1700GMT: Vittorio Arrigoni & NATO's next step in Libya

Friday, 4 April 2011
|18:00 - 19:05 GMT
UPDATE: We've just finished our TV programme on 大象传媒 World News, Ros will be back on air with you, in a couple of minutes, this time on the radio. And we'd like your views on two stories: the death of Vittorio Arrigoni and Nato's next step in Libya.
Vittorio Arrigoni was an Italian pro-Palestinian activist. He was found dead hours after being seized on Thursday by a radical group in conflict with Hamas, called Salafists. The outpouring of grief online has been tremendous, and has become more pronounced as the day unfolds, vigils are been held for him around the world as I write.
Mohammed Suliman tweets: We lost another Palestinian martyr today. Only he was braver than many others
Lots of people are retweeting:Unbelievable how many lives #Vittorio touched, #Gaza is in shock, bereaved, mourning, missing his kind smile, unwavering courage & booming laugh
We will have guests on who knew Vittorio well, if you would like to share your reaction to Vittorio's death or chat with those who knew him please do get in touch.
We will also discuss Nato's next move. The French defence minister has just suggested a new UN Security Council resolution may be needed for Nato allies to achieve their goals in Libya. Will that help bring peace to Libya? You are very welcome to get in touch in all the usual ways.

Khanh Nin Ontario says: Nato is not in the position to decide who is right or wrong, they are there to stop the fightings. If the rebels initiate the fighting they should bomb them too. They just cannot stop Col Gaddafi's forces and let the rebels running loose. There will be no end to the killings.

@大象传媒_WHYS An all-out war against Gaudaffi, including arming the under trained and unorganized rebels, is certain to boost their morale.

Lynne in Scotland says: My heart is heavy for the family of Vittorio Arrigoni, it is an atrocious crime against humanity. Surely the way forward is to recognise the democratically elected representatives - Hammas- of Palestine? Our double standards are breathtaking.

@大象传媒_WHYS Seemingly , the friction between Hamas and Al-queada backed Salafists led to the killing of Vittorio Arrigoni
