government hospitals don't have enough and health ministry official says thousands of cylinders are being hosted by individuals for private medical or industrial use . but their recent hope this is a country's largest privately owned steel factory it has stopped all production losing about $30000.00 u.s. dollars a day to provide the oxygen to hospitals for free i'm told and then get . back up. with it every day. even if not nearly enough to make that one patient is taking almost. 3. or. even it is impossible for anyone. to cope with this. total collapse of the health care system but government wants to

reach hard immunity to the disease through vaccinations as quickly as possible. 1000000 people have so far hired the fastow's of the u.n. called a distributed astra zeneca vaccine but the supplies are running low and there's an insight into about the availability of astra zeneca for the 2nd jobs chuckles hospital has vaccinated about 1000 people but authorities are concerned about those falling ill and dying in rural villages so what have we done now we've required that every person who dies in matter of course has to be tested for it. did some of them before did at home especially all the people back in a look at tells us he wants the government to provide facilities for patients who cannot afford private hospitals so they don't go through the same trauma he's family catherine saw al-jazeera. the european union has signed

a deal with pfizer by on track for the supply of up to 1800000000 doses of their covert 1000 vaccine this year companies have already agreed to deliver 600000000 doses under 2 previous contracts e.u. countries a pinning their hopes on vaccine wants to help contain a 3rd wave of the virus stephanie decker reports from berlin for many this moment is a long time coming bringing with it hope that soon life could at least partly return to normal we've come to on this on in my seventy's i'm not interacting with many people these days i would like to see my children and grandchildren again i hope once i'm fully vaccinated that i can say hey here is your grandfather germany's had a slow start to its vaccination campaign around 90 percent of people have had one job and around 6 percent have been fully vaccinated the moment they come out that says the moment we vaccinate around 660 people a day and our maximum capacity is around 1000 but we don't have enough of the

vaccines and that's why we come back snake as many as we could the moderna and pfizer biotech vaccines are being used here at the moment this is the recovery area and people are being told to wait around 30 minutes to make sure they don't have any side effect now it's not at full capacity we're being told that this is mainly because of a bureaucratic complicated registration process and also simply a lack of. it's a message we hear repeatedly we don't have. as many as we need the policy on the. the buying of the vaccination goals this was led to a situation where we are of the moment. the european union decided on a communal buying program but it's been hit by numerous supply problems in delays scientists say the vaccine is the best option for controlling the spread and the symptoms symptoms that can be unpredictable this clinic in the north west of

germany is dealing with what's called the long term cove it does it has. you know when these patients are often between 18 and 50 years old they symptoms team to return after a period of remission of about one to 4 months suddenly they develop symptoms of take and a sudden decline in their ability to perform high corish says even taking a shower can exhaust her and often forces her to have to take a nap one country my honest not you can't just body contrast fear and ma and and then the question is how understanding will people be when i get her. there is much deal to learn about the virus and the longer it takes for governments to vaccinate their populations the longer it will take to contain it stephanie decker al-jazeera berlin. plenty more still ahead on this new siren clearing we'll tell you what the

u.s. climate envoy is praising on day 2 of a global summit it's a race against time in the search for a missing in tunisia a submarine that spawning a low on oxygen pass a bad day for those baseball fans in cincinnati far out it will be here with your sports later this news at. the at. the new malaria vaccine is being hailed as a possible game changer in the fight to eliminate the disease the oxford institute jabbers 77 percent effective in stopping infections it's now entering larger human trials to rule out any side effects the area kills half a 1000000 people every year many of them children. as more from a butcher in nigeria one of the country's worst affected by malaria. it's a very serious problem niger accounts for more than 20 percent of cases global

cases and nearly 20 percent of malaria deaths here and more than half the population is at risk of contracting malaria in fact a lot some statistics indicate that as much as 80 to 90 percent of the population is exposed to malaria so with the coming of this vaccine it will be welcome development for many the prevalence rate of malaria he's is very very high in fact 80 to 90 percent of the population is a risk and however the question is how many people will take the money of vaccine we remember what happened to the test of the testing of another but seen in connel some years back by pfizer which is for a many judges that killed them out of people it was scandalous here and then now we having some resistance in such a part of the country and bowed to the covered 19 in fact if a lot of people were warm up to the idea of malaria vaccine then it will

drastically cut in front and maternal death rates in nigeria in fact maternal death rates in nigeria because of my data caused by malaria is up to 11 percent right now so if that happens it will be good news for health workers it will be good news for a lot of people exposed to malaria in nigeria. well leaders are holding a virtual meeting on climate change for a 2nd day yes climate and by john kerry opened the session with praise for the renewed its commitments by many countries president joe biden has already pledged to hollow of u.s. emissions by 2030 china says it will phase a sense use of coal from 2026. i think it's fair to say there is a new beginning. as the world is moving towards the actions necessary to keep $1.00 degrees is the limit on the warming of the planet

governments and markets we learned yesterday are really tuning in to the urgency but more than that they're recognizing the remarkable opportunity the economic opportunity we have here with our white house correspondent kimberly home is in washington d.c. foreigners can believe what to expect saying it's a day to the summits well after making those bold promises on how to reduce emissions from the united states' standpoint now we're going to hear from the u.s. president as well as his cabinet on how he aims to achieve this so to that end we will be hearing from his trip rather transportation secretary pete british who is expected to announce some very tough a fuel economy and emission standards with respect to vehicles that will be put in place as early as july we also know that we will be hearing about new investments in the next generation of technology when it comes to solar when it comes to

electric vehicles as well we're going to be hearing from the private sector so we'll be hearing from business leaders like michael bloomberg bloomberg and also bill gates as they discuss the role that they see for the sort of private industry in order to try and work with government to achieve some of these ambitious goals. and kimberly have a sissel playing at home are americans as enthused about the climate agenda as their commander in chief. well it depends on where you sit on the political spectrum you know those that support president biden are embracing this this is what they ask for when they elected him but there 6 are members of the democratic party particularly what are known as progressives they're sort of the further left democrats as well as republicans who are not happy with these announcements but for different reasons progressives feel that goals have not gone

far enough they wanted to see a 70 percent reduction not the 52 percent that was announced by joe biden by 2030 of those 2005 levels and for republicans they're saying hey we're in the midst of a pandemic still we're still trying to get people back to work is this really the time to be cutting jobs in favor of new green jobs that have not yet materialized so there is a lot of discontent for different reasons from a number of different americans and then add to that well most americans feel in theory this is a good idea many are not willing to make the changes necessary in other words not willing to take public transit instead of driving a vehicle or even giving up their instant gratification lifestyle whether it comes to order and food or cheap products quickly on amazon so these are some of the things that americans are grappling with as a lot of the announcements by the president have been met with mixed reviews.

live for us in washington d.c. kimberly thank you. now the search for missing indonesian submarine with $53.00 people on board has reached a critical points or exigence supplies on board the sets of ana it's just a few hours time crews are working in waters around the indonesian island of bali and other countries are helping families of those on board say they're praying for their loved ones just to washington reports from jakarta. by and by sea the search grows more urgent as the hours pass $53.00 sub mariners were on board the cameron and 4 o 2 in waters north of bali on wednesday morning they were taking part in what should have been a routine training exercise when contact with their vessel was lost but up to the submarine is now silent there's no sound we can only use sonar the search is reaching a critical point even if the submarine is intact those on board will soon run out

of oxygen until the deadline which 3 am on saturday we will maximize every effort experts are concerned the submarine may have sunk too far and collapsed under extreme pressure. the deeper a submarine goes by old water pressure increases on the submarine every 10 meters there is one kilogram of pressure added to each centimeter of the body of the submarine indonesia's neighbors singapore and malaysia our system with the search and australian navy vessel is also on side. internation authorities say the submarine was in good condition despite being built in the late 19 seventies it completed a true year refurbishing process in south korea in 2012 and recently completed its scheduled maintenance in indonesia on thursday indonesian military personnel spotted an oil slick in the sea that officials say could indicate a fuel leak for many of the family and friends of those on board the carolina 4

neighboring governments to take a stand against the coup and the crackdown that followed it's a grave disappointment we are very very upset and sorry what is happening. is. welcoming. gender which is killing its own people the chaos that's been seen on the streets of myanmar over the past 3 months has been disturbing for many within r.c.m. individually countries like singapore indonesia and malaysia have condemned the bloodshed and urged restraint the possibility of a failed state within the bloc threatens our claims of economic and political stability but others have remained relatively quiet expecting the protests would be limited and quickly suppressed within thailand is the country that has the best relationship with yeah most generals but the thais don't seem very keen on intervention which might explain why the thai prime minister is staying at home

this weekend that lack of unity and failure to hold myanmar's generals to account a likely to be costly the world food program is warning that millions could go hungry in coming months and fighting in border areas could send refugees pouring into neighboring countries this is a maritime disaster in the making it's early stage but it can get worse the knock on effects from this crisis we're beginning to see a civil war failed state and there will be no end to it. protestors in dar way hold a candle lit vigil for the victims of the myanmar protests now more than 700 people but few are expecting more than thoughts and prayers from leaders tony ching al jazeera bangkok. same for a check on the weather now here's rob. and there we often think of the middle east as hot and dry and it is that but you can't miss

a disease that kills some 400000 people mainly children every year the top one study was carried out amongst 450 children and became a fast so based on these latest results it's hoped approval will be given by the end of next year the vaccine was created as a joint venture between oxford university and pharmaceutical company no facts it will be manufactured at large scale and low costs by india's serum institutes. up to 22000000 vaccines let's get more on this there from dr bhargavi rao she's a malaria and infectious diseases specialist for doctors without borders and joins us by skype from london scripps have you with us on the user before being preoccupied by the corona virus it's easy to forget that malaria is a real killer as well so given this situation how much of

a breakthrough would you say this potential new vaccine is. thanks very much so you're quite right you know in the past year we think that the death toll from malaria was probably 4 times that in parts of sub-saharan africa than it was from coded so i think it shows how important bringing in extra tools to the to the malaria sort of armamentarium is this this new new result is really encouraging and it and it certainly raises hope but i think we have to also be aware that this is an it's a phase 12 trial and as promising as the results are it certainly isn't that the finished product yet and we certainly need quite significant amounts of information to see kind of how we might really use that. you know it's certainly showing efficacy of iran's use a 77 percent but this is a 12 months and when we know that something to be really

a game changer we need to see sort of data beyond 12 months time to see how how long this persists for. there are other things that we would look for if we were really going to use the word game changer we'd want to make sure that it was safe to store that there was broader safety data than just in in a small number of children and importantly that it also fitted in with vaccine calendars i mean you know one vaccine is certainly better than 2 in here it's 4 doses 4 doses to give to a child on top of the other vaccines that they already have to come in and take that's that's quite a significant burden on a health care system that in the areas that malaria is really high are already horribly overburdened absolutely still have a way to go a good way to go but when you look at the numbers of people who are affects is going to have that certainly in the african region it's a big killer there but i mean this affects. this affects south. latin

america even if it is a difficult treatment to rule ensure this is still an optimistic piece of news when you consider that it's mostly children under 5 who are succumbing to a disease which to draw intents and purposes is a disease which is preventable and treatable absolutely i think i mean i don't want to take anything away from today's announcement it's really encouraging and that's been clear also in malaria. the cases are not coming down despite significant efforts over the past sort of 20 years certainly the case numbers of plateaued since 2017 where around 220000000 cases a year a child dies every 2 minutes and and mortality is really coming down very slowly we've plateaued with the current tools we have and we definitely need new tools and

an ethic aisha's vaccine would be crucial to make progress against this disease ok here's hoping that efficacious vaccine is within a grasp at last for the time afraid but thank you so much dr bhargavi row from doctors without borders thank you for joining us on the news or thank you russia has begun moving troops away from its border with ukraine and sent tens of thousands of soldiers into the region leading to tension with ukraine and its western allies it was a military exercise and some equipment will be left behind for a drill sets took place later this year when nato and ukraine's president welcomed the move but say they will remain vigilant smith has more on the troop withdrawal from moscow. russia says it will have been withdrawn its troops from the border with ukraine by the 1st of may it was a mobilization that the russians said was a military exercise but that had concerned the u.s. the e.u. and nato the e.u.

estimating that at one stage there were more than 100000 troops amassed along the border it's not a total withdrawal russia has ordered one unit to leave its armored vehicles at the base near the border by 120 kilometers from the border and to leave those vehicles there until the autumn and satellite photographs of shown tanks and vehicles many hundreds of them at this particular base and from saturday russia is closing access to that as off see through the carriage straight to ukrainian naval vessels this means that the ukrainian navy will not be able to access its eastern ports or the russia says merchant vessels will still be able to pass through the courage straight on these restrictions will be in place until the end of october again for what russia says are military exercises. russia is continuing with plans to close

asking them to show their hands. but he only gets one guess to identify the ring bearer a task that has been made easier this year because there are only 40 players in each team. match and i did team members could reach 4 or 500 now the circumstances become different iraq has gone through a health and security crisis last year stern. meant it was canceled due to the pandemic but this year it was allowed to go ahead with certain restrictions usually this stadium would be packed with players and spectators but this year off already is have restricted attendance as the country registers record numbers of new coronavirus infections but there is no social distancing no masks and it appears little concern about the rise in covert 19 cases the teams will play until dawn when the curfew is lifted and they return home to begin their fast again simona 14

pandemic its health care system is buckling as the death toll surpasses $60000.00 restrictions have been reimpose for us that's further straining on a corner me already in crisis so risible reports from one of these. it's become an all too common scene on the streets of one of us. health care workers demanding better wages in the middle of the 2nd wave of the pandemic. cassidy says everyone's exhausted government in a boy lot we really can't take in more in the 2nd wave of infections nurses are at the front when it comes to the pressure of being part of the public health system in this pandemic without sufficient salaries and without recognition today nurses paid below the level of the basic food basket it's an outrage. infections are on the rise once again in argentina and deaths from the virus neared $60000.00 on
