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 MAY
*** The State We're In ***
A prison survivor's tale: Jung Gwang Il spent three years in a North Korean labour camp. While the country is notoriously closed to outsiders, the camps themselves are barely known within the country. And not many people live to talk about their time in one. Jung Gwang Il tells Jonathan how he survived the camp and escaped to South Korea.
Context: Marcus Noland from the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, DC listens to Jung Gwang Il's story, and draws parallels between North Korea's belligerence towards neighbouring countries and its treatment of its own citizens.
A prison guard's escape: An Myeong Chul was a prison guard for eight years in North Korea. He saw prisoners starved, executed and he even beat them himself - believing that they were all enemies of the state. But when he learned that he could wind up in prison himself, he stole a truck and escaped to China. Now all he wants is for the two Koreas to unite, and forgiveness for what he did. (Originally broadcast 9 January 2010)
Context: Marcus Noland responds to An Myeong Chul's story and assesses North Korea's place in the world community. Kwanju massacre remembered: Thirty years ago, South Korea massacred at least 200 of its own citizens during a political uprising. Mrs Ahn was a nurse supervisor at a hospital in Gwangju, and tells Jonathan why she will never forget the day fighting broke out.

'Arusha' - by Tom Naegals
Flemish author Tom Naegals calls himself a 'social writer.' In his Radio Books story, a young Belgian man travels to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. He wants to discover the 'real Africa' and stays for a few days in Arusha. The story is a disturbing look at the chasm between different cultures. It uncovers how the individual can create, unwittingly, even greater barriers and how ignorance can re-enforce stereotypes.

The earth will be destroyed by flood, drought and pollution, and most of the world's seven billion inhabitants will not survive the resulting famine and wars as we fight for the planet's few remaining resources. Or at least that's the doom-laden prophecy often used to sell the message of climate change. But is all this talk of eco apocalypse scaring children? On Earth Beat, we look at climate change from a child's point of view.

*** Earth Beat ***
The earth will be destroyed by flood, drought and pollution, and most of the world's seven billion inhabitants will not survive the resulting famine and wars as we fight for the planet's few remaining resources. Or at least that's the doom-laden prophecy often used to sell the message of climate change. But is all this talk of eco apocalypse scaring children? On Earth Beat, we look at climate change from a child's point of view.
