Tuesday's Programme..
In half an hour we'll hear the opening comments of Sir John Chilcot live at the beginning of his inquiry into the Iraq war. Plus we'll talk about the technique of sperm washing - which allows an HIV positive man to become a father without passing on the virus to either his partner or unborn child. And we'll get reaction from one of the men arrested and then released after those terror raids in the North West of England - today a report into those arrests has criticised the police.
Should beauty advertisers be more honest, and open, about the amount of airbrushing they use?
A new survey suggests that more than two-thirds of women feel they're selling 'perfect' images of women that are unrealistic, and unobtainable. So, just how much tampering goes on with the photos we see in magazines and on billboards? And how damaging can all this be for women's self esteem, and confidence?
We'll speak to the supermodel Erin O'Connor about this today. See what people are already saying about it on my twitter page: search @vicderbyshire.
Next week - Zimbabwe
Inflation has been tamed (it was 500 billion % in February, it's now 3%), a few goods have reappeared in the shops and a little more food is available to a hungry nation. Criticis say President Mugabe has lost none of his readiness to repress his enemies. When we visit Zimbabwe next week we'll hopefully find out for ourselves exactly what life in the country is like right now.
