GB News to air Afghanistan special
GB News announces a special report programme on the worsening situation in Afghanistan hosted by Colin Brazier.

GB News has announced details of its first ever special report, Afghanistan: The Human Story, to air on the channel over this weekend.

The one-hour programme will be hosted by Colin Brazier, the former Sky News anchor who has reported on the troubles in the country from on the ground over the last two decades.

"Like many of those who've been to Afghanistan, I've been struck by the collapse of a state which – for all its corruption – was showing signs of stabilisation," he said. "What happens now to the people of a country where war is more of a way of life than peace?

"The questions come thick and fast. Are the Taliban different this time? Will there be a migrant exodus westwards? Were British military deaths futile? Can we avoid Afghanistan becoming a terrorist playground or a Chinese satrapy? Will Joe Biden's reputation ever recover?

"It's a story that marks a massive punctuation mark in the story of how East and West combine or conflict. It matters deeply to our viewers - and to me."

The special report airs on Friday at 3pm and 8pm, as well as Saturday at 2pm and Sunday at midday.
