      More about:

      Anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders goes on trial for hate speech. The legal battle is seen as a test of the boundaries of free speech in the Netherlands, though Mr Wilders sees a chance to vindicate his beliefs about the Islamic faith.

      Also this week: The Dutch open their hearts and their wallets for Haiti; Amsterdam looks to improve safety for prostitutes in the Red Light District.
