action and part of those discussions, there are like domestic efforts to silence palestinians on the online face on al jazeera. ah, malaysia started strict locked down in a bid to hold back a surge and craven cases. ah . hello there on the soviet, hey, this is out of their life from door ha, also coming up, peruse, official code, 1900 desktop, move and doubles. the country admits it has been under counting fatalities. china allows couples to have 3 children as the country seeks to tackle the problems of an aging population. and a big shock at the french open was number 2 and i am you talk a withdrawal from the tournament in order to protect mental health.

ah, now many southeast asian nations, it was seen as koran of our success stories and now being forced to impose new restrictions as infections and sad to record levels on malaysia a 2 week nationwide total lockdown has come into effect. only 17 essential service sectors will be allowed to operate. malaysia has been recording 6 to 9000 new danny cases for 2 straight weeks. vietnam has suspended international fights into hanoi and her human city. all 9000000 people living in the biggest city will be tested after several highly transmissible variance were discovered. meanwhile, thailand has delayed plans to ease restrictions in the capital, bangkok movie will say been arise in cases in southern china and neighbourhood and gloves, or has been placed under lockdown and a number of flights were cancelled on for more. let's now cross live to florence

louis in kuala lumpur, florence, malaysia's taking some fatty, drastic action here. can you tell us what the total look down is going to look like? that's right. well, the government says this is necessary to prevent a collapse of health care system that's already under a very severe strain. now. so in this chose a lockdown only manufacturing instead of sectors are allowed to operate, but at would use to capacity. and even then you need a letter from the relevant ministry to show you coming to want to be a lot sectors. and my colleagues and i have been waiting for hours before we can head into the bureau. now schools and universities also shut. i don't need to, person for household are allowed to go out to buy essential items and within a 10 kilometer radius from the whole nation. manage to keep corona virus cases quite low, much of last year until a local election in september. and since then, it's gotten much what last week it reported records daily cases, $45.00 consecutive days. tires record was more than 9000 cases on saturday. the

latest flight television, say, it's not me because of the more infectious variance of the current of virus. but it's also been made was by gather means during the muslim eat festival celebration in mid may. and of course, it doesn't help that the vaccination rate in malaysia is quite most, only about 6 percent of the population is to the vaccinate. as far as it did feel like se asia really was on top of things that it had gotten ahead of the pandemic somehow. but what's happened now? that's right. i mean asia as a whole, really within as much of a success story. i mean, east asia, the there's a couple of exception philippines and indonesia. but i think a lot of government's got a little bit more complex than it's behind in vaccination rates. the number of people in asia, on average, who's been fully vaccinated, it's about 6 percent. the outliers, singapore, for example,

as fascinated about 35 percent of its population. the fact that is the low fascination rate that's causing the mines in cases, but there are other factors. for example, in vietnam, health officials that vietnam has detected a new chrome virus barrier, that is a combination of the indian and u. k. and this makes it a lot more inspection read more quickly by ed. this is what the health minister said on the day. now in taiwan, it was a sense of complacency because the island had managed corona virus. so while much of last year and the 1st quarter, people started to get a little bit more complacent. the rules will relax. for example, when non vaccinated airline pilots, the quarantine period was reduced from 14 days to 5 days and then eventually to 3 days and the club to happen and in singapore. similarly, it was airport cummings and growing but lead to a cluster. so the way asian governments have dealt with a rise in cases is by tightening restriction. and we're starting the results from that singapore. as an example,

the prime minister said on monday that hopefully this lockdown was also posted up, down will end in 2 weeks. and countries also ramping up the vaccination campaign. vietnam has not the special fund to procure vaccines and malaysia that multiplies are expected to translate that with all the nations for us from calling for. thanks so much fun while. meanwhile, the government in peru has more than doubled its official current of virus. death told him more than a $180000.00, and change in criteria means that probable cases and also being counted not just so if you've tested positive and means the country now has the world's highest death rate per capita, nor a burden. many reports of families taking loved ones to the final resting place. it's a scene that's become all too common in lima. the cemetery i've been filling up, but until now those are deaths due to cov 19, are included in the official figures that the blames on

a lack of testing done. now the government has revised these figures. the death toll has more than double 280000. since the start of the pandemic, meaning peru has the highest copays 19 death rate per capita, of anywhere in the world. garcia drama gave no read. we consider our duty to publish this updated information. not only as part of our commitment with accountability, but also to fulfill our responsibilities as a state. an already undefended health care system has become overwhelmed. many hospitals are running out of oxygen supplies. find the situation was far worse than officially reported. girl has only tested about one 3rd of proportionately of its population. so when you do not have access to testing, you shouldn't just be counting people who have tested positive and who eventually died of cove it because of course, a great number of people won't be being counted in those figures. other experts say

politics is taking a part in under reporting numbers to make short term gane's going to under. so these numbers in order taking some short term went from politics. miller's that the long term mother nature is not political. she has her own agenda. if you do this to write about the numbers mother nature, all right, we will see that unfortunate cemeteries and the fact that we see throughout the world not high that despite the resides mortality figures, the government says it's not planning to speed up its vaccination program. you're going to be out there shouldn't be a need to change for other policies, including vaccination, or any other in terms of decisions with peru, experiencing its deadliest period since of stars, the pandemic. even the cemeteries are becoming overwhelmed. many now running out of space to bury the dead. laura berman the al serra on

brazil continues to have the west, kevin 1900 decimal across latin america. on monday, another 860 fatalities were recorded, but one city is bucking the trend. the south eastern city of the hannah has achieved a 95 percent drop in death when nearly all adults are not collected. and many say that experiment office hope to the rest of the country. monarchy reports now from rio de janeiro. until recently, the small city of the 100 in the southeastern state of the bower was no different to the rest of brazil. if colby 19 infection spreading at alarming rate, hospitals on the brink of collapse, not in effect, seen for its population of $45000.00. that changed in february when there hannah was chosen for a pioneer study to discover what would happen if every adult would vaccinated form and later 97 percent of all adults have received 2 doses of the corona vaccine

produced by china and some pounds, some thought institute and hannah has become in the way of health in a country with the world's 2nd largest cold in 1900. death told the results of the experiment were now stun monday on the ceo. his day one is our cell. this unprecedented study shows that the number of deaths dropped 95 percent of the number of hospitalizations dropped 86 percent. and the number of people who are infected with the virus and felt symptoms dropped by 80 percent. i think this is good news for brazil and the world basically, since the study shows that inoculating 75 percent of the adult population is enough to control the corona virus. even the more aggressive p one variant which 1st appeared in the brazilian city. now, she think keeping a he says children up to 18 years old were not vaccinated,

but the steady found that they had been in directly protected by the white skill inoculation programs and could return to school safely down a success story is certainly good news, but not a guarantee that the rest of brazil will follow in its footsteps present jade wilson. otto has downplayed the virus from the start and criticize the chinese vaccine. promoted by so follows governor, who is a strong contender in the 2022 presidential election. meanwhile, another city of san paula state is vaccinating all residents between 18 and 60 years old. but the study book up to is being carried out with the astrazeneca vaccines produced by oxford and brazil fuel cruise institute. so it's app really vital for all of us across the world that we have as much data as possible. and the, and the research that is being done in particular to over the next months is going to be really vital for that scientific sharing and increase of knowledge in the

world about how the astrazeneca vaccine operates for many brazilians receiving a vaccine is still a long way off, so far only 10 percent of the population has been fully inoculated. monica, you're not give. i'll just euro re addition, narrow. on moving on to other world news and israel's opposition lead us as many obstacles still remain before coalition government can be formed. he, i repeat, is in talks with ultra national. naphtali bennett, replaced benjamin netanyahu. the p, it's monday to form a government expires on wednesday. netanyahu says an alliance between ideologically different rival will be what he was, the fraud of the century. israel has faced a 2 year political fail. mays after 4 inconclusive elections hurry forth. it has more from western rhythm, civils that have to be various deals assaulted out between the constituent parts of this coalition. and there has been already a pretty public argument between 2 of the parties involved over which one is going

to get the agriculture ministry. so as with these sorts of negotiations in any situation, they are pretty fraught each side, wanting to get what it can ahead of the signing and sealing of the entire deal. he talked about it as the money time, as in this is when people are negotiating. he said that there was still the prospect of getting this done that he wanted to do so as soon as possible before. certainly the wednesday midnight deadline. and he talked again about the prospects of a government that would be quiet that would come to work and do what was necessary for the people of israel, contrasting that with what he called ness and ja, whose behavior saying that he was increasingly unhinged. and with the breaks off, as he tries to prevent this from taking place. we've also heard from get ansari's another right winger who has

a smaller party but which was also very much devoted to the object of getting rid of benjamin netanyahu. he also talked about there being no certainty that this government would come about, but that he was all he and his other colleagues were working as hard as they could to ensure that it did. while meanwhile, israeli forces are continuing what they call operation law and order even as a ceasefire holds long scale. arrests have been taking place all over israel as me reports now from jaffa, most of those detained palestinian is raise. he was on his way to buy some bread, but ended up at the police station, 16 year old, the hammered, subtle, a palestinian israeli. phil doesn't know why. in i'm of the moment he was a, was caught on video. one of them yelled that he ordered me to stop and i did, and they dragged me and started hitting me each time to ask the questions. they wouldn't let me answer. they would just hit me mohammed las fried

a few hours later. his is just one story of many young palestinians living in israel being detained, often randomly in what is called operation law and order. but for the palestinians is more than opperation of intimidation. just a few days ago, police pro rated here jeff, i giving traffic tickets to palestinians. mostly. the point city under suburbs of tel aviv has been on edge ever since protest in support of palestinians, injectors aurora and occupied east jerusalem took place. and in many ways, palestinians here share the same plight. with many families also facing forth expulsion. a madman was sitting at home when a group of people walked in with restructuring plans and cameras. her home was sold by the state to a nearby religious school. while she still lived there, that's not the fan they tell me to get out. they want to kick us out. so my 2 sons were detained because they're defending a home. that's

a crime. her sons are now under house arrest. during the 11th day, guys, i was dentures were very high between the 2 communities. and they were riots in several mix cities across the country. that actually took me by surprise here. since the government has rounded up more than a 1500 people, the vast majority being palestinian. some were released within a few hours days, but very few jewish is really were detained for their role in the writing. yadda aloof was among palestinian protesters when police crackdown. she admits that as a jewish citizen, there is a slim chance. she will be a pretended. i've never seen something like that here in the past weeks. i've been conference streets. i didn't see any jewish person being the thing in the same saunders and then you see people on a bike without the helmet. and the 3rd jewish,

they just go by and if they're for the senior there, the thing for the doubles your header that is a concerted effort aimed at palestinians wherever they are. it's a system that is working in, and it's not a political, it's not nathan, you know, it's nathan, you know, and it's guns and it's wrong. and it's the court system. it's a synchronized system that it's working against. as israel continues, it's wave of arrests in the name of public order these between the 2 communities in places like jaffa will remain precarious. hooked up that i mean al jazeera, jaffa. while still ahead here on al jazeera, nicaragua is opposition ways up whether to compete in the upcoming presidential election after unusual threatened free and fair. on the long journey to justice, 60 years young, white and black, american civil rights activists, you pushed for change despite the threat to their own life. a

you know, we were warning about, look at this over 2 days, 173 millimeters. this is a 2 hour drive south of type pay. and i think on tuesday, type pay could get swiped with anywhere from $15.00 to $30.00 millimeters of rain. air quality will deteriorate in beijing over the days ahead as well. and you know, for india or southwest minds who really intensify. and so on tuesday, we have very heavy rain in store along the western gas. go up a height of 35 sponsored pay cut on airways moving drug code. so digital anti groups in a population call in the middle. what's your reason for being mature? why do you want this territory? i'm reporting from an epicenter of mexico, violence to investigate can an upcoming election change? anything the people living here? the way of getting it join me, john,

home and the full report on out. oh the me. hello again. i'm to solve your pain. dot com. that's remind you about top stories. the salad. a 2 week nationwide turtle lockdown has come into effect the malaysia as it struggles to cope with the recent such and current of virus infections. only 17 essential services sectors are allowed to operate and more on that shot. the government in for room meanwhile, has more than doubled its official current of our festal to more than 180000 health officials. they're admit, the number of fatalities have been under reported prompting them to change the criteria for carbon 1900 related death. and israel's opposition the this as many

obstacles still remain before a coalition government can before they are in the p as in talks with national stuff . totally bennett true pace. benjamin netanyahu, the deadline to secure a deal is wednesday. now china's government is relaxing, family planning restrictions to now allow 3 children per couple. the existing limit was to there has been a decline in birth in the world's most populous country. katrina, you reports from basing as thousands of children participate in passivity across china to celebrate the country's children's day. its leaders announced a policy shift encouraging families to have more of them. chinese couples can now have up to 3 children. it comes just weeks after national center results pointed to the slowest population growth in decades. the workforce is also rapidly shrinking with roughly 20 percent of people. now over the age of 60 and analysts say this
