Afghanistan: People who fled

As the Taliban continues its takeover of Afghanistan, we speak to those who managed to flee the country, and those who are trying. We also hear what Iran, one of the countries bordering Afghanistan, is doing to help Afghan refugees.

Also, we answer your questions about the coronavirus pandemic and go through some of the main headlines of the day. Today's expert is Dr Maria Sundaram, infectious disease epidemiologist at ICES Ontario in Toronto. If you want to send us a question, you can WhatsApp the team on +447730751925.

And we get the latest from Haiti, where at least 1,941 people are known to have died in a powerful earthquake. Rescue workers are continuing to pull people alive from rubble but many are still missing.
