Welcome to our weekly guide to Radio Netherlands Worldwide's English Service - a list of the new programmes coming up on Radio Netherlands Worldwide this week, beginning on Saturday.
SATURDAY 6 MARCH
*** The State We're In ***
Turkmenistan: Andrei Zatoka fell in love with Turkmenistan's natural riches: its snakes, lizards and wildlife. He was an environmentalist there for 27 years, until he fell afoul of a corrupt, dictatorial government. They arrested him twice, sentenced him to prison and destroyed his research. Still, he dreams of returning.
Uganda poaching: Correspondent David Rupiny in Kampala travels to northern Uganda where poaching big game is rampant. He talks to two poachers, one who still poaches unapologetically, and the other who quit - but is considering returning.
Home and native land: Gerald Taiaiake Alfred has a commentary about how his life changed while hunting moose in British Columbia. After stumbling onto a grizzly bear's kill, he discovered a newfound sense of what being native actually means.
Dilemma - defending the indefensible: Michele Caianiello in Bologna, Italy once had to defend a child rapist. He tells Jonathan how he went against his professional judgement and let his defendant take the stand - a decision that led to his client's conviction.
Listener follow up: Joshua Stanton heard a programme we did on North Korean prison camps in February. He then contacted us about his own unusual hobby: using satellite images to see where North Korean prison camps are.

'Durga's Court' (Orig. Broadcast September 2006)
In a small Indian village people come to Shabnam Ramaswamy's court. It's a forum for the poor, the illiterate; those who have neither money nor influence. Sitting in judgment like Durga, the ten-armed Hindu goddess of vengeance, Shabnam wields a power which is a mystery to those who stand before her. Dheera Sujan won a Bronze Medal from the United Nations for this program.

'Becoming Rebecca West' (Orig. Broadcast May 2005)
British writer Rebecca West's life spanned most of the 20th century. At 14 she became involved in the suffrage movement, had affairs with Charlie Chaplin and H.G. Wells, and Time Magazine called her the greatest women's writer in the world. Her great-niece and an actress talk to David Swatling about how they were inspired by her.

'Durga's Court' (Orig. Broadcast September 2006)
In a small Indian village people come to Shabnam Ramaswamy's court. It's a forum for the poor, the illiterate; those who have neither money nor influence. Sitting in judgment like Durga, the ten-armed Hindu goddess of vengeance, Shabnam wields a power which is a mystery to those who stand before her. Dheera Sujan won a Bronze Medal from the United Nations for this program.

'Running with Atalanta' (Orig. Broadcast February 2006)
Two young women were studying law - one in the Netherlands and the other in Latvia. Ten years later their lives would intersect in what the United Nations calls the fastest growing criminal activity in the world: human trafficking. Both women have written about their experiences - one as an advocate and the other as a victim of trafficking. David Swatling won a Prix Marulic award for the programme at a festival in Croatia.
