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 26 AUGUST
*** 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 ***
"Raising Cain(e) with Mahler"
Jazz pianist and composer Uri Caine appeared twice this summer in The
Netherlands. In June he premiered his Mozart Remix at the Holland Festival.
And he was back a month later at the North Sea Jazz Festival improvising on
laptops.
Eclectic is a good word to describe his work. He took time between gigs to
talk to David Swatling about his reinvention of music by Viennese composer
Gustav Mahler - not the most likely subject for a jazz artist!

*** The Weekly Documentary ***
"Home Sweet Home Birth"
The Netherlands is the odd one out when it comes to child birth. It's the
only Western country where more than 30% of births take place at home.
A system of highly-trained, independent midwives and maternity aid nurses
make it all possible. And a strong belief that a healthy pregnancy is a
natural thing and not a medical condition has kept the practice alive -but
some people wonder whether it will survive.
Join Liesbeth de Bakker for a look at the Dutch tradition of giving birth at
home in this week's documentary "Home Sweet Home Birth".
