Afghan interpreters

We hear from two interpreters desperate to leave Afghanistan

As we continue to cover the situation in Afghanistan - thousands of people are still trying to leave the country following the Taliban's takeover. Western countries are continuing to evacuate Afghans who worked for them over the years. But not everyone can leave quickly. We hear from two Afghan interpreters who are still in the capital Kabul, in fear for their lives and desperate to leave the country.

We’ll also get your coronavirus questions answered by our regular medical expert, Dr Helen Wimalarathna, a Molecular Epidemiologist at the University of Buckingham in the UK.

And we go to Haiti. It's been five days since the devastating earthquake hit the Caribbean island. We hear from the decimated village of Marceline where people have been left to fend for themselves and the injured people have no medical help.
