The taliban putting kabul at risk of being next. And inside covid icus, what the youngest victims of the pandemic are saying about their battle with the virus. Health officials in the u. S. Are racing to expand Vaccine Protection as a surge in Covid Cases driven by the Delta Variant has patients overwhelming hospitals. A source says within 48 hours the Food And Drug administration is set to approve a third dose. And then they will discuss and vote on the need for additional vaccines. The push is being felt across the country. Californias governor says all teachers and School Staff must be vaccinated or face weekly testing. The u. S. Surgeon general says it is possible a Covid Vaccine could be available for kids under 12 before the end of the year. Listen to this. Trials are still under way right now for kids under 12. And my hope is that they will come to a conclusion soon. And that we will get that mix Fro Applications from the companies to the fda because i can tell you that they will move fast too determine if it is safe for our kids. If everything were to fall into place, i think it is possible that we could see a vaccine before the end of the Calendar Year for kids under 12. Among those now eligible for a vaccine, the cdc says more than 61 of adults are now fully vaccinated. And when it comes to the total population, that number is just over 50 . But americas top expert explains why that number is still not high enough. We have the tools to fight the virus very effectively. I just cannot imagine why people are not looking at this as lets say were all in this together. The common enemy is the virus. Lets not let the common enemy be arguing with Each Other and have ideological differences dictate whether or not you will get vaccinated or not. As long as you have, and we have in this country 93 Million people who are eligible who are not yet getting vaccinated, that allows the virus to circulate regularly and easily and therefore you have the possibility of the emergence of Ano Another that may also allow to spread. You are becoming part of a potential problem that would lead to the Development Or Evolution of another variant, that is the problem. Some hospitals in texas are so packed with covid patients that they are using tents to house the overflow. Governor abbott are sending personnel to help hospitals across the state. And you can see the surge in new Hospital Admissions in texas and these numbers are administrators worried. There is no intervention out there that i am hearing about from the State Or Anyone else that is going to have an impact on those numbers anytime soon. If this continues, and i have no reason to believe that it will not, there is no way my hospital is going to be able to handle this there is no way the region will be able to handle this. Despite the growing number of Covid Cases, Governor Abbott is not backing away on his ban on mask mandates. The state is asking a court to block the mandate. Several counties have been granted Restraining Orders against the governor allowing them to keep their Mask Requirements for now. From stubborn politicians to frenzied parents, this was the scene outside a Tennessee School Board meeting when antimask protestors began berating others in masks. Watch this. [ chanting ] no more masks, no more masks you are a Child Abuser Everybody is taking notes, buddy. Keep that little smug. The Williamson County Board of education passed a temporary Mask Requirement for Elementary Schools and anyone on its property. As you can see, it didnt go well with everyone. Parents on both sides of the issue shared their thoughts, some more passionate than others, some threatening Board Members and others in attendance. Health care experts were on hand to stress how important the Mask Requirement was to keep students safe. A Health Care worker spoke with cnn about what she believes is fanning the flames. I think that they are afraid of another shutdown. I think that they have been so enclosed with not being normal that the potential of someone controlling their life, they are stressed out, you know. And they are lashing out. And we are simply we dont want to wear the masks either. We are inch isly trying to be an advocate. Tennessee is just one of many states seeing a rise in hospitalizations, especially across the southeast. A new Cdc Forecast says that is likely to continue for the next four weeks. It predicts as many as 40,000 more u. S. Deaths by September 4 and another 10,000 to 33,000 more hospitalizations over roughly the same period. In the past hour, there is word the taliban have seized a tenth provincial capital in afghanistan. Ghazni. It fell after a local official described long and intense fighting. This is about 100 miles south of kabul and On The Road that connects the capital with the large city of kandahar. They think that kabul could be captured within a few months. This is triggering alarms because the region is considered essential to the defense of kabul. And the Human Toll is growing. The Foreign Minister says 6,000 people have been killed since april including 2,000 civilians. But there is no change in the u. S. Plan to withdraw troops by the end of this month. The u. S. Special representative To Afghanistan is pushing for a political settlement in talks and the pentagon insists the outcome of this conflict is not a foregone conclusion. Clearly from a estrategic perspective, the taliban keep advancing. But the narrative that in every place, in every way the Afghan Forces are simply folding up and walking away is not accurate. Im not at all, and nobody should take away from this, this im discounting what were seeing, a deteriorating security situation. Weve been nothing but candid about that. But to your question, there are places and there are times, including today, where Afghan Forces in the field are putting up a fight. Nick Paton Walsh is in london. Reports of a tenth provincial capital falling. Are you surprised by how quickly the taliban has taken over large swathes of the country . Reporter yeah, i think even some of the worst predictions didnt think that wed be signing ten provincial capitals falling in under a week. Is it possible John Kirby has a point and that there may be places that the Afghan Security Forces are able to hold . Well see that. Certainly the city of harat in the West Hasnt fallen yet. There is still intense fighting in the south although it does appear that the insurgents have broken into the Police Headquarters there. And in kandahar to its east, a Prison Break has released 1,000 criminals. So things are not looking good in the south here. But it is a very different story in other parts of the country and the fact that Ghazn Ii has fallen is significant because it is the second major city to fall under taliban control, and it is vital in terms of connecting the two cities and al add to the narrative and even John Kirby accepted that were seeing a Swift Taliban advance. Predicting, yes. Comforting, absolutely not. Im sure there are a lot of people wondering why that Capital City of 6 Million may start to feel increased pressure from taliban moving in around it. Today some abrupt changes within the ranks of the afghan military, the Chief Of Staff replaced, and some individuals in charge of Special Forces promoted. So, yes, clearly they note things are not going in their direction. But they will not be remotely heartened by the Background Noise of u. S. Intelligence assessments that at one thought in their nightmarish scenario that maybe kabul may be vulnerable in six months, but now that is reduced by potentially 30 days. Noises like that are just bound to speed up the debate as to when and how diplomats at u. S. Embassies and other embassies might need to be lessened in number and you may start seeing that coach its own momentum as well with a significant impact to the security situation. So it is a bad week for the Security Forces there and it looks like that it will continue to worsen. Yeah, more dire by the day. Nick pay coton walsh, thank you much. Last hour i spoke with ashley jackson, and i asked her about the talibans momentum. People seem like they were surprised. They shouldnt have been. The taliban has been laying the Ground Work for this for months if not years. And i think that it is surprising that it is coming before the u. S. Completes its withdraw, but even u. S. Security and Intelligence Assessments have been telling us this is likely for months. So we got Word Today a tenth provincial capital possible falling. The afghan government has been trying to minimize the perception of these losses, claims that it can retake the districts. But even if they can, which is not a given, the evidence seems to suggest that they cant hold the territory if they were to recapture. Yes. Just to be clear, when the taliban swept through these districts last month and the preceding weeks, they captured more than 200 of the 400 districts. The government is not getting those back. Nine, ten cities in the past week or so, they are not getting those back. And these are large towns really, they are the low hanging fruits for the taliban. But wihat the taliban is trying to do is stretch the government, stretch the Afghan Security Forces who are really reliant on these Special Forces that have been shuttling between City And City and trying to hold the lines and reinforce really exhausted Afghan Army and troops. But the taliban strategy is sadly working. And she went on to suggest it that even if the taliban could take kabul, they are not equipped to govern. Tropical storm fred has weakened to a tropical depression as it dumps Heavy Rain on parts of haiti and the dominican republic, but there is a chance fred could strengthen to a tropical storm again, so lets bring in pedram javaheri. So you have been tracking this. What are the chances that it could get worse . Certainly possible. There are some elements that will allow the Storm System to flourish potentially as we go towards early this weekend and then eventually into next weekend a then there are other elements that will try to inhibit it and at this point the Model Consensus is that it will try to inhibit strengthening. It is a system with 35 mileperhour winds, not very organized, very much a Weakening System because the past 24 hours it has been battling mountains at 10,000 feet or 3,000 metersae taller than anything that you will find in the united states. So this is a rugged landscape. The elements in place here that allow the storm to strengthen are water temperatures above 82 degrees fahrenheit, minimum threshold to sustain a tropical system and im here to tell you it is well above that value and get into the gulf of mexico, that is concerning for later in the season, it is Bath Water Warm there, about 93 degrees. But notice pretty good agreement within the models that the system will want to hug the northern coast of cuba the next several days. And that will play a role in trying to strengthen this and then eventually end up somewhere around the western coast of florida. But once we get to sunday and monday, there is some Wind Shear that will try to break it apart and that is another inhibiting factor for tropical systems. So well watch that carefully. We think the system should remain weak as a result of that and again, the Steering Environment is such that it will drive it into that area where Wind Shear is highest. So if that is the case, this will try to gradually strengthen 40, 50, maybe 60 miles per hour. But with tropical systems, any sort of variation in Wind Pattern here and Steering Environment could push it back into the golf and if it goes western side of the golf, it is an entirely different story. So well watch this. Dont want to see that. Well keep tracking it. Pedram javaheri, thank you so much. There are brutal heatwaves fueling wildfires. The Dixie Fire has grown to half A Million acres. It has already destroyed a,000 stru thousand structures and threatening more. A man in Southern Italy was killed while trying to save his animals from a wildfire. And temperatures are just shy of 49 Degrees Celsius or 120 fahrenheit. In al fgeria, there is three da of national mourning. And firefighters on the island of evia are slowly gaining control. Jomana karedsheh is standing by but lets go to Eleni Giokos in greece. Is the situation finally improving there . Reporter yeah, so what were seeing right now is the continuous monitoring of the possibility of rekindling of fires which we had seen over the past day. It is still defined as an active front. You have planes flying monitoring what is going on in northern evia. But i want to show you a building that has been burned down, and in fact maybe homes have been impacted. Ill take you through to what was an English School and you will see the devastation. And some people lost their homes when they were in the path of the fire, other homes were actually saved. I want to take you inside just so i can show you the extent and the impact, intensity, kim, of the fire. You can see that the whole roof, all the times have been destroyed. This is the experience of so many locals. So while the big flames are largely over, the economic losses are enormous. We know the government has put measures in place for compensation, but for people here, they say were talking about decades and decades of recovery because they rely on resin from the Pine Trees that have been destroyed, those industries have been heavily impacted. It takes 30 to 60 years to fully mature. You have honey makers, other people with plantations that have been destroyed. And now it is about their economic recovery. Remember last year we had the pandemic, this year they were hoping to have tourists, but that hope is gone. People have seen 100 cancellation in hotels. So i think right now still des despair, still a lot of pain. Heartbreaking to see the cost of that damage up so close there. Thanks for bringing us that. And jomana, turning to the deadly fires in algeria, they have asked for help from the international community. What is the latest on the fires there . Reporter well, it seems we are entering a fourth day of the algerian authorities trying to battle these flames, more than 100 fires they say erupted starting on monday, they have spread in the northern part of the country impacting 16 provinces. What has made this a really tough battle for them is if you look at these areas, these are mountainous areas, forests, villages, pretty much hard to reach areas for the authority. They have had to deploy the military to try and assist in the evacuations and Firefighting Effort and that is why weve seen the devastating Death Toll more than 28 service members among those who have lost their lives to these wildfires. Now what is also making this tougher for them is the fact that the country is under a heatwave. Record temperatures according to state media, 47, 48 Degrees Celsius in the Fire Zone in the shade they say. So it has been really tough. The government as you mentioned has turned to European Allies for assistance and international aid seems to be on the way. They have also hired planes they say from the european union, the french president announcing that france is deploying a number of firefighting planes. The government says that it is Dispatching Experts to the region, they are investigating these fires, but they have been insisting, kim, that this is the result of arson blaming this on criminals saying it is deliberate and premeditated. But as we have been seeing in the mediterranean region, this seems to be the new normal as a result of climate change. Scientists have been warning that the mediterranean region has become a wildfire hot spot. Yeah, and were seeing it all around the world. Jomana karedsheh, thank you so much.

Of course children under 12 cannot yet get the vaccine.

The dos are not wide open . Thats correct. Right now the trajectory is for early next year 2022, the Prime Minister has used carefully placed language including careful and deliberate in terms of the pathway ahead and also confidence, clarity, these are the sorts of things this that they want to be feeling. And it will be done in tiers, in stages. Those coming from low risk countries will not have to go through mandatory quarantine if they have been vaccinated but then there will be a scaled system up to high risk countries if they are coming from there, they will still need to do quarantines. But listen to what gentarden ha say. Were not in a position to fully reopen just yet. When we move, we will be careful and dlebeliberate. We dont want to be in the same cases of countries that are seeing cases rise again. And of course the Prime Minister also making it clear that if things dont go the way they are hoping, it could have a big impact on business of course, so a lot of countries thinking about reopening borders really because the economies are suffering with ongoing lockdowns and border controls. But all of that said, New Zealand will be putting six weeks from the first and second vaccination to get a bulk of people at least partially vaccinated and get that movement going towards opening up come early next year.
