Special Report: Humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan

Afghanistan has fallen from the world’s attention since the Taliban’s takeover and the chaotic American withdrawal nine months ago. But for almost everyone in the country, life has become a daily struggle against poverty. Children are particularly hard hit, with more than a million facing acute malnutrition according to UNICEF. Christiane witnessed all this firsthand, visiting a humanitarian distribution center, a hospital, and a family home. Following her special report, she's joined by the World Food Programme’s country director in Kabul. 

Also in today's show: Part two of Christiane's exclusive conversation with Taliban deputy leader and acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, in which she presses him on women’s rights and whether the Taliban will commit to a more inclusive government and future elections; an Afghan women's rights activist; and former FBI special agent and domestic terrorism expert Tom O'Connor.
