Iran

Burning protestors, international wrangling and claim and counter-claim of WMD. Iran moved to the top of the diplomatic agenda as the UN Atomic Agency issued a strong plea for the Iranian government to adhere to its demands immediately. The Prime Minister will discuss the issue with his colleagues at the EU Summit in Greece. We asked where this dispute with Iran was heading.

Bishop of Reading
And, as the Dr Jeffrey John - the new Bishop of Reading - defended his relationship with his male partner, we asked whether this row was about to split the Anglican Church irreparably.

Holidays
How hard do you work? The German Finance Minister thinks that his countrymen don't work hard enough. So is he about to heed Gordon Brown's desire to make Europe more flexible? And for flexible, should we read fewer hols?

Harry Potter
And the countdown to Volume Five is well and truly underway. We discussed the phenomenon of Harry Potter.
