of kremlin critical xtina valley have called for massive protests in moscow and st petersburg on wednesday as i mentioned earlier it's happening as the health of the opposition figure rapidly deteriorates the valley's daughter was called upon russia to allow her medical treatment after doctors warned he's now at risk of kidney failure he was jailed in february for violating parole conditions as a result of travelling to germany for treatment after being poisoned. have you ever seen with your own aunt's house someone is killed you are seeing it right now but whatever the urge people have to look the other way and not think about it change the subject that doesn't change the fact that alexina violently is being killed in a terrible way and in front of everyone's eyes. the bellies doctors say about being denied access to their patient is physician and head of the alliance of doctors says they spent hours outside the prison were not allowed to see him. but we came

as doctors but it's cruel and monstrous to deny access to a dying patient we will call the medical unit and try to find out what's going on we'll keep trying but at the moment we've done everything we can we can't do anything else. for the girls to go. through we tried to get in touch with the prisons authorities but nothing happened it's not clear what's happening alexa's condition is not clear either the situation might be very serious and critical i think we need to take all the measures to resolve it for the sake of the man so sure coles is the executive director of the anticorruption foundation and a friend of ellie he says president clinton will be carefully considering how to react. no ali is today on the 19th day of his hunger strike hunger strike is not something that people take lightly it's the measure of last resort the situation deteriorated on friday when we received his blood test which showed up

normal level of the touch which is associated with imminent risk of getting a failer and. heart issues so we are indeed very worried i think the count is in days until he. is likely to given in terms of incentive for putting in keeping the well a life i think it is indeed. and during his calculations i mean he was a casual label of killer has been casually applied to him by not of the president biden but if not all may die in prison with all of a global attention focused on him as the most important principle that a prisoner nowadays in the world i think this label of killer. will stick with him for good for ever.

well this carly experiencing its highest infection rate. pandemic despite the ongoing vaccination rollout fuelling the rise in india has reported more than 261000 new cases on sunday scientists is studying a new variant with a double mutation to see if it's behind. and millions of pilgrims attending the annual festival have been ordered to quarantine for 2 weeks if they return to the capital new delhi more than 3 and a half 1000 people have tested positive at the festival with help officials warning it could be a super spreader event the government is promising action the jaw. is that of the birds reserved for coverage 19 patients in our hospitals are filling up quickly and the patients are being admitted to the hospitals at a very rapid rate there's especially

a shortage of intensive care unit fewer than $100.00 i.c.u. beds are now available in the whole of delhi. corona virus infections and argentine there are at their peak with over $22000.00 cases reported daily it comes as the controversy of the shipment of 864000 doses of astra zeneca from a kovacs the government has imposed tougher restrictions including a 3 week nighttime curfew in an effort to contain the new wave of infections brazil's medical system is on the brink of collapse and made a surge of coronavirus cases in deaths the country has been reporting at the highest number of deaths worldwide but the daily told it fall on sunday to the lowest in the past week with 1600 deaths let's speak now to daniel in the argentine capital when a side is so it's all about argentina peak cases there now is the vaccine roll out making any dent. unfortunately

not yet came i think is the general feeling here the vaccines are rising if you as you've mentioned but not in great enough numbers despite the best efforts of the government to get them here to one osiris and then spread them around distribute them around at this huge country elderly people around much of the country have been vaccinated received at least the 1st those key workers are the vulnerable people but in general it's reach less than 10 percent of the the population 42000000 people we've had 59000 deaths as you mentioned record high numbers of infections and deaths yet again no the problem is that it's not having an impact yet and that is much the case in the rest of latin america we have these high figures figures going up government restrictions being imposed restrictions but people increasingly protesting against them we had demonstrations here on saturday in a in one of cyrus with parents wanting their children to continue going to school despite

the government saying the school should be closed until the end of the month the colombian capital bogota you have workers saying they simply couldn't afford to stay at home and they needed to go out to work to be able to feed their families so each time these new waves come along the figures go up the only option open so many government are further restrictions yet public defiance of those stricture restrictions seems to get ever stronger all right thank you for that daniel sharma there in when a side is. let's take a look now at how cause at 19 is affecting young children and top doctors in brazil have seen an alarming rise in the number of babies dying from the virus of recent weeks about 1300 deaths result just brazil and india there are reports of an increasing number of young children now showing severe symptoms compared to what we saw last year in the u.s. the fatality rate among kids remains low but there have been at least 3500000

positive cases of children or dr. c. is a doctor specializing in internal medicine in brazil she says babies dying from covert 19 is due to the increase in infections in the country. well 25 percent of deaths due to kovan $1000.00 in children have occurred this year alone so when you have high rates of adults infected with current a virus you expect more children to be infected as well this is definitely the main reason why we're seeing such high numbers in children and also brazilian population tends to be younger than some countries so it is likely that you'll see more cases in younger people as well. according to c.d.c. data destitute kovac in children corresponds to around 0.2 percent of the deaths but when you have hundreds of thousands of people dying due to covert like

you have in brazil we expect that some hundreds of deaths will occur among children as well and we still don't know whether that be one variant the so-called one that was very and is more causes more severe illness than other variants either in the adults are in children though like we only know that it's more transmissible but it is quite possible that it causes more severe illness as well but there are 2 other factors that i believe they're also responsible for this the 1st is a problem we have also in the outs in brazil there is a misconception that is backed up by our government unfortunately that could 1000 is not such a bad problem that we should in worry too much about it and when it comes to children that's even more so so many people they don't even know that children can do to kovan 19 so they don't worry too much that their child will get infected.
