Afghanistan requests aid after earthquake
Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service
Will Western reluctance to support the Taliban government shift to help Afghans suffering after a devastating earthquake? We'll hear from a Taliban spokesman about what they need in the aftermath of the quake. Also in the programme: Saudi Arabia's crown prince is in Turkey for the first time since the brutal killing of the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi four years ago; and a sister's plea for help as her brother faces the death penalty over his involvement in the war in Ukraine.
