Flash speaks to BBC World News journalist and anchor Yalda Hakim

It was an extraordinary moment.

Australian journalist Yalda Hakim was hosting BBC World News when her phone rang.

It was the Taliban on the other end.

Kabul had just fallen and the extremist group had taken control of the country. Yalda spoke to us about that moment, her career, and about what it was like growing up as an Afghan migrant in Australia during the 80s and 90s.

We’ve got the full chat for you in a very special episode of Flash Drive.
