SUNDAY 8 JULY
*** Amsterdam Forum ***
This week Amsterdam Forum examines the rights and wrongs of adopting from
abroad.
In a recent wave of scandals it's come to light that some children adopted
by westerners have in fact been stolen from their biological parents. As it
becomes harder to adopt from Europe couples with the desire to become
parents are looking further afield for their new family members, but at
whose expense.
Child trafficking can not be tolerated, but how can it be controlled and
should children be brought up in their own culture at all costs? Is giving a
child any opportunity for a better future to be applauded? We debate these
issues with an expect panel and hear one adoptee's personal story.

Our guest this week is a young rising star on the visual arts scene: video
artist Erik van Lieshout. Following a spate of exhibitions in Europe and
America, van Lieshout has attracted international attention with films and
theatrical installations that combine images of sex and violence with biting
comment on the Netherlands, the new rich, Hollywood, psychoanalysis and
immigrants. Erik van Lieshout also definitely has a sense of humour.

*** The State We're In, Midweek Report ***
This week on The State We're In - Midweek Edition, we ask the normally
neutral International Committee of the Red Cross why they've condemned the
Burmese government's human rights abuses.
And we're halfway to the planned completion of the United Nations Millennium
Development Goals - but how close are we to actually eliminating poverty?

website www.thestatewerein.org.
