A new government seen as the most right-wing in Israel's history has been agreed, sealing Benjamin Netanyahu's return to power. His coalition contains far-right parties, including one whose leader was once convicted of anti-Arab racism. Our correspondent gives us the latest on the story. We also hear the thoughts of Israelis and Palestinians on the new government.

Also, security forces in Afghanistan have arrested several women as protests continue against the new ban by the Taliban on women attending universities. Our 麻豆社 Afghan reporter joins us to talk through what's been happening.

And we play a conversation, recorded before the announcement, between three women who have been on the programme in the past. One is in Afghanistan and two are in Europe. They tell us what they've been up to since we last heard from them.
