Welcome to our weekly guide to Radio Netherlands' English Service - a list of the new programmes coming up on Radio Netherlands this week, beginning on Saturday.
SATURDAY 30 SEPTEMBER *** Weekend Connection *** Every Saturday, the Newsline team brings you Weekend Connection, with thought-provoking reports on the issues making headlines in the Netherlands, Europe and beyond.
It's a lively mix of local colour and "the big picture". One week you might hear how Dutch farmers are doing their part to combat bird flu, the next week it's about the worldwide attempt to punish crimes against humanity. Big or small, Weekend Connection covers it all!

*** Vox Humana *** "In My Father's Dreams" Rob Robins has always wanted to learn to fly. But with a family of five children to feed, the retired New Zealand brewery worker's budget wouldn't stretch to lessons and the required number of flying hours to get his private pilot's license. There was also another catch - Robins has been deaf since he was five years old.
But now at the age of 74, Robins is at last living his dream. He's learning to fly. His son brought along a microphone to follow his father's progress.

SUNDAY 1 OCTOBER *** Amsterdam Forum *** "Nuremberg: Law on Trial"
Replacing both Amsterdam Forum and Dutch Extra this week, we bring you a special programme to mark the 60th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials.
Sixty years ago this month the first international war crimes trial drew to a close in Nuremberg. The trials had been set up by the Allied powers at the end of World War II to judge leading Nazis. But by putting war on trial they were also putting the law itself on trial..

*** The Research File *** It's a very mobile Research File this week with a report on a very successful alcohol prevention programme for young drivers. Facing them with their performance behind the wheel while drunk will make them think twice before ever doing it again.

*** The Weekly Documentary ***
"Law and Peace" In the summer of 1899, one hundred delegates from around the world came to The Hague in The Netherlands to discuss the burning issues of the day. The arms race had continued unabated and distrust between the big European powers was increasing.
This was the First Hague Peace Conference. It was to change the international landscape forever and lead to the first international courts and ultimately to the United Nations.
In the first part of "Law and Peace", Chris Chambers looks at this embryonic and crucial period in international relations. The main players, the hopes, the failures and the successes.
You can catch the second part of "Law and Peace" in next week's documentary when Chris Chambers will be taking a closer look at the Peace Palace in The Hague.
