Afghanistan: Taliban's first press conference

We'll cross live to Kabul where the Taliban is holding the first news conference since taking control of Afghanistan.

Our colleagues in India and Pakistan explain the reaction from the region and our expert will answer listener questions about the situation in Afghanistan.

Also, after US President Joe Biden defended his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, we speak to journalists there to hear the reaction in the US.
