we're going to need to keep doing what we're doing, and that's why your green revolution is absolutely necessary. unit revealed, the future is being determined. now, our documentary theory will show you how people, companies, and countries are rethinking everything. i'm making make a change in europe revealed this week on d. w. this is, it has been years asia coming up today. colby cases in china are soar to record high . it's prompted city wide love downs across the country. but people's patience is wearing thin. as these clashes in junk, jude demonstrate, have chinese people reach their limit with the 0 coverage policy. and

in malaysia 5 days offer an inconclusive election. finally, a lead up unbound. ibrahim will be prime minister of an ethnically diverse nation that's in political instability. for the past 4 years, willis appointment change that ah. i british manager, welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us. china has reported a new record high of coven, 19 infections, of more than 31000 cases. the highest since the virus was 1st detected in von in late 2019. cities across the country are expanding, locked down despite recent announcement by beijing to scale back it's 0 coven policy. in the central,

the factoring hub jung ju 0 covert fatigue and p disputes have kicked off violent protests among workers at fox guns. vast i phone factory. they've been under covered restrictions for weeks, but there will be no relief yet. on thursday, 6000000 people in parts of john jew were told to stay at home for 5 days and undergo mos testing for more, let's go across the corresponding far beyond crouch, my in be jing fabiani. chinese authorities have promised more targeted measures as part of this is due recovery policy. do these current city wide locked downs feel different than what people have so far experienced but if so only slightly. um, yeah, you could argue that. and now am the locked out a little bit more targeted. for example, in betting at least some parts of the population can still go out or can go on the street. it's better than were compared with

a lock down in shanghai this spring. but yeah, if you go out then basically all shops are close, schools are close. so the bigger picture i would say is quite similar. we're back in lock dance and m. yeah. also caught up in this endless cycle of ya, mass testing. karen, teen and lockdown. and either foresee images or fox con workers clash and with right police in the city of drunk jew, have chinese people reached their limit with averse 0 corporate policy. yeah, i mean, the frustration the angle increasing actually massively increasing. interestingly, it's not so much the other protest m, as in john joe, that the people are talking about because of the heavy censorship. the biggest eye opener the wake up call for many chinese is interestingly the world cup and cut out the football world cup. because if you watch it on your tv from china, it's really a very surreal experience. m a,

you're many of us are unlocked on here and some of us cannot go out on the street. and then you watch on the screen. you see crowded stadiums, you see cheering fans, and a lot of people without masks and m. so people began to wander and began began to ask questions. why are we still caught up at the situation? why the rest of the world seems to have learned to live with a virus. i mean, this information that they get is basically contradicting the propaganda that always said that, you know, it, china is controlling the virus while it spreads out of control in the rest of the world. and we are basically the only country that achieved success. so many angry users, they posted on wave on their social media platforms and began to ask the critical questions. and it's a good question that i've been asking you as well, or are in their conversations that we've had. because china had promised a relaxation in the 0 corporate policy, if you're seeing the city wide lockdown, is it a case of implementation up to local officials? they decide how severely locked on is slit to some degree. it's true that

the more on the ground, the more local you get are the stricter is the implementation. and that has to do with the fear of people of the authorities to cause problems and towards stare, am bosses. but i would say by now it's quite clear that also the central government does not want an opening up am today, and they sent out a statement of via the offish official and use agency sin. we're saying that our new rules are the quote unquote optimization of m. covered roots doesn't mean that we will not do nothing that we will let the virus spread. so it was really kind of a correction m and a, what it costs was really a lot of misunderstanding, a lot of confusion. nobody really knows exactly where the weight is going. but now it should actually be clear. we are back to lock dance. and as you recall, we, as you recovered will be a yeah, implemented as before. actually lots are for be doing have also entered or locked

down far beyond the city where you are. what is it like being in bridging right now? yeah, it's quite depressing. actually. i'm your every day there are new several hundreds of residential buildings that are getting sealed off. and many of us don't know whether we wake up tomorrow and then you know, find a lock in front of our doors or not. they are really very horrible stories. people very that what happens if i have a medical emergency and are but cannot go out to the hospital and in other chinese woman in her mid twenties, she told me that she is now in a current health center because she tested positive for the virus. but, and before the health workers came to transfer her, she immediately took all the cat food she had in her home and spread it on the floor because she has 2 cats. and she's just hoping now that the cat will survive the time her, her being in a current teen center because she doesn't know when she can get back home. and her building a sealed off her flat a sealed off. and i mean, those are the problems that many of us have to worry about. and as it seems,

it will not get better. and the next days i've been crushed. my will leave it there . thanks so much for joining us militia. as a long time. opposition leader and a bry him has been sworn in the countries 10th prime minister. his appointment ends nearly a week of uncertainty of the elections produced a hung parliament. the king invited him to form the government, but he faces a challenge from his rival, former prime minister. we deem yes seem, has challenged, unworthy to prove he has a majority. that however, didn't prevent unbar from being administered. the oath of office with the king's blessing on what he brought him, becomes the new prime minister of malaysia. after an unprecedented political stalemate, while his supporters celebrate his success, many others say they are fed up with the country's political drama. i think the

focus now should be the people of this company, not politicians, litigation goes what, what to river in this country. this murphy hall elections last saturday, had no outright winner. and for the 1st time ever, the country faced a prospect of a hung parliament to main alliances. one led by onward. the other one led by ex premier washington near seen, both claimed to have enough support to form a government. what followed were days of uncertainty. the 2 rifles were summoned by the king and militia also caused. you're gone to break the deadlock without clear results, your timeline, because it is all discretion of the wrong. and i've said that i will give you the got in the fullest bricks and the discussion and the would seek his

advice and her accepted decision with the resolution. finally came on thursday, after the country's long ruling party agreed to the king's proposal to form a unity government under armoire, the 75 year olds wrote to premier ship husband tablet. despite being close, twice, he was deputy prime minister in the ninety's and the official prime minister in waiting in 2018. in between, he spent nearly a decade in jail and corruption and sodomy charges. he says were politically motivated as to progressive leader takes the reins and sanity and a multi ethnic name. and also greta is on my situation under ex premie at mu. hidden is now somewhat east, but malaysia do grapples with soaring inflation and flow economic growth. a long to do list awaits to new premier. that's go across to correspondent to have grown or bomb has been monitoring developments in militia. dave does,

i'm of abraham's appointment as prime minister give militia the stability it needs . you know an interesting question because here we are it evening that edward eugene is sworn in as prime minister appointed by the king. but the opponent move in your scene is still insisting that he has the mature members of parliament back in and what you're seeing a scene saying that he has a 115 when the number you need is a 100. wow. and he is challenging and mark to prove that he has the numbers. so here we are, what, everything should be settled, we should be moving forward. and now they're still questions about this. ok, so at this stage it's a little difficult to say is more than just in camp what, what's next steps are they going to take the days ahead? is and we're going to feel like he's going to have to have to prove it. or is he just going to say no, that is decision is going to be as been made and we're going to move forward. so that is really still a little bit of a question. i'm going to be keeping an eye out for but this barbara abraham's

appointment. at least the announcement has been church in a multi ethnic country. why is that? what am are you bringing is the 1st prime minister to have strong support from the country minority community. roughly 2 thirds of the population is ethnic malay. but then you have a sizable minority population, predominately ethnic chinese and ethnic indian. and this is that he's the 1st time in a strong support from this minority community. one of the things he was often talked about is not having opportunities based on race, but based on me because this country has ruled that give priority for government jobs for housing for education to the malay majority. and we're talking about, you know, yes, we have to continue the opportunity that the more i get the we're also going to provide more for the people who need it. so it's a big thing here. and the whole idea about having a, you are the government that's going to function and give it's going to represent different regions. we've got to really see how this plays out in the weeks and

months ahead of how this really works does. and why really bring the country together because there are still deep divisions. there's still a lot of people were upset about his when can he really taxes? leadership got a really talk leadership test and bring the country together after what has been a really, really divisive election name. assuming the question of a majority is answered in the coming days. and i'm not abraham indeed, remain the prime minister. and what are the most immediate challenges he will have to address? well, one is just as we talked about, bringing the country together, getting everybody to work together. not always being in separate camps and fighting each other. he's got to keep back going, but the big thing, of course, the economy. i mean, that has been the number one thing that people were voting our pocket book issues. people struggling with the cost of living, the high inflation that people are dealing with. you're like so much of the world and wages have not grown. so economy, you know, dealing with inflation jobs, people concerned that there may be lay off next year. people worried about losing

their jobs. how are you going to handle bad? the value of the ring? it's falling, these of them later in the currency here. so this is definitely a top top priority for his administration. we leave it there for the timing, but thanks so much for bringing us of that up there. dave, gonna bump and melissa, thanks so much. that's it. for today is more updates from the region on our website, d, w dot com, forward slash a chef, missouri. you can follow us on facebook and twitter as well. we're back tomorrow at the same time. consumer and goodbye. ah, several did and right wing extremists, women's rights regressed, and again, world might be and company in late and burned in south africa, people with disabilities more likely to lose their jobs. in the pandemic black lives matter, protest, shine a spotlight on racially motivated police violence, same sex marriage is being legalized in more and more countries, discrimination,
