Afghanistan marks one year since Taliban took over.
The Taliban have declared a national holiday to mark one year since they seized power.
It has been one year since the Taliban took control in Afghanistan. The anniversary comes during a deepening economic and humanitarian crisis, with many men unable to find work to feed their families; and concerns about women and girls being excluded from work or formal education. Also on the show, we look at Kenya’s presidential election, where William Ruto has been named as the country's next president, amid some controversy. (Photo: Jack Garland)
