[Swprograms] Fwd: Radio Netherlands Worldwide PROGRAMME PREVIEW Saturday 20 - Friday 26 December 2008

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

In my NASWA Easy Listening column for December I speculated that RNW
would have a documentary in place of "Newsline" on its Christmas Day /
Christmas Night transmissions.  Judging by the weekly program preview
below, that doesn't appear to be the case this year.

However, "Earthbeat" will be having a special year-end edition.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide PROGRAMME PREVIEW Saturday 20 - Friday 26
December 2008

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 20 December

*** The State We're In ***
 We ask if there's a right to a functioning government, with a look at
the total collapse of government services in Zimbabwe, and the not as
dangerous but still confusing political situation in Belgium.

Then, the right to reproduce: we hear about a doctor forced to offer
reproductive therapy to a teenager, against her better judgement. We
hear from a woman who was forced to have an abortion in China, and an
essay about the challenges of infertility.

And we discuss the protection of children's rights with two South
African women who run a home for abused young people.

*** Radio Books ***
'The Little Impostor' - by Fouad Laroui

This season Radio Books highlights work from the diverse immigrant
community of the Netherlands and Belgium. Fouad Laroui was born in
Morocco, attended university in Paris and now teaches and writes in
Amsterdam.

Identity is an important theme in Laroui's work and certainly in his
Radio Books story. At a French Lyceum in Casablanca, all the boys are
going home for Christmas holidays except Mehdi. What must he do to
experience a French-style family Christmas?
