World Food Programme warns of Afghan shortages

United Nations agency says Afghanistan could run out of food by September.

We speak to a World Food Programme official in Afghanistan about the warning that the country could run out of food by September.

Also in the programme: We hear the tale of a woman mayor's dramatic escape from Kabul; and what a US airman learnt by eavesdropping on the Taleban for hundreds of hours:

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are the Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary and Eunice Goes, a Portuguese-born professor of politics at Richmond University in the UK.
