Rajan Datar finds out why the dangers facing journalists are greater in the Philippines than anywhere else in the world. 38 media personnel have been killed there this year, 31 of them in a massacre at the end of last month. Rajan talks to a spokesman from the International Federation of Journalists about what can be done, and what the problems mean for media coverage of the Philippines. He also hears some of your views on the BBC's coverage of Afghanistan – and as the votes come in to select the African Footballer of the Year, he asks how voters can be sure that the poll isn't rigged.
