On Saturday Australian reporter Yalda Hakim will present a BBC World News report on Afghanistan’s Tolo Television, which was the target of a Taliban suicide bomber.

The Kabul headquarters of Afghanistan’s Tolo Television is a young and energetic place. Its staff work on daily news and some of the most-watched programmes in the country like Afghan Star. But the station’s reach and prominence carries a deadly risk. In January a Taliban suicide bomber blew up a bus carrying Tolo employees home. Seven of them died. Yalda Hakim is in Kabul with the station’s staff to hear them talk about life, and making television, in a country at war.

Saturday April 30 at 9.30am & 9.30pm on BBC World News.
