oxygen is scarce 2 new strains of the corona virus have only made things worse national millennium. we were told to treat him at home because they have no capacity to receive more patients there's also a lack of oxygen tanks for patients and the called those a full. many have died of suffocation but his modest children were able to see their 60 year old father by improvising in emergency care unit in his home they bought an oxygen cylinder on the black market and hired physiotherapist to help him breathe don't want yeah it's a war with no gunshots but there are fatal victims the federal government and other states have helped my mouse and other cities of the amazon a state by sending oxygen tanks and that scenes indigenous people in remote villages have received the 1st shots of the chinese corona back vaccine.

corruption has put an operation in the amazon a state on the whole health professionals the elderly indigenous people considered to be more vulnerable should have been vaccinated 1st but there are over again for some people like rich businessmen have managed to escape the law in. brazil has the world's 2nd largest couvade 1000 death toll but it was late to start inoculation when it finally did a week ago there weren't enough vaccines to go around. 2000000 doses of oxford's astra zeneca vaccine have only just arrived from india. the thousands of brazilians took to the streets to protest against the government's handling of the pandemic. what the people want to vaccines for everyone people want too much and support people one on our out brazil's president datable scenario has always downplayed the virus he's once more down to the efficiency of the vaccines

that infections are also growing in big cities like some bolo and rio de janeiro some bubbles governor is imposing new restrictions to stop them from spreading monica give. rio de janeiro. italy is considering legal action against a vaccine maker astra zeneca after it announced plans to cut its supply to the european union the company has reduced its offering by 60 percent for the 1st quarter of the year blaming production problems it's a major setback for the vaccination program last week pfizer biotech said it would delay its shipments of the vaccine for up to one month stuff. mean. these delays are real setback for the 450000000 residents here in the european union the e.u. has a coordinated nation strategy for its 27 member states but it has been criticized for starting to late compared and the u.s.

and only 2 vaccines have now been approved. and now these 2 are getting really scarce in countries like germany but also it to do spain and poland there are real delays with vaccinations and some states have already stopped altogether giving japs to its residents but the companies are really struggling at the moment is building new production facilities in germany about old out of places to keep up with this enormous demand and the artists. that most come to see are in the e.u. has most of their money on they have ordered millions of these vaccines and now says it has problems in its production line and 60 percent less will be delivered after the vaccine will be approved there are also concerns that vaccines could run out in the u.s. the white house wants the centers for disease control to investigate what's behind the shortage dr amish

a senior scholar at the johns hopkins center for health security he says the vaccination nation campaign is facing several challenges. we have a logistical problem meaning that we house states that have vaccines on hand but they can't get them into people's arms quick enough and this was something that we predicted because our state health departments are over overtaxed under-valued under-resourced and they really had to scale up very quickly at the same time that we have a lot of community transmission so it's not surprising that we're having issues getting vaccine into people's arms i think it's less of a supply issue but more of making sure that these places have the resources in order to do it supply issues may crop up though as we get through this vaccination program right now it's it's a little bit of a different problem right now so i think the issue is is that there's just not enough predictability about when the supply of becoming so the federal government will allocate it to a state government and the state will then allocate it to certain vaccination centers like a hospital and it's not necessarily something that you can it's not something that

you can necessarily predict very well so you don't know how to plan how many vaccines you can give to individuals at a given time and then the other issue is that you just don't have people to put the vaccine into people's arms that there are issues with just the simple staffing that we have and we really have to change this approach in in the federal government has to help the states be able to meet them where they are and be able to be able to. really augment their staffing and i think it really needs the use of federal assets like like. like the national guard and i think we're going to get there and that's all part of the biden transition plan team as it is right now still ahead on al jazeera. eloise. causing less damage than expected but the threat of flooding remains he was considered fair and straight school west talk show host larry king dies.

those flood waters are expected to continue over the next 72 hours and in areas outside of barrow like boozy which was severely impacted 2 years ago with is barely been a recovery from psycho it i once again we're seeing a very difficult dangerous situation there at a point now where aid agencies where workers can't get out to this area be they can only reach boozy by boat and at this point even that seems impossible so there's a lot of concern around the capacity of the aid agencies as well as the government to how people we know that the national disaster institute has said about half a 1000000 people could be impacted whereas the international federation of recross has said that could go up to 1000000 people so so far we understand potentially devastating scenes coming out of mozambique and a lot of concern about how and where people will be kept safe and of course aside from the flood that they're experiencing there is a concern around the spread of disease as people don't have adequate shelter.
