This week Rajan talks to the producer behind the documentary series, Iran and the West, about the difficulties of persuading presidents to take part in her programmes.

This week, Rajan Datar asks whether it was appropriate for the World Service to broadcast an extract from a video, released by the Taliban, showing the anguish of a captured American soldier talking about his family.

The editor of Newshour justifies the programme’s decision to use his voice, and discusses whether broadcasting the video will undermine attempts to secure his release.
