Iran, domestic violence and Islamic banking
We've just had the meeting and this is what will make it on tonight...
Iran
We talked yesterday about how Ahmadinejad's popularity seems to be waning, and we wanted to find bloggers and people in Iran to tell us why they think that is.
We've semi-suceeded in that, but we also want to find out why the tide is changing or whether the criticism of the President has always been there, we've just not been able to hear it..
Is this a set back for the Iranian President? Are the Iranian people are looking for Ahmadinejad to take a different course of action?
Domestic violence
We'll also be looking at this story in the UK.
The Government are set to announce plans to offer victims of domestic abuse money to create a room in which women can be secure within their own homes and be able to call the police. Will it work? Should authorities be concentrating in locking up the perpetrators of such crime, rather tahn protecting the views..?
Islamic banking
Would you open an Islamic bank account?
´óÏó´«Ã½ news report that more and more because they belive they are ethically sound.
Do you have one? How does an Islamic bank account work? Is it really a more ethical form of banking?
If you have views on any of these topics, get in touch here.
And here are the stories that didnt make it on today...
...Pete pushed for this yesterday and is banging on about it today, although he's not sure what the question is or how what we will hear is different, but: British PM Tony Blair is to bypass the elected Hamas government and go straight to the forces of the moderate president, Mahmoud Abbas.
? Do they have a choice, given the ?
Pete points to Karma Nabulsi's article in The Guardian, that calls for new elections "".
Fatah lost power to Hamas in January, but instead of learning why it had lost and how to regain their people's trust it was told by the "international community" that it was still in power and had to contnue to play this role or take responsibility for abandoning its suffering people to an even crueller fate.
And although he's resigned to the fact that we proabably wont do it, he thinks it's worth reading .
After the polonium poisoning of the former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, speculation about a new kind of (radioactive) dirty bomb is rife, says the NYT.
Ajay's stories
Ajay says we should maybe we should look at , where a court has sentenced five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor to death for knowingly infecting hundreds of Libyan children with HIV.
Ajay thinks maybe we should ask how should we deal with medical negligence? Anna says it might just be a straight look at the case and what is being said about it.
David thinks it may not be one for us, unless we can trace some of the people that have been directly affected by it, we'll try and get a form put on the end of the story on ´óÏó´«Ã½ News Online and ask people to contact us.
Karnie suggests...
looking at the story of a of priests capable of competing in Serie A, Italy's top league.
The team would play in the colours of the papal flag - yellow and white.
The cardinal also said football could play an exemplary role in the lives of young people and football stadiums were an ideal spot for Church recruitment.
She says she would like to hear from the Cardinal Traciso Bertone (in the last 10 - 15 mins of the programme) about his idea for a top league Vatican football team and also from other Roman catholics/football fans around the world...what do they think about a top league vatican team?
