Sam Rainsy: Has Cambodia's opposition been outfoxed?

Stephen Sackur speaks to exiled Cambodian opposition leader Sam Rainsy. He has tried and failed to engineer the downfall of the country's ruler, Hun Sen, for decades. Now Hun Sen’s son is taking over. Few in Cambodia expect anything significant to change, including the relative impotence of the opposition. Has Sam Rainsy been comprehensively outmanoeuvred?

Ali Asghar Soltanieh - Iran's ambassador, International Atomic Energy Agency

Katya Adler talks to Dr Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's ambassador to the UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA.Iran's nuclear power programme has been a source of international tension for the past decade. At no point has it been able to shrug off the suspicion that its pursuit of nuclear energy is also an effort to make nuclear weapons. Iran insists it has no such ambitions but many of the world's major powers remain unconvinced and Israel is warning it will attack. The international community is seeking assurances from Iran at a fresh round of talks in Moscow later this month. Katya Adler asks Dr Ali Asghar Soltanieh what guarantees Iran will give that its nuclear ambitions are entirely peaceful.(Image: Iranian Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali Asghar Soltanieh.

Paul McKeever - Chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales

HARDtalk's Katya Adler speaks to the chairman of the Police Federation in England and Wales, Paul McKeever. The police in Britain, used to being revered, respected and admired at home and abroad, find themselves under a heavy black cloud. With allegations of bribery and corruption denting the public's trust, the force now also faces dramatic cuts to its budget and changes to its structure. Paul McKeever, himself a long-serving officer, says proposed government reforms could lead to the destruction of the police as we know it. But with the force untouched by change for decades, is now not an ideal opportunity to shape up for the challenges of the 21st century?(Image: Paul McKeever in 2011 Credit: Getty Images)

Sir Tim Rice - Lyricist, writer and composer

Sir Tim Rice - Lyricist, writer and composer

Even if you have not seen his shows, you will have heard his songs. For works such as Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar and The Lion King, Sir Tim Rice is regarded as one of the greatest lyricists of his generation. After a break from songwriting which lasted ten years, he is completing a new work, so what tempted him back? Why are there so few truly original musicals nowadays and why has he made it clear that he is very unlikely to work with his one time collaborator Andrew Lloyd Webber ever again?(Image: Lyricist, writer and composer Sir Tim Rice's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, California.

Paul Krugman - Nobel Prize Winner for Economics, 2008

We are in a depression - unemployment at levels last seen during the thirties, an economic crisis in the Eurozone and the prospect of worse to come. But the Nobel Prize Winning economist Paul Krugman, thinks none of this needs to be happening and that America and Europe should be richer than they were five years ago - even now it wouldn't take much to solve the problem. He thinks what debt-ridden governments should be doing is borrowing more to spend their way out of trouble.(Image: Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman. Credit: Reuters)

Bruce Dickinson - Singer, Iron Maiden

Bruce Dickinson - Singer, Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden is one of the most successful heavy metal bands ever. They have sold more than 80 million albums and are renowned for their live shows - tickets for which they say sell faster now than at any point in their 30 years as a band. Sarah Montague speaks to the band's lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, the only member of the band who has lopped off the long, 'hard rocking' hair. And that is because of his dual life. For when he is not on stage performing in front of thousands he can often be found in a cockpit. He is a commercial pilot who has now set up his own aviation business. So how can you mix the hard rock lifestyle of a metal-head with the clean living required of a pilot and entrepreneur?
