Welcome to our weekly guide to Radio Netherlands' English Service - a list of the new programs coming up on Radio Netherlands this week, beginning on Saturday.
SATURDAY 29 JULY
*** 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 ***
"Running with Atalanta"
Ten years ago, two young women were studying law - one in The Netherlands and the other in Latvia. Years later their lives would intersect in what the United Nations has called the fastest growing criminal activity in the world: human trafficking. Both women have written books about their experiences - one as a researcher and the other as a victim of trafficking. And both women are critical of the Dutch system which tends to view the victims themselves as criminals.

*** The Research File ***
The relationship between North and South Korea is fractious, to say the least. One blatant visual reminder of this unease is the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a 4km wide corridor which snakes across the Korean peninsular for 250km. But this heavily fortified strip, untouched by humans since 1953, has become a sanctuary for wildlife, including some of the region's endangered species. On this week's Research File, we speak to Professor KC Kim, about efforts to study and protect this paradise.
Also on the show, we visit a self managing waste dump, uncover how much we don't know about food allergies and find out what lives in molten sulphur lakes on the ocean floor. That's all on Research File with Marnie Chesterton.

*** The Weekly Documentary ***
"Casting The Net"
Lough Neagh in Ireland can boast being the sole surviving major wild eel fishery in Europe. Until recently its annual output has been counted in the hundreds of tonnes and most of it goes to the Netherlands. However, the past couple of decades has seen a ninety per cent decline in the numbers of eels coming into the Lough after their long migration from the Sargasso sea in the Caribbean. This has been blamed on a number of factors. The straightening of rivers, hydro-electric schemes and pesticides, but there have also been changes in the Atlantic Ocean and its currents.
In this week's documentary "Casting The Net", Laura Haydon looks at the Loch Neagh eel industry and its fight for survival.

*** Dutch Horizons ***
Dutch Horizons goes shopping for a cause! At a prime location in The Hague you'll find the first Dutch "Charity" store, where organisations such as the World Wild Life Fund, Plan and Cordaid are selling their wares. Formerly homeless women are making cool designer clothes at the "fashion-with-a-mission" project in Nijmegen.
And how networking is helping migrants in the Netherlands. If you leave your home, it can be hard to recreate a supportive group of people. A handful of migrants, highly educated and professional, had the idea that with a few Dutch people they could form their own network, and - in a small way - start changing Dutch society.

*** A Good Life ***
One in three women will experience violence in their lifetime. That means all of us must know a woman who has been a victim of violence. Yet talking about violence against women - whether it be at the hands of the state, the community or the family - still remains a taboo in many societies. In a Good Life Special, one woman breaks her silence and tells the story of her violent rape at the hands of three men in Nigeria. Plus we hear from a Dutch organisation trying to diminish violence against women in Holland.
