giving up the most exciting sport. stories about people passion and their dr. sports life every weekend on d w. these places in europe are smashing all the records for step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover. some of you are record breaking sites on google maps, youtube and now also in book form, they sent it over there was a shock coming up to date. china's battle with covered and does uncharted territory . beijing has relaxed. it 0 covert policy and cut back on reporting official case numbers. it's left people confused as to the true scale,

the situation facing them. a girl in a remote region of focused on are given a rare opportunity to learn to write a bike. why are some local men so angry about it? ah, i'm british manager, welcome to beat up the news. a shirt ledger could join us confusion range and china a week up to being relaxed. it's stringent 0 corporate policy. the government has stopped reporting on a symptomatic cases and public testing has been scaled back. the result, no one is quite sure of the scale of actually go with infections in the country. it's why the streets of the capital aging are largely empty. as people stay at home rather than risk infection by going out at the same time, cues are forming outside pharmacies with people, with choosing cold and flu medication. some because they have covered others

preemptively. as you can use it, i'm worried. i'm definitely worried that i'll be infected too, because after all, the virus is spreading so fast, especially now that the whole country has already opened up with there are really a lot of positive cases now. basically if you have a cold and you're positive, did have a reporter, clifford conan joint, been out in the studio for more context. clifford welcome. so what is happening here? our case is going up and if they are, is this a new outbreak in china? well, i think the cases are going up, according to chinese health officials, they've been, they've written more than 5 folds and they're growing rapidly. so there are indications that it is that infections are growing fast, but they're w h o is telling us that it's not a new outbreak that there were existing cases there. what in stages we're just seeing more of them and we seen them. we see more of this case of also seeing some

pretty concerning images of people receiving m i v drips and their cars and this was outside the clinic in shall gun in central china's whole bay province. what's going on then? what does that say about the scale of covered in china? well, i think what it tells us is that the health system isn't ready for this for one. and what we, what we're seeing is that people are taking these measures and people are suffering from so many people have symptoms which are similar to covert. we don't know how many people actually have cove. this is actually still a big factor. we know that there are a lot more sick people out there and a lot more people are merging now that the 0 covert policy has been lifted for we're still not sure if, if, if they actually have cove itself. and i think a lot of this has to do with the family doctor system in china's to very under developed that basically if you're sick, he go to a hospital, people are encouraged to go to the hospital. so suddenly you've got all this extra strain on the existing resources. and the response to that has been things like the

i v m, the drips in the cars, which are disturbing images. and, but you've also seen people turning to chinese medicine and because they, the, the resources aren't there to deal with this upsurge in in illnesses. so they're all basically a result of china effectively opening up but without a reopening plan. correct? yeah, i think that basically it seems to have happened. you see the language everywhere, even on this very tightly policed sad as social media, you see words like flip flop and you turn am whiplash. all these words, the people are just so shocked by the speed with which everything has turned around and, and that's causing all kinds of problems, it's call and this logistics issues. and, and it's, it's basically the fact that there wasn't a plan in place. it just seems to have happened. we ought or not. plans are, therefore i have to ask you this because china was already lagging behind and vaccinating it's most vulnerable,

all particularly it's elderly. now that this real thing of sorts has happened, is that a plan to address this shortfall while they are talking now about doing more about vaccinations? and if you look at other parts of the world and compare china where it's had this 3 years of 0 coverage, where's the rest of the world? it's emerged that the kind of the best way out of it is to have a brief period of 00 covert and then look, be more selective as so i think china is using vaccinations as part of trying to implement up process as well. and we've got a very low number of debts in china so far, which ad the government is claiming that as a success. but i think what this new measures measures are showing is that there's just no way or by removing the measures. they're showing that they're, they're not able to control it and, and now these forecasts of up to one or 2000000 people dying by some models and show that they're really pushing things like vaccination and maybe even looking to foreign vaccinations, which is another aspect of this that they go beyond the traditional chinese

vaccinations and maybe start using foreign m r n a vaccines. but for now, definitely the pro set the, the focus is on getting the most vulnerable in society, vaccinated. this all seems a bit of a knee jerk reaction doesn't. did i mean, oh, what prompted china to suddenly do this 180 degree turn so soon without an effective plan? well, i think we've had these pros tests. so the white paper protests we've had dab at the fox con plant in central china. you saw people and taking to the streets because they're worried about catching covered and not being adequately protected. and we've had a lot of different areas in society where the 0 coven band policy just wasn't working for people. i don't think it's just the protest. i think that the government was certainly trying to loosen certain areas before the protests took place. but it's hard not to see their protests as, as, as a catalyst for, for bringing about this change. we'll leave it there for the timing, but thanks so much for coming into this. do,

do break that down for us. give it couldn't. ah, a group of girls in a remote area of buxton, i've been given a rare treat of learning to write a bike. females in the conservative region of lundy, corporal are usually prevented from being any type of sport. but professional athletes. some are hon was able to set up the 1st cycling camp there. she said her name was to give goes a chance to experience the joy of this kind of physical activity and also to empower them. there has been some opposition to it and we'll have more of that in a moment. but 1st, here's what some of the goals felt about cycling for the 1st time and their situation. the guy really hard, i'm high. i am happy that this if it was held as women in our area and not encouraged to participate in sports, especially cycling has what i know. you and i have learned today that we shouldn't be bothered about what people say as men and women are equal to charlotte as you

are very. so you have your shade, moondog ordered you a rookie dog. i want to get an education, and i also love sports. i want to make my name in the sports. but because this is an honor problem for me and me, so they don't allow us to do sports, noticed that english, that is that because of a lack of education, they marry the daughters when male only she 13 or 14. my friend, who is my age is getting married emma this month mercado my really hate you, mark i did with and jeremy for more on this is did of the news reporter news java who brought us this story. finish. welcome. what are the organizers want to achieve with this event? for british, this event was organized in a very the more to part of pakistan died, borders of gunners, thought. and although these tribal areas have been merged with the neighboring

province, there still have very guns of def guston van traditions for usually women stay at home. and when they leave, they're often accompanied by a men of their families. and we don't see young goldstein, the girls playing on the streets, they play within the boundaries, often homes and education and sports opportunities are very limited. so i think the aim of the event was too short with the world that these girls with doubt breaking their customs. and as we can see that they're properly covered without breaking the guston. big gang gleam public spaces. there can be on the streets and enjoy their thank you you are you talk about the disability of the tribal area. so what particularly stands out about this event being held in these so called tribal areas . so for some men and some religious leaders are this cycling event wasn't a dark on their values. ah, so for instance, there was a, there is an influential,

a muslim cleric in the region. and after the strategy was this event was held, he posted on 5th book and fame, that oil will be done to prevent this from happening again. he coil this and ensure sponsored event a bed of attacking the tribal values. and not only this, on our local chapter, awful marcusson's, big religious party be held a rally against this event in the town. and men were holding black gods saying that a woman's please, if i her home and that i and a dark on tribal values will not be tolerated at any cost. so, and also on social media that have been gone thence are criticizing the event. so their opposition has been intense, but why are men particularly threatened by this is just girls riding a bike? what so threatening about it because it empowers them and they can see that they will have a wife. and i think what happened with this rarely,

but this event was that now these girls have experienced the freedom to have that they have experienced, controlling the bike learning to bike. and i changes a lot that you talked about this being a particularly conservative part of partisan and you also mentioned that the dispossess tribal area. but what is it like in the rest of barcas on i mean, can a woman cycle freely on the streets and choose when and where she wants to do this women's mobility in back of found if very district i'm in urban areas, you would see women driving cars, but only those who can afford it and that's a minority. most women would use public transport, which in most cases is not have him in friendly that have been certain government programs to be or did try to train girls to write motorcycles are. but still you would really see them in writing a bike or order both like and, and i will give you my example. i mean, as a child in boxes and i used to bike

a lot. but when i grew older, i was not allowed to do that. and when i moved to germany and born, i would bike from my home to office along the rhine river. and for me, i understood the value. it was like a privilege that i had and riding a bike is something that is considered normal in many parts of the world. but for me i, i could i every day and i would never get bored because i knew the value of it and i in love the freedom that nobody is harassed than me looking at me. and i just felt grateful. so i'm, i can feel her why there was so much of happiness and smiles on these young girls, 5th, or as you are finally ready yourself. right now i have to ask you, was it always like this and burgersson? was it always problematic for women and girls? to ride in the streets publicly? no, it was not always like this. when i was in school, i remember my school principal used to tell us that when she was young and she was

to go to college, she would bike in law heart. but in my gen edition, that is almost impossible for, for pockets, and was not always like that during it. if there was a military dictator. ah, and he, he kind of ready, strict arisen for, for parker phone and i ping out a generational church for the worst relief. bernice, thanks for coming in. thank you. and that's it for today with suit laurel. ah is the end of the pandemic in site? we show what it could look like. return to normal. and we visit
