i i use that we use line from trailer titans restrictions to contain nationwide corona virus. plus the official state of the panoramic is entering a new phase as the delta bad. it takes hold, also on the program rescuers in since they haven't given up hope of finding both devices of the collapse. florida apartment building was 150 people are still missing the pedals facing migrants attempting the dangerous state, crossing from africa to europe. we'll hear from a fisherman with no choice other than the same people in distress and suspense,

and surprises that you are 20 to 20. yeah, belgium and portugal stream and that's about the titles well, the chest, the public to look out. ah. until gale, welcome to the program. australia is tightening. pandemic restrictions as new clusters of infection emerge, linked to the highly contagious delta variant fax relation for care workers looking after the eldest elderly is now mandatory several cities of impose loc downs and mandatory mass, squaring authorities, fear these latest wave infections is the most serious. so far, sydney's iconic opera house shrouded in silence. it's puzzling street's deserted decision has responded to an outbreak of the highly contagious corona virus delta

variance with a 2 week lockdown. meanwhile, a lockdown in darwin has been extended. the reality is we are not out of the woods yet, not by a long life. the risk to the community has grown in the past 24 hours. we are now in extremely critical period. we must die locked down while we keep this bar as trapped. other cities have made mosque wearing compulsory and limited social gatherings. australia has recorded relatively few cases. $30000.00 since the pandemic began. but its success in keeping the virus at bay has been threatened by stuttering vaccination campaign. only around 5 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. we really faced the most serious crisis in the coven panoramic since the early days. in february, march, last year. it's made the worse because this was

a largely avoidable and foreseeable crisis. but thanks to the very poor procurement and roll out of the vaccines, we don't have that strength to, to respond to the situation that some merging as the virus forces life to a standstill. australians can only hope that the vaccination rollout picks up speed soon. straight to sidney. that'll ever join john. this is michelle harrison press. welcome to the w. now the strategy in the prime minister's been meeting with states and territory leaders. what's emerged from those discussions? that's right, the australian prime minister scott morrison led an emergency cabinet meeting on monday evening. if the country grappled with this growing coven outbreak, a couple of the new measures announced include mandatory vaccination for all a case workers and mandatory vaccination for work is involved in transporting like

crews. and that the latter is due to the source of this current outbreak here in sydney, being a limo driver who was not wearing a mosque and she was not fascinated. he was transporting international like crew to hotel florentine. he caught it that way and then spread it into the community. now these new measures have prompted many to ask why these issues was addressed of the start of the pandemic. i would critic saying the government had more than one year to, to sort this out. but they're also necessary moved, as we see the number of locally transmitted cases grow here in sydney. but also like you said, pop up across the country and most of those cases are be highly infectious. delta strain, just 10 days ago we were living cobra free lives. now we've got

a 2 week lockdown here in sydney, affecting more than 5000000 people, a lockdown in pass that just been and now the lockdown that's being extended in darwin as well as top restrictions in brooklyn. and yet only 5 percent of the population has been vaccinated, which seems rather low. that's right. it's down to a combination of factors confusing messaging from the government, a reliance on the astrazeneca vaccine, which it has not the blood clot issues. and that's made a lot of people hesitance, they've complacency over the low virus circulation, but also that being supply the government did not secure enough doses to meet united nation target. so indeed, the vaccine rollout is moving at a snail's pace. australia is lagging behind or early cd countries and vaccine coverage, like you said, less than 5 percent of the population are fully vaccinated. that is having close

doses of that scene. they've also no targeted vaccination ad campaign. so again, there's the issue of unclear messaging, or in this case, minimal messaging. will these outbreaks be a wake up call for people who were hesitating before to now perhaps go out and get the job. we'll have to wait and see, but much of the world is stored starting to open up again. there is a said that australia perhaps is being left behind. i thank you for that. rachelle harrison, the class in sydney. thank you. and well, south africa is also typing. pandemic restrictions is doctors battling a 3rd wave of infections. also driven by the delta vary president federal rama pose . this is all gatherings and alcohol sales will be banned for 2 weeks. other measures include a few cups on travel and school closures. the w visit, the town of clip round the western cape,

where residents with just getting their freedom back after 2 weeks of quantity. no one in the small remote town was known to have been infected with the corona virus since the staunch, depending but that changed in the middle of june. when 3 people suddenly died from cold 19 related complications, just hours apart. one of them lived in this house hindered okay. was a retired minor. he was 75 years old and diabetic. and then my sister filled in on sunday morning that and something was wrong with these chase. he couldn't breathe properly. and i said, maybe you guys from the millions and then i thought i said no, he went to east doing fine. my mother must be putting on some point on his chest to having to breathe properly. and, and i told him, and i asked him, why do you want us to do for you? and he said to be you guys to stay for me. and i said to my

sister, just keep it updated obviously doing what's going on with the and then we can take it from the the dates, raise the alarm prompting local helpful voice he's to probe, displayed with infections in the community. testing revealed that almost a quarter of primes $250.00 residence. we're in fix it. our recruiter is the community spokesperson. he told us people here were caught off guard. this go what he does with a bang. we weren't prepared for it since the last 15 months. we were totally free since march last year when we go with start year in south africa and suddenly it would have been. and as i already mentioned here, what we were prepared these kenny price in the heart of the community. but it has no capacity to provide care for people who are seriously ill because the hospital

is about 200 kilometers away. while most people who tested positive, hardly experienced any simpson, no one wants to take any chances. i was negative, but my, my gosh, i was born. so i decided i want to do it for you. course if i was positive, then you will do it for me all. so that's why i stay in my house. i my room in the same also course. i don't run that. in fact some out of people of i don't run that have to be infected. that's why i went to my residence, agreed to oppose a quarantine on all of plans. 65 households to slow the spirit of infection among the people of this type in the community. every one isolated from each other and the outside world. however hard at night have been the exercise

proved rewarding. most people are now free of the virus and there is the general feeling that the words is over for grant. but just if people felt safe to come out again with youngsters resuming part time, pleasure like this game of red, be fresh nationwide restrictions mean the newly found freedom will be shortness. well, let's have a look. the way health systems work outside the big cities. doctor ernest darker is a founding partner, a broad reach health care. he's an expert in developing and implementing a large scale public health programs and join us from cape town. welcome to the w. dr. we've just seen that small town hit hard by the pandemic. other ment, likely to be many more like that in south africa. unfortunately at this point, yet there are, we were always worried about a 3rd way based on the fact that we're going into winter. and this was with the

previous mariette. and then with the versions of the delta variant that apparently is much more highly transmissible, quote, coinciding with our growing into the serious part of winter. i think that's a bit of a been identity combination. so unfortunately, i think we can expect more infections and are you expecting rural areas and small communities to be hit harder than perhaps the big stresses? i wouldn't necessarily say harder or less. i think across the board. i think everybody is going to be hit quite hard. in particular, if we have more of more aggressive variant and we're talking about being in the winter time and winter in south africa, spikes with beer, we have temperature is below 10 degrees centigrade in the evenings. and often somebody who adopted 0 in the morning. so people will stay indoors as close windows, and that's going to increase the spread both in urban and rural areas. so here we are fighting ourselves and worldwide pandemic. how is the government of south

africa doing? is it giving sufficient priority to the, to the folding funding of health care facilities? it is actually already one for the government i thought after. and i think that we see exemplified by the president himself who stands up and personally give these updates is clearly a big priority. however, the company have experienced quite a few big challenges and trying to address the cobra in particular with trying to get back to nation program up and running. so the company is still been a bit behind, meaning that the new marietta hit us at a time when not enough of have been back to me yet. and what is, what is keeping that back? is it that same supply as it does that seem hesitancy? what's holding the program back at the moment? i think it's primarily been issues related to supply and. and then secondarily, some issues related to preparedness and planning. but for the most part of the company, i struggled with some major issues supplier early on the showed the astrazeneca

vaccine, which was ineffective against the barrier that we had to pull the plug on that. and then they moved to the g n. j vaccine. however, that got halted for a while. i studied the blood clotting issue and then it was put on hold of you to contact the nation issue. so basically the 2 main vaccine that you're driving interrupted which had nothing to do with the country at all. and the country then has also invested in the find the maxine which finally arrived, but it's 2 doses. so yeah, there been quite a few fundamental struggles getting out of the block overall and done, i think very good. we can see the progress wrapping up, right about a 100000 people a day. we need to be at about $350000.00 a day to be on track. and i think they have a big commitment to get the country. they're good talking to thank you for spending time dr. dr. doc and katie. my pleasure. thank you so much.

we'll take a look at some other stories making news around the world. now the us military is released footage of air strikes against iran back malicious level, the syrian iraqi border. the pentagon said he talked to the operational and weapons storage facilities. this is president biden works with international partners to revise. the 2015 iran nuclear deal. secretary of state onto the lincoln's in rome for talks on syria and dealing with a so called islamic state. he appealed to 4 countries to repatriate citizens who joined the militants, and to prosecute them if necessary. torrential rain caused a flooding, landslides in hong kong, with some areas recording more than 70 millimeters of rain. the severe weather interrupted trading on the stock exchange and disrupted schools, vaccinations and cold. here rescuers in the united states. they have not given up hope of finding more survivors of the collapse to florida apartment building more than 150 people are still unaccounted for 4 days after the disaster. 9 to confirm

dead relatives of the missing have visited the site to witness the rescue efforts for themselves was right before him. and yet he couldn't believe it. we rushed over and got here around 2 30 am. and when we saw the scene, it's just it was so hard to process them in the debris. they stumbled across a card, and it happened to be my grandmother's name hilda. and it was a birthday card that was given to her a couple weeks ago. mean what are the chances that that would happen? many others in miami dade county florida are desperate to find signs of life at the sight of collapse.
