Afghan sportswomen who left

We hear from three young Afghan sportswomen in exile.

As we continue to look at life in Afghanistan under the Taliban, we bring a conversation with three young sportswomen - a cricketer, a footballer and a mountain climber – who all have had to leave Afghanistan to pursue their sporting careers.

The Ukrainian police chief has been appointed acting interior minister following the death of the incumbent in a helicopter crash in the Kyiv suburbs. At least 14 people died in the crash. Our reporters explain what happened and how they reported on the incident.

We look back at the life of Lucile Randon, the world’s oldest person who has died aged 118. She’s said she enjoyed a glass of wine every day. We hear audience messages about secrets to old age.

We also hear messages from tennis fans on Rafael Nadal; the defending champion at the Australian Open has been knocked out in round two.
