On air: Should the match be replayed?

This is rapidly becoming one of the biggest sports stories in years. Where to start?

In the last few minutes Thierry Henry has said, “Of course the fairest solution would be to replay the game but
it is not in my control”. Not everyone, including his President, agrees.

On Air: The spirit of sport

It’s supposed to be  FOOTball … but one player used his HAND instead in a game on Wednesday. – it’s caused a diplomatic row, and a lot of soul-searching about the spirit of sport.

Thierry Henry controlled the ball with his left hand – twice – before passing to William Gallas, who scored the goal that takes France- not Ireland- to the World Cup Finals in South Africa next year. And the French striker has just said the game should be replayed

The Irish government isn’t happy, with the country’s Justice Minister calling for a replay.

Time to pull the plug on the Copenhagen summit ?

UPDATE: Earlier in the week we did say we would talk about this on air today, but the Thierry Henry football story continues to gather pace around the world. We’re hoping we’ll be able to go live with Copenhagen sometime next week.

It was meant to be the final chance to do something about global warming.

But it doesn’t look like there’ll be a deal at the Copenhagen summit next month: the politicians can’t agree.

Will the new president make a difference to Europe?

Herman Van Rompuy, the Belgian Prime Minister has been appointed EU president. 

And the UK’s Baroness Catherine Ashton got the second new post – Foreign Affairs Supremo. 

 The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the appointments were a “milestone for Europe and for its role in the world”.
