a landmark judgement from pollution in jakarta is put on hold for the 7th time class. i can't afford to live here. no boy struggling to make ends made the challenges facing millions of americans as inflation continues to ron. ah, thousands of people in afghanistan who are hoping to lay before an august 31st deadline being told not to go to the airport the us and some of its allies have warned of a possible i still attack u. k armed forces minister says this credible intelligence, an attack is imminent. estrella is also urging it citizens to stay away thousands of scrambling to get out of afghanistan before the end of the month when evacuations are expected to end. for me on netflix or live to charlotte balice, who's in cavil? hello there, charlotte. what's the latest on the growing security concerns around the capital
11:02 am
sample? yeah, we're hearing more and more every day about growing security serious about the becoming increasingly dangerous. what heard about a threat around iso earlier in the week? it had been kind of in passing and no one had taken it that seriously. but then today and overnight. now, most countries are coming out and telling the people not to go to the airport because they are genuinely concerned about ice and targeting it. obviously there's a lot of crowds down there. there's not a lot of protection for those crowds and it is quite a soft target for them to access. i did off the telephone earlier if they could offer any more insight into exactly what kind of threat were looking at. and they said, i still have planned car bombings in and around cobb whole airport will maximum damage and they said even us, so sticking around to secure the perimeter to protect the americans. and everyone inside is dangerous for us to keep our people on the ground. so in the meantime,
11:03 am
how these evacuations are going to continue keeping in mind that the 1500 people with us still in and around carnival, trying to get on some of the slides. us and other nations have started doing what they call like outside the wire operations, where they trying to be able to get people buy a helicopter and bring them back in there. also trying to streamline some of these evacuations by putting people on bosses at different places around town, checking their paperwork and making sure they do actually have verified paperwork and are entitled to get on some of these evacuation flights and trying to streamline them through and get them through the gate quickly, so they're not willing about outside and the taliban a trying to figure out what was that i can tell you that at some of these places, where do you feel like gathering to get on buses? word is got out. and now those kind of pockets of just, hey, off even outside the road, hotel of hundreds of people gathering,
11:04 am
hoping that they might be able to get on one of these buses and get out with now only 5 days remaining. that was what i was gonna say. charlotte, in terms of those 5 days, it's tuesday, that deadline is looming. what's likely to happen at the airport off the us, go ahead and withdraw. it is a, it is a huge question. i mean, i've talked to us diplomats in the past and raised this even months ago, and they said no if, if there are no foreign forces at the airport, we will have to leave. we cannot take the risk of the telephone, controlling the airport. and it had been long negotiations between the taliban and turkish troops that took would stay here and got to them. the americans were happy with that. now the telephone who put their foot down and said to be no foreign troops on the ground, that includes that. you will have to be gone by tuesday, but they are saying that we want some technical assistance. we hope you leave your technical personnel behind to help us run the air force because they've had the, i think the brain drain where they are struggling to find even air traffic
11:05 am
controllers. so in terms of keeping the functioning, they do need international support to do that. so the still a lot of questions about who will remain, how it work, if the americans and other with no, i can trust them enough to say ok, we will keep bringing flights and we will leave us embassy stuff on the ground even without having foreign troops here, there is one other option and tend to hire for it just reopened to international life. today the 1st flight arrived to g with some doctors that borders saw, the 1st people to receive stamps and the passport from the la mac, amorous. so even if the cargo cover the airport is shut down with some interruption, there is a glimmer of hope that there will still be international flights possible through tend to hot air force. plenty of moving parts to the sun. thank you for the update . charlotte bell is live for us in campbell. some countries are already wrapping up their withdrawal of frances, a prime minister,
11:06 am
says the country will no longer be evacuating people from cobble a port from friday night. almost 2000 and french nationals and afghans have been flown to france and hungry has finished pulling out after bringing the last of its forces back to budapest, in as strongly as has reported more than a 1000 new infections for the 1st time since the sound of the clover 19 pandemic. the majority are in the most popular state of new south wales, and the delta variance is being claimed for the rise and infections and deaths. officials have been urging more people to get vaccinated. and new zealand is dealing with its largest cluster, yet more than $270.00 infections have been reported since the start of the latest gap rank. the governments already imposed strict lockdown, but there's concern those efforts are being hampered. we are seeing locked downs
11:07 am
impact on our numbers, but there is no doubt that delta is changing the way those numbers look previously when you wind up to lockdown. anyone who might have had carpet but wasn't yet infectious to others. we suddenly put behind closed doors and then stopped and try chains of transmission. with delta, people are infectious much sooner, and they appear to give it to more people. let's bring in catherine bennett. she's the chair in epidemiology at the institute for health transformation and taking university. she joins us on skype via from melvin. hello, catherine, thanks for joining us for so long. strongly and new zealand we're able to contain the virus. so what's going wrong? well as stouter, that's the bottom line we were relying on not just keeping board is closed, but also tracking down any cases that did get into the community and causing that breaks down as quickly as we could. now, how to keep those at the border?
11:08 am
that's just more transmission occurring because of that high level of infectiousness. and now when it's in the community, our normal test trace and isolate responses can't keep up with the virus because people can be infectious within 3048 hours, but even 30 hours of their 1st exposure. so that means you know what, methods no longer work way. now just trying to get the nation right up. so we can get out of lockdown, which they now had to bring in, in order to try and keep those case numbers as low as they can. while we really accelerate that explanation program, and victorians have been in lockdown for some on and i plus $200.00 day trial. he was prime minister repeatedly said it's not a rice true in relation to the vaccine roll out. his chin is clearly changed. that's right. i mean, we originally thought, you know, october the deadline was, was the target to get enough people vaccinated where we could start the 8th restrictions that started looking possible. because it was incredibly slow,
11:09 am
a complicated rollout. bottles that it will be sent to the agency and we need to reduce our community transmission to very low level. so there was that complacency building as well. even when fascination was available to certain age groups, we didn't say that quick uptake is turned it around quite interesting. and we now have, we're on target by the end of october to, to be at 70 percent vaccination rates in that community. so if that continues, then we've core out to where we were. but in fact, we could have been a lot further along and prevented the large case numbers we're seeing now, particularly new south wales. has we got those back to nation right stuff that sooner. the vaccination, right? of 70 to 80 percent. i mean you're saying that is on track, so it's likely to happen in october. so what will that means to the states of victoria and new south wells will have to stay locked down until then we'll start
11:10 am
to say, in the latter part of next month, the vaccination at levels where it will start to really support what we're trying to do with our public health measures, after that point, we want to get the case numbers down, particularly as well because it really is overloading that, to try and isolate capacity. so i think we're going to stay locked down in various forms in place until we really do hand over to those vaccination levels. and that's probably not going to happen in october. that's probably november. so we'll see, i think a gradual shift to transition to where we can rely more on the same level. so i think this is going to be a process that then transition out of curving 0 thinking, which is where we got to in these last few months, much more into that how we live. we've covered, but particularly trying to get those levels up. so we can handle or not rely on lockdown because as you say, some say, particularly victoria, now, you know, well on the 200 days of lockdown. well, thank you for your insides,
11:11 am
catherine bennett. they're the chair in epidemiology at taken university. appreciate your time. thank you. the director of the african centers for disease control says the coven, 19 vaccine rollout across africa has not gone, as well as planned. he told my colleagues to have home the countries that originally committed to support the callback's initiative ended up buying most of the vaccines for themselves. the role of the cobit 900 vaccine on the continent has been to this appointment as we speak today. less than 2 percent of the eligible population in africa has been a fully vast net, which is very unfortunate. if you recognize that we have to ease immunize up to about 70 percent of our population. and we are less than 2 percent. that tells you that we have an incredibly long journey to go to get to where we have to be. it
11:12 am
has been challenging for africa because we did not produce vaccines. we were hoping and relying on the cover and facility which is a mechanism that was set up by gobby, what had organization there coalition for epidemic preparedness innovation was the kovak scheme and sort of the un auspices a disappointment or a failure because it hasn't really helped africa and the way it should have the implementation didn't really follow through it because of what i just explained earlier. that there countries that mid pledges committed to supporting cobra, ended up buying most of the vaccines. and you can watch a full interview with dr. john kanga song on told to al jazeera that's at $430.00 jim tate. this saturday. japan has suspended 1600000
