BFBS Sitrep

In Sitrep today: Afghanistan - can we trust the journalists there to tell us the real story. In Iraq - are the politicians dumping on democracy & are the Iranians winding up both sides.

In Sitrep today: Afghanistan - why the answers are harder than the questions, why we need to talk to the enemy and the Taliban on-line.  Is Iraq a mess or a miracle?  Is the foreign office going bust?  Why the pirates are heading East.  The latest Middle East crisis - why isn't it obvious?  And corruption at Westminster - but we still tell others to clean up their act.  That's all in Sitrep with Christopher Lee and guests at 4pm on BFBS Radio 2, on-line and listen again.

In Sitrep today: Soft power, hard power, nuclear power, cyber-war, organized crime – is that the future for defence? Plus, cutting nuclear weapons down to size – but is size everything?

Afghanistan, why the foreign office thinks President Karzai's lost it. Israel, why Jerusalem's not negotiable.  The Coroner has spoken, but is it too simple to blame Gordon Brown?  The future's in Cyberspace, but who's listening in the MOD?  And...can the government really gag the Media ?

Why don’t we trust the MoD? And why assassinations are an everyday part of democracy in Iraq.

In today's Sitrep:   Why Obama can't win in America.  After 10 long years the Bloody Sunday Inquiry report is due to be published - but what will it say? 

Day by day analysis of Operation Moshtarak and how World War II thinking could save Afghanistan from Taliban.

In this week's programme: Helmand - why Moshtarak is make or break in Helmand and why Trident won't be up for grabs in the strategic defence review.  

Why does the navy has more admirals than warships? Why are there are more civvies in MOD than the RN & RAF put together?

Afghanistan - promises promises promises - but we're in it for the long haul.  And The Blair Witch Trial - not many friends left in court
