Thousands of Afghan children have received polio vaccinations after the Taliban movement agreed to allow health workers to operate safely in the south, the United Nations children's fund said. ...
In the past, health workers have been abducted in the region, which has has seen the heaviest fighting between the Taliban and international forces.
UPDATE: I missed a lot of it, but Four Corners last night looked interesting, being all about Afghanistan and the continuing pretty dire way most women are treated there, even when not under Taliban control. Still, there were some optimistic signs of revival of girls' education again, for example.
I still have trouble getting my mind around the concept that the Taliban are happy to kill teachers who dare to educate girls, though.
