What's the news where you live?

President George W Bush has launched a full attack on petrol prices. But the Houston Chronicle asks whether it will work? Some Americans think that Big Oil is making record profits off the pocketbook pain of average Americans.

We ask you to tell us what you want to talk about, and we received this e-mail from Bob Dorrett in Maryland in the United States:

For one show, I would like the topic of discussion to be on peak oil.

We tried to get Bob on the programme last night to tell us and you about his concerns. Not heard of peak oil? Here's a little information on Wikipedia. It's short for the Hubbert Peak Theory, so I've just learned. I've always just heard it described as peak oil.

Here's a story we had on the BBC News website about how peak oil had entered the mainstream debate. The basic question is: Is global oil production reaching a peak?

Of course, the world and Ukraine is remembering the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. There are hundreds of stories today in the news. Over on the BBC's Action Network, people concerned about nuclear power in the UK are talking about the issue.

And there is this subject that we started talking about yesterday: Youth: Friend or foe? Take a look at the conversation that has started.

And this story caught Ros's eye. The asexual movement.
