a day. according to the home secretary. now the taliban has made repeated pledges to respect african women's rights, but many are skeptical. on tuesday, the group said women's freedoms would be respected under its interpretation of islamic law. the taliban period empower more than 2 decades ago. so women shot out of public life and brutally punished for breaking the rules. many now fear a return to the past. i think it's just the farm. i don't know. they're trying to fool us. they're trying to confirm and to modernity. but i think i personally think that it's just something that they're trying to fool as we had, and i don't trust them for time to get on. it is the chairperson for afghanistan women's come. so she says the taliban should explain what version of islamic law it plans to apply as soon as possible. i am not afraid from natasha but,

7:14 pm
pretty much anywhere from vietnam to the east china sea. we seen some clusters of cells produced anywhere from 50 to about a 100 millimeters of rain. and, you know, checking in on borneo, we've got heavy concentration of rain here. but also forced to the ways the and some thunderstorms for jakarta, with a height of $33.00 degrees. that sure weather see you soon. ah. sponsored power cut on airways, madagascar, a breathtaking tropical paradise where its former protectors are now wanting to very we follow their journey as they put their lives on the line. brick and it's all madagascar cornell to 0. ah,
7:15 pm
ah ah, almost course cost the out of these are your top story so far today. the. there are reports, ton of insights is that open fire on protest is in the eastern afghan city of general. about 3 people were being killed and several others were wounded. the former president of afghan, this done s ref ghani is now in the united arab emirates. there had been confusion over his whereabouts since he left the country on sunday. he says he's been taken in with his family on humanitarian grounds, and u. k. f. guns have been protesting outside the parliament in london to demand the government do more to help people looking for asylum. the u. k. prime minister bars johnson said burton will do all it can with
7:16 pm
a humanitarian crisis. the u. s. will start offering covered 19 booster vaccinations which people as of september, the 20th, as the delta barrier causes a rise in the number of infections. the u. s. department of health and human services is recommending the boosters for those who've taken both doses of either the madana or the pfizer by on tech vaccinations at least 8 months ago. it will be offered to health workers and the elderly 1st life now to washington. and my colleague that my kind of so mike, for people at the c, d. c and the biden administration is the worry here that after 8 months, the efficacy of that 2nd booster does begin to wayne perhaps here as well. there has been a briefing by the cobra joint task force and they released 3 studies that have been undertaken by the cdc in recent weeks,
7:17 pm
which indicate very strongly that the efficacy of the various vaccines has dropped significantly. this is partly an issue of time, but also say the reports a result of the incredible strength of the delta variance. in some cases, the efficacy of the via the vaccine. for example, the fire of exceed has dropped from some 76 percent to roughly 46 percent. although the study stress that this is different in many areas, it's no common trend that one is seeing. so the recommendation now is that everybody get a 3rd boost a shot by from the 20th of september. that is 8 months off to the 2nd booster shot. this one is recommended, peter. but they're not going to take their eye off the ball when it comes to 2nd vaccines or the dosing of
7:18 pm
a 2nd vaccine for people who haven't had that 2nd vaccine just yet, because the percentage there is still pretty high. yes, it is. indeed, although the white house is saying that they are increasing numbers of people getting vaccinated, but still there is a cor. busy amount that is refusing to get back vaccinated or not getting vaccinated at all. and of course, this is a mess of concern. the task force referring to this new phase in the pandemic as one of the unvaccinated. the other issue that has come up is severe criticism from the world health organization about bonds. countries like the us providing a boost of vaccine while many countries in the world and many people have not received the 1st one, the emergency director of the w h o mike ryan released at it's basically saying that this is like a people who have life jackets being given another one, while others on the ship have no life jackets at all. the u. s. is pushing back
7:19 pm
against this type of criticism though. the talk for saying that 150000000 doses of vaccine have already been shipped from the u. s. to some 80 countries, the figure that they are looking at is some 600000000 doses of back seen to be shipped out. so the white house costs for saying, not only can americans get their booster drugs, but that does not mean that doses are not going to be shipped to other parts of the world. still the, as the criticism from the w h o, very strong. what math point out is that, that criticism was being made before the u. s. made its announcement about extra boosted doses. mike, thanks so much. mike hannon corresponded there outside the white house in dc. officials in australia, a warning corona virus cases of not yet peaked in sydney and they say people should braced themselves for more death. several areas have experienced a search and infections driven by the delta. barry and the state of new south wales reported

a record daily increase of more than 630 cases in the past 24 hours. the governments in heavy fines and more policing to enforce a lockdown in place since june. according to the data, we have, every person who has the virus is spreading it to at least more than one person. now for us to know that we've reached out, take that con, continue. so what the daughter is telling us in the last few days is that we haven't seen the worst of it. and the way that we stop these is by everybody staying at home. new zealand has reported 9 new cases of code 19 taking its total to 10. the government announced a 3 day lockdown as of tuesday. even the 1st case was announced before this week. there had been no local infections for almost 6 months old and new cases are the delta parent and they've been linked to an outbreak in australia. now to haiti, heavy rain brought on by a tropical storm,
7:21 pm
