Chaos plus. I really felt as though i was working in a system that didnt really care apart my own life and with i was going to make it to tomorrow. As South Africa sees another covert 19 Vaccination Setback we need a doctor who gave up her job because she no longer feel safe. And one of the most notorious poles of Wall Street passes away bernie made off the architect of the biggest Ponzi Scheme in history has died in prison at the age of 82. Im sorry Kelly Welcome to the program. President Joe Biden is pulling american forces out of the longest war in u. S. History troops will leave afghanistan by the symbolic date of September 11th and washingtons nato allies will also be pulling out speaking at the white House Biden said that the Bush Drawl will begin next month and ends before the 20th anniversary of the 911. 00 terror attacks u. S. Forces have been fighting in afghanistan for 2 decades. Biden says that the american involvement in the long Running Conflict has been unsustainable. We cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in afghanistan hoping to create ideal conditions for thE Drawl and expecting a different result and now the 4th united States President to preside over american Troop Presence in afghanistan to republicans to democrats i will not pass this responsibility on to a 5th after consulting closely with our allies and partners with our military leaders and intelligence personnel with our diplomats and our development experts with the congress and the Vice President as well as with mr ghani and many others around the world i concluded that its time to end americas longest war its time for american troops to come home and for more on this hi im joined now by bound to regard to in brussels walk us through thE Details of this pullout of troops from afghanistan what happens next. For the plans for the Rest Royal drawn up 4 months already by the militarys its a load just a challenge but its to ability has been done before 10 years ago there were 100000 troops in afghanistan which if they didnt pull it out then so its not a just a good but more Security Challenge because the military is very varied the taliban might strike on the pulling out troops and this is difficult to protect so the bridges we have for example the german militarys considering to bring in additional combat troops for short periods of time to protect the troops while they go out in the book to say wants to leave in august and the last one to leave to be the americans they shut thE Door in september because they are actually the backbone of the peroration and they have to have the arms and you mentioned the german presence i want to talk about you know the Nato Alliance broadly speaking because we know that the secretary general stoltenberg pledged back in february that those troops would not leave afghanistan before the time is right what do nato members make of this pullout. But in the end all 30 member states agreed to this pullout to because they had to actually the americans in the Drivers Seat here but there were also some concerns among nato members that that say the conditions that nato talked about in march not met the Security Level in afghanistan is not that high as it should be and so theres also the feeling that nato somewhat abandons afghanistan after 20 years and leaves it in the ok that the taliban for their part they say that this is actually in violation of thE Deal that the u. S. Signed with the taliban last year and so id like to ask you have not contacts they want the troops withdrawn sooner. What does all of this mean for peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban. The peace talks are basically over because the taliban said they will not return to the table until all the troops have left afghanistan and the government in kabul is not controlling all of the country the taliban are already there so the government is unstable and this will of course raise the level of instability in the afghanistan. The americans will stay there was a small amount of troops in kabul and there would also finance the military and the police of afghanistan and the other photos as an attempt to stabilize the country but build that be enough nobody knows battery or with a view from brussels thank you. And as weve been hearing there from bad to many questions about what sort of state this leaves afghanistan and this Plant Troop Pullout this decision by the by the administration could ramp up pressure on the taliban and the afghan government to reach a Peace Deal potentially still there are fears that the country could collapse into a brutal civil war once the u. S. Troops leave and those nato forces here is how the announcement was received in afghanistan the news broke on in the national holiday its ramadan and in the streets of kabul many were on their way to the mosque or to do some last Minute Shopping to break the fast after dark. Nobody here expected the u. S. Announcement of its Troop Withdrawal. By the Bidens Decision took me completely by surprise as i think it did all afghans. Its definitely not the right time to withdraw u. S. And all other foreign troops from the country and. For the us its a historic decision after 20 years the longest of a conflict the us military has been involved in will come to an end and with it thE Deployment of all other allied troops there are still 10000 soldiers stationed here mostly to consult and support afghan security personnel what will they leave behind parliamentarian and womens Rights Activist Naheed Fareed is concerned Rebel Item may have to act as the math this hasty decision to pull out u. S. Troops plunges afghanistan into a deep crisis but it could trigger another civil war brawny commit to one. Have view is shared by many international Experts Security in afghanistan has deteriorated dramatically. An agreement the Trumpet Ministration reached with the taliban in february last year failed to bring any peace. 20 years after they were expelled by the u. S. And its allies the taliban now control nearly half the country over the last few months they have repeatedly threatened war. After the u. S. Announcement the taliban spokesperson demanded the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops and announce that the taliban wont take part in any further peace negotiations. After 20 years of international military engagement and billions of financial aid the u. S. And its allies set to leave behind a country that remains one of the poorest and most unstable in the world. And lets get the perspective from afghanistan on this matter im joined now by latif a journalist in Kabul Afghanistan thank you so much for joining us we heard in that report the fear among some that this Troop Withdrawal could potentially even lead to civil war how valid is this concern it certainly concerns a concern thats been around since 2013 but really right now a lot of the talk in the country is just sort of this is an answer you know people are expecting some kind of an answer from the United States but its an answer that leads to more questions. Its more worry its more uncertainty and people just kind of feel like you know is going to be 4 more months of worry for more months of wondering whats going to happen next so its not really any kind of a solid answer its an answer that leads to more questions what has been happening there on the ground because you know we we have reports in the past year there has been this surge in violence especially targeted killings among civilians among among women among you know civil society groups people and journalists judges for example walk us through whats been happening there on the ground and what its been like for civilians. This is exactly the prez now were at a state where like ill give you an Example Couple months ago i traveled to logout province which is about 40 minutes south of kabul and that province has always been unstable its always been in secure its always been plagued with. Poverty but and in the past when we would go to logout we would be afraid of mines along the way and the iranians this time when we came back to kabul thE Driver said welcome back to kabul the land of landmines and i E D so thats really how badly the situation has changed to the point where the city of kabul feels just as unsafe as any other province in the country right now and you know 2 other provinces that have spent a lot of time in over the last couple years knowing are in the east hate often the west both have become remarkably. Safe over the last couple years with there are we have the city of jalalabad becoming less and less safe as the socalled islamic state forces move away from thE District and more towards the provincial capital and then in the city of herat we have in the province of it out we have both the provincial capital the city becoming unsafe and districts that were you know no problem to go to only a year and a half 2 years ago becoming complete no go zones and these are 2 of the biggest most important commercial economic cobbs of the country that are becoming less and less secure along with kabul ok so really a terrier writing Security Situation herE Describing there and tell us also about i mean you know there are thousands of afghans who have helped the u. S. And its 20 Year War in the country what happens to them now does this move now put them in greater danger because presumably they have a target on their back from the taliban. Theyre absolutely have a target on their back from the taliban and they were given promises by the United States by the u. K. By other countries that they helped that they would be brought in that they would be given visas but there are so many letters still waiting and they are under threat obviously from the taliban there are some who left their posts in the military who also feel under threat from the military in from the government they feel under threat of arrest with these targeted killings that you know people are claiming responsibility for that creates even more fear for them of who could kill them who could arrest them. And clearly you know its a very real issue and its something that you know as the u. S. Is ending its longest war here it also has to take responsibility for the people that work for them the put their lives in danger and that are at risk every moment that theyre in this country to provide them some kind of assistance and actually bring them to the United States as they promised. The following the situation on the ground for us in afghanistan joining us from kabul thank you so much for your reporting. Thank you. Now the german chancellor Angela Merkel and u. S. President Joe Biden are back in calls meantime for russia to halt its troop build up along the border with ukraine there are fears that the 7 Year Conflict between Russia And Ukraine could flare up again t. F. Says that moscow and sent thousands of soldiers to the Border Region Nato says that russia must stop what it calls aggressive Provocations Merkel and biden spoke by phone. Lets take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world the editors of a russian Student Magazine that covered nationwide protests supporting jailed Opposition Leader Alexina Vali have been charged with incitement to charges stem from a video documenting intimidation and threats against students the editors could face 3 years in person. The u. S. Police officer who shot and killed Dante Right and unarmed black man has been arrested prosecutors plan to charge Kimberly Potter with 2nd Degree Manslaughter she faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted the incident has sparked 3 nights of unrest in the city of minneapolis well as weve been reporting the rollout of the Johnson And Johnson vaccine has been paused in the u.

Oh ok 6 of us still ads dangerous as they were when i checked the Intake Top you know which i feel is a huge problem. And shows that after all these years you know the lives of some of us a former colleague made this video of supply here she is wearing full personal protective equipment but she says that in the hospital where she worked it was either not available or inadequate sifaka worked in intensive care and as a midwife shes been at home since she left at the end of the year even though she feels guilty about leaving she believes shE Did the right thing. Medical staff are badly needed but her life has to come 1st. Hundreds of doctors and nurses in South Africa have already died from covert 19. I really felt as though i was working in a system that didnt really care about my own life and without was going to make it to tomorrow or not you know especially seeing all the how with this dying the tributes online going out but think thats going to be unix. Those fears are justified only a few 100000. 00 people in South Africa have been vaccinated there arent enough doses to go around at the current rate it would take 16 years to back snaith the whole population South Africa would like to manufacture its own vaccines but the patents are all registered overseas the only Way Id go back is if id be able to control. You know my exposure to illnesses you know if i am exposed to illnesses make sure that i have the correct effective p. P. To. Sit on the also needs to be vaccinated but while shes no longer working as a doctor shE Doesnt mind waiting.

This hospital in gaza one point had to turn people because they had john out of. The past few days many hospitals in this area including the one right behind me face up over 1000 Vaccine Shortage why some of. The number of people they were vaccinated every other stop the Vaccination Process entirely for a few days these are both came at a time when several states in the country are. Including at the moment if the State Hospital did receive its stock in fact seem to day after having gone for nearly a week without people hopeful they can get the job. Well there was some hesitancy to get vaccinated earlier the past few weeks have seen demand increased rapidly. People have started coming. For. Their wars and. India is recording and alarming number of new coronavirus cases every day and infections are now spreading much faster as Hospital Scramble to increase capacity there are clear signs the indian Health Care Sector is again coming under said.

And meritorious joining us now with a view from Delhi Marrow we heard there from thE Doctor he said the numbers are mind boggling the 3rd wave a tsunami we know india is producing vaccines on its own how quickly can these efforts be ramped up but it has become a matter of concern and why there is not final word on how we begin to wrap up the manufacturer but i dont know what the end of the spirit is today i would just like suspecting that actual clearly stated last week that we are short youre not able to produce vaccines to match thE Domestic demand which is consistent raising or so to say see how but the same be the spreading not also said that they need the industry needs a lot of the only true god and the manufacturer of the vaccine good to go it also needs to look at it study nations and approval processes that needs to happen the Government Hadnt gotten a tricky situation because thE Domestic did divide that sort of quite a lot and now that up questions are also being raised against the law and its all of that in the go and meet the surgery but it certainly is a population of people and all of the right to actually the acting head of Tennessee Hello that was there was no dont you are intrigued by that thats an easy so there is a tricky situation and theres an immense pressure on an overseas strain to Health Care System what are authorities saying december after russia. Well you know get some again looks at the big on the left there are reports every day or 2 or 3 states where the Health Care Infrastructure is getting mostly although that the government especially the state governments all of it but what theyrE Doing it theyre trying to grapple very well the restrictions theyre trying to do in areas like back which wards and looks at the school is hE Doing a shift i solution for example if they just look at those locations that are very serious right now well you know the employer that the government the state governments are meeting to reducE Distress but thats up to people trust us Efforts Money or do they still trust the government to get the situation under control and then i can tell you that there is a great criticism because it is evident that the government the national government is allowing. All mail at that point to which is the largest to the richest that was born in not india where there are hundreds of thousands of people and will always go to college big oil there are also reports of people telling destitute what to do and this Fear Agassi Danby has what went so elections and the national government the national body the ship itself.
