As Taliban threats loom on the imminent elections in Afghanistan, author Noah Coburn discusses the huge economic and political challenges facing the future president. As hundreds of Cambodian garment workers are taken ill, we ask if it is poor factory ventilation or simply lack of basic food that is to blame.
