The Taliban in Afghanistan say hundreds of people have died in a magnitude six earthquake in the east of the country.
As we record this podcast,
the authorities say more than 800 are dead and that more than 2,500 people have been injured in the provinces of Nangarhar and Kunar.
A Taliban spokesman, Zaibullah Mujahid,
said the epicentre was in a remote mountainous area which is making relief operations difficult.
He said the casualty figures may increase as some villages were only accessible by helicopter and some people and bodies were still being recovered from the rubble.

Kunar province, which has been... affected very badly.
