Afghans left reeling after deadly earthquake

ACCESS ASIA © FRANCE 24

The devastating earthquake that hit south-eastern Afghanistan on June 22 has caused immeasurable damage. With over a thousand people killed and tens of thousands now homeless, daily life will be even harder in a country that was already suffering from a humanitarian crisis following the Taliban's return to power. International aid is trickling in, but longer-term help is needed. Our regional correspondents Shahzaib Wahlah and Sonia Ghezali report.

Also, FRANCE 24's Nicholas Rushworth takes a look at how the 25th anniversary of the Hong Kong handover is being portrayed in the Chinese press.

Plus we discover the young Pakistani-Canadian actress taking on the role of Kamala Khan, one of the first Muslim heroes of the Marvel universe.
