a very warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and around the world. i'm isa soares. with the delta variant surging, the u.s. president is getting ready with his toughest mandate. and this is all we have, this is what we nighfight for. if we don't have this, where to we go? >> californians forced to evacuate and leave everything behind. state officials are now pleading for wildfire assistance. and the police who helped defend the u.s. capitol from the

january 6 rioters say they didn't get enough support. good morning, everyone. happy thursday. at a time of growing division and debate over masking and vaccinations in the united states, there is one thing that is certain. the delta variant is fueling a rapid surge in cases and it is really forcing officials to push mandates to protect americans. now, in the coming hours, u.s. president biden is set to lay out the next steps in the fight against covid-19. and that includes boosting vaccinations. a source says that he is expected to announce that all federal workers and contractors will be required to get a shot or submit to regular testing. the move comes as the president is urging all americans to get vaccinated. take a listen. >> the pandemic that we have now

is the pandemic of the unvaccinated. so please, please, please if you are not vaccinated, protect yourself and the children out there. >> the urge and pleas may be working. cdc thinks that the daily pace of getting their first covid vaccine is the highest it has been in three weeks. and some big name measure companies are now requiring their employees to get vaccinated. texas health care company which employs nearly 50,000 people says staff have until october to get their shots. a spokesman says 71% of the company's workforce is vaccinated so far. and here are some of the other companies issuing mandates. fbi and google are the first two silicon valley giants to require employees coming back to the office to be vaccinated. morgan stanley won't let unvaccinated staff or clients enter its headquarters. and netflix is reportedly requiring vaccinations for all cast and crew members of its

u.s. productions. this is as vaccine hesitancy grows among some americans, mainly by far right republicans. a new survey finds about 46% who might trust far right use say this they will refuse a vaccine, that is up from 31% in march. and some people, you know, are asking to get their shot privately to avoid backlash from family and friends who aren't in favor of vaccination. >> even though that they were able to make that decision themselves, they didn't want to have to deal with the peer pressure or the outburst from other people about them, quote, giving in to everything. they made a decision for themselves and they wanted it just to be for themselves. people can call and we try to accommodate what we can through our drive-through window, thr through, walking out to their car, anything that we can do to get them in a place where they are comfortable receiving the vaccine. >> more than 70% of americans,

some 237 million people, live in counties believed to have high substantial covid transmission. you can see there areas of that map in red and orange. huge swathe of the country and that includes the state of mississippi. one woman there is now pleading with people to get vaccinated after learning about the painful lesson her husband, who had not gotten the shot, is in hospital fighting for his life and can barely breathe. >> i just never thought it could be as bad as it is right now. from him going to the hardest working person i know taking care of everybody, his family, his customers, everybody, to it is a good day if he sat up on the side of his bed twice for 30 minutes. we have really tried to after this talk to as many of our family and friends as possible that they should get it. i never realized how bad it

would be and how bad this delta variant would be. and i'm exhausted. >> but even some fully vaccinated people may need more protection against the delta variant. pfizer and biontech released new data on their vaccine finding an original two dose vaccination holds up for about six moontds before it begins to weaken. pfizer says a third dose can strongly boost protection against the delta variant. and researchers say that their investigations is ongoing. a massive infrastructure deal before congress is a long way from becoming reality, but a key vote wednesday cleared the way for it to move forward in the senate. and that bipartisan vote was reason enough for the president to celebrate. >> looks like we reached a bipartisan agreement on infrastructure. fancy word for fribridges, road.

transit systems, high speed internet, clean drinking water, capping the or fanphan wells. i'm working with democrats and republicans to get this done because while there is a lot we don't agree on, i believe that we should be able to work together on the few things we do agree on. >> wednesday's final tally was 67-32 to open senate debate on the huge spending project currently pegged at about $1 trillion. ryan nobles has more from capitol hill. >> reporter: this was a big first step. 17 senate republicans joining democrats in passing a motion to proceed, which advances that $1 trillion infrastructure bill. there is more than $500 billion in new spending in this package and includes spending for roads and bridges, also for rail, both passenger and freight rail,

broadband technology, also water treatment as well. this is something that democrats have been clamoring for for a long time and republicans also believe is worth spending the money on. now, even though they got to this stage, there is still a long way to go, a number of hurdles to pass just in the senate. and it also needs to be passed in the house as well. there is a whole other big $3.5 trillion reconciliation package that will ultimately be passed with only democratic votes. those two bills have to be moving along dual tracks in order for them to have enough vote this is both the house and senate to pass. but nonetheless, both the white house, senate majority leader chuck schumer, feeling very optimistic that they crossed this important stage. they are hoping to have the bill passed in itself before july ends and before the august recess begins. ryan nobles, cnn on capitol hill. members of the house select committee investigate being the january 6 insurrection are signaling that they have move quickly to subpoena witnesses. democrats and republicans on the

panel say they want to obtain all communications at the white house from that day. they don't expect cooperation from former president trump or his top aides, but the committee has been in touch with former justice department officials who have been told they are free to testify. now to japan where a public health expert is warning that the surge in covid cases this tokyo is raising the risks to those inside the olympic bubble. already today, pole vaulters from the u.s. and argentina have tested positive ending their olympic hopes. members of australia's track and field team briefly went into isolation but have since received the all-clear. meanwhile a wave in medals in swimming is shaping up the leaderboard. china with 29 medals, team usa has a big lead in total medals

with 37. and blake essig is standing by live for us in tokyo. and we start with patrick snell. both these gentlemen have been keeping us up-to-date. patrick, quite a busy morning in the andswimming center. >> and so much focus on dressel. and he has an olympic record. the 24-year-old's first individual olympic gold medal as well. he previously earned three relay golds including the men's 4 x 100 free style relay. that was earlier. and russians winning bronze. and dressel got really emotional afterwards. and the video is very, very powerful, we'll be bringing you

that on later thirst ursday edi of "world sport." and bobby fink won gold, another great story, just 21 years of age, still a senior at the university of florida here in the u.s. in his first olympics as well. powering his way to a win in the 800 meter free style. very impressive win for him. and this the first time by the way for a man's 800 meeterolympics. and china a gold medal finish in the women's 200 meter free style relay finishing with 7:40.33. also breaking the world mark today. china with a leading 14th gold medal now, frustrations though for the united states, anchored by katie ledecky. the u.s. almost catching their

r rivals, but they take the silver. another very significant day in the pool. >> i was on the edge of my seat watching that free style relay. a very good watch. but let's talk gymnastics. we've now been hearing from simone biles of course, everyone's attention has been on her, a lot of people wishing her all the support. but what has she been saying, how is she coping? >> she's been taking to social media earlier today thursday. and it has been heartening to see the really -- the way that the community, fellow athletes, really embracing her, giving her that support. and the wait though is still on to see if she will compete again at these games after withdrawing from the individual all-around competition later on today. she's focusing on her mental health right now. and she did take to social media to say let's tap into that message of thanks. it was very powerfully worded i felt. so here we go, outpouring of

love and support i've received has made me realize i'm more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which i never truly believed before. that really resonated with me. and on wednesday just to reset for viewers, biles appearing in person showing her support of the men's gymnastics team, but the withdraw coming after she stepped away from team competition earlier in the week saying she wants to protect both her body and her meend. it goes without saying that we do of course wish her all the very best at this difficult and challenging time. no question. back to you. >> absolutely. incredibly brave, courageous. and that statement shows, very gracious as well. patrick snell, thank you very much. let's get more on the covid threat that i mentioned earlier. blake essig is live in tokyo. and blake, you know, athletes have so much to contend with. they have the heat, they have the humidity, they have to focus

on their fitness and making sure that they do well. and then on top of all of this, they have the rise in covid infections. how bad is it right now? >> just a few things to worry about. as far as how bad it is right now, outside of the olympic bubble, covid cases are really bad. just today, more than 3800 cases reported in tokyo, the highest number that has ever been reported sense the pandemic began in tokyo. but there are a lot of things for the athletes to worry about, one being covid-19. good news on that front, we learned that three member of australia's track and field team entered isolation after being considered brief contacts with someone from usa track and field team who tested positive. so they isolated immediately and underwent testing procedures. within the last two hours, those tests have come back negative and all members of the team have

been given the all-clear and are now allowed to resume normal activities. it is a good example of the covid-19 countermeasures put in place to quickly address any potential issues. while it is still early at this point, daily testing, contact tracing and strict covid-19 measures have proven effective in limiting the spread of infection. since the beginning of july, 198 games related infections have been reported while olympic related cases remain low, the same cannot be said for tokyo. today as i said, more than 2800 cases were reported in tokyo. that is the highest daily total for the capital ever recorded. a statement we've now said three days in a row. despite a fourth state of emergency order being put in place, the infection rate continues to climb and there is serious concern for a medical system that is already strained. japan's top coronavirus adviser has urged the government to send out a strong message to people warning about the potential strain on the health care system.

he said that the greatest danger is the fact that the general public does not share a sense of crisis. >> translator: as a city resident myself and as an organizer, my heart hurts that case numbers are rising. >> reporter: last month as cases strained to increase the government's experts, they said that they believe that the potential fifth wave of infection could be japan's worst yet here in tokyo and across the country, that concern has already become a reality. >> blake, thank you very much. now the u.s. justice department is going after the former usa gymnastics doctor larry nassar serving a decades long sentence for child pornography and sexual abuse. his bank accounts welled to more than $12 million but he is only making about $8 a month to his victims. he owes more than $62,000 in restitution and fees.

and among the funds deposited into his account, a pair of $2,000 government stimulus checks. now, an important step for diabetics in the united states. the food and drug administration officially designated the first generic version of insulin, to allows the move to be marketed as identical to widely used long acting insulin. it is about the third of the price. and fda saying that it is safe and an option for diabetics. and next, two negotiator tos exchange elbow bumps as new talks get off to a good start with russia. we'll explain. and some wildfires in the united states are gaining ground. coming up, the vaccinations under way. when they come back in a week or two, this is what they will find. if you look at this home here, the only thing left standing is the staircase.

evacuate, a tsunami watch was up for parts of hawaii but that has been canceled. pedram javaheri is bringing us up-to-date. >> and when you look at this part of the world, this arc of the aleutian islands is among most of the active. and when you take it to this magnitude of 8.2, it is as impressive as it gets. and we often say it is not earthquakes that kill people, it is buildings, structures that do so. and this quake happened at 2:16 eastern time so a lot of people even in alaska, people asleep and it makes it dangerous. the shallow quake, 20 miles deep and about 500 miles south/southwest of anchorage. but it was in an isolated area. far away from high population zones. so the tsunami becomes the prior area concern not the shaking.

but take a look, a quake of this mack magnitude produces at least one aftershock. and seen dozens of 5 plus after shocks occur since the initial quake owe did youred. but take a look, largest quakes, chile, number one, alaska, 1964, 9.2. come all the way back to 2010, 8.#, again, speaks to the significance potential. but based on the location, movement of the plates mere, we don't expect any damage or significant damage with this particular quake. but the tsunami concern remains high. on our planet, only one exceeds 8.0 or greater. and this could be the one for 2021. 15 of they will up to 7.0 or crater greater and you see how the

numbers break down. but based on the models, you see that the tsunami warnings are right along the aleutian peninsula. that is where we think water has been displaced maybe 4, 5 feet in spots. but advisories across even the hawaiian islands have been allowed to cancel because we don't think much in the way of any strong waves will make it there. so it could have been far worse. but a scary morning and night there for folks across parts of alaska. >> glad to hear that at least it happened in isolated areas. thank you very much, pedram javaheri. meanwhile in the united states, 81 large fires are burning across 12 states, tens of thousands of firefighters as well as other personnel are fighting the flames. but some are determined to stand their ground against the blaze. >> reporter: as the flames from the dixie fire burn out of control -- >> they picked up heat signals

here. >> reporter: -- authorities issue evacuation orders. >> that is why they evacuated. >> reporter: but while many of the more than 16,000 under the orders have left, others like jason ackley are choosing to stay. his wife and son have already evacuated. but instead, he and his brother are working on their own fire line. >> we're really trying to take the fuel down so we can't get it up in on the crown of the trees and stuff. >> reporter: the fire getting within about a quarter mile of the property. >> it was a big scare, but this is everything. this is all we have. this is what we fight for. i mean, if we don't have this, where are we going to go? >> reporter: the almost 218,000 acre fire has already destroyed almost 40 structures. and over 10,000 others are at risk. >> no structure is ever worth a human life. >> reporter: people here in

indian falls had enough time to evacuate, but when they come back in a week or two, this is what they will find. if you look at this home here, the only thing left standing is the staircase. two of the cars were left here in the driveway, of course they are completely destroyed. if you look here, it is just a piece of what used to be the rim of this car. firefighters telling me that they were here until the very he said trying to save as many homes as possible, but it just became too dangerous. the dixie fire is california's largest wildfire this year. and the 14th largest in state history. with severe drought conditions continuing across the western u.s., wildfires becoming larger and more frequent. >> we are seeing that wild land fires in california are growing in size, complexity and frequency. >> reporter: it is something that ackley acknowledges. he knows that he is putting his life on the line. but instead points to managing the forest and says that it is

what he will to until the very end. >> when we see them red lights and them guys getting ready to go, i mean, we'll turn the sprinklers on and we'll make our last minute prayer and see what we can do. but at that point, i mean, we'll stand here together. we've already decided that from day one. >> reporter: and these firefighters, brave men and women, are spending about 12 hours here at base camp in the tents that you see behind me and then another 12 hours in the middle of the smoke in the middle of the flames doing everything they can to stop this fire. the dixie fire is being described to me as a sleepy stubborn fire, but they are expecting it on essentiallyic wi wake up as wet conditions change. it is making it more dangerous not just for the r the firefigh but also for those still choosing to stay. camila bernal, cnn. and residents along the

building up their military might in the arctic, they are also working on an unmanned torpedo powered by a nuclear reactor, something that the u.s. is a looking at. on the u.s. side, theys working on nuclear projects that russia has their eyes on. so there is a certain level of interest in terms of sitting down, putting their cards on the table and seeing if they can come to any broad ranging agreements in terms of raining owing reignning it in and bringing so controls in. but still questions if the talks will also talk about other topics potentially in the space race or when it comes to cyber and potential attacks on nuclear command and control in the cyberspace. that is yet to be determined. the state department says that the working groups in these strategic stability talks will be defined and laid out in their next meeting. kylie atwood, cnn, washington. and the mask debate is
