A Loughborough student who ‘went on holiday’ to Afghanistan has been stuck in the country’s capital as the nation falls apart around him.

Around a third of young people have not yet had their first dose of a Coronavirus vaccine across the UK, with a similar number reflected in Leicestershire – despite everyone in the country now having being offered…
