remember, afghanistan is not the afghanistan of the 1990s.liamentary elections during the past two decades, and afghan society has changed a lot. so, if the taliban bring of the table something which is against women rights, which does not accommodate for women rights, i am not sure how such a deadlock will be broken. and i am not sure how the afghan civil society will accept it. so i think it will be a very challenging environment where they will be negotiating. and flexibility and accommodation may be the key to finding some solution. jehangir khattak there. sir terence conran, the british designer who transformed uk retail and interior design, has died at the age of 88. best known as the founder of the furniture store chain, habitat, sir terence brought modern style and simplicity to uk homes. today, the design museum, which he founded, described him as a visionary, david sillito looks back at his life. you know, i believe in what i call easy living. duvets, flatpack furniture, the wok. it wasn't just a shop. sir terence conran introduced
