Your DNA on a national database
| 14:47 UK time, Wednesday, 5 September 2007
We're now off air, but keep posting your comments on the blog.
Unlike my usual sprawling efforts, this is going to a short and sharp affair. We've got some new music on the way (24 September's the date for your diary) and I'm helping get it all together so my afternoon is full of bass drums, dramatic synth stabs and atmospheric strings. Just call me Ros Michel Jarre.
Right here are today's stories...
SHOULD EVERYONE IN YOUR COUNTRY HAVE THEIR DNA ON A NATIONAL DATABASE?
. Would you support the crime-stopping move in your country?
GERMANY FINDS ITS HOME-GROWN TERRORISTS
It's something which people in Britain and Iraq have had to consider but not those of you in Germany before today. Two major terrorist attacks and some of those planning them are German. We'll hear your reaction.
SHOULD YOU BE ABLE TO CALL YOUR CHILD WHATEVER YOU WANT?
Not in Venezuela if . They want to keep names to a select list (a long one it has to be said). I remember a New Zealander earlier this year being stopped from giving his new son a name with a number in it (something like 4eva). France also has had name lists.
My favourite is the Venezuelan child called Superman. I also met a Ugandan fisherman while we were there who was called Email. Bearing some of the more unlikely names parents go for, should there be restrictions? But remember all this is coming from someone who has a girls name so I'm going to keep quiet on the matter.
WANT TO TALK ABOUT GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED CYBER CRIME?
Matt on the WHYS team does. Are you persuaded?Read his post here:
SOWETO NO GO. A combination of the discussion on Iraq not showing any signs of stopping, and our guests in Soweto not picking up the phone meant the item didn't get on the air yesterday.
Speak to you later.
