Rajan Datar finds out about an anecdotal research project that the BBC has conducted in three cities, with a view to finding out what the global audience thinks about news coverage of Afghanistan. The man behind the research explains the value of the study, and Rajan then asks one of the editors of the World Today about the effect the findings might have on the way his programme covers Afghanistan.

And he talks to the BBC’s Africa Editor, on behalf of a listener who feels that the differences between the peoples of Rwanda and Burundi should be described as social rather than ethnic.
