Afghans are giving their hungry children medicines to sedate them - others have sold their daughters and organs to survive. In the second winter since the Taliban took over and foreign funds were frozen, millions are a step away from famine, the 大象传媒's Yogita Limaye reports.

Also in the programme: Dozens of Brazilian women have found themselves scammed, paying for luxury holidays from a man whose Instagram account sparkles with opulent hotels and exotic locations, only to find out they'd been swindled.
