<title><![CDATA[Today: 0855 The Haka 22 Nov 08]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
Does a war dance have a place on the modern sporting field? Questions have been raised over the aggressive nature of the New Zealand All Black rugby team's pre-match Haka, but perhaps the solution is a war-like pre-match ritual of our own. Could a morris dancing group from Maldon in Essex provide the solution? Jim White, sports writer for the Daily Telegraph, and Zinzan Brooke, a former New Zealand All Black, discuss the possibility of a home-grown Haka.

<title><![CDATA[Today: 0730 Welfare plan 'will help' 21 Nov 08]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
From Monday, it is going to be more difficult for single parents to get benefits. Until now they have had income support automatically. But if the child is over 12, the government wants the lone parent to look for work and so they will get the jobseekers allowance instead. That means having to report to a job centre and prove they're looking for a job. Kim Catcheside investigates if the plan should be put off because of the economic crisis. Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell responds to criticism of the plans.

The Italian film Gomorra, depicting the destructive workings of the Neapolitan criminal organisation, the Camorra, is based on a book by the Italian writer Roberto Saviano.
