On Friday, Washington hosts a meeting of the Quartet – representing the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia – to follow up on the "road map" to peace between the Palestinians and Israelis.

On Thursday's Riz Khan show, Riz hosts two former advisers to the Palestinian and Israeli governments to get their candid views on the "road map", and whether we should expect any progress in the near-term future.

Later in the show, Riz speaks with Judea Pearl, the father of Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped in Pakistan and killed five years ago as he investigated links between Pakistani intelligence and Al-Qaeda.

The elder Pearl will discuss his efforts to create a Muslim-Jewish dialogue and other activities of the foundation he created for his son, the Daniel Pearl Foundation.
