and in malaysia 5 days offer an inconclusive election. finally, a leader unborn ibrahim will be prime minister of an ethnically diverse nation that see political instability for the past 4 years. willis appointment change that ah i british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. glad you could join us. china has reported a new record high of covered 1000 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 code with policy. in the central manufacturing hub,

jung drew 0 covert fatigue and p. disputes have kicked off violent protests among workers at fox cons. vast i phone factory, they've been under covered restrictions for weeks, but they 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 foggy on crash. my in b ging fabi on chinese authorities had promised more targeted measures as part of this as you recovered policy. do these current city wide lockdown feel different than what people have so far experienced but if so only slightly am yeah, you could argue that. and now am the lockdown a little bit more targeted. for example here, bitching. at least some parts of the population can still go out or can go on the street. that's better than were compared with her locked 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 are back in locked dance and, and yeah, also caught up in this endless cycle of the, our mass testing karen teen and locked downs. and either foresee images or fox con workers clash and with dr. police in the city of drunk jew, have chinese people reach their limit, worth averse 0 current policy. yeah, i mean the frustration the angles increasing are 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. and a, you're a 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 way? the rest of the world seems to have learned to live with a virus, and this information that they get is basically contradicting the propaganda that always said that, you know, at 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 web, on their social media platforms and began to ask the critical questions. it's a 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 severe to lockdown is which to some degree it's true that

the more on the ground, the more local you get at the stricter is the implementation. and that has to do with the fear of people of the authorities to cause problems and toward 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 office 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 and, and what it cost was really a lot of misunderstanding, a lot of confusion. nobody really knows exactly where the way is going. but now it should actually be clear, we are back to luck dance. and as you recall, we, as you recall, it will be an hour implemented as before. actually lots of her beijing have also

entered or locked down far beyond the city where you are. what is it like being in bridging right now? yet 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 i 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 or her being in a quarantine center because she doesn't know when she can get back home. and her building a sealed offer, 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 are when crestmarc relieve there. thanks so much for joining us. militias, a long time opposition leader unborn ibrahim has been sworn in as the countries 10th prime minister. his appointment ends nearly a week of uncertainty after elections produced a hung parliament. the king invited abraham to form the government, but he faces a challenge from his rival, former prime minister with dean, your scene has challenged onward to prove he has a majority. that however didn't prevent unborn from being administered. the oath of office with the king's blessing on what he brought him, becomes to 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. little marking hor, 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 unwise. 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 in militia. also, costio gone to break the deadlock without clear results nor timeline because it is all discretion of the wrong. and i've said that i will give you the got him, the fullest breaks, and the discussion and her would seek his advice and her

accepted decision. 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 on war. the 75 year olds rode to premier ship has been 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 on corruption and sodomy, charges. he says were politically motivated as to progressive liter takes to reins and science and a multi ethnic mission. also greta is to my station, under ex premie at mo, hidden is now somewhat east. but malaysia still grapples with storing inflation and slow economic growth. a long to do list awaits to new premier. let's go across the correspondence to have grown a bomb has been monitoring developments in militia. dave does,

i'm not abraham's appointment as prime minister give militia the stability it needs . you know, an interesting question because here we are evening that edward abraham is sworn in as prime minister appointed by the king. but the opponent, move it in your scene is still insisting that he has the majority of members apartment back in. and would you seen a seat 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 been numbers. so here we are with everything should be settled. we should be moving forward, and now there's still questions about this. ok, so at this date it's a little difficult to say is, what is your scene cap one? what's the best steps? are they gonna take them a days ahead? is and we're going to feel like he's going to have to have to prove it, or is he just gonna say no, the 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 churned

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 the 1st time in a strong support from this minority community. one of the things n or even humans often talks 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 how 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. so can he really taxes? leadership got a really talk leadership and bring the country together after what has been a really, really divisive election name. assuming of 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 on 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 the economy, you know, dealing with inflation job. people concerned that there may be, may off,

next year. people worried about losing their job, how he's going to handle that, the value bring it balling these, the major ring at the currency here. so this is definitely a top top priority for his administration. we leave it there for the time being. the thanks so much for bringing us of that up to date. going to bomb. 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 asia, and missouri. you can follow us on facebook and twitter as well. we're back tomorrow at the same time. and so ben gerber is the end of the pandemic in site. we show what it could look like will return to normal and we visit those who are finding it difficult.
