Afghanistan: Chaos at Kabul airport

Several people have reportedly been killed as Afghans flee after the Taliban's takeover

We get the latest from Afghanistan, where there has been chaos at Kabul airport as people try to flee the capital following the Taliban's takeover. We hear from people in Kabul and get an update from our reporter who has been speaking to a Taliban representative in Doha. We will also speak to Afghans outside the country, who are staying in contact with their family members in Afghanistan, to find out how they are seeing the situation.

Also, in Haiti more than 1,200 people have died after Saturday's earthquake and an unknown number of people are missing. We get the latest on what is happening on the ground.

And Dr Eleanor Murray, from Boston University, will talk us through some of the latest developments with Covid-19 and answer questions sent in by listeners.
