On air at 17&18GMT: Syria 'ends' emergency laws
| 14:57 UK time, Tuesday, 19 April 2011
Hi there. We've some stories which may happen, others that definitely will.
SYRIA LATEST
We've reports that security forces opened fire on protestors in the city of Homs. And as I'm writing this, several news wires are saying that the state news agency is reporting that emergency laws in Syria have been lifted.
NIGERIA ELECTION VIOLENCE
Thousands of people are fleeing their homes in the north of the country. We'll get the latest with the help of some of the many of you who listen to WHYS in Nigeria.
We'll also do our best to cover....
CUBA REFORM
As you may have heard on the early WHYS edition, owning private property is going to be allowed in Cuba. Other reforms are being introduced too. We've a production team in Havana, and if they're able to find enough English speakers who feel comfortable speaking to us, we'll get them on the show. There's an understandable reticence though, so we'll have to see if it happens.
MALAYSIA TEACHES 'EFFEMINATE' BOYS TO BE MORE 'MASCULINE'
All of which is designed to ward against them becoming gay. . The time difference allowing, we'll bring in those Malaysians who support the move, and those of you who are outraged.
That's your lot.
