Im laura jarrett. Im amara walker. Welcome to our viewers around the world. We have reports from florida, london, kenya, the White House, and sydney great to have you this week. Breaking minutes ago, Simone Biles is coming back. Usa gymnastics confirmed shell take part in Tuesdays Balance Beam final. It will be her first olympic event since july 27th, is she withdrew citing mental health concerns. A tweet from Usa Gymnastics says were so excited to confirm that you will see two u. S. Athletes in the Balance Beam final tomorrow. Suni lee and Simone Biles. I cant wait to watch both. Well have more coming up from tokyo in a few minutes. To coronavirus now and positive news that more and more americans received the message that vaccines work. As of this morning, the sevenday average of people getting their first shot is about 433,000. Thats the highest number in a month. The real good news here in the jump is in southern states that have been struggling to get shots in arms. Alabama, arkansas, and louisiana have doubled their vaccinations compared to just three weeks ago. And separating fact from fiction about vaccines. Looking at the data. Here is what we know. Fewer than four in 100,000 people who have been fully vaccinated have been hospitalized with covid and fewer than 1 in 100,000 fully vaccinated people died from covid. Now those are incredible numbers and yet too many are losing Loved Ones who put off their shots until it was too late. If youre on the fence and its only about Side Effects or whatever it is, its totally worth it because i dont have mike anymore. My kids dont have a dad anymore because we hesitated. A know a lot of people will say theres this and that. Anyone can have a bad reaction to any vaccination without history. I would take a bad reaction to the vaccine over having to bury my husband. I would take that any day. And to be clear, the bad reaction is rare. 61 of people eligible for a shot in the u. S. Have had one now but half the country remains unprotected. Were talking about those who have chosen not to get vaccinated and, of course, kids under 12 who cant get one yet. Thats one reason the head of the n. I. H. Supports the growing number of businesses asking customers for proof of vaccination. As a public Health Person who wants to see this pandemic end, yes, i think anything we can do to encourage reluctant folks to get vaccinated. Because theyre going to be part of the public events. Thats a good thing. The New York times is reporting the White House has been recruiting social Media Influencer to push back against Vaccine Misinformation and to encourage teens to get vaccinated. Now those influencers include twitch streamers, youtubers, tik tokkers, and, of course, most famously Oliva Rodriguez who spoke at the White House last month. Getting the covid shot is as important as ever with the Delta Variant spreading. Nearly 60 of the country is in a high Transmission Area including nearly all of florida which is where we find cnns Randy Kay with more. Reporter good morning. Were continuing to see a spike in covid cases here in the state of florida. More than 110,000 new cases in the last week or so. The daily average is hovering at about 15800 cases every day over the past week or so. We also have set a new report over the weekend. The highest number of cases in a single day since the pandemic began, 21,683 cases on saturday and over the weekend. Right now 19. 2 of all covid cases across the country are here in the state of florida. Right now what we dont know in this peak will hit the max. We expect the number of people needing acute and Critical Care for covid to continue to increase in the upcoming days. Reporter and florida right now is seeing the highest average cases since january. Still only about 49 of floridians are fully vaccinated. So we do have a ways to go. Schools are about to reopen. Kids are going back to the classroom. Theres a lot of concern about the children. On average nearly 11,000 new covid cases among children younger than 12 years old in the last week or so. We know theyre not eligible yet for the vaccine. That Age Group is also seeing a Positivity Rate of 18. 1 . As they go back to school, the Governor Desantis said they wont be able to mandate masks in the classrooms here. He issued an Executive Order telling the School Districts you cannot do it. Its about Freedom Of Choice for parents to decide. He said any district that defies his order could risk losing funding and become ineligible for grants. Back to you. Thank you for that. Breaking overnight, the deal is in. A bipartisan group of senators finalized the text of the president s trillion Dollar Infrastructure Package after hours of lastminute additions and edits to the more than 2,000 page bill. More than half of this, 550 Billion for improving the electric grid, Mass Transit improvements, drinking water, and internet, and the first federal network of electric vehicle charging stations. These days it isnt easy to do major bills in the senate, especially bipartisan ones. So ive tried to prod the negotiators along when they needed it and given them the space when theyve asked for it. Given how bipartisan the bill is and how much work has been put into getting the details right, i believe the senate can quickly process relevant amendments and pass this bill in a matter of days. Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he wants the Infrastructure Bill and a Budget Resolution passed before the august recess. That means building enough republican support in the evenly divided senate. Another hurdle . Democrats in the house said they wont even consider infrastructure unless a 3. 5 trillion Budget Bill accompanies it. Adam kinzinger expects the House Committee investigating the Capitol Riot to issue a significant number of subpoenas to find out donald trumps Write Abouts on the day of the insurrection. He signalled some reluctance to subpoena the former president himself. At least not right away. We may not have to talk to donald trump. There were tons of people around him. There were tons of thing involved. If you talk to the former president , it have a whole new set of kind of like, you know, everything associated with it. Im like maybe but i know were going to get to the information. If he has unique information, thats one thing. I think there are a lot of people around him that knew some things. He expects House Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy to be among those who receive subpoenas. Back on the beam. Simone biles is back in olympic competition tomorrow.

How did we get to this . So often politics getting the way into the normal, calm olympics. On Friday Krystsina tsimanouskaya she was vocal on instagram criticizing the squad telling her she had to compete in a race she had no training for. She said it was because the team had essentially messed up the number of people they had available in their squad. Outspoken criticism seems, according to her accounts, to lead officials from the top. She said you have to wonder if belarus president lukashenko was involved in this, given how close he is to the olympic committee. He is in charge of an extraordinary crackdown inside belarus. You can essentially be put up on charges for extremism for being an independent journalist. This particular protest by Krystsina Tsimanouskaya said your olympics are over. You have to go home. She says she was forcibly taken to the airport in the last 24 hours in tokyo and essentially, it seems, told to get on a flight home.

Thats what desperately needs to happen if were going to get this Delta Variant put back in its place. Right now its having a pretty big party in the middle of the country. Now remember all the unvaccinated people are what allowed a virus to mutate and create new variants. Theres growing frustration among vaccinated people toward the unvaccinated as more rules and restrictions are being put back in place due to the rising number of cases. New York Citys Mayor Bill de blasio saying hell give more guidance on indoor Mask Use today. More restaurants and bars now require customers to show proof of vaccination, including a restaurant on Beacon Hill in seattle. The decision is based on the fact that there are a lot of Restaurant Workers that are actually catching covid even though theyre vaccinated.

Millions of renters in limbo after congress let federal Eviction Protections expire over the weekend. Democrats are increasing pressure to extended Eviction Ban with some sleeping outside the capitol this weekend.

The issue is exposing a major disconnect between the president and his party with each side privately accusing the other of misreading the situation as tenants across the Country Face Potential removal from their homes. Joe johns has more from the White House. Reporter White House officials say there is a strategy to deal with the eviction moratorium issue. Its coming off a slow in the execution for millions of americans who are behind on their rent. What is going full speed ahead is the Blame Game up on Capitol Hill after the White House waited until the last moment to send a request for enactment of a moratorium to congress. Democrats on the Hill Blame republicans. They said they cant get the votes. However, as Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said on cnn on sunday, you cant, in good faith, blame republicans when democrats are in control of the leadership. House leadership had the opportunity to vote to extend the moratorium and there were many, frankly, a handful of Conservative Democrats in the house that threatened to get on planes rather than hold this vote. We have to really just call a Spade A spade. We cannot, in good faith, blame the Republican Party when House Democrats have the majority. Reporter earlier this year, Congress Appropriated Tens of billions for housing that has never been distributed partly because of slow dragging in the states and also because of bureaucratic issues and paperwork. So why doesnt the administration just go ahead and put in a new moratorium on its own . Theres a risk to that. The Supreme Court has already said congress has to weigh in before the moratorium is extended. Laura and amara, back to you. Joe johns, thank you. Tensions at sea are escalading between Israel And Iran after a deadly drone attack. Two Crew Members working on the tanker were killed by an armed drone off the coast of oman. The u. S. , uk, and israel all blaming iran. Nic robertson is joining us now with more. So, nick, we know the tanker that was attacked is connected to an israeli millionaire and the Prime Minister said israel has intelligence that the iranians were behind this. What more do we no . Reporter thats the view shared here in the uk. They said highly iron delivered an targeted attack on a ship in international waters. Theres a trite record that the british Foreign Office disappoints out about iran so far this year. They said there have been presimilar attacks on israelilinked Shipping Vessels in that area since february earlier this year. We heard from the state department, as well, saying they believe iran was responsible and there will be response forthcoming. Israels Foreign Minister said that he is pleased both the united states and the uk are taking this issue on. I think we can expect the response the forthcoming response to be diplomatic in nature but this is coming at a tense time in relations and changing time in relations between the united states and iran. You have a new iranian president being sworn in later this week. Hes more hardlined than the previous iranian president. At this time, the whoigs is trying to negotiate with iran to get back into the nuclear talks. The Jcpoa Talks In Vienna at the moment in austria. The talks at the moment are stalling and theyll be going on for months. There seems to be a Break Down in sort of free flow in communication. The two sides are not meeting Face To face and the position of this incoming iranian president hes not negotiating for the sake of negotiations. Thats what he said. Weve heard that from the state department, as well. The Bottom Line this is an escalating, tense diplomatic movement when things were already very difficult. Yeah. Thank you so much. Just when you think relations between democrats and republicans on Capitol Hill cant get any lower, democrats are now calling on House Republican Leader Kevin Mccarthy to apologize to Nancy Pelosi after joking he would hit the speaker with a gavel should he become the next speaker.

The most vulnerable residents will be prioritized ahead of the winter season. Possible emergence of new variants. We are live in london with the latest on this. Selma we saw launch similar initiative over the weekend. Lots of folks in the u. S. Are anxious about a third shot for the vaccine. What sparked the decision in the uk . Reporter its something theyve been working on for months now. We finally have a deadline starting september. Millions of people potentially could be getting a third booster shot. This is despite the fact that numbers of cases are actually going down in the uk right now. So why are boosters . Why not the two shots that kept us fully vaccinated in the first reason is vaccine efficacy. There are multiple studies the efficacy of the vaccine wanes over time. The second issue, this is key, its the issue of variants. Fear of future variants. A group of scientists a few days ago published a report saying it is likely the virus will be able to mutate until it is able to evade a current vaccine. They said it is very possible. They said its highly unlikely that the virus will be eradicated. Bottom line . Well be living with it for a long time. The virus will continue to change. It may change until it is able to evade our current vaccines. What is the solution . Boo Booster Shots like what youre seeing the government do in september across the uk here. Booster shots like what were seeing happen in israel now. Potentially what it means is looking at a future, looking at a few years where scientists, advisors, Government Officials will be recommending more shots in the future. Laura . Yeah. The data out of israel is striking to show how much your immunit immunity wanes after five or six months. A lot of people that got the shots last winter, its coming due. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Now the network denies it has done that. It said it never posted misinformation about covid19, and went a step further on monday putting an editorial on the website accusing youtube of attacking Sky News Australias freedom of thought. Sky news australia, as you said, is owned by Rupert Murdoch News corps. In australia two major cities in lockdown as the Delta Variant spreads. Here in sydney a lockdown in the sixth week has failed to bend the curve of covid19. What is making it even worse is australias population is dangerously undervaccinated.

The government said that unless it gets Up To 70 , 70 of adults having had two shots of covid19 vaccinations that lockdowns like this will continue, amara.

Sea levels in lagos are rising dramatically due to Climate Change Leaving Carrings and houses submerged an economy in crisis. Cnn reports. Reporter even in the best of times, lagos is a difficult city to live in. Now theyve had in mid july some of of the worst flooding in recent years. Thats saying something because this is a city that floods every year between march and november. Now nigerias agency is predicting some catastrophic flooding in september, which will be the peak of the rainy season. Ahead of the problem is climate change. Because of rising seas and it comes down to human activity. According to one Study Lead by the institute for development studies, its because of the inadequate and poorly planned Draining Systems and unplanned urban growth. Why is this happening only in lagos and not in New York city or here in kenya on the indian Ocean Coast . It is because this is a city that has 24 Million people. I have spent a lot of time reporting in this city, and its a vibrant city with great spirits, but its also difficult to navigate and overcrowded. Thats all leading to this current crisis. The warning is serious because its africas most populated city and the economy larger than some african countries. Where will the people go . To take the warning into perspective, it also means victoria island, which has this affluent neighborhood with some of the most expensive property will creease to exist. Its a major problem nigeria cannot handle alone. The nigerian president said hes open to working with international partners to tackle climate change, including the biden administration. That its truly a dire warning. In this city, in the heart of west africa, this could be a really tragic. Thank you so much for that.
