National holiday declared in Afghanistan

BBC World Service - Newsday, National holiday declared in Afghanistan

The Taliban mark one year since they seized power

One year anniversary is being marked against the backdrop of a worsening humanitarian crisis and continuing concerns about the rights of women and girls

The Taliban have declared a national holiday in Afghanistan to mark one year since they seized power. New flags in the group's black and white colours are flying in the main square in the capital, Kabul.

A forest fire that flared anew in southern France has sent more people fleeing while overnight rain brought blazes elsewhere in the country under control.

And five days after Kenya's election, it is still uncertain who the next president will be.
