ISLAMABAD — A senior U.S. State Department official says the seven-day “reduction of violence" deal promised by the Taliban will begin “tonight," without specifying the exact time. That will start the countdown to the signing of a peace agreement between the Taliban and the United States at the end of the month. That peace agreement, to be signed in Qatar on Feb. 29, will pave the way for a withdrawal of U.S. troops and intra- Afghan negotiations. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the peace agreement will also lead to an eventual permanent cease-fire. 576

It’s snow day in the nation’s capital. Washington, D.C. is just one of many places being hit by winter weather as Winter Storm Petra moves across the Midwest and eastern part of the country. Seven-year-old Elin Neuville and her father got the day off and took advantage of the snow by sledding all morning. But it wasn’t fun and games for many others. The weather went downhill overnight, bringing snow, sleet, and heavy rain across the country. More than 160 million people were impacted. The winter storm forced thousands of flights to be canceled, including more than 700 in and out of D.C. alone. Many passengers were left stuck at airports because of delays. “I've been up since about 5 or 6, just checking to see if my flight was going to be impacted and it wasn't. It wasn't until I got here it was delayed,” said one frustrated passenger. Flooding is a big concern in parts of the south. Nashville has already received more than a foot of rain. 966

LAS VEGAS – Over the last 25 years, a Las Vegas woman has become a beacon of hope for midwestern kids with dreams of going to college. Christina Hixson’s scholarship sets aside class ranks and GPAs. Instead, it looks for students who exhibit resilience, potential and pure grit. Family photographs line Hixson's Vegas office. Although she has no children and she never married, hundreds of young people look to the sharp 92-year-old with love, admiration and gratitude."I don't have a lot of money anymore, but I still give away," said Hixson.In 1995, she established an educational fund for Iowa high school students, awarding one-half college tuition scholarships to one student in each of the 99 counties in the state."We do not look for the honor students,” said Hixson. “We're looking for ordinary people to make their lives better."The fund is geared toward those who face extraordinary hardships with courage and fortitude, offering them a chance to study at Iowa State University in Ames."She's looking for the student who's had to work their way through high school and isn't a star student," said Allison Severson, Director of the Hixson Award Program at ISU. She’s looking for students like Jackie Fisher. "I was a terrible student in high school,” said Fisher. “I got really bad grades. I never did my homework because I just didn't care."Once homeless, Fisher broke away from a household that discouraged education. Next semester, she’ll be the first in her family to graduate college and not with just one degree, but two."I got the scholarship and it just kind of gave me the opportunity to actually go," said Hixson.ISU sophomore Cinestie Olson battled through depression and anxiety to become a Hixson scholar. "That was really difficult to go through so I just had to keep reminding myself you know keep going, you have college ahead of you, like you can totally change your life after this."Perhaps most interesting is that Hixson inherited the seed money for the foundation from her boss, businessman and philanthropist Ernst F. Lied. He died without heirs or instructions on what she was to do with the money."I hope he would be pleased with what we've done," said Hixson.A small box of notecards helps keep track of just how much money she's donated to a handful of colleges and universities. "We've given away 8,238,404," said Hixson.Hixson says faith in what these students will do with their gifts is why they were chosen. "Extraordinary things are done by ordinary people given a chance,” said Hixson. 2543

Just hours after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that President Donald Trump wants a reduction in American troop levels in Afghanistan before the 2020 election, the US military announced that two US service members had been killed in that country on Monday.No additional details about the deaths were released and the names of the service members were withheld so that next of kin could be notified. They are the fourth and fifth American service members to be killed in Afghanistan in a little over a month.In remarks at the Economic Club of Washington, DC, earlier in the day, Pompeo said that Trump had "been unambiguous" in his directive: "end the endless wars, draw down, reduce. It won't just be us."Pompeo has repeatedly stated that reducing US troop levels would be conditions-based, but has typically shied away from discussions around timing for a withdrawal."I'd love to get to a place where I felt like we had enough counterterrorism posture still in the region and in the country that we could substantially reduce the number of soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines that are at risk there every day," he said in an interview with Fox News last week, noting that US and NATO forces would be "leaving together."Pompeo's comments came a day after a deadly attack in Kabul, which left at least 20 people dead and 50 wounded.In a June visit to Afghanistan's capital city, Pompeo said that the US had made it clear to the Taliban that they were "prepared to remove our forces," but had not yet agreed on a timeline. Pompeo and US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, the top US official in negotiations with the Taliban, have stressed that all four conditions -- counterterrorism assurances, troop withdrawal, participation in intra-Afghan dialogue & negotiations, and a permanent ceasefire -- must be met for a comprehensive peace agreement.During his Kabul visit, Pompeo voiced optimism that a peace deal could be reached by September 1, but said last week "these things have a way of slipping days and weeks." On Monday, he said there had been "real progress" in negotiations. Khalilzad was still in Afghanistan on Monday after more than a week of meetings."We think there's a path to reduce violence, achieve reconciliation and still make sure that the American counterterrorism effort in Afghanistan has a value and the potential to reduce risk here in the states," he said.In discussing a troop withdrawal, the secretary of state noted that the US wanted to reduce the "tens of billions of dollars a year in expenditures and enormous risk to your kids and your grandkids who are fighting for America." Pompeo also said that achieving the President's directive "would be job enhancing."Trump has publicly voiced his desire to bring an end to the US presence in the 18-year conflict. He recently stirred outrage by suggesting that he could bring a swift end to the war by obliterating the nation."I have plans on Afghanistan that if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth, it would be over in literally in 10 days and I don't want to do that -- I don't want to go that route," the President said last week. "We're like policemen. We're not fighting a war. If we wanted to fight a war in Afghanistan and win it, I could win it in a week. I just don't want to kill 10 million people."In a meeting in Kabul between the US special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, Afghan officials said Trump's comments were "unacceptable." 3559
