British welcome to lead, you could join us the u. S. Decision to rapidly reduce the number of troops in afghanistan has set off alarm bells amongst those following events in the country. Some of trumps own military leadership, including the u. S. Commander responsible for the middle east, marine general frank mackenzie, have warned against too. He pull out from a country that has yet to see a stabilization of levels of violence in a deal agreed with the taliban. The u. S. Committed to a complete troop withdrawal by any next year. But the fear is the latest move to end americas longest running war could strengthen the hand of militant groups, including the taleban in the country. The sun could be setting on the u. S. Presence in afghanistan. American soldiers have been fighting here since 2001 to help stabilize the country off to overthrowing the taliban. A mission thats cost more than 2000, u. S. Lives over time. U. S. Troop numbers have waned now. Outgoing president. Donald trump wants them reduced to a skeleton 4th by january 15th, 2021. Our forces, their size in afghanistan will be 2500. 00 troops. This is consistent with our established plans and strategic objectives supported by the American People and does not equate to a change in u. S. Policy or objectives. As American Forces disengage, extremists are growing bolder. This attack on Kabul University last week killed 22 people. It was claimed by the socalled islamic state, which is emerged as a rival to the taliban. The taliban themselves have stepped up attacks on Security Forces and civilians violating an agreement that foresaw the withdrawal of all u. S. Soldiers by may next year. Criticism of the latest drawdown even came from within President Trumps own party. Really important here in the next couple months. Not to have any earthshaking changes with regard to defense and foreign policy. But as drawdown a new there, afghanistan or iraq would be a mistake. The move comes at a critical juncture for afghanistan, as peace talks in doha between the government and the taliban hang in the balance. There are fears a hasty u. S. Withdrawal could undermine the fragile negotiations. The u. N. Warns consequences of that could be dire. If the peace effort collapses, then we could see it big humanitarian disaster into a country that is for sure. I hope people want President Trump made a pledge to end what he calls quote, a forever wars. But in doing so, he risks fanning the flames of conflict in afghanistan. Shatter the uk button, features of god, his sons independent human rights commission. She was previously deputy of the National Security council on peace and civilian protection. She joins me now from kabul. Is of but welcome. Does this troop reduction that has been announced benefit the people of afghanistan . Thank you. No, not in the snow, not to look at action without considering conditions on the ground, would actually put a lot of pressure on the government and worsened ongoing conflict. As you know, at this point, the ongoing peace talks and the hunt and violence staging across are honest and, and, and fighters on both sides being affected. The civilian population is also affected. A great deal by the violence has spoke about the peace talks that are currently underway with the taleban in doha. Does this move, strengthen the negotiating hand of the taliban a group you yourself have met in doha in the past . Yes, there is actually whats sense and all of this that temporarily and that i believe will not benefit the Peace Process as a whole because for the Peace Process to succeed, both sides needs to need to make concessions. And whats likely to believe that the Peace Process or the negotiating table is the best way to reach an agreement. However, if there is a troop withdrawal without looking at the conditions on the ground, taliban would be reinforced and their ambition to focus more on winning the war and militarily. And it would actually take away from the sense of the process that such. And that idea is that all actors act now International Community, us in the lead, should focus on making the Peace Process a success. This process that was initiated by us taleban talks. And does that mean that the peace talks are no longer important for the United States . Because based on what youre saying, the ground situation is not conducive to her drawing u. S. Troops, which were in a sense, ive got a lot of security. The question is, what are you this is and tennysons is the use and tension, just the withdrawal but nor not yet mentioned been given to us as National Security interests long term and to peace and stability. Not harm is done if they didnt, is just withdrawing for cock forces at any cost that can have implications late at both for afghanistan and us National Security. Then this would be the book. But if the intention is long term stability in afghanistan, a constant being a good ally for International Community and for the us, this move while, i think really badly affect the Peace Process and what undermine the if its that we have all put together for ensuring that the Peace Process sexy, its that its a meaningful process and that afghans have some hope. And that actually it was a sense that it must such to countries in the region about u. S. Priorities. Not hans. You have confidence of afghan Security Forces can keep the peace in afghanistan. Afghan Security Forces have been the main people on the back on the battleground since 2014. As you know, there has been gradual reduction of u. S. Nuts, enough on that in afghanistan. U. S. Military is not and solved in actual combat in afghanistan, an assistance to all but reaction not paying attention on the ground conditions. Its more symbolic. Its more about a month sitting about we have the u. S. Turns in terms of plans and engagement where leave it there for the time being. But thank you so much for joining us. Shadows of track of afghanistans independent human rights commission. Thank you. Also study fall in delhi coronavirus cases over the last month, india is anticipating another spike following festive gatherings and a drop in temperatures. But residents of the National Capital delhi have already been dealing with increasing numbers of cases made potentially worse by seasonal epu from those of the frontline of delhis battle with corbett. 19 the day is just beginning for but he knows it will be a long one. He counted 15 bodies in the morning when he left the morgue at delhis largest over 1000 hospital, where he works. He will spend all of the, at this chemical area, he helped cremate the body sifi and ensured that people suffering the shock of losing a Family Member to the could. One of us have proper protective gear as they see the last goodbyes for the last week has been bringing in twice the number of bodies than delhi is experiencing its 3rd spike in called 19 cases. The close 200 deaths every day. Roger was assigned to the mortuary, often many locals before him, quipped all the venom by the number of corpses standing in. I had to step over bodies to sort through the names of the victims. I had to summon all my courage. Of course i was scared. Ive never seen anything like you see my life. Ive never seen so many bodies. Still, he soldiers on. He says someone has to cure at the local hospital, delhis largest go to one of our this facility. The spike is evident. The severity of the cases has also risen as many more seat admission. While this hospital still has a high number of designated coronavirus beds available, they only have a handful of free ventilators and intensive care units or i. C. U. Beds left. This after i. C. U. Beds at this facility alone have been for drupal during the pandemic. Authorities here are confident that things are under control, but they are also bracing for more cases. More and more people are coming out of their homes when the number may go up. So we hope this is because of the number of people in the market was getting the authorities are now mapping out ways to prevent the Health Care System from being over bit and with daily gases in delhi. Crossing the a powder mark. The National Government has now stepped in part these plans to significantly ramp up testing increase the number of i. C. U. Bad, and also deploy Emergency Health care forces elsewhere in delhi to the morgue and the board are stokley distant worlds. Even after the decent volley festival crowds continue to try on the markets. The State Government denies chances of another lockdown, but is considering closing down markets where norms are being flouted. Dress of instinct, this is unnecessary, will cause you is no need to worry cases are going up there. Keep rising, even during a shutdown. People go out anyway. You want to make a difference when theyre going to do that. Its not so would be interesting to eat and right now, if we take some people feel so good because he put them back at the crime. Adored him. Raj strongly disagrees. His is the kind of world that makes him vince when he sees the markets almost going and people crowding together on the streets. Memories of the lockdown maybe feeding for those out and about, but is still afraid to come close to his 3 young daughters. And his aging mother who recently underwent a cancer procedure, is upset that he hasnt really spoken to her in 8 months, but he is not giving up. Lockdown, fatigue is not an option. Its only been the pandemic ends. That drudge ish can truly go home. Well thats it for today. Theres more no website forward slash. Now, chinas Tourism Sector from the major attractions like the inspiration for the movie, which also boasts the worlds highest lift. The coronavirus pandemic has the rate of infection in developing the latest Research Information and contacts w. Sometimes and stereotype the country its all that you post has the coronavirus already found a way to beat the vaccines has led to mass killing in denmark. Doesnt appear any deadly good to humans, but it does raise serious questions. What we have to fight overtime is for the 1st is a difference in transmission over the result, the implication for diagnostics or wrecks which were a long, long way away from making any determination of the crime. The reason for concern is that mutations have occurred in the viruses spike protein. Thats the very target of the most developed vaccines. Officials have since discovered the corona virus on mink farms in half a dozen countries. But the biggest producer, denmark is hardest hit, and its become political with the agriculture minister, stepping down after the government admitted it didnt have the legal basis to order the nationwide colic. There are more than 1300 main farms in denmark. Many of them are in the minister palette of the office, including piano paid, arsons. The virus reached his farm in early september. He clearly remembers that day and going to cornea. It was like a wave passing through the stables. It began at one end with the animal, sneezing and losing their appetite, and it kept spreading. But one week later on the following weekend, it was over. The animals were healthy, again. The new mystery going to be on a patterson also contracted the virus. Now to be on the safe side, all of his 10000 mink will be culled. He never imagined that denmarks mink farms could develop into hotspots. It is thought that the corona virus stems from the animal world. It is believed to have 1st jumped from a bad species to humans via the pangolin in china. On denmarks make farms, it is now jumping back to animals from humans. Once a mink is infected, the virus spreads to almost all of the animals on a farm in less than 2 weeks. Just are concerned about this extensive transmission. And as from scotts team analyst, the mutation on the main farms and found it matches the virus found in some people in the region who fell ill. So we can see exactly how the virus spreads. It comes from humans, it is transmitted to minks where it spreads on mass and mutates in a manner we dont see and humans. And then it jumps back to the human population and thus to the rest of the world. Never happen. Every 3rd corona case in Northern New England can already be traced back to the mink farms. Exactly how it spread is still unclear, but with ever more mutations in circulation, especially those from animals, the pandemic will become difficult to stop. The vaccine could lose its effectiveness and the people who have been ill might not be immune to the mutation. So we would never achieve herd immunity. And that is why culling task forces are now rapidly traveling through denmark. The animals are killed with Carbon Monoxide in boxes like this one. Theyre then immediately incinerated, along with their valuable fur. Protective gear is mandatory as any animal might be infected. And here we have to kill 39000 minks. On this farm will be busy for 2 and a half days. We have 30 workers, 5 fats, and a standby team of 5 to 10 men here. And they will need at least another 4 weeks to work their way to all the farms. A total of 160. 00 farms are affected and there are suspicious cases on many more millions of manx have yet to be called peter pan and barack is an expert in food safety and there were no seats at the World Health Organization in geneva. Could you explain to us 1st of all, whats actually going on in the mix . How is the virus mutating . What happens is that we put into any population, human violence and thats our coffee. It 19 bugs. And of course, just virus. This human virus has not lived up to the knee and environment and therefore traumatization. When jumping from one being to the next in these beak main forms, it mutates and try to adapt to the new and violence. And thats what we are seeing each time we have the virus in a meek farm and allow it to spread from one into the mic over a period of time. Ok. But the question is, could these mutations which occur in the spike proteins which are used to enter a host cell and are also targeted by most of the promising vaccines that are in development, undermine the progress that weve made on a vaccine. Thats very difficult to say because these mutations are difficult to predict and we have seen so far not. And the traumatic. Weve seen one famous cluster of 5 variants in denmark. And he says that these would tend to indicate that it would be to sensible, sensitive to potentially seeing bit early days when he had much more studies to to get better understanding of that. But what worries us is the potential for another mutation, another of aryans, that is not, its a pia. And there will be much more problematic with regards to a vaccine or will be more elite or easier to transmit between him. And so is the potential for one day one patient coming out, that is not nice. Well and that not so nice when you take a look at that occurring any other animal . Yes. Include her in any anywhere where the virus is so loud and clear to me. Tate. Whens jumping from one in the theater and thats more nikki to happen in a population than whites continues to see create between humans and more likely to happen in inks or cows, goats sheep. It doesnt from initial studies, it doesnt. The virus doesnt seem to be in 15 peaks easy. If you can its, its very difficult. Its not at all it up to these miners and therefore jumping from one count of the next one key to the next will be a difficult process. And then most likely the virus will die off or not. Marriage starts john, ph. And it seems to be very well transmissible in between makes and therefore it has to join quickly between one need to the next in these big farms again. And each time it has not been seen, c 2 genetically. So its much more likely to have that most species where its not likely to, to, to effect the same loss or to transmit between animals. But why is that happening . What is it about that makes and to me seems to have no, since there is pretty trance, no loans very similar to human wants and therefore the virus has already an easy way to, to. d me make response really sorry. And we use ferrets. We use their baby regularly as model animals when we just call in the nurses. So its not surprising that meat has these natural affinity and society didnt seem to have arms. So is this the right approach . Killing all this makes its seems to be the logical approach, because the only way to avoid it is to either to take the meeks from and a virus, meaning protecting the farms. So the viruses that infect all of these farms or protecting the humans who are working on these farms. And what we have seen in past months is that these ceased to be very difficult or impossible. And therefore, the only logical solution hes to remove that makes it a crummy thank you very much. Thank you. Well, could dogs spread code 19 a study by the university or crown a die and the adam lucy of school of Public Health shows living with a canine can increase the risk of getting a virus. As one doctor has to take extreme hygiene measures with their pets, as its not yet clear whether the owners were infected by the animal, all from taking it out for a walk in public of it while science correspondent eric williams. Now hes been looking into your questions on the corona virus. How long does immunity last . Once the disease is overcome . Straight off the bat, no one can really answer this at this point, but that doesnt mean that it isnt worth talking about. And this is really a key question, especially with the vaccine approvals, apparently, just around the corner. Because immunity in people who got the disease will also sort of set the goal posts with the immunity that we can expect a vaccine to provoke. Although the 2 arent necessarily tied really closely to one another, knowing about one will at least allow us to make a stab at guessing the others. So this is what we know so far about immunity and people whove recovered from covert 19 were over 10 months. And, and so far as far as we can tell, very few people have gotten it a 2nd time just just a handful so, so thats positive. It indicates average immunity could last least a year as long as what other coronaviruses that are less deadly, possibly even 2 or longer, which was the guestimate force for sars. Theres been worrisome results from studies that showed levels of antibodies falling in people who recovered from code at 19 just a few months later. But most experts say you shouldnt focus on that because thats to be expected. We focus on anti by he so much because theyre one of the easiest markers for us to measure. But there are many other aspects to an effective immune response. Ultimately, for societies, at least the 1000000. 00 question. Is it really how long an individual is amused . After catching the disease, it will be how long immunity lasts. After people get vaccinated, thats what will determine whether or not we reach herd immunity only then will the pandemic. And ive been fizzling for any other developments on the virus schedule website w dot com slash over 90. Because theyre constantly growing. Living costs are rising, every coming more densely feeling.
