cruise capital home surrounding areas have been moved to the toughest level of social distance thinks clubs and churches have being closed and private gatherings are limited, while amendment will get more on that situation from south cray with robert broad fence that's called over to tiny chang in the capital, the tie capital banker and tony, of course 2 week lockdown begins on monday where you are, what is that looking like in reality? well, to be frank, it's not looking very different from the way i was looking last week. there was certainly a little less traffic on the roads this morning, but people were still coming in to the city center here in bangkok. they do seem to be moving around the city. the, the, the government has asked the only people who work in necessary industries like food production or medical services come into the office is everybody else should be working from home. people don't seem to be following that too strictly. they were

being asked, this isn't a rule which is going to be enforced, although there are potentially jail sentences for those people who the government feels are infringing the rules. nonetheless, they don't appear to be any reports of that as yet. moving around between provinces and thailand is also being strictly prohibited and understand that there are now checkpoints in several parts of the cities, stopping people from moving beyond the boundaries of bangkok. nonetheless, within the city itself, there is a certain amount of freedom at 9 o'clock tonight until 4 am in the morning. there will be a curfew imposed. and presumably that will be quite strictly enforced by the authorities . but i think the real concern is here, that the infections and now well, the government estimates they're going to hit 10000 the day we're seeing arise in the daily death toll as well. these measures are supposed to be put in place for

only 2 weeks. i think the, the feeling is here, they could well drank gone. and the real issue for many times is vaccines. there aren't enough vaccines available. many people having the current vaccination slots postpone because that doesn't seem to be enough supply. although there's a certain lack of transparency regarding how much time and actually has. and there's a real concern about the vaccinations they're getting china and has put a lot of emphasis on sign of the chinese produced vaccine, which doesn't appear to be particularly affect to against the delta. very. and indeed, a report coming out over the weekend, saying that more than 800 a medical personnel had become infected with covert despite being double vaccination. but son of i said, that's a real concern for many people in the data is nicole. so that is the view from bangkok and tyler with tiny chang we'll check in with him through the day. that's close over to rob mcbride is also in the region in the south korean capital of soul

. and rob tougher restrictions being imposed not just in the capital, but it's surrounding areas feels ortiz, they're really concerned about what's going on. i think what's alarmed the most of all it has been the speed with which we have seen this 4th wave surge, especially in this part of south korea, the sol metropolitan area and its neighboring province, which is around half that of the people in south korea. and other countries, presidents has been beating local leaders here, promising to get on top of this, saying that these restrictions, the toughest social distancing restrictions available to the government. falling short of an actual lockdown that will be in place for 2 weeks, may be extended. beyond that, part of the problem has been they said delta barriers, but it also the government has admitted that it has been guilty of sending out mixed messages. what's happened is that as we've had the vaccination campaign, rollouts across the country and around

a 3rd of the population have had at least now one jap. the government has been announcing that it will start lifting restrictions that if you've been vaccinated, you'll no longer have to wear a mask in public, for example. now that's all well and good, but a lot of people have taken that has been the signal that we are through this. we are eventually going to get away from this pandemic. so stay at a certain amount. 3 of complacency is crept in, people haven't been carrying out, but don't kind of precautions they normally would do. and the result is that we have seen some quite serious clusters, especially around the sol metropolitan area and clusters which have impacted especially younger people. people in the twenties and thirties, who are largely not yet being vaccinated. so it is a concern to the government also a concern for the public. and we can see that in the numbers of people wanting to get vaccinated from monday, the rollout campaign is now extended to the latest group of population, the 55 to 59 year olds, of which there are several 1000000 in south korea. well,

as soon as midnight came around monday and the website went active, it was absolutely inundated at 180000 people in the early hours of monday morning, all online trying to register for their vaccine. it gives you a sense of the kind of demand to be vaccinated at the moment in south, correct. rob, thanks very much for the update. robert bride force in sole full turkey has entered another state of emergency. 2 weeks had all the olympic games. residents are expected to watch the games from home with bars and restaurants being prevented from serving alcohol. around 2000 infections are being reported. dady the state of emergency, which is the country's 4th independent epic will last until august. the 22nd measure is also being imposed in a can our well cuba has seen its biggest anti government protests in decades, thousands of milestones, the economic crisis grips the nation. government mismanagement her depend, demik, and us sanctions also being blamed. present. miguel dance canal accuses washington

sure fans know that there is no place for racism in the sport, which is why they take sometimes that the knee at the beginning of these matches atom. unfortunately, racism is raised its ugly head again straight up to the final indeed . so and although the tally inside did take, gets in the head of the final and italians are quick to point out the racism and other countries. this country, of course, is not devoid of its own race has passed and in contemporary times, even last night, the reports from piazza popular one of the main viewing centers here in rome. that sometimes when some of the black english players were on the screen, there were chance of monkey call some really horrendous stuff. also italy, which is largely monoculture in relation to some of the other european countries in the u. s. and other countries or this more immigration, always talks about racism, but has real trouble integrating people from other countries, other backgrounds, other races into its own daily life. it's not odd to see some wealthier

neighborhoods. women of color dressed in uniforms of domestic. it's not odd to go to public schools here and see parents talk about the diversity in the proud that their school, but they fight and jostle to make sure their kid gets into a more ethnically italian class. so although this country is trying to show it solidarity on this issue, it shows that many countries across the region in the world really struggle with not just racism on the field racism among fans, but it's really part and integrity. all the societies right now they're struggling to deal with it. as all our data is one of the topics, i'm sure that will be talked about tennessee and across europe in the coming day for the course. if we had something to share about considering they are a country that had very little to smile about being one of the worst victims of the sort of cope it's statistics and deaths across europe. for sure, so that you cannot separate the joy and the revelry going on. here from the
