stations are much longer. however, so far all the test came back negative and and yet what abating did a state increase the trevor restrictions? so for example now and you dont only have to do a negative test and 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 and the authority said it, they could pull out that the army crankcase arrived from the city through a partial delivery from canada, however, this known rios significant scientific evidence for it. and what is also wanting 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 guided 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 and posing a quasi state of emergency on the capital. talk here within the week to hold a sharp rise and kisses with its new policy. novak's no ride public transport in the philippines. capital manila is now off limits for anyone who isn't fully vaccinated and name 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. on their pals, 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 stave off a recent increase in covert infections driven primarily by the omicron 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 by it comes as india marks one year since it began. it's covered 90 vaccination drive, a drive in which nearly 70 percent of adults have received bolts shots of a vaccine. the challenge now is to not only increase that number but also cover as many indians as possible. finally, it's, they're done. india is now vaccinating children older than 15 years as well. even though schools are closed once again as it could be. so just through the banshee, these 10th graders hope this will make a difference on the right now just matters are unable to mentor students well in online classes and the students can't concentrate either. vaccine is once we have all vaccinated, we can return to the classroom and do better in our studies for loving. i'm happy to get the vaccine notes as not. schools will be open and i'll be able to see my

friend myself. learning in the classroom is 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're vaccinated. we have examinations coming up and it isn't just teenagers who are excited. healthcare and frontline workers are eligible for the top doors as well. india is calling these precaution noses. the vaccine has been crucial for ivy 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. but on the efficacy of india has moved to program. most adults and india have received the astrazeneca vaccine. and the government requires them to get the same kind for that to do. 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 boasting 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 was rather wonderful, and prom has some point color put to deliver their mix of buddhist and modern life teachings. my a life stream. with a dose of humor,

some consider unsuitable for months to have shot a theme in thailand. when i met him and you 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 tom ahl, outdated and necessity. although buddhism is a pillar of ty, decide he, the rule of the religion has lawfully become ceremonial than the pandemic stroke, sending people online for practically everything in life, including enlightenment, amongst phoebe with the success each of their shows. now attracts up to 2000000 views a time washing their lives. i will be 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 tone down what they see as inappropriate behavior. what by the, by monks behavior has to be respectable in the public eye. it does not have to change with the times to appear as young people day color 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 me and yemen. me among say it's not the teaching said our strategic plan, i for laughter, time hotel. i made no darma 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, creating 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 rake. derrick young, convert these close to sand. into giant work they got from hero of views of the landscape like the rocky beaches and streams of water. i point so my drawing from the patents i st. paul

ah, derrick young creates his works of art hard on the shoreline, allowing them to be washed away by the incoming c. a race against time and tide. i see all the way. i always photograph my drawings are captured with a drawing since they're more accessible now from me and when the tide watches 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 potter nature . derek 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 it to disappear. and so i thought they're gone, they're comment on kong nature parts will become less and less with further development and something like that would change places like lately to die with residential buildings and pollution. i won't be as nice for people to come home from their human drawing lines in the san for his art and for hong kong environment. ah ah, and that's it for today is over this morning website, the w dot com, forward slash geisha. you can follow us on facebook and twitter as well, with you tomorrow, with
