debate this self defeated and closing in the us or in the u. k, because it will just come back again when no topic is off the table. what we wanted to talk about where the man was white, man, touching aloud your dream, where a global audience become a global community, jumping to the comment section. and part of today's discussion, there are like kinetic efforts to silence bell opinions on the online based on al jazeera ah, malaysia thoughts a 2 week locked down and a bit to hold back a 3rd and current of virus cases. and peruse official code of 900 death to move and double the country admit it has been under reporting fatalities. ah. hello

them laura kyle. this is alex, is there a life from dough also coming up? opponents of israel's prime minister hold talks to replace him, but admit they are facing obstacles. shoreline, because was the ecological disaster. criminal investigators question. the crew of a congo ship has been burning for 12 days in many southeast asian nations that was seen as current of our success stories and now being forced to impose new restrictions as infection. 3rd, to record levels and malaysia a 2 week nationwide. total lockdown of come into effect. only 17 essential service sectors are allowed to operate. malaysia has recorded between 6 to 9000 new daily cases for 2 straight weeks. vietnam, meanwhile, has suspended international flights into hanover and hey, jim,

in setting all 9000000 people in her, cham, and will be tested after several. heidi transmissible variance were discovered that thailand has delayed plans to ease restrictions in its capital, bangkok. and there's also been a rise in cases in southern china, one neighborhood. and one joe has been put under locked down in a number of flights have been cancelled on. let's get more of this and cross live down to florence louis. she's study by france in kuala lumpur and probably tell us what the situation is like. there were malaysia, the country ground to an almost holt. while the government hasn't, hasn't children locked down? because it says it's necessary to prevent the collapse of health care system that's already under very severe strain. so this shows a lot of the manufacturing and service that can central law to operate and capacity . and even then you need a letter from the relevant ministry to show you come under one of the sectors. my colleagues and i have just received the education sector school,

the university shot and only 2 person per household are allowed to buy essential items within the pendulum missouri radiates from their home. demolition managed to keep current of our cases quite low, much of last year until a local election in september. and it's gotten much, was this year last week it reported rack or daily high for 5 strength days and it's highest were 9000 pages on saturday. now, there are several reasons behind the health officials say it's because the, the more infection strange of the virus around. and it also has been made was by people with more and make restriction and attendance gathering during the movement e festival in mid may. and of course, it doesn't help that. this is a country that has a family know vaccination rate, only about 6 percent of the population is fully vaccination. and of course, that thing is a similar situation across asia, in many countries all now baffling. the surgeon, when they did so well,

it containing the virus in the beginning. that's right. and what, what these countries have in common is that they also have family lomax nation rate from asia as a whole. the number of people who've been vaccinated is about 6 percent. that lies singapore is one and the nation about 35 percent of the population. so the vaccination is one of the reasons for the rising number of cases, but there are also other factors. vietnam says it's detected a new strain of the corona virus. this is a very and that combines the indian and you gave variance and it spreads quickie bye. and it's a lot more contagious that the health minister on that now and then there will go, i think a sense of urgency is, can, can be to blame no time. one, for example, the island managed curnow. i was really well last year and the early part of this year and so much show that people get and to be a lot more relaxed. testing wasn't as extensive and quarantine requirements were

also easy. for example of non vaccinated pilots initially has quarantine for 14 days for quantity for 5 days, and then this would further reduce to 3 days. and then singapore was also f. what comings and goings that lead to a cluster agent have been dealing with this by tightening restrictions with don't think to see some results from some country, singapore, which impose the lockdown last month. that cases are coming down that it hope ease restrictions in another 2 weeks and asian countries also wrapping up that campaign . vietnam, it's not that a special fund and malaysia says it expects most likely to begin this month. i'm sorry, bringing the latest that from carla will. thanks very much. florence peruse government has more than doubled its official current virus death told to 180000 a change in criteria means probable cases are also being counted and not just those who died off the testing positive. it means the country now has the world's highest

death rate per capita or above man. the reports of families taking loved ones to the final resting place is a scene that's become all too common in lima. the cemeteries have been filling up. but until now, normal death 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 288-0000. since the start the pandemic, meaning peru has the highest coping, 19 death rate per capita, of anywhere in the world. garcia drama gave no snow. there. 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 running out of oxygen supplies signs. the situation was far worse than

officially reported. pro 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 code 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 gains. you're going to under. so these numbers in order taking some short term went from politics. you're going to look at the long term mother. nature is not political. she has her own agenda. if you do this to lied about the numbers mother nature of all right, we will see that unfortunate cemeteries and the fact that we see throughout the world it's not high that despite the revised 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, bye man, the out was era. however, the gate, according to the government plan, england's lockdown will effectively be over in 3 weeks time. but that has some health officials worried as the very 1st day in india is spreading in several parts of the u. k. now, leading to cause to slow down the easing of restrictions as me parker reports from london you case basking in a long overdue heat wave. daring people to believe the pandemic. nearly over on june. the 21st. the government plans to scrap all cove and restrictions in england

ready 1st summer to remember with the frustration going down and quite soon i think it should be not, no malice becoming quite, quite quickly. definitely that mood has changed in the last few weeks. and i think everybody is desperate for a bit of a break. but scientists are increasingly nervous, according to the latest data of the countries in the early stages of a 3rd wave of infections with right growing fastness amongst 10 to 14 year olds. this may hear that they're in the public health crisis now and right now, cases, i'm hospitalizations that increasing with rapid spread with the more transmissible variant. while only about 38 percent of our population is fully vaccinated and we need to really cope that early on. so that we don't end up in the same situation. we work several times so far we've acted late, which is led to sort of locked down that have been very longed on sunday that you can record it 3000. you can write, if i was cases for the 5th day in a row, the highest figure is the start of april,

the so called indian very forward to be much more virulent than other variance is now dominance in several parts of the country. if the last 12 months of tort as anything is the waves can start small and quickly grow. even with the country successful vaccination program cases a doubling every week, providing opportunities for even more potentially harmful mutations. the governments now racing to get as many people as possible vaccinated with 15000 jobs administered at this bug b stadium. on monday alone, the government says that could be no room for complacency, but as yet there were no plans to delay next month on locking heat wave or 3rd wave . a return to normality feels tantalizingly close to close for any last minute mistakes. they've barker al jazeera london as well off position lead us as many obstacles remain before

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 sort of had hair on out there. i'm trying to make a major policy shift because it thinks the tackle of problems of an aging

a shot and the government in peru is more than doubled. its official train of ours death told him over 880000 officials, they're met, the number of fatalities have been under reported fronting them to change the criteria for october 19 related death. and israel's opposition lead us has many obstacles remain before a coalition. government can be formed yellow pages and talks with ultra nationalists, that's tony bennett to replace benjamin netanyahu. deadline to secure a deal is wednesday. the number of potential presidential candidates hoping to run in nicaragua was election as quickly being whistled down. the united nations warned that a new electoral law undermines the prospects of a free and 5 ballad last in america as salisia newman explains. was presidential elections just 5 months off opponents of niggers was president, daniel lord pay that and his wife received your moody deal. the vice president are

dropping like flies. wow. recent weeks to opposition parties were dissolved and 2 candidates put under house arrest and renew electoral reform measure that the un high commissioner for human rights says will impede fair and pre election. now can you stay on the chair more or the most competitive opposition candidate is being accused of money laundering and other crimes that would make her ineligible to run to the doctor a former president lead such a moral who beat ortega in elections back in 1990. look at that. this is not about attacking me. it's about attacking the rise of the correct you and to a fair free and transparent election. they want to eliminate all of us to frighten us all so we won't participate. leaving the general prosecutor's office to motor said her lawyers were also being threatened. nicaragua was pro government

people returned to the straits as talks between the government and protest organizes resumed. the military on top to at least 13 people were killed in demonstrations on friday. and nationwide rallies began in response to tax reforms. they've since been drops. that protested, have expanded the list of demand to include a basic income and an end to police violence. tucker, spies have capture the nephew of a man. turkey accuses of august rating of failed, coo and 2016 fella, dean glenn as wanted for being a member of his uncle for ton of lands movement, which anchor regarded as a terrorist group that turkish religious leda and lives in the united states and location where fella had dean was captured, was not disclosed, but believed he was living in kenya, trail and can authorities have begun a criminal investigation into a cargo ship fire responsible for one of the countries west ecological disasters

firefighters baffling the blades for a 12 day. the vessel was carrying large amounts of nitric acid, a micro plastic to make plastic bags. much of that is spilled overboard, causing widespread highly toxic damage. so the beach and see life governments band fishing with an 80 kilometers of the site. and the nelson unders joins us live from just outside colombo, at the sight of the disaster in mental the scale of this disaster is absolutely huge. isn't it? tell us what you're seeing on the beach. that's right. i mean, what, what you see is these truly mind boggling. i mean, just over my shoulder, you can see the actual smouldering ship just it's about. 1 9 and a half killer nautical miles of 18 kilometers off this beach, the smoldering ship of the reaper, which has been burning for the last, centrally 12 days. now what you see right in front in the foreground,

are members of the lanka, navy, essentially personnel who have been cleaning up these beaches. what you see is sort of baskets that they have essentially dredging, all of this micro plastics. it's littering the beach. what you can see, obviously the beach has almost turned white and black. it is full of these drastic pellets, these micro plastic pellets which are mixed with suit and shod, remains essentially of the wreckage. if i just move a little further up, you can see signs of essentially the impact on marine life just within the last. are these dead fish being salvaged by the clean up crew here? and this is what the environmentalists are warning of the huge damage that this disaster is reeking on the environment. i mean, drive through, if you look,

i mean, this scene continues along this beach essentially where you see hundreds and hundreds of person, essentially filling all of these bags were told by the local, sort of authorities here that in the last couple of days, every single day they have basically bagged up more than 100 tons of this debris and plastics. and obviously this begs the question of what the long term impact is going to be. because when seeing these little pellets that have essentially daughter the course line, that is more than almost a 2 kilometers in length. so this is one of the biggest concerns for sure long in what's being described as it was. it's a logical disaster. manella, you give us a very good idea of how widespread the scale of disaster is as the expert giving

you an indication to how long this cleanup effort is going to take and the long term impact on that frontal environment. to be honest, laura, no one would even has a guess. i mean, like i said, when you get down to sort of ground 0, this is one of the beaches where because of the tides, the expert tell us that lots of this debris is being wash onto one of these beaches here just outside colombo. but in terms of trying to decide this is 12 days since we saw that massive fire. and if you look, if you go down essentially to where the surf is hitting up, i mean that is full of plastic pellets. this is how these cleaning crews. i mean, keep bringing boss got off to boss, good to live with these with these pallets. so the environmental is con. quantify how long it will take because even a couple of days ago, fishermen,

obviously fishing is not allowed in this stretch. but fishermen were allowed to go retrieve nets. they had gone and put out before the disaster. they brought back nets which were laden with blasting, and environmentalists. keep warning that there is no way of quantifying the damage and how long it will take for sure lanka, essentially to clock back to get over this massive and mamma disaster. very tragic sight. indeed. as a mental for the moment, thanks very much for joining us. that from the beach is just felt like colombo now, you as president joe biden has urged americans to effect on what he calls the country deep roots of racial tera on the $100.00 anniversary of the tulsa race massacre. the ceremonies to remember the victims of being held in the city in the state of oklahoma. in 1921 white wines has destroyed the tulsa district

of greenwood. hundreds were killed and thousands left homeless. russia says it sending more troops to the country of western border to bolster defense against data forces. moscow says it's in response to increase border activity from the u. s . and its nato allies. but the us and russia has suggested there'll be some difficult conversations when the country's leaders meet on the 16th of june. and fisher is at the white house, june the 16th and geneva is going to be a big day for joe biden. and his 1st term as us president, and he goes there perhaps with relations between the united states and russia at the lowest point. perhaps even since reagan, you go back to george w bush. he said he looked into the soul of last year and obviously felt someone he could do business with barack obama said that he was going to hit the reset button with russia. donald trump didn't see russia as a huge adversity, but just over the last few months, we've seen the russians being blame for

a massive cyber attack in the united states at the end of donald trump's presidency . we're seeing the build up of trips in ukraine, which the u. s. has been critical about we've had to joe biden, when he was us. do you think vladimir putin is a killer? he didn't disagree essentially, nodding his head. and so now the 2 sides are going to meet with the russian saying, look, we're not going to be there just for the americans to make holistic a point. the americans, me raise the case of the opposition leader in the valley and the way that he has been treated. but in reply 3011 of the rush can foreign minister. he said he's going to raise the question of those who have been charged with offences after the january 6th riot, and capitol hill. so you perhaps wondering how can those to be the same? well, as far as setting lovegrove is concerned, it's all about limiting the voice of the opposition chinese government is relaxing . family planning restrictions to allow couples to have up to 3 children. existing

limit is true, that has been a decline in birth and the world's most populous country. katrina, you reports from beijing. as thousands of children participate and 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 could hom, china's economic growth, be what it india. this will lead to the chinese economy losing its vitality. there is an aging problem with threat has not only china's economy, but his defense and foreign policy. previously, the chinese government predict the economy would be double in 2035 compare with

2020. but that will be mission impossible. now. they ging ended it's decades long. one child policy in 2016, raising the child limit to the dis, 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 ridicule, the governments dramatic policy turnaround. from the 1900 eighty's until 2016 millions of women were subject to fines and even forced abortion and sterilization of having one child in 2014 liberty film directed john, you know, was find more than one $1000000.00 for having 3 children. though these penalties no longer apply, china's rising cost of living remains a barrier to families. many are unable to afford having more than one child. increasingly educated women are also putting off or foregoing having children

together, largely because of workplace discrimination. if the state really wants the birth rate, the crude, straight 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 paging. ah. so without you, there are, these are top stories. a 2 week nationwide. lockdown has come into effect in malaysia as it struggles with a surgeon current of virus infections. and he's 17 essential service sectors are allowed to operate and all shopping malls. a shots for employee has more from column for the government says this is necessary to prevent collapse of health care

system as already under the very severe strain. so in this total lockdown only manufacturing and satisfactory are allowed to operate.
