*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
Jonathan Groubert and his team look at current events from an unexpected perspective
Child witches: In parts of Southern Nigeria most people believe in witchcraft. The last few years has seen a worrying trend in accusing children of the practise. Some have suffered horrible abuse as a consequence. Sam Ikpe-Itauma has been trying to help them. He set up a centre in 2003 and now has more than two hundred children seeking shelter there. He's attempting to change attitudes and minds in a hostile environment.
Witches camps: There are six witches camps in Northern Ghana. They're places of sanctuary for women who've been accused of witchcraft. Perhaps a baby has died or someone in their village has contracted malaria. In this part of the world it's generally witchcraft that is blamed. An American journalist travels to Gambaga and witnesses first hand an accused witch being brought into the camp.

We speak to those doing good deeds for the planet; an archbishop prepared to go the extra mile and give up carbon, the creator of Lent Roulette whose own challenge was to pee outside for 40 days and 40 nights.

'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.
