BBC World Service - BBC OS, OS Conversations: Women in Afghanistan

Afghan women discuss their future and that of their country

As fighting continues in Afghanistan between Taliban and government forces, we hear Afghan women discuss how they see their future and that of their country.  We also hear the latest on the conflict from our BBC correspondent and we take a look at the recent history that has seen Afghanistan return to internal conflict. 

We catch up on the story of Princess Latifa, the daughter of the ruler of Dubai.  In footage earlier this year she said she was being held captive by her father, she is now said to be in Iceland.  Our regional analyst has the latest.

And as Lionel Messi leaves Barcelona to join Paris St Germain, we hear fans from each club discuss the move.
