PRESENTED BY JEREMY PAXMAN

Hello,

"We should remember that our future isn't dependent on the evil of those who seek to destroy our society."

Confident words from Peter Robinson, the Protestant power-sharing leader to the Northern Ireland Assembly. But the killings on Saturday night raised plenty of questions about who was behind these attacks, and what else they might be capable of doing. Richard Watson is investigating.

From Richard Watson:
"Following the murder of two soldiers in Northern Ireland, I'll be looking at dissident republican groups who're trying to re-ignite what they term the 'armed struggle'. We've spoken to a source who claims that different groups of dissidents who oppose the peace process are attempting to come together to create a new version of the IRA."

We also have a film from Lyse Doucet in Afghanistan. It's twenty years since the last foreign invaders packed up and left. But not everyone went home. Lyse takes a ride with a former red army soldier turned Kunduz taxi driver; and as memories of that conflict are being invoked again, she asks what lessons can be learned from the past.

And we'll will be interviewing Julie Myerson about her new book 'The Lost Child'. She's been heavily criticized for writing about her struggle with her son over his cannabis habit. We'll be asking her how a mother justifies betraying her son's confidence for her art.
