In this new Divided States episode, US Correspondent Mark Stone reflects on a remarkable week for US foreign policy.

It’s been the most extraordinary week for Afghanistan, for Joe Biden and for America’s allies. Why was there such chaos in Kabul? How will this Taliban takeover play out – on the ground and in the White House? Can President Biden recover from this?

In this episode, US Correspondent Mark Stone speaks to Charity Wallace – former chief of staff to First Lady Laura Bush – about the potentially catastrophic impact the US withdrawal will have on Afghanistan’s women and girls. He also chats to Charles Lister, counter-terrorism and foreign policy expert at the Middle East Institute, about the impact Mr Biden’s decision making is having in the US and across the world.
