with an image of a taliban fighter in the cockpit of an abandoned afghan army aircraft. a newjab to reduce cholesterol is going to be rolled out to people at risk of heart attacks and strokes — according to the mirror. and the ft reports on decade—high inflation in the eurozone. so let's begin... lovely to see you both. and we are going to start off with the front of the metro. joe t, if you could kick that offers, please. i the metro. joe t, if you could kick that offers, please.— the metro. joe t, if you could kick that offers, please. i wondered how ou're that offers, please. i wondered how you're going — that offers, please. i wondered how you're going to _ that offers, please. i wondered how you're going to get _ that offers, please. i wondered how you're going to get to _ that offers, please. i wondered how you're going to get to that. - that offers, please. i wondered how you're going to get to that. not - you're going to get to that. not easy with both of us having this same first name. this is a sort of image that we've all been waiting for but also extremely worrying to see. this image that effectively the

taliban now gloating that they've get 1—over on the west because of the west the europe from afghanistan. and it's incredibly upsetting to see i think people around the world mustjust be feeling extremely saddened by this and also slightly angered. ethic a lot of us are very angry about what's happening and very concerned that the west in particular have handled this so badly. obviously the taliban have seen the last us soldier to leave and there are still people there that we haven't managed to get out. and yet they are using their opportunity to gloat and were seeing these pictures around the world. ., . ., seeing these pictures around the world. ., _, ., ., world. you could argue that it beains world. you could argue that it begins to _ world. you could argue that it begins to reveal _ world. you could argue that it begins to reveal the - world. you could argue that it begins to reveal the true - world. you could argue that it begins to reveal the true face | world. you could argue that it i begins to reveal the true face of the taliban. many of us are more familiar with rather than this reprinted version that has been put out there the last two or three weeks. joe m. out there the last two or three weeks- joe m-_ out there the last two or three weeks. joe m. yes, indeed. the -ublic weeks. joe m. yes, indeed. the public statements _ weeks. joe m. yes, indeed. the public statements to _ weeks. joe m. yes, indeed. the public statements to the - weeks. joe m. yes, indeed. thei public statements to the taliban weeks. joe m. yes, indeed. the i public statements to the taliban to say that _ public statements to the taliban to say that they have changed. it's

chris donahue who was boarding a plane leaving kabul. very striking image. quite grainy, obviously taken at night the last servicemen to leave afghanistan. and coming back to a huge, very difficult questions forjoe biden. just a very haunting solitary figure, really. we've seen some of the reports saying in tomorrow's paper is about people still arriving at the airport, they are still hoping to get out. obviously there are no flights leaving. and that man there when we've heard about how crowded it was you can see he's just on we've heard about how crowded it was you can see he'sjust on his we've heard about how crowded it was you can see he's just on his own as he steps onto the plane. which is just a sign of really what happened. before i move on tojoe m, the article itself is a reflection by a

female afghan who has only known the new afghanistan. it really does talk about the fears of what lays ahead. yes. this particular woman talks about a job she did manage to get it. she's burned herjeans because she's worried that any sign of not wearing traditional dress she will be singled out by the taliban. it's quite striking the sort of language that's used. her brother even apparently bought her a burqa because he thought it was the best thing for her to do. she's basically been spending a lot of time crying and essentially sort of eradicating any signs that should been i suppose, westernised in afghanistan. it's extremely worrying because that is one story but we know that for women in afghanistan in particular it is a very scary time i had. no matter what the taliban are saying i think most people are concerned that they are not going to just suddenly

change their position overnight. and evenin change their position overnight. and even in the coming years. they've been very fixed about their views on women and how women should or shouldn't play a part, mainly shirt and play a part in society. and that there is a very particular role that they should have. and i think in this woman's case is extremely striking. this woman's case is extremely strikinu. �* ., g ., ~ , striking. and we heard joe m, this evenin: striking. and we heard joe m, this evening president _ striking. and we heard joe m, this evening president biden _ striking. and we heard joe m, this evening president biden saying i striking. and we heard joe m, this | evening president biden saying the war in afghanistan, the us war in afghanistan is over but he did say were going to continue to speak out for human rights in the country through democracy. those words must ring hollow for women like this in afghanistan. it is so far away, as we been hearing feel rather abandoned.— we been hearing feel rather abandoned. ,. ., , ~ abandoned. yes certainly. and western leaders _ abandoned. yes certainly. and western leaders have - abandoned. yes certainly. and l western leaders have impressed abandoned. yes certainly. and - western leaders have impressed on what has _ western leaders have impressed on what has been the gains of that 20 year tenure what has been the gains of that 20 yeartenure in what has been the gains of that 20 year tenure in afghanistan. they will talk— year tenure in afghanistan. they will talk about the games that were made _ will talk about the games that were made for— will talk about the games that were made for women for education and basic— made for women for education and basic human rights, access to employment for the clearly that's a concession — employment for the clearly that's a concession that that is now it's

say well, a lot of people admitted to leave, there was no disruption of flights. and perhaps some progress has been made. but it's going to be very uncomfortable, it's all very well he was saying well, when looking at making sure there's going to be no terrorist attacks on our soil. which is of course extremely important and poignant given that we are approaching the anniversary of 9/11. however, the other issue is what happens when we start to see, if we start to see but as many expect when we start to see some atrocities in the country itself and what happens then and what do we do, we sit by and watch her do we hear more stories about like the one on the front page of the guardian? and do wejust sit the front page of the guardian? and do we just sit by and actually those stories and fear, do we see the repercussions of what would happen to some of those people? that can be extremely difficult. it should be welcomed that there are talks happening but how much faith we can put in those, who knows at this

people that received jack two vaccinations with the beginning of the year. this story talks about the fact that government advisers are resisting pressure to give the go—ahead to give jab's to teenagers. because what they want to do is concentrate that those vulnerable people who are most at risk of serious illness from covid are actually given their boosterjab. mainly because there is no concrete evidence on how long the antibodies last. there appears to be a little bit of conflict simply because this programme to vaccinate people when the existing flu vaccination programme would probably be getting under way this autumn as well. there's a lot to get through and to make sure that people are given the protection when there's lots of talk of new waves coming in new variants. so this is a really interesting story to appearjust so this is a really interesting story to appear just as schools are about to go back. when there's

already been concerns from teachers about what will happen and parents who are obviously concerned about new waves and whether they are youngsters accuracy the schooling further disrupted. there is definitely a risk to younger people and it's not that younger people are in any way immune to this wasn't the issue of vaccination is important. however, the government are looking at whether fundamentally to the dust reduce the death toll by ensuring that the most vulnerable people are covered first with a booster. it’s covered first with a booster. it's not 'ust covered first with a booster. it's not just about the vaccines is a? i notjust about the vaccines is a? i can imagine a lot of gps in an hsa "we need to know as soon as because their logistics involved here. we've also got the flu programme that needs to be considered. yes ou're that needs to be considered. yes you're completely right. it seems the afghanistan story has pushed covid _ the afghanistan story has pushed covid off— the afghanistan story has pushed covid off the front pages in the recent— covid off the front pages in the recent days and weeks. it's still a massive — recent days and weeks. it's still a massive issue and etiquettes can come _ massive issue and etiquettes can come back— massive issue and etiquettes can come back hard and the ottoman winters — come back hard and the ottoman winters. clearly boosters, will they
