the 200 people around the world, more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge because no one should have to flee the make up your own line. w need for mines the feet i've been use a show coming up today. vaccinations in the midst of a corona virus surge. dinah begins corona about effects of nations as a 3rd wave of infections threatens despite a lot of control. but is it already too late and does the country have enough vaccines? plus deadly flooding in place for tens of thousands from their homes and 3 days of

rain sent rivers overflowing, turning loading area into makes. and the feel of young women showing how heavy metal can be muslim to the news i british manages. welcome to the to the news asia. glad you could join us. thailand has begun an ambitious vaccination program in the midst of a 3rd wave of nuclear on about us infections. millions of doses of locally produced astrazeneca, an important sign of act vaccines are expected to be given this month. the goal is to vaccinate about 70 percent of the countries more than 66000000 people. by the end of the year. so far, only about 2 percent of the population has received at least one shot of the vaccine. and jeremy, not from bangkok,

is frederick ball from the frederick. and now, month on nation for freedom, frederick was also until recently, based in the region as a journalist, a frederick, the government plans to vaccinate 70 percent of the population by the end of the year. but does it have enough vaccines? well, that's indeed the big question that many people are asking here. there has been some delays in the roller campaign of the backs and weeks. and it seems that there's kind of a bottleneck of extra supply. on the other side, the government seems to adjust it now and on an additional supplies, not only from the local manufacturer as any cast that is producing intolerance, but also from other international companies, like with down up or something. they also talk to johnson johnson. so based on now additional maxims and the goal is still reachable. i would say, but really, the critics have accused the government off a complacency they're saying it should have ordered enough vaccines last year. it's

out of do the critics have a point? i think the government would have audits other actions. it's quite possible that the best and role would have been asked and it's a very difficult issue also here. and you might know that the company that is producing astrazeneca is owned by the king and one very outspoken, politician, opposition, punch doctor. that's and yes, and actually huge with the less metrics the lot. so there is not a real open debate about it. if that's the decision of the government has been right or not, it's very difficult question here. and with that in the background, you also have a situation which only about 2 to 3 percent of the population has actually received one shot of actually and why is this vaccination figure? so law i mean you shouldn't just

tell him. so if you look at other states, you're in the region, you'll see that they also have very, very low grades and look at yet. now, they also haven't vaccinated a lot of people. look at the space here in the region. maybe it is because cobit came here or strikes you too much later than in europe and us talent had. and that make very well under control. we were on the case this year and it was actually aroma other countries. it managed quite well. but this changed in the last weeks and maybe the government also hope that hope it is not a big issue here. but now unfortunately, we have another way which is much stronger than the works before. and that's the risk that this gets out of control. so the issue became much more pressing. yes. and it, it looked a couple of weeks ago. briefly, frederick,

which areas in thailand was tit backup. it's really much attacked and also the surrounding areas of bangkok. so we have here in buck runs 1000 cases, new infections every day. the whole has about 2001 big cluster of the presence here. and so we have a presence here that have around 50 percent of prison. effects are infected, some even more. and this is indeed a huge problem. government fixed for bank. thank you so much for that industry longer, at least 16 people are dead and more than 250000 homeless after heavy rains battered large parts of the country. some 10 of 25 districts in the country have been effected by flooding and mudslides. many people have also been left without power. in this national disaster that has seen troops deployed as rescue personnel

in several areas. one of the roads have been turned into rivers in many parts of south western through lanka. the disaster comes after days of monsoon, rains, and heavy rainfall last month. the result has been devastating for many thousands of people living and my daughter 2 days ago. it has affected people in this entire area, some sort of refuge and relief camp. among the nano box, i got the own forces have been called in for help. handing out food and other essential supplies. the navy has also been rescuing people stranded in remote villages. with a vast areas inundated fountains have been driven from their homes and into

shelters. more than 100000 buildings are without power. more than 800 homes have been destroyed. relief agencies say many sources of drinking water have been contaminated because septic tanks have overflowed into rivers and that a huge, clean up operation will be needed. sure, lincoln is hit by the monsoon, twice a year. it brings rain vital for irrigation and power generation. but it also damages property and cause of loss of life. of course you say the rains all beginning to ease and the water levels appear to be receding. but landslide warnings are still in place in many districts, the in neighboring in this region, years of conflict. her father was and a drug addiction problem. the reasons main addiction treatment hospital alone

registered a 945 percent increase in cases in just a 3 years between 2016 and 20. 19. most of those affected up people in the 17 to 50 years, age group, constant security lock downs, fears of torture, and porch on says of employment seen as the prime drivers of drug addiction. for on a bart is just 20 years old and she is a drug addict. she lives in kashmir and northern india where a border conflict has been smoldering for years when a friend of hers was tortured and murdered right in front of her a few years ago. she was traumatized, he said to submit, if you would know something close by it, you could just leave your mind get out of this being. so i started this all this from cody and maintain all that. and this was the beginning of when i

became thousands of young people in kashmir, just like for on the spiral, begins it taking simple pain relievers, but then increasingly moves into stronger drugs, started taking a high end of drugs going after that the jazz and gotcha. and all, they're all of them and even, i don't know, many of the drugs i just, i wanted to relieve must be the situation in kashmir has been 10th for decades. pakistan, india, and china old fighting over territorial claims. the kashmiris who live here are the ones who suffer any kind of work for a youth initiative. she understands the hopelessness of many which for her also stems from the kashmir conflict. continuously, all schools are posing through the courses, so there is no walk for all students because internet service is not available for them. so that may lead to a stress,

and then that will probably diction there. and now some rehabilitation clinics in the region funded by the government, physicians like dr. was african one to help young people escape their addiction, but their needs overwhelm what his facility can provide. just now i was renovating my patient and he was reporting me that he has last night off his head and they're dirty. they're died in last one year because of that word to us because of other things. and if we lose our young people in the say, definitely it is very painful. the clinic has been advising for ana for a good 2 months. she realized here that her current path could lead to an early death. well, the girl that wanted to do this, that was that want to do that. so i feel as a died i gave a stylist and then this is to me and part that i need medical treatment. i need a counseling,
