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 August
*** The State We're In ***
A Russian citizen who was arrested and beaten by the police has taken his attackers to court, but still feels far from safe.
A journalist who spent ten years as a detective in the Petersburg "heavy crime" unit explains the corruption and lawlessness of the Russian police that made him quit the force, and how people describe the police as their number one fear.
In this week's theme 'The Right to Silence' Jonathan speaks to UK's leading anti-noise protester, Dr Lars Jarup tells us about his study of airplane noise and writer Piya Kochhar reflects on the soundscape of her home city, Delhi, where the noise just doesn't stop.
Brandon Robshaw is a professor of philosophy at a British college. On the day he was giving a lesson on the meaning of tolerance, a student was in shrouded from head to toe in a Burqa. Should he kick her out or let her stay?
We speak with 21-year-old Nathan Royle from Adelaide, Australia who is one of a growing number of people from around the world who now describe themselves as 'asexual'. He tells us what led to the realisation that he has no desire to have sex with anyone ever again.

'A Brief History of Deceit' - by Herman Koch
Amsterdam author Herman Koch has enjoyed a spot on the Dutch best-seller list all summer with his latest novel 'Het Diner' (The Dinner). His popular appeal finds an excellent illustration in his contribution for Radio Books. The author/narrator explores early life lessons regarding truth and lies in both serious and whimsical fashion. But a surprising revelation at the end leaves us wondering what is true and what lies in the imagination of the writer.

*** Earthbeat (primary programme) ***
Fixing things, we'll be meeting a group of artists who think we should repair more. They've been teaching the citizens of Amsterdam the lost art of mending their belongings, rather than chucking them out.
And, as electronics giant Philips stops making 100 watt light bulbs and homes are set to become fitted with energy saving ones we hear if they are so efficient after-all.
Earthbeat will be shedding light on these topics and more on this week's programme.
