Nearly a week after the earthquake in haiti victims in the some of hardest Hit Areas are still waiting for help plus, keeping busy during an unwanted intermission. How the cast of Mamma Mia found themselves working different jobs during lockdown now theyre ready to go again. Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe were drawing to the end of a seismic week for the people of afghanistan, and those who have served there during americas 20 year military involvement. Evacuation flights are continuing from the international airport at kabul, with nato officials saying that 18 Thousand people have now been airlifted out since the taliban took over. Many more are trying desperately to escape. Our afghanistan correspondent, Secunder Kermani and Camera Operator Malik mu dassir, have this report from kabul. Get back Panic And Chaos close to kabul airport. British soldiers guarding a secure compound for those being evacuated. British passport holders in the crowd, desperately trying to get through. This is my british passport. Like this Uber Driver from west london. Hes got kids. Weve been waiting. How long have you been here waiting . I came morning, five oclock. Still, im waiting here. In the last three days, im trying to go inside. And they wont letl you into the hotel . Even though the embassy has told you to come here. Yes, he said i had to go here. Even more distressing scenes at the main entrance to the compound. British soldiers trying to keep the crowd back. This is a scene of total and utter chaos, many of the people here dont have any permission to board an Evacuation Flight but they are so desperate that they just turned up here anyway. Thats making it extremely difficult for those who have been told to come here by the british embassy to get through. My family, my newborn baby. Amongst those trapped by the crowd, this former British Army interpreter. His wife gave birth just two weeks ago and hes deeply worried about the baby. Maybe i lose my kid and maybe she is not good. She is not good, my wife. You Cant Stay here. I Cant Stay here, look at the situation, look at the dirt on the floor here. And, until now, im here since morning, i came here, taliban lashed me on the back. Most of the people here are in a state of total confusion. They dont know how they can, but just want to leave the country before the Evacuation Flights end. What makes you think you will be able to travel . This woman says she was a player on the national basketball team. I am so scared, because im a girl. My life is in danger. What. As the day goes on, some of those who are meant to be here eventually get through, including the family with the young baby. Many others are still struggling, though. Even more who want to leave but cant will be left behind. So thats the scene on the ground meanwhile in washington, President Biden has been putting a brave face on a difficult situation. The Administrations Withdrawal has been met by fierce criticism, on both sides of the political aisle. At the White House today, Mr Biden deflected those concerns, and instead focused on evacuation, for americans, and their afghan allies. We are going to do everything that we can to provide safe evacuation for our afghan allies, partners and afghans who might be targeted because of their association with the united states. But let me be clear, any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. We can now speak to the us political analyst max kutner. What you make of biden� s response here to criticism from notjust republicans but not just republicans but democrats, notjust republicans but democrats, too . It notjust republicans but democrats, too . , ~ democrats, too . It sounds like he is going democrats, too . It sounds like he is going to democrats, too . It sounds like he is going to stick democrats, too . It sounds like he is going to stick with democrats, too . It sounds like he is going to stick with what i he is going to stick with what saying all week that he is comfortable in his decision but is planning on getting people out. Perhaps a response to what dozens of democrats urged a letter this week to biden administration folks saying that while they appreciated some of the efforts, the administration really needs to focus on getting those people out. They said they had grave concerns. That was some of the more moderate comments that we got from democrats. We also heard happened a failure of diplomacy, a failure of intelligence, and someone who should be aligned with biden saying we will have to ask tough questions about how the sort of thing happened. Maybe we could have expected some criticisms and questions from more Progressive Democrats but he is really getting it from all sides of the democratic party. Internationally there is a feelin party. Internationally there is a feeling and party. Internationally there is a feeling and some party. Internationally there is a feeling and some criticism. A feeling and some criticism that the us dont appear to have a great deal of leveraged when dealing with the taliban rings of a country defeated . Yes. On the international stage is taking hits there and abroad. This was not a great week for him now it sounds like on one hand he is doing Damage Control and on the other hand really sticking with what he said in his speech a week ago but still addressing concerns that have come up over the past week. ,. , that have come up over the past week. , week. There are polls saying there is broad week. There are polls saying there is broad support week. There are polls saying there is broad support for i week. There are polls saying | there is broad support for the principle of withdrawal and a great deal of support and political calculation, President Biden will be thinking in the longer term, Thatis Thinking in the longer term, that is what will be remembered, fingers crossed, from his point of view. It seems that the democrats are united in this idea you are perhaps reflected in the polls that it was a good idea to get out but it was not done in the best way and that is the kind of criticism that he is now trying to go up against. If youre talking about political futures for biden if he is up against trump in 2024 if trump runs again there will be a lot of finger pointing on both sides because biden did adhere to the trump administration timeline. That said, if he does not run in would have a tougher time pointing the finger and can be taken criticisms about what hearing this week into the selection a few years from now. I dont think these criticisms are going away anytime soon and he will have to weather the storm which, from the clip you played, it sounds like hes already trying to do that. Its been nearly a week since a powerful earthquake hit southwest haiti, and there are still some areas that have yet to receive any help whatsoever. More than 2000 people are known to have died. An estimated 135 Thousand families have been displaced. Our correspondent, james clayton, reports now from the small town of les anglais, where an entire parish is in mourning. To get to the small town of les anglais, you have to take the coastal road. The town is two hours from les cayes, and the Road Snakes through earthquake scarred villages and even through a river. This is whats left of the towns church. A Mass Christening was about to begin just before the earthquake struck. The church had been filling up with people. Dafica had woken up excited. Her daughter was one of the dozens of children to be christened that day. Translation the church already had a lot of people inside, so i was looking for a good place to sit. I put my bag down and just as i was about to sit down, the earthquake struck. Everyone started running but each side of the church was full of people. I was holding my baby. I tried to get out of the front. I was so nearly out and thats when it collapsed on me. Dafica suffered injuries to her head, back and legs, but survived. Her daughter esther died in her arms. Translation we were inseparable. When we went to the church, we were two, but i came back alone. I will never forget her. This is a town still in mourning. 22 people died here in the collapse, including many children. This man shows us belongings laid out in the cemetery across the street, including a christening veil, as yet uncollected. Sometimes i ask myself, does god exist . He says. Its too much, its too much. Nearly a week after this earthquake and the true scale of the devastation is still revealing itself, and thats why its feared that the Death Toll here could rise further. Some help has started to arrived here, desperately needed food and clothes. But this earthquake has turned communities upside down. Trauma that may never heal. Indias Drug Regulator has approved The Worlds first Dna Vaccine against Covid I9 for Emergency Use. The three Dose Zycov D vaccine prevented symptomatic disease in 66 of those vaccinated, according to an interim study. Previous Dna Vaccines have worked well in animals but not humans. Vaccine makers Cadila Healthcare say theyre planning to manufacture up to 120 Million doses of indias Second Home grown vaccine, every year. Doctor Syra Madad is senior director, of The System wide special Pathogens Program for new York City health hospitals shes also Principal Investigator at the Citys Center for global healthcare preparedness. Thank you for coming on the programme. I dont this is an easy task but in the simplest terms, can you explain what is this Dna Vaccine . So, the dna based vaccine that we are talking about that combat Covid I9, the way that it works is that it encodes just a small amount of genomic information, and this enters the cells and nucleus and transforms into a molecule which leaves the nucleus and is translated into the Spike Protein and when the Spike Protein means the cells that elicit an immune response so all these different types of vaccines, whether the viral fact of vaccines or the Dna Vaccine, elicits a robust response. I vaccine, elicits a robust response vaccine, elicits a robust resonse. ,. ,. , response. I ust about followed the response. I just about followed the science of response. I just about followed the science of it. Response. I just about followed the science of it. What response. I just about followed the science of it. What is response. I just about followed the science of it. What is the i the science of it. What is the advantage of this method compared to the others . It is stable and compared to the others . It is stable and relatively stable and relatively inexpensive to produce. It has good Storage Components and you dont have to use ultracold storage requirements. It is easier to produce. These all the various different benefits of using a dna based vaccine. More testing and things like that to come but how close are we to seeing this Anywhere Else . We know it has Emergency Use in india, what about the rest of The World . In the market is unclear at the time and in terms of when it will be available around The World and every country has its own regulator so here in the united states we have the fda. You look at the application and go from there. When we look at other countries they all have their own regulatory body goes to kind of process. It is unclear whether the drugmaker is going to apply in other countries to have this vaccine made available. It is good news for india because it were looking at the population there anywhere from 9 13 are unvaccinated so a large amount of the population remains unvaccinated. Is there an argument that weve got a handful of vaccines now and they are rolling out and we can concentrate our efforts and those rather than develop new ones . ,.

It is a good idea to see we can just wrap day. It is a good idea to see we canjust wrap up day. It is a good idea to see we can just wrap up the production of the vaccines using Production Capabilities that we have the existing vaccines and have more people inoculated and it needs to be discussed more globally but while we live in a globalised world every country wants to, you know, use their own scientific expertise so it is easier said than done. Thank ou. Easier said than done. Thank you you easier said than done. Thank you. You might easier said than done. Thank you. You might thank easier said than done. Thank you. You might thank you. Washington, The Worlds most political city is assessing the health of The Worlds most powerful man. Indeed i did have a relationship with her that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. In south africa, 97 people have been killed today were the worst days of violence. Over the past ten days, 500 have died. Czechoslovakia must be free russia is observing a national day of mourning for the 100 eighteenths of mariners who died of board. We are with them now in our hearts. The pope has celebrated mass before a congregation of more than two and a half million people in his hometown. Stay with us, stay with us chanted this ocean of humanity. This is bbc news, the latest headlines. Thousands of people continue to mass at kabul� s airport, in the hope of being flown out of afghanistan. It comes amid reports of executions and torture by the taliban President Biden has told the taliban any attack on the afghan Evacuation Mission would be met with force. The united states has imposed sanctions on three more cuban officials. Washington said the sanctions were in response to supposed violations of Human Rights during large anti government protests last month. Hundreds of demonstrators are still detained, following what activists say were summary trials. From havana, Will Grant Reports Tx Next the 11th Ofjuly was a day unlike any other in modern cuba. Furious over shortages of food and medicine, blackouts, inflation in the coronavirus pandemic, thousands of protesters made one demand loudest of all. Liberty, the chant. Freedom. Change. The police responded with force, led by elite troops called black parades. Among them, an estimated 800 people remained injail. They include her sun, even though he was nowhere near the protest at the time. She claims he has yet to have access to a Lawyer Meaning with lung cancer, the strain on her is obvious. I asked the police why he was being held and where. They would not tell me. She began to publicly call cuba a dictatorship and was arrested and is now facing charges too. Many families see their relatives for trade with no lawyer present. The government insists the trials were fair and will not comment on individual cases. Today, order has been restored in cuba by an ominous and constant security presence. After the Pressure Building for months finally erupted here, something fundamental appears to have shifted in Cu Ban society. A combination of Fear And Respect for the authorities perhaps irreparably weakened and it may prove to be beyond the political skills of the Post Castro Generation of leaders to fully cloth it back. One of the top leaders spent years in the us jail on spying charges. He blames the upper on the six decades long us economic embargo and denies Cuba Mistreats its detainees. He blames the upper on the six decades long us economic embargo and denies Cuba Mistreats its detainees. And what i can tell you for sure because you saw yourself in the war has seen it, you will see, you will not see in cuba we see every day in columbia and other places, war and beating people and killing people. The biden administration has talked of giving support to the cuban people but putting it to the State Department that its refusal to lift the embargo makes a mockery of the policy. This was an embargol for the cuban people, this is the cuban people themselves making demands of their government that was driven by a large part, exhaustion with the governments and the ability to meet their needs. The site of disenfranchised young men demanding an end to communism was this governments worst nightmare. And the crackdown alienated people further. And unless things improve soon, the authorities here know therell be more calls change ahead. Lets look at some of the days other news on The One Year Anniversary of the poisoning of russian Opposition Leader alexei navalny, Western Nations and russia are taking actions against one other. The us and britain have imposed further santions on russian individuals, both for the attack and russias chemical weapons programme. For their part, russian authorities have now raided more than 500 navalny supporters whose names were leaked online the head of the us Agency For International Development has warned that Food Aid in Ethiopias Tigray Region will run out this week. Samantha power has accused the government in Addis Ababa of obstructing Aid Convoys to the area, where a regional conflict is raging. Ethiopia insists its allowing aid into the area, but it must stop weapons from reaching the rebels. China has formally revised its laws to allow couples to have up to three children. The plan is to reverse falling birth rates. China abandoned its one child perfamily policy five years ago. These new measures will include scrapping financial penalties for parents who have more than two children, and offering families more support at work and with childcare. Theres growing concern in afghanistan about religious and media freedoms under the new taliban regime. The Human Rights group, amnesty international, has accused the taliban of killing nine men last month in ghazni, all from the countrys hazara minority. Eyewitnesses said three were tortured. Akram gizabi is chair of The World hazara council. It is a human Rights Organisation which works for the welfare of the hazaras in afghanistan and around the globe. Hes in washington.

When the taliban took overin over in 1996 they reportedly massacred more than 10,000 and they unfortunately, the governor of that region was killed recently and announced in the mask that people should go to uzbekistan, or tredegar stand.

But we are one third of the total population in afghanistan. Afghanistan is made up of minorities. There is no majority in the country. The reason they oppose us and massacre as a persecutors is that we are different and this is their interpretation and The System that originated in india. It is close to a system in Saudi Arabia and they are also considered as infidels so we dont have any problem with moderate muslims are moderate is firm. We have lived Side By side and be neighbours and work together, cooperated together. At all throughout history this brand of islam that they have brought to us which is a mixture, they consider as infidels so it is a reward for them to kill. Them to kill.

I always say that the taliban in moderation is a contradiction in terms. They will not moderate. They have not changed. For their pr they have to allay the fear of they have to allay the fear of the majority of the people of afghanistan but once they. Hide afghanistan but once they.

Some of that rain will be quite heavy. Saturday looks set to be the wettest day with spells of Heavy Rain and even the odd thunderstorm. Heavy rain and even the odd thunderstorm. ,. , thunderstorm. Sunday should be a bit brighter thunderstorm. Sunday should be a bit brighter with thunderstorm. Sunday should be a bit brighter with some a bit brighter with some sunshine but still one or two showers. This is the recent Satellite Picture and you can see the dry of cloud working in from the west. It is a Weather Front and it will continue to bring outbreaks of rain and instead of keeping too quickly this front is going to stick with his all day on saturday because there is this wriggle running around at that will hold the front back and stop it from clearing away quickly. Western areas are starting the day on a soggy note. Dry further east but mainly cloudy and through the day wet weather will stagger its way eastwards with heavy and possibly thundery bursts mixing in and as things brighten up for wales and Northern Scotland we will still see some scattered showers and thunderstorms popping up showers and thunderstorms popping up. Quite breezy for wales in the south west. Lighter winds elsewhere and temperatures a little disappointing for the time of year. 17 21. As we head through Saturday Night our rain will continue to stagger eastwards but you can see it tending to fizzle away and it will turn lighter and patchy and many places will start Sunday Morning on a dry note but with a lot of cloud, mist and what will be a mild and fairly muggy night. We start sunday with a low pressure. Still close to the eastern side of the uk but High Pressure beginning to build in from the south west. So that means something a little bit drier on sunday. There will be quite a lot of cloud around but it should break from time to time to give spells of sunshine and we will see some showers breaking out across scotland and parts of england. Likely to stay damp across the northern isles. Temperatures struggling a little bit. 21 or 22 degrees in the sunniest spots. Into next week this area of High Pressure establishes itself more strongly so a few are looking for drier and brighter weather, the start of next week looks quite promising. We will see some good spells of sunshine and certainly it looks mostly dry but there is no heatwave on the way. Temperatures in the lower mid 20s. In the sunshine that will feel quite pleasant.
