SATURDAY 12 JULY*** The State We're In ***
This week in the State We're In we ask, Is cheap fuel a right? We hear from people in the UK and Malaysia who are feeling more than just a pinch from high fuel prices. Host Jonathan talks with Shamell White of Shreveport, Louisiana about her need to have a car and oil industry analyst Chris Skrebowski about the right to affordable fuel.
We're also talking about Minority Language Rights. Belgian writer Geert van Istendael tries to make sense out of the competition between French and Flemish Dutch in bilingual Brussels.
And a mayor offering multilingual services to his Kurdish constituents may not sound like a big deal, but in Turkey it not only got him thrown out of office, he's also facing decades in prison.
Finally ahead of the Olympics, we report on attempts by the Chinese government to get the notoriously pushy Chinese to mind their manners and queue up in line.

*** Global Perspective ***
"Where the Buffalo Roam"
During the summer months we take a break from RadioBooks to present our annual Global Perspective series. Eight national and international broadcasters give their local perspective on a topic of global interest. This year the theme is Escape.
Hong Kong is well known as a community made from refugees, expatriates and people looking to escape their lives back home and build new ones. It may come as a surprise to learn that this densely populated place appeals not only to foreign humans but certain non-native animals as well.
In "Where the Buffalo Roam" Sarah Passmore from RTHK looks at how creatures from birds to bovines, reptiles to rhesus monkeys have become unlikely but permanent residents.
