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.
Group Captain Nick Olney compared the rescue to pulling people from a mosh pit, and says they were lucky not to have been at the airport when the first suicide bomber struck.

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.
