What next for female Afghan students?

Predominantly Muslim countries - including Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and the Gulf states - have criticised the decision by the Taliban government in Afghanistan to stop women attending universities. The Saudi foreign ministry said Afghanistan should abide by Islamic principles regarding women's rights.

Also in the programme, reflections on two big stories of the past week: Benin Bronzes returned to Nigeria; and Argentina celebrate World Cup win.
