6:06 pm
gone into detail. well, the taliban has taken more territory in recent weeks than it did at any time since it fell from power. 20 years ago. in may. it controlled about 20 percent of of ghana, stan, but as us and other funding troops have been withdrawing. taliban fighters are ramping up that attacks. and the last 2 months, half the country has fallen under taliban rule. it's a critical test for the afghan government as the fight as advance and surround the capital capital. in the past 24 hours, the on group has moved in from the outskirts to the hearts of the cities last august, and kind of hot diplomatic attitude. james base reports from the capital capital as fighting has intensified and moved in to 3 of afghanistan's main cities. the president dash ref connie has again been addressing his people. he spoke to members of parliament. the 3rd speech gone is made in a week. each time he's talked about the grave security situation,
6:07 pm
but there's been no fresh action announced no details of his plan to reverse the taliban advance where they need a moment. been it that we are aware of current problems and dangers, god willing. the security and defense forces will be getting stronger day by day in the coming 6 months. and we will reach an optimal situation again. so a 6 month time line to turn things around, but with absolutely no detail things moving very fast and they're not going the government's way. and some diplomats getting impatient with gone his approach. they believe he needs to rally his people around a new detailed military plan. now, as the taliban makes advances, their hand is strengthened in any future negotiations. it's expected talks in doha will resume in the next 2 weeks. the taliban former finance minister now living in cobble says it's time for the president to accept the groups demands to release
6:08 pm
a further 7000 troops in exchange for a ceasefire. but they're out of the door much. i'm a said to stop all fighting and to bring and implement to cease fire, both sides of the conflict, the government, and the time the bog should take steps to build trust. it's clear the afghan government needs not just a plan to turn things around on the battlefield, but also to change the national mood. there's a perception, even among some governments supporters, that the taliban is now winning. james bays al jazeera, cobble where the u. s. in britain are among countries calling for an immediate cease fire across afghan. i stand there embassies highlighting allegations from of kenneth times independent human rights commission that the taliban massacred civilians in the time of spin bull dyke on the border with pakistan. taliban fighters to control them on july, the 14th posting on twitter, the embassy said if the accusations are proved, they may amount to war crimes. on in the meantime,
6:09 pm
the united states is says it's going to take in thousands more african refugees have been working with the u. s. because of the increased threat from the taliban. the expanded refugee program will include off guns linked to us funded projects, as well as non governmental and media organizations. as a taliban games, more grimes, the refugees say they're getting more worried about their safety. more than 200 afghan interpreters arrived in the u. s. on friday, or roslyn. jordan's following developments from the us state department, a ros. this sounds in principle like a good offer from the, the u. s. is it as good as it sounds? well, it all comes down to whether you are the people who are theoretically eligible under this expanded refugee designation can actually get out of the country. that is the 1st step for any person who wants to claim refugee status in another country. they
6:10 pm
have to leave their home country, and this is a very difficult prospect because many of the people who were working with the u. s . based media organizations or n g o r in parts of the country now controlled by the tall bond. the us military is for all intents and purposes, basically out of the country, it has not been involved in the relocation so far of afghan interpreters and their families. and so because they weren't involved in that process, it's basically the same situation with those who work with n g o or media organizations. these people are essentially on their they have to find their way out of the country in order to start the process of trying to come to the united states. and the u. s. embassy in the u. k. embassy, demanding a ceasefire from the taliban. is there any indication that the taliban might be willing to listen? it doesn't seem as if it is they are making considerable progress in reclaiming
6:11 pm
territory in many parts of the country. and they are also re establishing their political control in those areas which they have regained from afghan national security forces. so unless there is some sort of breakthrough in diplomatic talks underway in doha, it's unlikely that the taller bond is going to stop what it's doing. there wasn't even a cease fire over the recent eat holiday. because when jordan talking to us from the us state department, ross, thanks very much indeed. as well as violence. soft guns also having to deal with floods and landslides, at least a 100 people have been killed. buskey workers in noticed on province and diggings, who deborah for survivors. the districts on the taliban console, which the government says makes it difficult for it to provide assistance, food and shelter. with all my sleeping in my house in 10 minute the floods came in troy,
6:12 pm
everything 10 members of my family were killed. we've just found a child and a woman. the others are still missing. 20 more i had on the news are including the court jones once again in the case of for palestinian families fighting against forced expulsion from their homes in occupied east jerusalem. a referendum in prosecuting mexico was former president george. few voters written questions about his legitimacy and olympic boxes. investigate after an athlete breaks the laws with a protest on the podium. in an outbreak of several 100 cases of the delta variant in china is forcing millions of people into new locked jones and sort of started in non ging for 9 airport cleaners . tested positive infections were traced back to a flight which arrived from russia. one and a half 1000000 people are now under lock time into the city of young jersey and
6:13 pm
outbreak. a theater there, so cases rise nationwide as tourist returned home. the government's cut transport links to areas with positive cases. it's also cordoned off residential compounds and put some people in quarantine and several new cases of emerged in will. hon, where covered 1900 was 1st detected in late 2019. they were reported among migrant workers at a train station. the delta variant accounts for a large majority of new corona, virus infections around the world. now you can see this and some of the data being compiled by co variance dot org and, and he says recording about 40000 cases a day and out of the ones tested by health officials. the delta variant made up about 93 percent. there's been about 11000 new infections a day in south africa. the delta variant accounted for about 80 percent of those in the u. k. nearly all corona virus cases show the delta vary and it's also reporting about 30000 infections a day in the u. s. 93 percent of tests being analyzed,
6:14 pm
a showing the delta various, the 7 day average there has been about 70000 cases, a dozen. i know these father smith is of x and ologist and professor of emergency emerging infectious diseases at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine . she's joining us via skype from the sun in switzerland. it's good to have you with us on august the the, let's talk about the situation in china, given the fact that china has more, perhaps experience of dealing with us than any other country in the world. do you think it's prepared to deal with this latest outbreak? china, i will, i think all the plans again, kinda concerned about the reputation as well. that has learned from the experience. it was successful over the past, more than 12 months, and we'll do everything just off the brain. do you think that the way that china dealt with the break originally will still apply in cases of the delta variance or
6:15 pm
they're going to have to change their approach? so indeed, the delta band is of more concerned because because it's bored, transmissible, it's more contagious. even short contact time can facilitate at the transmission the spread. we know that the while the higher the duration of shedding is higher. so it just, it just worries some variance. so i think china will, will continue to use all the tools that they use in the past. but in addition, they have 2 new tools. and 11 obviously is, and they do a lot of math testing which will help possible early on in the, in the upgrade because we just did not have enough tests. so they doing real math testing on millions of people. and it's incredible achievement, really. second, of course we now do have the most effective tool at hand,
6:16 pm
and that is, and they're just faxing. so trying to handle it out to back seeing, but i think more than 1600000000 people have been vaccinated. so we would expect that we will be more mile of the severe disease, but not everyone bets an agent. so we will still see that and hope plantation. one of the differences with this, this break in china is of course the, the scale of the issues you were just talking about there. all those china has been able to run pockets vaccination program. we're still talking about cases which are spreading further across china and some of those areas of course, are going to be remote areas, aren't they? so there is still an issue in terms of managing to get to all of the case to be able to effectively get ahead of the wave of infections covering china. i think it's, i need to realize that the kind of brig really does pose a threat to the country and that is because it's a small fire everywhere. i think more than 50 problems that are now affected.
6:17 pm
although the mobile number, i think is about 300 pill, again, what we see in europe or the us it, the worry here is it, then it is gathered around the country and it makes it much harder to control. one of the key elements of dealing with this virus throughout the course of the pandemic is of course been sharing information. do you think that given the experience that china has in this, that is going to be more willing to share its experiences? and it's knowledge with the rest of the world, particularly for example, with the united states and with india as well, who are dealing with significant case numbers. i do think so. i do hope so. i think we can hold on for each other. this is the time right globally, we have to come together and work together. daughter, i mean why smith, we appreciate your joining us and i'll just to thank you very much. indeed for your time cases uncovered 19 or rising across the asia
6:18 pm

seekers in 162 countries. its goal is to ensure at least 20 percent of refugees vaccinated by the end of this year. but that on a number of obstacles, including that acquirement of identification papers, as well as a lack of access to the internet. a language barrier can also lead to vaccine hesitancy. you want to see are, is calling and countries with surplus doses to share them with developing countries . well, i mean, as a spokesperson for the united nations high commissioner, for middle east and north africa, she says many countries hosting large refugee populations a struggling to secure vaccines in the 1st place. we have the although out $126.00 up commission where the $500.00 people most of them had promised that refugees will be included and roll out. however, many of you don't have enough ac seem themselves. so the key to losing
6:23 pm
record is that in the national vaccine and the emission go out and that should, will never happen before an equitable rule out of that happens all over. because we have, for the month that we are living in income and the income and youth come to have not had active or will access to enough to vaccinate the whole population. or at least a significant percentage of the population to ensure some kind of more of the 775 percent of the vaccine doses that had been administered weren't. why had been done on the was refugees are not living in this country. and so they're actually back and back the nation has to do with the accuracy of the 2 countries that poor and they don't have what we very much and strongly at the
