ON TV: Is recession inevitable?

On Friday Ros will be making his world TV debut …no pressure. WHYS will be on BBC World News at 1040 BST, 1345 BST and 1740 BST – if you want to catch us. This is where you come in. Our three mini editions of the programme are part of the BBC’s special day focusing on the economy. After a few some what bumpy weeks, we are asking these two questions – Is recession inevitable? Has your confidence returned?

Adoption – who’s right?

Madonna is getting divorced. And the real father of her adopted son David is not too happy with his son being brought up by a single mother.

But he gave up his son didn’t he? Should he now get a say in how little David is brought up?

On-Air: Space race – or the future of the human race?

Hi it’s Mark Halliley here- I’m presenting today and tomorrow’ s shows.  As you’ll see from the other Mark’s post below, we discussed the new space race at our editorial meeting and it looks like it’s overwhelmingly number one on your agenda. The peg is India’s entry…

Thanks , KALW

Ros and i have just got back from a 48 hour trip to San Francisco to answer listeners’ queries about WHYS. We took part in a call-in show on KALW hosted by their manager, Matt Martin.

“Lift off is normal”……

Hats off to India as they join the space race , which is shaping up quite nicely… what with Japanese and Chinese satellites already up there.
