On air at 17GMT: What are we learning about the UK?
| 14:48 UK time, Monday, 18 July 2011
This topic was discussed on World Have Your Say on 18 July, 2011. Listen to the programme here.
The story keeps on rolling.... John Yates of the Metropolitan Police has resigned, the day after his boss chose to go. You can get all the latest here. I wouldn't dream of second-guessing where this story will be come 17GMT, but wherever we are we can be certain there will be yet more cause to consider what all of this says about the UK. We're inviting foreign correspondents based in London to join me in the studio to chew over the latest developments and what we are learning about the state of this nation. You're welcome to join in.
ON AIR: TALIBAN VIDEO WATCHED BY 1000s
Many people around the world have been watching a video of what appears to be Taliban fighters from Afghanistan executing Pakistani policemen on the Pakistan side of the border between the two countries. You can see part of it here, and be warned it makes for very uncomfortable viewing.
We're going to hear your reaction to it. Unsuprisingly you're almost all unified in your disgust, but the conclusions you're drawing about the future of Pakistan and Afghanistan are very different.
The video has appeared as Gen David Petraeus has ended his time as the US commander of NATO troops in Afghanistan.
ON AIR TOMORROW
Rupert and James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks will be taking questions from a UK parliamentary committee tomorrow afternoon (local time). You'll get it all live on the and I'll be at Westminster and Chloe will be out of town (venue to be decided) to get reaction to their answers.
