Afghanistan's Taliban government has suspended BBC broadcasts from FM radio sites nationwide, citing unspecified "repeated violations". The BBC is the only international news organisation still broadcasting inside Afghanistan and reaches more than a fifth of adults weekly, including education programmes for girls barred from secondary school. The broadcaster said it is working with the authorities and will keep reaching listeners via shortwave, satellite and online.
