Hello. Today we're in Israel where the status quo at Jerusalem's holiest site is under threat from Israeli nationalists.

Eight months after Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica, we hear how locals and the land are recovering.

In Thailand, we meet the people working to counter one of the country's biggest public health hazards, snake bites.

And finally, we venture into Moscow's comedy clubs, where political satire has become a careful

balancing act. But first to Afghanistan, where women are facing ever tighter restrictions

in almost every aspect of public life.

Just a few weeks ago in the country's third-largest city, Herat,

several women were detained by Taliban Morality Police for alleged improper wearing of the hijab.

A rare protest followed, but these were quickly squashed,

leaving at least two people dead,

according to reports, with many more injured.

With this increasing encroachment on freedoms, it's become more and more difficult for women

across the country to pursue a career or an education.

Yogita Le Maia has been in Afghanistan, where she spoke to a young woman determined to keep her dreams alive.

When I met her in Kabul, the 19-year-old woman who we're calling Alia was clutching an English grammar textbook, memorizing lines from it.

I can't tell you her real name because she fears reprisal from the Taliban government

for speaking out against their ban on female education. We had to meet Alia at a discreet location

because going to her home might have attracted unwanted attention. Alia is enrolled in a short-term

English language course in Kabul. Private classes like this still continue

for women and girls slipping through the cracks of Taliban tictarts. For her, the course was both,

a fragile link to the life she led before the Taliban seized power five years ago, and an excuse

to stay away from home where she fears being pressurized into marriage by her family.
