It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people.
Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war.
But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren’t allowed to go to university.
Public parks are also off limits to women – and they can’t travel abroad without a male companion.

As it approaches the six-month anniversary of the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran, we analyse the strategically important developments with the Strait of Hormuz, and ordinary citizens from across the US describe the impact on their lives as gas prices increase.
Meanwhile, what of life inside Iran? With the announcement of a new internal security chief this month – we reflect on his past record and the report from a human rights organisation that so far this year, Iran has executed 500 of its own people.

Just out of curiosity: Why do they use planes instead of helicopters? Would't it be easier and cheaper? The only reason i can think of is that planes are faster.

Fire suppression needs to stop, it isn’t healthy for the forests and makes more destructive fires inevitable. Fire is natural

Ok now if that’s true that the same physical standard is applied across the board no matter gender then that’s awesome and sad at the same time because if that’s what it takes to be a smoke jumper then you think our military would have those same high standard of having the same physical standards across board but they don’t
