BBC World Service - BBC OS, Afghanistan: Afghans outside the country

We speak to Afghans outside the country to find out how they are seeing the situation

We get the latest from Afghanistan, where there has been chaos at Kabul airport as people try to flee the capital following the Taliban's takeover. We hear from people in Kabul and speak to our reporters in the US, China and Russia for more reaction to the situation. We will also speak to Afghans outside the country, who are staying in contact with their family members in Afghanistan, to find out how they are seeing the situation.

Also, in Haiti more than 1,200 people have died after Saturday's earthquake and an unknown number of people are missing. We get the latest on what is happening on the ground.

And Professor Manfred Green from the University of Haifa in Israel will talk us through some of the latest developments with Covid-19 and answer questions sent in by listeners.
