US Generals recommended staying in Afghanistan

BBC World Service - Newsday, US Generals recommended staying in Afghanistan

Testimony by the two Generals to Congress seemed to contradict President Joe Biden.

President Biden's assurances on Afghan policy are undercut by some of America's most senior generals - they say they wanted troops to stay.

Afghan's are dealing with the fallout of Biden's decision to withdraw, so Newsday hears from an Afghan woman desperate to leave the country.

Also on the way, we hear how much China's belt and road initiative is costing other countries in interest. Also in Asia, Japan's ruling party prepares to elect a leader - and new Prime Minister.

And Presidents Putin and Erdogan meet in Sochi - what will they be talking about?
