unavoidable decision will look you know you won't be today we decided on a strict lockdown plan for 3 weeks with an option to extend but as of now we've decided that the lockdown will last until the end of the holiday. door prelims lot of health ministry executives and hospital managers have warned us that death rates are forcing the application of immediate measures. a part of the medical staff and the hospitals are overwhelmed. israel has one of the highest per capita infection rates in the world over $1100.00 people have died for days the israelis have been protesting to demand that yahoo stepped down for a legit corruption and for bundling the response to the covert 1000 crisis. after the lockdown announcement on sunday demonstrators blocked roads at israel's ben gurion airport or netanyahu was due to fly to the u.s.

prepared for this in a way the outline of this had been decided last week but they only knew you know how long it's going to be from last night's press conference by prime minister benyamin netanyahu but they had hoped that it will work out differently i mean there's a sense here that for a long time there has been no government's strategy as to how to deal with this crisis and of course it will hit hard of businesses. people who might. be put on temporary leave again and the economy has not really become better since the last lockdown and of course it's also a period now of the high holy days starting with the jewish new year the looked on is supposed to start on friday on the eve of. the jews new year and this is usually a period where people are coming together where families visiting each other have means really able to travel much over the past month all of this together makes it

very difficult time but also because the big question what will happen after the lockdown people this is supposed to last for 3 weeks possibly even longer but then what will happen afterwards that's a big question you know israel was one of the 1st countries in the world to implement strict measures back in march what's behind the new rise in cases. well this has been discussed a lot as well as he said it looked quite fine after the 1st lockdown in may and then the economy was opened up quite quickly and even the prime minister binyamin the to know it's acknowledged it was maybe a bit too fast at the time but there was a lot of concern over the economic fallout but of course then there was the sense that for a long time this coalition government has not been doing enough at least the signs

of the popular kid you know to put in place a real strategy like track and tracing didn't really work they only put in place last week a nighttime curfew so in communities with high infection rates that's the only thing they could have they could agree on but with an infection rate that by the end of last week was 4000 cases daily of new corona infections the government had to decide. to implement a new lockdown in time yes thanks very much for that from jerusalem let's get you up to date now with some of the latest developments in the pandemic the world health organization is reporting a record one day rise in cases around the globe some $308000.00 new cases were reported in the last 24 hours south korea is reporting its lowest amount of daily cases in about a month the country has now begun easing in stuff so what does singles and president trump has held his 1st full indoor rally in months state officials

criticized the nevada event saying it violated state restrictions on crowd size. it's to russia tao where votes are being counted across that country after local elections were held on sunday those elections taking place in russia's $41.00 regions for both regional governors and local assemblies that voters seen as a key test of course for president polls have been overshadowed by last month's near fatal poisoning of the opposition figure alexina boming and his team wanted russians to vote for the candidate with the best chance of defeating hoodlums united russia or. let's get the latest now with yuri shadow joining us from moscow good morning to yuri about these also local elections what are the implications for president putin and his governing united russia party while all in all the ruling party united russia from. seems to remain in power with

a landslide victory the main reason for that is obviously the legal a lawless snice at polling stations according to the independent election but organization. observational that is a sham goal is that a poll that for example an alleged stuffing stuffing means that the folds of ballots was stuffed into the ballot boxes also that was congress installed at many polling stations but that the live broadcast on the internet was interrupted in some regions additionally many election of observe us water portably not admitted to the polling stations in addition to election money palatial independent candidates faced intimidation ahead of the elections most of the people supporting alec say not only and he's so-called smart voting all in all brian but there was obviously a lot of election money palatial that consequently made possible that this likely victory felt like he made putin through ponty united russia can you tell us more about this smart voting procedure that alexina vallie had been supporting as part

of his plan for the opposition's push in these elections. well if the main goal of these so-called smart voting was to push united russia out of the city council in big cities for example in separate in the state in the us a very square the putin party had a majority by the way it was for the last seat alexina while they had visited before he was poisoned so involved his idea was basically that citizens should vote for all possible parties except of course united russia with these parties should get as little votes as possible and that this strategy actually worked in sent in the us of a risk with the biggest city offset bierria serug a boy core the coordinator often of only so local bureau and a candidate from the local no less if there's 2020 coalition created to confront united one indeed the elections to the city council but that ryan seems to be an exception in all other regions you know that russia is obviously going to be the

year yury when we look forward to the duma elections for next year and still a long way to go course a lot can happen until then but are russians satisfied with the governance that president putin has been delivering up to no. well the duma elections next year will come at an extremely opportune time for putin on the one hand the risks of the recently passed unpopular pension reform many citizens still cannot forgive putin for that also russia's economy has suffered from the global oil crisis and to the corona pandemic as a number of unemployed people increased so all of the use for the kremlin in opposition facts do the national election next year more complicated now volleys support this may be smart with their us new smart voting but that the kremlin could be even smarter for example they've already at this time many small so-called spoiler polities these are supposedly opposition parties that was founded and

allowed to vote so that the real opposition has no chance of winning however i think we can look forward to a competition of opposing ideas and tricks that will be offered to next year during the election is still a ways to go until then for now yuri thanks very much for that from moscow and we're looking at some other stories now in staying with news concerning the russian opposition leader alexei no volley the german government says 3 laboratories have independently confirm the kremlin for the collection of all knew was poisoned with another chalk nerve agent specialist laboratories in france and sweden confirmed the initial results from germany berlin says it is renewing its call for russia to explain. your sheet asuka has been elected the new leader of japan's governing liberal democratic party's leadership paves the way for him to become the country's next prime minister this vote comes after shinzo all day last month
