<p>The rapid fall of the U.S.-backed Afghan government has sparked heated debate in Taiwan about whether they could suffer the same fate to a Chinese invasion, while state media in China has said Kabul&#8217;s fate showed Taiwan it cannot trust Washington.</p>
<p>Writing on Twitter in response to the U.S. State Department reiterating a call for China to stop pressuring the island, Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu expressed his thanks to the United States for upholding the wishes and best interests of Taiwan&#8217;s people.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">“41.8 million Germans now have full protection, while 61.1 percent have received at least one shot. The more people who get vaccinated ,the safer we will be in autumn and winter,” Spahn wrote on Twitter. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Germany’s vaccination campaign accelerated in the spring after a sluggish first few months, yet the country remains some way off the 80 percent targeted for herd immunity. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Unlike other European countries such as France and Greece, Germany has so far ruled out introducing compulsory jabs for certain parts of the population</span></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested Sameer Khan, son-in-law of Maharashtra cabinet minister Nawab Malik, in the drugs case.  Now the investigating agency is conducting raids in Mumbai at their stated places.  Following the arrest of Sameer Khan, NCB has intensified its investigation into the drugs case. Several NCB teams raided Mumbai last night.  Apart from this, raids are also on at Sameer Khan&#8217;s residence in Bandra.  Apart from this, NCB is taking Khan for medical examination after which he will be produced in court.<br>    An official of the central agency said that Malik&#8217;s son-in-law Sameer Khan was called to the NCB&#8217;s office in Ballard Estate in South Mumbai for questioning.  Khan arrived there at around 10 am and was arrested after several hours of questioning.<br> Sources said the agency summoned them after an accused in the drugs case and an alleged online transaction of Rs 20,000 between them came to light.  British citizen Karan Sajanani and two others were arrested last week with 200 kilograms of narcotics in this case.  Significantly, the agency on Tuesday arrested Ramkumar Tiwari, one of the owners of Mumbai&#8217;s famous &#8216;Muchhadh Panwala&#8217; shop.</p>
