also, we can see today in bangkok, people are moving around, they're not staying at home. about 50 percent of a normal monday morning's traffic was out on the streets today. they also want to get to work they, they feel their lives have been put on hold. i think the opportune, many people feel the opportunity for the government to, to stop this transmission that has tracks. it was back in april. they didn't locked down properly. then i think many people feel that a low, they say this is only going to be 2 weeks. the situation with those rising infections could stretch on for many months to come out there. as rob mcbride is in sole, which i've seen another 1300 infections recorded in the past 24 hours. while they're really concerned about one has really alarmed them, is the speed with which this 4th wave has really surge. that virtually a we've seen, a doubling of new case has been reported in the last few days. it's been consistently well over a 1000 new cases per day, which is very high for south korean. now, part of it is being blamed on the war transmissible delta varia

tony chang has more now from bangkok on the restrictions imposed in thailand. well it means that people are being told they have to stay at home unless they work in an essential industry, such as food production or medical services. there is the night time curfew between 9 pm and 4 am. and i think the government is really trying to put a block on the, on the trip data transmissions, which are rising pretty close to about $10000.00 a day. that's what the government minister last week was saying. they expected it to go up to the problem in thailand corporate in iraq, in a hard place. it's trying also to open up. we've seen in the beginning of this month, the opening of the book at handbook, which is an initiative to allow vaccinated tourists to come back into the country. the try and kick stuff the, the part of the economy, which is so reliant on tourism. also we can see today in bangkok, people are moving around, they're not staying at home about 50 percent of a normal monday mornings traffic was out on the street today. they also want to get to work they, they

official figures. thailand has gone into locked down for 2 weeks with a night curfew in place in bangkok. a slow vaccine rollout and limited testing is only adding to the challenges and south korea capitol and surrounding areas have been moved to the strictest level of social distancing clumps and touches of being closed in private gatherings, limited. now in a moment we'll get more on the situation in south korea with rome mcbride, but 1st is going to tony chang, who is in the tie capital bank called tony. so the toughest restrictions in more than a year are beginning today. run through what that looks like. well they are, but it actually doesn't look like it did when our 1st law down came in in april last year because people are still coming in. certainly here into central bank. oh . there is a reduction in the numbers of people, but it appears that people on following the government invitation that the people work at home. no, it's not an order as it was last year. and the government does have the ability to, to jail, to find people that feels breaking the rules. but people are still

on the outskirts of bangkok, straight talk correspond attorney chang, who is lives from bangkok, fi skype attorney, bring us up to date with the latest. well, the, the font size is broad. the place where they thought they brought the place under control at about 10 pm. last night there was another explosion, a little after that, but they seem to now got that under control me understand the latest from the scene is that the fires pretty much been extinguished, although the still being very careful because there's still a lot of chemical now for the month thing up, the damage. there are thousands of people who were evacuated from the area around because of the toxic smoke that was growing up. many of these plastic monomers that were being used in the factory create a car from the genic fumes when the, when they're burned. and there's a lot of concern that has spread wide widely across the area around the factory. people in the neighborhood, well, they're wearing masks outside, but they're wearing masks in the homes as well because of concerns about those fumes. and i think they're going to

height restrictions were imposed last week in the capital, bangkok and other regions. tony cheng has more from bangkok. certainly there is more testing going on at the moment. but there are many more people who want to be tested to, and i think the feeling is here, certainly amongst the general public that there is now so much cove in 1900 out there. and particularly with the delta variant that they are very nervous about going yeah, the government has stopped short of imposing, absolutely locked down as it did at the start of the cove at $900.00 epidemic pandemic last year. and that may be one of the tools they'll be considering when the curve of 19 response team meets in bangkok, later on today. afghan president, gosh, i've gotten a, has been giving a public policy speech in the future direction of the country. danny's address comes as the taliban continues to make gains across afghan stan. last week. the government posed a nighttime curfew. america's top diplomatic holding talks with leaders in india, secretary of state antony blinking back to meet his counterpart a

ok, tony chang that lie for us from bangkok. thank you tony. so korea has also reported its highest staley, number of infections as battling its worst outbreak since the beginning of the pandemic restrictions in the capital. so have been extended for 2 more weeks and a strictly as well as popular city is extended. it's covered 19 locked in for months, just phase before it was due to end. state home orders have been in force since june. the faith of new south wales is struggling to contain an outbreak of the delta variance monsoon rains and bangladesh of triggered landslides at the world's largest refugee camp, killing at least 6 people, mostly children. the kids have a long campaign, cox's bizarre as homes, more than a 1000000 hanging refugees from neighboring men mar lexi bryan reports in the pouring rain. people come to see what happened or salvage what's left. the makeshift homes built from plastic sheets and bamboo pole had no chance when the muddy hillside collapsed into rachel rains. but one of you left and my sister went to the bathroom

tony cheng, that was all the ages for us from bangkok. thank you tony. well, let's now cross over to the south korean capital sol and speech run mcbride, rob, these tougher restrictions now being imposed across the capital. what to authorities their expect to happen. that's right. they are imposed for 2 weeks, but may well be extended. after that, i think the authorities here have been really alarmed by the speed with which this 4th wave has suddenly risen up. it's due in part to the more transmissible delta variance, but it also combines, it seems, with a general sense of complacency, amongst the public. and also from the government's point of view and admission that he did got it's messaging somewhat wrong. and as we've had the rollouts of the vaccination program here around 30 percent of people in south korea now had at least the 1st jap and as a way of trying to encourage people to get vaccinated as that numbers come up, that the government has been announcing the lifting of certain restrictions, for example, if you've had one job, then you won't hav

he's in the capital, bangkok, tony this day is obviously been long anticipated, especially given the country's reliance on tourism. on people breathing a sigh of relief. are they more anxious about how all of this is going to go? i think that pretty anxious. the idea was to get tourism started again. this was seen very much as a test case for getting back to native tourist bank and handling them within the restricted area of the island for a certain period before they could be guess released to to thailand, generally with the assurance that they didn't have any code to transmit here, but we've seen a series of missteps from the government handling this. they've qualified, the cases that the people who can come more and more they, they've actually made it rather more difficult. initially they said that this would only be open to foreign terrorists, not the ties or foreign residents and time. and they've now changed that again. a few days ago, they said the tourists must have pre booked 3 covert tests before they arrived. so it's become very complicated, they've had quite a lot of appl

the highest figure in the pandemic began. teddy chang has more from bangkok, this 4th wave is really hitting thailand much harder than has been hit in the past . as you said, medical services are under extraordinary pressure at the moment. we've seen, in some cases, hospital spilling over their, their covert wards out into the car, parks of those hospitals until they can get people into the facilities to be treated. in some cases, people who are positive but not symptomatic of being told to remain in the homes of the people who have been treated and don't have severe symptoms of being sent home early. but told to isolate it's really a big problem for the government to fight in some cases we've, we've also seen very well documented on social media here in town instances when people have dropped dead in the street, were then tested positive for cove at 19. it's putting a lot of pressure on the government. they have asked in the short term for a new airport terminal. it's one of them. apple bank oaks international airport to be opened early and turn into an emergency feel hospital. that

let's talk to corresponding sony chang, lifers in bangkok. so tony, another consecutive 2nd day of record cases where you are and they were saying that, oh, when the numbers have been climbing up 1st over 10000 than to 12 now a 3rd more than 13600 cases. and it seems that while the government, on the one hand is imposing stricter and strict locked measures, today they close parks sporting arenas, beauty spas, things like that, that there is very little they can do about it. central, bangkok is now what the government refers to is a deep red zone. flights in and out of the capital. domestic flights have now been stopped. people i think, are expecting this to carry on for some time. these low measures actually expire this. we can expect taishan is here that they are going to continue for the foreseeable future. certainly while these numbers continue to climb, and you just have to go around the city to see the cues of people waiting to get tested, hospitals and other mobile clinics to realize that the testing system is not adequate at the same t

with tony chang in bangkok, tony said a 2 week locked down across the country. what does this mean on the ground? well, it means that people being told they have to stay at home unless they work in an essential industry such as food production or, or medical services. there is a night time curfew between 9 pm and 4 am. and i think the government is really trying to put a block on the, on the daily transmissions which arising pretty close to about 10000 a day. that's what the government minister last week was saying, they expected it to go up to the problem. moves thailand's corporate in iraq in a hard place. it's trying also to open up. we've seen in the beginning of this month, the opening of the pocket sandbox, which is an initiative to allow vaccinated tourists to come back into the country. the try and kick stuff the, the, the part of the economy which is so reliant on tourism to accounts for about 20 percent of g d p here in town and people are really suffering. they have that business has been lost for 1516 months. and the government really wants to start

on the outskirts of bangkok, let's go live now to tony chang, who joined us by scott from bangkok. so tony, this is re ignited now. what more do we know? about an hour and a half ago, the fire which the fire service had said was i was under control and almost extinguished at my shirley this morning. and for am local time. it's suddenly flared up again. we were seeing huge clouds of black smoke again with the chemicals in this plastic factory. catching fun to firemen were injured, took them by surprise, have been evacuated to local hospitals. 200 people who had been coming back to their residence is because they filled the area with safe will quickly move down again. it appears in the last couple of minutes that the phone service has, once again got the fall under control and the, the black smoke they were saying is now subsided again. but it is raining very heavily at the moment that say the point is, is actually more of a problem. this is a chemical fine and the water from that rain could, couldn't make it ignite further. but the real problem is here that there was so much of the

he's in bangkok, the capital 4th. tony, we've seen thailand slowly expand their restrictions, but it really doesn't seem to have helped. what's driving this isn't delta? yes, very much. so a couple of weeks ago we would tell the only 50 percent of the cases doctors were saying where the delta variant last week. it was more than 50 percent of those cases. and these are now clearly sweeping through time on certain areas which are being designated as dark red suns, particularly here in the capital bank. we're hearing about clusters not just tens 20 people but, but hundreds of people. and i think that that ability, that has to spread much faster as a real problem here. correspondingly, the government is trying to step up these low down measures without going into the full down as they saw last year. when the pandemic 1st came to thailand. we've now got a coffee which has been strictly enforced between the hours of 9 pm and 4. i am putting more pressure on people, not travel during the day, although they're not yet saying
