The US and the Afghan Taliban have made "significant progress" in talks aimed at ending the 17-year-old conflict in Afghanistan, the US envoy has said. In a series of tweets, Zalmay Khalilzad did not give details but said the unprecedented six days of talks in Qatar were "more productive than they have been in the past". He said he was on his way to Kabul to consult Afghan government officials. Earlier, Taliban sources said the two sides had finalised a draft agreement. The deal calls for a withdrawal of foreign forces in return for assurances that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (IS) group will not be allowed to use Afghanistan as a base, the sources said. Mr Khalilzad said talks with the Taliban would continue and that nothing had been finalised.

“I considered suicide often,” Jada Pinkett Smith says in the wake of Anthony Bourdain & Kate Spade suicide deaths
Following fashion designer Kate Spade and CNN presenter Anthony Bourdain’s suicide deaths, Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith is talking about her own struggles and how she “considered the same demise often” at some point.
Jada Pinkett Smith
By now, we all know that mental illness and depression is not as far-fetched as it once seemed, and fame and money do not shield you from it either.
In an Instagram post she shared on Monday, June 11, 2018, Pinkett noted that mental health is something to be practised on a daily basis.
She advised followers to take care of their mind and spirit in the same way they care for their bodies.
She also pointed out that the mind and heart are extremely delicate and should be guarded jealously. According to her, practising mental health is a deep self-love, and as it should be.
See post below:
"One thing I’ve learned in my life over the years is that mental health is something we should practice daily, not just when issues arise. We should take care of our mind and spirit in the same way we do our body. With the suicides of Kate and Anthony it brought up feelings of when I was in such despair and had considered the same demise…often. In the years I spent towards my healing, many moons ago, I realized the mind and heart can be extremely delicate without the foundation of a formidable spirit. What I eat, what I watch on TV, what music I listen to, how I care for my body, my spiritual practice, what people I surround myself with, the amount of stress I allow and so on… either contribute to or deteriorate my mental health. Mental health is a daily practice for me. It’s a practice of deep self-love. May Kate and Anthony Rest In Peace. Many may not understand… but I do, and this morning I have the deepest gratitude that I pulled through. . Love."Fashion designer Kate Spade, age 55, was found dead at her home on June 5, 2018.
