** Curious Orange ***
We'll take our insider-outsider theme a little bit further... and we'll look at integration in the Netherlands. Is there a lack of integration? And does this explain the popularity of politician Geert Wilders and his anti-Islamic stance?
We'll hear another political perspective from Ella Vogelaar. She's the new Minister of Integration and she wants to make some changes.
Also on the show, Sandesh Bhugaloo, a recent immigrant from Mauritius, will tell us what integration - or "inburgering" - is like from the inside.
And, finally, our political editor John Tyler, will tell us a bit about the integration of the next generation, that is, ending segregation in Holland's school system.

*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
We look at the little covered protests in Cameroon at the end of February. The official death toll was 40, but human rights organizations put the figure at well over 100. People continue to be arrested and tortured. Jonathan speaks with conflict correspondent, Eric Beauchemin, one of the few journalists to have visited Cameroon since the protests. We hear from a victim, human rights activists, and the country's most senior Catholic leader.
This week's theme is "Changing the System from Within", so we meet the Wall Street trader who quit his job and founded a resource for people who want to make money on the stock market and try to do some good while they're at it.
We report on the Bolivian migrants working in sweatshops in Argentina who have found an alternative way to work inside the textile industry.
And reporter Louise Williams tells the tale of the project that aims to change the eating habits of kids by changing the habits of their schools - from the inside.

Ruth Lasters - 'The Connector'
This modern fairy tale is by one of Belgium's most up-and-coming young writers. A man named Tony makes remarkably strong connections to everyone he meets. But when this becomes an uncontrollable compulsion and therapy is unable to help, Tony finds himself turning into a local tourist attraction.

Vandana Shiva has a seed bank in the foothills of the Himalayas - where pulse, lentils, grains and rice seeds are stored in an effort to maintain the bio diversity of species threatened by extinction and by the non re-generating seeds forced onto Indian farmers by the giant seed corporations like Monsanto.
Thijs Westerbeek reports on latest developments in saline agriculture - where scientists are developing food crops that can be grown on coastal areas with high levels of salt in the soil.
And we hear of the secret story behind the vegetables we know and love - how much longer will they look the way they do now?
