Afghans have Cop26 delegate applications rejected days before event

Five men and one woman who have fled Taliban are given no reason for rejection

Six environmental experts from Afghanistan who were due to attend Cop26 as their country's delegates to the global conference have had their applications rejected just days before the event begins.

The six - five men and one woman who cannot be named because it could jeopardise their safety - were looking forward to travelling to the event to help make the concerns of Afghans about the climate emergency heard at the summit.
