Afghanistan's female judges

BBC OS gives a vibrant account of the day’s events with explanation and reaction from those involved.

We continue to look at life under the Taliban in Afghanistan, today focusing on judges and banks. We hear about the female former judges who are now in fear of the men they once convicted. And we talk about warnings the banking system is close to collapse.

Our regular medical expert Dr Isaac Bogoch in Toronto discusses the latest news on the coronavirus pandemic.

And we play you an interview with a Nigerian pastor who has been helping to negotiate with kidnappers who took more than 100 students from the local school. His own son managed to escape.
