International donors to send 280 million US dollars in aid to Afghanistan.

The World Bank has said that international donors have agreed to send $280 million in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan despite the Taliban's rule. 

Also on the programme: Filipino journalist Maria Ressa criticises internet firms for unleashing what she calls a "flood of toxic sludge" on social media during acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. And we speak to the Kenyan musician Willis Austin Chimano, who has come out as gay in a country where gay sex is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
