As we begin 2022, there are plenty of Afghans around the world who are looking ahead to a new year in a new country. Many of the people who left Afghanistan were women - fearing the erosion of their rights under the Taliban, which took over in August. We connect to two women - one in the US and one in Ukraine - to hear how they feel about their futures outside of Afghanistan.

Also, we bring you the latest on the situation in Sudan following the resignation of the Prime Minister, Abdalla Hamdok. Mr Hamdok stood down following mass protests. Thousands marched against a recent deal he had done to share power with the army, who staged a coup in October. We get reaction from people in Sudan and explain how the country got here.

And every day we are joined by a health expert to answer questions on coronavirus. Today our guest is Professor Manfred Green, a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology at the University of Haifa in Israel.
