around the world 60000000 doses have gone to 76 countries as part of aid and commercial agreements but india recorded its highest number of carbon of r.'s cases in 5 months this week and the government says it must now prioritize local supply the director general of the world health organization says that's understandable but it's important and the a continues to export vaccines we're already in discussion to keep a balance so that they can use locally but at the same time continue to provide. their countries vaccines from the seed and institute of india. the c m institute of india which is making the oxford astra zeneca vaccine is the world's largest manufacturer and the biggest contributor to the un back to back from lyons india's decision to reduce exports is already being

felt all the seeds more medium as you go and buy vaccines from a country pay for it part of the shipment arrives in the country and want to 2nd plane flies there their attorney general blocks the shipment these are unpredictable things that we face but they will be some relief in india itself health workers in maharashtra the worst affected and 2nd most populous state are struggling to deal with the highest number of cases since the pandemic began. about the better when they were no beds available for them here it is also a shortage of resident doctors even the resident doctors who are available overloaded with work and getting enough coronating days there is also a shortage of supplies from the administration to an extent that is being resolved but it's not fast enough because the number of patients is so hard as cases rise the government has faced criticism that its export had more doses them for the 58000000 of its own citizens. you have so far been inoculated the government is

running behind its own backs a nation 300000000 people all this is to address that is expanding the criteria eligible for taxes as a chance to pay enough it's an occupation dr elizabeth warren an al jazeera. as a situation in india meanwhile is the brazil and u.k. variants of covert $1000.00 tighten their grip on latin america chile as government is considering postponing an election for the 11th of april that was supposed to select the members that would draft a new constitution in santiago infections have risen 57 percent in 2 weeks despite having the world's fastest vaccination program meanwhile brazil makes up a quarter of global daily coronavirus tests it's expected its daily desk toll could soon reach 4000 argentina has banned the travel to and from chile brazil and mexico well let's go live now to daniel who joins us now from windows either so

than you or do we know about the measures being introduced for example in argentina . well one of the reasons barbara that those measures have been introduced is because the vaccines have been slow so slow in arriving as you were just talking about from india only 6 percent of argentina's 44000000 population have had their 1st vaccine less than 2 percent their 2nd vaccine so as they see that situation worsening in neighboring countries like chile like brazil the government feels obliged to then impose measures like suspending flights from brazil chile and from mexico so they will no longer be coming i think going or coming to argentina because they're looking over the border and seeing those horrendous images especially of the extra virulent p one and p 2 variants which is in brazil is prevalent in other countries as hit per peru recently so argentina

trying to limit the number of people coming in and also arjun times despite all the warnings many still going on vacation to the brazilian beaches coming back to argentina with infections school groups going on the holidays trying to limit that there will also be tighter restrictions on travelers returning to argentina tests as they come into the airport monitoring them for the next week or so to try to keep those numbers down and 55000 or more than 55000 have died in argentina 2200000 people infected serious but not as bad as neighboring countries the hospitals coping just about the argentine government fearing a 2nd wave trying to limit those numbers keep them down by imposing these new measures as of today saturday you mentioned some argentinian still going on holiday in brazil and the brazil figures are pretty shocking now the daily coronavirus

deaths there make up a quarter of the global daily death toll which is pretty astounding so tell us a little bit about this corps these calls for an urgent nationwide strategy in brazil. what they have been causing the way since the beginning of the pandemic for a nation wide strategy the problem is brazil has a president in job also nardo who doesn't believe it seems in the seriousness of the pandemic and has done everything he can to undermine measures to fight the coronavirus so what we now have are individual states going it going on their own to try to find solutions to the problem we have city councils like the one in rio de janiero which has closed its beaches to try to limit the numbers the governor of . the state which has a population of more than $40000000.00 bigger than most countries is now doing a deal with the brazilian institute the institute to develop their own virus they

want to start to do clinical trials in brazil fairly soon so they don't have to wait for a national program to bring in the vaccines which as i say president also nardo has done very little to try to instigate so you have a piecemeal approach in many ways but medical teams. are professionals asking for a national program to try to fight the virus which has killed more than 307000 brazilians the 2nd worst in the world after the united states coming up with or more than 12000000 people infected and the numbers going up especially because of these extreme affection variants the p one and p 2 which has hit the country extremely hard most hospitals around the country maximum capacity our national program is what many people are calling for in the face of the national government's efforts and trying there with the latest from well as it is daniel

increasingly iran has been turning to russia and china especially since the former us president donald trump imposed sanctions on iran sanctions are still in place today but this visit does come at a time where china has reportedly stepped up its purchase of in direct oil sales for from iran and also this is the highest chinese official that's visited iran since the election of president joe biden in january so both politically and economically iran has been turning to russia and china and back last year in october when the united states and the president donald trump was planning to put forth a motion to the united nations to stop an arms embargo being lifted the foreign ministry here told us that their understanding was and that they were confident that russia and china would intervene with a veto but this deal does have some crew does have some critics inside the country even though it's been backed by the highest authority the supreme leader ayatollah

ali khamenei now the former president mahmoud ahmadinejad said that the details of this deal had not been made available to the public and the squid not be really passed by parliament but there were also rumors that iran would be handing over control of some of its islands to china now have denied that this said that there's nothing inside the deal that gives any country control of islands all chinese military forces presence in the country but it does have widespread political support inside this country and it's a way for iran to be independent and build a country in an economy that is sanctions resilient. so to come here on al-jazeera was calling out violent attacks against asian americans protests get underway across the u.s. news stuck in the suez still a dutch salvage firm hopes it can solve a $400000000.00 an hour problem.

hope to be happier as a result. a simple life on al-jazeera. of the back is a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera man mars military has again turned on its own people killing at least 114 unarmed civilians according to local media there's been international condemnation of the violence the us ambassador to me and maher describing the bloodshed as horrifying. the delivery of vaccines to developing countries assume the u.n. backed kovacs program could be pushed back by weeks because of the slowdown of

exports from a major india producer indian government has told international buyers it will now have to keep more of any available doses after rising infections and china and iran have signed a landmark 25 year cooperation agreement in a challenge to the by the administration the deal which has been in the works since 2016 was signed by chinese foreign minister one year and is a radiant counterpart. people in new york are protesting against the recent rise in acts of violence against asian americans. similar rallies are expected to take place in other cities across the u.s. there has been a sharp rise in violence and discrimination against people of asian descent since the start of the coded 1000 pandemic which many blame on china concern in the asian

community increased after 6 women of asian descent were shot dead in atlanta this funds. well it speak the castro was at a rally in washington d.c. so tell us about the rally what's turnout be like. a barber of this rally began a few hours ago and actually just in the last few minutes it's been wrapping up but it was a pretty good turnout a few 100 people fewer than there were here last weekend but the activists here said that they were in a keep up the pressure because even as the victims of those georgia shootings 6 of whom were asian american women even as they are being laid to rest this weekend the number of attacks on asian americans across the country continue to grow these are attacks have been captured on surveillance cameras in various cities older people being pushed to the ground unprovoked stabbings people being slashed in the face and of course the racial slurs and comments that many in the asian american

community have grown accustomed to and they said that this is simply a pass to stop that it's been enough the group stopped a.p.i. hate has accumulated reports of more than 3800 incidents of hate against asian americans just in this past year and its founders say that very much to blame is former president donald trump and his rhetoric blaming the coded pandemic on china using racial slurs to describe the virus and that's why the activists were out here today also in new york city and los angeles many other places and 60 cities all together and what they're calling a day of action to protect asian americans demand that these attacks against them stop and so hoodie and light of everything that you've just explained why there is still reluctance among some members of the police the classify the attacks against asian americans as hate crimes. right

and some have been classified as hague. time for the most obvious one of course the killing of the 8 victims and nearly into georgia that has not been labeled a hate crime the suspected shooter they're charged with murder but so far no hate crime charges and that has many of these protesters incensed they say to blame is the long history of racism and discrimination against asians in the united states that has similar beneath the surface but that has been little talked about unlike discrimination against other ethnic groups and races to hate against asians historically it's not something that public schools have to teach students in their education get in the 1800s the chinese exclusion act prohibited chinese people from coming to the united states and of course the world war 2 and term in camps targeting u.s. citizens of japanese descent and even in the 1980s much more recent history

a chinese man lynched in detroit michigan and his attackers 2 white men never serving time prison worse his murder all of that the activists here say is enough and there are plenty of people too protesting barbara who are not those who come out for every protest but simply people who say that they are fearful for their lives and for the lives of their loved ones and that again they need to stop that issue kustra with the latest there from washington d.c. heidi thank you. well nearly 200 people including foreigners are still trapped in a hotel in northern mozambique as fighting rages for a forced day i'm a rule a hotel is in power which has been under attack by isolating fighters the government is trying to take control of the situation in the coastal town where several people have reportedly been killed or just made up or man is

a senior researcher at the armed conflict location an event data project she says the recent attacks are showing a level of sophistication in guerrilla fighting not seen in the region before. this is a tactic has been brewing for some time now we have seen for attacks preceding this it back. in terms of preparation we have seen the insurgents intermittently and pushing remote actually shrouds and isolating poem our local dissatisfaction again security forces and the insurgents the opportunity to proceed work gaining a momentous victory against the government i foresee sadly too sane and it's a human tragedy beyond believe that defect speak for themselves i feel i foresee the insurgency as we have seen now in pommel to proceed this if is the question and

the level of poor nation tells me that we are experiencing guerrilla fighting training these fighters being involved in directing and i do foresee that the decks as we have seen confined to non garri most somewhat of a pariah bomb are due to the rain season that is coming to an end when the game starts spreading south and i am worried that move weird hour will be the next target of attack b. is no u.-turn the is no quick fix the insurgency is directing the momentum and they simply no end in sight no attempt serving made to move the ship that's been blocking the suez canal in egypt for the past 5 days that that salvage firm working to free the evergreen says it could be successful by the start of next week the start of the vessel is now free and they're hoping that higher tides and

the arrival of 2 more tug boats on sunday will help the operation. well $321.00 ships are now blocked on either side of the canal and this is having a flow on effect on the global economy or oil prices jumped 4 percent on friday both west texas intermediate crude futures and brant crude prices $1740000.00 barrels or about 5 percent of all oil shipped last year when through the canal the suez canal handles about 12 percent of global trade and lloyd's list says each day of blockage disrupts more than $9600000000.00 worth of goods that's almost $400000000.00 an hour well the traffic jam at both ends of the canal is forcing shipping companies to consider taking the longer route around south africa's cape of good hope this adds about 12 days to the journey the investigation into the incident itself is continuing. it could have been technical

or human have that will be revealed through the investigation many different mistakes might be the reason but we cannot prove anything yet the only clear reason is that there was strong winds under some storm but they might not be the only reasons and you'll this will be revealed during the investigation you know the u.k. based food delivery company delivery room was used to be listed on the london stock exchange in just a few weeks but some of its writer is say it's an exploitative business model that makes it impossible to earn a decent living there urging the public to think about how they get their takeaways and the reports. get paid for the time we get paid for pick up we get paid for drop off shot hussein has been a delivery writer in london for 5 years he says when he started working with a service he made decent money and could help support his parents but as delivery has taken on more riders and switched to a complex algorithm to calculate pay it's become harder now $26.00 chef calculates

his average hourly earnings at below half the adult minimum wage or less than $6.00 now with the fees so low are as he had to cut back on a lot of things the only thing that's actually keeping me afloat is universal credit and. government scheme even. even buy the parts for my bike or even fix my bike out here actually rely on the government scheme to actually. find the money shafts one of the delivery workers who took part in a nationwide survey it analyzed thousands of invoices collected by the independent workers' union of great britain representing people in what's known as the gig economy it found that a 3rd of delivery earned less than the i don't minimum wage the union says conditions are pushing some workers to do longer hours pushing themselves to the limit but i've seen from my experiences i've seen writers turning up to work with broken limbs hands in cars forcing themselves to work i've seen women cycling well

into their pregnancies because they can't afford to have the time off we see women coming back to work 2 weeks after giving birth because they don't have to money to take maternity leave this is what looking for me looks like this is the business model that deliver a champ in a delivery room says it has 50000 writers who appreciate the flexibility the work provides and it's dismissed the new survey as one representative in a statement to the press delivery said writers in the u.k. are paid for each delivery they choose to complete and earn 13 pounds an hour on average out busiest times we communicate with thousands of writers every week and satisfaction is current. at an all time high but the company knows it's under pressure to change delivery was due to be listed on the stock exchange next month but several of the u.k.'s biggest investors say they won't be buying any shares because of concerns about how the firm treats its workers and the status of the riders cost of self employed contractors is under question the supreme court

recently ruled against which operates a similar model the taxi companies now granted all of its drivers holiday pay a guaranteed minimum wage and pension contributions it could have legal implications for other gig economy firms shaphan hundreds of other riders are planning to strike when delivering launches on the stock market they want the public to take part in a boycott at the same time they say the jobs precarious enough without having to struggle to earn minimum wage al-jazeera london. and now a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera mian lies military has again turned on its own people killing at least 114 unarmed civilians according to local radio.
