- Since re-establishing their grip on Afghanistan in 2021, the Taliban has broken many of their promises to uphold women's rights. In the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar, life for women has changed drastically.

Since the Taliban seized power, life has changed for women across Afghanistan. In the city of Kandahar, many women are now in prison. Shaima was imprisoned after fleeing an arranged marriage: 'I wanted to divorce my husband, because he is an old man. My brother forced me to marry him'. Meanwhile, women have been discouraged from leaving home. 'Some husbands don't let their wives go out one meter away from their house', explains Kandahar resident Spojmai. One couple in Kandahar tried to run a clandestine secondary school for girls - until they started to receive death threats: 'First I received a letter, then I received calls from unknown numbers'.

"We're different to ordinary Indonesians - we have different hair and skin colour. We're Melanesians", says Chief Theys, commonly called the 'Big Leader' of the independence movement. Indonesia has granted some concessions since the fall of Suharto two years ago - the name change from Irian Jaya to Papua, the right to raise their flag and to sing the national anthem - but Papuans aren't pacified. With one of the world's richest gold and copper mines, Papua is tied to Indonesia by wealth.

With only 1000 pandas left in the wild and 125 in captivity, researchers are trying to understand why adult pandas are becoming more sedentary and refusing to reproduce. Some suggest Viagra or "panda-rated" videos might help increase their desire. Meanwhile, artificial insemination may be the only way to avoid extinction.

Sandwiched into bulletproof vests, we join the police on their daily beat. They are the frontline against a Mexican crime wave that is the worst in living memory, and they’re ill equipped to deal with it. They risk their lives for just $200 per month, and with that they must buy all their own kit, from the shirts on their backs to the bullets in their guns. “The state pretends to pay properly and the police pretend to work properly, and it’s the public who suffer the consequences,” is the word from disillusioned ex-cops. Mexico’s finest are also seriously compromised by corruption. The head of a police investigation unit says he realised “…that I couldn’t trust the police chiefs.” For the straight policemen, the blight of corruption saps their m...

Troops are heavy on the ground, yet there is little left to defend. Buildings lie in charred ruins along the main shopping street, a now dangerous no-mans land between Muslim and Christian neighbours. The violence has left tens of thousands hardened and homeless. They live in sectarian sectors of the city under tarpaulin unable to return to the ruins of their homes. Ambon’s tragedy is baffling. Muslim leader Jusef Ely blames shadowy forces, perhaps rogue military officers, gangsters, even politicians in Jakarta for exploiting religious tensions. “Catch all the provocateurs, bring them to court and give them hard punishments,” is his solution.

As the shells rain down on Taloquan in north Afghanistan, Massoud and his mujaheddin run to return fire. But it's too late for the victims of the attack. The 55 dead, as so often, are civilians. As the gateway to the North, Taloquan is coveted by the warring parties. It remains one of the few areas which the Taliban have yet to conquer, in spite of a strong summer offensive. Massoud is still the best hope secular Afghans have of evicting the Taliban and well aware he needs to hang on to the area. As helicopters fly in tons of arms for Massoud's forces, the whisper is they're coming from Iran. Islamic fundamentalism lurks even in Massoud's supposedly secular territory.

In Australia, 250,000 people are missing; disproportionately, the missing are indigenous women. In 2014, an indigenous woman named Joan Anderson disappeared from the town of Mataranka. Her family feels the case received insufficient attention. 'Nobody kept looking. I don't know what they've been doing', says Joan's cousin Evelyn. In cases such as Joan's, some argue that the perception of Aboriginal women as 'itinerant' means their cases are not taken seriously: 'there is a large view that they just lead a very casual life and therefore have just taken off or gone walkabout', explains Dorinda Cox, a senator and indigenous woman.

Smoke and sweat mingle in the air as battle commences between thousands of men. In exact replica uniforms, real US men limp convincingly from the battlefield bearing their fake wounds. Veterans proudly talk of preserving the cultural heritage of the civil war. They dismiss the white supremacist stereotype levelled at them by black pressure groups incredulous that so many are keen to celebrate an era of slavery. As part of their attempt to hold back the 21st century they're campaigning against a road-widening scheme across one battleground. For these modern confederates their fight is to stop urban sprawl swallowing up their battlefield playgrounds.

Gold sustains 250,000 South African as it has sustained international economies - but not any longer. Gold has lost its mythical lustre as the unique store of value. With booming currencies and stocks, gold is no longer the most profitable way for central banks to hold reserves. At the East Rand goldmine this cold reality has hit. The rapt faces of miners contort in despair as union leaders announce the mine’s closure. Back in the gold fields, families gather to mourn the loss of 19 men in an underground gas explosion. Tragic as it is, the lives of these miners may be little compared to what the collapse of gold mining could do across South Africa.

On 1st October 1949 communist China was born, headed by Mao Zedong. 50 years later, while China had moved on greatly from Maoist principles, his legacy still looms large. ABC Australia speaks to those affected by China's so-called cultural revolution, a famous Mao programme in which almost 20 million young Chinese were sent to countryside to have a 'rural education'. While some have managed to thrive despite the policy, others are regretful that their education was squandered in favour of politics: "At that time we should have acquired knowledge but we weren't able to study so we didn't further our learning. I really regret this." An intriguing report on Mao's continuing presence in the everyday life of China, and the effect...
