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 17 MAY
*** The State We're In ***
This week we ask if the military government in Myanmar has the right to prevent the international community from delivering aid to victims of Cyclone Nargis? Or do the victims have a right to international aid? We ask an international law expert as well as aid workers on the Thai-Burma border who are taking great risks to bring supplies into the country.
Can or should some books be banned? A German writer tells us why he feels Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' should stay banned in Germany. It has been almost 20 years since writer Salman Rushdie was forced to go into hiding after the Iranian authorities threatened to have him assassinated for writing 'The Satanic Verses'. But what is it like to be a banned writer from Iran itself? We speak with a best-selling author who has been in prison four times.
We finish with two stories of the mafia: Misha Glenny, the author of 'McMafia', tells us about his investigation into the spread of transnational crime since the break-up of the Soviet bloc.
And we meet Silvana Fucito who first made national headlines in Italy when she decided to break the traditional wall of silence and take a public stand against the local mob. As a result, Silvana has become a figurehead for the fight against 'la cosa nostra' and was even named one of Time Magazine's European heroes of 2005.

'Reno' by Mark Boog
A lonely and mentally unstable man hates his boring job. Inspired by a song on the radio, he decides to take a day off work and becomes possessed by the notion that either he or the world around him is not real. Should he perform some explosive act to find out which is which? 'Reno' is Mark Boog's disturbing contribution to Radio Books.

Lively discussion and thought-provoking reports about and from the African continent. We give the microphone to Diaspora groups in Europe and linking up with stations in Africa.
This week on Bridges with Africa we'll update you on the global food crisis and the riots in Ivory Coast. And as global life expectancy rises, growing old in Africa proves to be more challenging than ever. We talk to experts about this and we ask how Africa is addressing the issue.
Also part two in our series on Robert Mugabe: from liberation hero to out-and-out zero. But the story is not as black and white as we think.
And best-selling Dutch-Liberian author Vamba Sherif shares his passion for Liberia's history.

'Reno' by Mark Boog
A lonely and mentally unstable man hates his boring job. Inspired by a song on the radio, he decides to take a day off work and becomes possessed by the notion that either he or the world around him is not real. Should he perform some explosive act to find out which is which? 'Reno' is Mark Boog's disturbing contribution to Radio Books.

*** Bridges with Africa ***
Lively discussion and thought-provoking reports about and from the African continent. We give the microphone to Diaspora groups in Europe and linking up with stations in Africa.
This week on Bridges with Africa we'll update you on the global food crisis and the riots in Ivory Coast. And as global life expectancy rises, growing old in Africa proves to be more challenging than ever. We talk to experts about this and we ask how Africa is addressing the issue.
Also part two in our series on Robert Mugabe: from liberation hero to out-and-out zero. But the story is not as black and white as we think.
And best-selling Dutch-Liberian author Vamba Sherif shares his passion for Liberia's history.
