news i melissa chan, thanks for joining us. the united nations top envoy and afghan is dan, is sounding the alarm of taliban rebels. keep gaining territory ahead of nato's planned withdrawal. gabrielle lyons told the un security council, everything must be done to get the taliban and the afghan government back to the negotiated table. on tuesday, the islamists rebels captured afghanistan. main border crossing with its northern neighbour. tragic is done. here's more of what lions had to say. more than 50 of afghanistan's $370.00 districts have fallen since the beginning of may. most districts have been that have been taken. surround provincial capitals suggesting that the taliban are positioning themselves to try and take these

capitals. once foreign forces are fully withdrawn, the withdrawal decision was expected. but it speed with the majority of troops now, already withdrawn, was not all actors have had to adjust to this new reality that is unfold. for more we have journalist alley le tv in cobbler joining us ali. this isn't looking good, but is also not a surprise. there's plenty of critics who will say, i told you so the american should not be withdrawing thoughts. i mean, i've heard this argument before, but there's not really much in there because the decision has been made. and i think more than saying i told him, so the statement or the question to be, what's happened the last 20 years? you know, why and united states and its mission, you're actually accomplish 20 years later. we feel like we're still see

a resurgence to influence people need them. there isn't just for them to literally die for you know, to the point where they would be willing to bald. and so i think rather than saying i will use all the what i should be involved, my, my rock, you know, what did we do wrong? what is happening? we're still in the situation and it's only getting worse now in the comments from the un really, can the international community do anything you can do a lot and they have been doing a lot. and so now you know, we know the government and so many times, if you call in for a few sanctuaries and even been support and they say that there is support in utah and you know, the country can influence and pressure on countries that are influencing directly in the war and a lot of fun in their supply in army and you know,

it forces. so there's a lot of they have been doing a lot. i think it's so the joint and hasn't been an ocean. there's no reason that the country press on the all of on to a government to say you have to think seriously and you've been there for 11. the government has been finalized here. why do you have to start making some real look? you know, it's a lot for anything that actually actually got over the last 20 years. i think a lot of people are wondering how seriously we should consider the possibility of a complete collapse of the afghan government and the establishment of a taliban islam of state. why personally, i don't see it happening because i feel like i was all about has been doing all the last year and a half, 2 years. they've been going on around the world. they've been going, enabling country, living in europe, in american officials,

all statement you can have to keep them here. i really don't think that price again, like they were like i think they still want some support legitimacy for them to comment overriding all in safari killing people and you know, bring it back to enroll. i don't think that's gonna apply again and hopefully they're realistic enough to know that you know, the only way through right now they're trying to price everybody for the ward, but hopefully they accept the reality. it's only way for the tv. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. ask dennis down has a long history of local malicious switching sides and allegiances, depending on the type of politics. this is going militiamen and helman. province are currently fighting the taliban. the force counts former insurgents among their

ranks. some say they've been trained by afghanistan spy agency as well as foreign forces. what certain is that for now? their resistance is stopping though perhaps only delaying the capture of a strategic city. the gunfire at the gates of laska, the capital of home and province. as these defenders of the city far on television position, they can come when the this is the front line and the fighting is going on every day. the situation isn't good. and right now we have firing all around us. just days ago, i was injured in the battle. we're fighting the taliban. he registering the close quarters. the command for the next these allison gordons, a fierce fighting force and hated by the insurgents. the militia were established in 2015, taking its name from

a turkey soap opera about undercover agents. many he were recruited from the taliban emission to infiltrate and disrupt the insurgency. but for some sand gordons, the fight is personal. as well as my youngest son, my brother and 3 of my cousins, joined us 1st followed to tammy. and i'm not but then i got down. are you ready? yes. the taliban retaking more and more of f dentist and the head of the us withdrawal. the st. gordon's face an enemy that's better equipped and growing bolder by the day. look the that a little bit so you should have been that. i don't want the good will have that. the taliban use more than weapons like sniper rifles could not vision benign. and they come in with very close photographers. but i was injured thought i survived. i

never thought we can't even stand up in our, our post with that being shot and we got some support. i went suddenly, there's got to go on the media fighting force numbering between 500000 militia. he's holding the line for now. what about mike? i believe if we send gordon's weren't here, lester guy would fall defending both entrances to the city of numbers. nobody local officials acknowledge the vital role of the sand gory ends in keeping the taliban at bay more pit them. i'm see, we did go to what the mom was telling me that the same gore is having a big impact on the security of health problems. we're asking the government and the ministry of defense and the national security director to recruit more fighters for the same dorians to defend hillman province. we the developed

but that help my never arrive with government forces on the back food, and soon to lose american support. the sand gordon's no, they fighting with nothing to lose the central vista redevelopment project is a massive state effort in the heart of india's capital to construct new government buildings including a new parliament. 8 a residence and office for the prime minister and museums, modi's, hindu nationalist administration, has ambition to build this fast and just 5 years. critics worry about the cost. they worry about builders working through the pandemic. and they say this has more to do with modi's desire to emulate the washington ball or kremlin from the iconic, interviewed to the presidential palace. this historic area of india, the capital, is being transformed. it is part of an ambitious project by the national government

to redevelop india, the power cord to its aims to create a joint complex of ministries and a new parliament building among other structures. but this process has met with controversy and criticism most recently around the work being undertaken during the devastating 2nd quarter on about a week since last year. they have been multiple petitions in court against the project on various grounds, including home to the environment, to edited structures and land. you will need to petition demanded an immediate quote to the project on its own to be ongoing forward 900 fund to make the deli high code the dismissal petition. calling the project a work of national importance and on the watch by a historian is part of a group trying to draw attention toward the concerns conservationist and why mentalist and historians have with the project, which we'll see is story. buildings like the national museum. don't, don't walk like questions why the project has been designated an essential service

at a time when india it's facing a national health emergency. she also says the government began this monumental undertaking process without any public or expert consultation. what actually happened was they do have the biggest public health emergency that the world seen and certainly that india has seen em. it's not safe to have hundreds of thousands of workers on open construction site. oh, you know, in the most contagious disease you've ever had to watch play, that the resources be spent on what she called a vanity project could have been allocated to public health and disaster management . speak a number or a political analyst, on the other hand, consider essential with the project both timely and then shoot the world's largest democracy, be one of the largest military powers and globally in delphi recall. and so

a country like ours should have a great parliament billing and a super simple mr. very non the stresses that all the necessary precautions are being taken out of the construction site. yet critically, the project could not have been more is diamond. recent reports in the local media had revealed that laborers working on the sides have complained of cramps, living conditions. and that sample with one thing to food have been conformed amongst them. as the country is still recovering from the after effects of the deadly secondly and preparing for an anticipated todd. we questions about the governments allergies in this? our need are getting louder. that's it for today. you can get more on our website, the w dot com, forward slash asia and follow us on social media. will leave you with more pictures of deli future government district and parliament building as prime minister modi's

government envisions it. thanks for watching and see tomorrow, goodbye. the news . the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? not because it's 19 special on t w. c. feel worry to ask

me to i'm neil, host of the, on the green. and to me it's clear we need to change the solutions or out the join me for a deep transformation to me. ah ah me a tragedies unfolding enough gone down with the trophies 19, is running rampant in the capital capital across the land security forces are losing the battle with the taliban. the hospitals are full.

us and nato troops and leaving oxygen supplies are running out the what happens when koby 19 attacks? a country war? what come to a $900.00 spatial? i want to get johnson berlin. thanks for joining us. i restart the pandemic. we often heard that the corona virus is some grade level because it attacks rich and poor alike. but there's a difference. a lot comes down to a countries health care system, or the lack of it. this hospital and couple has had to close its doors. no more admissions, it's full as are the cities other main hospitals, cov, in 1900 patients line. the rooms struggling to breathe, kept alive with oxygen. that's in limited supply. a moment again, the number of patients is high about 40 to 50 patients who need to be admitted come

here every day. but unfortunately, there's no more room for them for the with hospitals full, a persistent shortfall of oxygen, and a general failure to adopt precautions like masks, and social distancing. afghanistan has entered its worst period yet, of the pandemic. for those turned away by doctors, it's a daunting task to get treatment. there's desperate demand for oxygen. families of the sick gather outside production plants hoping to get their cylinders refilled before it's too late. either monday that my father is sick and may only have oxygen for another hour or 2. i brought a small cylinder here to fill up with oxygen for him. but we have a problem here too because some cars bring 40 to 50 cylinders. those are filled up very quickly and we won't get our turn to be on a mac. and i'm the didn't know that net and the oxygen crisis and ghana stan mimics

the shortages that nearby india faced weeks ago. and some would argue, was foreseeable. the acting minister of public health was summoned by law makers for an explanation on monday. the appeal is out for international aid. but supplies are still low. those who want oxygen now have to pay dearly. not that of them again. i came here to fill my cylinder with oxygen because there's no more room for patients in hospitals. i bought the cylinder at a very high price and it's very difficult because we make an appointment here at 10 o'clock at night. but it's not our turn until 10 o'clock the next day. rights groups have urged the government to procure more oxygen and vaccines. so far, only 2 percent of the population has received jobs. and years of war have already weakened the health care system. that's now one of the world's most unprepared for

the pandemic. because of his energy. and for more i'm joined by le royan, he's a researcher and lecturer at the midst and faculty of cognitive university in trouble is also head of quality assurance. so very good to have you with us. and we've just seen this report, couples health care system overwhelmed by the spread of the virus. what's causing this crisis? why? campbell, not better prepared. thank you. thank you. we are, we are guarding great 19 infection and st in rapidly and rising every day. the lack of health percentages all the way in cobbled best hospitals are not meeting new patients and the lack of medical

personnel and i cannot find oxygen. and another thing is that the kids, the end up fighting is another big problem and i've run a floor and they cannot afford to, to find it viable for the patients. and any money, any of the pricing is going on. so they are not health percentages for, for the people, for the fish. and so the problem all of that, there are a lot of different factors here to play. but the african government claims that it's spent $200000000.00 in fighting the pandemic. where did all that money in top? the government claims that the $200000000.00 bank for pricing read $19.00. but

my point of view, we do not have. we don't see the effect of new money, which is a spent. we see that the people are facing a lot of problem shortages, although and on, especially in oxidation, is not going red and not enough walks in irrelevant for the other thing. the reports of consumption spending of this money. so these are the things that we don't to see. i think it has not been effectively right. maybe one good thing if you can see anything good in all this afghan is done, is there a young countries from 70 percent of the population they're under 30? is that a good or a bad thing when it comes to fighting the pandemic?

i think it is a our route for our grandson goes more, most of the population is young, but we did rising this 19 infecting both the old people, but didn't maybe do more than than young people. but is everybody sticking to measures? how do people protect themselves? are they all wearing mosques? i know that the ministry of health has issued certain protocol people following that. another. another big problem in grab a fund is that the people following through the process will be that, that the off called a social defenses around i'm not going to go out

to out of and maybe the last and they are falling into the sentence. so either cause of this is reading good 19 is the, this problem is that i know the protocol, why not? the, the, maybe a minute. some people are not believing in grade 9. and some people maybe did before to buy it off. so i mean, and a lot of factors and also not forcing them from the i find oddity, which for the depot do to follow the search, understand that i only got and i'm asking the people to follow the protocol when i draw roy and they have from kathy university in cobble. thank you so much

for your time. i thank you. thank you very much. thank you so much. what time? now for more of your questions? and as always, derek williams is here to answer them. paul wants to the consequences of not receiving the 2nd due to the vaccine on schedule, or not a told, oh, different vaccines work in different ways. so there isn't really a kind of one size fits all response to this question. but one thing is really clear. that's that, it's definitely a bad idea to skip the 2nd shot of a to dos regimen completely. experts say that's because it plays an essential role in hyping up your immune system to deal with a possible future exposure. the 2nd dose encourages your body to generate

particular cells that are able to, to remember, sorry, covey to, even though you might never have had at the 1st dose. initiates the response, and sets the immune system on high alert. while the 2nd helps cement the memory of the pathogen providing more powerful protection that's, that's also likely to be a lot more long term. so although the 1st dose provides some protection, it's really important to follow up with the 2nd one because until you get it, you'll be a lot more vulnerable. the question of whether or not you can delay a 2nd dose is a little more tangled and our understanding of what doing that means is still evolving. the rollout in britain has contributed a lot to what we do know, since it focused or early on getting as many people as possible. their 1st shots, which meant delaine 2nd doses, from the recommended 3 to 4 week interval to 2,

up to 12 weeks. and people who received the astrazeneca vaccine there, the longer interval actually improved immune response. and a recent study still under review, implies that it might do so and those fascinated with pfizer by on tech, as well, or, or at least and the elderly. the researchers found that in older people waiting 12 weeks between pfizer, by on tech shots instead of 3 to 4 weeks, caused a more powerful antibody response. in general though, authority say people need to still be getting 2nd doses after the recommended interval, simply because that's where we have the most robust data, the data from trials me. and just a reminder how fragile

a controlled pandemic situation can be used. elan says, pause, it's travel bubble with australia, but after a traveler from sidney, this is, was infected with co week 19. sidney is struggling with a spike in case numbers as local authorities announced a ban on people leaving the city for non essential reasons. and that's all from me and the team of cove in 1900 special. thanks for watching the news. the news news. the news, the news,
