Kherson Under Fire | The Girls of Sola

Kherson Under Fire – One year after Russia invaded Ukraine, CBS News senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams contributes a report from Kherson, the first major Ukrainian city and only regional capital captured by the Russian army. Residents of Kherson endured a brutal occupation until the Ukrainian army forced the Russians to retreat. Williams reports on what life is like for those living in liberated Kherson as the city continues to fall under fire from Russian artillery now on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River. 

The Girls of Sola – Since U.S. troops withdrew from Afghanistan and the country fell to the Taliban, Afghan girls have been barred from school beyond 6th grade. Lesley Stahl travels to meet a group of Afghan girls who are continuing their education in an unlikely place, the African nation of Rwanda. The girls are students of a school called SOLA, led by Shabana Basij-Rasikh, a remarkable Afghan woman whose commitment to educating girls began under the first Taliban regime when she attended a secret school disguised as a boy. SOLA is the Afghan word for peace and also short for School of Leadership Afghanistan. SOLA, Afghanistan's first boarding school for girls, managed to evacuate all its students and staff after the Taliban takeover, making the girls of SOLA among the only Afghan middle school and high school girls in the world today with access to a formal education. This is a double-length segment.
