The German parliament is set to debate the government's new strategy for Afghanistan. The cabinet has approved sending in 850 additional soldiers to the country - bringing the total number of German troops there to more than 5 thousand three hundred. But their deployment has to be approved by parliament. Foreign minister Guido Westerwelle has been outlining their proposed mission in the Bundestag.
