Two teenagers make US Open final

Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez will play on Saturday

Two teenagers - Britain's Emma Raducanu and Canada's Leylah Fernandez - have made it to the US Open final. We'll hear reaction to the news from young tennis fans.

Also, we return to Afghanistan and find out about daily life now that the Taliban is in charge. People living across the country tell us their experiences of food shortages and a worsening economy. We also check back in with a young woman who has been waiting 11 days for a flight out of Mazar-I-Sharif in the north of Afghanistan. Dozens of international passengers have flown out of Kabul in the first such flight since US forces left the country.

And today's health expert, professor Marc Mendelson from the University of Cape Town, will answer audience questions about the coronavirus pandemic. If you have something you would like to ask, send us a message on WhatsApp +447730 751925.
