Kabul airport bomb attack

Newsday

Available for over a year

We take a deep look at the crisis in Afghanistan, as an attack on the crowds gathered at the airport in Kabul kills dozens of people. We'll put a Democrat congressman on the spot about America's hasty withdrawal, what questions President Biden must answer, and what this all says about America's role in the world. And we'll follow an Afghan woman - a prominent journalist, former MP and campaigner for women’s rights - as she attempts to leave the country.
