Cambodia
This piece will appear in the programme tonight.:
"There are many parts of the world were men women and children continue to be exploited and abused against their will. In Cambodia thousands of underage boys and girls end up in the sex industry - an industry which attracts paedophile sex tourists from all over the world.
For PM, our Asia correspondent, Andrew Harding, went to Phnom Penh where he followed the work of the International Justice Mission, an organisation who send people undercover to rescue victims of the child sex trade."
Would you like us to excuse you the newsletter today, Mr. Mair? After all, it's been a very odd day all round, hasn't it?
Oh good god - what on earth is wrong with these people and why can't more be done about it?
I thought this was a very good piece; strong, informative and it did make me gasp in shock. Heavy going but not too heavy handed or earnest; sometimes that can really take teh edge of the piece. We know its wrong we don't need that emphasised. I did like the fact there was some time for reflection on how the guys cope in the situations they find themselves. Thanks.
It was very interesting, if that is the right word for it. I'm feeling so upset at the moment about a number of issues that have emerged in recent programmes which have illustrated (as if I was unaware) man's inhumanity to man, that I don't know where to begin to comment further.
Did anybody happen to see the last instalment of the excellent History of Racism series last night on ´óÏó´«Ã½ 4? How could these things happen? And how can we expect them to be forgotten?
