Unquestionably, some songs move our hearts and sympathies in a way that straight facts could never achieve.

	Here Comes the Bride - Radio New Internationalist Fresh from this year's International Women's Day celebrations, this week the Radio New Internationalist team pay tribute to the women of the world and the challenges that confront them as a result of marriage. While changing roles of women in public life, laws to stop obstacles to education such as the marriage of girl-brides and greater availability to contraception are gradually improving women's lives, progress is slow...

	01-2008 Raise those voices high - Radio New Internationalist While countries that proudly claim to be 'democracies' are supposed to bask in the beauty of different voices and ideas, the reality seems quite different. All too often, its small pockets of people pushing limited agendas that get access to reporters, policy makers and politicians. In fact, the only time that the voices of most people are clearly heard by those in power is through the ballot box - and even then in some countries they're robbed of that chance...

	Common Senses - Radio New Internationalist Common senses While mainstream media steer a hard right away from good news stories, the everyday ‘wins’ of ordinary people are getting ignored. As a consequence, opportunities to be inspired by and learn from the victories of progressive people in other countries get lost. This program showcases progressive people who are using common senses to get their messages across: people presenting their messages through our five bodily senses – taste, sight, hearing, touch and smell – in a way t...

	Radio New Internationalist - Mobile talking - Radio New Internationalist The marketing mavericks of mobile phones should take a bow. Theyâre getting some astounding results. According to a recent report from the United Nations, more than two thirds of the worldâs population are now mobile cell phone subscribers. In the United Kingdom and Hong Kong thereâs actually more mobile phone subscribers than people. So todayâs guests pull out their mobile phones (or cell phones as their called in some countries) and press the âonâ button... Keywords: mobile; cell phones; China; UK; Sri Lanka Downloads: 526
	Chocolate - Radio New Internationalist This program's full of tasty treats. It's all about chocolate. Luscious and lovely, it's a product that's starting to light up the fair trade lists. Sweet and satisfying, it's been hailed over the centuries as a sexual stimulant. But when it comes to chocolate desserts, there's little that's just. The country producing over forty per cent of the cocoa to make the world's chocolate is still relying on child slaves and forced labourers...

	Cyber Crimes - Radio New Internationalist Next time you're downloading a film or music through the internet, spare a thought for Hew Griffiths, 44 years old, unemployed and now languishing in a jail half a world away from his home. Unlike most of the other inmates, he's not there for doing drugs, theft or assault. Rather, his crime was to belong to a group that cracked security codes of some of the United States' biggest media moguls, giving group members access to software and games that - if downloaded - could have been accessed free ...

	Democratic Conventions - Radio New Internationalist Now that products are being pumped out into already saturated markets, it's not surprising that the culture that capitalism creates is centred on: 'Me! Me! More! More!'. For many, life's main goal has become: 'The one with the most toys wins'. We often hear how soul-destroying this culture can be. But what does it do for our political structures? The rich terrain that we're tilling in this program is whether capitalism is cultivating democracy, or killing it...

	Kiss My Bottom Line - Radio New Internationalist Throughout the last decade, companies have told us that they want to be lean as well as green. The mad, bad days when corporations were only on about money and shareholders is over, they say. An aggressive corporate culture must be combined with community spirit; profit must not dominate the public interest. About time! But is it really happening? • To set the scene, New Internationalist co-editor Jess Worth went to a $5,500-per-ticket corporate conference on corporate social responsibility...

	Not the only game in town - Radio New Internationalist This week on Radio New Internationalist… Not the only game in town Remember last year’s G8 Summit at Gleneagles in Scotland last year – when rock-stars and NGOs combined to Make Poverty History? The G8 leaders responded with speeches and promises to make massive increases to aid for Africa. Their promises now lie in a broken pile. As the leaders of the Western World gear up for the G8 Summit in the German coastal town of Heiligendamm in early June this year, campaigners are collecting to p...

	Pulp Friction - Radio New Internationalist Whether you're living in the Rich World or Poor World, pulp is probably producing problems for people not too far from you. We're continuing to destroy trees that eat carbon dioxide – one of the main greenhouse gases. There’s also a litany of other problems that follow the plantations that are grown to replace old growth – the loss of food-supplies for the surrounding communities; the pollution of local water supplies; the promise of jobs at paper mills that only a few will ever get; and t...

	The Deepest Scar - Radio New Internationalist Undoubtedly acts of torture are shocking. How could anyone extract information from others by breaking their back or boiling them alive? But the real horror exposed by this program is not so much the acts themselves but the complicity of Western Governments - and the leaders and officials in them who hold themselves out as supporters of human rights - in obtaining information through such methods.

	Tribal Revival - Radio New Internationalist Guess which country the Radio New Internationalist team is talking about today? Its indigenous people - still struggling for rights to their land and resources - often live in shanty communities overrepresented by the unemployed, drug addicted, and alcoholic. Fringe-dwellers, they die much earlier than non-indigenous people, and suffer a range of chronic health problems. Many non-indigenous people say that these people need to be integrated into mainstream society, but the standard of education ...

	AIDS without the aid - Radio New Internationalist 24-2008 This week on Radio New Internationalist… AIDS without the aid In the Western World it feels like HIV/AIDS is well and truly under control. Yet world figures tell a different story. HIV/AIDS kills more people than all world wars and conflict - 1.2 million in 2007. The United Nations estimate of the people living with HIV last year was over 33 million. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, over 2,000 men become infected every day...

	Another Afghan Postard - Radio New Internationalist The sixth anniversary of the United States-led invasion of Afghanistan is fast approaching, but no-one is celebrating. Western governments continue to pour military resources into Iraq and Afghanistan, turning away from the reality that their continuing intervention is destroying the social, political and economic viability of both countries. In this program we hear the voices that are too often missing from mainstream media coverage: the perspectives of Afghans and Iraqis themselves...

From a country that employs one soldier for every citizen - where demonstrators are tortured and where political joke-tellers end up in jail – some incredibly brave men and women step up to Radio New Internationalist's microphones today to talk about the latest developments in their country.

	Depleted Uranium - Radio New Internationalist Just one microscopic particle of depleted uranium lodged in the lungs can start a reaction in a single cell that could lead to fatal cancer. It's unfortunate, then, that the world has an estimated one million tonnes of this dangerous waste - and a very limited supply of ways to get rid of it. In this program we'll hear how, why and where it's being dumped… and the injuries and deaths that are being caused as a result...

	Down with Dictators - Radio New Internationalist Meet Reed Brody. He hunts dictators for a living. Dictators need to be hunted by full-time professionals. For, as Reed explains: 'you kill one person, you go to jail. If you kill 40 people, they put you in an insane asylum. But if you kill 40,000 people, you get a comfortable exile with a bank account in another country, and that's what we want to change.' And the good news is that he and his colleagues at Human Rights Watch are well on the way to making that change... Keywords: radio; ni; new internationalist Downloads: 478 Average rating: (0 review)

To fly or not to fly - that is the question. After all, heating a home for a whole year produces on average less carbon dioxide emissions than one person taking a return flight from New York to London. But helse do you get there? You can't take a train, and who's got time for a boat? Should you go at all? 's just one of many dilemmas that confront ethical trave...

A brighter horizon may finally be dawning for some of the world’s 350 million indigenous peoples. It’s a nice change. In country after country, indigenous peoples are often the most deprived: more likely to be in prison; more likely to die early; and more likely to be hungry.

Across the globe, women fought and won the right to slam their stove doors shut and put down their mops to participate more equally in government, in education, in paid work, and all the other wonderful things that a good life offers.

As an upper class of millionaires emerges in any country, they often do so off the backs of imported labour, creating a layer of second-class citizens. China is no exception.

Everything that we value is under attack: homes and schools; family, friends, and food; political debate, participation in government, protection by the rule of law.
