***ISSUE OF THE DAY*** 29 year old Miguel Hayworth was threatened with arrest by Greater Manchester Police over the weekend for reading passages of scripture from the Bible out loud in a public place. His crime? Ptential "incitement to religious hatred"...for preaching the Gospel in a public place. Premier News is reporting that today Mr Hayworth has been arrested by Kent Police for similar activity - confirmed by his legal representation at the Christian Legal Centre. Tune in to Dave & Bridgitte at 16.30 today on Premier Drive where they will be discussing this case and the wider pro's and con's of street preaching in the UK today.

Big Issue 17th April - As Christians we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover...Do you agree?

Last week on Britain's Got Talent Susan Boyle blew away the doubters with an extraordinary singing performance. When the devout Chriatian she took to the stage, expectations were low. The audience laughed and mocked her. But moments later when they heard her voice - they soon changed their tune. Clips of her singing have been watched by millions all over the world.

But does this story highlight that too often people are judged by their looks or dress-code, and not considered on their merits. Do you feel under pressure to comply? Can your looks, accent, clothing affect how you get on in life? Are we too quick to judge a book by it's cover?

Big Issue 26th March - Should there be abortion advice advertised on prime time telly?

Condom adverts could also be shown before the 9pm watershed. The Advertising Standards Agency is launching a 12 week consultation to gauge reaction to the plans.

The watchdog claims it is responding to Government calls for action to combat rising teenage pregnancy.

However, those against abortion will be required to make clear if they do not refer women for abortion so that delays do not result in medical complications.

The move has been criticised by the church and pro-life groups.

Dr Peter Saunders, of the Christian Medical Fellowship, said: "The problem is that the Government strategy on teenage pregnancy, based on condoms, the morning-after pill and abortion, has failed.

"Allowing the advertising of abortion services is not dealing with the real problem."

But the Brook Advisory Centres, which give advice on contraception and abortion, said it was a step forward for sexual health.

The new code would see further relaxation of rules for advertising condoms, except around programmes directed at children below the age of 10.

Currently, Channel 4 is the only channel where condoms are allowed to be advertised from 7pm.

The proposal comes in response to calls from the Independent Advisory Group on Sexual Health and HIV, a quango, to combat Britain's teenage pregnancy rate, the highest in Europe, and sexually transmitted diseases.

From 2002 to 2006, more than 11,000 under-16s were diagnosed with gonorrhoea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes or genital warts despite the Government spending £300 million in an attempt to tackle the problem.

The IAG said surveys show that young people believe television is one of the most effective ways of encouraging condom use.

The 12-week consultation closes on Friday June 19 and the new codes are expected to come into force in 2010.
