the sofa and i work at good the happened. after the. november 9th on do you w. this is d w news asia coming up that you and would like malaria eradicated in southeast asia by 2030 but is that more aspirational than actual. and the growing climate consciousness in many muslim countries is leading to what some call the cult islam. plus the super seen years of japan never give up what you

love doing please visit this 10000 strong. i'm melissa chan you're watching the news asia thank you for joining us we take a look at southeast asia and its fight against diseases such as malaria and dengue fever along with its efforts to be polio free consider the mosquito it's probably the deadliest animal for humans not the tiger or shark 1600000000 people in the region are at risk and the w.h.o. says there were 1240000 cases of malaria in 2017 the latest figures but new drug resistant versions have emerged in cambodia laos thailand and vietnam southeast asia has also been hit with a dengue fever outbreak this year this is. the teens saw the biggest spike

360000 cases but neighboring countries have felt the impact now the region has largely been polio free the last 5 years but not anymore for the 1st time in 1000 years the philippines confirmed a case and me and mark had bad news as well for more d.w. had the chance to speak to myanmar as health minister mitt twee he was in berlin this week for the world health summit and i started out by asking him about the work to eradicate polio in his country and recent me in may 22nd repeated. infection forever says the poor child in one of the streets with his parents drink you know when you meet me we're going to clear 3 countries who. work for my country you know and we immediately take it because our surveyed in system is very good. immediately report to us and we examine this and it is. fiction derived polio virus
