d. c. kimberly like the u. k. the u. s. enjoys fairly high rates of vaccination. other similar concerns in the us about the fast reopening of general life. given that there's quite a lot of vaccination that not everyone is taking up the offer of those vaccines was really a concern. is this past holiday weekend that we've had here in the united states, the independence day holiday, where a record number of americans both vaccinated i'm vaccinated, we're traveling and going into this holiday weekend. we know that already 50 percent of states in the us have a bike in cases as well as hospitalizations due to covered 19 that delta variance, apparently driving a lot of those among the backs and aided ad. the concern is with the holiday weekend that we've just experienced here in the u. s, but not only the increase travel, but also the social gatherings are going to see if i can cases in the coming weeks . so public health officials really on the alert for that right now, and we should also point out that this was a milestone that the u. s. president joe biden had hoped,

d. c. kimberly, as always, thank you very much. indeed. china is being accused of engaging in malicious cyber activity, including the hack of microsoft exchange email server. earlier this year, the u. s. the u. k and other allies say groups backed by beijing were responsible, compromising tens of thousands of computers worldwide, is one of a range of cyber threats. china is being blamed for, including ransomware attacks with millions of dollars. the us lead alliance is expected when i was details of action against china later on, mundane or it's a sentence chief research analyst with i t harvest and he's joining us live from birmingham michigan via skype. good, happy with us and al jazeera. so thank you very much. so china has made several attacks over the last few years on the us, particularly. what's significant about the reaction to this one. yeah, you're right in the china has had continuous attacks all grass you know, so we kind of give them a break because have to spies working together. this is. ready completely different because it was so widespread used and i know and vulnerable the

let's bring on our white house correspondent, kimberly how can joining us from washington d. c. so the president, very much defending his withdrawal plans and i've got a son. kimberly yeah, you did that i java summing up the speech and i think i want to highlight on a couple of the points that he made because there was some news in the speech. you noted the august 31st withdrawal day. that is moving up of what he announced in april when he said in fact, all of the us soldiers would be out by september 11th the 20th anniversary of the september 11th attacks in not only washington, but also new york city. so that is notable. he did not give an explanation for moving up that date only that that is now the new date. some of what the president had to say is not much different than what he said in april. he certainly underscored once again why he was making the decision. he was and outlining the enormous cost that american soldiers have paid in trying to ensure that there was not another an attack on the u. s. homeland, not only the casualties that number in the thousands, but also the

that's over now to our white house correspondent, kimberly house in washington, d. c. by president joe biden is expected to meet his covey 19 task force. so as i was discussing with sonia, kimberly, it looks like the case marching on regardless with the eating of restrictions. how much of an audience is that in the us to clean the u. s. administration for the message of cautiousness from the w h. o. well certainly that is something that the public health officials and the buyer and coven response team take very seriously. if the same time the united states feels that it has been leading the efforts globally in terms of vaccinations. and the hope is that that trajectory will continue, but the big challenge in the united states remains vaccine hesitancy. and so that's why we're going to hear from the us president in the coming hours about how he believes he can meet that by the end of the week. the estimate is that 160000000 americans will be fully vaccinated. but of course, there are more than 350000000 americans, and so they're still a long way to go in terms of getting

you live in the meantime, let's bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly how it gets you joining us from washington. d. c. so what can we expect the president to be saying later this hour? we're getting a clear sense of what the us president and commander in chief of the us forces will be talking about with respect to afghanistan, the white house press secretary jen saki holding her daily briefing. and we expect that what the president is going to talk about is some of the concern surrounding the uptick in violence that has been seen in afghanistan. particularly since the us forces, for the most part have withdrawn with only traces left behind. and the concern being that the taliban continues to make gains and will continue to make gains in advance of what is ultimately the complete withdrawal of us troops. although the white house has been careful to point out, there will still be a diplomatic, as well as a security presence that will remain indefinitely. and to that end, what we expect is that the u. s. president will make some of these remarks and bring about a personal tone in terms of delivering the
