for decades, south korea reports another record of daily colbert infections. we'll have a live update from a capital sold, and a boost in the fight against pain can addiction epidemic in the us. drug companies reached a $26000000000.00 settlement. ah, the pentagon is expressing alarm over the worsening security situation in afghanistan, the senior most us general says the taliban now controls nearly half of the country's $400.00 districts. coincides with the continued pullout of us troops. fighting between the afghan government forces and the taliban is intensifying at least 7 people were killed me southern province of canada. on wednesday it happened during shelling between the military and taliban fighters in a separate incident for fighters were killed when the vehicle hit a roadside bomb in the dunn district. my county has more now from washington. d. c . is secretary of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff who spoke to the media in the course of the day. they say that withdrawal is going on as scheduled. some $8000.00 troops have already

other costs of south korea have also been on this highest level. and really, as the authority is now, look at the summer months, some people doing more, vacationing, more traveling that really have to look at extending some of these restrictions through the rest of south korea. given the virulent of this delta variance and rob, despite the rise in cases south korea, haven't seen a significant increase in the hospitalizations and death is the vaccine rollout having any impact here. that is one of the encouraging aspects i suppose of this that compared with previous waves, we have not had the same types of hospitalizations and deaths. there are more hospital resources, more beds for cobra patients in existence. but also, as the vaccines that have been rolled out then some of the more vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and nursing homes and so on, they are by and large being protected. we have something like a 3rd of the population has had at least one jobs so far. but that does draw attention to the fact that there are 2 thirds of the population

but this hasn't been a surprise for south korea. every time we speak, rob starts with you, but with other correspondence as well, you get the feeling that yes, there was a point where countries were able to deal with the code 19 crisis. and then suddenly something happened. and they weren't able to do that again. south korea seems to have gone exactly the same way, right? it is dealing with this massive 4th wave here of, of cases which is a concern. and the latest figures, again, bear out the fact that there is still very much in the grip of this wave sundays figures were slightly reduced because of course, there's a dip and the number of tests done over the weekend. but still, the number of new cases being recorded here is well above a 1000 that it has remained like that for nearly 2 weeks. the good news for the authorities is that because more and more of the population, especially the vulnerable populations here are getting vaccinated. then it's not being accompanied by the same kind of numbers of hospitalizations or death, but i

this is home to around half of south korea population. we've been under the most stringent measures since the start of this week. but this is where most of the new cases are occurring. but there is increasing concern about what's going on out in the provinces with reports of new daily infections, more than doubling recently. and there's a real concern that as we get further into the summer holiday season, south koreans this summer, as they did last summer by and large, can't be taking that vacations overseas. so they tend to head for all of the coastal resorts on the east coast. the south coast, the island of gedge you, all of these a tourism destination is become very busy and there's a real concern that unless the government puts these greater restrictions in place across south korea, we're going to see more clusters in those areas. and the government believes that if they take action now this the latest 4th wave will peak in about one to 2 weeks . but by that stage, we might actually be seeing daily infections get more than 2000 per da
