10:06 pm
a possibility of different levels of enforcement on that basis it means that people might do wrong you know they might actually find themselves bumping into people that they they shouldn't be down a park for example the clarity though. is tempered by the fact that the government is absolutely insistent that should the data go the opposite way and should be our number that reproduction number of infections start to increase beyond one then the restrictions will be imposed and the conditions that were imposed by the prime minister are very clear indeed i'd also the sense of the recognition that some things are simply on them there was a report issued by the government stepped in and the sentence leapt out to me we cannot predict with absolute certainty what the impact of lifting the restrictions will be but he went on to say that if the data goes the wrong way we will have no hesitation in putting on the brakes again all right paul thank you very much for that update. of france's official death toll has risen

a welcome respite from the reality of the pandemic * and the political fallout left in its wake katrina new al-jazeera. hundreds of undocumented migrants have been arrested by police and a targeted operation just outside the malaysian capital video released by local media shows crowds of people lining up in kuala lumpur following the arrival of a large group of police officers the malaysian government says it's trying to prevent migrants travelling during the coronavirus lock down more than $500.00 were arrested during a similar operation earlier this month florence though is in kuala lumpur with more . this is very similar to a rape that was carried out at apartment blocks in kuala lumpur on the 1st of may now these raids on monday morning are carried out in an area that is under lockdown which means residents in those areas are not allowed to leave their homes whether for food or medicine things are delivered to them and this is to prevent or contain the spread of the corona virus these are areas where clusters of the virus have
10:22 pm
been reported now everyone in those areas would have been tested for the corona virus and the government has said that it intends to detain undocumented migrants in areas and lock down and this appears to be what the government is doing in carrying out these raids on monday morning and the undocumented migrants who were detained in the raid on the 1st of may were sent to an immigration detention center and it's very likely that the same is going to happen to the ones who are detained in the operation on monday morning however that's several issues of that and one is that there is a possibility that refugees who are not yet registered with the u.n. refugee agency in malaysia or sign them seekers who may have their registration expired may inadvertently have been detained as well and the other issue is these rates could be counterproductive yes the government is detaining undocumented migrants in areas for lock down but what about undocumented migrants in areas that

are not under lockdown then these people will be more reluctant to seek treatment or to come forward to be tested even if they are exhibiting symptoms and this could be a potential health issue for malaysia in trying to prevent the spread of the corona virus international flights come lands in the philippines capital again after the government reopened its airports flights were stopped last week after the country couldn't cope with thousands of workers returning from overseas jamila and all got reports from manila. these foreign visitors are now able to supply out of the philippines after waiting for over a month many. airlines begun cutting flights in march and a week ago manila's main airport was closed i was going back i don't merge but the good bin laden right now i'm going but i'm feeling really good good about my government and i'm very thankful for them and also for the british government. the government temporary halted flights as it struggled to speed up testing for corona
