  • Radio Doc: Tunesië: Code Oranje Rood | Drie jaar na MH17 | 16-07-2017
    Tunesië: Code Oranje Rood: Hoe een veilige vakantiestemming te vinden in een wereld geteisterd door terreur? Documentairemaker Margot de Nooijer vertrouwt de tegenstrijdige reisadviezen van het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken niet en besluit om zelf op onderzoek te gaan in het 'levensgevaarlijke' Tunesië.Voorde risicobewuste vakantieganger lijkt de wereld steeds ontoegankelijker. Overal vinden aanslagen plaats en dus wordt het steeds moeilijker een veilige bestemming te vinden. Als bakens zijn er de reisadviezen van het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken dat naar eigen zeggen '24 uur per dag in de gaten houdt of het voor Nederlanders veilig is om naar het buitenland te reizen'. Maar de adviezen laten een eigenaardig beeld zien: Europese landen,waaronder Frankrijk en Groot-Brittannië, krijgen nog altijd codegroen (= geen bijzondere veiligheidsrisico's), terwijl er de laatste jaren meerdere aanslagen zijn gepleegd en vele doden vielen.Intussen krijgt een land als Tunesië een negatief reisadvies (code oranje rood = niet of alleen noodzakelijke reizen), terwijl hier sinds 2015 geen aanslagen meer zijn gepleegd en minder slachtoffers vielen.Radiomaker Margot de Nooijer besloot om uit te zoeken hoe het zit, en reisde af naar Tunesië, tegen het advies van het Ministerie in. Daar ontdekt ze dat een negatief reisadvies niet alleen de lokale economie treft,maar via een omweg ook grote gevolgen kan hebben voor Europa. - Drie jaar na MH17: Het lijkt wel of zijn leven moest bestaan uit grote verhalen. Zo was hij nog maar net afgestudeerd, toen hij verkiezingswaarnemer werd in het gevaarlijke Sierra Leone. Zijn coming out als homo deed hij hoogst origineel. Niet minder ongewoon was zijn tragische einde. In memoriam Pim de Kuijer (1981 - 2014).

  • Museum of Lost Objects: The Necklace That Divided Two Nations
    Seventy years ago, India and Pakistan became independent nations - but at a cost. People and lands were partitioned, and a once shared heritage was broken apart. Kanishk Tharoor explores the tussle for ancient history and the prized artefacts of the Indus Valley civilization. There was a bureaucratic saga over the fates of the priest-king, the dancing girl, and the jade necklace so precious to both India and Pakistan that neither country could let the other have it whole. Presented by Kanishk Tharoor Produced by Maryam Maruf Contributors: Maruf Khwaja; Saroj Mukherji; Vazira Fazila-Yacoubali Zamindar, Brown University; Sudeshna Guha, Shiv Nadar University With thanks to Anwesha Sengupta, Institute of Development Studies Kolkata Image: The Mohenjo Daro jade necklace that was cut in two.
