Somalia

Fiona Crack | 09:49 UK time, Friday, 27 April 2007

In every newspaper I've read this morning, there are more stories of , and more terrifying statistics. And today the UN have said that "." 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?

More of your suggestions coming into our inbox, firstly one from the UK:

I am a member of the parachute regiment and I believe sending young Harry is a good idea as he will see live combat and it will change his attitude on life. All male royal family members do there army training and I believe that adding the armed combat helps them understand what folk like myself are doing for the country. Prince Andrew flew helicopter missions in the Falklands and he work hard for Queen and country in helping recapture what had been wrongfully taken. By letting Harry have combat experience will help him realise what we do everyday to serve his grandmother and help our nation become safe.

It's certainly a big talking point on the site where they are asking "".

And Tommy in in Columbus, Ohio wants to hear reaction to the controversial kiss and yesterday an Indian court issued an for Gere

I’d like to hear what your listeners in India think about the arrest warrant issued for Richard Gere. I just can’t accept that anyone educated would honestly believe incarcerating Gere for kissing Shilpa Sheti on the cheek, at an AIDS fund raiser no less, is at all justified. He was there to raise money and increase AIDS awareness and now they want to arrest him? It seems a bit like curing dandruff by decapitation (a term coined by Dee Synder). Would it be offensive if I suggested that their ‘cultural sensibilities’ are a bit outlandish?

Putin points the finger at "" and says money from abraod was being used to meddle in Russia's domestic politics.

And what about the debate. They are infuriated and say it's little more than a political manoeuvre by Beijing to undermine them. Is it? What are the Taiwanese saying? Do they want the torch or not?

And back to India, , the famous Bollywood star recently married has decided to continue her career but live in the family home of her husband and take his name, and by doing it, she apparently risks alienating her staunchly conservative fan base. Usually Bollywood sirens retire to have children when they marry. Progress?

Women face a on Islamic dress in Tehran.

Despite massive protests which left one dead and 40 injured the in Estonia. It's the second most viewed story on the ±«Óãtv website. I presume it's the talk of the town in Tallin.

And finally (sorry for the emerging Indian theme...) but when it comes to violent protest. A 10-square mile zone in Mumbai, Napean Sea Road, is a totally meat-free zone and some residents want to keep it that way. But Anshul Gunwani doesn't.
