George Bush's Coalition Against Terrorism didn't have any better ideas, so their blood-stained misrule from 1992-96 - when warlords jostled for power and in-fighting left tens of thousands dead - was forgotten.

The American bombardment of Afghanistan and the subsequent overthrow of the Taliban left a power vacuum that the United Front (aka the Northern Alliance) were all too eager to fill. George Bush's Coalition Against Terrorism didn't have any better ideas, so their blood-stained misrule from 1992-96 - when warlords jostled for power and in-fighting left tens of thousands dead - was forgotten. Now they form a large part of a NATO-approved interim government. But in today's Kabul, the Kalashnikov rules. Violent crime is on the rise once again. Can the United Front's former warlords bury their differences for long enough to achieve democratic rule? Award-winning reporter Phil Rees sounds a note of caution.

China, Mongolia, Uzbekistan and Russia were once strong allies in the Cold War. Now, rapid transformation is happening in these countries, as China's trillion dollar Belt and Road Initiative is about to transform the Eurasia corridor. Diplomatic ties between China and Russia are strengthening, based on a convergence of national interests, a similar view of the world order, and the need for an ally against the United States. Together, these superpowers form an impressive economic bloc, and a formidable military partnership. What does it mean for the rest of the world? Is it a stabilizing force for global geopolitics, or a scary alliance at risk of plunging the world back into the Cold War mentality of the 20th century? This brand new series of the Award-winning New Silk Road uncovers just what the Belt Road Initiative means for countries along the old cold war corridor. Episode 4 – Russia & China: Allies In A Constested World: From strengthening their defences, to dominating the arctic. Russia and China are ramping up cooperation in a variety of areas. Their hardening alliance has raised eyebrows around the world.
