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 12 April
*** The State We're In ***
Agflation comes down to the high and rising cost of food around the world. It's causing consternation in the West, but in the developing world it's causing riots. Experts say food prices may be the number one source of future wars in Africa. So we look at how agflation is affecting life in Somalia, Holland, Chicago and Peru. Plus the World Food Program's Senior Food Security Officer tells us how the increased price of food now means they can't buy nearly the amount they used to. Who goes hungry? The world's poorest and most vulnerable people.
We make a little noise about the right to silence. So we talk about the endless nature of noise in New Delhi. We meet the English woman who got so irritated at her next door neighbour's choice in loud music, she became a national anti-noise campaigner. And a noise philosopher tells us why we need silence to stay healthy.
Finally, two stories from the Middle East. The first is the tale of the Ramallah High School students who, in an attempt to show Palestinian life as, well, normal, set the bard's tale of star-crossed lovers in Romeo and Julie in Fair Palestine.
Want to let your friends and family know you love them while also making a political statement? Then go to www.sendamessage.nl where, for a reasonable price, you have a young Palestinian man spraying graffiti on the security wall that separates Israel from the West Bank.

Aukelien Weverling - 'The Song of Aunt Magda'
Aukelien Weverling is a Dutch writer and journalist who reflects on contemporary life in a nuanced, non-judgemental way. In The Song of Aunt Magda a young woman, Alyce, talks to her best friend Rose about her lonely Aunt Magda, who has just died, and to her Moroccan boyfriend, Arkan, who has just left. She gives a surprising speech at her Aunt's funeral, with thoughts that range from the nature of relationships, to stereotypes, prejudice and the context of our values.
