BBC World Service - BBC OS, More protests in Afghanistan

Dozens of Afghan women have marched through Kabul and in the north- eastern Badakhshan province to protest the announcement of an interim Taliban government with no female representatives. Some of their chants were reportedly targeting Pakistan and its perceived role in supporting the Taliban. We hear from some of the protesters and also get a view from Pakistan.

We have the latest on France's biggest ever terrorism trial, and hear from some of the people who were in Paris when the 2015 attacks took place.

We speak to one of our regular coronavirus experts Dr Pedro Hallal, an epidemiologist from the Federal University of Pelotas in the south of Brazil.

And we go to Mexico, where the Supreme Court has ruled that criminal penalties for terminating pregnancies are unconstitutional.
