlands. We go in search of a pack of wolves in Germany who, despite being elusive, are causing controversy between hunters and environmentalists and we hear from the dodo - well uncover a skeleton at least which points to more clues to why it died out.
So whether endangered species or extinct ones, an interesting mix on this week's programme.
