a swarms? are you a psychopath? wouldn't causes monster waves. how powerful are your thoughts? we can control our thoughts, which makes us very powerful questions about life, the universe and the rest that we're series 40 to the answer to almost everything this week on t w. ah, this is deed of new news, asia coming up to date. rising summer temperatures make life miserable across india, it's early summer and temperature records are already being broken. and there's warnings of coming heat waves. how is india coping? glass india register as a spike in covey cases to but doctors are sure on

a new variant isn't as deadly as previous ones. also coming up, schoolkids in an indonesian province are forced into school and the crack of dawn, it's cracked down for discipline. but parents and teachers fear it might crack students instead and young women and focused on learning to write motor bikes. they want greater freedom to decide where they go and win without a man in the driver's seat. ah, i better manage you welcome to did up the news asia glad you could join us. india is experiencing unusually high temperatures for this time of the year. it's already recorded. it's hottest february in the 122 years. whether officials are now wanting of an increased possibility of heat waves across the country up until me

more than quenching your test. thing hydrated right now in india could be a matter of life and death. as they time temperatures climb up to 41 degrees celsius. heat stroke can be 50 even though summer has just started. millions in india are already battling the heat authorities. i'd whiten people to take precautions. did was a silicon, it's advisable not to step outside in the open between 130 and 3 pm. and if it is necessary to go out, people must carry an umbrella or cover their heads from direct sun. people who work in the open like pharmacy should also keep their heads covered for you. i would like given heat waves that thank to fling to climate change are becoming more frequent and deadly in india, this speak 11 people died of sunstroke and february per hospitalized. at an event

near mom by public health $333.00 india is one of the country's most exposed and vulnerable to heat. this year, the average maximum temperature in february reached 29.5 degrees celsius. the highest recorded in more than 100 years. farmers especially are watching the temperature rice bit dragged. last year the we're heat fifths damaged, wheat production, and india. the world's 2nd largest producer of wheat was forced to band exports. what would the government believe to requirements would be met with full yield and they will be able to export, but there was a 20 percent shot fall in the yield because of the heat wave when the government realised the production loss. they called for ben. oh, the better find to stay warmer temperatures are caused by increasing greenhouse

gases. in fact, my fear some experts suggest india should significantly cut down its emissions according to warrant economic forum. india is the world's 3rd largest emitter of carbon dioxide. one of the greenhouse gases, the south asian country, has committed to become carbon neutral by 2070. but it's a problem that crosses borders that india can solve on its own. and for now, the consequences of extreme red did on its people seem inevitable. and it's not just temperatures that have spiked across india. covert cases are rising as well. the country has registered more than 10000 daily cases in the past few days. it doesn't seem like much for a country of about 1400000000 people, but these case figures are nearly 8 month highs. still, the panic button isn't being pressed yet. in the us clinics and hospitals are crowded again. people are once more queuing up to see a doctor about hawks breathlessness and fever. this mall community clinic in delhi

is seeing between 30 to 40 patients with core. we'd like symptoms every day. at present, the sample positivity rate in the city is hovering between 25 to 32 percent. scientists point to a sub bearden of the omicron cove at variant called x b b 1.16 as the cartridge behind the new speed of infections. layer bother us again . this is not a very severe variant yet, was that just not causing the kind of infection in which the patient may face respiratory distress. weiss who needs intensive care with oxygen support. this is, i would rather it's mostly mild to your mild her. despite the number of rise in cases most probably faces after thin, large crowds with no safety protocols being followed. the rising forward infections have caught the attention of the authorities as well. the deli government says that it's on high alert to deal with this, but in cases and that it is fully prepared to handle any kind of emergency. dr.

sandeep goyle, a public health expert says that the latest myriad is highly infectious and people should follow basic precautions and accept that the virus if here to state. the lawless, although extensive, is again limited by the front. the mutations are very hard to predict. we go by the historical data historical in this is which we have seen for the past 100150 days of level. it's likely to be less than less the vs with time. and these birds, and in some lineages that can keep on coming the country. so far and has seen 3 big be of, of virus, according to the government, into 1020 to 90 percent of india. adult population had been fully vaccinated against it. but the numbers are still lagging when it comes to booster shots healthy. well, it's one that india cannot afford to let it go down. a dramatic consequences of an

unchecked found to me. i still fresh him a quick look now at some other stories making headlines around asia. thousands of sri lankan have stage to protest in the capital of colombo demanded justice for the victims of the 2019 east of being attacked. 270 people were killed and several suicide bombings that targeted churches and luxury tutors hotels on the state. she, duncan officials have charge dozens of people immediately affiliated with these stomach state tenant group for involvement of the attacks. but no one has been convicted for you and has clarified that an upcoming meeting with diplomats will not focus on the question of granting recognition to the taliban. at the start of the week, you and deputy secretary general amena mama, that spot concern saying that a meeting between your in chief and toner, good toners and understand envoys would discuss a court pathway to recognition for the polar bond or un spokesperson has now

confirmed that the doha meeting, starting the 1st of me will not focus on that. yeah. what i can say is that the doha conference on the 1st and 2nd of may is not focusing on recognition. and we don't want there to be any confusion about that. the point of the discussion which will be held in a closed private setting is to build a more unified consensus on the challenges at hand. and as you know, there's a, a need to reinvigorate international engagement around the sort of common objectives that the international community has on of genocide. ah, how schools in indonesia normally start early with classes beginning between $7.00 and 8 am. but the government of one indonesian province is forcing children to start classes at 5 30 in the morning. the authorities believe it helps make youngsters more disciplined. parents, students, and teachers alike are finding the early start, exhausting their day starts before the sun's even up.

it's 5 30 in the morning and these teenagers are already at school. at the crack of dawn, before many can have breakfast or even wake up properly. it's tough on the students and also their parents. cassie and de la la la dale, bad for waking up my children from their deep sleep. yeah it's, it's extremely difficult for me to do that. i'm good and they now have to leave home while it's still pitch dark color below. how has said, i can't accept that as a parent pulling it up via i wanted to return to like it was before i had to completely go malik and not allow it. amongst nessie we'll get here in indonesia is east news. the tongue got a province. a government thinks an early start is good for discipline and improving education quality, ma'am. but education experts have not yet found

a connection. by putting got them starting the class at 5 30 am or even 5 am before has no correlation with improving the quality of education. if the governor and education agency wanted as a pilot project, they must be so on a research study, one thing and then the youngsters aren't thrown into book learning right away. the morning starts with praying, dancing, and singing together. but the brutal schedule is proving a strain for both students and their teachers. and early start time means and early finish. but as students had home, it won't be long before alarm clocks are ringing again. some women in pakistan are experiencing and a weakening of sorts. the freedom of writing a motorbike more than a convenient way to get around and heavy traffic. it's a way for women to take control of their lives. it's also in the car, an act of defiance in pakistan's deeply patriarchal society. but more women are

taking that step. as d, w reports from karachi, female motor bikers are still a rare sight in pakistan. where driving to wheelers is seen as a man still mean. but more women are seeking the freedom of writing alone and taking control. bobby, if sometimes we have evening shifts and we finish work at 3 in the morning and my father or brother aren't available to pick me up if that's why i wanted to be independent. and it's really not that easy. rachel javert runs a motorbike school. she's trained around $3000.00 female drivers that were at the snippet taking them. it's been 2 years since i started training. girls who are 2 girls see that i do everything independently without any one's held on. i don't depend on any one. i do every thing myself. i buy groceries for my home. many girls want to do the same. they come to me for learning. it takes

a $7.00 to $8.00 days to train a girl and to where it is like this economy. but it isn't always an easy ride. women bikers are often harassed on the road. many men see them as a threat to public morality or bank which knob door. meanwhile, there are people who isn't away now either to continue the degrade us of their dog as if we are doing something harmful to society ahead. but there are many be blown who appreciated will give us the confidence to continue this effort, gamble. so what was the classical rachel says, convincing family members is the 1st and hardest step above desiccant with world banking girls tell me that their brothers are barons are against their driving bikes is about didn't they want me to convince them it was obvious when i tell them that the same was my case. even today my mom is very scared. she doesn't want me to ride a bike and she asked me to buy a car, but i feel comfortable having a bike. she also won over her brothers who bought her
