Why aren't Iraq's politicians achieving more?

Ros Atkins Ros Atkins | 13:47 UK time, Thursday, 12 July 2007

We're off air now

Quite a few things to mention today - two YouTube videos (including a frustrated guest who didn't make it on to the show), a story you helped us choose for today, and a trail for Monday's programme. So without any further ado...

1. WHY NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN
There's a book in France which is selling very fast which claims to have found forty good reasons not have children. We'll be talking about it on Monday.

2. BEHIND THE SCENES AT WHYS
Paul 'Coletti' Coletti is one of our keener freelancers (soon to be on a contract - well done Paul). He's put together - featuring none other than WHYS' Mr. Big Mark Sandell.

3. I DIDN'T GET MY SAY ON WHYS
We've come across this video. It's from a guy in the States who we invited on to one of the shows where we discussed the 'N-word'. He didn't get on (we're trying to find out why) so to put his point of view across. We're trying to get in touch with him. In the meantime, he has plenty to say on this video and the least we can do is link to it.

4. TODAY'S MAIN STORY - WHAT TO DO ABOUT IRAQ
. It's a mixed report on the military front, and there's frustration that Iraqi politicians have been unable to produce the kind of reconciliation the White House is hoping for.

Lots of you criticise what the Americans for what they are doing (though not all of you of course), but what about Iraq's politicians? We asked, Do they actually hold the key to this problem? And are they badly letting their people down?

5. YOU HELPED US CHOOSE OUR SECOND STORY:

- after a complaint to the Commission for Racial Equality in the UK.

Which seemed to be more popular than the other two possibilities:

- - will you all in the States be pulling on your soccer boots?
Here's the story:

- . Celebrity snapper Annie Leibovitz got in hot water with the Queen when she asked her to take off her tiara. "Less dressy. What do you think this is?" replied Her Maj. Did Annie over step the mark?


By the way, those of you in Cleveland, did you get to meet George Bush earlier this week?

Speak to you later.
