    Een Nieuwe Orde

    Nadat Nederland in mei 1940 door de Nazi's wordt bezet, is de NSB al snel de enige toegestane politieke partij. De beweging ziet daarna een enorme toeloop aan leden, die spottend 'Meikevers' worden genoemd. De SS opent op haar beurt in verschillende steden wervingsbureau's. Het aantal aanmeldingen is buitengewoon hoog. Hoe kan het dat in geen enkel ander West-Europees land de aantrekkingskracht van de SS zo groot is als in Nederland? En waarom solliciteert de 19-jarige Jacoba als bewaakster in kamp Vught?

    Putin and the Apartment Bombs: 7. Hindsight

    Who bombed the four apartment buildings? The reporters who covered this story look back with over 25 years of distance to answer a one question: who do they think bombed those four apartment buildings back in September 1999?  Was it the Chechen militants the government blamed? Or was it an FSB plot - to create a climate of fear so that one of their own - Vladimir Putin - could step in as the hard man the country needed - and become President? Or is that nothing more than a wild conspiracy theory? In Season 1 of The History Bureau, presenter Helena Merriman returns to one of the most contested - and consequential - stories in modern Russia. In September 1999, just weeks after Vladimir Putin became Prime Minister, four bombs blew up four apartment buildings across Russia. The bombs exploded in the middle of the night, killing hundreds of people while they slept. In this season, Merriman returns to the story with the reporters who were there on the ground. What did they get right first time around? And, in the chaos and confusion of unfolding events, what did they miss?

    Putin and the Apartment Bombs: 1. The Four Bombs

    Four bombs. Twelve days. Hundreds dead. What really happened in Russia in September 1999? Helena speaks to BBC foreign correspondent Andrew Harding to revisit a story that has haunted him for decades. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Harding takes us inside a world of power struggles, inflation and a country on the brink. Then, in September 1999, just weeks after Vladimir Putin becomes Prime Minister, the apartment bombs begin. Russia is gripped by fear. The question is: who did it?

    The Last Viking: Warrior of the New Rome (Part 2)

    Harald Hardrada; exiled prince of Norway and mercenary, has landed in the greatest city on Earth: Constantinople. There he joins one of the most prestigious military organisations in the world, the Varangian Guard, charged with protecting the Emperor. Almost the next ten years of Harald’s young life are spent at war protecting the city from enslaving raiders. But then, he becomes embroiled in the dark and complex political intrigues and plots of the Byzantine court. Zoe, the formidable wife of the recently deceased Emperor Michael IV, who had been exiled by her husband’s successor, recruits Harald to help her seize the throne. Wealthy, influential and renowned in the world’s most glittering city, things have never seemed better for Harald. But then, does he overreach and embark upon a dangerous affair with the empress herself? Imprisoned for his crimes, Harald manages to slay the terrible serpent haunting his prison cell, and escape at last back to Kyiv. But his ambitions still lie further north, in Norway, and the throne he is determined to reclaim… Join Dominic and Tom and they discuss Harald Hardrada’s astonishing time as a Varangian Guard in Constantinople, his hair-raising escape back to Scandinavia, and his fight for the throne of Norway, on the road to the dramatic climax of his epic life: the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066.
