A jubilant Aussie team take back the Ashes

To you all, if there is such a thing?

Waking up to the news that to Australia at the first possible opportunity, I'm not really feeling it!

So, moving on quickly, what else is happening in the world?

Tony Blair is in Israel on the fourth day of his . On Friday we heard from Hatam and other guests in our Gaza studio. Tension has continued to rise all weekend, a 16 year old boy was shot in the neck just an hour ago as the gun battles continue to rage, despite a supposed ceasefire. Is there anything Blair can do to calm the situation?

The most read story on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã News website is about Indian athlete being stripped of her Asian Games silver medal after failing a drugs test. What's your reaction to this?

One story I was reading about over the weekend is the storm brewing in the Episcopal Church. I've just read now that two church congregations from the Episcopal Church because of its decision three years ago to consecrate a gay bishop. The Truro Church and the Falls Church voted to place themselves instead under the authority of the Anglican Archbishop of Nigeria, Peter Akinola.

In Delhi, news has just broke that a politicians son has been convicted for shooting , for refusing to serve him a drink at a party. The case has been mired in controversy, as Manu Sharma was originally let off the crime, until a text message campaign forced a re-examination of the case. A massive talking point in India? Sounds like it, would you like to hear more?
