BBC World Service - BBC OS, Some universities reopen for Afghan women

Students have returned to some public universities in Afghanistan

Students have been returning to public universities in Afghanistan for the first time since the Taliban seized power last year but women and men are being strictly segregated. We speak to our correspondent covering the story and hear from the women we've spoken to previously on the programme.

We explain what is known about Tuesday's coup attempt in Guinea-Bissau and speak to our reporter about concerns that military takeovers are again becoming more frequent in the continent. 

We also talk through the latest stories on the pandemic with one of our regular experts, Dr Maria Sundaram from Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin.

And we hear from two athletes who are representing Peru and Lebanon - the countries that are not traditionally associated with winter sports -  at the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
