BBC news bulletins forced off-air in Afghanistan by Taliban
The broadcaster said their TV news bulletin in Pashto, Persian and Uzbek had been forced off air

The BBCās TV news bulletins have been taken off-air in Afghanistan after the Taliban āordered our TV partners to remove international broadcasters from their airwavesā.
The corporation has called on the Taliban to āreverse their decisionā, claiming the service reaches six million Afghans weekly.
The Taliban were ousted in 2001 by a US-led coalition, but swept back into power last August following Americaās chaotic end to 20 years of war in Afghanistan.
On Sunday, the BBC announced its TV news bulletin in Pashto, Persian and Uzbek had been taken off-air in Afghanistan following a Taliban order.
Tarik Kafala, head of languages, BBC World Service, said: āThis is a worrying development at a time of uncertainty and turbulence for the people of Afghanistan.
āMore than six million Afghans consume the BBCās independent and impartial journalism on TV every week and it is crucial they are not denied access to it in the future.
āWe call on the Taliban to reverse their decision and allow our TV partners to return the BBCās news bulletins to their airwaves immediately.ā
