5:02 pm
and prosperous. algebra has been, a hunter, has more from be ruled on the challenges facing, facing the new leadership. well, some new faces, other familiar faces. but bottom line is this the political parties that have governing this country for the past few decades. those who have been blamed for really running the economy into the grounds, blame for corruption. they are the ones who appointed these men and one women in this new cabinet. people really have little faith that they're going to see any change prime minister me at the showing empathy with the people saying that he understands mothers cannot find milk for their children. fathers cannot send their kids to school. he understands the ground. but he's part of this system, a system that people believe should be changed. we didn't hear him talk about fighting corruption because this is what needs to be done. they need to fight
5:03 pm
corruption. they need to agree to reform, state institutions. they need to agree to restructure the financial sector. the finance minister is a former official in the central bank. the central bank is blamed really for bad policies that lead to this economic collapse. so people are skeptical, but there are some good signs. the dollar, for example, the local currency gains some value against the dollar. it was trading this morning at $900000.00 earlier as against the dollar. it is now about 151-6000 lire. but the bottom line is this. in the next few days, subsidies are going to be listed. people salaries are near worthless. people just cannot make ends meet. the minimum wage is now worth $35.00. so what is he going to do? he is promising a rescue plan, but what people want to see is, you know, what is the stress to plan. in other world news, the african union has become the latest regional block to suspend the guineas membership following sunday's military cool. the a you says it will exclude guinea from its decision making bodies in, while
5:04 pm

5:05 pm
discuss the way forward. but the focus for now is meeting with a military coup lead us yeah. in guinea and setting the ground rules. one of the factors, one of the things of the course mission want to do is to have access to the depaula president for conduct who is currently under detention and under military got a charter plane has just taken off from afghanistan, pavel airport. the 2nd since evacuations ended last week, the plane left with passengers after delivering aid on thursday, more than 100 people were on board the 1st flight to doha. meanwhile, the un development agency says, have gunnison risks that total economic breakdown without international help to keep money flowing in. it's connie for urgent efforts to both for the economy. early i spoke to astrid slaton, who's the i've got fund director for with the norwegian refugee council. she says the, his, you ation in the country is desperate. more than half a 1000000 people have already met drug area and they are at imminent risk of
5:06 pm
probation. i'm pleasing to death for the upcoming for innovation. this country is trying to recover. bit of suffering from the consequences of the dam. i hope that with the collecting public sector are the teachers going to get paid will they will work the most urgent need to save life. i mean, health care must come up and running the other day. i was hearing a very grave depiction on what will happen, boys forward, how many, hundreds and thousands of people will die. public health sector, class angels on the ground, we compare lot. so can be us. but you cannot play a public sector international. can you move from the solution and they need to come out to be in pilot bar is
5:07 pm
a very centralized organization and i need to sort of restart our engagement. this is not something and we have been negotiating access the taliban for years and we will continue to do that. we are now seeing some we are allowed to bring that back to work, but something more helpful. and it has no a tough new voice could soon be rolled out in the u. s. for workers who are issues a cove in 1900 vaccine. they include mandatory vaccinations or testing for some and disciplinary action for others who don't comply. present jo biden's republican rivals are planning legal action in response. she ever times. he has more from washington. d. v. my fellow american joe biden announced a 6 point plan to deal with code 19. what the white house called
5:08 pm
a puff out of the pandemic. if we 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. federal employees will no longer have the option of regular testing instead of vaccination. they and government contracts will have $75.00 days to get vaccinated or face disciplinary action. all 70000000 health care workers who work institutions that receive federal funding will have to be vaccinated. all employers with workforce is over $100.00 must ensure their employees are vaccinated or regularly tested will face a $14000.00 fine for each violation. 300000 teachers who take part in federal programs will have to be vaccinated. and the president states to insist on facts, native stuff in their schools, in all it's estimated that up to 2 thirds of the u. s. workforce may be affected by
5:09 pm
the plan. however, legal and union challenges may delay some of the provisions. the washington post reporter for the us postal service would be exempt from the mandate, some 500000 people. but this wasn't just a clinical outline of the administration's aspirations. throughout his address, the president tried to be 25 percent of americans who have yet to get vaccinated. over 200000000 americans have gotten at least one shot even patient. but our patients is wearing thin. and the refusal has cost all of us whole so that the majority of americans are blaming beyond vaccinated for continuing panoramic restrictions. but they also show waning confidence in the president handling of the pandemic. this was a clear attempt to firm up his base and a clear message. it's not my fault. what you heard from president biden today was clearly the growing frustration that we have, the tools we have the science, we have the incentives, and yet we're not seeing necessarily the behavior that we would hope from
5:10 pm
a large minority of the population an all american summer. but critics contend the biden administration has been confusing the public with its messaging. for example, it was joe biden to announced a summer free of covert in early june and held a large july 4th party at the white house to prove it. just as the delta varied was taking hold in the country, since that announcement, daily infections have risen by some 300 percent. there is no doubt that more americans have to be vaccinated if the u. s. is to return to any normality but study shows a variety of reasons for vaccine hesitancy. some say it's because of a distrust for the u. s. government that has misled the public so many times in the past. others because of their political hatred of joe biden. it will be interesting to see where the buttons approaching this speech will now win them over to the fax she ever times. the al jazeera washington miss bringing our white house correspondent now. kimberly house. good. kimberly some republicans, or even calling for an uprising over over president biden's vaccine mandates. how,
5:11 pm
how will these new mandate fair in such a polarized environment? yeah. uprising, well, when republican did use that word is probably a pretty strong term for what conservatives in the united states. that are opposed to. c the vaccine mandate proposed are put forward by b u. s. president. what they're essentially saying is do not comply. what the feeling is of some conservatives in the united states is that this is government overreach, and that the u. s. president doesn't have the constitutional authority to force people to get a vaccine, which in some cases is still not even been given full authorization by the food and drug administration. so what we're expecting to see our court challenges on a mass scale and already the by the ministration has had some trouble at the supreme court level with another one of its policies, which the supreme court considered to be overreach and has pushed the congress to
5:12 pm
try and sort out, not if forcing landlords to provide free read to people who have lost their jobs as a result or can't pay their rent as a result of cobit 19. now what the president has done and all of this is essentially done the exact opposite of what he said he would do so many are saying this is kind of a $180.00 he promised to be a uniter but what he did with this speech with regard to his new covered restrictions is essentially vilify a section of the american public that feels that they want to have a choice about their health care and their bodies. and so what this is done essentially divide americans further. the other thing that this is done is really frustrated. democrats as well, who are saying, why weren't you tougher? and why did you do this sooner? because now our hospitals are full of people that are sick because they didn't get vaccinated. so what the precedence essentially done is,
5:13 pm
please know what with all of this, and it comes at a time when his political capital is already vulnerable, given the fact that he's still trying to bounce back from the withdrawal of afghanistan and the americans that were killed there so this is a president that is facing increasing number crises, politically, and is doubling down now believing that brute force is the way to get out of this situation. kimberly, thank you for that. kimberly health care is our white house correspondent ly very in washington. and fil a head on al jazeera, uniting against kind of just fine minister. what's the noise on his rival? during the last election debate, football fans in argentina returned to the stand for the 1st time to sort of demick, but in limited number. ah
5:14 pm
