10:05 am
. our diplomatic editor james bay joined us in cobbles. what else has he been saying? it was a long speech and certainly he's praising the commitment to the afghan security forces in the ongoing fighting, saying that many retired officers had joined up for the fight. but he also added that he felt there was no military solution to the situation in afghanistan. and i'm sure there was some observers watching that, wondering whether the taliban agreed with that assessment because it's all about all committed right now to the talks in doha bought, there is a question mark if they don't get well, they won't, they going to give up on the talks and then stop to try and take what they want militarily and clearly there's been no seas for the conflict continues at this stage. also worth noting that president gone is long speech to this gathering of african leaders and the international community focus the law on economics and
10:06 am
development. and i can tell you the privately many senior guns institute, including some in government of said that i struck, connie said these are the internet intellectually and academic used to work. the world bank is a guy before he came back to i've got a song to the fall of the taliban in 2001, but they said they'd like to see i should have gone acting more. as an inspirational leader, perhaps more of a bit of a general rather than the professor that i still see. and stand out show james, that the pace of us as tribes have been picking up is not having any impact on the tale. bon, advance right now. well certainly there is all going fighting and exactly where the 2 sides are, is always very hard to close that one moment to that one snapshot. but i think the place to look at very, very closely right now is can the province because it's the 2nd city of afghanistan
10:07 am
effectively. when the taliban run this country and the $990.00, it was the capital. there is fighting very, very close to kandahar city, which has been on getting in recent days overnight were told by the local hospital, 17 civilians, engine including women and children, were told to africa. police officers dead. the government. those saying that in kandahar province, in the last 24 hours, they have killed 10 taliban also was telling you outside canada city about 45 minutes drive to the border with pakistan. spin bolduc. well, let me just one of the border points for probably the most important. that's the time that i've taken in recent weeks around. i've got some very worrying for land country to be losing its borders and we now here that's been bullied at border, is now fully open to trucks focused on fully reopened it. and that's important for the taliban because they get all the revenue for those trucks that are coming in. we hear from africa, ministry of finance,

10:09 am
restrictions doesn't seem able to stem the flow. certainly they are doing more tests now. but they are uncovering more clusters at the same time. we've seen the government come out the impact, the prime minister himself in the last couple of days with a fairly fiery response, saying that the, the reason the infections are climbing so quickly is because people weren't following the directions properly. but we've also seen a lot of people who, who are going out in the daytime, which is still permitted under the current regulation thing. we have to go for our businesses. we had to keep up as this is a life, even if it means risking health and catching cove at 19 of our businesses fail. so to we kind of course at the moment that said the curb at $900.00 response team is meeting today. it's probably going to introduce more straight measures at this stage. it's hard to know whether we're going to return to the very hard lockdown we are in at the start of the pandemic. but the government is running out of choices.
10:10 am
health services, other on the real strain here, hospital bed to be running in. in the last couple of days, the government has asked the international airport to open up a new terminal in an emergency hospital and they didn't even using a train carriages to treat a symptomatic covered patients. so they really are looking hard for a solution. but at the moment until they can get the vaccination program fully functioning, it doesn't look like they'll get things under control. how is the covered crisis, also breaking taboos and impacting the king? well, today is the king 69th birthday, and usually that would be the occasion for the big celebrations, particularly in the area around the grand palace that's all being cancelled today. we understand that maybe some mine and celebrations within the palace, but very much in private. nonetheless, discovery crisis has dragged the king into a certain extent. he is one of the wealthiest men in thailand and the crown

10:12 am
it should be transparent. and i think many people frustrated the vaccinations they should be getting on there. and the king is part of the problem in the pipeline. leave it there. thanks so much. tony chang. now the white house is considering requiring employees of the federal government to show proof of vaccination. otherwise, they may have to submit to regular cobit 19 testing and where a mosque cases in the u. s. continues climb, largely driven by the delta variant. on tuesday, the centers for disease control and prevention reversed it's mosque policy saying even vaccinated people should wear them indoors. well, you know, i've got a consideration right now, but if you're not actually, you're not nearly as smart as i thought you were. i started to be back by the vaccinate more we learn more,
