Evacuations continue as tension intensifies in Kabul

The UNHCR has called on all neighbouring countries to keep their borders open to Afghan refugees. A few countries have offered to provide temporary shelter for Afghans heading to the United States. One of those countries is Kosovo; we hear from their President Vjosa Osmani.

Also in the programme: we hear from an Afghan journalist about what the future holds for the country; and we speak to a doctor in Kabul working for the International Committee of the Red Cross.

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.
