Increased with no signs the government has managed to flatten the curve. Im melissa chan and welcome to news asia researchers in australia have identified and mapped more than 380 suspected detention facilities and she that northwestern part of china where the government has in turn hundreds of thousands possibly more than a 1000000 muslim minorities including the weekers thats 100 more facilities than previously known and they used to satellite images to build their database one trend has stood out the communist party is building more high Security Prisons and decommissioning the lower security ones in other words in the last 3 years theyve doubled down on this crackdown despite growing international. Well pressure and whats happening directly contradicts beijings narrative china 1st tried to deny the existence of cannes and then it said most people in there have returned home and now with these latest revelations this is what the Chinese Foreign ministry said. When outputs and. Socalled detention camps have never existed in sheehan joan we have repeatedly responded to various charney relations reports fabricated obvious trailing Strategic Policy institute altered occurred to him by the show up although joining us is Nathan Risser of the australian Strategic Policy institute a think tank that made these discoveries and tracked these changes nathan tell us more about what you found and it was events for having me basically what we found is an extensive detention regime that stretches across the whole of singeing and is very enduring and very permanent in its nature we found that 60 camps in the last year also weve seen considerable construction and there are a number that have still sort of under construction today and in the last few hours you guys have also released some new information about the systemic destruction of mosques there as well tell me more about that. Yes so we actually wanted to focus in trying to get a quantified number of how many and estimate at least of how many months in change and have been destroyed under this policy so we set out to find as many mosques as we could there were as many mosques as possible before 2017 as a part of this we found about 600 mosques a very across change and and of all of those we sort of looked at them and assess their current condition and we found that about a 3rd of them had been demolished and about a 3rd of them had been damaged so you know look you know we found about 16000 mosques engine jet hated being damaged or destroyed as part of the Systematic Campaign of cultural or asia in changing that has mostly been launched since 2017. Now looking through these satellite images spending hours trying to determine whether what youre seeing is a place thats meant to imprison people are not what goes through your mind and how do you feel. So a lot of it honestly is just scouring satellite imagery hours and hours so for example at the start of this project we had about 100. 00 facilities that we knew from primary source evidence which is journalists or construction tended is where actually our detention facilities and so looking at that we built an idea of what these facilities looked like we saw the 4 different is the 4 Different Levels of securitize ation and the reeducation camps the Detention Centers and the prisons following that with that sort of knowledge you had were just scour a satellite scour satellite imagery 1000 hours and sort of pick out on a map all the facilities that looked and basically matched this profile so we were aided in that for example by looking at satellite light not satellite imagery that short sort of showed these facilities popping up out of the desert along with just a lot of High Resolution imagery such as what youd see in google earth. Honestly what we were struck by was this scale and the injuring nature of all of these facilities and the fact that this detention regime isnt something temporary its not reeducation where they get released after 18 months but its a Long Term Strategy of detention and in many ways in and for many people its just removing them from society because they were considered to be true dangerous or perhaps to wait on non harm. Is there anything the world can give you i mean the Chinese Government has continued building more facilities even as the International Community has made more and more noise about these camps. I think what we look at now is probably past the peak in that it seems as though as decent number of people genuinely have been released into Different Levels of residential dental residential detention and forced labor programs and thats not ideal but its better than them being detained in these prison systems and i think the International Pressure is how do you look to do with that. Through the through there through the chinese authorities this needs to make economic sense in a way and theyre doing that through these forced labor programs and by manufacturing and that relies on the rest of the world buying these products so we hope that this research into the enduring nature and sort of complete nature of his detention should should teach western companies and western Decision Makers that basically buying products from changing and being complicit in the system of detention is not ok Nathan Risser thank you. Indonesia now has the 2nd highest death toll from covert 19 in all asia and theres no sign that the coronavirus is slowing down there anytime soon even though jakarta has reinstated a partial lockdown this week the country hit a record daily high 4200 new infections and with low testing rates Health Officials say the number is probably much higher and there are some close thats just the case theyve never seen anything like it grave diggers and jakarta now work around the clock racing to dig up to 40 burial plots a day before the pandemic it was just 10 its a job that carries the risk of contagion and offers a frontline view of covance tragic toll. Were not complaining about how many bodies we bury every day and. It was very unfortunate for those who died they died in vain because of others who didnt comply with prevention protocols to jakarta is now the epicenter of indonesias corona virus outbreak. The city alone is seeing more than 1000 new daily cases more than double the average caseload from early august a surge thats prompted another Lockdown People are supposed to work study and pray at home for Business Owners it could spell ruin. We only just managed to survive the 1st round of large scale social restrictions and here comes another one but for now im just relieved that were barely surviving but it will definitely cause an impact on our income and. A tough call for jakartas governor to reinstate restrictions but he says its necessary to help hospitals cope and keep people alive its not enough for us to see theyre doing good because that. Is good compared to other places. But for now the grim task of burying the dead continues. Without a vaccine stain apart is the only way to stop the viruses spread and slow down the loss of life joining us as correspondent. In jakarta predict give us a sense of what it feels like to be in jakarta right now are people scared are they masked up. Yet there arent there i mean if you look in the streets and other places you can see some people are quite a bit is it Wearing Masks still not everyones very them and being the authorities so ruled out of mass patrol as they have recorded more than 22000 housebroken calls violators and theyve given you know verbal warnings to progressive finds and im sure youve heard about this does social work on a trend from digging great is for those who have died of cooking 1000 to live in the ground but yet now were back under martial law doubt less strict than before and mean that curves are more relaxed than when they were 1st implemented bacon roll and yet in recent weeks weve seen any increase in positive cases at another record in your eyes. People have confidence in their government to contain the pandemic well i mean and he continues to claim more lives are as a country end flowing as by in. Corona virus infection rate in a capital the recent days i guess i think its safe to say that the level of confidence in governments ability to handle this crisis has been decreased i mean it recent weeks weve seen an increase of positive cases another record daily rise and the experts says that the rise in cases this much is down to more widespread testing melissa. And what about the economy. Last month in tunisia and you didnt economy contracted for the 1st time in over 2 decades and our g. D. P. Is projected it is expected to shrink even further than projected in. The 3rd quarter poured into the finance minister but the minute so sad that the economy can back yes that is for its far should love to have in a country because it now still allows the offices to open with 50 percent capacity but it is unlikely for us to avoid the recession and as the economy grows. Its on the 3rd and 4th quarter is that suspected to be negative now theres been calls to at least some calls to delay elections scheduled for december because of the pandemic what do most indonesians think about that and is that a real serious consideration majority of public wants the elections to be delayed actually and the surveys have found that most indonesians disagree with the governments decision to hold me to any simultaneous regine of the elections on december as you know uncertainty remains over when the pandemic will add but apparently that the government has insistent on the internet you elections on september saying that the death of percy should go on despite the outbreak and among the reasons the government didnt want the 270. 00 regents to be chaired by acting. Head at the same time because theyre not allowed to wreckage policy so but now that he has urged the election organizers to have that direct Campaign Rally is an attorney to online or you know cast it campaigns instead listen. To my poetry thank you. Thats a friend now thank you for watching and well see you next time good bye. Combating the corona pandemic. Where does research stand. What are scientists learning. Background information and news. Our corona update. With 19 special next on d w. Every day counts for us and for our planet. Global ideas its all this way to bring you more conservation. To make sickness green. How can we protect capital. We can make a difference a. Good mind to use the environmental series against the 3000 double dog. The covered 19 pandemic has exposed weaknesses in the worlds ability to track and respond to major Infectious Disease outbreaks. 2014 to 16 a boler epidemic in west africa showed a long standing weaknesses in the International Health system and how for that it was for a major outbreak. For years on end even countries thought to have strong response capabilities failed to detect the early signs of corona virus outbreaks or respond quickly enough meant that Community Transmission of the virus was already well established before governments could react. Think tanks and Public PolicyInstitute Like have been pushing for massive investment in outbreak response and care capacity. Demick preparedness has been described as a Global Public good. And yet globally its been left up to National PublicHealth Systems to carry the largest burden of cases and the bulk of the costs. Outbreaks and resurgence is after and a virus cases are stretching public Health Systems the world over local and National Governments keep having to make drastic measures for to prevent services being overwhelmed they have to act fast to get ahead of this virus. Stagnation in a place where people would normally be having fun this is not how big had imagined things his fair had only just opened when he had to close it down again because of a drastic increase in corona numbers in the west philly and city of ham. Every has ruled rigorously put our heart and soul into this weeks of work its really tough its shocking we havent earned any money or year and now were having to write off potential income. And all of this because of a single wedding celebration where more than 100 people were infected with the coronavirus. Are not to blame as far as anyone can tell there hasnt been a single instance anywhere of numbers going up in any way around a temporary leader ground nonetheless or the 1st to feel the full impact and its frankly depressing that we are the ones who always end up paying the price of. The closure of the funfair was only one of the measures ordered by mayor. In a bid to get infection rates under control he says hes now looking at how private festivities can be better monitored. Were keeping a 150 as the upper limit in how because we dont want anybody to start canceling a wedding or a Silver Wedding anniversary. But up to 25 people these occasions dont have to be registered from 25 to 50 there must be advance notice so that we know whats happening and where and from 50 to 150 they are subject to approval and well be taking a very close look. Good no hint many and ham are asking themselves how the couple in question could have been so reasonable. So far everybody who is infected has been tracked down the mayor is relying on volunteers who trace possible victims people like retired doctor. Or dusky truly great really pushes you to your limits especially for people working at the local Health Offices who are organizing this whole operation its a real pity that its had to come to this i personally believe it could have been avoided meanwhile fairground operate it was really is now faced with the dismantling of his fair. I just hope we can get back to life as normal that we can fund fairs and other festivals as we always have and i hope we can help make people a little bit happy. For now though phone is on hold. But we can now speak to dr emanuel who is a professor of Health Care Management at the university of pennsylvania in the u. S. When months into this pandemic now dr emanuel and global Health Systems are they now in a better position to cope with the coronavirus outbreaks or theyve been weakened by these months of sickness no i think in general certainly and in the advanced countries they are better able we know how to manage patients better we know not to into bait them to give them high flow oxygen we know how to use anticoagulants we know to use dex the methods sound so we have a lot more knowledge about how to manage these patients and which ones really need to be in the intensive care unit none the less if you have a large number of cases you will can overwhelm the system and i believe the french are you know teetering that problem right now yeah what do you think i mean our. Advanced countries any more ready for a 2nd wave than they might have been for the 1st time particularly saying that some of these 2nd occurrences are coming with even more all cases than the 1st one. Yes that is worrisome they look the systems can be overwhelmed if you have too many cases we do i think have again better management but we also need to have better Search Capacity the ability to quickly put up temporary facilities in you know mobile units or tents and thats going to be necessary we you know we predict that youre going to have repeated waves here for the you know influenza of 1809198 also extended to 920. 00 that were you know 4 waves of it actually more small echoes of it so weve got to be prepared for that to happen and part of that preparation the Search Capacity. During the course of this pandemic have we seen since styles of public Health System that are working better than others its. We have i mean systems that were able to quickly implement. Testing. Contact tracing and suppression theyve kept the number of cases very low you can look at taiwan singapore south korea japan has real models here germany itself did a remarkably good job of keeping the death rate extremely low so there are places that have done well but even places that search like italy they were able to put Public Health measures in place the social distancing the avoiding crowds the facemask wearing the closing of not essential businesses and 8 or 10 weeks they were able to bring the numbers very very low and that does show you that even without a vaccine using Public Health measures you can actually bring the case numbers low and then begin to open up the economy its very important you know want to have the case numbers low life can resume not completely to normal but wots of freedoms can be reintroduced under those circumstances and then Health Systems on the other side of that though weve actually seen performing less well than we thought they might have under these conditions. Yes the United States is a really good example of that weve just done a terrible job and in large measure the terrible job has been the fact that weve had you know were a very big country of 4 times the size of germany for example and weve had a haphazard response so some states are doing a very good job of closing out essential businesses wearing face masks this and say well other states like georgia and florida just arent and once that happens people travel they bring the virus with them and it reignites cases so we saw it go from new york to the south and the west and then up the midwest in the United States and its raging where were back up to double the number of cases we had in june because states like wisconsin and missouri in the middle of the country are just having large scale spread because they ignore the Public Health measures its been very tough for the United States doctors they feel the manual thank you so much for joining us thank you for. Now its time for one of your questions to our science correspondent Derek Williams today comes from someone calling themselves eric cartman. How do you make a vaccine for something that mutates. I get asked this a lot to answer we have to look at the process of evolution just like with living organisms the genetic code that governs how a virus is made changes from generation to generation sometimes in small ways sometimes in big ones the progeny if they survive eventually will become separate strains that are distinct from their common ancestor their genetic code has changed and and that can change how they look at their structure and also how they interact with potential hosts for example whether they can cause more or less severe illness whats key to creating a vaccine is the speed at which these changes occur in viruses like the ones that cause influenza for example which have genomes that are less stable or the rate of change is so rapid and random that we need a new vaccine to fight them every year we have to play catch up with flu bugs all the time fortunately due to the way that sars makes copies of itself its genome remains relatively stable as far as we can tell a worldwide there isnt a lot of genetic variation yet among all the Novel Coronavirus is circulating in different parts of the planet and because those groups are so homogeneous theoretically a vaccine that can prevent one should be able to prevent them all whats interesting and. And the scary is that is that when we start to prevent infections with a vaccine will also start forcing sars cove to change in ways that will allow it to get around the vaccine but but thats a different question. And we will have more questions to our science correspondent Barry Williams next time around now lets have a look at how the world is doing in terms of coronavirus cases. A look at takes it from 209 countries and territories over the past 4 weeks tells us the number of new cases has doubled or worse in 35 countries they also increased though to a lesser degree in a further 77 countries 6 countries have seen case numbers rising at around the same rate 61 countries have seen their new coverage 19 positive cases go down by anything up to half and 21 have seen them in more than half of. 9 countries have reported no new cases for 4 weeks in a row. Is that biography compared with the last few weeks remember the battle is won when that entire chart is blue we still have a long way to go. But we will eventually get that thats all from this column 19 specially if you want from more from us as a dedicated section of the the we dot com by. Good.
