In this episode we discuss the Doha agreement written by Weir et al. (2015). We give general overview of what the Doha Agreement is and why it was necessary. We discuss how this seminal paper classified different areas of hip and groin pain to make diagnoses universal. We dive into the outcome measures suggested in this paper and their applications to clinical practice. We touch on non-exercise modalities and general treatment approaches. We summarise the strengths and weakness of the paper and provide recommendations for a future review and update of this paper 9 years on!

It's Friday, August 16th, A.D. 2024. This is The World View in 5 Minutes written by Jonathan Clark and heard at www.TheWorldView.com. Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. Taliban Persecutes Church in Afghanistan International Christian Concern or the ICC reports that the Taliban celebrated its third anniversary of its takeover of Afghanistan.  The climate for believers in Afghanistan has become very dire.  The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has pleaded with the US Department of State to designate Afghanistan as a Country of Particular Concern since 2022.  However the US Department has never recognized those concerns by making Afghanistan a ‘Special Watchlist Country'. According to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom the Taliban has implemented an extreme version of Sharia Law in the country since they took power.  The enforcement of that law includes ‘Public executions, lashings and floggings, stoning, beatings, and acts of public humiliation such as forced head shaving.'  Not only that but the Taliban has also restricted contact with the outside world including any efforts to send assistance to the churches through legal and logistical difficulties.  Please pray that believers in Afghanistan would be encouraged and that their faith will remain strong. Joshua 1:9 says “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”  Taliban Holds Parade to Celebrate 3 years in Afghanistan On Wednesday the Taliban celebrated their 3 year occupation in Afghanistan with a military parade at Bagram Airfield, which was once the largest US military base in the country.  Not only that but the parade showcased US military vehicles and weapons that were left behind when the US left Afghanistan. Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg told Fox News about the events that led up to such an abrupt evacuation of US military presence and who is responsible. KELLOGG: “It primarily falls on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, because they walked away from the Doha Agreement.  That was the agreement that President Trump put in place.  It wasn't a perfect agreement.  No agreements are perfect, but it was pretty good to set the stage for good conflict-ending time in Afghanistan.  And it was a conditions-based agreement.  Most importantly, what President Trump had done, is he had established a personal relationship with Omar Baradar, who was the lead Taliban negotiator.  So we had that relationship as well.  And when President Trump talked to Baradar (and I was in the Oval Office when that happened), he told them what would happen if they didn't fulfill their agreement.  And even though it was translated, I kept thinking to myself, ‘Boy, how is this being translated, because it's pretty stern?'  After that discussion with Baradar, not a single American was killed in over a year in Afghanistan, but Biden walked away from that agreement.” The rapid evacuation of the US military resulted in $7 billion of military equipment being abandoned in the region.  Hal Kempfer a retired Marine Intelligence Officer gave Fox News some insight into what it means to run and maintain that much equipment. KEMPFER: “With the Afghan national army, they were dependent on U.S. contractors to keep all that equipment running.  So, even though they inherited $7 billion worth of equipment, which is just- I mean, that just sits on my shoulders, when I think about the sheer amount of equipment that we left there, it's horrible.  Even though we left that, they have a tough time, just like the Afghan national government did, of keeping that stuff going.  And without those U.S. contractor there, they lack the expertise, they don't have the spare parts, they don't have the ability to get the spare parts.  So what you see rolling there, one of my first thoughts was, ‘That may be, all of everything we left, that could be the only stuff that's still operating.  And that may be as fast as some of those things could probably drive too.'  So, it's not a silver lining, but it is something to consider.” New data about Amendment 4 in Florida New polls show Florida Amendment 4, which would legalize abortions up to birth in the state, doesn't have enough support to pass.  LifeNews.com reports that Amendment 4 proposes to codify unrestricted abortion in the state's constitution and would overturn every pro-life law in the state and force taxpayers to fund abortions.  Not only that, but minors wouldn't even need parental consent.  Amending the state's constitution requires approval by a 60 percent majority.  USA Today data is showing that while the 60 percent support is not reflective of the population. They have found that 58 percent of those in Florida are in favor of Amendment 4.  Data released by Florida Atlantic University shows 56 percent of those in Florida support Amendment 4.  Amendment 4 will be on the ballot in Florida this November. Isaiah 5:20 says Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Hurricane Ernesto continues to cause damage. Reuters news reports that as of Thursday Hurricane Ernesto has already caused massive damage in Puerto Rico.  It has destroyed over 400,000 homes and businesses and that roughly half of the country is without power. Bermuda is currently under a hurricane warning as forecasters are predicting Ernesto could make landfall later today.  By Saturday experts are expecting Ernesto to strengthen even more.  Pray for those without power and homes and for those who will are in the path of this hurricane. New Medbot could be an answer to a global surgeon shortage. A medical feat was accomplished recently using a remote control robot to remove a tumor from a patient's lung with the Surgeon being 3000 miles away!  Good News Network reports that a Chinese-made 5G Medbot allowed Dr Lou Qingquan to remotely operate robotic arms to complete a surgery.  Dr Luo was seated in the Shanghai Chest Hospital on the Pacific Coast and operated on a patient 3000 miles inland.  This is the nation's first robot-assisted surgery.  There is currently a global shortage of specialist surgeons.  It is calculated that for every 100,000 people in low and middle-income countries there is currently less than 1 specialist surgeon as compared to over 5 in high-income countries.  These Medbots could be a potential breakthrough for those in need worldwide.

What happens when the fate of an entire nation hinges on a series of critical, split-second decisions? Sir Laurie Bristow, the last UK ambassador to Afghanistan, pulls back the curtain on the frantic final months preceding the fall of Kabul in August 2021. From the ramifications of the 2020 Doha Agreement to the chaotic evacuation scenes, he offers a gripping narrative of the UK's exit from Afghanistan, sharing unparalleled insights and personal anecdotes that bring this pivotal historical moment to life.We dissect the complex decision-making processes and coordination efforts among international allies and NGOs that occurred within the Green Zone, navigating through the murky waters of unpredictable intelligence. Sir Laurie vividly recounts the rapid collapse of Afghan regional capitals, the logistical nightmare of transitioning to Camp Taipan, and the hair-raising ordeal of the evacuation operation. The emotional toll, strategic decisions, and sheer bravery involved in these efforts paint a vivid picture of the human side of diplomacy and military operations.Finally, we reflect on the extraordinary courage displayed by young soldiers and officials during this crisis, spotlighting personal stories of resilience and sacrifice. Sir Laurie's book, "Final Call Kabul," encapsulates these intense moments and offers a broader analysis of the strategic implications of the withdrawal. For those looking to understand the profound impact of these events on global politics and the socio-political landscape of Kabul, this episode promises a compelling and deeply informative journey. Tune in and join the conversation on one of the most significant geopolitical events of our time.

James Hasson is a former US Army captain, Bronze Star recipient, and author of Kabul. He narrates important yet lesser-known facts about the US war in Afghanistan like the flawed Doha Agreement and the unwise decision to give up Baghra. James shares how mistakes were made, from the abandonment of US citizens to the unkept promises to the Afghan people.    James spoke with soldiers on the ground during the withdrawal. There was utter chaos at the gates, planes were landing and taking off ad hoc, and crowds of people were literally dying trying to escape the Taliban. He talks about how the ranks of the Afghan army melted away and how tragic it was that President Biden ordered them to leave their allies to fend for themselves.    Follow James on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/JamesHasson20   Get your copy of Kabul here: https://amzn.to/3ZEGTz7   Join the SOFREP Book Club here: https://sofrep.com/book-club See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Taliban, a Sunni Islamic fundamentalist and predominantly Pashtun movement, controlled most of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. In October 2001, U.S. and allied forces invaded the country and quickly ousted the Taliban regime following its refusal to hand over terrorist leader Osama bin Laden in the wake of al-Qaeda's 9/11 attacks. In February 2020, the U.S. government and the Taliban signed a peace deal, the so-called Doha Agreement, that set a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Under the agreement, the United States pledged to draw down U.S. troops to approximately 8,500 within 135 days and complete a full withdrawal within fourteen months. In return, the Taliban pledged to prevent territory under its control from being used by terrorist groups and to enter into negotiations with the Afghan government. In April 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden announced that U.S. military forces would leave Afghanistan by September 2021. The summer of 2021, the Taliban continued its offensive, threatening government-controlled urban areas and seizing several border crossings. In early August, the Taliban began direct assaults on multiple urban areas, including Kandahar in the south and Herat in the west. The takeover threatens to reverse advances made in securing the rights of women and girls, many of which have already been significantly eroded. • In this podcast, we have Siamoy E. join us, an Afghan scholar majoring in management and international relations.

_About the Lecture_ This event was recorded live on September 8, 2022 at The Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C.. With one year going by after the Taliban's seizure of Afghanistan, the fundamental question remains in the minds of the people most affected: is the Taliban able to bring stability to the nation and form a legitimate government in the country? A short introduction covering The Bonn Agreement (Post-9/11 and the U.S.'s sacrifices and achievements in Afghanistan) and The Doha Agreement (Failures of the peace process, the withdrawal of American forces, collapse of the Afghan government, and violent return of Taliban) will begin the lecture. The first part of this lecture will focus on “a blind spot in the world and a voiceless nation,” addressing questions of what happened to the government, the democratic institutions, and values that led to the culminating point of the Taliban's takeover and their rule thus far? How has the Taliban behaved toward women; ethnic, religious, and political groups; and former members of government and ANDSF in the past year? Topics of unemployment, poverty, and the current security situation including the resurgence of ISIS and other terrorist groups' activity over the past year will be discussed. The second part of the lecture will focus on the reaction of the Resistance forces in opposition to the Taliban, which includes former government members, and defense and security forces in their ranks. The final part of the lecture will address the salient question of whether the Taliban has fulfilled its end of the Doha Agreement's commitments. These commitments can be categorized into three parts: the Taliban and its connection to international terrorist organizations; the establishment of a genuine Intra-Afghan peace process; and the Taliban's (as a would-be legitimate governing entity) relationship with the surrounding region and its actors. The lecture will conclude with suggestions and solutions for the failings of the Taliban and their governing system in Afghanistan. _About the Speaker_ *Mr. Mohibullah Noori* is a modern and moderate politician resisting on behalf of democracy and regional integration within Afghanistan. He is the leader of the Heart of Asia Nations Integration Movement and former Policy Director at the National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Mr. Noori has written several books on regional integration policy and has been an advocate for this idea since 2001. He is known in Afghanistan for his ideas on the Fajristan Civilizational Region, Heart of Asia Regional Order, and Government of Peace. He believes that, in order to bring lasting peace to Afghanistan, there is a need for a Government of Peace based on three principal agreements: national agreement on a moderate, democratic, and decentralized system to appropriately reflect the diversity of the country; partnership with the neighboring countries on a regional integration policy; and global agreement on a neutrality policy with the great powers to prevent Afghanistan's “Ukrainization.” IWP Admissions: https://www.iwp.edu/admissions/ Support IWP: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E231090&id=3

The 2020 Doha Agreement was meant to force the Taliban to "think twice" before harboring terror groups. But Ayman al-Zawahiri's killing in Kabul shows the deal was "just a piece of paper for the Taliban. They had no qualms about once again hosting the main leader of al-Qaida," says USIP's Asfandyar Mir.

On Monday, President Biden issued a statement announcing that a U.S. counterterrorism operation had killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden's successor. The Al-Qaeda leader was responsible for several terror attacks targeting the United States, including 9/11. This successful drone strike also revealed that the Taliban had violated the Doha Agreement by harboring al-Zawahiri. Ranking Member on the House Homeland Security Committee Congressman John Katko (R-NY) joins the Rundown to discuss the message that the airstrike sent, why he remains concerned about the threat of terrorism within Afghanistan, and the importance of America strengthening its intelligence networks.   After severe flooding in eastern Kentucky last week, the death toll has risen to at least 37 people, thousands struggle with harsh conditions without power and there are still many residents unaccounted for. Kentucky Governor Andy Bashear has declared a state of emergency, calling this “one of the worst, most devastating flooding events in Kentucky's history.” The White House quickly issued a disaster declaration to direct more federal funding to aid with the recovery and rescue efforts. Fox News Correspondent Jeff Paul joins the podcast from Kentucky to break down the aftermath of the destructive flooding. Later, Kentucky resident Travis Bowling joins to share the experience of seeing his home destroyed by the flood yet he emphasizes his belief the Kentucky people will overcome this hardship.   Plus, commentary by FOX News Medical Contributor Dr. Marc Siegel.

Afghanistan:  A Background Briefing This is the first podcast Briefing, focusing upon something in the headlines.  I would often do briefings such as this in a class, when some major event occurred.  Some of those classroom briefings were fairly short, maybe 15 minutes.  Others would last over an hour.   Students liked these.  The briefings linked analysis with the headlines. The goal of this podcast is to give you some context for what is happening in Afghanistan.  My version of context starts in the 1840s and extends up to the afternoon of August 26, 2021 when I recorded these thoughts.  As I recorded this, I had been listening to reports of the bombings in the Kabul airport where American soldiers were conducting evacuations. Someone else might have started context with Alexander the Great. I think simple explanations often go wrong.  History and politics and world struggle are too complex to be understood by a single explanation.  It's the oil.  It's the Zionists.  It's racism.  It's the military-industrial complex. Please.  Spare me.  If everything can be explained by one thing then you are listening to ideology, not insight or analysis. I remember hearing someone say, “The Arab world makes a serious mistake when they try to understand what the Americans are doing.  They assume we are smarter than we are.”  Afghanistan is not a part of the Arab world, but the point is still valid.  Sometimes our leaders are just not very bright.   Sometimes they get fixated on some way of thinking and just don't let their minds open up to alternate possibilities.  Sometimes they get locked into a policy and can't figure out a way to escape from it.  Sometimes they get charmed by an advisor and pay too much attention to that person's explanations and suggestions.  Sometimes they are just afraid of the voters.  I hope you will come out of this podcast with more questions than answers.  Even as I am posting it, I am second guessing myself. Have fun, and thanks for listening. Update on September1.  All of our troops are out and nearly 122,000 people were evacuated. The war is over.   Bravo! Some terms and names used, in case you don't recognize them. Mujahideen, Taliban, Madrasa, The Scramble for Africa, geopolitics, Jihad, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Malindi, Stinger missiles, Al Qaeda, ISIS, reconstruction, nation building, Doha Agreement of 2020, Pushtun, apartheid, Shia, Hazara, Ashura, Ali, Hassan, Hussein, Osama bin Laden,  William Casey, Rudyard Kipling,   Gorbachev, Brezhnev, Tony Blair, Abdul Ghani Baradar,  Secretary of State Pompeo, Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana,  Jomo Kenyatta, Nelson Mandela,  Najibullah.  Film OsamaBook: Ahmed Rashid, Taliban Book: Lawrence Wright, The Looming Tower

The Taleban are continuing their advance through Afghanistan, and are on the cusp of taking control in the major cities of Herat and Kandahar. The group's fighters have predictably ignored the Doha Agreement, but has the speed of their success taken politicians by surprise, and how much of an embarrassment is the deteriorating situation for the White House and Downing Street? Cindy Yu speaks to James Forsyth and Isabel Hardman.

It was the second time I'd met and interviewed this Taliban commander. I refer to him in the podcast as Ismael. The first time, several weeks ago, he didn't want me to record our conversation. It did, however, give me the opportunity to obtain the kind of information I needed to be confident that he was who he said he was.Ismael and I spoke in a provincial capital—a government-controlled area. It had taken him half a day of travel there and he was about to lie down to sleep when I arrived, but he insisted we start the interview straight away. I started by asking him about the early days of the the American-led invasion in 2001 and about why he decided to take up a weapon. We talk about his experience fighting the Americans and about the time he was captured during an American night raid.Then we move ahead to more recent years, to the time when talks between American and Taliban representatives began in Doha in 2018, continued through to February this year—2020—and culminated in the signing of an agreement between the two sides which, it was hoped, would pave the way to bringing an end to the war.We talk about the violence that has continued since then, despite the rhetoric of peace, about the existence of al Qaeda in Afghanistan, the changes for those living in areas under Taliban control since American air power was curtailed after the Doha Agreement, and about the changes he wants to see come as a result of the talks currently underway in Doha between the Taliban and representatives of the Afghan republic. I asked him about the fears that ethnic minorities and women have about a return of the Taliban and how a Taliban military commander like him could come and go from government-controlled provincial capitals so freely. I have to say that Ismael was more restrained with a microphone in front of him than he was the first time we spoke. So, bear in mind while you're listening that he is speaking very much to official Taliban talking points.

23 international experts in groin pain were sent two specific cases – one on inguinal region pain, the other – you guessed it – adductor region pain. The heavyweights in groin pain including Holmich, Muschaweck, Ekstrand, Meyers, Tyler, Silvers, Schilders, Thoborg, Brukner, Paajanen, Philippon, Weir, Griffen, Orchard +++. Physiotherapists, sports physicians, surgeons – unique for the diversity of opinions sought. The experts were asked to (i) write down their diagnosis and (ii) suggest initial treatment. How many diagnoses were presented? (Really? 22!! You are kidding, surely). These folks were also invited to work on focused systematic reviews and share their thoughts in person in Doha, Qatar. So far so good. But there's always a catch! They were then locked in a room with just #LCHF not to come out until there was useful product for clinicians. Adam Weir, MD, PhD, was the driving force behind this effort and he shares what was achieved and how this can help your practice. He also guides you to hours of additional resource material including the Aspetar YouTube channel for the entire World Conference (some links below). If you see patients with groin pain this is a must!
