Afghanistan’s economy has collapsed and up to eight million people are facing starvation.
Almost six months after the Taliban took power, BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson returns to the country for BBC Panorama. Afghanistan’s new masters face international isolation for links to terrorism and years of human rights abuses.

Afghanistan: A Country at Breaking Point is on BBC One at 7:30pm on 7 February 2022.
