welcome to. join us indonesia has begun vaccinating its people against covert 19 the world's 4th most populous nation has placed its faith in a vaccine developed by chinese company sino president. became the 1st to receive his. citizens. to vaccinate. to achieve immunity. but trust in the vaccine has been an issue in the majority must the mission of now certify that the vaccine is acceptable.
5:32 pm
to see what people that thought about the government's campaign. i don't want the vaccine i have more faith in traditional medicine but now. i want to be vaccinated it's for our immune systems. maybe it will make indonesian people more resistant to this disease which has become a pandemic. that. will be out of them alive i won't hesitate to be vaccinated but only if the vaccine is proven effective i want it so we can be healthy and not get infected with co that. i hope that the vaccine is provided free of charge. if it isn't free i hope it will at least be affordable for all citizens. by here infections were
5:33 pm
decreasing rapidly many people are tired of staying at home hopefully indonesia will get better soon it's not about them but. as long as the government can't offer any certainty we're still in a grey zone so hopefully the government will provide assurances to the public that whatever. the government isn't prepared because of indonesia's rising population in remote difficult to reach areas the vaccine should be a viable everywhere. in my opinion we're not prepared indonesia's population is enormous around 270000000 people and we've only got around 2000000 doses so far so we're still far from ready to snap up anything it's a good thing that the indonesian government is preparing for most vexing nations. but it will take time because not everyone is aware of it the public should be
5:34 pm
better informed so they are willing to be vaccinated our health is precious. let's bring in dickie bird human he's an epidemiologist at griffith university in queensland australia mr bogeyman do people across this vaccine. it's just a might be a smile a collision you know the. days. of dark and just really are so small fraction of only 3 or so they used scotland really you know the facts in this we said this in are because the room or site has been spread far must then maybe 6 miles i was only of the the under me and you know the worrying the despondently as the recent sitting in front of me this is the 1st time in human history the un if in fact if you east just started before the
5:35 pm
fox in come up that's the writer's time in humans and that's why the influence the i'm anything now. but there have also been questions of of this particular vaccine in terms of its efficacy i mean new york their target as are most from brazil or the rights or the efficacies only a little above 50 percent whereas opposed claimed by indonesia or somewhere on the 65 percent mark is that also contributing to the naysayers the government. doesn't address these 2. of these discrepancies. or are probably at least so it really that influence and more of what these fussin has it and so but because actually there is not problem with the sept the us there isn't a not problem with the efficacy because the mean one requirement is. at least if we caught we on pile of that list is above 50 percent and maybe.
5:36 pm
they 70 percent so how does indonesia plan to go about a vaccination process because here in europe for example older people who are being given priority every comes to vaccination but that is not the case in indonesia. unfortunately as the country who also saw the dealing with these are struggling with fundamentally now we are i mean an easy hour just have now as the days and tools is in effect. one of theirs things because the formula with technology and easy to distribute but there are weaknesses that i don't believe their weakness is because the range of 8 is. 18 to 59 percent and also because the trial in indonesia is this elite
5:37 pm
is our only get that the out in there are very star some basically government can. not extend from the finally start for a minute it is so while they wait the. primaries are they have to choose the strategy they so they do the 1st step of fascination to how to count walk us to protect them around these aides in productive aides but i would strongly. advise the government that they it was there they have thought the farmer over and over that next episode or rather than later dicky put him on indonesian epidemiologist at griffith university thank you so much for talking to us. should. militias king has suspended parliament as part of a state of emergency portably to manage a rise in coronavirus cases in the country activists and opposition lawmakers
5:38 pm
however claim it's an attempt by a weak government to stay in power prime minister we have been yes ian has headed a shaky coalition's instating office last year the state of emergency suspense not just bottom and but also any elections to form a more stable government yes in proposed emergency measures at the same time that are near locked on went into effect across some regions to control the pandemic. malaysia and district movement contro amid a partial lockdown life has been brought to a standstill here as to number of coronavirus cases continues to search and alongside these tough measures a declaration not heard in 50 years. yesterday i met with our king his royal highness to go on to present to his royal highness our ministerial proposal that
5:39 pm
a state of emergency to be proclaimed by the king in accordance with article 155 of our constitution. the move allows the prime minister to suspend parliament and delay general elections until at least august critics say the weakened government simply wants to avoid leadership challenges. this emergency has nothing to do with the pen demick maybe there's another agenda maybe politics that's what i feel this is. others support the government's rationale that the emergency declaration was driven by health concerns and elections will be held once it's safe malaysia is now recording more than $530.00 s. and thousands of new infections every day. for frontline work is the health emergency needs to be brought under control as soon as possible.
5:40 pm
correspondent david greene from kuala lumpur a day of a state of emergency and localized lockdowns to deal with the pandemic are lockdowns insufficient in tackling this health emergency you know if we had had stricter enforcement of the requirements and been in place for months now maybe we won't be in this situation it's hard to say for sure but there has not been super strict requirements in the mass where and i've been to restaurants where i've sometimes even the chef with his mask followers chen if we had had better requirements in terms of spacing between customers and restaurants in terms of acting and force if there had been better and quicker use of contact tracing maybe we would not be in this situation now but it's hard to say for sure but the state of emergency is not only about public health it's also about politics. speaking of politics people are calling it. an attempt by the government to stay on in power isn't. well the current prime minister he says he is basically as of last week
5:41 pm
lost the majority of support in parliament and he's been hanging on. by a thread all along so there were concerns that what we could see is a collapse of the current government parliament being dissolved and then snap elections during a pandemic now we had snap elections in the eastern state of sava last year and what happened is a lot of people from across the country went back to their home state of 5 of the votes they caught cove in 1000 coronavirus and brought it back and it spread across the country so there were real concerns that we had nationwide elections that maybe we could see it on a much bigger scale now so you've got the concern about that you've got a concern about a weak government that's in power right now and having all those collide obviously the minority parties are saying this is just a way for and they try to cling to power other people say look he's got that we've got to do what we have to do to avoid snap elections. and speaking of the state of emergency and its relation to the government covert 19 pandemic what does the
5:42 pm
special powers of the state of emergency gives the government that enable it to control its own brick. i mean basically the government doesn't need the prime minister doesn't need parliament to approve laws he could bring tighter laws in place use the military police potentially if he wanted to try and force stricter lockdown it basically will give them almost unchecked power that's what this gives them and this potentially could last for several months i mean they could rescind it any time they can take it back but in theory right now we're looking at the possibility of seeing the state of emergency perhaps till august briefly the how bad is the good one about the situation in the country. yet when we had a record high number of cases yesterday 3309 deaths total or up to almost off 559 yesterday and the total number of course i have cases past 141000 the situation has gotten dramatically worse in recent weeks but there are concerns that if it
5:43 pm
continues at this pace that the health system would be overloaded and would not be able to handle it they're going to be in kuala lumpur thank you so much and that's a fact of it is of course more than did. even now with the start of indonesia's massive tax addition campaign for banks most of them. it's about billions. word. it's about the foundation of the new world order the silk road. china wants to expand its influence with this trade network. but if there's
5:44 pm
a shortage of morning when for accept money from the new superpower it will become dependent on the connecticut of the sixty's the chinese state has a lot of money at its disposal. and that's how it's expanding and asserting its status and position in the world. china's gateway to europe. starts feb 19th w. imagine walking 11000 kilometers around the coast of the u.k. braving every wind weather and landscape or british photographer quentin lake did just that and we'll see what he has to show for it also coming up. with a big budget series like delhi crime and tundra than major streaming services are
5:45 pm
changing the television landscape in india with the usual. welcome to the show for anyone still mourning the recent loss of great britain from the european union here is a chance to appreciate it far from the politics of westminster in april 2015 quintin lake set out from london to walk the entire coastline of england scotland and wales it did in sections following the coast clockwise and taking pictures as he went and the resulting project the perimeter showcases the true history of his island. the coast close to east born in the south of england is known for its chalk cliffs that rise high above the sea hiking enthusiastic and photographer quinten lake came past here to for his long term project titled the perimeter he walked right around the coast of britain taking photos along the way. my rows were no
5:46 pm
no transport all so that the hoppers i would walk around i wouldn't take any bugs and i mostly slept in a tantrum time self-sufficient for 5 days or time so power for the camera and 5 days of food 5 days of fuel and every 5th day i was trying to put some of charger for. in april 25th day clinton set off from london he started by walking to the thames estuary and then along the british coast clockwise through england wales and scotland. over the course of 5 years the award winning landscape the architecture photographer walked around the island in sections that usually took him $2.00 to $9.00 weeks to complete it was his most elaborate project to date. come rain or shine quintin like had to put up with nature's caprices no matter what season of the year it was.
5:47 pm
surrounded by nature winds and lake was on his own for most of the journey along the coast. injuries as well as the 1st lockdown measures to tackle the corona pandemic meant that clinton was forced to interrupt his journey several times. but the magnificent views made up for the setback. it was the diversity of the british coastal regions that really impressed. quinten. my favorite place him in a way i was probably barmouth bridge because you have this beautiful victorian bridge and in the background you have car interests and the beautiful mountain sitting in england the favorite beer on the lizard in the south coast. and scott on which is my favorite of the 3 countries would be the war part so the odd an american prince here on the west or the not all financial. support his geometric
5:48 pm
abstract photography point and decided to use a square format prince of his photographs can be bought on his website the project has also changed clinton's very own view of britain. britain is definitely 3 countries but even within those 3 countries i see it as a group of 5 people who love and marry their own individual patch and how they see it and overall i see it as a much while the country after a total of around 11000 kilometers and after having walked for $454.00 days clinton like finally got back to be a starting point london st paul's cathedral into london itself to me my family and my friends of it are fantastic i did get to know myself better especially physically and when something whether mattered or it didn't matter so much i learned when i needed to have some human contact but i really learned that that being alone in nature made makes me truly happy to be adventurous quintin
5:49 pm
encountered along his journey round to the coast of britain will now be compiled in a book and prints in his already ready for his next photography journey perhaps this time around the coast of violent. fantastic stuff all over to india now and when it comes to popular culture from that nation of 1300000000 people the tone is dominated visually at least by the formulaic melodramas of bollywood but in recent years streaming services like netflix and amazon prime have made inroads with great t.v. real life dramas that are changing the country's perception of itself. delly crime tells the true story of a brutal rape case as i was about to. kill. and of the women who solved that one up i don't have the details yet but i noticed
5:50 pm
something outright. it's t.v. like india has never seen before. i think he's just doing. this crime is not just here's. the only crime in november delhi crime became the 1st indian series to win best drama at the international emmy awards. this project was led by women it was financed and put together and released by women this crime was so by women this is the courage of those women and all women who not only must endure the violence so many men inflict on them but are then tasked with the problem i know that i should make the most concrete. the nasty side of me in full attacks is the focus of the new amazon series. which is billed as an indian version of house of cards. for the special. political corruption and nepotism are nothing new to
5:51 pm
india showing them like this in a t.v. series it definitely is it. just. since i was a boy is i will be a show that. had been hammered in my skull. the yawning gap between india's rich and poor is the focus of the white tigers on netflix i had a patient of the booker prize winning novel by our robin. i had to buy i drove the car. was a pollutant. if. you need me saying they're going to. limit you. this is an anti slumdog millionaire where virtue is punished and the only way for a poor boy to make it in india is through corruption and violence. breaks free. streaming
5:52 pm
giants are giving indians a new view of themselves and it's not always a pretty picture. there from what i was woken up. for international viewers can see. gripping stuff there and here to tell us more about how these new streaming shows are revelent lucian izing television in india it's got rocks for a welcome once again scott now these are a real departure obviously from something like bollywood both an aesthetic and and content how do these new indian series actually measure up to other international productions like from israel or scandinavia for instance well i think the very best of indian is serious or they can measure up with almost anything in the world really what i find interesting though is that because india has such a long tradition in film and t.v. that's quite different from sort of the western tradition you're seeing some differences in some of some of the shows like netflix i had the 1st big sort of
5:53 pm
streaming hit a couple years ago with the sacred games which is sort of a it's a police crime drama which is a thriller it's also sort of a satire of. political corruption and ethical and economic disparities in india and it's kind of a mix it's. a bit more melodramatic probably than your typical us show and it's that touches a sort of magic realism which you probably wouldn't have in the u.s. show but it's interesting because it's like a lot of these new series out of india the kind of a hybrid between sort of the western way of telling a story and then the indian way ok that's interesting you know why do you think this indian streaming boom is happening now. well i mean it's a quite simple reason money netflix and amazon are just pouring money into the indian market in the attempt to get a hold of the audiences there i mean netflix alone which is only been in india for like 4 years they spent up to a half a $1000000000.00 on an indian content so just throwing money at indian creatives
5:54 pm
ask them to make shows for them and they're giving them a huge amount of creative freedom i mean you mentioned bollywood bawly wouldn't sort of mainstream indian television is quite censored it's quite formulaic typically these shows definitely are going completely new directions and because they're getting so much money a lot of independent filmmakers i mean indian independent cinema has a long tradition of sort of breaking taboos and addressing real social issues but they never had the money and they never had the opportunity to reach such a huge audience so you have a direct like. a mate who is a big name in independent cinema some on india she's just directed a netflix series called bella which is a dystopian drama i mean people are comparing it to the handmaid's tale looks at sort of violence against women and against ethnic minorities in india in the past you'd never see a show like this being made at this scale out of india is quite amazing ok so a lot of really hot button topics here obviously how are indian authorities taking
5:55 pm
this new new wave of shows is there any dangers of censorship in the offing yeah well we'll see i mean up till now because they've been so new the streamers have had sort of free rein to do what they want but there has been a bit of a backlash from sort of a right wing a court is against some of these shows and just in november the indian government said they wanted to put streamers under the same regulations as as t.v. channels whether that will mean censorship or even self-censorship that indium creators will try to be care much more careful so they don't offend the government will have to see but it's not welcoming us on ok well for the time being anyway i'm more realistic and perhaps nuance to. india courtesy of netflix and amazon thanks very much for bringing us that story scott ross perot. and now for a look at what else is making headlines on the culture front this week oscar winning british director danny boyle will direct a t.v. series of out the legendary punk rock band the sex pistols. limited series simply
5:56 pm
called pistol will be based on the 2017 memoir of the band's cofounder and guitarist steve jones. will give his treatment of jones a story and the advent of punk as the moment the british society and culture changed forever. but his photographer mary mccartney eldest daughter. carnie is planning a documentary about the abbey road studios where the beatles and many others recorded a host of legendary albums if these walls could sing will coincide with the studio's 90th anniversary in november and will offer a behind the scenes look at the historic location where mccartney spent much of her early childhood. and german authorities handed over the last of 14 artworks from the girl it formally identified as nazi art. week was transferred to christie's auction house on behalf of the heir of its
