Afghan election: half of ballot boxes undelivered

Presidential elections are held in Afghanistan on Saturday.

Election officials in Afghanistan say nearly half of ballot boxes are yet to be delivered to polling centres ahead of presidential elections on Saturday. We'll hear from young Afghan women in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. And one of our colleagues will also take us through his experience reporting undercover in Taliban controlled parts of Afghanistan.

We also hear from anti-government protesters in Egypt who got in touch with us over WhatsApp.

In Nigeria, nearly 500 men and boys have been rescued from a building where they were allegedly sexually abused and tortured. More details from our correspondent.
