Hello everyone,

The highly anticipated speech, the main attraction, President Barack Obama's Cairo address is now a thing of the past.

The 6,000 word, 55 minute speech, featured only mild allusions to human rights and lack of political freedoms, but was a loud call for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim world.

We'll talk to Ben Wedeman, in Cairo, about how the speech was received and whether ordinary citizens felt President Obama's address was a game changer.

I did find it interesting that although Kind Abdullah of Saudi Arabia rolled out the red carpet and greeted Mister Obama in person on teh tarmac outside Air Force One, the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak did not make the trip to the airport, sending one of his ministers instead.

We'll also be live in Germany, where Frederik Pleitgen is covering the German leg of the trip. President Obama will visit the Buchenwald concentration camp, that his maternal grand-uncle Charlie Payne helped liberate in 1945.

Also today, we'll talk about the fiery presidential debate between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his main, pro-reform rival, Hussein Moussavi, broadcast live on Iranian TV.

Moussavi accused Ahmadinejad of tarnishing Iran's image, essentially for being a big mouth holocaust denier. Ahmadinejad waved a picture of Moussavi's wife on air, blasting accusations her way and turning the whole affair into a personal mud-slinging fest.

Christiane Amanpour is covering that story for us and we will dip into round two of the debate, which will be happening live when I-desk is on the air.

We'll take you live to Brazil for the latest on the mystery of AF flight 447. Investigators there say they've found more debris from the doomed Airbus.

Plus, as always, the rest of the day's top news stories!

See you on TV,

Hala
