Afghanistan: US-Taliban talks

Senior US officials are to hold their first face-to-face meetings with the Taliban since the militants
seized control of Afghanistan. We hear from a counter-terrorism expert on what this might achieve.

Also in the programme: Global leaders have signed up to the biggest corporate tax overhaul in a generation; and we speak to the French writer and philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy about his travels around the world -- during the global pandemic -- to report on human rights abuses for his new book.

Our panellists this week are Laurie Goering, editor of the Thomson Reuters Foundation's news website on the human impacts of climate change, and Silio Boccanera, a London-based correspondent for Brazilian television.
