Ten years after the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, president Hamid Karzai says that his government and international forces have failed to provide security to his people. In the United States, new unemployment figures are better than expected. Unemployment is still high, at 9.1%, but is this an early sign of recovery? Three women - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, both from Liberia, and Tawakkul Karman, of Yemen - have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What difference does the Nobel make to those who receive it and the cause they champion? The World Tonight, with David Eades.
