contest of the cathedral's. approach well on d w. this is g.w. news live from berlin the us and nato announced they're pulling their troops out of afghanistan starting may 1st president biden says all u.s. troops will be back home by september 11th bringing an end to america's longest war but reactions in afghanistan are mixed with some fearing the exit could jeopardize the gains made in democracy and women's rights. in other vaccination set back in
7:01 am
south africa with the use of the astra zeneca vaccine is already on hold now the suspension of the johnson and johnson vaccine is another huge blow for the country and its fight against hope at 19. and the tiny particles making a very big noise in the world of physics yuans make matter what scientists say what really matters is the way that they move this could help explain some of the biggest mysteries of the universe. i'm all meanies of it's good to have you with us u.s. president joe biden has announced all american forces will be withdrawn from afghanistan by september 11th biden said the troop withdrawal will begin on may 1st and be completed before the 20th anniversary of the 911 terror attacks his announcement affirms his predecessor donald trump's agreement with the taliban but goes against the advice of his own defense department. it's already the longest
7:02 am
conflict in u.s. history now president biden has announced it's time for u.s. troops to leave the country where the 911 terrorist plot was hatched. i'm 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 to move is hugely controversial critics say it's an expression of fatigue and that the u.s. is a bet on doing afghanistan to the islamist taliban but biden says time's up. and look i know there are many who a lot of the insist that the plan was he cannot succeed without a robust u.s. military presence to stand his leverage we gave that argument a decade. it's never proved effective. not when we had 98000 troops in afghanistan. and america's nato allies said afterwards they're joining the u.s.
7:03 am
in heading for the exits. i decided that we will start that would draw all of the support mission forces by may 1st some afghans welcome the withdrawal of foreign troops but others fear their departure will leave people here even more vulnerable to sort of whatever when he says the only thing that all people want but if foreign troops stay here the realization of peace in afghanistan will be impossible their presence will continue to cause problems but about it leaving in a time line. not a new year with the negotiations we haven't received and that they meant with the fall of one would not be responsible and it would. cost us losing everything we were worth and put that in the past 20 years afghanistan's president says the
7:04 am
country's military is fully capable of defending the afghan people that pledge will likely soon be tested. from washington i'm joined now by d.w. correspondent carolyn and she more carolina thanks for joining us so biden here is basically following through with a plan set by his predecessor president donald trump can we say that this is a bipartisan decision in some way. no anerley i mean republicans as well as democrats are really divided in this issue in a statement on the senate floor minority leader republican mitch mcconnell said for example about the plan is reckless and a grave mistake he said this is a sign of retreat in the face of the enemy and other republicans joined him in his in this critic saying this is a computer lation from the u.s. and from the international side but also some democrats criticized president
7:05 am
biden's decision saying that this could to motivate the taliban to disability the country so no this is definitely not a bipartisan decision and it divides both parties is this also explains why it is a decision that was a made by former president donald trump and it's now happening under a democratic president and our joe biden. now walk us through the details of that withdrawal here what happens between now and september 11th when they're supposed to leave. while the troops are going to leave afghanistan grafter leave they are not going to to leave the country all at once and we also know that this is going to happen in a coordinated way with nato with international troops space in afghanistan following this and nato mantra in to gather all together president biden also announced today that a certain number of u.s. troops is going to remain in afghanistan in order to secure the u.s.
7:06 am
embassy in kabul were diplomats u.s. diplomats will be vulnerable of course if security gets bad in afghanistan but we still don't know how many troops will stay in afghanistan and how dangerous the situation might get september 11th is the deadline as you said to withdraw the troops but this means this might also be completed before that symbolic date. symbolic is right now the trump administration that signed a deal with the taliban last year that essentially acknowledge that the taliban will be playing a role in the future of afghanistan is there a sense there in the u.s. that this is somehow a defeat. well that is definitely narrative of the taliban in afghanistan and they say they won this war and that this is why the u.s. and international troops are leaving the country but the narrative on this is that
7:07 am
the war has been long enough 20 years is a very long time and this is america's longest war and then not only that this war has cost millions of dollars because president biden has big plans for this country after having passed for example that relief package of almost 2 trillion he's now planning on infrastructure bill that could also cost $2.00 trillion dollars so he needs that money in order to to reset to the u.s. agenda tome and of course a war is never a popular. correspondent carolina chinmoy in washington thanks let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. minnesota police officer who shot and killed dante wright an unarmed black man has been arrested prosecutors plan to charge him early potter with 2nd degree manslaughter she faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted incident has prompted 3 nights of

7:09 am
were halting the use of the shot while they investigate the case the suspension has dealt another huge blow to south africa's 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 jobs are only due to arrive next month and experts have warned of a looming 3rd wave situation in hospitals is already becoming dire there for patients and for health workers in our next report we need a doctor who said she'd had enough of what she says are unsafe working conditions. doctor so little was sick from by is wary of vaccines 9 years ago when she was 21 she became ill with tuberculosis despite having been inoculated against it before corona virus 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 adds
7:10 am
to the parents as they were when i checked the intake top you know which i feel is a huge problem it's a huge problem and shows that after all these years you know the odds of how it looked 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 sits on the work 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
7:11 am
to tomorrow not you know especially seeing all the health workers dying the tributes on line you can help but think that that's going to be a unix. 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'd be able to control you know. my exposure to illness is you know if i am exposed to illnesses make sure that i have the corrects effect of people. sit on the also needs to be vaccinated but while she's no longer working as a doctor she doesn't mind waiting. now physicists are excited about what could be
7:12 am
a major breakthrough in our understanding of the universe and all asked to do with the behavior of subatomic particles called new ones experiments at a lab near the u.s. city of chicago have shown that neurons move at a rate that's faster than expected potentially unlocking the secrets of a previously undiscovered 5th force of nature. this could be the door to a whole new world of physics for years researchers have been using this ring made of super conducting magnets to accelerate the tiniest building blocks of matter called nuance until they're almost as fast as the speed of light that's when i can observe how you want to interact with other forces and particles. and the results show that beyond actually behave completely different to how current theory says they should up until now something called the standard model explained all subatomic particles and they characteristics such as charge mass and lifespan
7:13 am
but scientists have observed that the behavior of these new on suggest particles and forces exist outside of this theory. everything that we can see in our universe everything around us can be explained by a few building blocks these blocks describe the standard model of particle physics . one group of these particles makes up matter. of the others transfer force this theory can explain 3 of these forces but the full force of gravity can't be explained and that's why this is the force that keeps planets in their orbits and data fix everything that has mass. when the universe was created by the big bang these 4 forces combined that's why
7:14 am
the standard model can't explain what exactly happened at the beginning of time. the myans experiments could help us plug these fundamental gaps in our scientific knowledge and help us solve mysteries that have been confusing astrophysicists for decades. but 1st more exact measurements and testing needs to be carried out to make sure the myans unexplained behavior really can be attribute it to a known particles forces. in the champions league quarter finals manchester city have beaten dortmund 2 to one to advance to the next round jude bellingham opened the scoring for dormant after 15 minutes but in the 2nd half riyadh marez fired in a penalty for city and phil fold netted their 2nd and were the last german team left in the tournament also on wednesday real madrid held liverpool to

7:16 am
28th on t.w. . i met a boss the great franco iranian photojournalist 20 years ago we made a book together. a beautiful thing of who my boss photographed the world for 60 years and to bearing witness to all the major events of our time for snacks unaided by his unique vision in a career i suggested we make a film about his work he said it was too soon and refused to be filmed the truth he said one only made such a film right before dying. on a few shows the. 20 years went by and abbas said if you
7:17 am
still want to make the film now is the time we don't have much time find a team fast and we'll start. about my about. a boss died a week after we finished shooting the smell. one of ok ready ready to go by spoke about take one. given you but i'm all for the love home you know so most was on 3 i really became a photographer in 1968 when i saw this photo a lot i knew i'd be
7:18 am
a photographer. because my own future is that it is there when this city creature that's what i call a suspended moment remarks responded. to their version by the time not freezing a situation i'm suspending it true i don't remember if i wanted to seem like the subject kept doing things after the picture of all her life with of. about a bicycle just in we make the film together he knew he wouldn't see up and actions and i'd have to do that alone minister. i asked him to choose that hand of his symbolic names. here also sadly violence and fear is the biggest chapter in my work there won't
7:19 am
come i. must persia book real the yellow because i've covered a lot of violence. i admit that i was fascinated with violence but i sort of want to get also not just the flat out violence of battlefield that's a revolution this guy but also violence toward animals you know put on sound. live your laws over islands of religion you're also mayor when i started my work on god of war they were the photos speak for themselves it was shield you. quickly put the parliament. hope how i have every issue but when you're working you don't think there's no time for emotions. i must have an emotional screen between what i see and myself but your it doesn't mean i'm emotional less it just means i react
7:20 am
later in the what goes into my subconscious. when it comes back. nightmares like time bombs. that they'll go. to is what i put up that emotional scream but sometimes when i saw children suffering i broke down leisure car it happened several times. this was in sarajevo and the medical they brought in the body of a boy killed by a serbian bomb. i couldn't help it but it. was headhunted it's hard to comprehend that you were there at that age at 26
7:21 am
photographing someone else's war but how did you handle that if i want to go travelling is a photographer you just do it's the job at image you don't ask those questions although it's a job you don't ask those questions could you post your talking about courage about how it takes courage which could courage often comes down to a lack of imagination he was. very often because who. said but at that age you think you're immortal. so she didn't even him almost i didn't previously remember becoming mortal during the iranian revolution in 197879 votes on these years on these enough. when i went out in the morning i wasn't sure i'd make it all. go through very numb when i go to vietnam or bangladesh i'm concerned otherwise i
7:22 am
wouldn't go that concerned as a photographer and the only hope but in iran it was different i was both concerned and involved because it was my country and my people my revolution that 1st before it was hijacked so you believed in it i was here of course but maybe there was a tipping point for me along. with this was the moment i remember it clearly was he could who are they could put me in the 1st 4 generals of the shah's army who were executed after a secret trust i thought about us and this is no longer europe aleutian covered as best you can but it's not yours. since i want to call able to show this was before the revolutions victory wind from you can see a woman being lynched because the militants thought she was a supporter of the shah in the superdome. the more i remember well how they were running and i was running backwards and taking photographs. for the football game
7:23 am
play and there's always someone who says no photos no photos sort of and i responded in tossing off our seniors who are history thought he has supported the word history flipped a switch in their heads as though the photo wouldn't be published right away so the political police wouldn't round them up at night he could have put he's putting those get by when i said history i mean they let me be going to see quarter uses the police who are you mr punk you. look problem said taking the picture wasn't the problem. the problem was whether to show it right away i wanted to see my friends and i would meet at night and talk about our days. it was my friend said a bus you can't show that photograph from crisis to tarnishing the revolution but you're right the time people said the violence only came from the shows regime to show you can show that to a public chris i said sorry but although i may be for the revolution it was early
7:24 am
on that but i'm also a photographer with a responsibility as a journalist and a target for myself and to my readers there's already said i'm showing it right away maybe there is it with which i won't quit with sweet. i wonder enough from the at one point the woman fainted or do we. now made the army intervene so that. i was in for a cold i was taking a picture on the sly because it was dangerous my view it would have been worth it and a soldier saw me and came at me with a grenade on his rifle i was afraid he would set it off if he had i wouldn't be here for 3 i didn't give him the history spend i just left the ship by the year. but i thought. to punish you a little 1st day of filming and it just they didn't i tried not to push our boss to talk if he didn't want to i had this strange feeling that we were all trying to get
7:25 am
7:26 am
put your foot was in the 1st photos of khomeini. well mobile home you can really see that tension inside. your personality. you bangladesh in bangladesh. you can see this demonstration by the islamists who want to real law instead of the civil code so critical to the media i'm going to get in their faces say it all. and then we'll see consequences suppose oh yeah that's why this photo comes afterward like. surgery number the consequences were that this young man lost both legs because fanatics put a bomb in a movie theater because movies are illicit he lost both legs. committed muslims don't have a monopoly on fanaticism it is. sit there seventies this is a snake handler service not to say a mouse it's a cult which thinks that if you're
7:27 am
a believer you're getting this from the bible and nothing can happen to you just so that i be able to see only clearing poison or get bitten by a better miss next and be just fine by this when you move during the service with music playing and you get out of any mistake and pass it around when you move the bus along it's quite something a. question or. photograph photograph is a greek for someone who writes with light clearly clearly but it can also mean someone who draws with lighter overall viewing got him oh so he could they seem. so. obvious almost nobody but. they supply them with employee roles and so many of you. think i said well look i mean i would
7:28 am
. intake i'm sent here by the highlights. of the moment is when i was an out the left wing of. the r.c.a. told my daughter his girl you met my song. nearly what. he also he. left it up to me yearly and has opened warmly showed. the lapita people still post on their list i was able to call you. and all of us here we can move on to humiliation. in sheets and there was one situation in which i really felt what the palestinians feel that sick of daily humiliation or do you really as sure question here it was in gaza city. is a less street after an attack the israeli army had cut off the road. what is it is
7:29 am
so the palestinians had to travel along the beach if i was with my driver and i said it's the exodus sigs that he says you know now this is judgment day no one knows sort of the old regime and the army. and i was a war since you know my sense is the greatest humiliation in my series in 1998 welcome aboard the iranian revolution in apartheid era south africa. those who had a writing club you see blacks white woman and in need everyone in their place. or show put you see a police dog training school in me says the astonishing thing was that way it was all the targets were black it in all my level they thought that was normal. enough for talkie somebody says to me the photo that symbolized apartheid i mean
7:30 am
the humiliation of apartheid was this one on one corner and there was a kernel from the black police academy. kids away standing in front of shirtless future policeman sitting there yeah in fact i didn't suggest going there was a they offered us and some as i arrived the information service said it was welcome mr abbas how about photographing the police academy i thought it would harm my small propaganda. using theo and i decided to go and ask for something in exchange because they were proud of their school. so we went to visit the school he could all want to leave they were all running working out. and then something clicked in my head. he wasn't the right set up this year so it was interesting because of what i needed to pose them for actually for us manassas along the way i asked the police academy director why don't you stand in front of your students. when you look at
7:31 am
the guy from the information service or spy agency you gave me ok i go so he stood up in front with his stick. and i don't like some stick. it said what we did really cause one who came to symbolize apartheid. i think they deeply regret it having invited me to that school because the photo was on magazine covers bus occurs. early here member mule i'll get the but i knew you i even saw they'd made a mural of it in new york. interestingly i saw the colonel again 20 years later and i guess you know the magazine had been looking for people from famous photographs found him he had become a general. he was retired and all of what he really is holding a magazine with his picture on it you know except what to. look at he wasn't remotely fanatic he was delightful affable after. that presented
7:32 am
ethical problem. is could i have the right to represent him. some of the symbol of apartheid when he wasn't a bad guy. in fact he said we made a mistake would you say we should have mixed with the blacks not separated them or sit by longer for them i wasn't photographing the man because for the 1st day i was photographing the uniformly that you know the state he represented because he was what interests me not just here but in every situation isn't the characters themselves. so i only photograph them once unless they're my family and friends it's fleeting level for them i'm interested in what they represent. me scheme enterprise says he will consult. so i'm not. should she. i'm sorry my mom didn't play.
7:33 am
it. when the 2 misplaced. ok when you're reading a. cover are you ok. you are starting. to say action you. remind us of the title to let her pain. that's what i mostly use autographed pain not him fighters but in civilians because they suffer the masses of groups. in a major apps one of my best photographs of the civil war was in northern ireland and yes it is no longer no one from missy a woman who had been wounded by a bomb planted by the ira. along to
7:34 am
a buddy of our earlier i said i wasn't interested in individuals but rather what they represent so if you will is old so for me a wise who says it is it this one woman who is suffering or b.s.s. with whole story of her suffering symbolic go of all those suffering during the war but wasn't to me the universal is always the goal. when you aim for the universal you tend to forget about individuals is it something else it was or. come up for service occurred what did you do afterward. when you came home after
7:35 am
a conflict a war where. did you talk about it with your loved one is forced is a form of. it although should ask them there not here as in them. what will they say. they do mostly. until you know slim about it. since one of you the cards. had 4 sons is the name the eldest teams and i mean and the twins a rom and a rush. from. mobile kill me or names. the 1st 2 and i'm a rush the 2nd when when he disappeared covering wars how did that go at about 12 we made him promise to stop covering wars he did and 3 months later he went to the gulf war and when you asked him that order yes the later when we reached the age of
7:36 am
reason we said enough and our grandparents our grandmother also insisted that he not cover wars because we worried about him. it also he promised or he said yes yes we perhaps it basically as you said that monopoly was evil books a little bit a few months later he went to the gulf war not toward the end of the photo in time . i didn't remember that you're right but if you tell me i learned to live with. one of the world's main ills is that people usually don't see going to the public for this or if you think about it 6 months a year he's alone in the street from 5 am to 8 pm that's quite unusual. in book it's a vocation this part of you. know it's your calling and you can't do anything else because some are called to the priesthood he was called to be a photographer the. last question which isn't
7:37 am
a question if you each had to choose one word connected to a boss not necessarily a quality or flaw one word. i'd say thank you so much i'd say dad. makes it fun thank you dad. no we are going to coffees. i'm going along black from. all of us are collaborative running out of time abbas wanted us to shoot faster so we met every morning and filmed as much as we could. but. most knew it was somewhat of suffering to not just get you supercomputer up into everything on safin you needed to work so hard maybe one of the menu because most
7:38 am
lasik observes the latest go live aboard. system. mirco l.o.l. you have chaos there's a farsi word. shruti. which goes from the lovable family mayhem to bloody riots go it means chaos is the same word. is. as an erroneous and i'm supposed to be just fine with. the iranians love me emotional i must not be a very good iranian because i can't seem to photograph. even when it's in front of me i try to organize it. in the field. but what i by his own brother is an excellent example. see it was the 1st anniversary of the iranian revolution
7:39 am
february 11th 1980. young man invented. it is right that the people were packed so tightly that this extraordinary mr rose down to ask see. if he was in town and he was in india but i encountered the most the most peaceful this is a suspended moment but at the same time there's a lot of action that i love photos with lots of action as book with your name is happening here and there but it's all connected as all you they can be connected by a peaceful gentle harmony you are by a clashing harmony you know when your party. was given what has always impressed me about this image yes see the one i always wondered where you were when you took us through neatly so let's leave some mystery and out explain some photos to much of the photos live their lives and keep their mystery to gather obviously i want to.
7:40 am
be clear there is 0 then the chapter on mockery shimoga love mockery. your group on the move the perfect example was but casa. president of the central african republic that's all tuffy crowned himself emperor on a golden throne the so-called. soviet period could have been a pleasant surreal who've been at it if this country hadn't been among the world's poorest cecil b. me people and he saw himself as an emperor akihito moisten and i wanted to mark that. is why i photographed him with the press just in their shirt sleeves. the place on the trees. if you don't want to me to jump. and then one point with his trainers ermin robe it was 45 degrees celsius initiated what i thought he walked by the toilets i couldn't miss that there were big ones all the best example. of this one of the
7:41 am
mujahideen is mocking to your head in. what is he doing there. since i don't claim he was on the way into kabul before that mujahideen took the city. so serious you'll see if you believe this is one of my best known photographs from complete not fully revealed woman with a microscope. the mockery is gentler what you do with all of it is your this one for example it's all. of what you're with a woman and the car failed. you should do could i have 2 favorites which are not all political. since you this one is in vietnam you have all the selling to coconuts like full breasts and nothing else. you could put in madam perhaps my favorite is the one in the book on mexico see a lot of you don't wonder why he's carrying
7:42 am
7:43 am
if you could. his condition wasn't improving we film at his home now he barely ate anything anymore and i started to worry. maybe but he wanted to keep filming he was his usual self on camera as though everything was fine. you know really so here we have his fun. also in the jews there are similar. christians buddhists hindus. and animists in. all those years in contact with religion was make you a believer going to korea. why should i do find
7:44 am
myself in relation to a fantasy phone found in if it is popular and is universal here they knew this. could be. close really the other day he may be laughing today. let's get on with it. seems we've. got to stop it down a. supply then it's not that it's you but i can hear him giggling behind me about us. spirituality for you god doesn't exist i didn't say that it's because one man or woman in the world believe god exists you exist the answer is yes and i label so god exists he exists.
7:45 am
no said so this is in mecca. and the sit on this is in indonesia if they are quite young when true believers pray you can tell they've gone somewhere else. cloned. here's a comparison between a shiite mosque and an orthodox jew and the 2 looks reef and there's a family resemblance you know the. children with the jews but of course another great example of a suspended moment when he took office was their coffee ceremony in an ethiopian jewish family who hadn't been able to emigrate you're by to make to his room but if i leave on the side. boehmer to kitchens and the christians i love this one
