Kabul evacuations resume

Many Afghans are still trying to leave Afghanistan, with intense scenes at Kabul airport. We hear from a young Afghan activist in Kabul who has been keeping a diary for Weekend about her experiences.

Also in the programme: we speak to one of the co-authors of a new book about Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny; and we hear about the surprising surge in sales of gin in Scotland.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are author Misha Glenny and Kate Clark, co-director of the research group Afghanistan Analysts Network.
