British paratroopers rescue

Newsday

Available for over a year

We hear from an Afghan special forces officer who says British paratroopers took the law into their own hands to rescue their Afghan colleagues from almost certain death at the hands of the Taliban. We'll go to India to hear about the effects of a deadly virus - and no, it's not Covid. And in Tunisia a political crisis rumbles on - but many are more concerned about the economy and the lack of jobs.
