The Kiwi Commander in charge of New Zealand's evacuation effort in Afghanistan has spoken for the first time about just how difficult the mission was.

U.S. officials said only China can help solve questions about the true origins of the virus that has now killed 4.6 million people worldwide. "China's cooperation most likely would be needed to reach a conclusive assessment of the origins of COVID-19," they said.
