That, as things develop, nato will continue to adjust its presence. She says that even with the further u. S. Reductions that have been announced, nato will continue its mission to train, advise and assist Afghan Forces and is committed to funding them through 2024. And heres the interesting sentence, phil. She says, as secretary general stoltenberg said before the announcement, we must preserve the gains we have made in the fight against international terrorism. We went into afghanistan together and when the time is right, we should leave together. Now before the announcement secretary general stoltenberg said we will leave together. That clearly has been thrown into doubt by the us president. Well, i have told our daughter from back to you to australia. You need law to really. Because what you say, were going to hear next from the German Foreign minister, heiko mohsin. He also is concerned about these u. S. Plans. Its especially important to us that the progress weve achieved so far isnt thrown into jeopardy by hasty actions. Thats why were particularly concerned about what the u. S. Announcement could mean for the continuation of peace talks in afghanistan. It certainly shouldnt be taken for granted that after decades of conflict, both sides now sit at the negotiating table and have started to have constructive discussions with each other. And is that 1st . There are still countless uncertainties and hurdles that lie ahead. So we shouldnt create even more obstacles unnecessarily, which are rushed withdrawal from afghanistan would most certainly do so for them. So theyre going in germany. Teri schultz away does the u. S. President s decision leave germany and at the roughly 1200 men and women, the country has deployed in afghanistan. These peace talks that the foreign minister was referring to that are now under way, are in support of a basically a draft deal that has been done with the taliban. And in that deal, it said that all International Troops would pull out by may. If the taliban stuck to its side of the deal, now that meant no more attacks and of course, attacks have continued. So the taliban isnt sticking to its side of the deal, which is why this, this decision by President Trump is all the more frustrating those watching from the outside say, why would the taliban give any more ground in peace talks if its already won . If its already getting what it wants with u. S. Troops and probably also International Troops to follow after that. So that definitely puts the negotiators on the afghan side of things on the Afghan Government side of things in a much weaker position. That of course, leaves the International Troops under nato command, also in a weaker position because these u. S. Troops provide a lot of the stability and infrastructure that they use. Its the largest presence. Its the Strongest Military force. And without those u. S. Forces on the ground, everyone else is at risk of a big between decision implementation earlier this year, president trouble. So it was that he was going to pull troops out of germany. Nothings happened yet. I wonder if nato perhaps is hoping that something similar is going to happen here, and theyre just waiting until joe biden takes over. I think there are probably a lot of People Holding their breath and crossing their fingers fell. And as you said, and i even heard a German Government think tank conference earlier this week, that literally nothing has happened on that announcement that german troops were going to be pulled out of germany and moved to belgium and italy and other places. So it, for one thing, it takes a long time to pull troops and equipment and infrastructure out of a country where youve been deployed for almost 20 years. So there was already a question about how Much Movement could be made in such a short timeframe. Whether whether president means by christmas says he 1st announced, or even by the middle of january. But whats clear and what was reinforced to me by a former italian ambassador to nato that i spoke with earlier today. He said, president definitely wants to make an impact. So that he expects there will be at least some troops, probably with very little luggage coming home by that date. So that president can say he made good on his promise, or at least on his tweet, did only correspondent teri schultz. Thank you for that. So more International Headlines now, starting in hong kong where police have arrested 3, former lawmakers for disrupting legislative meetings. They were detained after splashing pungent liquids in the chamber. Their arrests have again raised their concerns are going to crackdown on hong kongs prodemocracy movement. If european Government Forces are marching towards the capital of the rebel region, mecca, ignoring International Appeals for talks to end, the conflict footage shows an earlier era offensive by government fighter jets returned to cries, forces, say, theyve captured tanks and artillery and they say they are vowing to quickly defeat the Government Troops coming to and from the u. S. Federal aviation or thora, he has cleared. Boeing 737 max to fly again, provided the aircraft are fitted with Software Upgrades and pilots are given special training. The planes were grounded last year after 2 crashes which killed nearly 350. 00 people. Both incidents were caused by faults in the Flight Control systems. The 20 month grounding is the longest in aviation aviation history. Lets get more on this from rob watch from d. W. Business. Welcome rob. So does this mean were going to see 737 max is taking to the skies quickly. Quickly is an interesting word here. It does set is on the road towards that happening effectively. What the f. A. A. Has done here is lift the grounding of this particular model, but what it wants to do is approve its return to use for each of the 59. 00 lines that want to use it in the United States. And so for them to get that approval, the airlines are going to work with boeing to make sure that these Software Installations are take place. That the extra training that the f. A. A. Is now mandating for pilots is carried out. And the f. A. A. Is going to check every single one of the almost 47037. 00 max is that are out there is the right standards. So it wont be happening immediately because that could take weeks for some airlines months for others. Southwestern which has the most 73 months, as is obvious of much as even says its not planning to return its service until spring of next year. The only airline so far to say it is putting it back on the shuttle is american airlines. Its funding to use a 737 max from miami to new york from the end of december. So was one thing the airlines saying, all right, we will make use ready for people to go in, but will people actually want to fly of them . Yeah, i mean the f. A. A. , as you would expect has said look, we wouldnt be approving this if we werent satisfied with it. The head of the f. A. A. Has said he is 100 percent confident in the safety of the plane. But there is still criticism. For example, from the families of the victims of those 2 deadly plane crashes involving the 737 max. They said the changes that are being proposed the not enough yet. One of the criticisms was this into the stall system. Been blamed for the crashing that it was sort of pointing the nose of the plane gradually down into the ground. The pilots can do anything about it. That was relying on a single sense. Now its still relying on a single sense, and the victims of the families who were killed say you need at least 3 senses before were going to even consider getting back on one of these planes. So there are people who are against it. Boeing is trying to reassure them. Sounds like they might be setting up a 24 hour war room for want of a better phrase to monitor every 737 max thats in the air right any one time. But some passages are going to need a bit of reassurance before they get back on board a jet that was described by one boeing employee back at the start of the scandal as designed by clowns. And supervised by monkeys. Well, its a very briefly rob, its this boeing now turning a corner. Boeings describes this as an important milestone, but this is just the f. A. A. In the us that supreme this now we still got to get approval from european regulators, chinese regulators, regulators in brazil. So theres still a long way to go and even then boeing is trying to sell this plane as a time when passenger numbers in the United States, down by 65 percent, because of the coronavirus crisis. So theyre by no means through this. Yet, rob was from the doubly business. Thank you. Its been battering Central America with high winds international. Right. Lets talk a reassuring nicaragua on monday night, and its been blamed for at least 5 deaths across the region. Forecasters say, flooding and landslides will remain a big threat even as the system weakens. Its the 30th storm so far this season, Strong Enough to have been given any hurricane are you . The storm roared ashore to nicaragua, as cad to be in coast packing, 250 kilometer parer winds and leaving chaos in its wake. You know, this is the 3rd hurricane ive seen in my life, and its one of the strongest and most destructive hurricanes ive ever seen in my life. I mean, tens of thousands of people have been evacuated to shelters, and the area is still reeling from an equally powerful storm. The same stretch of coastline was devastated by hurricane etta just 2 weeks ago. Were running out of purgatives for this atlantic Hurricane Season record, but its record breaking, and every sense of the word it is turned out to be even west, and we thought it started earlier and is going to end even late. This unprecedented season is spoken. Seeing more attention on Climate Change, scientists see its causing wetter, stronger, and more destructive storms. November usually signals the end of the Hurricane Season. Something that cant come soon enough for people here. But a sport.

Coming up today, true production from a country in need of security. The United States used to be a hall of the number of its troops in afghanistan by gender. But is it too hasty, a drawdown from a country seeing increasing levels of violence . We give the view from kabul and the wages of battle against another spike, and we meet the frontlines whackos facing the odds on the j. V. Faces. Welcome to d. W. News asia. Glad 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 all military leadership, including the u. S. Commander responsible for the middle east, marine general frank mackenzie, have warned against too hasty a pullout from a country that is yet to see a stabilization of levels of violence in a diva agreed with the taliban earlier this year the us committed to a complete troop withdrawal by me next year, but the fear is the latest move to end americas longest running war could strengthen the hand of militant groups, including the taliban 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 after 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 a 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 of months. Not to have any earth shaking changes with regard to defense and foreign policy. But its drawdown and either 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 this peace effort collapses, then we could see it big humanitarian disaster into a country that is for sure. I hope it was president. Trump made a pledge to end what he calls quote, forever wars. But in doing so, he risks fanning the flames of conflict in afghanistan, shards of cotton 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. Ms. Of but welcome, does this troop reduction that has been announced benefit the people of afghanistan . Thank you. No, not in this mine and not their families that this immediate took action without considering the conditions on the ground would actually put a lot of pressure on the government and worsened ongoing conflict. As you know, the spiked ongoing peace talks and the hunt and violence staging across are honest and, and, and admissions who fight on both sides. In effect that the civilian population is also affected. A great deal by the violence. His book about the peace talks that are currently underway with the taliban in doha. Does this move strengthen the negotiating hand of the taliban a group you yourself have met in doha in the past . Yes, theres actually whats tense and all of on at least temporarily. And that, i believe will not benefit the Peace Process as a whole. Because for the Peace Process to sexy, both sites needs to need to make concessions. And what takes me 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 itself. And the idea is that all actors right now, International Community, us in the lead, should focus on making the Peace Process. A success is a 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 were drawing u. S. Troops, which are, 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 of its role but nor not your attention being given to us National Security interests, long term and to peace and stability in afghanistan. If then china is just drawing for cop 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 on their mind, the effects 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 it actually also sense that it must such 2 countries in the region about u. S. Priorities. Not hans. 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, yet has been gradual reduction of u. S. Nuts, enough on that in afghanistan, u. S. Military is not. And felt in actual combat in afghanistan and assistance to all but reaction of troops well 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 engagements. We 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. After the study fall in delhi coronavirus cases over the last month, india is anticipating another spike following festive gatherings on 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 epona from those of the frontline of delhis battle with covert 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 commit the bodies sifi, and ensure that people suffering the shock of losing a Family Member to the coronavirus have proper protective gear. As they see their last goodbyes for the last week has been bringing in twice the number of bodies than earlier. Delhi is experiencing its 3rd spike in called 19 cases. The close 200 deaths every day was assigned to the mortuary, often many vocus before him, quipped. All the venom by the number of corpses coming 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 delis largest coronavirus facility. The spike is evident. The severity of the cases has also risen as many more seek admission. While this hospital still has a high number of designated coronavirus beds available, the 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. So we have to make provision for 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 overwhelmed with daily cases in delhi crossing the 8000. 00 mark. The National Government has now stepped in at parties planned to significantly ramp up the thing, increase the number of i. C. U. Bets and also deploy Emergency Health care office. Elsewhere in delhi to the morgue and the board are stokley distant worlds. Even after the recent volley festival crowds continue to troll in the markets. The State Government denies chances of another lockdown, but is considering closing down markets where norms are being flouted. Dress against, think this, its unnecessary. We cause you is no need to worry cases are going up there, keep rising even during a shutdown, people go out anyway, they want to make a difference when theyre going to do that. Its not so would be interested ration right now. If we take some people feel so good because you people back at the crime adored him, strongly disagrees. His is the kind of book that makes him vince when he sees the markets overflowing and people shouting together on the streets. Memories of the lockdown maybe feeding for those out and about. But is still a feed 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. Lock down 13 is not an option. Its on leave. And the pandemic ends that can truly go home. Well thats it for today. Theres more no website, a bit of a dot com forward slash. Now, chinas Tourism Sector slowly recovering from the corona about to spend. That includes major attractions like junk. The inspiration for the movie avatar, which also boasts the worlds highest outdoor lift. We leave you with those images. Were back tomorrow. The same time to do that over the phone against the corona virus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing. What does the latest research say . Information and contacts the coronavirus update. On t w. Can you hear me now . Yes. Yes, we can hear you in her last years. German chancellor, when you bring your uncle a man called and youve never had to have surprise yourself with what is possible. Who is magical . Really . What moves her and what we talk to people who followed her along the way, admirers and critics alike. How is the worlds most powerful woman shaping her . Think its being diagnosed at michaels last stop has the coronavirus already found a way to beat the vaccines . A mutation in maine has led to mass killing in denmark. The new strain doesnt appear any deadly good to humans, but it does raise serious questions. What we have to value is over time, just for the 1st as any difference in transmission or clinical separately. Or with a result, the implication for diagnostics or rx, which were a long, long way away from making any determination of the reason for concern is the new taishan is have occurred in the biases spike protein. Thats the very target of the most developed vaccines. Well, officials have since discovered the corona virus on milk 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 polity of the offer of including piano patersons. The virus reached his farm in early september. He clearly remembers that day when the 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 parents and also contracted the virus. Now to be on the safe side, all of his 10000 to make will be called. 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. Viral and just are concerned about this extensive transmission. Anders from scotts team analyzed the mutation on the mink farms and found it matched 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. 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 and boxes like this one. There 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 vets, 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 makes have yet to be called. Peter america 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 . Well, what happens is that we put into any population, human violence and thats our coffee, it 19 birds. And of course, this fire is this. Human virus has not lived up to the me and environment. And therefore traumatization when jumping from well being to the next. Indeed speak many forms, it mutates and try to adapt to the new and violence. And thats what we are seeing if we have the virus in a meek farm and allowed to spread from one meaning to the make 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 what we have seen so far and the traumatic, weve seen one famous cluster of 5 variants in denmark. And he said studies will tend to indicate that its would be to listen sibyl sensitive to potentially flu vaccine. But its 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 variance that has not yet its a pia. And there will be much more problematic with regards to a vaccine or will be more elite or easier to translate between him and so is the potential for one day when the patient coming out that hes not nice well and that not so nice when you take a look at that occurring any other animal . Yes, you can look in any anywhere where the virus is allowed. And dear to me. Tate wins jumping from one to the phone and thats more nicky to happen. And human population then continues to simply between humans and more likely to happen in ink. So or cows, goats, sheep. It doesnt, from initial studies, it doesnt. The virus doesnt seem to be in 15 peaks. Easy. If we, if you can its, its very difficult if its not at all it up to these mars and therefore jumping from one count of the next one peak of the next would be a difficult process. And the most likely the virus will die off and are not mannish. Thats why in the me creation, it seems to be very well transmissible in between makes and therefore it has to jump quickly between one needs to the next in these big farms in. And it has not been seen c, 2008, so its much more likely to have all that most species where its not likely to, to, to, if it is a loss or to transmit between animals. But why is that happening . What is it about that makes dimming seems to have sales in there is pretty trance. Nolans very similar to the human one sent there for the virus and its already an easy way to, to. d me make response really saved and we use spirits, we use their baby regularly as model of us where we just call the nurses insurance. So its not surprising that their meat has his natural affinity and society didnt seem to have arms. So is this the right approach, killing all this makes its seems to be the bush equal approach. Because the only way to avoid it is to either protect the meeks from and to virus, meaning protecting their farms. So the virus doesnt infect all of these farms or protecting the humans who are working on these farms. And what we have seen in the past months is that these seems to be very difficult or perhaps impossible. And therefore, the only logical solution hes to remove that makes it a crime to thank you very much. Thank you. Well, could dogs spread code 19, a study by the university of granite die and the end of lucy and school of Public Health shows living with a canine can increase the risk of getting a virus has one job. It is 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 a 2 hour science correspondent eric williams. Now hes been looking into your questions on the coronavirus. 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 on 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 other. So this is what we know so far about immunity in 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 that a 2nd time just just a handful so, so thats positive. It indicates average immunity could last least a year as long as with other coronaviruses that are less deadly, possibly even 2 or longer, which was the guestimate force for sars. There have been worrisome results from studies that showed levels of antibodies falling in people who recovered from coated 19 just a few months later. But most experts say you shouldnt focus on bad 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 isnt really how long an individual is a musician 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.
