The large presence of. Which is not. A video message to the media. World. Like last year during. During july of last year there was another attack on locally where he was launching to some point. Was. Running reported running. Under a lot. Of them the politician which. Called for all of 1 terrorist. Attacks happen to him. People are so so will already about this. Too. Ok yes a lot of concern about this attack thank you very much massoud seans for bringing us the latest there from kabul lets now discuss this further with mushtaq right aim was a conflict peace and security analyst joining us via skype from kabul thank you very much for speaking to us as we had the Vice President is a high profile figure this isnt the 1st time that im no less than he has survived an assassination attempt why is he such a target who would want to harm him. Well if you look at the background of mr. He has been. Strong. Against them to our. Northern Alliance Even doing. Stuff. And he has been quite open in. Showing his animosity towards the taliban recently he has been he was talking to a National Television channel a private Television Channel and he came very openly talking about future of. The need but in pakistan lets not forget that pakistan one of the leading nations in the region of the Peace Process and an important. Issues he has been very much openly criticizing the country in its role in. The proxy war in afghanistan because of that then also dont forget that they are certainly spoil making an effort to spoil the Peace Process that is heading into a very sensitive and very important process that is in trouble before that they are in feuding with those who are against the Peace Process by attacking those who are. Coming together makes him a legitimate target for. A man who has a number of enemies do you think that would be a claim of responsibility. Well straight away we heard i was reading through the social media i think i have the knowledge this attack and that has been the case since the signing of the agreement between the taliban and americans on the brink benign before everybody the c. N. N. They havent been taking that is sponsibility of those attacks. Could be a possibility of bringing peace both those are the shadow of these incidents so they have been announced im not expecting any of these that these from taliban quarters you warn expect any sort of taking the sponsibility probably the isis in afghanistan have been that they have had to police the file about all of the course over the last couple of feet and where they have been taking that is most of it if you have such sort of attacks in order to cash in on such kind of incidents in india favor in a bid to show that big prominent actors in the ongoing conflict briefing a taliban delegation as you mentioned has recently returned to doha for more talks a spot of the u. S. Taliban a hope of course is that this will pave the way for direct talks between the Afghan Government and the taliban how will this assassination attempt on the Vice President affect the list talks you think if they were to begin. Well at right now i dont see this sort of this todays attack is going to have any effect on the next phase of the end because everybody is geared towards that and considering the fact that the taliban have been now is this attack i believe this will not have any Significant Impact on the process but of course when you go to the negotiation table the weiss president where the strong wise. And also having an influence on the ongoing Peace Process is certainly going to become much harder in his stance in terms of negotiating with the taliban which is which is expected lead going to have some sort of impact but as far as the start of negotiation is concerned i dont think it will have a heart the process the negotiation process should proceed as the 2 sides agreed to move on because right now that is a slight hurdle that is the difference of opinion between taliban and the Afghan Government under the leaves of a handful of prisoners did not abandon saying that until they have all the 5000. 00 Prisoners Released they cannot go into that ok that dissolved i dont see this attack is going to create any hurdles thank you so much for talking to us about this thank you for your insight Mushtaq RahimFounding Member of the afghanistan a face units joining us from kabul thank you very much. In other world news fire has forced thousands of migrants and refugees to flee their camp on the greek island of les pauls strong winds fanned the flames to offset 4 of several fires at the morea camp the largest in the country reports say some of the blazes were started deliberately to protest newly imposed coronavirus restrictions the facility was placed under quarantine last week after the 1st case was found infections have since risen to 35. 00 Douglas Herman is a cofounder of refocused media labs an organization that works with citizen journalists inside moria camp he says the increased restrictions led to riots and the fires being sought it. At the current moment there are several fires that are kind of all over the camp. Yes corona has been identified in this camp in recent days and the number of confirmed cases have been rising many of the asymptomatic people have been put into a quarantine area on the far eastern side of the camp and that area earlier this evening was attacked by individuals who seemingly do not believe that corona is actually in the camp and that it is being seen as a reason to continue a 6 month lockdown in the camp some attacks on some vehicles to move people out of the camp or to move them around ensued and some of the people that were in this current team area were fleeing from that violence and in the process of that several fires were set on the perimeter and then now those fires have been set inside the camp also office for the asylum seeking process takes place is on fire our students living quarters are on fire. Numerous people have been evacuated from the area of their own accord or are now by authorities the space that was created for quarantine was for anyone who had recently tested or had been potentially connected to anyone who had tested positive of those cases where its symptomatic and they were just basically quarantining them off to the side for 14 days so once you know once night falls its kind of not necessarily you know aggressively policed and in this area some individuals gathered and started arresting some of the people that were inside and some sort of violence ensued the images and the photos and the stories that are coming back from our students are that you know this violence has just kind of turned into kind of a full scale riot. One of the worlds most advanced funk scene trials has been put on hold after participants fell ill astra zeneca says a patient has a potentially unexplained illness which will need further investigation the pharmaceutical giant is working with Oxford University to develop the vaccine for corona virus late stage testing got underway last week thousands are taking part in the trial in the u. K. U. S. Brazil and south africa is hopes 3000000000 doses can be distributed globally julie fisher is from Georgetown Medical university she explains what this means for the future of the trial. At this point a group of external experts will be consulted and its a normal part of the process theyll be called in to see if any adverse events that were reported and were serious are likely to be due to the vaccine or to be unrelated and their advice will help decide whether or not the vaccine trial continues we are all familiar with my old versa vents that can happen after vaccination like fever or pain at the side of the injection to put a pause it has to the the event would be serious something that was perhaps related to. The heart the lungs the kidneys another system in the body. That was really required medical attention and that was found to be serious enough to merit causing this very important effort to test this vaccine in order to make sure that the vaccine is safe and that the adverse events were not due to the vaccine itself there is a set of expectations to test the safety of any vaccine that will be given to 2 people and that that is that would be tested in a small group of volunteers to make sure that it is safe and has a reasonable chance of being effective before even going into larger groups of volunteers much less the public without that kind of testing we just dont know for sure if the vaccine will protect people from infection i think we would like to see one as quickly as possible all of us but i think its reasonable to assume that it would be at the very earliest the end of 2020 and more likely 2021.

Well the tigre and Peoples Liberation front the tea p. L. F. The party that dominates the state council there integrates widely expected to stay in power and to win this election they have overwhelming support throughout the region but the most significant thing about this poll today is the very fact that its going ahead now this follows a decision by the central federal government in the capital addis ababa back in march to postpone the elections elections would you across all of ethiopia last month they said they needed to be postponed because of the pandemic and in june they said no elections will be able to take place until Health Officials have said that the pandemic is on the control elections they said should take place 9 to 12 months after that now this was seen by the tea p.

Officials pushing others out of key positions and this is part of a kind of broader struggle thats going on in ethiopia where some of the Regional States feel a growing disenfranchisement with the Central Government and its essentially sort of consensus between the different different Regional States that holds a single ethiopia together now there are some parties in the gray who are calling for session for secession and calling for independence the tea p.
