learning like global ideas, we will show you how climate change and mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now, when you're watching d. w. news asia coming up today, when the laughter, us troops depart, afghanistan, this the timber, will the local military be ready to take on full responsibility for the country's security. we take a closer look. and us citizen, take up arms against the military rulers. does that mean yan mar is heading into civil war? plus, climbing mount everest is tough enough, but how about doing it when you can't think we'll have the story of the 1st blind mountaineer from china to reach the stomach?

ah, i melissa chan, thanks for joining us. 20 years after the u. s. military showed up in f, ganeth dan, it's withdrawal will likely be as disruptive as its arrival. and the taliban is still around as both a potent political and military force. many afghans worried the country will soon spiral into a civil war, and they don't have confidence. their military will be a match against insurgents. after abdulla mohammed, he lost his 2 legs in a firefight with the tale. bon, he thought the state would at least offer him good care. but the once loyal commander has lost faith in the army, which has failed to pay his pension for nearly a year. more clear and i don't regret my sacrifices, but i'm upset with the afghan government. they haven't looked after me properly. i

don't receive my salary on time, which is the least they can do for me on a far as she said, cases of corruption are rare. but watched our group say that's not the case. they reviewed instances of commanders who use norm existence, personnel to collect extra paychecks. army soldiers complain about ammunition shortages and substandard equipment from corrupt suppliers. military experts was that these signs of demoralization might view the resurgence of the tale bon, especially after the us troops begin their final pull out, ending nearly 20 years of military engagement person. the person ask and authorities disagree. there will be no security vacuum or gap in the sun because as you know, our forces can defend and defend up going to fund independently. but

over the past few weeks, dozens of outposts and bases have already surrendered to the tale bon. despite the losses, some soldiers say they will persevere. i thought i was real life. i'm as far as we have bullets and as far as we have energy, we will fight them. we will not stop the system. but veterans like mohammed de, unless optimistic gender for some it's not over in afghanistan yet. right now the war is at its peak here. foreign soldiers leaving seeing that afghan, astonish, think now, but i don't think so. as long as he sees many tough fights ahead and he knows that soldiers often risk the most. joining us journalist alley le chafie and cobble we just heard the spokesperson for the afghan military insist there will be no security vacuum after the americans leave. given the attacks we've

already seen, that seems like a lot of wishful thinking. no. he's not necessarily wrong. if you look at it in the last few months, that's all a bond. i have tried to take several provinces, right. they've tried to take his mind them at me in the style they've tried to take like mine and the ease and so far they've been unsuccessful. but the issue is that when you do that you send a lot of resources, right? you send thousands of troops to one area to try to concentrate on that one area. so you're trying to put out one big inferno while they're essentially like all of these other little battles going along and going on everywhere out. and so what that does is, you know, you, you can, you can control one area, you can make sure that you keep control of one area. but then the question is, are you sacrificing the attention to other areas? and then are you constantly going from one place to another, trying to toward

a concentrated attack from the taller bought. and we also saw the army veteran who hasn't received his pension in a year. i'm wondering how can soldiers fight the taller bonds successfully if they're not coming to their government, we'll take care of them. so this is been a long term problem. so we're talking not just pension, we're talking about actual payment. for instance, the last time i was in the eastern province of log out, which is about a couple of months ago, i talked to a number of soldiers and police who said that they had not been paid and months. you know. one said that he hadn't been paid in a month, you know, it's been 8 months that he had come from the north, with fighting and law god, what hon. dangerous provinces in the country. and he was saying, you know, he was fortunate because he had no family that could take care and provide for the rest of his family. but you know, other soldiers weren't lucky. new thing. look, when a soldier abandoned their posts, now they don't just abandon the post. they take the weapons,

they take the artillery, they take the ammunition with them because that's all money, right? that's all making up for what you're not being given while you're putting your life in immense danger for months, if not years at a time. wow. and it all seems to come down to corruption when it comes to the military, any chance of reform on that front. so you know, various governments, you know, where various ministers have try to. i implement, you know, reform programs within the police and within the military. but it's very difficult because what you have is, you know, you have corruption from the very top. you have many ministers, you have deputies, you have general, you have high level police official. and then you have, you know, like the lower ranks all involved, to some degree in some form of corruption or you have for instance, that you have the counter narcotics police who say, look, we're being threatened by mafia and the taller body at the same time. so if we

don't somehow work with them, we're putting our lives in danger at a time when we're not equipped properly when we're not getting the money we were promised. so it's really a difficult situation because you're talking about an issue from the top all the way to the bottom. you know, if the tree is rotted at the top and the roots will have the same problem. ali la tv, always a pleasure to talk to you. thank you. man. mars. underground government has released video footage of a new defense force. it has formed to challenge the leaders of the military coup. they say the 1st group of around 100 new recruits have now finished training. the resistance made up of many supporters of the popular national league for democracy on something chief party say they will build in army to overthrow military rule. to this end, they've been working to bring together anti, to just sit in with me and mars many ethnic rebel groups to try to form

a federal army. to explain this further, we have a mentor and editor at frontier myanmar, a explained to the viewers the difference between this new so called people's defense force and long standing rebel armies that represents the interest of the career, for example. so people to the forces really come in to forms what viewers just saw . the video now are formal organizations that are under the group, greg command of the civilian shadow government. and they also cover these sort of informal groups are created by local leaders that are really focused on self defense, but have declared themselves loyal to disability and government. and so the main difference that we're seeing is that these defense forces are local organizations that are not based on a necessity or other political goals, like independence or economy for specific ethnic groups or religious religious groups. but they are sort of carry local grassroots organizations. and you know,

there isn't a huge division right now between these groups. and we are actually seeing that many in many cases, people are sharing things like weapons, as well as training between the ethnic army and disability groups. right now, how much of this is a military extension of ants on suit? she's national league for democracy party. so in the video we just saw, and in the formalization that we're seeing of these groups, we're really seeing ministry of defense under the new national unity government, the shadow government trying to create a former military, you know, in the view of the civilian government with all the military, as it is right now, are traitors who are not accountable to the people of me and more. and therefore, i have been declared a terrorist organization. the military has declared the civilian government and there are forces to be treated as well. so you have to sort of political, back and forth. but the new union, the government is a much more multiethnic,

multi religious organization. but we do see that the multi is a dominating force in that that sounds a little bit like the beginnings of a civil war. is that what we're seeing? so you know, in many ways new has been in civil war for the last 70 or so years. the group you mentioned earlier like the korean have been fighting for greater freedoms within the m. r. and some other groups have declared independence at various times. i think what we're really seeing now is the beginning of an all out war in which even the city centers are affected and no one's really safe. whereas before, you know, people were safe for safe, for especially if there were urban areas em and time to thank you so much for joining us as always. thank you for having me. a line was a bit shaky there, but glad we got to speak with a you can also find more of our coverage on the m r on our website, d, w dot com,

he managed to get to the top of everest with the help of 3 guides. he believes his experience of reaching the summit was different from that of most other climates. so that's what he missed. i didn't feel exhilarated or emotional. like other timers, i didn't think too much as i thought that the environment around me was quite risky . so i told my guide, i wanted to get down quickly to the shanghai made it down to base camp safely. he said, he knows why he was successful and has some advice. others in his position. the time you a whole know much if you're disabled or able bodied, whether you have lost your ice, i don't have no legs or hands. it doesn't matter as long as you have a strong mind. you can always complete a thing that other people cannot leave yourself releasing. in his case, this is certainly turned out to be true. that's it for today. follow us

and oxygen supplies are running out. now the government's urging not ever it's climate to help expertise on margin. somebody. in addition, sol, climbers, at the base counter have an ample number of oxygen cylinder, high equity. and we have requested owners and operators to bring back those empty cylinders immediately after the completion of their expeditions, utilizing the benefits of the people family. so i got a new pool has issued some 700 climbing come at this season and been to get the mountaineering and tourism industry back on their feet. it's estimated climb as will abandon around a 3 and a half 1000 oxygen bottles on the mountain this year. alone cylinders desperately needed in the fight against corona virus. our men and city and our public, there have a lot of war and a bio signal. so they have

we need coding back at the medical equipment, including oxygen, cylinder, and accident blonde k will have to leave it there. thank you. very much for joining us and being on the show today. pleasure speaking to metro casa, to see if you're ready. thank you. thank you. are was turning now to some other stories from the panoramic. india's corona virus infections to 28000000 on monday, with health authorities reporting over 2000000 active cases. there is some good news india's day, the new infection rates continue to decline indicating the current way may have already picked. china has locked down con joe, after a flare up in new coded cases. initial reports indicate the new infections and linked to the mutation 1st to take that in india. health authorities are ramping up local testing and vaccination rise to prevent a widespread outbreak. the palestinian territories have approved a single dose version of russia. sputnik vaccine spot make,

light rushes direct. the basement fund is reportedly and talks with india manufacturers to stop reducing the job as early as next month. they use in asian markets and a record virus search has he 1000 tina force and officials to suspend the copa american football tournament. there. the chief cabinet minister said his country tried to keep its commitment to hosting the event, but the in the me, a logical situation made it impossible. south african president 0 rema post says his country is re imposing a strict lockdown. i made a new surgeon covered 19 cases where he says to hattiesburg in pretoria and now in a 3rd wave surgeon cases also highlights south africa slow vaccine rollout. when the around one and a half percent of the country, 60000000 people have received the 1st dose. the w said we increase in cape town, says another lockdown was inevitable. the new restrictions don't come as

a surprise to most south africans, because the numbers of new infections have been increasing in the past days and weeks and almost reached 5000 new cases the day at the moment. this is still far away from the peak. we have seen during the 2nd wave in january where we had more than 20000 new cases a day, but it is still a reason to worry, especially because the vaccination campaign here has been starting very slow so that it has all the vaccines for 75 percent of its population, but only a fraction of that arrived in the country and the president has been complaining about that many times before. thing it is not fair that wealthy nations have stronger access to vaccines than countries like south africa and also neighboring countries on the continent. yes, so far only those above the age of 60 are allowed to get the jap. so this is less than 2 percent of the population at the moment. those who are younger than 60, even if they have co morbidities, don't even know if they'll be able to get

a vaccine. by the end of this year, time for derek williams. and the question that could be on your mind if you're waiting for the jap oh, i have a mild cold. can i get vaccinated anyway? great question. you might have been waiting for months for an appointment to get vaccinated, and then the day before your notice stops out. well, i can tell you from personal experience with, for example, my kids pediatricians. that in general, if you're feeling even a little under the weather on the day of a shot, and doctors really don't like to vaccinate you for anything. in the panoramic. however, the cdc in the u. s. at least has apparently loosened that rule of thumb somewhat. and germany's health authority conference, the 2, it agrees both say that if you basically only have the sniffles, then vaccinate hers can go ahead and give you october 19 vaccine. but if you're

feeling moderately or more severely el, they say, then you should wait until you recover from whatever you have to receive one. as far as i can tell, doctors and other medical experts appear to draw the line between mild and moderate illness, largely based on the presence or the absence of fever. so. so if you just have a runny nose or a scratchy throat, but your temperature is normal or close to it, then you're apparently good to go. if you have more acute sickness, however, that involves higher fever for germany's health authority that that's anything over $38.00 and a half degrees celsius, then you should wait to be vaccinated. but, but one way or the other, you need to be tested beforehand to, to rule out the possibility that you might have picked up the source covey to and,

and if it turns out that what's actually causing your cold like symptoms is a mild case of go for 19 then the recommendation is to wait until you've recovered fully. then at least another couple of weeks before rescheduling your appointment. derek williams. aaron den facility, thanks for watching. stay safe and see you again. so the me the news. the news . the news
