BBC World Service - Weekend, Pakistan's spy chief in Kabul

What is Pakistan's head of intelligence trying to achieve by visiting Afghanistan?

As fighting continues in the Afghan Panjshir Valley between the Taliban and the resistance, Pakistan's intelligence chief visits Kabul.

Plus, Formula One motor racing returns to the Netherlands after 36 years' absence. But environmental campaigners are expected to protest against today's Dutch Grand Prix.

Also, we discuss Abba's new songs which have raced to the top of the streaming charts.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Eric Albert, London correspondent for the French Le Monde newspaper, and Diana Menham, Lebanese economist, public policy expert, and managing director of an organisation campaigning for political reform in Lebanon.
