all eyes will be on hollywood later to see whether everything everywhere all at once can get the top award at the oscars. at ten o'clock we will be here with a full round up of the day's news. first, ourworld: my escape from afghanistan. in august 2021, the taliban shocked the world as they swept to power in afghanistan. it wasn't long before they began to crack down on the rights of women. last year, i met with activist tamana paryani, who'd been involved in a protest in kabul. after daring to raise her voice, the taliban came in the middle of the night to arrest her. although she was later released,

she went into hiding. at the time, it was too dangerous for us to broadcast her testimony. now she has escaped and she's ready to tell her extraordinary story. kabul, june 2022. afghanistan is now the only country in the world where female education is forbidden. reports have been emerging of women standing up for their rights being forcibly disappeared.

i wanted to meet tamana, who'd been arrested earlier in the year forjoining a protest against the new taliban leaders. tamana managed to film a video and upload it to facebookjust before being taken away. i wanted to see the apartment she'd been taken from and see if i could speak to any of the neighbours about what happened that night.

shortly after they were arrested, a family member managed to get into the apartment and film the aftermath. months on, the signs of forced entry were still visible on the door. tamana was taken, along with her four sisters, but the videos she had uploaded had started to go viral. there are growing concerns for women in afghanistan protesting against the curbing of their rights under the taliban. tamana paryani was taken from her apartment by armed men. world leaders were outraged. human rights organisations immediately condemned and demanded their release. i quizzed the taliban directly on my show about the case.

i managed to get a message through to tamana and she agreed to meet me in a safe house the next day. after she'd been released from prison, she went into hiding with herfamily, fearing the taliban would be back again. there was a suspicion that the house was being watched. 25—year—old tamana had come to the attention of the authorities for organising a string of protests demanding women's rights in kabul. injanuary 2022, she had organised a march to raise questions about the disappearance of a female prison officer, alia azizi.

tamana and her four sisters covered

a traditional afghan burqa in streaks of fake blood. three days later, the taliban came to their apartment.

during their time in prison, 18—year—old karishma told of repeated abuse by the taliban guards. during the three weeks they were being held, their mother tried to track them down. eventually, the taliban released

the four women in february 2022, but not without a final warning. they were banned from leaving the country and had their passports taken away. they were also threatened that if they spoke with the media, theirfather and brother would be arrested. in total, there were 32 women arrested in a series of raids on female activists in january across the country. since then, tamana has moved from house to house, relying on the goodwill of others to keep her hidden.

tamana wore a full niqab to stay hidden when changing location.

the car in front is what tamana is using to get to the next location. we're going through multiple taliban checkpoints and i can imagine it's quite nerve—racking for her. the safe house was on the other side of town. the owner did not want to be identified for his safety, but agreed to speak with me. we've just arrived here with tamanna. she's crossed kabul to get here to safety. just tell me why you've allowed her to come here. when the taliban came to power, and knowing what you know

about her steeliness, her determination, were you worried? tamana's experience is like so many other female activists in the country. so many of them have been driven out, pushed out of the public eye. they now feel trapped inside their homes in this very suffocating environment. and it's unclear what their future will be. there seems to be like a pattern emerging — women coming out demanding

their rights, the taliban intimidating and detaining some of them, and then the women being too afraid to come out and speak up again. and this is exactly what's happened to tamana. it was time for me to leave kabul. tamana and her family were starting to see there was no future for them in afghanistan. months later, i received a message from her. she and her sisters were on the move to the eastern border with pakistan. they filmed themselves dressing in local clothes to blend in.

tamana had paid a network of smugglers to get her family out of the country. they split into two groups, with her parents and younger siblings going on their own, and tamana with three of her sisters.

the four women were detained by the taliban when trying to cross the border in eastern afghanistan, the guards telling them that if they were to try this again, worse things would happen. they were sent back to kabul.

tamana and her entire family made it across the border to pakistan. butjust as i was finalising my plans to meet them there... they're on a plane to germany. i travelled to meet them in germany, where they were living in temporary accommodation just outside of cologne.

i arrived just in time for lunch. they're just complaining about the food — when they first arrived, there were a lot of sausages, they wanted hot afghan food! tamana's friend nadia joined us. she'd been instrumental in getting the family to europe.

the foreign office agreed to transfer tamana's family to germany. they're now waiting for their asylum application to be processed. tamana and zarmina took me for a walk around their new village.

the family had been in germany forjust over a week and were starting to process the challenges they now faced. nadia wanted to take the sisters into cologne to visit the city centre.

like her sister, tamana has no plans to step back from her activism.

since we filmed with tamana, she and her sisters have staged

protests in amsterdam against the taliban rule. they have vowed to continue. hello, there. were much milder outburst across the country on sunday thanks to south—westerly winds, though south—westerly winds, though south—westerly winds, though south—westerly winds and much higher temperatures had a big impact on the

snow leaving barely anything less. there are still some snow around the staffordshire moors, and northern scotland where the air as a little bit colder. after a bright start on sunday we saw a figure clad working through in the afternoon, with the rain tied in with this next area of low pressure that is still going to be with us into monday, bringing some windy weather our way. south—westerly winds mean that the love a start today for most of the uk. the exception is northern scotland, where it will be cold enough for some patches of frost and a bit of ice around as well. monday will be a day of sunny spells and blustery showers, with gale force winds across england and wales strong enough to bring down some tree branches back to the most part as stays mild, temperatures in england and wales into double figures but colder air seeps southwards in scotland. in scotland we are seeing something of a difference with the weather picture with rain turning to snow across the hills, with further accumulations,

several centimetres above 200 metres elevation and 5—10 centimetres above the higher hills. as that cold air pushes southwards through monday night you could see some snow over the hills of northern ireland, northern england and north wales, leaving a legacy of icy conditions heading into tuesday morning. certainly there will be a widespread frost on tuesday, and the dramatically different feel to the day. it is going to fuel freezing cold again and why it �*s because we have polar air returning southwards on tuesday and that will dramatically drop temperatures. after a cold, frosty and locally as started the day there will be sunshine, with wintry showers across western areas frequent, with some further accumulating hill snow across northern areas of scotland. temperatures, you can forget about double figures. these are the temperatures will have through the afternoon ranging from 2—7 celsius but feeling colder than that given the brisk winds. we will have a widespread frost to start the day on

wednesday, sunny start, then clouding over from the west with snow showers continuing in scotland. through wednesday afternoon, we have a band of rain pushing into that cold air, with a spell of snow probably limited to the hills in northern ireland, remaining cold nationwide. through wednesday night through to thursday, there is a risk of some hill snow across parts of northern england and across parts of scotland. any disruption should be limited because it is over the hills, and secondly because we are expecting that's snow to turn back to rain as ultimately milder air pushes in and by the time we get a thursday afternoon for many of us come will be back to double figures so another big swing in temperature watches. friday, still a south—westerly flow for many, sunny spells and plenty of heavy showers around, mild for the most part but notice the colder north—easterly winds edging back into scotland were again across northern most areas we could be looking at another spell of

hill snow. called in the north but otherwise temperatures between 10—12 celsius, so a week of big temperature swings and for some, yes, there will be some hill snow over the next few days.
