Hosni Mubarak remains in charge but if Tuesday's million man march lives up to its billing, the France 24 Debate wonders if he can still hang on. If not, who to fill his shoes? Answers range from the secular opposition to Islamists and the army.

Catholic Church: Going soft on contraception? (part 2)

Millions of Catholics around the world were left trying to fathom the pope’s position after Benedict 16th said that in some cases, the use of condoms could be justified. Just last year his holiness said condoms could actually be exacerbating the HIV epidemic in Africa and the only way to curb infection was via abstinence and fidelity. Does this turnaround mean the Catholic Church is finally going soft on condoms?

Gastronomy - Do the French still deliver? part 2

The traditional French sit-down meal gets top nods from Unesco, listed as one of humanity's "intemporal" cultural treasures. But sadly in France, the midday meal is less and less a sit-down affair.
