Watch part two

Barack Obama, the US president, was elected more than a year ago. But is his agenda, particularly on Iran, really being driven by the same cast of characters or the so-called "Shadow Elite" who pushed for war with Iraq?

On Wednesday's show we talk to Janine Wedel,  the author of Shadow Elite: How the World's New Power Brokers Undermine Democracy, Government, and the Free Market, and Michael Lind, the policy director of the Economic Growth Program at the New America Foundation. 

This episode of the Riz Khan show can be seen live on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, at 2030GMT with repeats on Thursday at 0030GMT, 0530GMT and 1130GMT.
