firefighters are braving this monster fire in oregon. we'll tell you just how many large fires are blazing in the western united states. live from cnn in new york, welcome to all of you watching here in the united states and around the world. i'm alison kosik and this is "cnn newsroom". new coronavirus cases are surging across the u.s. driven by the highly contagious delta variant. new covid infections are up 50% or more in a majority of states. much of that is among the unvaccinated and less than half the u.s. population has had all of their shots. health experts are warning americans the rapid spread of the delta variant are making

vaccinations even more important. >> reporter: as the biggest public health crisis in a century threatens to get worse the warnings to unvaccinated are getting stronger. in alabama -- >> mutations in covid are because of unvaccinated folks. we have to start blaming unvaccinated folks. >> reporter: republican governor is fed up. >> these folks are choosing horrible lifestyle, self-inflicted pain. >> what is it going to take to get people to get shots? >> i don't know. you tell me. >> reporter: as the more contagious delta variant super charges covid-19 spread especially in place with low vaccination rates the country is now averaging more new coronavirus infections a day

than during the first surge in spring 2020. cases up 65% over just last week and four times higher than a month ago. covid hospitalizations rising 30% nationwide in just the past seven days. almost all among the unvaccinated. and with the daily pace of vaccinations at the lowest point since january doctors and government officials are begging the unvaccinated to protect themselves. >> seems like we're fighting a losing battle here. >> reporter: the more the virus circulates among the unvaccinated, a fear among those who are fully vaccinated. >> there are some break through infections. but it's mild illness. so that's a huge difference and that's what vaccines do. >> reporter: with millions of children set to head back to school, less than a third of eligible kids are on track to be fully vaccinated against covid in the next two weeks. while public schools in atlanta, washington, d.c. and chicago are

mandating masks for everyone. >> we parents should have the right whether our children are suffocated all day. >> you're simply making decisions based on your own fears. >> experts have spoken. i would like the school board to continue universal masking. >> we have to be honest we're asking people who are fully vaccinated to basically sacrifice because it's so hard to enforce vaccination, mask wearing based on vaccination status. >> reporter: along with alabama, mississippi is the only other state that vaccinated less than 35% of its residents. alabama has seen 500 additional people hospitalized with covid-19. that's according to the latest community profile report. the white house says biden is getting regular briefings about the spread of variants and

updated guidance. there's a heightened sense of urgency lately but the administration made no move to implement new restrictions like masks or lockdowns saying only that they are considering all possibilities. cnn's jeff zeleny has the latest from the house. >> reporter: heading in to the weekend with the delta variant spreading more than ever before the white house is sunday the alarm about the your betweency of the covid-19 pandemic here in america. no question now. this is a tale of the unvaccinated living with the pandemic much more so than the vaccinated. but even there's a sense will there be new mask guidelines. more restricts. right now the white house say there will be no changes. we know from biden he's directed his government health officials to study this data coming in, if there's a need for more protection for the vaccinated. there's a sense from republican governors across the country like in alabama, for example,

really throwing her hands up in the air and blaming this on the unvaccinated. the there's a hope here at the white house there's a sense of, if not, you know, willingness to get the vaccine because of the delta variant a bit of trepidation, people get cared into doing this. will any of this work? the white house has far short of mandating any type of vaccinations. they say it will not work and could backfire. they want employers and other institutions and groups like the nfl, for example, to put incentives on getting vaccinated. they believe that's how more people will get this shot in the coming days. no question, biden keeping a close eye on this. a, how it affects the country economically and the spread of this deadly virus in many cases. so in the middle of july as we head towards the end of this month, more concerning here than we've seen in several weeks and months. they do believe they have sounded the alarm. we'll see if americans answer

this call to get the shot. the white house clearly engaging in this in new ways and even more to come next week. jeff zeleny, cnn, the white house. los angeles county covid numbers are heading in the wrong direction. hospitalizations are rising. on friday the county recorded more than 3,000 daily cases for the first time since fehb. so masks are once genre acquired for everyone in all indoor spaces across the county regardless of vaccination status. but some officials are pushing back against the mandate and threatening to create their own public health departments. the director of public health and health officer for pa he is denna, california and joins me live. thanks so much for your time today. >> thank you for having me. >> i'm curious what's happening in pa i pasadena.

the health democratic reinstituted the mask mandate. your encountering any resistance to that decision? >> we have been hearing from both sides, including many people who are extremely grateful that we're implementing this additional precaution in the face of rapidly increasing case rates because of the delta variant. some of the people who have been opposed to universal indoor masking haven't quite realized yet that our community has raced from the lowest level of community transmission in the cdc definition through moderate up to high substantial. it's happened in a short period of just four weeks. so we're really in a new situation because of the delta variant where we need to do more as we continue to vaccinate. >> but california seems sort of, you know, split among between

which city depending on where he they sit on spectrum, on whether they agree to reinstate the mask mandate. in pasadena specifically any backlash from people there? >> you know, i think the people that i've heard from, who haven't been supportive are feeling the way that all of us have been feeling is that we're really tired of the pandemic, and with the vaccine we're feeling liberated and hopeful because in pasadena we have a fully vaccinated rate of 85.5% for people 12 and older. we were hopeful we wouldn't be seeing the surge in the repetitiveness of cases that we're seeing now. in pasadena we have 42,000 people who are not vaccinated yet. half of those are children under the age of 12 and delta has been swift and efficient in finding unvaccinated people to infect, and what i have two of those

children in my household and what that tells us is that we aren't two separated cities vaccinated or unvaccinated, we're intertwined and actions that each individual takes and the choice they make to get vaccinated really impacts the whole community. >> how effective is the mask mandate if not all the cities reinstate the mask mandate if only some do. where do you go from there? >> so, it is a little piecemeal right now and there could be an argument made and there's a discussion with the state from the local jurisdictions on whether it makes sense to have a statewide indoor masking mandate, for example. right now in l.a. county the city jurisdictions long beach and l.a. county are on the same page because of this requirement because our case rates mirror one another and it reflects the pattern of people moving in and out of our cities throughout the

county and the way the virus works, spreading among people who are unvaccinated moving between jurisdictions. >> why do you think communities that are in general politically liberal leaning, why are he they in such an uproar over reinstating this mask mandate? >> again, i think it's really related to, for some, i think putting on the mask again which some of us never stopped doing but doing that action really hits home as far as the reality that the pandemic is not over. we're in the thick of it. and the delta variant just threw a wrench into things where we thought after june 15th, with the lifting of restrictions we wouldn't be seeing so soon this surge. so i think that's difficult reality to accept, and so we're moving through this phase of acceptance. >> what are your concerns in general about just what you're seeing as this pandemic

continues? >> i'm really concerned about the next, in the next couple of weeks the re-opening of our schools. it is our top priority to make sure that every student is back in the classroom in person and safely. but when we see an increase in case rates in the community, those cases end up on campuses. there's so much at stake that we really need to protect and that's why taking additional measures in addition to continuing to vaccinate our community is so important. mask wearing, if everybody ad here's to that we're hoping it will lead to a blunting of the increase in case, hopefully decrease so we don't need to implement any other restrictions and have a successful re-opening of schools. >> all right. doctor, thanks so much for your time. >> thank you so much. the first gold medal of the

fireworks announced the start of the long delayed 2020 summer olympics in twokyo. officials say 127 covid cases are now linked to the games including 17 in the past day. the brand-new 68,000 seat olympic stadium was mostly empty as japanese tennis champ naomi osaka lit the olympic caldron. only a fraction of the athletes were present. soon after the opening ceremony china claimed the first two gold medals of the games. in women's 10 meter air rifle and women's weight lifting. blake, i know you are there and feeling it.

tell me about the details. >> reporter: not bad despite how unpopular these games remain. there's a curiosity these events just came to an end. a lot of people are mixed about supporting the olympics given the obvious health and safety concerns. at the same time there's excitement these games are under way a desire from some to experience the olympic atmosphere anyway they can. yesterday that meant taking pictures from outside of the stadium. it meant sitting in an auditorium for seven hours to watch the games. as a community while they couldn't vocalize their excitement didn't stop them from making a lot of noise by using wooden clappers to cheer on competitors and that's why i'm

wearing this borrowed colorful outfit and worn at japanese festivals. i'm digging it. looking good. feel good. that's what's important now. this was one of the only live public viewing sites in the country, 2,000 people applied but given social distancing requirements 500 received tickets with covid-19 cases surging in tokyo and public viewing like this are incredibly rare. it's for that reason essentially that there was a ban on spectators, 97% of events that many people are saying that even though yap is hosting the games it's hard to feel that connection. but with the flame now lit and competition under way that perception is starting to change. take a listen. >> reporter: i feel the olympics

are taking place. i saw the opening ceremony on tv and lucky enough to come to a live viewing site. i think naomi osaka was the best choice to be the last torch bearer because she's one of the world' top athletes and she's also mixed race and faced a lot of challenges. it's amazing she can represent japan like this. it sends out a great message from here to the world. >> that was a big moment last night during the opening ceremony when naomi osaka, a mixed race person lit the olympic caldron. a moment that's significant here in japan and considered one of the most racially homogenous communities in the world. yap is slowly shifting views on identity and what we saw last night shows how this society is adapting to changing times. >> thanks for your great reporting. china wasted no time claiming the first two gold

medals of the claim. coy wire is joining us now. talk to us about the medals that have been won. >> reporter: the games are under way. it is time to play and, yes, medals are being won. the first gold medal of these olympics goes to china. yfrp ang qian set a new record. because of covid protocols, yang receiving her gold medal on a tray. a great start to these games for china. they won a gold in women's weight lifting. let's go to the most dominant team on the planet, usa women's water polo. they came out of the guest strong here in tokyo unleashing an offensive flury of 25 goals set agnew olympic record.

i was there to see him run with torch and all the children were out and could see the event going on. yes a little bit of a diversion but maybe in a few years time they will remember that moment and same here if they get to watch somebody else who is like me and achieving and they are at the olympic games and fielding their dreams. >> olympic historian philip barker there from tokyo. u.s. health officials are working to raise the nation's dwindling vaccination numbers. they are pushing me and pushing me and i'm putting it off. the delta variant scarce yes. >> we'll take you to a clinic in alabama, the state with the lowest vaccination rate in the country. plus indonesia tightens covid restrictions as case numbers soared. the death toll is still hitting new records. that story and the latest from

vaccinated need to be concerned. alabama is at particular risk from the delta variant thanks to its low vaccination numbers. according to the cdc its the least vaccinated state in the country. cnn's gary tuckman takes us to mobile beam to see what people are doing to turn those numbers around. >> reporter: it's 5:00 p.m. and a public covid vaccine clinic just opened in alabama's annual food festival. choice of three vaccines. no takers. only workers. ten minutes later -- the ceo of the soul happy cafe was the first visitor choosing the pfizer vaccine. >> you're done. pretty easy. >> it was real easy. >> reporter: mobile county has more than 400,000 people and one

of the lowest vaccination rates of any large county in america, 37%. in a state that's the lowest in the country at 34%. but county health department is striving nor frequent outreach to get people vaccines and that's why employees are here. ten minute later another woman gets a vaccine. she chooses moderna. you told me you have multiple sclerosis and your doctor gave you the okay to get the vaccine. how do you feel? >> my husband has been after me to do it. i knew it needed to be done. i got it. i'm glad they are doing it here today otherwise i would still be dragging my feet. >> reporter: 40 minutes passes by with no more vaccine customers. but two people then show up. don on the left and britney on the right. >> the reason i'm doing it is because you're right here. >> both of my families are vaccinated and they have been pushing me an pushing me and

i've been putting it off. >> reporter: it's now 6:00. one hour into the vaccinated. the curiosity level is high but vaccinating level is not. you met four people who got the vaccine. those are the only four who came in the first hour. the health department is sponsoring or events such as truck stops and car dealerships. the director says her department must be creative. >> since july 4th we had an explosion of case. the doubling and tripling of cases every seven days. it's accelerating greatest in the age groups of 18 to 49. >> reporter: back at the food truck festival, jacqueline is 22 and says no vaccine for her. >> i just don't think i need it so i'm not going to get it. >> reporter: you know almost everyone that is dying or hospitalized is somebody who

hasn't been vaccinated. people who have been vaccinated almost all of them are not going to hospital or dying. does that concern you? >> not really. i'm a healthy person. i'm not concerned. >> i'll take the johnson & johnson. >> reporter: those who are concerned continue a slow trick told the vaccination tent. jason sullivan said he wasn't planning to get a vaccine until coming to this festival. >> how come you wait this long? >> based off of stuff i heard. the internet what people were saying about the covid shot. >> reporter: it's now 8:00. the vaccinations at the food truck fair are over. the final number of people who got vaccinations, 12. that's an average of four an hour. not a big number. but the health department workers tell you the numbers are getting higher at various outreach events in the past week. good news aamid the delta variant, bad news. >> many people in southeast asia

can only wish for that kind of vaccine access. the region is struggling with surging covid case numbers. driven by the highly contagious delta variant. anna coren is tracking developments across the region. she joins us now live from hong kong. >> reporter: we've been seeing an explosion of the delta variant here in asia and governments really are scrambling to try and top the spread of these highly contagious strain of the virus. you know, australia is seeing that virus really take hold. in south wales where there was an outbreak last month that just has skyrocketed. today they recorded 163 cases, up from 136 yesterday and we know that south wales, victoria and south australia are in lockdown. this is the way that the government is trying to handle

the pandemic. but interestingly, allison, thousands of people took to the streets in sydney today to protest against this lockdown, the anti-lockdown protesters they are called freedom protests and it is just mind-boggling, the images that we've been seeing today, people not believing in the virus, not wearing masks, certainly not social distancing, they clashed with police. one man punched a police force. dozens of people were arrested. that was in sydney. there were protests also in melbourne. just mind blowing to think how selfish and ignorant these people are. it may not seriously affect them but it could affect their parents or program parents. these are the ones susceptible to covid. you're talking about a country, a very privileged country where the vaccine roll out has been woeful. the prime minister has apologized for the slow roll out of the vaccine.

you know, just over 11% of the population has been fully vaccinated. but, this is not a problem just immune to i should say not just in australia, this is a problem. many countries are facing it in the region. a taxi graveyard. the colorful cars now sitting idle in a field. there are fewer customers these days as new cases of coronavirus in thailand reach record highs. for those lucky enough to pick up a fare, it's no longer a routine ride. >> translator: we have passengers getting on and off our cars every day, and we don't know if they're at risk or not. we need to protect ourselves, and the passengers also need to protect themselves. both sides are just scared. >> reporter: those fears keeping more people at home. volunteers bring food to those isolated along bangkok's canals. the government says there is a

shortage of vaccines along with the surge of infections, the supplies just one of the obstacles preventing people from getting the shots. >> translator: i can't go. i only stay like this because if i go for a vaccination, i'd have to take a boat, walk, and commute by car. i have no money to spend for that. >> reporter: experts say vaccines are a critical weapon in fighting this outbreak that has spread across asia. some health care workers in india hiking into the remote countryside to dole out the doses. >> translator: they moved door to door in my village, collected swabs for testing, and gave vaccines to the villagers. our village is a tribal village, and no one visits here. >> reporter: vietnam is also trying to accelerate its vaccination program. as cases sharply rise there, too. the outbreak in ho chi minh city so bad that soldiers in hazmat suits hosed down the streets with disinfectant.

but even as countries across southeast asia tighten their covid-19 restrictions, the virus still seems to be a step ahead. in one of the hardest hit nations, indonesia, the death toll crossed 1,500 a day for the first time during the pandemic. singapore says even the vaccinated are impacted. government data over the past four weeks shows that vaccinated people made up three quarters of new infections, though they did not become seriously ill. the empty streets of sydney, australia, a sign a lockdown is in effect but with cases still rising, some officials say it's not enough. >> we need a ring of steel around sydney so that this virus is not spreading into other parts of our nation. >> reporter: but spreading is what this virus does very efficiently. so much so the state of new south wales asked the federal government for more vaccines. a request that was denied. prime minister scott morrison

saying it would disrupt the vaccination program for the rest of the country. now indonesia is without doubt now the epicenter of the pandemic here in asia, overtaken india in regards to being ground zero. the cases are exploding. the health ministry says over the past month they recorded a million new cases of covid-19 and they are blaming the delta variant. the death toll as it stands at the moment is more than 80,000. but the experts say that's vastly underreported the true number is much, much higher. anna coren in hong kong. thank you. hungary's prime minister raises the stakes in a battle over a controversial lgbtq law. but in a couple of hours his

in just over two hours some people in budapest will take a stand against hungary's controversial lgbtq law. they are expected to hold a pride march and push back against the law that many eu leaders call homophobic. but the prime minister said he's standing firm and plans a referendum on the issue. melissa bell joins us live from budapest. what your hearing from those expected to march? >> reporter: well they expect this march to be bigger than usually because it's not usual celebration but this time it will be a protest against a law that many here told us is

straight out of the prime minister's playbook targeting a group, we've seen it with the migrants a few years ago, homeless, transgender. this time whether the group he's targeting is too big and represent too many people within the country. it's a picture of family life built on love and surrounded by love. monica says they've never faced anything but acceptance raising their two daughters now they fear they may have to leave the country all together. >> they act like we are dangerous for children and i think if they spend enough time some people believe. >> reporter: on june 14th they protested the controversy new bill that all but ensured many of the country's youth would never see pictures of families like theirs.

the culmination of a gradual campaign of demonization. >> there's always been people who are homophobic. with this law they feel encouraged. >> reporter: they say they were victims of homophobic attacks when they were younger. >> i'm like what's next? so maybe next week they just put me in a jail because i'm gay. or maybe one year they will just kill us on the street. >> the bill is shame. >> reporter: brussels announced proceedings over the government's new law. this week he responded by announce agnew referendum. >> translator: hungarian law does not allow homosexual propaganda. >> reporter: all over the country right now billboards

like these are showing people are angry at brussels and wloerd their child may face sexual propaganda. >> people love to hate something and while the population of hungary is hating a group, they don't really care about the government. >> reporter: this entrepreneur believes that the prime minister may have picked the wrong target. >> all the companies, all the government, ministers, everybody is just silent. it's going to come out because the truth will win in the end. who is next? gypsies or jews again? >> reporter: he's part of a family campaign launched in november by a stay-at-home dad and journalist. >> the resistance of rainbow is not propaganda it's reality. we just want to live in this country like everyone else does. >> reporter: for years now the

prime minister has skirted the limits of what european law allowed, angering brussels time and time again. this time they decided to act. the question is much more test that will present itself next year. it's understood this campaign has been going on for they last few months culminating in this latest law is that the prime minister is looking ahead next spring to what's set to be the tightest election he's faced in the 11 year rule with the opposition preparing to get-together to take him on and this campaign is galvanizing his base, making sure they get out to vote. the question is given how representative those communities are within hungarian society and how tolerant and accepting this society as been will work in his favor or be a fatal miscalculation. this is something we've heard over and over again. not just from people in the community itself. look we have family and friend

and been out for years and our family and friends who have been on fence about this issue are now outraged about the propaganda campaign they are facing and is extremely damaging to the community. will his calculation pay off or on the contrary play out against him. an important test today how many people come out and support and whether there's far-right groups come out to counter protest, great enough to cause trouble. >> melissa bell in. budapest. thank you. coming up, digging for answers. nasa's mars rover is getting ready to start its rock collection and hopefully find out if life ever existed on the red planet. that's next.

>> unfortunately it is going to remain hot. in fact just get warmer through the course of this coming week. i'm drawing this climate change connection because the fire season over the western u.s. are starting earlier and lasting longer. so the fingerprint of climate change is written all over that. one impact that's overlooked is the smoke across the rest of the country. we're talking about the wildfires that are several hundred miles away from the big apple. this was what it looked like on wednesday. look at the smoke and haze there compared to a typical day. they had their worst air quality index in 15 years. that's just incredible. you can see that on the satellite imagery captured on friday across the midwest stretching to the southeast, even though new england and into the mid-atlantic that cleared out, the wildfire smoke is anticipated to drift back into that location as some of that smoke from these billowing fires

get lofted up higher. on top of the 83 wildfires burning across 13 states. very impactful drought conditions over the western u.s. in fact 95% of the western parts of the country in drought. in fact, weaver also just had several northern california counties declared state of emergency with the location of fires. i mentioned the warming trend over the central u.s., thanks to a heat dome that will prop itself over this region. suppress cloud cover. temperatures are going to soar upper 30s. that's triple-digit territory for our domestic audience. let me take to you the other side of the world. we're monitoring twin tropical systems. one more impactful than the other at the moment at least i should say. typhoon in-fa which just strengthed, 120 kilometers per hour makes it equivalent to a

category 1 atlantic hurricane. has its eye set on eastern china. shanghai, this area has potential to feel impacts from this in terms of extremely heavy rainfall. computer models picking up 500 millimeters over the south that will cause landslides and flooding. what else we're monitoring is tropical storm nepar the tak. could potentially impact the olympics on tuesday and wednesday of this week. lots of details to iron out now between now and then. nasa's mars rover has begun its search for signs of life. it's set to dig up its first-ever sample of martian rock in the coming days. scientists back on earth hope it will give them important clues to the red planet's secrets. michael holmes reports. . >> reporter: nasa's rover on

mars is set to begin one of its top missions to search for signs ever ancient life after settling in and testing its gear for nearly seven months he per certi perseverance will reach out. samples will help scientists determine if there was once life. like any tourist, perseverance has been busy taking photos. the crater was created by a meteor impact. the rover has been sending those photos back to headquarters where scientists have been studying them. according to nasa the crater contains clay. it's led to the assumption this was once a lake. >> it was a lake and a lake about 40 kilometers across. so we're not looking for things

that would have been growing in the sea. the other important aspect of this is that we are looking very, very far back in the history of the solar system and with what that means is life would not have had much of a chance to advance very far and that's why we always say we're looking for evidence of potential microbial life. >> reporter: they will dig out samples and store them in cubes and analyze them. >> the front of the rover then has another sample handling arm which manages those tubes and the samples inside of them to do imaging and measure the volume and then we'll seal those and store those for planned future return to earth. >> reporter: it's one clear whether perseverance will be back. their collection of rock samples could be back on earth in a decade. michael holmes, cnn. i'm alison kosik in new york. thanks for spending part of your day with he me. you can follow me on twitter and
