Afghanistan: Girls excluded from school

We hear from a teenage girl in Afghanistan who is devastated she can't return to college

The Taliban have excluded girls from Afghan secondary schools, with only boys and male teachers allowed back into classrooms. Many fear a return of the regime of the 1990s when the Taliban severely restricted girls' and women's rights. We hear from one teenage girl who is devastated she can't continue her education.

We go to Russia where a gunman has killed at least six people at Perm University. Many others were injured during the shooting. We hear the latest from our correspondent and an eyewitness.

Our regular health expert, Dr Eleanor Murray assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health, discusses the day鈥檚 stories on the coronavirus pandemic.
