Being a Journalist in Afghanistan

What's it like to be a local journalist in Afghanistan?

Nine journalists were among at least 25 people killed in twin bombings in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Monday. One BBC journalist was also killed in a separate incident in the eastern province of Khost. What is life like as a local journalist in the country? We will speak to two freelance reporters who are based in Afghanistan. Also, Armenia is set to decide whether to back opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan as prime minister as his supporters rally in the capital. A local journalist will give us the latest. And why is a high school student's prom dress controversial? BBC Trending will talk us through it.
