this is it even churches looking for august as to deport the sense of injustice is still felt today. the leaders in new zealand polynesian communities welcomed the apology and they hope it'll help people of the pacific islands move on. the. ready news senior tyler bond figures say they will not allow an extension to a deadline of august 31st for us forces to leave afghanistan. pressure grows on the u. s. president to delay the troop withdrawal from afghanistan as he goes into a g 7 meeting to discuss the situation. i hadn't speaker this is live from the house or coming up after trying for years to
5:01 pm
become president zambia as new leader has been inaugurated. and he's promising to turn around the economy and stalling vaccinations in haiti report on the challenges facing a much delayed drive to protect people against cupboard 19 and an escape from a life on the scenes children in gaza onto a bus to watch a movie. ah, hello, the toddler, bon says it will not allow foreign troops to remain in afghanistan beyond the agreed deadline of august 31st, which is exactly a week away. that means the evacuation of thousands of foreign nationals and african strength scrambling to get out must happen by them. the g 7 leaders are meeting this hour to decide on whether they will keep their troops in afghanistan beyond that deadline. and what they can do to convince the taliban what a press conference in cobble, the spokesman for the arm grew,
5:02 pm
says it does not want afghans to leave the country. by the other one. we will not allow an extension beyond august 31st. so the u. s. should remove and evacuate all personnel by the deadline. all their contractors must leave. we are not happy to extend the deadline. and after that we will have a separate stance and position following the deadline. this lumnick amber is trying to encourage people to go home, but the americans are inviting people to the airport. their 1st policy is continuing to board people on plains. the airport access route has been close to avoid stampedes. hotels, traffic is live for us in cobble. so charles, lot of things were covered in that news conference, not the least of which is the concerns that many people who have had about the way the taller bond have been treating people. typically women, what did they, what else did they have to say at that press conference?
5:03 pm
well, a whole host of questions asked by local and international media at that press conference . i'll read you through some of the, the main points. in addition to saying that there was no extension of that deadline to turn, the band spokesman said that the child would not allow any group to use afghan to stand to attack foreign countries. of course, huge concern amongst the international community, about whether the volleyball would harbor groups like al qaeda, which of course they did during the before before they were overthrown by nature forces in 2002001 that's not a bunk spokesperson. also saying that i cannot confirm whether that reporting meeting between the c i c a i c i a director and the tyler bond leader happened that was reported in the american media that the ca director came for
5:04 pm
a specific meeting with the new taliban leader. was also said that there was no list of people targeted for reprisals. we have forgotten everything in the past. that's what was said. of course, there has been a lot of focus on attention on, on people who are desperately afraid to leave and want to leave this country because they see themselves as being targeted. so one thing for the top of our leadership to say that there is no list of people who could be targeted for reprisals, but basically you tell that to the thousands of people killing up at the airport at the moment he said that the media had started working and that every day freedom of media improves. well, yet again, there's huge distrust amongst the local media here and many of the, the media workers that have worked in local media and those that have worked with international media in recent years, again, or at the airport waiting to get on planes or indeed have already left he also
5:05 pm
said that the crowd at the airport could go home with guarantee of their security. but of course they've also said that people can, can leave this country off the deadline expires. but on commercial flights, if they have the right paperwork, but nobody knows. when these commercial flights will start and it was also said that it's all of on don't want the embassies closing. and they guaranteed security . also crucially with so much attention today at the un human rights council, it's all about addressed. these accusations that are being made about the schuman rights abuses that they have committed. and so members or participants at that meeting at the you and say, continue to be committed by the out about. and this, this into the response that was made with respect specifically to the rights of women and girls. and you know,
5:06 pm
the women safety and security is our responsibility. sometimes our security teams are not well trained enough in dealing with women. so they do encounter problems sometimes for that reason. so we've requested that women remain in their homes until we develop a procedure, but they won't be terminated. they will continue receiving their salaries even if they're not showing up to work. so incredible pressure, seemingly on the taliban by the international community. huge distrust no matter the rhetoric coming out to cobble by the leadership, and now shoot pressure on the international community to get these thousands of people that still remain in this country that wants to leave. get them out before that deadline expires. cha, stratford live 1st. there in cobble a lead us all the g 7 nations are holding a virtual meeting on the crisis. us president joe biden expected to decide on
5:07 pm
whether to keep american troops in cobble later on tuesday. white house correspondent, kimberly how could that joins us live from washington? d c. so kimberly what more we're hearing. well, we are going to hear from the u. s. president, following that virtual meeting with g 7 leaders. and there really is a lot of pressure on joe biden to make a decision about whether to extend that august 31st deadline. so that more evacuations of backend civilians as well as americans and others from the west can be continued. now it's important to note that initially, when you as president joe biden announced this withdrawal of us troops, he had put the date at september 11th, then moved it up. and so what we know is that the ca director william burns was meeting with taliban leaders to discuss the possibility of an extension beyond
5:08 pm
august 31st in order to allow the evacuation to continue. and we should point out that just the last 24 hours, another 21000 civilians have been evacuated, some tens of thousands since mid august. but what we are understanding from the outcome of that meeting and as we have been discussing is the taliban says that august 31st is a red line. in other words, those evacuations cannot continue past that point. now, the reason that the deadline for discussion is today is because there are some 6000 us troops working on these evacuation. and in order for them to meet that deadline, they will have to begin with drawing as early as friday. so this is why the us president is weighing all of these considerations and we're watching very carefully, as we know, he's getting a lot of pressure from allies like france and britain in order to extend that
5:09 pm
deadline. so the u. s. president will be making comments about what his decision is . we expect in the coming hours. we're also expected to hear from the pentagon spokesman as well. kimberly, thanks for that. kimberly happy lives in washington. let's talk now to nadine barbara whose life force in london looks like a g 7 lead is divided on the extension of the deadline. what's likely to happen? well, has him? yes. i think the division ready is everybody else. and then joe binder joe biden has indicated that that, that doing will be respected. we just heard from charles in, cocoa, about what the taliban. a saying about any extension, really not goods in their opinion. so bar is johnson. yes. a's understood to be bringing up the idea of a few more days for evacuations to happen. but just a few hours ago,
5:10 pm
his defense minister defense secretary ben wallace described the chances of an extension of the same, saying that it was unlikely. he said that's not only because of what the taliban is saying, but because of what the u. s. president had been saying in recent days, he said it is definitely worth also trying and we will. but at the same time, there is an acknowledgement from the u. k m by other governments that it doesn't just depend on job by them, but it means the taliban and also agreeing to an extension. so really, i think a lot of governments now beyond this issue of the alex, from cobb airport, looking at further evacuations beyond the military flights. for example, germany's foreign minister, high co mass has on tuesday said, even, even if all of the evacuations, if there is sorry, an extension to be evacuated of
5:11 pm
a few days, that wouldn't be enough time to get all the germans and the americans. that those countries want out of the country, so that needs to be a plan. in the longer term. he's also warning it would take us 2 days to get just the military personnel out of afghanistan. as kimberly was hinting that raises the prospect of actually any flights bringing out some billions endings. well before next tuesday that the baba live for us in london. thank you. i doubt the cannibal says it will allow civilians to leave afghanistan even after foreign forces withdrawal. but many afghans are skeptical and continue to arrive a combo apple hoping to get out shallow. bellis reports from their cell phones of people that cobble airports going nowhere beyond the gauge of planes that us

5:19 pm
lead to further outbreaks. i hate, he was one of the last countries in the americas to begin a coven 19 vaccination campaign. but in the midst of its political turmoil and an earthquake, which is devastated part of the country, south west region, that campaign has now stored john home and has more from the capital puerto prince . another person in haiti vaccinated this time, it's thought to call do mass failed to get that. he's in the vast minority firstly because vaccines took so long to get here. haiti's campaign only began in july. and now, because even though they finally arrived, few seem to want them. the u. s. supplied half a 1000000 jobs under the kovacs mechanism. only 20000 have been applied. this why? in part it's because of this. the empty covey board that dr. colleen shows us in the non for profit gas gear hospital. i suppose at one point,
5:20 pm
you would have thought that this would be full of people. it was full last year. it was full. now it is very calm. we don't have any admissions. haiti's health ministry says only around $600.00 people have died of cobra. 19. the infection rate is also far lower than in many of the places. nobody knows exactly why. but since the pandemic isn't taking off, neither is the vaccination campaign for down inside of the business that really present him hazy. and if it's not present, there is no need for them to get vaccinated. in this market, the streets were to the faces there. many don't believe in cove, it or mistrust. the vaccines like him, i don't where because i believe in god. i don't believe in what people say the human being lives all the time. they never speak the truth. that's why i only believe god. we took to do been new because he was one of only
5:21 pm
a handful of people we saw covering up i believe in science, who i believe in my mask. he told us the limited public health campaign. another reason vaccination is to would have done little to convince others. this is one of the here post to do with the we've been able to find here in the capital port, the print i want medical experts say to us is the golden window of opportunity. it could be being missed because people now could be being vaccinated before mode. thirdly, strings as curve it possibly take hold here in the country. the government has other things on its mind. not least recently assassinated president followed up by a major a quake in the country. southwest, the latter could yet turn into a super spreader with hospital full and a multitude of foreign organizations flowing into help, or coven may, for whatever reason, continue to swim around this caribbean nation. if so, it will be the 1st piece of good fortune haiti's had in a long time,

john home and i'll just get a hold to bring. a parts of australia's most popular states have begun nightly curfews to contain the latest outbreak of covey. 19 new south wales has been struggling to limit the delta variance outbreak under the countries so called 0 co good policy in neighboring you zealand. the government is hoping to increase its vaccination rates during another nationwide lockdown as well. hey, reports enlarge parts of sidney. the streets and now off limits at night. around 2000000 people have been ordered to stay home from 9 in the evening until 5 in the morning. the curfew covers areas of city most affected by the latest outbreak of the covert 19 delta variance. any one called violating it could be fined and ordered to isolate for 14 days. but as the new restrictions were coming in, the leader of new south wales was already talking about easing some for people who
5:23 pm
are fully vaccinated. that's now around 30 percent of the state's population. obviously 1st and foremost, priority is to protect human life until it's fairly as possible while we do that. but we also have to accept that there's been no fatal nation on the planet that's escaped. the delta strain that's escape having cases and we just have to be real about that. but the handling of the situation by new south wales has increased tension with the leaders of other states. they say the virus must be suppressed before lockdown can be relaxed. sidney was slow to impose restrictions at the start of the outbreak leading to cases in other australian cities. and new zealand. new zealand has one of the lowest infection rates in the world, but like australia, it also has a low vaccination rate, which is partly why the government says it will continue with its strategy of trying to eliminate the virus while speeding up vaccinations before beginning to open its borders early next year. in response to new zealand spoof positive cases in 6 months, prime minister jacinta rod durn ordered

a nationwide lockdown. it was introduced last week and has already been extended until at least friday in the largest city oakland. its been extended until the end of the month. it's a tough time for businesses like fledgling events, company, red herring, but polling suggest there is public support for the government strategy of short, sharp lock downs. we're just had a crazy amount of time that we had know covered in the country, which is allowed for us to run our. we're going to have mass gathering up by that. although, right now, no, i do. we just know that if you do, just wait for it to get stamped out. it's worth the long run. with cases rising each day, the prospect of having those mass gatherings anytime soon seems a long way away. but the government believes if the latest lockdown is working, the numbers could begin falling in the next few days. wayne, hey, al jazeera toner,
