with all the time i send the salon, i know good quality here when i see it and a good story when i hear it, my name is elizabeth shaw, and i work as aah! i you're watching d, w and use asia coming up today. what does it mean for afghanistan future as the telephone captors? more territory in the country with afghan president ghani in washington to meet with president biden. we take a closer look at the pace of the taliban takeover. plus the death of hong kong tabloid apple daily watch will fill the vacuum now that the popular pro democracy voice is gone, we speak to the founder of an underground startup in exile. ah,

i'm melissa janet. thanks for joining us. as janice jones, president assured connie needs president joe biden in washington, dc on friday the to will discuss us support for afghanistan after the final american military withdraw. this fall. biden has asked congress to approve $3300000000.00 us dollars, insecurity assistance and is sending $3000000.00 doses of covert vac seems to the country. again, a found face is a crisis. color, bon militants, have started moving into and claiming new territory ever since the u. s true pull up began in may, many of these districts and circle major cities a tactic the jihad is successfully used in the 1900 ninety's to take over the country. one such city is god's me a location of strategic importance between the capital. cobble and kandahar gods. the experienced a savage taliban assault in 2018, killing hundreds of people. both sides are preparing for more bloodshed once the

americans leave. your head is commander visiting a community hospital work or maybe miller miss by overseas health care in those parts of the province under taliban control. he claims to have run this medical facility in the east and and district for 2 years for treating militants and wounded civilians. as they gained strength, the insurgents are taking over key infrastructure ahead of what's expected to be in all out assault. once us troops withdraw nor successfully hammer, how can we have defeated the african army? thus, if they accept the laws, we have no problem with them. we have defeated the american. i'm going to discuss the government is a slave administration. when the americans leave, they wouldn't survive even for 5 days. the can. there was a homeless out on the co willing. and with the departure date, just months away,

taliban fighters, readying for battle. these 1st day classes are conducted by the red cross. this medic say there's no choice but to work with both sides and the conflict for being a medical stuff. and else for us is we don't judge, we are neutral. the best we can do is to save life pensively medical objectives. so whether they're taliban or that the other side of the political divide for us, our public lights, and to save as many lakes as possible. and the loss of life could be great. the taliban of seizing territory and almost every other province. here in guzman city, the provincial capital, the insurgents nearby presence spreading fears of an imminent assault. but under that, there was nothing good and move on. we want the government in the taliban to make a peace deal and for peace to come to us can stand. so we can end this misery, but she did the on the toner and the un is urging the world to do everything i can

to make that happen. thought we'd talk stalled the people of afghanistan to be headed for more suffering. joining us as much tucker a human cobble. he's a conflict. peace and security expert mich talk. you've been working for a peaceful resolution in your country for years. what are your thoughts? says the telephone appears to be taking district after district but certainly this has sent a wave of concern among all those who are living in avalon, it's done. do significant spike in the conflict. and you can see why lens is waging throughout the country. so this is a situation where people are really concerned, a business community is concern. the life facilities have been badly impacted. we don't have electricity for the last 3 days in capital cobble. and now you see all parts of the country is experiencing the wide range and conflict. so

definitely a situation of what he and son, particularly at the time when the country has already experience similar sort of situation back in the ninety's after the collapse of and then the g, but g ma following the russian withdrawal. so the situation of concern and situation of what for the people of on it's been really what expecting a peaceful settlement, a political settlement for the way conflict after signing of the agreement between the americans and the taliban. but not to be in the case of inter avalon talks, which has not proceeded at all, but conflict has gone farther and with the best time since the announcement of the u. s. full driver by september 2021. so meanwhile, what does president gun a trip to washington do? if anything, then in all of this crazy conflict and context, what i think the government is trying to make sure that they have the americans at

the site and they continue to enjoy both financial support. but also political support that is significantly important in terms of specifying those regional elements that the government believes that has been interfering in the avalon affairs and fueling the conflict in the country and know that the effort is seen as he will be there trying to nurture trying to accumulate the american support, educate them about the ground situation that up on his, on his wing through and make sure that the medical support remains steadfast. and then they continue to support the avalon government, which is significantly important for the morale of the avalon forces. but of course, for the general community, because the belief is that as long as the americans are undecided of the government and they continue to support for the state, the government will be able to stand up to the challenges that are being posed right now to them and of course,

another thing is that probably even president will explode and try to ensure that the americans use the leverage whatever they have. but the pakistan is, as well as with the taliban in order to ensure that the peace process gets back onto the track and talking on the negotiation rather rather than getting up the government by force. i think a lot of people are wondering whether history is repeating itself. he kind of alluded to this or what we're seeing is something like the fall of the afghan state and the rise of a taliban lead. ultra orthodox is one. this one is, is that what's going to happen in the next 18 months when we get to short of a timeline to set up an anytime like to search for such kind of thing to happen? personally, i believe that won't be the thing because the regional countries are of the believe that the ultra orthodox group, the extreme is group should not be taking go to be honest on and creating problems for them. the americans would not want. and on the other hand,

the on forces debbie, the why defined and resilient in terms of fishy with the taliban and they have shown a lot of character and then they're really pushing them back and keeping it to be so i don't collapse happening. but unfortunately, that's going to challenge the staples of the country and the progress and development miss tucker him. thank you so much for joining us. welcome. the whole, the forest closure this week of hong kong pro democracy newspaper, apple daily central residence, rushing out to buy its last paper edition, the 1000000 copies sold out in ours. meanwhile, cyber activist rushed to archive the papers online articles before its web site. when dark, with some moving the contents onto censorship, proof block chain platforms, apple daily's journalists, now ex journalists, remain targets police most recently arrested. a columnist and earlier is editors

and executive authorities have ransacked. it's news room papers owner, jimmy lie remained in custody and faces life in prison. the committee to protect journalists has honored him with this years gwen. i for press freedom award. joining us in hong kong activists in exile, sony chung, sonny, you're the founder of flo. the 1st overseas magazine for hong kong years and your 2nd issue just came out. how does the death of apple daily impact what you plan to cover in your publication moving forward? i think it is just really alarming because we know that it comes to society. those are the price of freedom, it's no longer exist because i'm due to their offices, a fee that, that all apple daily. it's really frustrating because it also knows that the price of freedom, if the double stage, the opposition side can actually have no other people. and that's also crisis

a more efficient ways to continue our advocacy oversee and our publication oversee . because we, we can actually just kind of freedom oversee research, try recess, and try to maintain that this also is an issue of homeless over the sunny. can you give us a sense of what apple daily meant to the people of hong kong? what kind of paper was it when i was young, actually like to remember my grandparents with di applebee. the stay in the morning will be 2 week before football or maybe generations of hong kong, as we all the advocated by academic support and just the paper he actually educated us motivate, encouraged us to take asked you to join writing to georgia tech,

which says for more than that that he so i think losing the absolutely it's really have to pay we have to do something to try to hold constable. otherwise the freedom as if it was just not the whole goal. be things are and are there any opposition? media organizations left, i mean, is there a way for people to get fair and accurate coverage of what's happening in the territory? yes, still some very new market. all my media is that can actually how do i get whole whole however, you know, also you page for example of the favorite famous all night which is called a stand with the whole comb. i think it's also you things because it's a lot about wanting to actually get the upper brake to try to get

the stale cuppa what the vote on that is to find the company's party. and that's why i do hope that the national committee can actually people are supposed to have this kind of media and try to discourage the hook up to continually to social media is stand news of hong kong. and that one might be only a matter of time sunny chunk. thank you so much for joining us. that's it for today, you can always get more by going to our website or social media. now, next week marks the 100 anniversary of the founding of the communist party of china . so we levy with pictures as the country prepares for triumph and celebrations. data we use asia, of course, we'll be covering the story. thanks for watching. have

a good weekend and good by the news . the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research say? information and contact the corona virus because the 19 special neck on dw interest, the global economy, our portfolio w business beyond. here is

a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market dominance versus west deb ahead with the w business beyond on you to the me the roses. 3rd wave is sweeping across africa. more than a dozen nations are reporting the worst levels of infections. there are 25000 new cases. a day on average now, 3 times more than in may. the uganda hospitals are already reaching capacity, and oxygen is in short supply. the amount of oxygen require money for, for the fish is the for you to come. we will not be able to make the situation is

becoming dire in many regions. are we seeing a repeat of the indian tragedy in africa? welcome to our kirby $900.00 special. i'm going to jones ville in the to have with us. now the world health organization says across the african continent, the number of cases and death increased by almost 40 percent in the past week. and the 3rd wave hasn't even picked yet. vaccines as we just heard, are in short supply, as is people's patience with the uncomfortable pandemic measures. the methods shouldn't be new to anyone, one into half years into adobe pandemic wash your hands maintain social distance where mosque. but the disaster management officers in cape town, they have observed that more and more people and not sticking to the rule. i'll plead to them really to consider the loved ones,

even though they may be resistant to, to comply with. but they must think of the family members in the loved ones because how they feel. if they tell you that i just don't want to come pick it people i don't and potentially losing a lot to. i'm not wearing math in public as a criminal offense in south africa, yet many people don't. but mostly this mosque and everything is for each people, you know what i mean, because they have so a lot of money. they don't want to die, bullet eating us. it is tiring it is tara, it's better for those who goes to school. like kids now months go 2 days a week. like, it's all, it's frustrating man. it's frustrating for a lot of people who close to me died because of already on the 2nd week. so i'm, what are you doing this way so far? the province of how ting around south africa,

economic have you had this book has been hits particularly hard making up for more than 60 percent. you infection? scientists expect strict lockdown rules soon, but will the 3rd way fits the entire country harder than the 2nd coughing? no, we don't expect in the other areas, at least in the coastal provinces of south africa, to be worse than the 2nd wave. why that is because the 2nd wave was very severe in the coastal regions of south africa. and we also know from the science that we haven't done that the people that got infected with the variant had released a very high level antibodies. so we expect to see a kind of population immunity around the corner from the disaster management, encouraging the elderly to sign up for what you recall. and for more i'm joined by eob boom. he's

a professor of microbiology and the africa representative for doctors without borders specialized in public health, and he joins us from cameroon. and it looks like we've just lost him. i hope we're here. he can still hear me. so boom, can you still hear me? we do, we still have audio we've, we've lost him just this moment, but i'm sure we'll try and bring him back. i give the technicians just a well, a couple of seconds. in the meantime, of course, we can talk about another region in the world where the virus is also still very, very prominent, and that is taiwan, which kept itself almost cobit reasons. the start of the pandemic. however, the country was recently hit by the alpha variant and the whole country is now in its 2nd highest cobit 900 alert. with less than 7 percent of people vaccinated

taiwan is now also facing a shortage of doses. rolling in and out every day. 39 year old mister chan delivers $300.00 orders. are we the reason koby the outbreak in taiwan has brought him more orders, but he has to take more risk. think over 90 percent of the population like him haven't been fascinated? well, those are high. no, i live with my 5 children, my wife and my mother. you asked me if i'm worried about them. of course i am. i had so many children and i worry that i might get them infected plea to lose johnny bravo. as the father of 5, he have no choice but to go out and make money. so i hope the government can offer food delivery drivers, vaccines as soon as possible. but you know, we're in contact with so many people doesn't. it's not hundreds every day by the, you know, too many are still waiting. while the fascination program for elderly started

rolling last week, vaccines that taiwan has received to date can only cover one 5th of 23500000 people didn't enough vaccine support. i mean, we have enough vaccines, can we do math explanation? that's the 1st layer of protection for all of the people on the some say the tie wants to continue the virus and the insistence on developing domestic vaccines. my have delayed is faxing acquisition strategy, and it was our mis judgement last year. not being able to for seeing that there will be said direction shortage. and we might have being a bit too confident about what we could do in terms of our own dramatically develop the vaccine. at least $1.00 to $1.00 is fact and company has

finally reviewed its faith to clinical trials this month and has apply for taiwan. emergency use authorization. it could be taiwan hope, whether it's applications or not. still remains the open question, but at least sufficient scientific data to think it might be efficacious in such regards. it just to have it approved in case of need to so we can use it while the town is faxing, you still waiting for authorization. the government is trying to secure more overseas jap, so that people like mr. chang will no longer need to worry that they and their families could get infected. well that's the worries still existing across africa and we have another go with the boom professor of microbiology and the africa represent different doctors without borders. specialize in public health. joining us from cameroon. good to have you with us. good to have you back. just help us

briefly to get the numbers that we're getting into context because that's africa has the highest number of confirmed corona, virus infections and death on the continent. as we hear this is mean that other african nations are coping better, or is this just a question of data available? not we don't think we should be good. you can see you've seen some. you made it in your book. kids are leaving when you read and you can see them, you can how to calculate lisa, where we have a lot of people may or may not. how do you want them either people or what i mean? so they have, if they can spread it, but they're not aware of it. and so they, they have not actually been registered. now we've heard this report and that goes for so many parts of the world and also africa, that there's

a shortage of vaccines. of course, what can africa itself do to get this virus under control there? what is the focus of africa based koby research? i think you're involved to this. can you feel the 1st thing in many countries under the trade of the bible? but more important does create of the good and did there so that we know exactly what are people who need of the 5 of them actually like you've seen, you get a lot of people how i potentially break it down in the real need of unless you when you convert to a game where people are eventually not need much, those are because of the condition and mobility that are low wages countries. ok. yeah. but i'm afraid we have to leave it at this point, but it was nevertheless good to have you with us. you have bloom professor of microbiology in common room. thank you so much.

again, again, the answer to this pandemic is vaccination. but there are exceptions, perhaps time for your questions over to derrick full. my government says people who have the disease should get just one. do some faxing because more would be dangerous. it's not true. the short answer is no. many, many people who've recovered from covert 19 has since received a double those vaccines because the recommendation of most health care authorities in most countries is that 2 doses is still as far as we know, the best way to ensure optimal protection. and all of those people are fine, so we know it isn't dangerous to get the full to dose regimen after recovering from the disease. but there are a few studies that highlight the question of whether getting that 2nd shot for

those people makes sense. one in particular, that was published in the journal nature. back in april, it's received a lot of attention. the u. s. researchers involved discovered that antibody response in people who recovered from the disease that it's sword after they've got the 1st shot of a messenger r n a vaccine type that only seen after after 2 shots in someone who's never been infected. so although it won't hurt you to get a 2nd dose of vaccine after recovering from cobra, 19 many experts now think that it also won't have really a dramatic impact on how well you're protected. at some point, a kind of law of diminishing returns kicks where we're giving someone who recovered more vaccine likely won't really improved their immune response much anymore

because their body is already locked and loaded to fight off, sorry, covey to. that's doug williams will be back again. next week, no doubt about that. that's all from this koby. $900.00 special. thanks for watching the news. the news. the news the news the news,
