In today's Sitrep: Sitrep brings you a special discussion on the world the newly-elected prime minister will be facing.  What will be at the top of his in-tray?  Where are today's global hot-spots?

Sitrep Trail 29 April In today’s Sitrep: Afghanistan: Why no one knows how to fix it and why they never did.  Iraq: Why the killing goes on and why we should still care.  Northern Ireland: Why the dissidents won’t go away and nor can the police Scuds & thuds: Who’s handing out the Scuds and who they pointing at.  And...why the junk navy sails again That’s all  in Sitrep with Christopher Lee and guests at 4pm on BFBS Radio 2, on-line and listen again.

The Great Debate - this week it's Defence & Foreign Affairs but do Brown, Cameron & Clegg really know what they're talking about? The new security challenges: is the UK up to them? Cyprus after the elections: what's the future for the whole island? And The Volcano - the true power in the land. Plus: why Bligh wasn't just of the Bounty and...and why Brits can't test drive national pride.

Is the Defence Debate - sterile or virile?  Why are there thousands of ex-service personnel in prison. Why the Americans are quitting Death Valley.  Will Kyrgistan be the next honeypot for terrorists? Should we like Russia - and do they like us? What's the vision thing? Who had it, who has it, and,  who needs it?

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.
