Women in Saudi Arabia defied a decades old ban by driving through the streets of their country today. The protest was triggered by an online campaign; you may have seen the hashtag #Women2Drive on Twitter. We will hear from people in Saudi Arabia for their opinions on this issue. What do you make of this? Do you support the women? Will defying a ban like this help or hinder their campaign? We spoke to some women this morning. Here's a link to Chloe's post where you can read more on this story.
The leaders of Germany and France have urged for a bail-out for Greece to be agreed on as soon as possible. Not everyone agrees, here's a little of what you are saying online.

‎Ummm I am *NOT* ok with this.. ... We're in our own crisis and we're bailing out greece?
Glendon in Jamaica says on Facebook
Greece can't continue to live above their means while teetering on the edge of a recession that doesn't make economic sense. They need to cut their budgets on spending and have a more tighter fiscal policy, they need to tighten their belts and come up with some meaningful ways of getting the country out of the economic stagnation.
Should Greece receive another bail-out? What does this mean for the Eurozone?
Also on the programme... Police in Russia faked a car accident to see how the public reacted - no one stopped, and no one called the police. In your country, would people stop at the scene of an accident? Ros has just written about this. Here's a link to his blog post.
