	Description:		Every new dawn in Afghanistan seems to bring with it a new Taliban edict against women. Tolo News – Afghanistan’s leading independent news channel – has been told by the Ministry of Virtue that its female presenters must cover their faces when anchoring. Tolo has a long history of success and sacrifice, with a display case in their bureau dedicated to two reporters killed in a bomb attack in 2018. Despite everything, it’s managed to stay on the air, and female staff play a leading role. But now their future is in jeopardy, as Christiane found out today when she visited their newsroom. Also on today's show: US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko, Afghanistan National Institute of Music founder Ahmad Naser Sarmast, Brown University Professor of Economics Emily Oster.
