Friday's thoughts

| 09:28 UK time, Friday, 30 March 2007

On yesterday's programme we got reaction from people in Iran and the UK to the ongoing saga of the captured Navy officers. The UN have stated "grave concern" over the matter, and there's a very much in swing.

Is this worth revisiting on the show today? Here's a few more ideas....

Iraq Showdown
The , defying a veto threat from George Bush. It's a bold move, and a sweeping challenge to the administration's war policies. But President Bush still has the final say on the Bill, if he doesn't sign it, it's not going to happen - so can the Senate have any real influence on the Iraq situation?

Heather Mills - inspiration or irritation?
Nearly 22 million Americans tuned in to watch Paul McCartney's estranged wife make her debut on the TV show Strictly Come Dancing. She lost her leg in a car accident many years ago, so it's a prosthetic leg she's dancing with. , an amputee himself, asks "if a dancing amputee on primetime television a genuine attempt to change attitudes - or just a TV freak show designed to boost ratings?". Not to mention Heather's career. What do you think?

Disability convention
The UK is to sign a convention to ensure the rights of disabled people. Disability minister Anne McGuire says prejudice against disabled people is still prevalent, so this treaty is very much needed. Do you agree?

Chocolate Jesus
There's a bit of a storm brewing over a sculpture currently on display in a New York gallery. It's made of chocolate and is in the shape of Jesus. The Catholic League are not happy about it, in fact, it's head described it as "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever". The gallery has received lots of angry phone calls and are considering whether to display it. Is this one to discuss today?
