I joined this morning's meet via telephone but I could feel the agony as we debated how to pull together all the talking points. It wasn't easy but somehow we've arrived at a consensus. The debate centred around an Australian senator's description of a female politician as "deliberately barren" . . .

Two days after the Virginia school shootings and the world is still talking about it. Your emails and texts came in to World Have Your Say yesterday including this email from Mark, UK

I do want to comment on the constant reference to the killer coming from South Korea. I believe it should be noted that he had lived in the US since 1992 and is more of an American than a Korean. I feel that his constant portrayal in the media about him being a S. Korean reinforces a racist reaction to something which is clearly much more complicated to understand, if this horrible happening could every be understood.


and this from Christa in San Diego

I'm an American and a Graduate of Virginia Tech. It is a lovely excellent school. Unfortunately that is not the problem in the US. The problem is immigration and guns.

And about insulting Islam, is there a tide change in opinion or is it just the last taboo of critical discussion?

The German interior ministry is appealing against a decision by the Berlin authorities to allow an Islamist to name his son Jihad, the Arabic word used for holy war. Were the Berlin authorities right to allow this man to name his child Jihad? Should people be allowed to call their child what they want? What's in a name anyway? What's the situation like in your country?

Next we're off to New York where the city council has symbolically banned the use of the . I say symbolically because if people are caught using the word they won't get punished.

This despite many in Southern Iraq feeling it is now in the grip of Shia militias.

Are troops from your country currently in Iraq? Should they now pull out?

Steve's idea about a reality tv show that has aired in the States, following a group of young Arabs on a road trip across America. descibes it as "Al Jazeera meets MTV", and asks if a reality tv show can improve the image of the United States abroad. Have you seen it? What do you make of it?

Sexualisation of young girls - The American Psychological Association's says inappropriate marketing is leading to the sexualisation of children by a consumer led society. Are children becoming too sexualised? Or is this an over reaction and are we not able to deal with a changing modern world?

At the weekend Britney Spears hit theagain - for all the wrong reasons. The star publicly shaved all her hair off in an LA salon and got some more tattoos before checking into rehab. She's clearly in a bad way. But who's fault is it? Her own? Should she just grow up? The media for the intense attention put on her for her wild partying while having two small children?

We've already talked on WHYS about the use of the 'n-word' by black people - but what about calling for a 'lynching'? with the glorification of violence and prison, and aggressive attitudes towards women. In the track he goes on "Because Martin Luther King died for you to act like this/ This is the best you can come up with?"

We talked yesterday about how Ahmadinejad's popularity seems to be waning, and we wanted to find bloggers and people in Iran to tell us why they think that is.

We've semi-suceeded in that, but we also want to find out why the tide is changing or whether the criticism of the President has always been there, we've just not been able to hear it..

But public outrage led to protest rallies and an unprecedented campaign to bring her killers to justice, was mounted by the media.

Our week in the USA ends today. We had a great response to , especially the issue of affirmative action - so a big thanks to Brad for joining us for the morning meeting and telling us that was what people in Michigan were talking about.

Today Neil in Detroit will take part in the meeting. If you want to jon us in the future, let us know.

Good morning, as you'll have read and/or heard, we're in Detroit today. Well, everyone else is - you may also have read that I'm holding the fort at Bush House while Mark, David, Rabiya, Ros and Richard travel the States. But I do have the pleasure of waking them up at 7am for the morning meeting.

Which we'll come to in a bit (about half an hour in fact). I'll blog the meeting here, but first, here's what we're thinking about: Election election election.

HI there. We've just been listening to Mark's appearance on Over To You, where he answered some criticisms of the programme. We were convinced but what he had to say then I guess in our cases he was preaching to the converted. So without any further ado, let's get on with the Morning Meeting.

Hi there. It's a dank drizzly day here in London but somehow winter always feels more bearable before Christmas rather than after. In fact I was waiting for the bus last night and saw an advert for at Somerset House which is a classic evening if you're ever in town. And all this despite sun-bathing on Sunday. Anyway, enough rambling about the weather.
