China has promised $1.6million in aid to the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan (this after receiving criticism for their initial pledge of only $200,000). Jane Perlez, chief diplomatic correspondent in the Beijing bureau of The New York Times, discusses the effort on the part of China and what it means about their role in the region and as a global superpower.

Steve Clemons, director of the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation, and the man behind the popular political blog "The Washington Note," discusses the latest in Afghanistan policy, and how the looming deadline is making both the left and right nervous. Plus, New York Times chief Pakistan correspondent, Jane Perlez, discusses the secret military field reports recently made public by Wikileaks.

For geographic, political and strategic reasons, Pakistan has been a key player in the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan. However, new military documents leaked by Wikileaks.org and published by The New York Times have raised the question: just whose side is Pakistan's intelligence agency on?
