We change the wind direction, We bring the winds down from the northWest, and so things are going to feel very different. Temperatures, if anything, looks set to drop back to values below the average for the time of year, and it will still be quite unsettled. ShoWers or longer spells of rain and often breezy. Welcome to hardtalk. Im stephen sackur. To be female in afghanistan is to be condemned to a life without visibility, agency or rights. The Taliban Regime requires women to conceal their faces, bodies, even their voices in public. They must never look at a man outside theirfamily, nor ever sing or read aloud.

Our middle east regional editor mike thomson has more on the prime minister s comments from jerusalem. Tonight, mr netanyahu doubled down on his insistence that israeli troops will not be withdrawn from the philadelphi corridor. That is the strip of land that separates southern gaza from egypt. He said it is absolutely vital that they stay there to stop hamas smuggling weapons from egypt into gaza. He said, if we let this happen, we could have another october the 7th all over again.
