  • Paul Coletti
  • 8 May 07, 08:56 AM

Good morning and welcome to the time of day when we try and see what talking points are out there. Last night on World Have Your Say we threw out a topic suggested by a listener from Africa who was concerned about the state of his country's exam system. To put it bluntly: there's a lot of cheating going on.

We received 19 texts on the subject so I've a feeling we'll be revisiting this tonight. Read on . . .

  • Anna Stewart
  • 4 May 07, 09:05 AM

The UK news agenda is this morning dominated by local elections in England, Scotland and Wales. I live here and I'm not interested in hearing more about them, so I doubt they're a talking point for a global audience.

What do you think we should discuss on today's programme?

Mark would like to hear more on the %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6621821.stm">summit on Iraq currently taking place in Egypt...

In the Times is reveals that the %3Ca%20href="https://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1725608.ece">key witness for the prosecution was Pakistani-American Mohammed Babar, who was arrested in the United States and confessed to helping the men acquire materials for the bombs.

  • 30 Apr 07, 09:35 AM

It's all been kicking off in Turkey over the weekend as hundreds of thousands of %3Ca%20href="https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/30/world/europe/30turkey.html?_r=1&oref=slogin"> secularist Turks took to the streets in fear that Abdullah Gul and his AK party will turn Turkey in to an Islamic state. The protest came after the military warned it would act to defend %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6603141.stm">secularism. The crowds carried posters of Kamal Ataturk, the founder of secular Turkey and banners that read "Sharia shall not rise to the Presidential Palace"

Is nationality or religion the binding factor in your country? Which would you defend more vehemently?

In every newspaper I've read this morning, there are more stories of %3Ca%20href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/26/AR2007042602715.html?referrer=email">displacement and violence, and more terrifying statistics. And today the UN have said that "%3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6598361.stm">more people have been displaced in Somalia in the past two months than anywhere else in the world." It was in my blog post from yesterday when I asked if it was the day to talk about it and some of you answered to say "yes" it was. You also picked up the phone and rang in live to the programme to ask us to talk about it. And we will try to.

Can we hear from Somalia, Somalis who have fled to other countries, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the US and the rest of the World looking in on the situation?

%3Ca%20href="none">Your questions to Ed Husain

  • Anna Stewart
  • 26 Apr 07, 12:53 PM

Ed Husain is a British Muslim who became an Islamic fundamentalist when he was 16. Five years later he turned his back on fundamentalism and returned to "normal life".

%3Ca%20href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780141030432,00.html">The Islamist is a book he's written to explain "why I joined radical Islam in Britain, what I saw inside and why I left". Ed believes his experiences can help to explain the appeal of extremist thought, and says Britian is "sitting on a time bomb".

%3Ca%20href="https://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/book_extracts/article1685726.ece">How a British jihadi saw the light and %3Ca%20href="https://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article1685725.ece">Rediscovering a kinder, gentler Islam explain in far better detail. Please have a read and share your views with us here.

Ed will be in the World Have Your Say studio today to answer your questions.

Certain members of the World Have Your Say team could be accused of starting blog posts with football news that may not necessarily always interest a worldwide audience. I’m one of them, and I was going to talk about %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6590815.stm">Manchester United’s win over AC Milan improving the chances of a first ever all English European Cup final.

But news has just broken of the %3Ca%20href="https://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2065038,00.html">death of Alan Ball. He was the youngest member of the England squad that won the World Cup in 1966, and in fact, the first man you see congratulating Geoff Hurst in the footage that accompanies the infamous “They think it’s all over, it is now” commentary. %3Ca%20href="/dna/606/A22039968?s_fromedit=1">You can read some tributes here.

France will vote in the first round of it's election this weekend, and as I mentioned yesterday, Nigerians are still expecting to go to the polls despite protests in the country threatening to put a stop to it's election.

France seems pretty undecided, and it could be tough to call, but right wing candidate %3Ca%20href="https://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1680255.ece">Jean-Marie Le Pen, who came a surprise second in the 2002 election, is feeling confident.

Many of the front pages in the UK are screaming out %3Ca%20href="https://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-6554193,00.html">"there is an obesity gene". Interesting reading as I tuck into my sausage bagel (I'm allowed a break from the muesli on a Friday, surely?!). Without going into too much of the scientific detail, I know it's a debate that always gets people going, this text that came into domestic radio station %3Ca%20href="/fivelive/">Five Live last night, is a typical response:

I just can't believe these people blaming everybody else except themselves - get a grip take control of your life - its simple calories in and calories out - eat healthily and exercise more.

Obesity is a serious burden to the health systems of many countries, could this discovery be an important step towards lifting it? Or, will it just provide an excuse for overweight people?

Right now I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable with the footage of the announcement that %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6543315.stm">Larry Birkhead, a former boyfriend of the late Playboy model, Anna Nicole Smith, is the father of her baby daughter, Dannielynn. Mr Birkhead emerged from the courthouse a happy and proud father, but did the crowd really need to cheer?

Hello all, it's a public holiday here in England but of course we'll still be talking about the news that matters to you this evening. And it's rather pleasant to come into TVC on a %3Ca%20href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_holiday">bank holiday because the car park is open to all staff, rather than (the admittedly many) people who ar emore important than the likes of me. And being a holiday, there's no traffic, so the drive is good too.

But on to the news - the top story on the %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/">web site and %3Ca%20href="/worldservice/">World Service radio is that a major UN report is set to conclude that %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6524251.stm">climate change is already having an impact on the natural world.

  • 5 Apr 07, 08:54 AM

Words that could be applied to the World Have Your Say team and listenership of course, but were actually used yesterday by the manager of football team Roma to describe his team's fans. As soon as I can get a picture or two to upload here, you can see for yourself the scenes from last night's game against Manchester United. %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6528049.stm"> See the 主播大秀's report here. It's not that the violence wasn't expected, Man United wrote letters to fans travelling to the game warning of attacks by Rome's "Ultras", something which annoyed the Major of Rome, who promised fans would be visiting a "calm and welcoming" city. We were going to talk about this on yesterday's show but we didn't have time following news of the release of the captured British sailors. Would you like to hear reaction today? Oh, the result by the way, 2 - 1 to Roma, but a crucial away goal from Wayne Rooney means the European dream isn't over for United just yet...

There's been a long-running power struggle between the pro-Western president and pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.

It's my first day back after the US trip. Of course, our flights were delayed, and the adrenalin of being on the road and meeting listeners has long faded, so jet lag and general tiredness created a serious need for sleep. Or something beyond sleep.

But I've had my day off and am officially recovered. It's a new day and there's plenty to talk about. Apparently the 主播大秀's domestic audience loathed the coverage of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. What did you think?

Following our very passionate debate yesterday, do we want to hear what people think about the developments in Zimbabwe and the %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6444259.stm">latest on Tsvangirai.

A Swiss man who %3Ca%20href="https://www.itv.com/news/world_5ea969f57f9c2c4c3d15a1640975a12d.html">vandalised posters of Thailand's revered King while he was drunk faces a 75 year jail sentence for lese-majeste - the crime of insulting the monarchy. Would you like to hear what Thais think of it all?

European environmentalists have said that Germany should consider imposing a %3Ca%20href="https://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1505520.ece">national speed limit but there's an outcry from motorist in a country that considers unrestricted driving a birthright?

Last year's Eurovision song contest winners, Lordi...about what we should talk about on today's programme. And the appalling pun is because of a suggestion from a listener that we talk about the Eurovision song contest. It doesn't take place until May, but it's already got people talking thanks to Israel's entry. It's called "Push the button" and may be banned from the competition on the grounds that it makes an “inappropriate” political message.

Hi folks, Sorry for the lack of a live blog last night, no excuses, our bad. Once i've gone through today's stories i'll put all the comments from last nights show underneath.

First up we head to New York where the city council has symbolically banned the use of the %3Ca%20href="https://www.theage.com.au/news/world/new-york-bans-nigger-slur/2007/03/01/1172338762050.html">'N Word'. I say symbolically because if people are caught using the word they won't get punished. Nevertheless having done this subject before on the show we know it's a hot topic. Are you in New York? What are people saying about this story? Is it a good move by the council? Or, just a useless gesture that won't change a thing?

Next to Germany...

Just a question I thought I'd throw out from a snowy but sunny Cambridge Massachusetts. Well, I can't claim it as my own, it's a suggestion for a talking point for today's programme from a listener called Dwight.

If you're going to visit Boston, one of the birthplaces of "American style democracy" and modern freedom, a great question to ask is, what does it mean to be free and democratic? What did it mean back then and what does it mean today? In what way have we mirrored and adopted the ideals we revolted against?

We agree it's a great topic Dwight, and we think the students from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government who are taking part in today's programme could have a thing or two to say about some of the issues you've raised!

Hey WHYS gang!

I just came across a nice little gem on the Guardian's News %3Ca%20href="https://blogs.guardian.co.uk/news/archives/2007/01/08/daddys_little_croc_hunter.html">Blog. Apparently, people are wondering if Bindi Irwin, 8, the daughter of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin is too young to launch a media career. Personally, I feel that one of the best things that a person can do is carry on their parents' legacy. If Bindi shunts the power of her new found fame towards the causes that her father championed, I think that he would take pride in her. However, is an 8 year old too young to assume his or her parent's legacy?

Cheers,
Steve in Utah

Good morning from London. This is the time of day when we want you to email, text or post with your nominations for what will make great talking points. Please get in touch. One listener, Steve in Utah, has sent us this suggestion

"%3Ca%20href="https://www.unity08.com/">www.unity08.com is a group of citizens deeply concerned that the wheels have come off our political system, that the American Dream is slipping away, and that time is short to get things back on track. They want to help fix the American system by pushing for a multi-party presidential ticket in 2008. In other words, they want the president and vice president to come from different parties that normal folk will select in an on-line convention during the first half of 2008. How cool is that?"

On-line voting . . !! Sounds interesting. Thanks Steve. Read on for for some more suggestions . . .

Good morning..And unlike Pete's optimistic mood on the first day of the third Ashes test between Australia and England, my feelings are a bit mixed. Australia are currently 110 -1 in their second innings after bowling England out for 215. Not long to go on this second day, but a few wickets before the close of play would certainly improve my mood...

Anyway, more important things to blog about this morning and that's what to look at in tonight's programme.

Good morning. With Tony Blair meeting President Bush, it seems like a good time to ask - how do you want western leaders to respond to the Iraq Study Group's recommendations? And what do you make of the reaction to the report so far? The pundits and columnists can't seem to agree whether it was a full frontal attack on the US President's Iraq policy, or deliberately toned down its criticism - what do you think?

Alright, I know it was August the 13th but in Cuba itself they're %3Ca%20href="https://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/12/01/news/CB_GEN_Cuba_Castro.php">celebrating their leader's 80th this week. We thought we'd mark it with a Cuba special today...here's Anna's %3Ca%20href="/blogs/worldhaveyoursay/2006/11/what_next_for_cuba.html">original post on our guest %3Ca%20href="https://www.ciponline.org/cuba/Op-eds/110606_Dysfunctional.htm">Dr Wayne S.Smith. The show will be co-presented with Ros in London and Emilio San Pedro in Miami.
And we want to hear from you...so no change there... Two questions seem to be dominating...

Fidel Castro on his last television appearance

Join us on Friday for a special programme on Cuba. You can put your questions to Dr. Wayne S. Smith...

Saturday marks the 80th birthday of Fidel Castro, 50 years on from the date that he and fellow rebels landed by boat in Cuba to launch their revolution.

The birthday festivities had been originally scheduled for August but were postponed due to Castro’s ill health. He has also %3Ca%20href="https://www.iht.com/articles/2006/11/29/news/castro.php"> stayed away from the opening ceremony of his five day long 80th birthday celebration in Havana under doctors' orders.

Are you in Cuba? Are you expecting Castro to turn up for the main event on Saturday?

Last night's debate on %3Ca%20href="/blogs/worldhaveyoursay/2006/11/is_there_a_problem_with_young.html">"Is there a problem with young black men?" provoked a flood of emails, texts and calls, so let's see if we can find something similarly exciting today. And if there's a great story I miss (highly likely), remember that you can help set the agenda by posting it here on the blog or emailing it to us.

  • Richard Bowen
  • 2 Nov 06, 10:36 AM

During my short time on this earth there are a few things, that it could be argued, i've not done a lot of. One is read the %3Ca%20href="https://www.guardian.co.uk/0,,,00.html">Guardian newspaper, the other is pay too much attention to geological stories, bad I know. But this morning I did both and was really glad I did. Apparently scientists and ecologists the world over are %3Ca%20href="https://www.answers.com/topic/cock-a-hoop">cock-a-hoop about their analysis of a seismic event that occurred in a remote corner of north-eastern Ethiopia 13 months ago, where they reckon the beginnings of a new ocean were formed. Interesting stuff, I know, but they estimate it won't be a proper finished for another million or so years. Oh well, it's still a good article. %3Ca%20href="https://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,1936881,00.html">Check it out.

Right, today...

Welcome to another morning on World Have Your Say, let us know what you think of these early ideas for todays programme and suggest any others you think we should be talking about.

A senior Australian Muslim cleric, Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilaly, has come under fire for %3Ca%20href="https://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20649104-5005961,00.html">reportedly saying Muslim women who do not wear the head-dress are inviting sexual assault. In remarks broadcast on Radio Australia. Sheikh Taj el-Din says the comments have been taken out of context, but the Australian government's sex discrimination commissioner Pru Goward accused the cleric of inciting rape and called for his deportation..

If you're in Australia, how have the Muslim community reacted? And is there an internal debate amongst Muslim women about wearing the Hijab?

When you're at work, should you leave your politics, your morals and your religion at the door? A big talking point here in Britain is the story of a %3Ca%20href="https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601085&sid=aOvp8_fVVFsA&refer=europe">Muslim police officer who was excused guard duty at the Israeli embassy. The officer - who has a Lebanese wife - is quoted as having felt "uncomfortable and unsafe" and asked to be posted elsewhere.
Some here say if he joins the police he should be prepared to do anything he's asked to, others say it wasn't unreasonable, there were plenty of other police officers who could do the job, and they knew he was a Muslim when he was taken on.

So at the risk of making you feel average i'll ask for your help. I want to know what you've seen, heard or read today that's made you feel angry, sad, happy or in fact any emotion as long as you don't say average (or an emotion to that effect)!

%3Ca%20href="none">You set the agenda

It's James here, and as always, we're turning the show over to you. You set the agenda, so what do you want to talk about today? Here's some ideas to get you started, but if you've seen a great story that i've missed, let us know by posting a comment on our blog.

Perhaps we should turn our attention to %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5379016.stm">Brazil, where voters will be heading to the polls on Sunday for presidential elections. In the news today, current president %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5346744.stm">Luis Inacio Lula da Silva has %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5391036.stm">pulled out of a televised debate with other candidates hours before it was due to go on air. It's the latest instalment in a campaign beset by allegations of dirty tricks and corruption. Will you vote in the Brazilian election? What are the main issues at stake for you? And if you're outside Brazil, let us know what you think about the possibility of another Lula term.

Leave your comments here on the blog, or have your say in our %3Ca%20href="https://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?threadID=3941&&&edition=2">online debate.

It is customary on World Have Your Say to ask the world what it wants to talk about. That means YOU. What issues or events are sparking your interest?

I have a few ideas of my own, but feel free to totally undermine them with your own, much better, talking points. Leave us a comment on the form below (and don't forget to give us your number although we won't publish these).

%3Ca%20href="none">Iraq war: a cause or an excuse?

  • David Mazower
  • 27 Sep 06, 10:38 AM

It's James here looking after the blog today. Mark wants to know what you think about today's top story - the US intelligence report which says that the conflict in Iraq has %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5382762.stm">fuelled the the recruitment of Islamist militants worldwide. President Bush has denied this, and has decided to make some of the report available to the public. This includes sections which support the White House view that a victory in Iraq would be a big prize, with fewer enemy fighters inspired to carry on. What do you think? Has the Iraq conflict caused more global terrorism? Or is it just an excuse for violence by extremists?

You can leave your comments on the blog, or %3Ca%20href="https://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?threadID=3992&&&edition=2">have your say in the online debate.

To get you thinking, %3Ca%20href="https://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,1880981,00.html">Richard Norton-Taylor in the Guardian says it's absurd for George Bush and Tony Blair to deny that Iraq has increased terrorism. But %3Ca%20href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/26/AR2006092601137.html">David Ignatius in the Washington Post says just leaving Iraq isn't the solution.

We talked about Thailand on the programme on Tuesday just an hour or so after the bloodless coup began. We heard voices from Bangkok and elsewhere telling us that people were- broadly speaking- supportive of the action to depose Thaksin Shinawatra , regardless of the fact that the action is %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/5366578.stm">clearly undemocratic.

The clashes in Bucharest followed a largely peaceful protest outside parliament
Although it's well past lunchtime for most of you. Anyway, today we think it's time to move on from the Pope's comments. If you disagree, let us know %3Ca%20href="mailto:worldhaveyoursay@bbc.co.uk">by email or a post on the blog. (As an aside, your comment has more chance of making it to the web site if it's posted on the blog rather than emailed - this goes for while the programme is on air as well.)

What we think we should turn to today is the %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5358546.stm">protests in Hungary. The prime minister, Ferenc Gyurcsany, has %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5354972.stm">said his party lied to the public to win April's general election.

I'm not excited about much that's out there today - perhaps you can help by %3Ca%20href="mailto:worldhaveyoursay@bbc.co.uk">telling us what we should be talking about.

I've included the top stories this morning, but one thing that caught my eye is the return of Iraq's parliament after a month-long recess - AFP reports that it will discuss breaking up country into semi-independent regions. Would that be a final arrangement or just a step on the path to a complete breakup of Iraq?

We also could talk about suicide in prisons - Ian Huntley, who was jailed for life for the 2002 Soham murders, was %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/5314944.stm">found unconscious in jail after a suspected overdose. Should a prisoner be allowed to take his own life?

A new dawn for World Have Your Say. Thanks for all your farewell messages to Kevin - it is an example to the rest of us (well, me anyway) about how he has talked to you. It's up to the rest of us to pick up the baton...

For today, the stories I'm most interested in are one in ten British Asians under-35s telling ICM (for %3Ca%20href="/asiannetwork/documentaries/lovehonourandobey.shtml">the Asian Network) that honour killings can be justified.

Also, a tax expert has declared that Britain, America and Switzerland are more corrupt than developing countries because their tax havens do more damage. More details on that one down below, along with a proposal to pay young Britons for doing well in maths A-levels.

Technically its still summer here in West London... I'm not so sure, its cold and half of us are off sick. The important thing, however, is what we should be talking about of today's programme. So what should it be?

Are you a Bob Dylan fan? Or are you one of the many people who wonders why he is still so popular after all this time? We'll be asking that very question later on, so get in touch if you have an answer.

Hamadi in Gambia wants to talk about African Oil - the Chadian government has asked two major oil companies to leave saying they have not paid their taxes. And there are varying degrees of conflict in other oil-producing states such as Nigeria and Sudan.

What do you want to talk about? Here are some of my suggestions....

We're going back to Katrina, as %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5295218.stm">President Bush visits New Orleans today. How do you feel about his visit?

Also-- what's more important-- peace or justice? We were struck by the debate in Uganda on what to do with rebel leader %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/newsnight/5124762.stm">Joseph Kony, who's accused of recruiting child soldiers and %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/5129350.stm">hacking off people's limbs. The government's worked out a peace and amnesty deal, but the international community wants to try Kony. Should he be left in peace? Or tried, even if that wrecks the %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/5293630.stm">ceasefire?

It's a %3Ca%20href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_holiday">public holiday here in the UK, so things are pretty quiet at Television Centre. But the world doesn't stop just because Britain does, and we've got a full team working on today's World Have Your Say.

So what would you like to talk about?

The top stories this morning are (in no particular order) Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.

Umpire removes the bails
Of course, the big talking point in the UK this morning is cricket chaos at the Oval. I'm an American, and I'm not going to pretend to be cricket expert. I'll leave that to Dicky, Ros and %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/5270038.stm">the experts. But basically, Pakistan refused to take to the field for the final session in %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/5269906.stm">protest at being penalised for ball-tampering. But that is just the start.

So we have to figure out what you want to talk about. Should we go back to Lebanon? Yesterday we were tempted by Prince Hassan of Jordan's comments that the West should learn from Hezbollah and swiftly move to rebuild damaged homes and help the people suffering in Lebanon after the conflict.

Can the West win Arab hearts and minds so easily?

Or what about hearing from Iraq where there are now %3Ca%20href="https://www.gulfnews.com/business/Oil_and_Gas/10060962.html">acute petrol shortages and lines of 50 or more cars are not uncommon at filling stations in Baghdad.

Good morning, the top story is Lebanon - %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4793177.stm">the truce is still holding. Is that what you want to talk about? There's some pretty interesting other stuff around. Let me try to convince you...

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4789905.stm">visited the Yasukuni shrine again. This time he's done it on 15 August, the anniversary of Japan's WWII surrender. Beijing and Seoul have both protested - Mr Koizumi said there'd be protests whenever he went.

Should we go to Gaza, where there's still no ceasefire - it's %3Ca%20href="https://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article1219281.ece">one year since the Israelis began their unilateral pullout, but the army has returned, and the violence continues. Yesterday, three Palestinians died after Israeli shelling in Beit Hanoun. %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4792313.stm">What hopes for a ceasefire there?

Stansted AirportI knew that something was up when I was travelling to work this morning. I just caught the last bit of a message at the tube: No hand luggage allowed on airplanes.

All became clear quickly as the TVs in our office flashed: %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4778575.stm">Terror plot. Some 25 people have been arrested, and it is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled on to as many as 10 aircraft in hand luggage. This is obviously the top story.

%3Ca%20href="none">Looking around

  • Peter van Dyk
  • 3 Aug 06, 10:25 AM

A few things have grabbed me this morning - not least the feeling that all the focus on Lebanon has eclipsed the situation in Gaza, where an Israeli offensive has been underway - albeit at a lower level than in Lebanon - since an Israeli soldier was taken by militants on June 25. That's two weeks before Hezbollah captured two soldiers in a raid into northern Israel.

The reminder from Gaza was reports that %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5240746.stm">several people including a child had been killed in an Israeli operation in the south of the Gaza Strip.

Another conflict that Lebanon has pushed from the front pages is Iraq. But today we have another indication of the serious problems there: Britain's outgoing ambassador in Baghdad has warned Tony Blair in a confidential memo that %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/5240808.stm">civil war is a more likely outcome than democracy in Iraq.

But %3Ca%20href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1837361.cms">this article in The Times of India got us wondering if we shouldn't be asking a bigger question: are the current conflicts hardening some people's feeling that religion is more important than nationality?

Let us know %3Ca%20href="/blogs/worldhaveyoursay/2006/08/looking_around.html">what you think - not just on these topics but about the other things that piqued my interest this morning:

Royal Welsh barracksTwo nights ago, we had planned to talk about%3Ca%20href="https://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/story/0,,-5942317,00.html"> 'beasting' in the military, basically physical punishment training. But on Tuesday, we quickly changed direction after the bombings in Mumbai. Tonight, we're hoping to have the discussion about whether 'beasting' is necessary to instill military discipline or rather it amounts to unnecessary bullying.

And of course, we have more breaking news today as %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5175160.stm">Israel imposes a blockade on Lebanon after two soldiers captured by the militant group Hezbollah.

World Have Your Say are going on the road again, but this time not too far from home. We're taking a week to travel around the UK meeting immigrant communities and connecting them with their original country and other members of the diaspora around the world.

We're calling it "Linking Communities" and from Monday July 17 to Friday July 21 we'll be speaking to newly arrived Poles looking for work in London, to third generation Brits in Bradford whose roots are Pakistani, Chinese in Belfast, Arabs in Glasgow and Somalis in Cardiff.

As ever, we want you to set the agenda. Do you have a question for these communities? Do you belong to one of the communities we've chosen - perhaps in another country? Do you want to hear a discussion on culture, music, sport, politics? Is there something in the news that you want to hear from their perspective? Or perhaps you feel we should have chosen your community. Tell us why and we'll think about it for the future...

%3Ca%20href="none">Thursday thoughts..

  • 22 Jun 06, 10:46 AM

Came in to read about the debate in the U.S about the %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/5104754.stm?ls">possible troop withdrawal in Iraq and it follows this week's %3Ca%20href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/06/20/wirq20.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/06/20/ixnews.html">pull out by British troops in one of the four provinces they controlled in southern Iraq . There's clearly a debate going on about the timing of all of this, so we want your views. Some say even making plans is daft with the situation there so volatile, others say it's the only way to calm things down. Might be nice to hear voices from Iraq talking to people in the UK and the U.S..

I was struck by the story of Andrew Hawkins too. He is a 37-year-old youth worker from Cornwall but he is a descendant of Sir John Hawkins, one of the "pioneers" of the slave trade. Andrew has %3Ca%20href="https://news.independent.co.uk/world/africa/article1094749.ece">apologised to people in the Gambia for the role of his ancestor in the slave trade. Without in any way doubting Mr Hawkins' sincerity, I do wonder if apologies for what some may see as distant crimes really makes any difference. Or is the symbolism important? We'll see if Mr Hawkins may be able to talk to us, to take questions from you.

And as another thought, %3Ca%20href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/06/22/wbull22.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/06/22/ixnews.html">Catalonia may be about to end bullfighting About time? or, as some people there think, a sad break with a proud tradition?

%3Ca%20href="none">Are cheap goods worth the price of cheap labour?

  • Kevin Anderson
  • 14 Jun 06, 10:46 PM

The Mail on Sunday in the UK ran an article claiming that the Chinese workers who make Apple's iPods %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5079590.stm">work in "slave" conditions. The article alleged that workers received as little as ?27 a month, doing 15-hour shifts making the iconic mp3 player.

Even if the claims are true, Apple surely isn't the only company in the world using low-cost labour. Our question: Would you pay more if you knew that the goods you bought were being made by workers treated well and paid a fair wage for their country? Or do you feel so stretched financially that you look for the lowest cost goods?

We say that World Have Your Say is your programme, and we yesterday we received an e-mail from %3Ca%20href="https://obiterdictabysteve.blogspot.com/">Steve Petersen in the US who suggested that we take a look at the US Senate campaign of %3Ca%20href="https://vote.peteashdown.org/">Pete Ashdown. Why? Mr Ashdown is running a rather novel campaign using a %3Ca%20href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction">wiki, a website that anyone can edit, so that his supporters can contribute their ideas on a range of issues.

Today, Mr Ashdown is going to join us to tell us %3Ca%20href="https://vote.peteashdown.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page">about his campaign. On Monday, he'll be back to talk about the issues with Steve and other supporters. What happens when a political candidate collaborates with his supporters like this? Comment here and listen in on Monday when the wiki meets the world.

Bijaya Shrestha in Louisville Kentucky in the United States wants to know why there has never been a woman president in the US. Benjamin Meyer, also in the US, wants to know why more isn't been done about rude mobile phone users. And Kingsley in Ghana wants to know why the president of the country wants to splash out millions on a new presidential complex.

So what do you want to talk about today? There's a bit floating around - here's where we're starting from:

Chinese President Hu Jintao has %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4949688.stm">moved on to Africa from the USA. What do you think of China's role in Africa?

We've had an email from Justin, a listener in Arizona, with an idea for a discussion on the programme. His message was straight to the point: "Why not speak about people with disabilities getting jobs in developing countries?"

We thought that sounded like a good idea, so we asked him to elaborate, and we're going to help him find out. Here's what he had to say:

US star Mia HammAnother long commute with lots of opportunities to catch up on my news and blog reading. I got an e-mail from Farid Pouya, who we've had on the programme several times to discuss Iran. He said the talk in Iran today is about whether women should be allowed %3Ca%20href="https://webgardesh.blogspot.com/2006/04/great-ayatholas-against-ahmadinejad.html">to watch football matches? (OK, and I'll use this as a shameless excuse to put a pic of former US soccer star Mia Hamm on the blog. Women should not only be allowed to watch but also play, but that's another debate for another time.)

Petrol prices are still a hot topic in the US. And what's this%3Ca%20href="https://abcnews.go.com/2020/Sex/story?id=1759069&page=1"> asexuality movement?

Those are just some headlines and e-mails that caught my eye. What are you talking about? What do you want to discuss on your programme, World Have Your Say?

Mourners remember ChernobylI had the 45 minute ride into work this morning on the tube so plenty of time to scan the headlines. A couple of things caught my eye. America seems to be talking about petrol prices, low by Europe's standards but outrageous to the average American.

It is the 20th anniversay of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4944898.stm">Ukraine remembers. Here are the %3Ca%20href="https://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?threadID=1610&&edition=2&ttl=20060426094756">questions that you've been asking.

That's just the big things. But there are a million conversations, a million stories out there. What are you talking about? What do you want to talk about?

%3Ca%20href="none">Morning thoughts

  • Peter van Dyk
  • 25 Apr 06, 10:36 AM

Good morning, here's what we're thinking about today. First up is a look at land reform in Africa, following %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4937310.stm">Zimbabwe's u-turn this week. We tried to do it yesterday but sometimes it's best to take a bit longer to make sure we can hear from the right people.

We're also thinking of going back to Nepal. We've heard from there quite a bit recently, and the response to the king's announcement last Friday that he was returning power to the people did not end the protests, but now the king has reinstated parliament the %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4941076.stm">opposition has called off the general strike. Is this %3Ca%20href="https://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?threadID=1511&edition=2">a fresh beginning?

We haven't even had our meeting yet but i'm giving you a heads up about some World Have Your Say stories you may be hearing later on today.

There's the, "should %3Ca%20href="https://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2149234,00.html">Prince Harry go to war?" talking point.
The US says new %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4937416.stm">Bin Laden tape proves Al-Qaeda's on the run.
An new organisation called %3Ca%20href="https://www.ceop.gov.uk/">CEOP has been set up in the UK to combat sex tourism, will it work?
There's still violence on the streets of %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4937730.stm">Nepal. What will it take to make it stop?
Panama's spending 4 billion dollars refurbishing it's %3Ca%20href="https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4876322.stm">canal. What do you think? Vital for it's economy or a massive waste of money?
And finally, Afghanistans answer to Tupac Shakur - %3Ca%20href="https://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,25689-2149170,00.html">DJ Besho - is talking about peace not guns.

But of course this show would be nothing without you so if there's something you think we should be talking about let us know.

Read on for a few suggestions that we have received, and leave your suggestions here. This programme is about what you want to talk about. Here is the place to let us know.
