    Four years after the Taliban's return to power, Afghanistan remains in the shadow of that chaotic August day in 2021 when US troops finally withdrew, ending two decades of war. The images from Kabul's airport are still etched in global memory, as crowds of desperate Afghans clung to departing planes as the US backed government collapsed and the Taliban took full control. Since then, the country is going through a deepening economic crisis and the end of an active conflict. All of this has been worsened by US aid cuts ordered by President Trump's administration. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher explores what Afghanistan looks like today and examines the impact of America's policies on its people. She speaks to CNN's International Correspondent Isobel Yeung who was in Afghanistan recently to investigate this, and Sulaiman bin Shah, the former deputy minister of commerce who is currently in Kabul.

    The Soviet-Afghan War is over, but for both countries, the struggle has only begun. The Soviet Union begins to crumble, a collapse that is not inevitable or predictable, as the world watches in disbelief. But the world isn't watching Afghanistan, which descends into civil war, anarchy, and violence. The rise of the Taliban, al-Qa'eda, and the road to 9/11 are foreseen by nobody, and no one is trying to stop them - except for one man. And his tragedy might be the saddest chapter of this unlucky country called Afghanistan.Sources: https://www.unknownsoldierspodcast.com/post/the-soviet-afghan-war-series-maps-and-sourcesAudible Recommendation: https://www.audible.com/pd/Return-of-a-King-Audiobook/1526640767?source_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdpMusic:Winter Waltz by Scott Buckley | www.scottbuckley.com.auMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Jihad" by LynnePublishing via Pond5.comPathfinder by Scott Buckley | https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckleyMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Desert City Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Jalandhar Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/

The market fell sharply on Wednesday - as semiconductor stocks tumbled after U-S President Donald Trump announced that he will announce new tariffs on chips within the next week or so. NGO says migrant workers facing fraud but reluctant to report it The TransAsia Sisters Association says migrant workers in Taiwan are facing many types of fraud - but the cases are going underreported because of language barriers and other factors. According to the association, it has identified several potential problems in the effort to fight scams against migrants through interviews over the past year with mainly migrant workers and a small proportion (部分) of foreign spouses. The association says around 30-per cent of interviewees had experienced financial fraud, but that only a third of them reported their cases to authorities. The group is attributing the reluctance to report fraud cases to police to a lack of readily available multilingual services at police stations. The Workforce Development Agency says migrant workers can use the 1955 hotline, which provides multilingual services, to help them identify potential fraud schemes .. .. and the hotline can contact third parties on behalf of workers to verify suspicious situations and report cases to local labor authorities.

UN Report on Taliban Weaponizing Law Against Women and Girls The independent U.N. investigator on human rights in Afghanistan says its Taliban rulers have “weaponized” the legal and judicial system to oppress women and girls in what amounts to “crimes against humanity." Richard Bennett said in a report to the U.N. General Assembly circulated Wednesday that after seizing power in 2021 the Taliban suspended the 2004 constitution and specific laws protecting the rights of women and girls. These include a landmark law that criminalized 22 forms of violence against women, including rape and child and forced marriage. The Taliban defend their approach to justice by claiming they are implementing Islamic sharia law, but Islamic scholars and others have said their interpretation is unparalleled (無與倫比的) in other Muslim-majority countries and does not adhere to Islamic teachings. Bennett urged all countries to support efforts to bring Afghanistan before the International Court of Justice, the U.N.'s highest tribunal.

    When is it right to stick to your role—and when do you need to step up and act, even outside your formal job description? Mike and Jim tackle the age-old advice to “stay in your lane” by examining what it truly means in high-stakes environments. From a cop showing up to a burning house to Marines turning wrenches one moment and picking up rifles the next, we break down how flexibility, judgment, and initiative can make the difference between failure and mission success. Drawing on real-world examples like the 2012 Taliban attack on Camp Bastion—where Marine pilots and maintainers dropped tools and returned fire—we ask: Is it always someone else's job, or do high-performing teams blur the lines when the stakes are high? This episode is about knowing your capabilities, understanding your limits, and recognizing when stepping outside your lane is not only appropriate—but necessary.

    I'm back with my second talk from the BGEA European Congress on Evangelism stage—this time sharing my interview with Oxford University apologist, Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing. From smuggling Bibles into Taliban-controlled Afghanistan as a student to boldly contradicting those who preach “love is love,” Amy knows firsthand what it takes to live with courageous obedience in a world that has grown increasingly contrary to the Gospel. After sharing some of her story, Amy and I dive into the challenges we as believers are called to face everyday—from postmodernism and militant atheism to the rise of identity politics. But even though the obstacles are real, Amy also offers hope: a new hunger for the truth of Scripture is emerging, especially among Gen Z. Amy invites us to see Jesus not as an ideology to be debated, but as a Savior who validates our longing for justice and meets us in our pain. This conversation should inspire us to stand in strength, speak the truth in love, and to prepare those coming up behind us to do the same.

    In this fiery discussion, the hosts celebrate Congress passing a $9 billion spending cut targeting programs like USAID, NPR, and PBS. They claim USAID has long operated as a rogue agency, funneling taxpayer money to the Taliban, Hamas, and other U.S. adversaries, funding terror training camps and opioid production. The speakers also accuse USAID's Global Engagement Center of using federal dollars to censor conservative media and suppress Trump's message online. They criticize politicians from Mitch McConnell to Barack Obama for defending the agency and predict more rescission bills are coming to rein in what they call a bastion of anti-American activism and corruption.

She argues that USAID has long functioned as a “power center” for the CIA, funneling taxpayer money to enemies like the Taliban and Hamas. The segment details how USAID allegedly propped up terror groups and opium production, contributing to American casualties abroad. Tara then shifts to a New York Times op-ed urging readers to stop ostracizing conservative relatives over COVID and Trump, reflecting on her own painful experiences of political shunning. She questions whether apologies will ever come and whether the country can heal its divisions. Listener texts pour in, sharing stories of fractured families and unexpected reconciliations.

A dataset containing the details of nearly 19,000 people who applied to move to the UK following the Taliban takeover was released in error by a British defence official in February 2022.
