a lot of people who need medical assistance. they come to get on for medical assistance. many of those people also talk on the other side. sure indeed, of a precarious situation. and we've also heard that the budgets on the security boards that also be thing up the bordering area because they fear the counter offense. they're from the national army and i've got the fighting and few between that dollar bond and they did a trade discord, spell over the border. joe, the biggest on the military, also on very high alert that i'll just come all hot there and to show up. thank you the us says that will begin flying out afghan interpreters and other staff who helped american forces during the war. in late july, the government has issued around 2 and a half 1000 special. these is so fall. but a reported 18000 africans have applied. and the facing administrative delays,

the government says vaccine efficacy is weaker against the delta variant, but it's still urging people to get innoculated to help prevent serious illness and death. and malaysia has reported a record rise in corona, virus infections for the 3rd consecutive day. more than 13000 new cases being conserved. malaysian government is increasing. the number of hospitals dedicated to covered 19 patients. it's buying more beds and oxygen tanks on chloe has more from calling them for. health officials have a number of new cases is expected to increase because the highly infectious, delta varying has been detected in nearly every state. now the numbers do paint around the picture. there now more than 100000 active cases, that's a record high for malaysia. the number of new infection continues to outpace recoveries. health officials are allocating more resources and that includes allocating more funds so that private hospitals can taken non cove at $900.00

patients. this is necessary because more hospitals are non going to be converted to full cove at 1900 hospitals. they're going to be more beds as well. and health care workers are going to be mobilized from other states to the worst effected areas of florida, state and quality. now, hospitals which have had trouble finding space to store bodies and ongoing to be getting containers to function as temporary monks. they're also plans to make self, has kids go on to make available on sale? the hope is that new infections can be detected and isolated, quickly. health official se vaccination is the answer to this problem. but malaysia is planning to meet its target of fully vaccinating 40 percent of its population by the end of august and 60 percent by the end of september. but that's also provided that there are no delays in vaccine supplies. we're going back to indonesia now and as we said it's recorded, it's biggest stating increase in corona virus cases. jessica washington joins us

now live from jakarta, with more suggest indonesia is now surpassing india in terms of being a, his covered epi center. what does that look like on the ground? well on the ground it looks like a lot of what india experienced just a few months ago, where no matter how sick people are, it's difficult, almost impossible to get into hospital where the doctors are forced to turn away critically ill patients or even the public health clinics which are tossed with picking up some of that overflow of patients that hospitals cannot look after are also on the strain and have far too many sick patients to look after. in terms of the number of doctors they have where there are shortages of oxygen and essential medications. that is the situation in indonesia. and it's troubling as the data is the fact that indonesia has doubts a past. india, as asia is covered at the center,

the data is only an underestimate of the reality on the ground. these has long struggled with low rates of testing and some of the low cool data agencies trying to get a more accurate picture of just how many infections they might actually be. say that the death toll of 7 of around $70000.00 people is probably around 5 times less than the reality on the ground. and as i was saying, hospitals are on the immense pressure. and the government is trying to relieve some of that strain by creating new emergency facilities, including where we are right now. this used to be just a normal dormitory. now it is an emergency facility for cove at 900 patients. the government is also trying to scale up recruitment of health care workers to make up some of that shortfall. they all, they do say that there will be 2000 recently graduated doctors who will be deployed jacoby 900 hospitals as well as 20000 nurses to make up for some of that short fall . but the situation in jakarta and across java is reaching a crisis,

point and epidemiologist do want that. so far transmission does not appear to be slowing down. ok. jessica authorities are preparing for the worst case scenario. how much worse are they expecting it to get the difficult to describe that you can because already things all so dire. it's, we hear every day people searching for oxygen for their relative searching for medicine, even having to buy medicine from other islands from other provinces. because they can't find it here in the capital and the government just a few weeks ago was talking about a situation where 50000 daily cases would be the worst case scenario. but that's the reality already. and things are expected to get much worse. the indonesian government is now preparing oxygen in case there is an instance where they could be $100000.00 daily cases. it's also of concern that transmission appears to be rising

outside of jakarta. as much as dakota is struggling through this wave of infections as much as the hospital system is close to collect. there are concerns about what it would mean. it's a delta very, it becomes more prominent outside of jakarta, particularly in regions where health care infrastructure is lacking. or perhaps there isn't any at all when you're talking about remote areas. so that is the the worst case scenario that it's not just job as health care infrastructure that is stretched to its limits, but perhaps indonesia as a whole. i'll deserve jessica washington. they're in jakarta, thank you. the number of corona virus deaths in argentina has surpassed 100000. it's the 1st latin american country to go over them ticket 610 new deaths were recorded in a past 24 hours. but infection rates are falling, is more people get vaccination. teresa bar reports from one side of the federal was paid, ada is trying to recover from the loss of her parents. they both died of call with

months. fascinating each and every agincourt, man and woman. but it's also the associated economic crisis that has people here extremely concerned. poverty rates and unemployment have stored. i mean, covert and the countries battle with chronic long term economic difficulties, no filament. upon de ms. dine, it's not just the pandemic drowning us in this country. it is also the huge economic crisis. many relatives call us crying, not only because of the death, because i don't have the money to vary the loved ones. we have to act as like colleges to these people got argentine with one of the 1st countries in the region to impose strict locked down measures to prevent the spread of coven 19. and thanks to that x per se, the health care system survived earlier this year. the government, we impose some of those strict lockdown measures in an attempt to control the virus variance. many of those restrictions have now been suspended by the government maintains controls at the border and at the airport, we're only
