Three journalists were also arrested in Afghanistan's capital, Kabul.

Security forces in Afghanistan have arrested several women as protests continue against the new ban by the Taliban on women attending universities. Our BBC Afghan reporter joins us to talk through what's been happening. 

We also play a conversation, recorded before the announcement, between three women who have been on the programme in the past. One is in Afghanistan and two are in Europe. They tell us what they've been up to since we last heard from them.

And we hear the thoughts of Israelis and Palestinians on Benjamin Netanyahu's new government. It's seen as the most right-wing ever agreed in Israel's history.
