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 JANUARY 17
*** The State We're In ***
This week we look at the right to access and mobility for disabled people. Monique Wijnen gets around in a large electric wheelchair. In the Netherlands, laws guarantee her access to educational buildings and her workplace - but services such as restaurants and shops can throw up big obstacles for her. We'll compare Monique's situation with a disabled person in India, where there are no laws enabling access - and to the United States where disability laws guarantee access to all buildings, at least on paper.
This week's theme is human rights and architecture. Buildings and infrastructure greatly influence our well-being and how we interact - so should we have the right to live and work in buildings which make us happier. Graeme Bristol of the Centre for Architecture and Human Rights considers the merits of a slum improvement project in India, homes designed by children in Italy and the legacy of post-war construction in Rotterdam. We also visit the world's first prison designed on human rights principles in Australia.
We end the show with a commentary from Kannan Arunasalam in Sri Lanka. Language is central to the conflict there between the majority Sinhalese ethnic group and the minority Tamils. Tamil, Kannan Arunasalam refused to learn Sinhala for political reason - but a recent meeting with a Sinhalese policeman inspired him to sign up for his first lesson.

*** Curious Orange ***
This week on Curious Orange mixed cultures. We hear from Dutch-Moroccan - or is it Moroccan-Dutch? - singer Hind Laroussi about growing up in a bi-cultural family and from a boy who says he's neither Dutch, British, or Belgian, but simply 'European'.
And, speaking of mixed cultures, we find out whether all the 'typical Dutch' things we talk about are actually Dutch at all. Finally, we'll hear music from our Dutch feature artist de Staat.

'The Coward's Crusade' - by Jan van Aken
Author Jan van Aken has been called 'the Dutch Umberto Eco' because of his elegant, witty and complex historical stories. Since his literary debut in 2000 he has written five novels, the latest being 'King for a Day' set in the 6th century B.C.
For Radio Books, van Aken brings us back to the European Middle Ages: a time of crusades, Holy Wars and - in this case - a forbidden love affair between a lowly Master of Arms and a beautiful Countess.

*** Earthbeat ***
This week on Earthbeat look at the future of the world's energy supplies. Joining us will be James Woudhuysen, political energy expert and author of a new book 'Energise', which argues that we shouldn't feel guilty about our carbon footprint. He claims the solution lies not with the small steps of the individual, but with governments and industry. No more guilt about leaving the television on stand-by!

*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
This week we look at the right to access and mobility for disabled people. Monique Wijnen gets around in a large electric wheelchair. In the Netherlands, laws guarantee her access to educational buildings and her workplace - but services such as restaurants and shops can throw up big obstacles for her. We'll compare Monique's situation with a disabled person in India, where there are no laws enabling access - and to the United States where disability laws guarantee access to all buildings, at least on paper.
This week's theme is human rights and architecture. Buildings and infrastructure greatly influence our well-being and how we interact - so should we have the right to live and work in buildings which make us happier.
Graeme Bristol of the Centre for Architecture and Human Rights considers the merits of a slum improvement project in India, homes designed by children in Italy and the legacy of post-war construction in Rotterdam. We also visit the world's first prison designed on human rights principles in Australia.

'The Coward's Crusade' - by Jan van Aken
Author Jan van Aken has been called 'the Dutch Umberto Eco' because of his elegant, witty and complex historical stories. Since his literary debut in 2000 he has written five novels, the latest being 'King for a Day' set in the 6th century B.C.
For Radio Books, van Aken brings us back to the European Middle Ages: a time of crusades, Holy Wars and - in this case - a forbidden love affair between a lowly Master of Arms and a beautiful Countess.

*** Earthbeat ***
This week on Earthbeat look at the future of the world's energy supplies. Joining us will be James Woudhuysen, political energy expert and author of a new book 'Energise', which argues that we shouldn't feel guilty about our carbon footprint. He claims the solution lies not with the small steps of the individual, but with governments and industry. No more guilt about leaving the television on stand-by!
