Newsday

Available for over a year

A former insider in the North Korean regime talks to the BBC about its nuclear weapons programme and secret recreational drug programme. We'll head to Iraq to hear why the majority of Iraqis appear to have given up hope that today's elections will improve their security, economy or democracy. And fears are growing that the Taliban are targeting women who served in the Afghan army and police services. We speak to the former head of the British forces in Afghanistan.
