What is World Have Your Say?
| 14:49 UK time, Monday, 30 October 2006
The "Global Conversation" is a difficult concept to explain. World Have Your Say will aim to bring it a step closer on the radio between 1800-1900 GMT Monday to Friday and 24 hours a day via .
World Have Your Say is a news programme first and foremost but it's the listeners who dictate the agenda.
Our aim - and we know we won't always get this right - is to tap into what people are talking about and find out what's really making YOUR news, not just ours.
- We'll bring people together from all walks of life - and from all over the world - to hear their views.
- We'll make the "newsgathering" process as open as possible, by letting the audience see our running orders, and influence them.
- We'll invite access through every way we can imagine from to text to phonecalls to e-mail.
- We'll bring you stories you won't hear elsewhere.
- We'll bring you people who'll challenge your opinions or maybe even give you an opinion.
We have a vibrant and from different backgrounds (and different parts of the world) and presenters who have brilliant qualities; one of which is knowing when to shut up.
You will shape the programme by telling us what works and what doesn't and what you'd like to hear more or less of, but the most important thing is that you WILL tell us!

I'D HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $1500 DEDUCTIVBLES AND ALL OF THIS BECAUSE I WORKED AS A NURSE AND PICKED UP A DISEASE THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL NOT COVER AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SICK A DAY IN MY LIFE.

However, if you read the book First Into Nagasake, you will learn how profoundly the treatment of prisoners of war affects the attitude of people in the affected culture toward those who took the prisoners. Those people who minimize the importance of humane treatement of prisoners of war are either blind or foolish.

Does anyone really bbelieve a world with mostly authoritarian regimes would have even recognized climate change as a global problem, much less agreeing to hold a world wide conference to try and come to agreement on potential solutions?
