Of its biggest attacks in iraq since the sixtys 3 years ago 10 members of a Paramilitary Force that kail. And are fighting for survival the financial costs of coronavirus brains a bleak picture for the future of some zoos in the u. K. Thank you very much for joining us we start in malaysia where police have detained hundreds of refugees and Migrant Workers in kuala lumpur the raids were carried out on homes across the capital on friday tensions have been high after some malaysians blamed for an as for a surge in corona virus cases last month and for being a burden on much needed resources but elsewhere they continue to be progress in the fight against the coronavirus the United States has approved an experimental antiviral drug for emergency use on patients a major study showed the dry. This affair shorten the Recovery Time and may have reduced deaths and in spain after more than a month under lockdown strict measures are being eased and people are being allowed to exercise outside the government has plans to relax relax restrictions in phases over the coming weeks but we saw it with kuala lumpur and florence we had the details about the Malaysian Police raids. A couple of days ago malaysias senior minister said the government would detain undocumented migrants it had identified in areas under lockdown and these include several apartments in kuala lumpur where the raids were carried out on friday the police chief who was at the operation was quoted by local media as saying they would have the detaining on documented migrants because they are difficult to trace and so it made more sense to hold them in Detention Centers to prevent the spread of the coronavirus but the timing and the manner in which these rates have been carried out have been criticised the u. N. H. C. R. Said several Asylum Seekers and refugees have also been picked up and it had been informed by authorities that they were being held for the purpose of very fine their identity and were also weve also seen videos of people being held at close quarters with no opportunity for physical distancing not everyone was wearing a mosque were also getting reports that children were also detained so the raids have apostle being criticized as inhumane and theyve also been described as foolish Human Rights Watch said malaysia is making the mistake of singapore which has a high number of cases among its Migrant Workers and malaysia could be following singapore down that path now others point out that the rates seem to be at odds with the ministry of health initiated or aim which is to have as many Migrant Workers undocumented foreigners and refugees tested as far as possible but in recent weeks weve seen more anger among malaysians directed at refugees and foreigners with some accusing them for spreading the coronavirus and others saying that the resources that the country has should be used to help malaysians 1st over foreign is and why fanfic so they have accused the government of playing to the sentiment in carrying out these raids. Well lets speak to Bridget Welsh about this shes Senior Research associate at the center for east asia democratic studies at the National Taiwan university and author of embracing democracy democracy how malaysians think about politics she is via skype from kuala lumpur very good to have you with us on aljazeera brigitte tellus 1st about the reasons i mean malaysia has reported a little over 6000 cases of covert 1000 in over 100 deaths which is relatively low compared to other countries in the region why are the authorities taking such drastic measures against Migrant Workers. Well there are 2 things going on 1st of all malaysians done a very good job of cut flattening the curve and its opening up a lot of her businesses starting on monday so i think that there are concerns about the potential flashpoints of the virus starting again and of course the events in singapore dr drew attention to this in the Migrant Community and it malaysia has around 6000000. 00 migrants and of course this is a very large number and the government is trying to get a handle on it that but theyre doing it in a way that of course is raising significant cerns that over the last week weve seen a rise in hate speech and of course a lot of tensions directed particularly at the or hinder community and this of course has been sparked by the fact that there have been a number of boats in the outside of malaysia a coming from bangladesh which have not been allowed to land and of course they have course there are quite a few were hinge or refugees within malaysia itself so they were targeted or seemed to be targeted in this raid where there were groups that were divided into those that had documentation those that had documentation that recently expired and those that not have documentation and as you mention there were concerns about social distancing and others i think that this reflects internal divisions within the government right and hes also within the society about how to treat there were he injure it in malaysia it of course raises very serious questions about human rights and of course Health Concerns i was going to ask you about the internal divisions within the government would you say this is more of a political move rather than out of a Public Health concern one because even the Health Ministry had recommended having Migrant Workers and undocumented workers tested. Well what weve seen is you seen a change and prioritization so theres a move away from putting a lot of emphasis on that what is coming from the Health Ministry and we can see that it here is other concerned with security of sort of trying to take a bigger role in to managing the area of the Migrant Workers where they have been traditionally been very dominant and theres a lot of people who are seen to been allowed he here undocumented theres a lot of sensitivities across the political spectrum on this and so what we see is that that the division that is focused on rounding up particularly immigration authorities has been seen to be very active and it goes and it goes against the addition initial law of arms that the government had to be inclusive of everybody and of course use social distancing measures which have not been practiced in the recent round up some immigration raids how does the Malaysian Public feel all those some in the governments actions because this as human Rights Groups have said only increases the risk of higher number of high number of covert cases with so many migrants prompting these immigration Detention Centers are people not worried about this. Well i think that 1st of all there is a lot of resentment towards the Migrant Community this has been an issue that has been highly politicized for a long period of time government has been criticized for allowing that giving or perceived to giving in undocumented workers documents to come into the country and this is not a small number of people and its been seen as a source of corruption and there are politicians who are facing charges on these issues its affected the Political Landscape so it is a very thorny issue within malaysian politics in Malaysian Society but at the same time you know that there are also this sentiment nationalist sentiment that is growing that there is a sense that many people would prefer that the resources be focused on malaysians and not outsiders and of course some of the hate speech that weve seen in this last week has shown some of this sentiment this and this kind of exclusionary nationalist sentiment against foreigners well as you rightly pointed out quite a quite a few hours to recognize that if the health issue is going to be adequately addressed and actually the risks are going to be a 1000000 rated you have to have an Inclusive Strategy and so we see divisions within society being mirrored in humans of the activism as well as the government different responses thank you so much for talking to us about this project thank you for your insight Bridget Welsh joining us and from kuala lumpur as we mentioned spain has.
