| Posted: 25 Aug 2021 02:44 AM PDT Dominic Raab says numbers depend on 'the window' of opportunity; 'we are determined to complete this mission', says US President; reports emerge that US has started to take some of the 6,000 troops out of country
In the first week following the Taliban conquest of Kabul, Covid-19 vaccinations in Afghanistan have dropped by 80%, the UN agency UNICEF said, warning that half of the few doses delivered to the country so far are close to expiry. The Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital on 15 August, having already captured most of the country earlier in the month after the United States decided to withdraw military forces after 20 years of war. The drop is understandable, as in situations of chaos, conflict and emergency, people will prioritize their safety and security first. Our priority today is to work with UNICEF and WHO country offices (..) to ensure our ability to continue the country's COVID-19 vaccination programme.
Britain's failure to persuade the US to extend the evacuation from Afghanistan into September does not mean the "special relationship" with Washington is over, the foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, has said. He made the comment in an interview following the virtual G7 summit, which resulted in President Biden rejecting calls from the UK and other European partners for the evacuation mission from Afghanistan to be extended beyond 31 August.

| Kamala Harris Vietnam trip delayed after two US officials report Havana syndrome Posted: 24 Aug 2021 04:08 PM PDT Press secretary says assessment of safety of vice-president was carried out and she continued her journey US vice-president Kamala Harris' trip from Singapore to Vietnam was delayed by several hours on Tuesday by an investigation into two possible cases of the so-called Havana syndrome in Hanoi, administration officials said. The investigation was in its early stages and officials deemed it safe for Harris to make her scheduled stop in Vietnam, which is part of her trip across Asia meant to reassure allies about American foreign policy amid the tumultuous evacuation of US forces from Afghanistan.

| US intelligence study inconclusive on Covid origins, according to reports Posted: 25 Aug 2021 01:26 AM PDT Assessment unable to conclude whether virus came from animals or a Wuhan lab, according to US media A classified US intelligence report delivered to the White House was inconclusive on the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, in part due to a lack of information from China, according to US media reports. The assessment received on Tuesday, which was ordered by President Joe Biden 90 days ago, was unable to definitively conclude whether the virus that first emerged in central China had jumped to humans via animals or escaped a highly secure research facility in Wuhan, two US officials familiar with the matter told the Washington Post.

| Hong Kong to scour old films for subversive themes under new censorship law Posted: 24 Aug 2021 10:46 PM PDT Movies deemed a security threat can bring penalties of up to three years' jail under stricter law that also covers previously approved titles Hong Kong will scrutinise past films for national security breaches under a tough new censorship law in the latest blow to the city's political and artistic freedoms. Authorities announced in June that the financial hub's censorship board would check any future films for content that breached the security law. But on Tuesday they unveiled a new, hardened censorship law that would also cover any titles that had previously been given a green light. Continue reading... |
| Oxygen firms accused of intimidating Mexican hospitals during pandemic Posted: 24 Aug 2021 11:00 PM PDT Hospitals received letters threatening large fines after they installed their own onsite O2 plants in response to shortages In March 2020, Benjamin Espinoza Zavala saw an entire floor of his small hospital in Guanajuato, central Mexico, converted into Covid-19 wards. The hospital's need for oxygen soared. Deliveries from CryoInfra, part of the Grupo Infra group, occasionally slowed to once every couple of days, and he had to buy in extra to cover the sudden gaps in supply. Prices increased.

| Baby on Nevermind cover sues Nirvana over child sexual exploitation Posted: 25 Aug 2021 02:32 AM PDT Spencer Elden, who appeared at four months old on iconic album design, claims the image is child pornography Spencer Elden, who appeared as a naked baby on one of rock music's most iconic album covers – Nevermind by Nirvana – is suing the band, claiming he was sexually exploited as a child. In a lawsuit filed in a Californian district court against numerous parties, including the surviving members of the band, Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love, and the record labels that released or distributed the album in the last three decades, Elden alleges the defendants produced child pornography with the image, which features him swimming naked towards a dollar bill with his genitalia visible.

| Posted: 25 Aug 2021 02:31 AM PDT UK researchers report seeing some waning of protection in double-jabbed people; assessment Biden ordered reportedly inconclusive about whether Covid jumped from animals or leaked from Wuhan lab
Patients who have recovered from Covid in Vietnam will be offered a monthly allowance if they agree to stay on to help health workers struggling to cope with the surge in infections. The programme, called "patient zero with patient zero", was launched this week in Ho Chi Minh City, the epicentre of the current outbreak. Participants will be provided with personal protective equipment, food, accommodation and a monthly allowance of 8 million dong (£255).
New Zealand's Covid response minister says the country will not "throw in the towel" with its elimination strategy, as cases continue to rise. New Zealand announced 63 new cases of Covid-19 on Wednesday, bringing the total to 210 cases. It is the largest single-day jump since the outbreak began last week, and 12 people are hospitalised with the virus.

"The local confirmed case today is zero, it was not easy," the head of the Central Epidemic Command Centre, Chen Shih-chung, said on Wednesday. Continue reading... |
| New Zealand health chief slams ‘gutless’ racism against Pasifika people over Covid cluster Posted: 24 Aug 2021 07:40 PM PDT Ashley Bloomfield urges everyone to be kind amid rise in online abuse after outbreak at Auckland church service that took place before lockdown New Zealand's director general of health has condemned "gutless" racism against Pacific communities, as the Covid-19 outbreak continues to grow. Announcing case numbers on Wednesday, Dr Ashley Bloomfield said the ministry of health had seen racism being directed at Pacific New Zealanders, and that those racist remarks were "disappointing – and frankly, gutless".

| Long Covid limbo: some US patients wait months for diagnosis and treatment Posted: 25 Aug 2021 12:00 AM PDT Patients with a range of debilitating symptoms but no positive Covid test may not qualify for specialty clinics – and may be told it's 'all in your head' For months, Andrea Tomasek suspected she was suffering from debilitating symptoms brought on by a Covid-19 infection. She had a fever and her breathing was so labored she said it felt like her "lungs were sponges full of fluid". She later experienced dizziness and periods where she would pass out. But when the 37-year-old first started to feel sick in March 2020, the pandemic was still in its early days, so she couldn't access a test in her home city of Savage, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis.

| ‘We can never go back’: Taliban surge spreads fear in Delhi’s ‘Little Kabul’ Posted: 25 Aug 2021 12:26 AM PDT For many refugees who fled to India decades ago, the Taliban's ascent in Afghanistan has dashed hopes of them ever being able to return home They call it little Kabul and it's not hard to see why. In this lively corner of south Delhi, the streets of Lajpat Nagar are lined with Afghan pharmacies, supermarkets, travel agents and beauty parlours, with Dari Persian signage almost as common as Hindi. Delhi's residents will trek across the city just for the Afghan restaurants, and for a taste of the thick, steaming ovals of naan bread baked in the numerous Afghan bakeries in the neighbourhood. But in recent days, a sombre mood has taken over this usually bustling enclave, where thousands of Afghans have settled, some as early as 1979. As Kabul fell to the Taliban last Sunday, many of those who had sought safety in India as refugees feared it sounded the death knell for them ever being able to return home. Continue reading... |
| ‘My persian had a three-hour blow-dry!’ 150 years of cat shows – then and now Posted: 25 Aug 2021 02:00 AM PDT Feline fancies began in the UK in 1871, with proud cat owners grabbing the chance to show off their perfect pets. What is the secret of their enduring appeal? The air in the sports centre has a base note of urine. A soundtrack of plaintive mewling is interrupted occasionally by the sharp scratch of a hiss. Humans dart around the floor, attending to the whims of their lusciously furred, bouffant companions. Hairbrushes are wielded; coats are teased to 80s volumes. Over the PA system, an announcement is made. "Long-haired kittens are required in ring five!" The first cat show took place in Crystal Palace, south-east London, in 1871. I have come to the LondonCats Worldwide (LCWW) 150th anniversary celebration show. Over two days, 200 competitors will converge on the Crystal Palace national sports centre, cat carriers in hand. In six rings along one wall of the show floor, judges will assess each animal for temperament, condition and conformity to the breed standard, before an audience of paying spectators.

| Lucy Dawson: the model who got a mystery headache, a misdiagnosis – and a new mission in life Posted: 24 Aug 2021 10:00 PM PDT When she began experiencing head pain as a student, Dawson was diagnosed with a breakdown and sectioned. She actually had encephalitis. Five years on, now paralysed in one leg, she is speaking out for disability rights Lucy Dawson was skating through life. Everything came so easily to her: she had friends, confidence, academic success. At the age of 20, she was studying criminology at the University of Leicester, determined to join the police. Then, in the summer of 2016, she got a terrible headache that refused to go away. The headache was to change Dawson's life. It took almost four months for her to be diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis, an acute inflammation of the brain that leaves many people with permanent brain damage and has a mortality rate of about one in 10. She was showing classic symptoms of encephalitis from the off (confusion, personality change, hallucinations and the headaches) which should have been spotted within a couple of days.

| A moment that changed me: the shock of being beaten by teenage fascists Posted: 24 Aug 2021 11:00 PM PDT Violence, when it happens, is clumsy and banal. The possibility of a repeat kicking lurked around every corner and the hometown I loved was cast in sinister hues The first time I was beaten up in the street I was 16 and had intervened when a boy tried to throw a friend of mine through a shop window. The third time, I had my nose broken at 2am in Luton for laughing when three jeering lads called me "John Travolta" (a reference to Grease, presumably; I was going through a big Rocket From The Crypt phase). But the second time was the most significant. It was 1993, the summer before I failed my A-levels majestically, and two friends, D and M, and I were stumbling home several miles from a Durham nightclub (whose door was run by a young Dominic Cummings) back to our estate outside a north-east town. We were innocent indie kids; we played in punk bands, changed hairstyles regularly and took absolutely nothing seriously save for books, music and high times. We were not fighters. Life was for laughing at. Continue reading... |
| Meat wars: why Biden wants to break up the powerful US beef industry Posted: 24 Aug 2021 11:01 PM PDT As the pandemic drives calls for a radical overhaul of the food system, can the president take on the meat giants? Both the planet and US politics have heated up in tandem over recent decades, but few sectors have stewed in controversy quite like America's beef industry. Four super-powered meatpackers control more than 80% of the US beef market, an extraordinary concentration of market power that the Biden administration is not happy about. But how were the big four meatpackers able to capture so much of the US beef processing capacity? They had help.

| McCartney 3, 2, 1 review – the Fab Four as you’ve never heard them before Posted: 24 Aug 2021 10:00 PM PDT This bounteous feast for Beatles fans sees Paul McCartney dive into the back catalogue with producer Rick Rubin – who then does something truly amazing Long before their mop-topped world domination, Paul McCartney and George Harrison went hitchhiking. Paul, being the sensible one, had packed a camping stove and a can of rice pudding. "Ambrosia," confided McCartney to his interviewer, music producer and Beatles superfan Rick Rubin, who, being American, hid bewilderment at this dismal 63-year-old English tragical mystery tour behind a polite rictus. It was on this road trip that the pair wrote one of their first songs. I imagine George with a little quiff, Paul with the can opener, sitting on a verge outside Widnes whiling away the hours to the next ride by writing Thinking of Linking, a song inspired by a long-defunct firm, Link Furniture, that McCartney has admitted elsewhere, was terrible.

| Britain’s military must learn from its mistakes Posted: 24 Aug 2021 09:56 AM PDT Britain's armed forces are dodging responsibility for failings in Afghanistan and Iraq, argues Prof Paul Dixon. RC Pennington fears military history is doomed to repeat itself. Plus letters from Margaret Phelps, Diana Francis and Jim Golcher Simon Akam is right, the military does want to ignore its failure in Afghanistan (Britain's military will want to ignore its failure in Afghanistan. It must face reality, 22 August), but it does so by deflecting responsibility on to the politicians. There is also a strong reluctance to publish books and articles that are critical of the military, even by those who served. All three books cited by Akam are by journalists who are ex-military.

| Mauritius FA looks into claim recording device seen in women’s toilets in May Posted: 24 Aug 2021 10:06 AM PDT
A cleaner who works at the Mauritius Football Association has claimed she found a mobile phone in recording mode in the women's toilets at its headquarters three months before a complaint was lodged with police by another employee. Two board members have stepped down over the MFA's handling of accusations made this month by the administrative secretary, Mila Sinnasamy, that the mobile phone discovered on 30 July was concealed in a blue basket placed in the water tank of the women's toilet at the MFA's headquarters in Trianon, 15 km from the capital, Port Louis.

| Thailand develops robotic system to up Covid vaccine doses Posted: 25 Aug 2021 01:18 AM PDT 'AutoVacc' draws out extra 20% from vials to optimise supplies and ease pressure on health workers Researchers in Thailand have developed a machine to draw out Covid-19 vaccine doses more efficiently and optimise lower-than-expected supplies as the country struggles with its worst coronavirus outbreak yet. Using a robotic arm, the "AutoVacc" system can draw 12 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine in four minutes from a vial, according to researchers at Chulalongkorn University, who made the machine that has been used at the university's vaccination centre since Monday.

The New South Wales deputy premier, John Barilaro, has come under fire for "highly offensive" comments he made comparing a funeral in the western NSW town of Wilcannia – attended by about 300 people in compliance with the health orders at the time – to "the 16 dickheads in Maroubra" who spread Covid after having a party. The far western Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party MP Roy Butler said Barilaro must apologise. Continue reading... |
| ‘Don’t avert your eyes’: Afghan teachers urge world to defend girls’ education Posted: 25 Aug 2021 01:43 AM PDT Educators say they fear reversal of hard-won progress as aid workers call for Taliban's desire for international legitimacy to be used as leverage Afghanistan's only boarding school for girls has temporarily relocated to Rwanda, its co-founder has said, just days after a video of her burning class records to avoid Taliban recriminations was widely shared on social media. Shabana Basij-Rasikh, who escaped Kabul with 250 students and staff, urged the world to "not avert your eyes" from the millions of girls left behind. Continue reading... |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2021 06:56 PM PDT Newly released documents show government backed a vaccine patent waiver only after the US changed its position Many New Zealanders like to think of their government as a principled actor in international affairs. Discussions of New Zealand's role in foreign policy in recent years often laud New Zealand's nuclear-free stance in the 1980s. There is widespread pride in New Zealand's "independent foreign policy", including its decision not to go to war in Iraq in 2003. But the story of New Zealand's role in the world, historically and today, is much more complex than these cliches would suggest. Documents just released under the Official Information Act provide another example of a murkier world of New Zealand foreign policy decision-making. Continue reading... |
| Biden pours salt into wounds of relations with Europe at G7 meeting Posted: 24 Aug 2021 11:50 AM PDT Analysis: US president dashes hopes he might acknowledge damage done by handling of Afghan withdrawal In the end it took only seven minutes for Joe Biden to pour salt into the wounds of his fractured relationship with European leaders, telling them firmly on a video call that he would not extend the 31 August deadline for US troops to stay in Kabul, as he had been asked by the French, Italians and most of all the British. The rebuff follows Biden's earlier decision in July to insist on the August deadline previously set in 2020 by Donald Trump for the withdrawal, a decision the US president relayed to his EU colleagues as a fait accompli. For Europe the episode has been a rude awakening, and a moment of sober reassessment. Only on 25 March Charles Michel had afforded Biden the chance to address a meeting of the European Council, the first foreign leader given the honour since Barack Obama 11 years earlier. Biden after all had said his foreign policy would only be as strong as his system of alliances, the true shield of the republic, and Europe would be at the heart of that system. Continue reading... |
| How the west will try to sway the Taliban Posted: 24 Aug 2021 06:53 AM PDT Analysis: The prospect of aid, or the threat of sanctions, may not influence Afghanistan's new leaders After some inelegant flip-flopping, the UK and other G7 countries appear to be returning to a familiar combination of carrots and sticks such as humanitarian aid, international recognition and sanctions in an effort to retain a measure of influence over the Taliban. The threat of sanctions was raised explicitly by the British foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, in the Daily Telegraph, even though Downing Street had earlier cautioned that such threats were unhelpful during the refugee airlift when maximum cooperation from the militants is required. In practice, the entire Taliban leadership is already subject to sanctions. Continue reading... |
| Joe Biden says US 'on pace' to leave Afghanistan on 31 August – video Posted: 25 Aug 2021 12:00 AM PDT Joe Biden says the US is 'on pace' to finish its Afghanistan evacuation efforts by 31 August, despite pleas of domestic and international allies to keep troops on the ground. The president cited a growing terrorist threat as a reason to continue its mass evacuation. 'The sooner we can finish, the better.

Zabihullah Mujahid also made clear that the Taliban would take 'a different stance' regarding the presence of US troops beyond 31 August Continue reading... |

The fire has burned more than 40,500 hectares (100,000 acres) in the north of the state since it started on 14 August, and more than 12,000 in just two days.
