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 29 November
*** The State We're In ***
We focus on the right to life and security during the Gaza blockade. We meet Palestinian fisherman who can't make a living because of Israeli security restrictions, and an Israeli woman whose home has been hit three times by Hamas' rockets.
Then, we look at education in the Arab world, and ask why millions of children are being denied the right to learn, and why the Arab world has fallen so far behind. And, we meet a woman in the US who decided to make her neighbourhood public school a place parents wanted to send their kids.

** Curious Orange ***
It's a radio show, it's a website, it's a lifestyle. It's Curious Orange -
30 minutes of Dutchness on Radio Netherlands Worldwide
We'll hear about scientology in the Netherlands - whether it'll take hold... or be banned. And, with the government reviewing and re-evaluating euthanasia legislation, we hear a doctor's perspective on the right to die.
Of course, Perro de Jong will be in. He'll turn his "Critical Eye" to a 104-year-old Dutch singer who's not exactly being welcomed back to his home town in Holland. And we'll hear a "dodelijk" listener Lost in Translation story. To lighten things up, we'll feature music from Voicst - a Dutch indy band with an international following.
