World Service - World Have Your Say homepage On air from Cairo: Arab Uprisings Special
|
Friday, 6 June 2011
|17:00 - 20:00 GMT
Here's the spectacular venue where Ros, Simon, Krupa and Naveena from the WHYS team - with colleagues from the 成人论坛 Arabic Service - are preparing for today's programmes on the Arab Uprisings.
We're on air at 1600GMT on 成人论坛 World News TV (one hour later than normal) and 1700GMT / 1800GMT on 成人论坛 World Service radio (usual times) and we hope you can join in.
We're going to focus on these areas, as they seem to be much discussed at the moment ...
1. Why the difference in the response from the UN in Syria compared to the response in Libya?
2. How do you fix economies slowed down by the Arab Uprisings? If economies are taking a serious hit - was it worth it?
3. The role that capitalism and Islam should play in future Arab societies.
And of course, if there are any other points you'd like to discuss, you can post them here.
You can get involved in the conversation on Twitter with #bbccairo and #whys.
By the way - if our team in Cairo is glistening on your screens a little more than usual, here's why:
@rosatkins I'm looking at what I'll call a 'three-shirter'. A colleague just asked me if I'd been in the pool. If only...
I'm with the team in London (where it certainly isn't 34C / 93F!) reading your contributions and we'll be taking your calls during the programme too. Speak to you later.

Great point @jazkhalifa and I'd argue that ignoring cultural sensitivities is one of the reasons for the civil uprising in Egypt @bbc_whys

So it's wrong to think that your country should encourage visitors as a way to appreciate your cultural values? @jazkhalifa @bbc_whys

@成人论坛_WHYS Exit of dictators does not always come with democracy. What ensures it is respecting the rule of law #bbccairo
