Episode description

In Summer 2021 the eyes of the world were on Afghanistan as the West's 20-year mission came to an end. This winter the situation for ordinary Afghans is dire, and the Times and Sunday Times have partnered with Afghanaid for our 2022 Christmas appeal.


Patrick Maguire speaks to Times diplomatic correspondent Catherine Philp, former Afghan MP Fawzia Koofi and Afghanaid's Charles Davy.


Plus columnists Manveen Rana and Kenny Farquharson discuss the politics of opening a new coal mine, SNP unity and the news that Rachel Reeves sends 3,200 Christmas cards every year.
