Two weeks after the Taliban entered the Afghan capital, Kabul, and took control of the country, the group says talks are still underway on forming a new government. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has warned another attack on Kabul airport is highly likely.

Also in the programme: weather forecasters in the United States have upgraded Hurricane Ida to a category four storm; and an apparent missile and drone attack by Houthi rebels has killed at least thirty pro-government soldiers in southern Yemen.
