We’re always up for new ways for people to access WHYS.
So, we’ve set up a Facebook Fan Page a0 to find out if we have any fans and b) where you can pull apart each question we ask, and tell us what you think of the show.
Hopefully, it will complement the blog by being “open all hours”.
The conflict in Gaza is going to be our main story for the forseeable future.

The tv news channels and the papers have featured images of frightened and injured children on both sides of the conflict in Gaza.
During the war in Lebanon, we spoke to children on both sides- as well as children around the world saying what they felt about the images they were seeing.

Ok, bear with me on this.
Remember when we put your questions to the Taliban ? . We ran it by you, overall you thought we should talk with them and we did.

Israel says it carried out 30 air strikes overnight - and 4 thousand infantry are on the ground.
Palestinian medical sources say more than 500 people have been killed since the military action began, and civilians are running out of bread because of gas and electricity shortages.

Cuban leader Raul Castro celebrated 50 years since the revolution by telling people that :
“The enemy will never cease to be aggressive, treacherous and dominant.It is time to reflect on the future, on the next 50 years when we shall continue to struggle incessantly.I’m not trying to scare anyone, this is the truth”
On 26 October 2007, the World Have Your Say blog hosted a post from an anonymous user on a thread entitled ‘Congo and Kids’.
The post contained a number of wholly false allegations about members of the Lowry family of Swindon who run the Hillsborough Day Nursery.
The BBC is happy to make clear that there is no foundation in any of these allegations and wishes to apologise to the Lowry family for the distress caused.
No comments will be published on this post.
Hamas - or someone who can speak on their behalf - will be taking your questions today, following the appearance of Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev on yesterday’s programme. Continue reading ‘Your questions to Hamas.’
Madeleine is tonight at an Arab Israeli Café in Jerusalem and we’ll be bringing you World Have Your Say from there. Yesterday we were at Itay’s house, he’s an Israeli medical student who, with a couple of his friends started a dialogue with a group of Gazans about the current situation.
Also, while we’re on air the Israeli Consulate is holding an online press conference on twitter right here.
