Has Vladimir Putin got a point?

Ros Atkins Ros Atkins | 15:56 UK time, Monday, 4 June 2007

Sorry if this is a little late in coming. It's my first day back in the office since our trip to Africa and the 2000 emails that have greeted me have taken a little time to get through. In fact I've replied to an email from Kevin in Kenya earlier and he's just got back telling me to stop writing personal emails and get on with preparing for the show, so I'd best do that...

HAS VLADIMIR PUTIN GOT A POINT?
The Russian President ahead of the G8 summit in Germany. He's been railing against US plans to extend its missile defence system into Eastern Europe. America says it'll be there to deal with the threat from Iran and North Korea. Mr. Putin's not convinced. Has he got a point?

ARE LIVERPOOL FANS REALLY THE WORST?
It seems that Liverpool Football Club didn't just lose the Champions League final when they played AC Milan in Greece a couple of weeks ago. The reputation of its fans

UEFA (governing body of European football) spokesperson says, "You must ask yourself why at the Champions League, with the same conditions, there was no trouble with the Milan fans - only the Liverpool fans. There have been 25 incidents involving Liverpool fans away from home since 2003 and these are in the report - most teams' supporters do not cause any trouble at all." Your reaction please...

YOUR EXPERIENCES OF THE SIX DAY WAR
Tomorrow we're going to be talking about the Six Day War - a conflict that many believe still frames what is happening in the Middle East 40 years after it took place. If it affected your life at the time and you would be interested in sharing your experiences, please email me or worldhaveyoursay@bbc.co.uk.

on the conflict just written by our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen.

LOOKING BACK ON AFRICA
You can find all the blog posts from the trip here ... and there are lots of photos on Flickr. You can find the link to that on the right hand side of the blog's front-page. There's much debate in the office here about which parts of the shows worked best, and which didn't work at all. There's no debate though that it was fantastic to meet so many of you, and to hear from you without the challenges of the phonelines between London and Africa.

Speak to you later.
