the mastermind behind 911 was finally tracked down and killed and. although most u.s. troops were withdrawn in 2014 successive presidents have been trying to find a way to leave afghanistan altogether. but it's hard the taliban is in control over much of the country. and women are already seeing many of their hard won rights rolled back. their almost weekly attacks on afghan forces and civilians alike. this is no peace. despite this donald trump promised all u.s. forces would be out by may the 1st this year president biden also wants troops home but in coordination with nato allies we still have fountains of personnel there. wired ministration strongly supports the diplomatic prague process is

underway and to bring an end to this war that is closing in 20 years. although he won't meet trumps may deadline september is the new date. a month but more mark 20 years of a costly war with little victory to tool called. let's take a closer look now we can speak to journalist in couple and we have good ever used standing by for us in brussels as well good to see both terry let's start with you we see in the u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken is in brussels meeting with nato allies and earlier today he essentially said for the u.s. it's mission accomplished what do you think we can expect and how this withdrawal is going to be coordinated. this is a huge question sumi and it's the question that struck fear in the hearts of allies

when president trump was making unilateral decisions about how to pull out u.s. troops and when and this is because while 3 quarters of the troops on the ground now in afghanistan are not u.s. forces the u.s. has all of the capabilities that these forces need to to maintain their own security much less the security of afghans on the ground and so the u.s. really needs to keep these enablers as they're called in place in afghanistan until the rest of the forces the other nations have pulled out their own troops and this is something that is going to have to be coordinated very carefully and it's very difficult to to figure out the order in which you can pull out resources to keep the others on the ground safe ali you know this is being called the paradigm shift so give us an idea of how this news is going down in afghanistan. in afghanistan you know people who are awaiting the state they want to you know tell

at least know that you know it is so long it's been talked about as a possibility but this is the 1st time that a specific date has been pointed but the fear right now is that because there are no conditions attached to this withdrawal just as terry was saying it's going to be very difficult you know to take for our troops out and how to manage that you know people and i'm honest on are asking the same question in the sense that if you have no conditions on the tolerable because you know it's been conditions on the government you know we're going to put pressure on them because the u.s. funds the government right but what are the conditions on the taliban how can we be sure that on september 12th the taliban won't just start launching attacks won't take over won't you know come back to power sort of. that's really the question here it's not as if people want them to stay any longer it's just a matter of how they're leaving and whether or not they're doing that appropriately

ok terry let's come back to you to talk about the nato perspective here because 2 months ago we saw nato stoltenberg saying there would be no premature withdrawal of nato troops so what has changed what secretary general stoltenberg always says is that we won't leave before the time is right and clearly they've decided the time is right whenever the u.s. decides it wants to leave and i think that it will be very interesting to hear how secretary blinken and other u.s. officials explain mission accomplished because what i see is changes is mostly rhetorical the taliban control half of the country i don't think the us said going into this war that that was one of their goals so i would say that what has changed is the u.s. deciding it's ready to come home on the ground attacks are up journalists are being slaughtered in the streets there are you know even more taliban the taliban believes that it is winning this war it says this it's its propaganda says this i

don't know how the u.s. is going to spin this but it's going to take some serious spinning and i'll leave that brings us back to you a lot of questions being asked about what this means for the afghan people and women's groups in particular are raising the alarm they believe this withdrawal will mean that some of the hard won gains that women made could now be completely reversed so what do you think this withdrawal might mean for afghan women. you know it's an issue for afghan women it's an issue for young people as an issue for ethnic minorities for religious minorities the fact that you know yes there have been a lot of advances in the country you know in terms of physically in terms of development and things like that and a lot of got rights have either been gained or regained in the last 20 years but what we're seeing is that you know now is the time for the government to show its strength and its capability because we still have me jewish is we have issues with the rights of women you know a deputy minister recently spoke out about the issue she she faced in the ministry

of interior we have issues in terms of minority rights we have issues in terms of proper democracy mark are seen people feeling as if their votes are actually being counted and of course issues of security so people are very afraid in the sense that you know yes those things can dissipate but more than anything it's a question of how will the government fill in that gap even if the taliban doesn't take over how will the government actually account for you know the previous mistakes and try and move on without the outside support that it's been so reliant on up until now journalist ali let a couple and teri schultz for us in a brossel thank you both for your insights and let's get around about some other stories from around the world at least 20 children were killed in a fire at a primary school in the western african state of nj air numerous other children were injured most of them were still attending preschool the fire destroyed several classrooms and blocked exits its causes still unknown authorities have launched an

investigation. south korea has condemned neighboring japan's plan to release treated radioactive water from the fukushima nuclear plant in 2 years' time so has asked officials to explore possible international litigation against japan but tokyo says disposing of the water in the pacific ocean is safe and essential in order to decommission fukushima. iran says it will start enriching uranium up to 60 percent purity a big step towards weapons grade uranium tehran made the announcement 2 days after an explosion it blames on israel hits a key nuclear facility the islamic republic denies that it is seeking to build a nuclear bomb. the rollout of the johnson and johnson vaccine has been paused in the u.s. europe and south africa after reports of rare blood clotting in a very small number of people health authorities said they were halting the use of the shot while they investigate the cases and that they were doing this out of an abundance of caution the astra zeneca job was also recently temporarily suspended

in some countries after being linked to where blood clots. authorities are calling it a short pause u.s. is johnson and johnson vaccine has hit the same stumbling block as the u.k.'s astra zeneca job did last month a likely link to a rare and deadly blood clot use of johnson and johnson's janson vaccine has now been halted across the u.s. with health authorities investigating 6 incidents of clotting in younger women one of them siegel. the u.s. developed a vaccine uses an adenovirus to trigger immunity the same mechanism as the astra zeneca vaccine janson accounts for roughly 5 percent of vaccines delivered so far in the u.s. . so i had a j. and j. vaccine appointment today and. i saw the news about it getting kind of revoked so i called and i asked and they said you can get the pfizer vaccine instead of my wife

just 10 days after that said that 3 days ago and so you know i'm hoping that i did not think that it's going to happen you know you know anybody that budget. this is a setback to europe to johnson and johnson announced it will delay its rollout on the continent the company had already started processing an order from the e.u. of 200000000 doses. in your magic i imagine there will be repercussions as we're waiting for millions of doses but this means the controls are working if we need to be cautious we need to be cautious. in. the janssen job has been partially rolled out in africa where a majority of countries don't have enough vaccines even for their own health care workers the african union signed a deal for 220000000 doses this year but u.s. authorities remain hopeful they're saying it could only be a matter of days before the rollout resumes. as we just heard the suspension of the

johnson and johnson shot has dealt another huge blow to south africa vaccination rollout in february the country already stopped the use of the astra zeneca vaccine after it showed low efficacy against an aggressive local virus variant biotech pfizer apps will only arrive next month and experts have warned of a looming 3rd wave the situation at hospitals is already spiraling out of control for patients and for health care workers in our next report we need a doctor who had had enough of what she says are unsafe working conditions. doctors so little was sick from but is wary of vaccines 9 years ago when she was 21 she became ill with tuberculosis despite having been inoculated against it before coronavirus vaccines reached south africa she resigned from her post in a public hospital because she didn't feel safe anymore. oh ok senses are still ads

as they were when i checked it. takes you top you know which i feel is a huge problem. and shows that after all these years you know the guides are somewhat of. 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 sit for worked in intensive care and as a midwife she's 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 cope at 19. i really felt as though i was working in a system that didn't really care about my own life and without was going to make it

to tomorrow night you know especially seeing all the how. it's dying the tributes online you can now but think that's going to be you mix. those fears are justified only a few $100000.00 people in south africa have been vaccinated there aren't enough doses to go around at the current rate it would take 16 years to vaccinate the whole population south africa would like to manufacture its own vaccines but the patents are all registered overseas the only way i'd go back is if i would be able to control. you know my exposure to illnesses you know and if i am exposed to illnesses make sure that i have a corrects effective. system to also needs to be vaccinated but while she's no longer working as a doctor she doesn't mind waiting. let's get some perspective on the story with howard catton he is the c.e.o. of the international council of nurses which recently held

a weapon are with african health workers howard thank you very much for joining us we mentioned earlier that the johnson and johnson vaccine has been suspended and that that is having a big impact on the roll out of course in south africa how concerned are you about the situation there. the situation with johnson and johnson as your report said the precautionary we're being ultra cautious about this we know people were worried about the speed of the rollout of vaccines this is the scrutiny in the checks really really working so we need to stay calm on this and we need to give the scientists the time to look at the information and advise us and also nurses driven by the evidence on this that there are 6 cases out of i think 6000000 so far whether there's a causal link hasn't been determined as well so we need to see what the scientists have to say but when vaccines are approved as being safe and effective i would say

that health workers not be prioritized because your report shown they are a higher risk the infection rates in the deaths of months nurses and health workers has been really high said the vaccine is about protecting their safety and when we protect our nurses and eye health workers we protect our health systems as well we saw in a report a doctor who said she essentially quit because she didn't feel safe in her job and she said that health workers lives were not being protected so what do doctors and nurses need to be protected when they work. they need to be prioritized for vaccinations we are hearing from africa around the world nurses health workers who are exhausted and some of whom are scared i think the biggest challenge the world is currently facing is the equitable access of vaccine in delivery of faxon's what's happened is that wealthy countries have used their economic power to order why a move for millions more vaccines than they need and across the range of vaccines

it's a form of hoarding and control the consequences of that are that we are seeing people who are less fundable and younger in some countries being vaccinated before nurses and health workers in the more vulnerable in other countries there is an absence of moral leadership here and people will die more people will die as a result of this so we need political leaders around the world to step up and to lead ethically and morally but also you know the irony is here it is in their self interest to ensure there is equity there are real race here is against the mutations of the virus and vaccinating everybody it's not a national race it's a global rice you say it's in their best interest so what is your message to wealthy countries the governments in these countries of why they need to make sure that health workers in the developing countries are vaccinated that everyone is

vaccinated quickly. they need to do that want to debate the virus to stop the mutations to stay ahead of it to enable global trade and economic regress we're all interconnected we won't do that until we defeat the virus do you know something like 7909 percent of doses of covariate are imported into africa help africa to increase the manufacturing of the vaccine within its own country share step up to the ethical plight and way you have over all did share that as well make sure that people are supported to put the plans in place to roll out the vaccine and one thing that we mustn't lose sight of we still have to do the face by social distancing the vaccines are not the answer on their own i have to leave it there howard catton c.e.o. of the international council of nurses thank you very much for joining us thank you . now the white police officer who shot a black driver in a scuffle in the u.s.

state of minnesota has resigned the chief of police also offer to terminate his employment the mayor said he hoped that this would help to calm the situation but protesters took to the streets for the 3rd night in a row on tuesday despite a curfew tensions are also being sealed by the trial of the police officer charged with killing george floyd in the same city. minneapolis remains a city on edge for a 3rd day people gathered to protest the death of yet another black man at the hands of a police officer i. don't hear right was shot have to use arrested during a traffic stop. police say body count footage of the officer who shot him shows that she mistook head gun for her taser shooting night by accident.

the animations are only a few seconds long yet they seem endless the trick is to edit them into seamlessly . the swedish artist has already programmed more than 150 digital works of art drawing on 20 years of experience as a graphic designer and 3 d. artist. he sketches out his ideas over the course of several days or sometimes even weeks. i try to base my work on. simple objects and simple shapes and try to keep my scenes as minimalistic as possible and to focus on the movements and on the and the feeling of the movements and the pattern the motion pattern. once the concept is finished vanished it needs less than a day to program his digital creations using cinema for decent where it's important to him to share his art online and receive feedback about what users like and

dislike. the funniest thing about this is a lot of people think i'm actually building physical models of physical sculptures and everything i create is digital. everything i do this is done in my free to software but i still get emails pretty much every day from people who wants to buy them and the things that are actually building this. he posted his 1st animation on instagram in 2016 since then he's gained more than 650000 followers and players vanished it's works are hugely popular. one day i received 50000 followers in one day only if there are. many people say has animations have a soothing effect and can reduce stress levels. german psychiatry stress researcher actually explains why.
