Afghanistan and Iraq

It's Remembrance Sunday and we are on air at 12:10 straight after the commemoration at the Cenotaph.

International Development Secretary Hilary Benn

Two years on from the fall of Kabul, we thought it would be a good time to look at the state of post-war Afghanistan.

We examine the progress (or lack of it) since the war ended and will be interviewing the recently appointed International Development Secretary Hillary Benn about Britain's role.

We will also be asking him about events in Iraq.

Paola Buonadonna has spent the week in Greece and Brussels with the EU Social Affairs Commissioner Anna Diamantopoulou.

She has had a busy week piloting through new European laws to ban gender discrimination in areas like insurance.

Next on her agenda is a review of EU laws on working hours which could spell trouble for Britain's current opt out.

And we will have our MPs quiz.

Last week, Claire Curtis-Thomas got full marks for her knowledge of her Crosby constituency.

You can see how this week's contestant got on.
