Mary Jordan - There are less than two weeks to go before election day in the US and Barack Obama is surging ahead in the polls.

One recent survey gives Obama a 10 percentage point lead. The first term Democrat senator looks likely to win by a large margin.

Sir David talks to Mary Jordan, London bureau chief for the Washington Post, about what could happen in the next two weeks and what went wrong for John McCain.

General William Ward - Sir David talks to General William Ward , the first commander of AFRICOM, the new US military command for Africa.

Prior to assuming his current position, Ward was Deputy Commander, Headquarters US European Command, Stuttgart, Germany.

The US wants an African command centre based on the continent, to co-ordinate all American military and security interests - an area of responsibility covering all of Africa, except Egypt.
