United States President Joe Biden made 67 false and misleading statements in his first 100 days in office, according to The Washington Post s fact-checking. But perhaps not on Afghanistan.
In spite of the suggestion that he has tacitly deviated from his campaign promise to bring US combat troops home from Afghanistan by withdrawing all US forces, his message on this one appears unambiguous.
Less than two weeks after Biden announced the Sept 11 deadline for the pullout of US troops from Afghanistan, the US has officially begun the withdrawal, earlier than planned.
BANGALORE (REUTERS) - India s Covid-19 death toll surged past 200,000 on Wednesday (April 28) as shortages of oxygen, medical supplies and hospital staff compounded a record number of new cases of the virus.
India s second wave of Covid-19 infections has seen at least 300,000 people a day test positive for the past week, overwhelming healthcare facilities and crematoriums and driving an increasingly urgent international response.
In the past 24 hours, 360,960 new cases were recorded, the largest single-day total in the world, taking India s total to nearly 18 million. A further 3,293 deaths, the deadliest day so far, took the death toll to 201,187.
Experts believe the official tally vastly underestimates the actual toll in the country of 1.3 billion.
