Afghanistan president establishes anti-corruption agency
Updated
Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has established a new anti-corruption unit, ahead of his swearing-in on Thursday.
Analysts say he'll have to work hard in his second five-year term in office, if he's to restore shattered faith abroad in his leadership. Once lauded by the international community, Mr Karzai's first term was marred by deteriorating security and endemic corruption. He is also still trying to leave behind the damage done to his reputation of fraud allegations that surrounded August's presidential election.
Presenter: Joanna McCarthy
