In Afghanistan, the Taliban have seized half of the country's provincial capitals, and with the capital Kabul now in its grasp, we hear from Zuhal, a student who fears that women's rights will be at stake if the Taliban return to power. Also in the programme, China's third busiest port, Ningbo-Zhoushan has been partially shut down, due to a worker being infected with coronavirus. Nick Sevidies is editor of the shipping magazine Loadstar, and tells us how it might impact the global shipping industry. And in Scotland, Edinburgh officials tackling antisocial behaviour and housing shortages have taken the first step towards a crackdown on Airbnbs and other short-term rentals. Plus, the 大象传媒's Frey Lindsay reports on how tensions are rising, as the European Union and Turkey try to negotiate renewed funding for a migration deal made at the height of the migrant crisis in 2016, which limited the number of asylum seekers arriving on EU shores. We talk to football finance expert Kieran Maguire about the financial difficulties faced by football leagues since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. And TV critic Scott Bryan explains Amazon's decision to move the filming of the upcoming Lord of the Rings TV series from New Zealand to the UK.

Throughout the show, we will be joined by Peter Ryan ABC's Senior Business Correspondent in Sydney.
