The Taliban announced Sunday it will be releasing 20 Afghan government prisoners the group has been holding, in the first phase of its commitment under its historic peace deal with the United States.

The deal calls for the government to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners in exchange for 1,000 government officials held by the Taliban insurgents.

The exchanges come after the Taliban met with the head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan to call for an end to what they say is an increase in American attacks since a peace deal was signed in February, allegations the U.S. military denied. The spokesman confirmed that Gen. Scott Miller met with the Taliban "as part of the military channel established in the agreement" to discuss ways to reduce the violence.

Maybe the media should have challenged JT on that early and harder.

Quebec premier Legault confirms 31 dead at Dorval care residenceWhen health authorities went to the centre, Legault said, almost all personnel had abandoned the home, leaving the seniors behind but if they wanted access to public care they should have taken off their face coverings. That headline leads to think all 31 deaths due to covid-19, but not confirmed so very misleading. 31 of how many in the home please?

Decimated Can provide a ratio of deaths to total reported case for populous Provinces; BC Ontario and Quebec. It will better reflect the accuracy of testing data. Question based on common sense not schooling.

Ontario's COVID-19 case count surpasses 7,000, province confirms 21 more deathsOnly 401 new cases today! Second straight drop in numbers over 2 days! Until we can actually start testing the numbers we need to this is going to go on much longer than it had to. Without proper testing how do we even know who or how many have it and how to get it under control. This is a failure all around. Oh, the horror. Seriously, this is becoming ridiculous. Will we get another breaking news headline when it reaches 8,000?
