Afghan diaspora fearful for the future

Newsday

Available for over a year

President Biden has called the chaos in Afghanistan unavoidable after the withdrawal of US troops - we get a first hand account about scenes at Kabul's airport and talk to a refugee in the UK about her fears over the Taliban taking over. We have a powerful report from Haiti hearing about those hit hard by Saturday's earthquake - at least two thousand people have lost their lives. Wildfires are raging in various parts of the world right now - from the Mediterranean to the US - these happen every year but what's behind their fierce nature this time round?
