US warns of militant attack in Afghanistan

US President Joe Biden has promised to "hunt down" anyone involved in Thursday's bombing by the Islamic State group. The attack killed 13 American troops at Kabul airport. We hear about what life is now like in Afghanistan, two weeks into the return of Taliban rule.

Also in the programme: we hear how Louisiana is preparing for Hurricane Ida; and we look ahead to upcoming German elections as the country prepares to elect a new chancellor.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary and Eunice Goes, a Portuguese-born professor of politics at Richmond University.
