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.

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.
