The “Riz Khan” show examines the strategy for the war in Afghanistan and the toll it is taking on British troops. Fifteen British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan in the first half of July, taking the total number of British fatalities there since 2001 to 184 and surpassing the number of British troops killed in Iraq.The deaths have increased concerns over the UK's strategy in Afghanistan, particularly whether there are sufficient troop numbers and whether forces are properly equipped. Riz speaks to Rory Stewart, director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University and a former British army officer. Also joining the programme is Amyas Godfrey, a military expert at the Royal United Services Institute.
