Qasa asks if a recent story about a Christian girl being put into the care of a Muslim family will deter ethnic minorities from fostering.

Will a recent story in the Times about mixed faith foster care deter ethnic minorities from fostering? The newspaper reported on a white Christian girl who was put into the care of a Muslim family. Sir Martin Narey, the joint head of the government's review into fostering, tells us why details in the article were misleading. Then we ask if it's taboo to discuss organ donation within the Asian community. Figures from NHS Blood and Transplant suggest Asian people are reluctant to talk about the issue, and that's contributing to deaths. Anthony Clarkson, assistant director for organ donation at NHS Blood and Transplant talks about the findings along with Afia Begum, whose son Hasnath needed a heart transplant when he was three years old. After this, Qasa talks to the director and stars of a new Channel 4 show called 'White Kid, Brown Kid' which looks at integration in Dewsbury through the lives of two girls - Farhana Ghafoor and Siobhan McKinnell. Director Luned Tonderai explains her motivation for making the documentary. Then artist Amrit Singh talks about how he creates artwork live on social media. And following Bangladesh's historic test victory over Australia, we'll be discussing the team's future prospects with our sports reporter Nikesh Rughani, Bangladesh fan Roushan Ali and Australia fan Gav Joshi.
