Afghanistan protests

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets across Afghanistan on Tuesday to denounce Taliban rule and demand women's rights. Videos have emerged of Taliban fighters breaking up a demonstration in the capital, Kabul, by firing warning shots into the air. The protest was the biggest show of defiance since the Taliban took power. We hear from women who took part in the protests, and get the latest developments from our reporter on the ground.

And we hear a conversation between nurses in Florida who are continuing to treat patients suffering from Covid-19 as cases in the state continue to grow at an increasing rate.

Also, we are joined by Dr Isaac Bogosh, an infectious diseases physician and scientist at the University of Toronto who will answer listener's questions about the coronavirus pandemic. Audio questions can be submitted via WhatsApp to +447730 751925.
