BBC World Service - BBC OS, Afghanistan: Female football players

We hear how sportswomen in Afghanistan are feeling following the Taliban's takeover

We speak to Afghan sportswomen as they reflect on the Taliban's takeover of their country. Two footballers, a former captain and the current captain of the women's national football team, discuss the future of women's sport in Afghanistan.

Also, we hear about the concerns among ethnic minorities in Afghanistan, after reports of an attack by the Taliban on members of the Hazara community. We also bring the latest on reports of the Taliban searching for people who worked for foreign forces.

And we continue to look at the impact of the pandemic around the world and speak to people who work in tourism on the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe -both hit hard by Covid-19.
