Armed groups, including the Taliban, are looting Afghanistan's natural resources to the tune of millions of dollars, according to the anti-corruption group Global Witness.

It estimates that mining for one semi-precious stone alone - lapis lazuli - has yielded almost $30m in two years.

The BBC's Justin Rowlatt reports from Kabul.
