Afghanistan's Panjshir Valley

We speak to people from the Panjshir Valley which is the focus of resistance against the Taliban. Several thousand fighters are thought to be holding out there against the militant group. We'll hear what the place is like, what the people are like, what they're proud of in their history and how they feel about the current situation in Afghanistan.

After the US Supreme Court refused to block the law that effectively bans abortion in Texas, we’ll hear how the ban will affect women.

And we'll be joined by Dr Emma Hodcroft, molecular epidemiologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland, who will answer audience questions about the coronavirus pandemic.
