Kirsty Wark presents in-depth news investigation and analysis. What has been the impact of the policy of liberal intervention and 'nation building' in Afghanistan? A film from Ethiopia shows how the life of one man - as chronicled by a British documentary maker for 25 years - has been emblematic of his country's recent history. Plus, a look at how big a problem bonuses and high pay are for Labour, and Matt Prodger scours the biographies which undermine the reputations of the literary greats.
