Taliban describes new government as diverse

Newsday

Available for over a year

Deaths at a protest of mostly women in Afghanistan on the first day of a Taliban government - we hear from a former Minister of Women's Affairs who has now left the country. The US Secretary of State is about to talk to more than 20 nations who have a stake in relocating and settling Afghans…. so how much goodwill is there internationally? We'll look at the impact the aftermath of the coup in Guinea has had on the global bauxite trade and the knock on rise in aluminium prices in our business news. And a Bitcoin millionaire has built a phone and filled it with software that he promises is the ultimate "free speech" tool, we'll hear from him.
