Good morning! Trump adds more women to his cabinet, Kamala Harris is planning her next steps, and a new documentary aims to put Afghan women's rights at the top of the global agenda.

- Still fighting. The new documentary Bread and Roses, which premiered on Apple TV on Friday, has a powerhouse producing team behind it: activist Malala Yousafzai, actor Jennifer Lawrence, and director Sahra Mani.

The film follows women in Afghanistan after the takeover of the Taliban in 2021. The women fight for their freedom, with their efforts captured in guerilla-style footage, often shot on phone cameras. "This documentary is a form of solidarity for Afghan women and girls, and it's also a form of resistance against the Taliban, which is trying to make Afghan women invisible and erase them," Yousafzai told me in a Zoom interview.
