Two sisters are being given early release from prison on the condition that to the other. The sisters are serving life in prison in Mississippi for armed robbery. Gladys and Jamie Scott have already served 16 years of their sentences.
Mississippi Governor has agreed to suspend their sentences because of Jamie Scott's poor health. In a statement on Thursday Governor Barbour said:
The Mississippi Department of Corrections believes the sisters no longer pose a threat to society. Their incarceration is no longer necessary for public safety or rehabilitation, and Jamie Scott's medical condition creates a substantial cost to the State of Mississippi. . . . Gladys Scott's release is conditioned on her donating one of her kidneys to her sister, a procedure which should be scheduled with urgency.
But his decision has not been welcomed by everyone.
Several of Pakistan's biggest cities have been heavily disrupted by strikes that oppose proposed changes to the country's blasphemy laws. We discussed the laws recently on WHYS because of the case of a Pakistani Christian woman, Asia Bibi, who's been sentenced to death for blasphemy.
The changes, which are not backed by the government, want to get rid of the death sentence and introduce other measures aimed at reducing miscarriages of justice. That this is being opposed is seen as evidence by some that Pakistanis have no appetite for 'modernisation'.
Youssoufou Bamba has said there had been large scale violation of human rights as a result of the ongoing political unrest, stemming from the refusal of Laurent Gbagbo to step down despite his rival, Alassane Ouattara, being internationally accepted as the winner of the presidential election.
Bamba is an appointment by Ouattara, so clearly his words may not come from an entirely neutral perspective. Nevertheless, these are clearly worrying times for Ivorians. The number of deaths attributed to the crisis was already in the hundreds last week.
Should the worst happen, it will likely trigger a stream of people desperate to flee into Ivory Coast's neighbours - Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana - and perhaps even further afield.
The Red Cross and Red Crescent have already launched a million-dollar appeal to help neighbouring countries cope with the influx.
If you're in the region, what would your reaction be? Is there any chance of averting genocide in Ivory Coast? How should other West African countries be responding? How can they help? And what should the UN be doing?

A report by the group suggests deaths in the country from violence have fallen to their lowest level since 2003, when the US-led invasion of the country began.
The report suggests deaths dropped by 15% from 2009, to just under 4,000.
On average, two bombs explode each day in the country, each killing four people. The reports says this is the "impassable minimum", with civilians likely to be killed at similar rates for years to come.
So is this the best Iraqis can hope for? Priyam on our Facebook page thinks not:
The tragedy of the situation is that even if 2 bombs explode everyday, it is taken for granted for places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Would we react the same way had it been some other country?
And is critical of the way the report is itself being reported:
bbcnews is so biased. Iraq body count shows fall in civilian deaths. Why not '10 civilians a day still being killed'? Never reported before
But there's equal criticism from on his blog, who describes criticism as "politically expedient memory loss" and says this number of deaths is nothing compared to those killed when Saddam Hussein was in charge:
That 108,000 over seven years equates to less than HALF the average number of killings committed in any one year by Hussein's regime & the 2010 figures are less than ons sixth of that.
What do you think? Are the figures something to applaud, or to be ashamed of?

He's only the Prime Minister in a Presidential system of government. But it's Vladimir Putin that people look to when assessing who's in charge in Russia.
Few global observers look to Dmitry Medvedev when discussing who's in charge in Russia. Indeed, Wikileaks recently revealed that US diplomats consider Putin the "alpha male", while Medvedev is "hesitant".
And in the wake of a second conviction of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the Russian business leader and jailed opponent of Putin, people are asking whether Putin isn't just a little too powerful.
puts it:
Mikhail Khodorkovsky is a man who irritates Putin. He had the nerve to support politicians who opposed the election of then president Putin Naturally, anyone who tells the emperor there are no clothes on his body is subject to either being killed or sent to jail.
And in the Russian daily newspaper , the president of the Institute of Modern Politics, Vladimir Lysenko, said the verdict was a "victory" for Putin.

Hi, this is Dan with Newshour today.
The campaign group Sense About Science says that this year there has been a big rise in dubious theories about how the body works.
Cheryl Cole told the world about her and how it gave her extra energy.
Singer and actress Olivia Newton-John says that she takes digestive enzymes and plant tonics to boost her immune system.
Other unusual ideas about boosting bodily functions have prompted strange diets, from Naomi Campbell's maple syrup, lemon and pepper regime to Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding sprinkling charcoal over her meals.
Sense About Science says there's the body does it naturally, and there are no shortcuts to good food and enough exercise.
Have you tried a 'celebrity diet?' How did you get on?
Hi, this is Ros updating Dan's earlier post. I don;t think many of you saw this story coming. Sir Elton (along with his partner, David Furnish) have a son born to a surrogate mother in California on Christmas Day, and there are three things being talked through online.
1) Should a gay couple be allowed to have a surrogate child?
2) Is Elton too old to become a dad?
3) The merits of the name Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. (As a man wth a woman's name, I'm passing no comment...)
There's also some concern about the level of scrutiny young Zacharia will live with.
Are any or all of these issues worthy of consideration, or should we just raise a glass to Elton and his partner, and let them get on with bringing the boy up.
Firstly, he says that NGOs helping with the aid effort need to consult more and take instruction more. 'I need to have control over what they do in my country,' is the quote.

2011 is a big year for African politics. Next year nearly twenty nations across the continent will hold national elections, probably the most since the independence era.
So you can understand why many have been watching the events unfolding in Ivory Coast. has said this is the World vs Gbagbo in an African test case.
With numerous International and African bodies going up against a steadfast incumbent the outcome in Ivory Coast will surely send a message to the rest of continents leaders ahead of so many important elections.
Today the UN is of a real risk of civil war in the country, they say Mr Gbabgo is recruiting Liberian mercenaries in preparation of violence. The Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has also accused Mr Gbabgo of blockading the country鈥檚 UN mission warning that 鈥渁ttempting to starve them into submission will not be tolerated.鈥

No is his short answer. He's given his first face-to-face interview since being released on bail in the UK. You can hear the whole interview with the 91热爆's John Humphrys's , and this is the news story off the back of it.
In the interview Mr. Assange outlines why he will not voluntarily go to Sweden to speak with the authorities. We're going to discuss if his reasoning is sound.
It's also relevant to read as detailed in police documents leaked to The Guardian newspaper.

As thousands of people spend another day 听- Frankfurt and London Heathrow - thanks to snow and ice grounding planes, there's a common thread to much of the comment:
We need to be better prepared ...听听The attitude of uncertainty cannot last, and it is a time for the authorities to be ready for the worst that each winter might bring.
This blog post was written by Anna Chapman and posted by me.
Snow is falling, all around. Well, it certainly is all over Europe - and nowhere is it doing so with more impact than the UK.
The busiest airport in Europe, Heathrow near London, is all but closed. Flights from Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris airports have all suffered mass cancellations.
Indeed, the Daily Telegraph describes Heathrow as a "refugee camp." They spoke to Mr Garrels who :
We had -3C here yesterday and four inches of snow. In Helsinki it was -25C and they have almost a metre of snow on the ground. Yet there were no delays there.
One of the major stories of 2010 has been the real rise in tensions in the Korean peninsula - from the back in March to the North's shelling of the island of Yeonpyeong last month.
Now there is the sound of warfare on that disputed island again - this time the weapons being fired by troops from the South, taking part in live-fire exercises there.
The government in the South has been under huge pressure domestically to respond to the attack from the North last month, and this exercise has been seen in that context - the US envoy to the UN, Susan Rice, saying the drills were "fully consistent with South Korea's legal right to self defence".
But is the South as much to blame for the tensions - and ultimately the threat of war - as the North?

They've been labelled the WikiLeaks hackers. A group of activists who've attacked the websites of companies they accuse of colluding with governments to censor WikiLeaks.

This means Ireland is likely to have to change its laws regarding abortion, with the government potentially having to allow access to abortion for women whose lives are at risk - something the women's lawyers had argued was not the case in Ireland in reality.

At least 27 people have died after a boat carrying asylum seekers crashed into rocks off the coast of Australia's Christmas Island.
Local people said they first knew what was happening when they heard the screams of those who had been thrown into the water. One eye witness told Australia's ABC radio what it was like.
People were running round with life jackets, trying to compile as many life jackets as we could. But it was pointless, because the wind would just blow them back in your face. I've only just realised that the boat's broken up and people are in the water. I saw children on that boat. I saw children screaming... Screaming. And I can hear children, screaming.

Italians have dubbed it B-day. Just a few minutes ago, Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi听won the听first confidence vote test in the Senate but must now face a second confidence vote in the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies.

A no-confidence vote in the Chamber of Deputies, however, will be much closer.The word is that it may come down to one vote. It's that close. If Berlusconi were to lose he would have to resign.
suggest it was carried out by an Iraqi Muslim extremist, Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, who was based in the British town of Luton.
It is the first time a suicide bomber has struck the country, and the first terror attack there of any kind since the 1970s - although there have been attacks on leading figures since then, such as the 1986 assassination of the prime minister or the 2003 stabbing of foreign minister Anna Lindh.
Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt on Sunday said the attack was "unacceptable" but urged Swedes not to jump to "premature conclusions" that "create tension which paints pictures that are then difficult to change."
"Sweden is an open society... which has stated a wish that people should be able to have different backgrounds, believe in different in gods, and live side by side."
But is that possible?
Reports are now suggesting that one of the motivations for the attack was a Swedish cartoon that depicted Islam's prophet Muhammad as a dog.
And of the Swedish Defence Research Agency has said Sweden has the same problems to contend with around radicalisation as anywhere else:
"The whole idea is that this is a global war for them and that the target exists everywhere, all over the world."
Does what happened in Sweden show that even countries famed for tolerance cannot expect to be safe? Why has Sweden been attacked now? What's your reaction to what has happened?
Three months on from being at the centre of global attention with his threats to burn the Koran on 11 September, Pastor Terry Jones is back in the news.
This time, it's because he's accepted an invitation by the to speak at a rally in Luton next year. (By coincidence, Luton was the home of the suicide bomber who this weekend attacked the Swedish capital Stockholm.)
Pastor Jones' explains why he wants to visit the UK:
During the protest, Dr Terry Jones will speak against the evils and destructiveness of Islam in support of the continued fight against the Islamification of England and Europe.

I asked to post here on an issue that not only is alive online but also goes to the heart of what we're trying to do on World Have Your Say.
In the interests of transparency i should say that Bill worked in various roles in 91热爆 News from 1973 to 2008, including and was once my boss at 5 Live. Here's his piece...
Worried....
This is not a thesis, a forecast or a warning - more of an anxiety.
Sitting at a computer screen in the UK this week, there are threads emerging from the way "social media" is being used that worry me.
The "old" politicians are still trying to get to grips with these new forms of communication, after Barack Obama's embracing of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in his presidential campaign. He still has 6m followers, though nowadays the tweets have the feel of a White House machine, rather than the genuine Obama fingers.
What I'm worried about is an increasing sense that online campaigns and individuals outside our parliamentary system feel they have now a "democratic" position above and beyond the paper processes that produce elected governments and their trappings.
Since Liu Xiaobo was announced as the winner of the Nobel peace prize in October China has barely been able to contain its . Officials in the country have labelled the award an 鈥渙bscenity鈥 and have openly warned against diplomats going to Oslo.
According to Beijing any countries attending the ceremony are 鈥渃lowns鈥, warning they鈥檒l face 鈥渟erious consequences鈥 if they turn up. These threats haven't gone unnoticed, a third of countries invited are staying away.
Russia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Afghanistan are just a few countries that have declined invitations. Publicly many of them haven鈥檛 given a reason for staying away but clearly they鈥檙e worried about repercussions.
Many in the west have labelled China鈥檚 approach nothing more than . Are they right? Is this the best way to pressure China?听How important is it to stand up to China?听Will the peace prize change anything?
Whether it's high-level in deciding the destination of the world's biggest football event or , it seems more palms are being greased and more backs are being scratched worldwide.
On Wednesday a judge in the US state of Louisiana was impeached for taking bribes; earlier this year Ivory Coast's chamber of commerce said unofficial payments to the police were costing the country $300m.

****
The funny thing about reporting the world (including Sierra Leone- pictured) is that the more and more you do, the more you realise that what divides us is much less than what unites us.
What we care about - education, our kids growing up safe, having a job, somewhere to call home, living long, and being healthy - are things in which we share many common goals and aspirations.
And yet it is these very things which can bring us the most joy and the most anguish. If these basics in life aren't there and aren't secure, then it is these that can affect any of us.
