come the person, he's always wanting to be and he's very badly. oh, in that re credit and we'll go through with it. i was born in starts march 30th on d, w. b. if they did other news, asia coming up to date, china's biggest oven lockdown since the start of the cobit pandemic. shanghai is being locked down into phases to control a new outbreak. it's left many asking if a 0 corporate strategy is still the best one. plus a political litmus test in pakistan from mr. ron con is facing a serious challenge from the opposition to step down. will he stay? will he go? and how the water ukraine has interrupted a sporting connection with india?

we meet the indian athlete. what is for his coaches safety in bomb doubt, aki ah, i'm british energy. welcome to d. w. news. asia ledger could join us. china's 2nd biggest city, shanghai has entered into lockdown to cab a spartan colonel. nobody's case is 3400 new cases in a city of 26000000 compared to the rest of the world. it isn't much bit in 0 covered china. this is a lot. the lockdown will be in 2 phases, beginning with the eastern half of the city 1st, followed by the western half shanghai swung pool river splits the city into conveniently at this moment when officials are locking the city down in halves over there on the eastern poodle side,

including the financial center restrictions are already in place than the western pool. she section locks down starting friday tunnels and cross river bridges are closed as our highway toll booths and crossings. and there will be testing, testing and more testing in the eastern side, then testing and more testing. and the more populous western side. those found to be infected, may be shuttled from health care facilities onto buses and taken to quarantine hotels. this in a country that had previously kept the corona virus under control, through strict 0 tolerance measures for even small numbers of case it shouldn't be . i'm feeling very insecure and hearing a lot of rumors on the outside like we're short of this or that. and we need to rush to buy them. people are panicking. i am panicking to some extent. i don't feel optimistic to be honest. one type financing or city wide lockdown might do us good . the epidemic right now is quite serious. compared to other countries,

the infection numbers are very low in china, and corona virus related deaths. the government says, stand at about 4600 as the us closes in on a 1000000 deaths from the pandemic. but as shanghai is response team has said the number of intensive care beds per 1000000 people is much lower in china than many countries. facilities are improving. but vigilance, stunning vigilance to many remains and imperative. shanghai is locked down, is china's largest city wide lockdown since the start of the pen demik. we also got a spot in fargo, correct? if it marked the end of the 0 covert policy. no m i, my interpretation is d m opposite because m actually, there were a lot of em speculation going on by though they, the government would basically have a pilot project in shanghai. i'm living with the virus co existence of the virus,

but they decided otherwise, i mean, am the financial center of china if they just put in to love the euro covert policy, with a lot of effort, a lot of costs and, and probably one reason is that in autumn we have them the and their 20th party congress, and until then i don't think that am china is am ready to risk opening up the country and i think they are committed to and i am keeping 0 cove. it at least for now, journalist barbie. and chris mother to pakistan next were prime minister im ron hahn has claimed a foreign funded conspiracy is behind an attempt to unseat him from his post. addressing supporters at a week and rally in the capital, islamabad haunt claimed. he had proof of the alleged conspiracy, but declined to elaborate. hon is facing a no confidence motion brought against him by opposition. parties who accuse him of miss managing the economy and for policy. now, here is how hon rebutted his opponents. attempts are

being made by to change the government through foreign funding. good nike gorski daughter. yeah. ah, the money is from a broad ah, beth and the people that are being used to go out is that are pakistan. is there some of them unknowingly and some knowingly john are using this money against us sized the marlboro medical law. and for more of this, i'm john knob on my colleague shamella chums. shannon, what is this foreign funding con, keeps referring to? well, bridge i have no idea, no, no one knows because he didn't say any, you just showed a letter paper actually. and he said that some foreign countries are conspiring

against me. so we don't know, i believe it is an attempt to distract people's pension and also from the no confidence that he's facing in parliament. and also, i think it's a very popular, you know, and the u. s. logan's already bought, i think he's referring to washington, and that's a very bob john slogan and be sure that the speech that we heard last night is a pre election speech. whether he's or why not confident or not, there are going to be early elections and box them. so he's trying to get his orders behind him. so 10, so now if and when these election stay less than he is here, ready to deal with it. with this or no confidence for give us a sense of how serious this is as a political challenge turn on con, immensely because a lot of his own party,

lawmakers have deserted how openly sent and they were vote and support for the no confidence was the opposition is no confidence, lord is coalition partners are contemplating leaving? so it's all clear that he has lost majority and it's just clear as day. but the problem here is that the army, the army, is also not supporting in the bus. they want to remain neutral in this conflict. that is also what the constitution does then to stay true. and that's how they are dealing with the situation. they are quite unhappy with economy can on all of the performances as well. what exactly has upset there are me as i said, the economic policies are extremely bad over the past few and a half years since the grains of the country. the inflation is record

high, the unemployment is rising. the army has a lot of economic stakes and bucks for more than anyone else. so the army is run off of the economic mismanagement. and also the foreign policy has been offering himself as an empty breast politician and the rest prime minister in moscow. on mac, wooten and all that army is not is very unhappy with allied with the get the funding to get their equipment from from the us and the rest. and also on trade is like immensely it's, it's quite big when it comes to the west and china and russia not as much bricklayer sherman, what should we be expecting in the coming days? the national assembly, the lower house,

the following session has started in this law and as we speak they are going to table the not confidence walk, officially involvement. and then we see that there was a position lawmakers, government, lawmakers, there were debate. the government is trying to do as much as possible, hoping that coalition partners lawmakers could come back on, which is very unlikely. and i'm going to be working on it. i'm most likely that would be the ouster problems to show much i'm to leave it there for the time being . thank you so much for joining us today. ah, the warden, ukraine has kept an indian athlete apart from his ukrainian coach. paralympic shot komatt owes a large part of his sporting success to his court in the ukrainian city of how to keep the city in the east of the country is presently under constant bombardment. that left shot of water for his quarter safety shot at coma
