hospice. okay, so it's the same story across the region where you're not only having a search and the number of new cases. you also seeing medical facilities being of a stretch and such as the case in indonesia where recorded its highest number of new cases on monday. it had already put in place restrictions in people's movements on the islands of java and barley, but it's still recorded really high numbers. now, as senior minister said, it is expecting the numbers to start coming down next week. but in vietnam were also seeing a similar story, vietnam with a country that last year had been praised for its efforts in containing the current of virus that recorded its highest number on monday, displayed, haven't put in restrictions on movements last week and extending them to more areas on the monday. now another country that seeing a surgeon kona virus cases is myanmar when medical work as a people i experiencing a shortage of oxygen. although the printer denies this and what's making the situation worse. there is a civil disobedience movements that started in february and opposition to the coo

and a general distrust of the military authorities. meaning more people are reluctant to not only get tested, but are also wary of being taken away to an ice of a cove at 1900 isolation unit because they're worried about whether or not they're going to be able to come back. now what these countries have in common is low vaccination rate. so there's also a real effort real pushed by these countries to boost the vaccination rates. including getting more doses, more supplies of vaccines from different countries, different sources really rolling out mass vaccination campaigns and also addressing vaccine hesitancy. now, the welfare organization says there is no evidence so far. that vaccination people will need a booster shot. it's criticized maxine makers were developing boosters to sell to high income countries while vaccination and other parts of the world. well, those levels do remain low. officials have also want of course chaos. if people are allowed to get extra doses and mix different types of vaccines before clinical

studies are completed. but literally with a limited global supply, it is important to rethink if any country is wandering about increasing and using booster doses. and instead, think of giving that supply or sharing that's nice to countries that have not even reached their health care workers. there's been a dramatic new showdown over voting rights in the united states. more than 50 democrats fled texas in a 2nd revolt against the republican overhaul of election laws. the move denies the state legislature, the minimum numbers to conduct business and vote on the bill. republicans want to impose new identification requirements on mailing balance and ban 24 hour and drive through the voting. the state governor says, democrats, who fled to washington are likely to be arrested when they return. francis find the

a program that processes the images. recognize is what is approaching and sounds the alarm. it mainly distinguishes people in vehicles, which is what concerns us and cross border crime. and the, the, the crime in question is illegal entry from turkey, including crossings by refugees from the banks of the everest river, which separates the 2 countries. 15 of these cameras will monitor the entire 200 kilometer length of the greek turkish border by the end of the year. they can detect people hiding behind trees and bushes, and there, supplemented by radar, unmanned aerial vehicles and graham sensors. surveillance was stepped up after march last year when turkey reneged on an agreement to hold back refugees from the european union. instead, it encouraged them to storm the greek border. but security concerns go back much further. in 2010, 36000 people entered greece illegally across the land border with turkey 26000 of them along the 12 kilometer stretch behind me. 2 years later,

the greek armed forces erected a double chain link fence, 3 meters tall along these 12 kilometers. and after last year's events, that fence was reinforced with the 5 meter tall steel palisade you see behind me. and there may be more sinister methods being used to deter crossings. refugees captured this video on their mobile phones and september 2018. they say it shows greek border guards, depositing them on the turkish side of the river after they attempted to cross into greece. such pushback are illegal under the geneva convention authorities, as opposed to allow refugees to apply for asylum forensic architecture. an independent research team at goldsmith's university in london used 3 d modeling to identify the precise location of this. and other alleged pushback along the evidence and says, there is a set pattern once illegal entrance are arrested in greece. people are then held there for hours upon end until it gets dark when they are loaded on to

military style trucks or vans, again, driven to the banks of the river and loaded onto smaller things until you members agree to share the burden of asylum. greece is obliged to absorb any refugees that come its way and is likely to continue its policy of deterrence. jumps out helpless al jazeera along the evidence river. ah, updating your top stories here on out to 0, south africa. the military has been deployed to contain violent protests that these 45 people have now been killed. the unrest was sparked by the jailing of the former president jacob's humor. but since grown because of economic frustrations. i mean the miller isn't johannesburg. she says the police have been struggling to calm the violence.
