BBC World Service - Weekend, Prospects for Afghanistan's future in Doha

Peace talks for Afghanistan take place in Doha

Peace talks for Afghanistan take place in Doha.

Senior Afghan leaders are in Doha to meet Taliban representatives, in an effort to speed up peace talks.

Also, President Joe Biden accuses social media companies like Facebook of killing people by allowing misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic on their platforms.

Plus, 'London Calling', a smashed guitar, and the best rock n'roll photo of all time.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Lina Khatib, director of the Middle East and North Africa programme at the Chatham House international affairs think tank in London; and Koichi Nakano, Professor of Political Science at Sophia University in Tokyo.
