The Nepalese Gurkhas have long played an important role in the British army, fighting in wars across the globe alongside Britain. Now the Gurkhas face a new battle - this time with the British government, in a quest to settle in the country they have supported for so long. One woman who has been fighting on their behalf is actress Joanna Lumley. Plus, an alleged military mutiny took place in Georgia this week. It was reported that a rogue tank battalion intended to disrupt the Nato military exercises being held nearby. Tbilisi has accused Russia of being behind the rebellion but Moscow has dismissed these claims as delusional. Sir David is joined by Donald MacLaren, a former UK ambassador to Georgia, to find out what is going on.
