Haji Nazir Ahmadzai, a senior adviser to the Afghan president on the Reconciliation of Political Parties and Tribes said that the peace negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban are a 'waste of time' as long as the radical movement fails to implement its commitment to reduce violence and implement a ceasefire. In an interview with Sputnik, Ahmadzai&nbsp;responded to why the second round of talks was delayed, saying Kabul's delegation has been in Doha for a long time, but the Taliban has been on foreign trips and have delayed talks. He further said that the escalation of violence&nbsp;by the Taliban is unacceptable to the international community and to the Afghan nation.

India came out strongly against the statement of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Jammu and Kashmir at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Tuesday. India said the OIC has no locus standi to comment on the Kashmir issue, accusing Pakistan of "misusing the forum". India also reminded the Council that Pakistan has deliberately misused the OIC for its malicious propaganda against India, to divert attention from its own serious violations of human rights. This comes almost a week after India rejected Pakistan minister Shireen Mazari's criticism of the human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

Director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned that the US is at risk of losing its recent vaccine progress in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic with the new variants posing a 'real threat'. The spread of highly contagious coronavirus variants is threatening to fuel a "potential fourth surge of cases" in the US, CDC&nbsp;director Rochelle Walensky&nbsp;said.

Walenksy emphasised that these variants are a threat to the people and the progress against the virus. Additionally, the CDC predicted that the highly contagious B.1.1.7 variant first found in the UK will become the dominant strain in the US this month.

The Biden administration indicated that it has still not decided on ending the Trump-era ban on issuing new H-1B visas. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas&nbsp;has asserted that its top priority is the acute needs of individuals fleeing persecution. Earlier in January, former US President Donald Trump had extended the ban on issuing new H-1B visas till March 31 arguing that the country is facing a very high unemployment rate. After commencing office, Biden has revoked dozens of the executive orders of Trump. However, the one that imposed a ban on issuing H-1B has still not been lifted and it will expire on March 31, if Biden does not issue a fresh proclamation.

The World Health Organization on Monday said it was &ldquo;premature&rdquo; and &ldquo;unrealistic&rdquo; to think the pandemic might be stopped by the end of the year. Director of WHO's emergencies programme Dr Michael Ryan, however, said that the recent arrival of effective vaccines could at least help dramatically reduce hospitalisations and death. He added that the world's singular focus right now should be to keep transmission of Covid-19 as low as possible.
&ldquo;If we're smart, we can finish with the hospitalisations and the deaths and the tragedy associated with this pandemic&rdquo; by the end of the year, he said at media briefing.
Dr Ryan said WHO was reassured by emerging data that many of the licensed vaccines appear to be helping curb the virus' explosive spread.

In good news for Apple fans, all 270 Apple stores in the United States opened for business on Monday. This is the first time that all US stores are open since Apple started closing stores in response to the Covid-19 pandemic last year in April.

All Apple Stores will strictly enforce Covid-19 safety guidelines, that include reduced occupancy and a mandatory mask requirement.
