cnn's angus watson joins us now live from sydney, australia.ngus, new zealand is delaying its election to give it time to get these new outbreaks under control. what's the latest on that move? >> reporter: well, rosemary, you remember it wasn't so long ago, just about a week ago that new zealand was celebrating over 100 days without a community transmission case of coronavirus in that country of 5 million. now we've had 58 cases of community transmission over the past week, over 100,000 tests done to locate those 58 cases. and the government there just doesn't believe that it's safe enough, particularly in auckland, the major city where that cluster is, to go ahead with the election. that's not a decision that jacinda jacinda ardern would have made lightly. they are in the ascendancy. many in new zealand believe she's done a good job. apart from this new restriction that has gone into force into auckland, new zealand is leading a relatively life in that country almost having extinguish extinguished the virus and going so close to t. her labor p

angus: good question.s are due to vote on 4,n's deal on september the crunch meeting where creditors will say yes or no. if the bondholders are seeking to get their proposal on that ballot, deloitte is opposing that. they want creditors just to vote on the bain deal. complicates matters. if the bondholders reject the bain deal and instead vote for the bondholders' proposal, that complicates matters. not entirely clear what happens at that point, whether deloitte forces through the agreed sale to bain or whether things are delayed and we enter into some kind of negotiated settlement. although the bondholders have said they want to put their deal to creditors at the meeting, they have also left room for ,egotiation with bain capital so they would be open to negotiating with bain if they can get a better return. that's what it comes down to, getting as much money as they can out of this airline. shery: we are just getting the latest virus numbers out of victoria. the health department reporting 25 covid debts

in cupar angus, we had an outbreak with a large number of cases similar to the number of cases similarferent outbreak in nature that started in a workplace, a factory. so the measure appropriate there was to advise isolation, notjust of the workers in that factory, but also their household contacts. and so far, it looks as if those measures have had an effect as the measures in aberdeen had an effect. so looking at other areas, whether and what measures we take will depend on the nature of the transmission and whether or not we think it is under control or potentially running out of control again. then we will try to tailor our response. so we won't see necessarily the same approach is being taken in every area. taking the example of ayrshire and arran, from what we know right now, it appears these are small clusters that have not started in hospitality, but in indoor household gatherings. so that will obviously shape any response that we are trying to fashion to this. and that will be the nature of the weeks and months that lie ahead. we will have to tailor our action as far as possib

senator angus king of maine said it looks like a pre-coverup. >> i don't knjohn, it is utterl why the director of national intelligence would say they're not going to give in-person briefings. now, some people might be saying what's the big deal if they're going to give written briefings? you reference, "i've worn many hats." one was assistant attorney general in the justice department, its justice department's top security lawyer. i appeared before the intelligence committee many, many, many times and let me tell you, those are very useful, i think, for those types of briefings, they're very useful for the members, and in turn, for their oversight function. it provides for a lot of question and answer for the members to really probe the witnesses in front of them and look, it's not always comfofor comfortable for the witnesses in front of them but that's not the point. the point is the intelligence committees have a duty to get those individuals before them, the members of the intelligence community, who also in turn have a duty to keep the committees fully and currently informed abo

. >>> let's bring in angus king of maine. he caucuses with the democrats. he's a member of the senate intelligence committee. senator king, what do you think? what's your reaction to this pretty significant statement by the director of national intelligence? >> well, my first reaction, wolf, is that this isn't a partisan issue. this isn't democrats or republicans. this is about informing the american people. the director of national intelligence made a commitment to congress and the american people to make clear in real time what was going on in terms of foreign interference with our elections. and now they're reanything on their commitment. who owns the intelligence. the taxpayers of america are paying billions of dollars for the collection of intelligence. we the people should have the benefit, the knowledge that that intelligence brings. learning about it next february or march doesn't do much good. we're talking about interference with our election this year, which we know is going on. the intelligence community has already told us that. and these brief

angus king wrapping up and this is a bipartisan reports of the russians were doing this to disrupt americanracy and they were doing thanks to amplify and utilize what the russians were supplying. >> there's no evidence of trump russia collusion and i'm not really sure if it's russian disinformation from the beginning. listen, we have a nefarious and hostile actor in vladimir putin. nobody disagrees with that and it's a hostile regime to the united states. i think china is probably a bigger threat to this election cycle and we've got definitely to create better defenses to preserve the integrity of our voting system in the country. if what this is all about against the president is so much bigger about the dossiers and if they don't get the pfizer application, rudy carter page for four years and spying on the presidential candidate to transition team deep into the presidency. time will tell if we have equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws. >> bret: the broad thing a hoax and that clearly is some media gone over their skis how they reported this. russia was very active an

we heard from independent senator angus king a short time ago who says it looks like a pre-cover-up. it looked like they don't want to share information especially when it comes to potential russian interference in the upcoming election. members of congress had been expecting an in-person briefing up here on capitol hill, a classified briefing, so this is certainly an abrupt change, and as you noted it definitely means that they won't be able to have that back and forth in a classified setting asking questions and, of course, for democrats, drilling down on specifically the questions about the russian interference. now, house intelligence chairman adam schiff says that he and democrat up here on capitol hill are weighing next steps. will you subpoena jebs officials to appear in public in a hearing before the election? >> that is certainly one of the tools that we may use. i can't speak for what decision we'll ultimately make. that's a decision that we'll have to go to the speaker, but we will compel the intelligence community to give congress the information that we need. >> reporter

senator angus king said the intel community has an obligation to share what it knows with congress. >> the director of national intelligence, as you indicated, made a commitment to congress and to the american people to make clear in real time what was going on in terms of of foreign interference with our elections. this is a real step backwards, it's a real slap in the face to the american people who have a right to know what the intelligence community knows. that's what they're there for. >> the president's rival, joe biden, also weighing in last night with a statement. this is not how democracy works. but it is how american national security and sovereignty works. of course, there are questions about how lawmakers are going to be able to try to get more information out of the intelligence community, because as you mentioned, they are still looking for more questions and more answers about what iran, china and russia are doing to interfere in this collection. >> sarah westwood, thank you. >>> for a unique perspective, let's bring in a former trump insider who served as chief of staf

i think senator angus king spoke very eloquently about the value of having that interchange.re should be probing questions from both sides. this is not a democratic or a republican thing. this should be something that is of concern to them and to all americans. we have foreign nation states meddling in our election process. i mean, this is a genuine threat to the safety and security of this country. >> senator king is sounding the alarm about all of this, as you say, and he will be an our program in the next hour. thank you very much, director clapper. great to talk to you. >> thanks, alisyn. >>> the head of the fda says he's open to fast tracking approval of a vaccine before large-scale trials are complete. will that be safe? we discuss, next. from prom dresses... ...to soccer practices... ...and new adventures. you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past... they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. let's help protect them together. because missing menb vaccination could mean missing out on a w

but at the end of the day, their customer in this case, as my colleague angus king said, usually the ic's customer is another part of the intelligence community or the president or congress. but their customer in this case is the american public. and i think they owe the american public to err on the side of further disclosure so that people don't get tricked, so we don't say a month from now or two months from now, some story splashes out there, and it would then be traced back to russia. why weren't we warned of that ahead of time? >> let me ask you about mail-in voting, because the president praised florida, again, led by a republican governor, and ally, and where he votes, that the state has worked hard for developing a system for appropriate mail-in balloting. he's sued nevada against mail-in balloting. are they tried to discredit a process that needs to be widely used to have a safe election during a pandemic? >> i think this is clearly the effort of the president to try to depress mail-in voting which has been used safely, securely, without fraud, in a whole series of western
