to rescue campus trapped by wildfires in northern california. i am. thank you very much for joining us india has a faster brazil to become the country with the 2nd highest number of corona virus infections in the world in the past 24 hours the health ministry has reported more than 90000 new cases and over 1000 deaths india has had the world's largest daily number of infections for almost a month now despite the government discontinuing with plans to reopen including resuming metro rail services in the capital it is a random is at one of the stations in new delhi. despite india according to me. any other country. to egypt is immune to new bedford have been the 1st time in the. number of major cities including here in delhi in

fact mumbai police if you look at it it would be. measured in september by the capital the worst they say mom and i shop now this is a relief to many people many millions of people use the metro in the cities because the building is being. and it pays to manage with limited lines and limited time to boil it down and there are a number of restrictions placed including the where the social distancing people are only allowed to sit on it to see how the government message for many months now has been indians must live with the point i was taking it in the proportion and that's because they say they come to another nation town like the one day the latest g.d.p. figures shows india's economy shrunk by needy 20 percent that's more than any other major on me in the. 300 refugees have arrived in indonesia it's believed the

group came by boat to a province but it's unclear from where previously local officials refused to allow boat of rohingya refugees to land citing the coronavirus pandemic hundreds of thousands of rohingya fled myanmar after a military crackdown in 2016 most are in neighboring bangladesh let's speak to james gomez about this has a regional director at the asia center joins us via skype from singapore thank you so much mr gomes to be with us the majority of the rohingya refugees who fled myanmar have been in bangladesh how concerning is it to you that we're still seeing these arrivals in august a southeast asian nations like indonesia what does it say about the current situation in myanmar. i think 2 interesting developments here in this state of early crises 1st is the biggest push back from bangladesh the government you know publicly stated those increasing fatigue. earning are

refugees in bangladesh in cost. and the government has also stated is not going to accept investments of what they're going to go well being even means extending yes they probably shouldn't cost particular so today's $70.00 that kind of. happening the 2nd issue is really is that business happening in the context of 19 this is a unique. juncture in time because it's a law in governments in thailand malaysia and human indonesian authorities are to be responsibly up push back again also rage on the concerns of the citizens or anxieties of citizens around consent so you you'll find that you know human being this latest incident. made possible want to leave by coming culture of

isolated fishermen and the local community there and right listening to me. we understand that the majority of the people who've arrived on the boat women and children what can you tell us more about their situation and what sort of help are they getting in a change right now. well i think the main issue is a point on the man gender approach that we need to take in relation to women because that numbers are large what happens really apart from the challenges they may have had during the journey on the boat but there are also large concerns around prenatal impuls natal chance that we may need to receive as well as child services for the children and in this context of the 19 this becomes even more urgent and i think this is one of the numbers tell us in terms of the services even in children right as he said the border is

a tightening because of coronavirus fresh restrictions a lot of the host countries are under strain what can be done now in the media to to help these refugees because sending them back to myanmar is not an option is it . you know it's not i mean we reopening and still you know developing a long term strategy that will include buying from me and so that you know during those 10 go back to the homeland you know all of us are. full rights as citizens. but in the interim has it become a thing that countries should not you know act irresponsibly and push back and i think they should corals in places where they don't receive asylum seekers or refugees and put into place those protocols of social distancing wearing masks are going to go in 1000 songs and all that has been down for everyone the region thank you so much for talking to us on this ago mess james gomez's regional director at

the asia center joining us a friend singapore we appreciate your time thank you. the wild new high shane has made landfall in south korea it's not travelling towards north korea where 6 spectate to bring more strong winds and heavy rain. battered japan injuring 20 people and forcing more than 1800000 others to leave their homes tens of thousands of buildings have been left without power it's the 2nd storm to hit the region in a week rob mcbride has more from paul hahn in south korea. and is still making its way north cross the korean peninsula it is still in south korea still making its presence felt but very soon will be passing again have to see this is very much following the same track as another typhoon of a few days ago typhoon my sack passing out to sea but it came ashore in the southeast of the country here with very strong winds also a little for

a lot of rain bringing with it we had the city of post here when it did come ashore that this part of the city it was the more exposed coastal area where it's porteous they were recording just in excess of 150 kilometers per hour of course the strongest winds in fact accused to the japanese main japanese island of the south where we had the gusts in excess of 200 kilometers per hour hundreds of thousands of people evacuating seeking shelter and that's where we've seen the most damage but as this type thing progress is it goes out to sea later monday and then monday evening it makes landfall again as my sack did in north korea as they reach north korea they do lose some of their intensity but north korea raising quite a precarious position it doesn't have the kind of infrastructure that south korea and japan has to deal with these extreme weather events but interestingly the north koreans have taken a far more proactive approach. been suffering from these storms with far more

reporting almost in real time on state run television which is quite unusual for. north korea we've also seen kim jong un the leader being outgoing seeing the places that have been impacted i think want to go much to show that he is a leader who cares about his people he knows that the kinds of things they're going through because of course they face all of these problems which are exacerbated by these storms such as the covert the isolation for because of covert 19 and also the ongoing sanctions so. we do know that he north koreans are very concerned about this bracing for it and we do know that from their reporting that their main city in the east of one sun is once again underwater it has been flooded so more damage to come and this latest storm approaches north korea. well let's get the latest and i share now with our senior meteorologist editor and fox where is this storm headed now what's the path of the storm and where is it going to head next and yeah the

storm is making its way pretty much to north. it's going to punch its way out into the open morse's like rob was suggesting there they look to track its way further north which as we go through the next couple days and eventually clipping away to the northeast of north korea pushing up towards the far north eastern side of china actually on the satellite picture exactly what is going on we've got the system just to the south of q shoe here this is around about 12 hours ago or so a spare money this is the 3rd strongest storm of the year so far anywhere on earth this comes after the hurricane heralds it comes after cyclon pan peak winds at around $250.00 climb to suppress or it was a super typhoon it has now weakened on please to say so that is helpful it's not even really quickly again that is helpful as well when to the moment around 80 kilometers perhaps actually a tropical storm is no longer a thai food but look at the speed of that 40 kilometers per hour as you same boat speed that's moving really quickly and is going to continue driving its way further

northwards over the next couple of days made landfall a little sam with around $123.00 millimeters of rain that's around well less so we could get around $160.00 millimeters for the entire month of september that was you know we 12 hours thankfully as i said it is moving very quickly as we go through the remainder of today we're going to see that wessel weather driving its way up the eastern side of south korea punching out into the open waters and then pushing up towards the far north east of north korea and eventually it'll slide its way up towards the far north east of china as we go on in tomorrow just notice behind the skies clear places so we are going to see things quietly down quite nicely as we go through choose day and then on for the rest of the week it's going to be very much a case of sunshine and showers but there will still be further showers adding to the flooding problems thank you so much for that evernham of course keep a close eye on. storm and bring in all the latest here on al-jazeera let's head to bella rules now where security forces have detained dozens of protesters at
