11:18 am
an influx of refugees and migrants. she's been criticized for taking this long travel to the border. harris says the trip was also meant to underscore the bytes and ministrations, more humane approach to immigration might have a repulse, describes what life is like for those waiting into wanna see. so make it into the united states. we're out in shopping in the one mexico. this is a port of entry, one of the many that you'll find along the us mexico border and what you see all around us is a migraine camp. human rights groups estimate there to be around 3000 people living in this camp. many of them are children living in unsanitary conditions, precarious conditions. and a majority of the folks that you'll see at this camp or from central america, countries like under water mala and we'll solve it, or many of them growing desperate to have an opportunity to plead their asylum cases to us official. now, apart from desperation, there's also a lot of hope at this camp that changing immigration policy in the united states
11:19 am
will mean that there were silent cases could soon be heard. now despite the fact that the bite administration has been phasing out trump era, immigration policies, specifically the so called migrant protection protocols that force many asylum seekers to wait and mexico while the cases were heard. there are still title 42, which sites the ongoing coban, 1900 health emergency. now this is probably the main reason why we're seeing so many people. thousands of people still stuck here on this side of the border. in millions of people in the and around district, his largest city have been ordered into a 2 week lock, turn sidney, seeing a fast growing cluster of the highly infectious delta. cool with variance. first identified in india, health officials say that break is spreading faster than any one could have imagined flare up as a shock for a city that had returns
11:20 am
a relative normality with few cases. we're going to do these, we need to do it properly. there's no point doing it's rate, i locked down and then having the bars continue to bubble away in the community. now, if after 7 days, there's a dramatic change in the trend. well, obviously we'll, we'll evaluate the situation. but at the stage, the best tilted box we had is that a 2 week period or until mid not the friday, the 9th of july is necessary in order to make sure we get to our target of your community transmission, which is always been our target from the beginning of the pandemic will joining us from cambra, dr. singer's and an iraqi associate professor of infectious disease at the string. the national university grades have you with us on al jazeera, many of us overseas have been quite envious of the way astray. lee had managed to control coven, and everyone was living under relative freedom, and that was changed. why do you think this locked in in sydney is necessary?
11:21 am
yes, will. in fact, this is the 1st time since cobit started, that sidney has locked down the whole city area. at the end of last year. they ring fence the northern region when there was an outbreak. but this is happened in the context of the delta variant appearing here, and be delta, very the period here. thought to be more infectious and we've heard about potential leasing transmission. and now we're seeing a number of cases being identified. who would have been infectious for a few days in different parts of the city? so there's a lot of concern which is led to this locked out. well, how did the sell to variance get in? because the street has very, very strict boards and controls. even people who have been double vaccinated age are still subject to very strict core and themes and so on and so forth. so how is it possible that the delta various got into the country,
11:22 am
right dos trailer has closed its borders. it doesn't mean that no one is coming into the country. so we are seeing a number of thousands of australians being repaired, created along with international, the international crews that bring them arriving in australia. and since this has started, we've had about 27 breaches within the hotel warranty system, which has ended up in the community causing generally very small outbreaks that have been terminated quickly. so that has been the issue and what, what is needed then to bring this under control? because if these strikes, quarantine, measures are subject to being broken, the country is never going to be covered secure. and so other measures abroad say, where is the st. louis, when it comes to vaccines, is that the only way that's as truly i can guarantee it will be covered for his own?
11:23 am
well, i think there is a big discussion in australia that has been for a long time about how to make hotel quarantine safer. and we're talking about having big purpose facilities built rather than having people stay in hotels, in the central business district area of the largest cities. and of course, all the p p making sure are tell current team work as a vaccination, all those, those measures you call in addition that correctly say what 80 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. it won't be such a big issue if a cobra cases introduced into the community. but we're a long way from that. we've got about 3 percent of the population fully vaccinated and about all about 25 percent of the population who received at least one of the vaccine 3 percent. that's a very small proportion of the population. why is the vaccination drive being so slow? right,
11:24 am
so if you actually look at other countries which have done really well at controlling cobit like south korea, taiwan new zealand, they've similarly had relatively slow roll up. now, part of it is, roll out, stop it a bit later than other countries. we want to see how the roll out went in other parts of the world. also, they have been supply issues with vaccines. and that's really to hit again at the moment with the 5, the vaccine. and with the ass presented vaccine, which has been the backbone of vaccine rollout. they've been hesitancy issues around side effects such as the clotting that we've all heard about. okay, great. thank you so much. thank you so much. talk to sent jaya, sent an i a k, a. joining us from cambra, thank you. thank you. now his hearts escape the worsening economic crisis. griffin, lebanon, jobs are scarce, and food and fuel are growing. ever more expensive. the currency value tumbles.

11:29 am
they look like little pebbles, and they are only in season for a month. these tiny mushrooms are incredibly hard to spot. they pop above the surface when the monsoon rains pull down to the crack in the jungle and refresh the spores just in the ground. the mushroom hunt is particularly important this year. the current on the high side of the border have been suffering to pet belongs to the long net correct tribe, famous for the distinctive brass bands that women wear around their necks. most of the tribes income comes from tourism. but that is stopped because of the kobe 19 pandemic. however, chefs across thailand are willing to pay high prices for these mushrooms. when cleaned the little round bulls, they usually sliced and added to dishes, bringing a pungent flavor of the forest. with a surprisingly crunchy texture, he said, yeah,
11:30 am
