worlds to most populous countries. china capital b jane has registered it's fast case of the micron variant. ahead of the upcoming winter olympics, with a 0 covert strategy in place. how do authorities plan to control infections in the city? plus, india has begun to boost of vaccinations to fight increasing cases of the only kron baby. and we look at how that effort is going and coming up later in the program. ordinary people across asia dare to be different. beginning with the buddhist monks and thailand who are finding a new audience streaming on social media. but some don't like the approach and drawing lines in the sand. the hong kong office who uses the local beach as a giant canvas. ah

irish remedy. welcome to the dublin news. a shared ledger could join us, the chinese capital b ging reported its fast case of the only kron variant over the weekend. or thought or to see the infected individual hadn't traveled out of the city. it's a significant development for b ging, which is set to force the winter olympics in less than 4 weeks. china has adopted a 0 corporate strategy to ensure the games fos, off without offend demik health care. the policy has seen millions of chinese citizens across the country, being tested daily and a mixture of rock towns and travel restrictions. the latest case in beijing has prompted authorities to tighten the rules yet further. so how confident is the city of keeping cove it'd be, here's correspondent, far beyond crit, my, i would say still relatively confident. and he and paging even on the weekend when the 1st a case was detected and all the bought boss are still open to pops or even the

night clubs and we're open am and the only noticeable changes actually at the testing that the cues in front of the testing stations are much longer, however, so far all the tests came back negative and and yet what debating did is say increase the travel restrictions. so for example now and you dont only have to do a negative test before you enter the city. but also after arriving, you have to do one more test, it has to be negative, otherwise you are required to do a current tenant isolation. and also am actually the arrested are, are required not to order males from outside delivery from outside because the authority said that they could pull out that the army crankcase arrived from the city through a partial delivery from canada. however, there's no real significant scientific evidence for that. what is also wadding authorities in virginia is a large cluster of covered cases in the city of 10 gin, just a 150 kilometers away. nearly 300 cases have been reported here and the local government

has carried out at least 3 rounds of mass testing on it's 14000000 residents so far . and here now are some other developments in the pandemic across the region. japan's government is looking at imposing a quasi state of emergency on the capital talk here within the week to hold a sharp rise in cases with its new policy. novak's no ride public transport in the philippines. capital in manila is now off limits for any one who isn't fully vaccinated. and ne paul has begun giving booster shots. it comes a day off for the largest 24 hour increase in new cases. in more than 6 months. and the piles neighbor, india began giving booster shots to its elderly population and frontline medical staff a week back. and before that, vaccinations were opened to teenagers between 15 and 18 years old. the government is hoping to steve off a recent increase in covert infections driven primarily by the army kron variant.

the good news on that front has been that the past 2 days have actually seen a drop in total covered cases in the capital delhi and financial hub. mom buy. it comes as india marx one year since it began, it's covered 90 vaccination drive. a drive in which nearly 70 percent of adults have received bought shots for vaccine. the challenge now is to not only increase that number but also cover as many indians as possible. finally, if they're done, india is now vaccinating children older than 15 years as well. even though schools at north, once again as it could be. so just through the banshee, these 10th graders hope this will mean differences on the way that he just managers are unable to mentor students as well in online classes. and the student is gone. concentrate either vaccine is once we are all vaccinated, we can return to the dross room and do better in our studies for loving. i'm happy

to get the vaccine offices, not schools will do your penny, and i'll be able to see my friend must have been learning in the classroom was much better than it is online. it's a good thing that schools are closed right now to prevent the spread of the corona virus, but they need to reopen now that we are vaccinated. we have examinations coming up and it isn't just teenagers who are excited. healthcare and frontline workers are eligible for the thought doors as well. india is calling these precaution noses. the vaccine has been crucial for r b and not just because she's giving shots herself. when the pandemic 1st struck art the center door, no, a 1000 kilometers away to live with his grandparents in the state of be hard to keep him safe while she continued to walk in the hospital at the bottom. and it's only after i got a lot of shots that i called my son back, a holier i lived away from him. i only saw him on video calls. it was

a huge challenge for me. now with her doors, you know, i feel safer against or mac runners with me that are questions around the efficacy of india has moved to programming. most adults and india have received the astrazeneca vaccine. and the government requires them to get the same kind for that could. but studies have found that mixing and matching works better for boosters and that astrazeneca is amongst the least effective as opposed short and importing are the whack themes is not the only be out. x with the india is feeling to utilize it will have nothing to explain why i really don't think we should. she has the pfizer and what are no actions. they're very expensive compared to the actions that are available to us. but in dallas not using dyslexia, which is locally produced in its boosting program, so it does not make any sense to me. for now, however, some protection is better than none. this 60 plus capital is happy be eligible for

boosters and hopes to soon get the whole family jabbed. what 2 grand kids and i work for them, and i would like them to you will be able to be back to me to them. it is dc. what kept them out of the hospital last year and most likely, their best shot to keep it that way. ah, to buddhist monks in thailand have become social media styles with facebook live streams that combine traditional teachings with non traditional jokes and giggles. some of the countries religious conservatives, however, are not so amused, along at home era of social media, even months of finding themselves adjusting to the new digital landscape. every friday trauma hall, pie one brother, one know and probably has some point color put to deliver their mix of buddhist and

modern life teachings. my a life stream with a dose of humour, some consider unsuitable for months to have shot a theme in thailand. when i met him and me, if i didn't, we have to make it fabulous. awesome, and amazing. so did you want to keep watching and listening and teaching every other religion or good things? it would be a shame of these teachings are ignored because people turn their backs on them because they're boring. that method by they see young people often find a teachings, also called darma, outdated, and assessable. although buddhism is a pillar of ty, decide he, the rule of the religion has lastly become ceremonial than the pandemic stroke. sending people online for practically everything in life, including enlightenment. amongst phoebe was the success. each of their shows no

attracts up to 2000000 views a time washing their lives. i will see adding some positive feeling, you know, at least a little bit of positivity in my day of the month. prominence on social media isn't very welcomed by more conservative. buddhists, they want to to tone down what they see as inappropriate behavior. what by the, by monk's behavior, has to be respectable in the public eye. it does not have to change with the times to appear as young people decor on my call. that would lead to the decline of buddhism, which has already existed for nearly 2600 years without the need to change. i mean your money among say it's not the teaching that outreach here. can i for laughter, time or what? i may not dharma supposed to only stay with the older generation, they will eventually die without reaching out to the young. what will be the place of religion in the future? religion will be abandoned, and i don't want that to happen back english. fucking the mommy. i'm and been in

they've already seen progress as more and more young people attracted to enter the temple once again. not all artists want to see their work hang in galleries and be preserved forever. our next story takes us to hong kong, where one man has spent the past decade greeting, huge drawings on the beaches, only to have them wash away. it's more than just an artistic statement. it's also a message in the sands to protect hong kong natural beauty. oh, instead of a beach, he sees a blank canvas with just a wooden pole and a garden break. derrick young convert these close to the giant work the big from here i have use of the landscape like the rocky beaches and streams. a lot of high points,

so my drawings to match the patents i've seen on ah, derrick young creates, he's works of art hard on the shoreline, all allowing them to be washed away by the incoming, see a race against time and tide. i see all the way. i always photograph my drawings. it will capture with a drawing since the more accessible now and when the tide washes my drawings away. is that a pity homeless? i don't think so. it's part of nature. high tide and low tide to roll, part of nature. derrick young has been hurting his craft for 10 years. over that decade,

he's learned to love hong kong natural beauty. and unlike his drawings, he doesn't want to disappear. and so i thought they're going to come in on kong nature parts will become less and less with further developments or something like that would change. places like completely died with residential buildings and pollution. there won't be as nice for people to come. he dare hewn drawing lines in the sand for his art and for home comes environment i and that's it for today is our brothers mourn our website, the w dot com forward slash asia. you can follow us on facebook and twitter as well, with you tomorrow for
