good land, gemini, afraid the w. imagine how many portion of lunch now in the world right now, the climate change, the very hot story. this is my place, the way home just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm doing with kids subscribe or more with this is did have been years a shirt coming up to date locked downs in school, shut down in china. hon. relaxed 0. corporate policy in person teaching has been halted in some schools in beijing by part of a southern city has entered a 5 day lockdown. is this port authorities mean by re max session?

in strict europe covered rules, plus nepal volts in a parliamentary election where the stakes are high. but so is voted this satisfaction with politics for you to have the details. ah, my british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. it's good to have you with us. china capital b gene has closed several school districts up for a sergeant corporate 19 cases and is urging residents in its hardest hit areas to stay home over the weekend being reported to corporate 19 debts. the 1st in the country since may. meanwhile, the port city, one job began a 5 day lockdown of its most populous by your district. china has made adjustments to with 0 forward policy, judging local authorities to deploy targeted closures,

rather than catch all locked downs. but even with the changes, lockdown, fatigue is still palpable. when should i told her? if you can't go anywhere, i will. everything's closed. customers can't come either or . so what can you do, jojo? nothing her right now. i don't know how it will go out. the policy is changing every day. but i feel that chain is covered. policy is still pretty good. i left it more on this from correspondent fargo gretsch bye in the b gene for them. how have authorities reacted in b gene to the spirit in cases and recent deaths? yet with new restrictions in beijing, all the school buildings, they close down and a shifter to online classes. the restaurants in the city are also either a close down or am only operate or for take out food. i entertainment venue. they

remain shut down. and then when you walk around in the city, you can see a lot of residential compounds also sealed off and i, on the streets, there's really an incredible amount of ambulances striving around, potentially am. you are bringing a suspected and confirmed covered cases or 2 current in facilities. and so on. all i would call this a lockdown light because by chinese standards, it's not a full lockdown. we can at least a still go out on the street, but the other restrictions are getting more stricter by the day. to explain this to me because turner announced a relaxation and 0 cord or fallacy, little over 10 days back. how do all these latest measures square with that relaxation? they don't, and it's hard to really to explain because the situation on the ground is rather chaotic or ambivalent, ambiguous. nobody really knows what is the new m r playbook, so to speak. and even though we have the new rules by the am central government am

or he on the ground, they are not implemented consistently. and it seems that especially the local governments are very cautious in opening up am. if they want to open up at all, i mean we see it in the example of should young that separate provincial capital of hubby province and and there was the 1st city that are basically suspended mass testings reopened to schools despite a high infect numbers and just to day the roof reversed, all those are a relaxation and opening. so, and we really don't know how it will develop in the future. but right now the ash policy shift seems to or indicate that our we are going into luck dance again. or is this causing any frustration among people in china? yeah, i would say the reactions can be classified into 2 or reactions. one is a fee. i mean, people are afraid of getting locked down either at home or in centralized accounting facilities. and then of course the anger,

the frustration because our everyday life is getting disrupted, especially the am school closures. hess. yeah. cost a lot of anger among chinese parents. and are the economic damage is also you'd shop owners are frustrated, and migrant workers are hit. and then of course, there's a lot of outcry on social media when people see another example of you know, excessive implementation of a cobra rules. for example, several days ago, am a newborn baby has died in a guaranteed facility because it could not be a transporter to a hospital fast enough. so i would say yes, definitely. the anger rising and increasing by the day relieved to her for the time being. but thanks so much for bringing our server picture for a relaxed 0 corporate situation in china. i've been chrisman reporting from bridging. thank you so much. ah, voters, in near bol had been at the balls to elect their next government turn out, was law over the weekend in an election held at

a time of severe economic hardship. the principal contest is but been incumbent prime minister, shared bothered, uber and former prime minister. candelabra's had only results and expected for some days and are unlikely to deliver a clear majority for any party. nepalese young and old, stand in long cures to cast their ballots. but they're willing to wait to have their c, s, the elected parliament members which used to countries next leader. most candidates belong to either the centrist napoleon, congress party led, but incumbent prime minister, or the communist party. the mood for change is palpable estimation grapples with widespread corruption, slowing economy, and many other problems. our health education or the new government should move

forward to provide health and education because their common facilities is needed by everybody in common. this is a we're going to visit with you here. we need you. full leaders. we've seen the old generation work. now we need to see new faces and new talent, that voter referring to several young candidates who are contesting against an old guard that has been in power for decades. one of them as grabby, lemme china, a former television host. he vows to bring political stability to a nation that has changed over a dozen of governments in the past 16 years, durham little milligrams, people are saying, we've been cheated. we've been looted that there is discrimination. our land has been encroached, reserving. these are the problems that people face, but they're not finding a place where they can go and make complaints. i would become more vocal on this when i reached the parliament and delivery themselves. but the next administration

will face more than just domestic problems. it also needs to navigate the traditional rivalry between the pulse 2 neighboring giants under incumbent prime minister. sherpa today ober nepal has shifted more to what india that worried china, which has invested heavily in the country under its belt and road initiative. the pulse, future stance remains unknown for now at some point, need to be repeated due to outbreaks, filings and final result, critique up to 2 weeks to declare and gentlemen offer more perspective on this is dr. mr. love monday hughes, director of the center for south asian studies in cops, mando. dr. funded the election saw a lot more than expected, turned out of about 61 percent. does that mean that the nepalese people are frustrated with their political close?

yes indeed, this is the lowest voter turnout since gender elections in 1991. it shows up public disenchantment and apathy towards the you know, and our political system. but it could also be that the increasingly young nepalese are abroad for walk in the gulf in militia, in korea, japan and dana post go there. does. there is a great demand for walkers abroad, so there are hardly any young nepalese living in the country. but he could also be at the same time as you mentioned, that people want to change that they are fed up with the old and tired leaders all the time. contesting elections. let's talk about the young now. police insur did bring it up some 49 percent of nipples. population is age 24 or, and those are their believes that are still in naperville. good. this young people's vote be the deciding factor. yes. so because we saw in that recently concluded local elections, that job, you know,

completely unknown faces were winning elections as independent candidates, they were not affiliated with any political body, especially the traditional ones. so i think the stick talk and instagram generation are wanting a change. they want somebody of their own generation to come and rule the country rather than or died and in fact, even the out sickly does our ruling the country. so i think god, this does give us some hope that our young a, please on wanting a change or speaking off this change, what are some of the main issue that you're paying? what important to people when they went to the polling boots with fust is unemployment. that is gross unemployment across the country. that is what compelling the nepalese to go abroad. second is up post in during the cove. it, there is hyper inflation and you know, the price rise, rise of fall petroleum prices. full price is and also all that job duties. hm.

which is the, one of the mainstays of the economy has been very low. the tourist rivals are just just picking up and also that job, i think the many shoes are corruption because people are just sick and tired of all big colossal corruption cases in the past. so. so i think the opportunity now for the leadership of mainly the traditional bodies is that there should be serious interest fiction off. what shall we do with this rising frustration? you know, independent candidates, people who are completely unknown are winning elections. the, at least i can see that in the initial phase of the results that is just coming up . now, people who are unknown, they are coming up in the elections. so there should be introspection by the upright ministers. we have so many of them and they are leaders in the traditional bodies. you are somebody who looks after the jury politics of south asia. therefore,

i just have to ask of this because this election has also been closely watched in new delhi and be jean. i'm wondering how that plays into the election. how do ordinary nepalese, for instance, feel about this struggle for influencing their country? well, as of now, it looks like all will end up in a very badly hung parliament to where no single party will command a majority. and that will necessitate you not dying up with smaller bodies who will demand more demand, more ministerial positions, important cabinet positions. and that will also take no bol into another round of political instability. so that instability will not be light and job will create some sort of anxiety, both in delhi and in beijing because the nipple, in all, as you know, our neighbors, the better one of us region of china and you'll be behind whispering all out there

are kind of india, so i think it would be very closely watched both in daily and bitching, specially the possibility of instability in napoleon having months while hopefully there is some stability to the government and can provide to the country reliever bearing for the time being dr. michelin 3rd funded director of the center for salvation studies and got monday. thank you very much, sir. thank you. and that's it for today. of course mo, from the region on our web site em as ever. you can follow us on facebook and twitter. we're back to morris, you then get back with stories that people of the world over the information. they provide the opinions they want to express d, w on facebook and twitter up to date and in touch. follow us. mm
