Fresh violence has erupted in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on the eve of the country's presidential election.

On Tuesday more than 20 people were killed in attacks across the country, including a suicide blast in Kabul.

The Afghan government has called for a media black-out on violence on the day of the presidential election in case reports scare away voters.

Ian Pannell reports from Kabul.
