US poised to impose sanctions on Russia

BBC World Service - Newsday, US poised to impose sanctions on Russia

These would target more than 30 Russian entities

The move would be retaliation for cyber-attacks aimed at the US, including alleged interference in the 2020 presidential elections.

America prepares to announce sanctions against Russia for meddling in the US election and for its role in Ukraine. We hear from Kiev on the build-up of Russian troops at the border. 

Also as the US plans to withdraw its military from Afghanistan, a BBC reporter visits a Taleban controlled area and asks locals whether life has changed. 

And we hear about the strike by doctors at a major hospital in Sierra Leone after one of the physicians there was assaulted by senior officials.
