obstacles and a big shock at the french open world. number 2, there me a soccer withdrawals from the tournament fighting mental health many southeast asian nations that was seen as current of our success stories and now being forced to impose new restrictions as infection served to record levels and malaysia a 2 week nationwide. total lockdown has come into effect. only 17 essential service sectors are allowed to operate. laser has recorded between 6 to 9000 new daily cases for 2 straight weeks. vietnam, meanwhile, has suspended international flights into hundreds and 150 all 9000000 people in her . cham and will be tested after several high transmissible variants would discover that thailand has delayed plans to ease restrictions in the capsule. buying cocoa

has also been arise in cases in southern china, one neighborhood, and one joe has been put under locked down a number of flights have been cancelled on for moral if that's close live now to florence louis. she's standing by, 1st in kuala lumpur. so florence, a 2 week knock down as begun the invalid. what does that look like for the country right now, the government says that this lockdown is necessary to prevent the collapse of a health care system that's already under very to be strange. only manufacturing and service sectors are allowed to operate, but reduce capacity. and even then, if you need to go into what you have to have a letter from the relevant ministry to show you come under one of the law sector. my colleagues and i are waiting for a letter before we can head into the bureau at schools and universities also shut and need to present her household are allowed to head out to buy essential items and even then given a 10 kilometer re be on the home now malaysia managed to keep kona virus cases

pretty low for much of last year until that how the local election in september last year. and he's gotten much, was this year last week it reported rent court daily cases for 5 straight days. the tires record with more than 9000 cases on saturday. now the nascent, like health officials say, is partly because of more infection variance of the current a virus. and it's also been made was by gatherings during the most then eat festival celebration in mid may. and of course, it didn't help that the vaccination rate in this country is still quite low. only about 6 percent of the population has been faxing to is this the same situation then in other places in asia? because we all thing a surgeon cases in a number of countries when many of these countries did so well, it containing the virus and the beginning. well, i think that's what a lot of the asian countries have in common. pretty low vaccination rate,

or the number of people in asia on average to been vaccinated is about 6 percent. there's an outlier, singapore, the vaccination, about 35 percent of the population is low vaccination, make it meet a factor behind the search in cases that also others that according to rise in cases, vietnam says it detected a new corona virus, baby, and that is a combination of the u. k. and indian variance and help and it's just something that this variance is a lot more infectious and it spreads quickly by then we have taiwan where it's contained the virus very well, much of last year and the 1st quarter of this year. and i think there was a sense of complacency that people got into for example, they relax its quarantine requirements, non vaccinate the airline pilots, who initially had to be quarantined for 14 days has a warranty period reduced to 5 days. and then eventually we gain in singapore. similarly, it was at what coming in going that lead to

a cluster to asian governments away the else with it is by tightening restriction. and we're starting to see results from that. in some countries, singapore, which host them up down last month. the prime minister now says that it's all things, so it's land, the thing patient come down now they hope they are able to going to not eating restrictions in 2 weeks. and the cause asian countries are now wrapping up the vaccination campaign, yet none of the special fun to procure vaccination. and malaysia says it's got more supplies coming in this month. okay, so we bring the view from asia from that and quote number thanks very much florence or peruse government has more than doubled its official current virus death toll to 180000. a changing criteria means probable cases are also being counted and not just those who have died off to testing positive. it means that country now has the world's highest death rate per capita, or above,

manly reports. families taking lot ones to the final resting place. it's a scene that's become all too common in lima. the cemeteries have been filling up. but until now, nozzle, deaths due to cope 19, were included in the official figures that seemed blames on a lack of testing done. now the government has revised these figures. the death toll has more than double 218-0000 since the south. the pandemic, meaning peru has a highest covey, 19 death rate per capita, of anywhere in the world. garcia drama gave no, so they 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 underfunded health care system has become overwhelmed. many hospitals running out of oxygen supplies find the situation was far worse than

officially reported. crew 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 cobra. 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 gains. you're going to under. so these numbers in order taking some short term went from politics. you're gonna look at the long term mother. nature is not political. she has her own agenda. if you do this to write about the numbers mother nature of all right. we will see you unfortunate cemeteries and the fact that we see throughout the world it's not high that despite the resides mortality figures, the government says it's not planning to speed up its vaccination program. 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 i've started the pandemic, even the cemeteries are becoming overwhelmed. many now running out of space to bury the dead, laura by the man the l t 0. only a mile on monday, another 860 fatalities were recorded in brazil, but 150 is bucking the trends the south eastern city of serrano achieved a 95 percent drop in depth. once any, all adults were not to native. many say the experiment of us hope to the rest of the country when okay, going to kids reports from we're just narrow. until recently, the small city of santa in the southeastern state of the bower was no different to the rest of brazil. if colby 19 infections 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 hannah was chosen for a pioneer study to discover what would happen if every adult was vaccinated form and slater 97 percent of all adults have received 2 doses of the corona vaccine produced by china compounds don't thought institute. and hannah had become a noises of health in a country with the world's 2nd largest cold in 1900. death told the results of the experiment. we're now stun monday on the ceo. his other day one is our cell. this unprecedented study shows that the number of deaths drop, 95 percent and 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. 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, my now children up to 18 years old, were not vaccinated. but the study found that they had been indirectly protected by the white skill inoculation program and could return to school safely down a success story is certainly good news, but not a guarantee that the rest of refill will follow. and if footstep present, jane bolton, 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 paulo 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 absolutely

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 0 re edition narrow. israel's opposition need us, as many obstacles remain before a coalition. government can be formed yellow pages and talks with ultra nationalists natalie ballot to replace benjamin netanyahu. i p mandate to form a government expires on wednesday. yahoo says alliance between ideologically different rivals will be what he called the fraud of the century. and shall have faith a 2 year political stay late after 4 inconclusive elections. i force it has more

from western to them. 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. one thing 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 told me 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, nathan 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 and other right wing who has a smaller policy, 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 that that he was all, he and his other colleagues were working as hard as they could to ensure that it did. so i had her on out there. i'm trying to make some major policies to tackle the problems of an aging population. and the trailblazers who challenge segregation . we, we visit the journey of americans, freedom riders, 60 years on ah

china's economy, but his defense and foreign policy. previously, the chinese government predicted economy would be double in 2035. compare with 2020, but that will be mission impossible. now. the ging ended its decades long one child policy in 2016, raising the child limit to 2. but this failed to significantly boost the number of children being born. china's birth rate has fallen for the 4th year in a row. 12000000 babies born in 2020 short of government expectations. chinese social media pages are full of comments about the new 3 child limit. many a critical or ridiculed governance dramatic policy turnaround from the 1980 until 2016 millions of women were subject to fines and even forced abortion and sterilization. after having one child in 2014 liberty film directed john remove was fine more than $1000000.00 for having 3 children. though these penalties no longer

apply, china's rising cost of living remains of barrier families. many are unable to afford having more than one child. increasingly educated women are also putting off all foregoing having children together, largely because of workplace discrimination. if the state really wants the birth rate, the crude to increase, it has to produce more welfare. the government will delay the retirement age and offer support to families who have more children, but to avert a living demographic crisis. some say it may be too little, too late. katrina, you all to 0 aging parents and teachers in central nigeria had been speaking about the ordeal after witnessing around 200 students being abducted by an armed group. it happened a new law mac school. and again, in the states of niger, one person was killed and another critically injured parents have been reunited

19 year old new york, or louis dockman, i was shackled, taken from one from the county jail, walking along with other prisoners. and the judge who had sends me so i me and spit, ami the judge. so you began to realize how frightening it was. a muscle preceded by a half dozen highway patrol. watching the 1st group of freedom rides was lavonne brown from jackson, mississippi. at just 16, he was inspired to join the movement, which would later bring some frightening moments. declan came after us one night with the help of the local police, and we saw the escape by jumping off the roof of a building next to us. declare came up the stairs. the front door, well must get killed, learn the freedom riders, treatment by local authority, sparked a national outcry, eventually forcing the federal government to act and inspiring the wider civil rights fight for the rest of the decade of one. and i have been together what all

this stuff forever. zach men and brown became friends, lou and i know each other so well that we could go out and they could tell master rockefeller. both zach men and brown regularly appear together to talk about their experiences to a new generation. one still grappling with issues of systemic racism. everybody wants to know the biggest motion, and i mean it can be as simple as putting your arm around somebody that can be a revolutionary at depending on where you are. even at $79.00. zach min is still helping minorities through his organization scar harbor, which supports disadvantage children in new york. one of the special things about the freedom right is to put together young people, white, african american, male, female throughout america. it was a unique moment where we came together as a country division and i a moment that still resonates 60 years later.

kristen salumi al jazeera new york. when the us present, joe biden has urged americans to reflect on what he called the country. deep roots of racial tera on the 100 anniversary of the tulsa race massacre. the serv i need to remember the victims are being held in the city in the state of oklahoma. and in 1921. white wise is destroyed. this whole district of greenwood hundreds were killed and fowls and left homeless women's tennis world number to name your soccer, has withdrawn from the french open. citing mental health concerns. japanese doll was fined and threatened with expulsion after she refused to talk to media following her 1st round match on sunday and back and says she's been suffering from long bouts of depression. and then her decision is the best for the tournament. the other players and her well being 23 time grand slam champion 3 and william says backwards handling the situation in her own way. i feel for naomi,

i feel like i wish i could give her hug because i know what it's like. like i said, i've been in those positions, we have different personalities and people are different. not everyone is the same . i'm thick, you know, other people are thin and so every one is different in everyone handles things differently. so, you know, you just have to let her handle it the way she wants to in the best way that she thinks she can. we, we show the best and the quickest possible recovery. and we look forward to having now me, you know, tournaments next year. we remain very committed to all athletes well being and to continually improving every aspect of players experience you know, tournament, including with the media of laura nicholas berg in mary spelling. she is

a senior clinical psychologist and mental health lead at the trillion institute of sports and she joins as far as skype from melbourne. thanks very much for making the time to be with us. what do you make of a soft because decision? i mean it's such a big deal, isn't it? withdrawal from a major tournament like this? yeah, but it's, it's difficult for me to comment specifically on naomi's decision, but i think it's a, it's a really important discussion that we're having now around, athletes well being and, and the role that the media plays and obviously, you know, the media is very important in amplifying mental health and, and things that waits experience. but we also need to make sure that athletes feel supported in doing that. she says that the media has questions have forced to create self doubts about herself. so how important is it for athletes to speak to the media during a tournament and not waiting till all of our games are done at the end? because i think what's important is that, that part,

the athletes feel supported in answering questions and doing media. and at the meteor also have access to mental health education which received themselves because the timing is less of an issue, i think, and it's more about, you know, everyone feeling walk that got the information and resources and support available to do the job to the, to the best of their ability, whether that's on the side or the the media side. how common is this feeling of extreme anxiety amongst professional off base? serena williams as saying she self and felt some of the things that handled it in a different way. yes or from the i s went we've done some research and we've actually found that wanting to athletes are experiencing mental health concerns, which is a really large on. but when you think about that, half our population are experiencing some sort of issue and anxiety is certainly high prevalent. so we know that this is really common and it affects what about weights and it's going to impact them all differently as well. so do you think that

maybe a cycle will be got the support of photo athletes in this move? well, i'm not sure. i would certainly hope that we're all supporting each other. you know, as we, as we go through things like these. so i would certainly hope that's the case. and again, you know, the more that we can support people when they do speak up and, and the more that we can educate people around how to do or the more likely we're going to get better outcomes in which in this particular situation. how can actually be better supported than by the media on the one hand, but also the industry on the other at the i yes, we have a mental health referral network. so we actually provide freight and confidential support to athletes to say psychologist psychology psychiatrists dieticians. so i think we need to be making sure that those resources are available and then we also need to be up skilling stopped including the media on how to best manage and ask

questions around mental health. so i think everyone's got a role to play. and if we look at the pressures that athletes a facing, i mean upsets a highly pressurized environment they work within, but also within the last year or so with coded, that training schedules have been disrupted. they haven't been able to perform to the best their abilities. tournaments simply being counsel dates exist, what impacts that have even if we just look at the general community and the impact cargo 19 had on had on us as, as individuals. you know, we can, we can pretty easily jewel comparisons there, you know, athletes and, or different, they're not super human that they just like awesome. and so they've been really struggling as well. you know, the impact of that it's, it's hard to say, and i think what, what we've learned to is that the impact has been incredibly different depending on age, personal circumstances. but we know that it's had significant impact. and it will be really interesting to say, you know, long term how that plays out. mary's berlin,

very interesting indeed to speak to you. thanks very much for taking the time to join us from melbourne. thanks. i'll 1st instructional athletes have begun arriving in tokyo ahead of the staff of the lympics in 7 weeks. miss training and women for softball team. it was the 1st to last vaccination for cove at 19 and were directed to testing straight after arriving. that we can find that hotel and can only leave for practice and will not games take you under a stage for emergency cases continue to rise. majority of japanese people want the games council. ah, so without 0, these are top stories a 2 week nationwide. total lockdown has come into effect in malaysia as it struggles to cope with the recent 3rd and current of virus infections. only 17 essential services factors are allowed to operate knowledge shopping centers. a
