Afghanistan: Kabul evacuations in final phase

Evacuation efforts are continuing at Kabul airport following yesterday's bomb attacks that killed at least 90 people and injured more than 150. Hospitals in Kabul, already struggling with fewer staff since the Taliban took power a week ago, have been overwhelmed with patients. We'll bring you the latest from the city and across Afghanistan.

Also, we'll speak to the woman who led a flag protest in defiance of Taliban forces who had just taken over Kabul. The protest raised the Afghan national flag on the country's independence day, pictures of this young woman protesting were shared around the world.

And every day we're joined by a health expert to answer listener questions on Covid-19 and the pandemic. Today our guest is Dr Megan Murray - Professor of global health at Harvard University.
