and travels to the remote app back town, where many of the indigenous inmates come from the, on our, to 0 me the al jazeera. when ever use all, ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm north taylor. this is the, i'm just here. a news i live from london coming up. a modus vivendi must be found and quickly that allows money to flow to work down the stand to prevent a total breakdown of the economy and social order. you and envoy, and i got us,

john warner, the countries facing a start breakdown. dozens of foreigners have left us kind of some of the 1st international passenger flying from chicago. since the taliban took charge, president biden expected to make vexations mandatory for all federal employees when he unveiled his drug st. to tackle the latest us surge. and we report migrants from across latin america, risking their lives to cross the deserts into chile and in fort phases proposal to say, well come, every 2 years has gone down well with the head of european football is one that seems made boy caught the torment. if the plans go ahead i the you and envoy and i've got a song says the taliban has carried out reprisal killings since taking over the country. despite its promises of amnesty,

deborah lyons also urged the well to keep the money flowing into afghans tongue or could suffer a story breakdown. she told the security council the country could be set back generations without economic help. there is an immediate and pressing need to deliver on a huge scale is central to managerial aid in areas such as health, food security, non food items and sanitation. and still secondly, there is an additional looming crisis to which i must draw your attention. billions of assets and dollar and donor funds have been frozen by members of the international community. the understandable purpose is to not is to deny these funds to the de facto taliban administration. inevitable effect, however, will be a severe economic downturn that could throw many more millions into poverty

and hunger. may generate a massive wave of refugees from afghanistan. and indeed, set up gather, stand back for generations. taking straight tennyson into president barton and his plans to tackle a covert surge in the us. many of us are frustrated with nearly 80000000 americans who are still not vaccinated. even though the vaccine is safe, effective, and free. it might be confused about what is true, what is false about covered 90. so before outline the new steps to fight covert 19th that i'm going to be announcing the night that me give us some clear information about where we stand. first, we have concern, we've made considerable progress and battling over 19 when i became president, about 2000000 americans were fully vaccinated today. over 175000000 americans

have that protection. before i took office, we had northern facts seen for every american. just weeks in office. we did. the week before i took office on january 20th, and this year, over 25000 americans died that we covered 90 last week that grim weekly, tall was down 70 percent. and in 3 months, before i took office, our economy was faltering, creating just 50000 jobs in mind. are now averaging $700000.00 new jobs a month. in the past 3 months. this progress is real, but while america is much better shape than it was 7 months ago, when i took office, i need to tell you a 2nd fact. we're in the top stretch and it could last for a while. highly contagious. don't a very good that i began to warn america about back in july spread late summer,

like it did another country before us. while the vaccines provide strong protection for the vaccinated, we read about here about and we see the stories of hospitalized people, people on their deathbeds among the vaccinated over the past few weeks. this is a pandemic of the on vaccinated. and it's caused by the fact that despite america having unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost 5 months free vaccines have been available and 80000 different locations. we still have nearly 80000000 americans who failed to get the shot. and to make matters worse, for elected officials, actively working to undermine the fight against covered 19. instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated, a mascot their ordering mobile mort for the vaccinated diet from coven in their

communities. this is totally unacceptable. 3rd, you wonder how all this adds up? here's the man. the vast majority of americans are doing the right thing. really 3 quarters of the eligible have gotten at least one shot. but one quarter has not gotten any specially 80000000 americans not vaccinated. and the country as large as ours, that's 25 percent minority. that 25 percent can cause a lot of damage and they are the unvaccinated over crowd. our hospitals are over running, emergency rooms, intensive care units, leaving no room for someone with a heart attack or pancreatitis, or cancer, and forth. i want to emphasize that the vaccines provide very strong protection

from severe illness from coven 19. i know there's a lot of confusion and misinformation, but the worldly scientists confirm that if you are fully vaccinated, your risk of severe illness um covered 19 is very low. in fact, based on available data from the summer, only one out of every $160000.00 fully vaccinated americans was hospitalized for covert per day. these are the facts. so here's, we stand, the path ahead. even with the delta variant, it's not nearly as bad as last winter or it makes it incredibly more frustrating is we have the tools, the combat covered 19 and the stink minority of americans supported by so think minority of elected officials or keep innocent turning the corner these pandemic politics, sorry for our mega are making people sick,

causing non vaccinated people to die. we cannot allow these actions to stand in the way of protecting the large majority of americans who have done their part. want to get back to life as normal as your president. i'm announcing to night a new plan to require more americans to be vaccinated to combat those blocking public health. my plan also increases tested for tech, so our economy and will make our kids safer is schools. it consists of 6 broad areas of action and many specific measures. and each that he shows acts as you can read more about and white house dot gov. whitehouse dot gov. the measures these are going to take time to have full impact. but if we m implement i believe and the scientists indicate that the months ahead we can reduce

the number of on vaccinated americans. decrease has hospitalizations in depth and allow our children to go to school safely and keep our economy strong by keeping businesses open. first, we must increase vaccinations among the unvaccinated with new vaccination requirements. are nearly 80000000 eligible americans who have not gotten vaccinated . many said they were waiting for approval from the food and drug administration, the f d a or last month, the f. d. a granted that approval. so the time for weight is over. the summer we made progress to the combination of vaccine requirements and incentives, as well as the f. d, a approval. 4000000 more people got their 1st shot in august, then they did in july. we need to do more. this is not about freedom for personal

choice. it's about protecting yourself and those around you. the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love. my job as president is to protect all americans. so tonight, i'm announcing that the department of labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80000000 workers to ensure their work forces are fully vaccinated. or show a negative test, at least once a week. some of the biggest companies are already requiring those united airlines. disney tyson's food and even fox news. the bottom line, we're going to protect vaccinate at work, or some unvaccinated co workers are going to reduce the spread of cobra 19 by

increasing the share of the workforce that is vaccinated in businesses all across america. my plan will extend the vaccination requirements that i previously issued in the health care field already i've announced will be required vaccinations and all nursing home workers who treat patients on medicare and medicaid because i have that federal authority tonight. i'm using that same authority to expand that to cover those who work in hospitals, home health care facilities or other medical facilities. a total of $17000000.00 health care workers. if you're seeking care at the health facility, you should be able to know that the people treat and you are vaccinated. simple, straightforward, period. next, i will side an executive order that will now require all executive branch federal employees to be vaccinated off. and i saw another executive orders that were

require federal contractors to do the same. if you want to work with the federal government, do business with us get vaccinated. if you want to do business with the federal government, vaccinate your workforce. and tonight, i remove more of the last remaining obstacles that make it difficult for you to get facts. name is the department of labor will require employers with $100.00 or more workers to give those workers paid time off to get vaccinated. no one should lose pay in order to get vaccinated or take a love $1.00 to get vaccinated. today in total, the vaccine requirements and my plan will affect about $100000000.00 americans, 2 thirds of all workers, and for other sectors. i issue this appeal to those of you running large entertainment venues from sports arenas to concert venues. to movie theaters,

please require folks to get vaccinated or show a negative test as a condition of entry into the nation's family. physicians, pediatrician's, g, p, a general practitioner, are the most trusted medical voice to your patients. you may be the one person when you get someone to change their mind about being vaccinated. tonight, i'm asking each of you to reach out to your unvaccinated patients. over the next 2 weeks, make a personal appeal of that to get the shot. american need your personal involvement in this critical effort. my message to unvaccinated america is, is this. what more is there to wait for? what more you need to see. we've made vaccinations, free, safe and convenient. the vaccine as if de approval over 200000000

americans have gotten at least one shot. even patient. but our patience is wearing thin and refusal has cost all of us. so please do the right thing. but just don't take it from me, leave me listen to the voice of one vaccinated americans who are lying in hospital beds. taking their final breath said, if only i'd gotten back to me, if only it's a tragedy, please don't let it become yours. second piece of my plan is continuing to protect the vaccinated for the vast majority of you who've gotten vaccinated. i understand your anger at those who haven't gotten actually understand the anxiety about getting a breakthrough case. but as the science makes clear,

if you are fully vaccinated, you're highly protected from severe illness. even if you get covered 90. in fact, recent that indicates there's only one confirm positive case per $5000.00 fully vaccinated americans per day. you're as safe as possible and we're doing everything we can to keep it that way. keep it that way. keep you say that for boosters committed the shots to give you even more protection than after your 2nd shot. now, i know there's been some confusion about boosters, so let me be clear. last month, our top government doctors announced an initial plan for booster shots for vaccinated americans. they believe that the booster is likely to provide the highest level of protection yet. of course, the decision of which booster shots to give when to start them and who will give

them will be left completely to the scientist at the f d. a in the senate disease control. while we wait, we've done our part. we bought enough boosters, enough booster shots, and the distribution system is ready to administer as soon as they are authorized, those eligible will be able to get a booster right away in tens of thousands of sites across the sites across the country. for most americans at your nearby drugstore and for free. the 3rd piece of my plan is keeping the maybe most important is keeping our children safe and our schools open. for any parent, it doesn't matter how low the risk of any illness or action is when it comes to your child. grandchild. trust me. i know. so let me speak you

directly. let me speak you directly to help be some of your worries. comes down to 2 separate categories. children ages 12 and older who are eligible for a vaccine now. and children ages 11 and under who are not yet eligible. the safest thing for your child 12 in order to get them vaccinated. i can fax in for a lot of things and said get them vaccinated. as the adults almost all the series cobra 19 cases were seen among adolescence, are in unvaccinated 12 to 17 year old, an age group that lags behind and vaccination rates. so parents, please get your teenager actually. what about children on the age of 12? who can't get fax? well, the best way for parents to protect her child under the age of trial starts at home

. every parent, every teen sibling. every caregiver around them should be vaccinated. children have 4 times higher chance getting hospitalized. if they live in a state, with low vaccination rates, rather than states with high vaccination. now if you're a parent of a young child, you're wondering when will be when will feel the vaccine available for them. i strongly support independent scientific review for vaccine uses for children 12. we can't take shortcuts that scientific work. but i've made it clear i will do everything within my power to support the f d. a with any resource that needs to continue to do this as safely as quickly as possible. and a nation's top doctors are committed to keeping the public at large updates on the process. so parents complain now the schools,

we know that if schools follow the science and implement the safety measures like testing mask is adequate ventilation assistance is we provided the money for social distances and vaccinations and children can be saved from coven 19 in schools. today. about 90 percent of school staffs and teachers are vaccinated. we should get that to 100 percent. my administration is already acquired teachers at the schools run by the defense part because i have the authority as president in the federal system. the defense department in the interior department to get vaccinated. that's authority i possess. tonight, i'm announcing that we require fall of nearly 300000 educators in the federal head page program. head start programs must be vaccine is all to protect your youngest. our youngest, most precious americans and give parents

a comfort. and tonight i'm calling all governors to require vaccination for all teachers and staff. some already have done so we need more to step up vaccination requirements. the schools are nothing new. they work there overwhelmingly supported by educators and unions and all school officials trying to do the right thing by our children. i'll always be on your side. let me be blind. my plan also takes on elected officials and states that are undermining you in these lifesaving actions right now. local school officials are trying to keep children safe in append demik while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs. talk about bullying schools if they're not health,

these governors won't help speed depend demi, i'll use my powers present to get them out of the way. the department of education is already begun to take legal action against states undermining protection. the local school officials have ordered any teacher or school official who's pays with hell for doing the right thing. we will have that pay restored by the federal government. 100 percent. i promise you, i will have your back. the 4th piece of my planet is increasing, testing and masking. from the start, america has failed to do enough, coven, 1900 testing, nor a better detect and control the double variance. i'm taking steps tonight to make testing more available, more affordable and more convenient. i used the defense production act to increase production of rapid test, including those that you can use at home,

or that production is ramping up. my ministrations work with top retailers like wal mart, amazon and kroger's. and tonight we're announcing that no later in the next week, each of these outlets will start to sell at home, rapid test, kids at cost for the next 3 months. this immediate price reduction for at home chess kids for up to 35 percent reduction will also expand, expand retested at $10000.00 pharmacies around the country. him will commit. we're committing to $1000000000.00 to purchase nearly $300000000.00 rapid test for distribution to community health centers, food banks, schools. so that every american, no matter their income can excess free and convenient test. this is important to

everyone, particularly for a parent or a child. with a child not old enough to be vaccinated, you'll be able to test them at home and test those around them. in addition to testing, we know masking help stop the spread of coven 19. that's why when i came in office, i required mass for all federal buildings and then federal lands and airlines and other modes of transportation. today. tonight, i'm announcing that the transportation safety administration a t s a will double the fines on travelers refuse to mask if you break the rules, be prepared to pay. and by the way, show some respect, the anger you see on television, toward flight attendance and others doing the job is wrong. it's ugly. the

5th piece of my plan is protecting our economic recovery because of our vaccination program. and the american rescue plan, which we passed early in my administration, we've had record job creation for new administration, economic growth, unmatched in 40 years. we cannot lead unvaccinated, do this progress, undo it, turn it back. so tonight i'm announcing the additional steps to strengthen our economic recovery will be expanding covered $900.00 economic injury disaster loan programs. that's a program is going to allow small businesses to borrow up to $2000000.00 from the current 500000. to keep going of covert 900 impacts under sales these low interest, long term loans require no re payment for 2 years. and we can use to hire and

retain workers, purchase inventory, or even pay down higher cost dead racked up since the pandemic began. i'll also be taking additional steps to help small businesses stay afloat during the pandemic. 6th, we're going to continue to improve the care of those who do get covered 19th. and early july, i announced the deployment of surge response tapes. these are teams comprised of experts from the department of health and human services. the cdc, the defense department, and the federal emergency management agency, fema 2 errors in the country that need help to stem the spread of co nike. since then, the federal government is deployed nearly $1000.00 staff, including doctors, nurses, paramedics into 18 states. today,

i'm now seeing that the defense department double a number of military health teams that they'll deploy to help their fellow americans and hospital around the country. additionally, were increasing the availability of new medicines recommended by real doctors, not conspirators. conspiracy theorist. the monoclonal antibody treatments have been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization, up to 70 percent for unvaccinated people at risk of developing severed severe disease. we've already distributed $1400000.00 courses of these treatments to save lives and reduce the strain on hospitals. tonight, i'm announcing will increase the average pace of shipment across the country of free monoclonal antibody treatments by another 50 percent. before i close, let me say this communities of color are disproportionately impacted by those fires . now, as we continued about covered 19,

we will ensure that equity continues to be at the center of our response will ensure that everyone is reached. my 1st responsibility is presidents to protect the american people and make sure we have enough vaccines for every american, including enough boosters for every american is approved to get one. we also know this virus transcends borders. that's why, even as we execute this plan at home, we need to continue fighting the virus overseas. continue to be the arsenal. vaccines were proud to have donated nearly 140000000 vaccines over 90 countries. more than all other countries combined. including euro china and russia combined. that's american leadership on a global stage. and that's just the beginning. we've also now started to ship another $500000000.00 covered vaccines, pfizer vaccines purchase,

to donate to $100.00 lower income countries and needed vaccines. and i'll be announcing additional steps tell the rest of the world later this month. as i recently released the key parts of my pandemic preparedness plan, so that america isn't caught flat footed with a new pandemic, comes again as it will next month. i'm also going to release a plan in greater detail. so let me close this. we have so we've made so much progress during the past 7 months and this pandemic. the recent increases in vaccinations in august already are having an impact in some stage or case counter dropping the recent days. even so we, we remain at a critical moment of critical time. we have the tools. now we just have to finish

the job with truth with sides, with confidence, and together as one nation. look where the united states america, there's nothing, not a single thing we're unable to do if we do it together. so i stay together. god bless you all. and all those who continue to serve on the front lines of this pandemic, may god protect our troops, kept backs present by their outline, his strategy to tackle the u. s. coded serge. he described it as a pandemic of the unvaccinated. he's expressed the frustration of many of us as he put it with nearly 80000000 americans who are not vaccinated. and he has a part of that to try to tackle that issue and executor order, which will mean all federal employees will have to be vaccinated. and federal contractors as well as all employers who have 100 or more employees will have to

make sure that their workforce is vaccination or shows a negative test once a week. among some of the measures that were outlined in a fairly comprehensive speech, she had returns, he is life, washington d. c. that the time was very much come. almost angry with people don't vaccinated. how is that going to work? do you think was with people who say for not wanted to take the vaccines it was curious, wasn't it? because if you think that if i mean many reasons why people don't want to be vaccinated, why that suspicious of the us go who the u. s. government has a terrible history of lying to its people until the rest of the world will just which is ending the afghan war. now, after all, i'm going to get a bigger set of lives of last 20 years than that. but this tone for the kinds of people who are not getting vaccines for political reasons, perhaps because right wing politicians maybe encouraging them to stoke part as an differences when you think that turns going to work with them. i mean, this is just contempt. basically, it was curious,

but you have to put that in the context that off biden's falling approval ratings for his handling off curve and it's going down about 10 point space.
