UN says latest Taliban move violates fundamental rights.

The United Nations says it is profoundly concerned that women will be banned from working for non-governmental organisations in Afghanistan. An urgent meeting of the organisation's Humanitarian Country Team is due to take place today.

Also in the programme: We look at how Russia's war in Ukraine could develop in the next year; and we hear from Hollywood director, Ron Howard.
