Hello. Mbuyu just messaged me asking for the Daily Email and describing himself as 'aged 17, and a faithful listener from Zambia'. I'm not sure if everyone else is so young or so faithful, but Peter in Uganda, Deonne in Jamaica, Micah in Eldoret, Kenya, Lyndon in Edinburgh, Nana in Accra, Julian in Wrexham in the UK, Laura in Cleveland, Anita in Kuwait, and David in the south-west of England, you're all very welcome.

ON AIR: THE COST OF WAR
The players in Afghanistan politics are setting about giving Hamid Karzai their opinion on how to make his second-term more stable and less corrupt than the first. But we're going to leave the politicians to one side today, and talk to people who've suffered the unimaginable upset of losing a loved one in this conflict.

We're inviting American, British and Canadian families, relatives of Afghan civilians killed by NATO, US or Taliban attacks, and, if it's possible, families whose relatives have died fighting for the Taliban.

We'd like to hear what they want Hamid Karzai to do now, and if they feel their loved ones died in a conflict that's worth fighting.

IS TV A FORCE FOR GOOD?
Charles Kenny is a Washington-based developmental economist. Among other things, he says "soap operas and reality shows help solve real-world problems". The comes as debates in various countries focus on the amount and type of TV that children watch. Do you think it's too easy to knock television without appreciating the contribution it makes?
