UN warning on Afghanistan

Newsday

Available for over a year

A stark message from the UN describing the situation unfolding in Afghanistan as a "humanitarian catastrophe". We'll have the latest from South Africa: can 25 thousand troops out on the streets put an end to the looting and restore order ? We'll hear about a new treatment which may help those who found themselves on ventilators as a result of Covid from suffering permanent damage to their lungs.
