his presence and many human rights organizations have condemned the decision to invite him to this meeting but some analysts from indonesia say that the only way to really put an end to the violence is to speak directly to the person who many say is responsible for sparking this situation and there is hope that our young may be able to achieve that today but there are mixed opinions as you have had a meeting earlier in the year of foreign ministers and they weren't really able to achieve any sort of consensus on this issue now where i'm sure exactly what's on the agenda at this meeting we understand that president djoko would giotto will deliver a speech to welcome the attendees but beyond that we don't know what will be discussed as this is much very much a closed door situation we do expect to hear from the indonesian foreign minister who will brief the media after this summit by the again we simply don't know what they will be able to achieve today if anything just

the month they want the people the students and the other people who've been arrested to be released they want recognition of the election result from november 2020 and they want that the military to step down it's unclear at this stage how closely leaders are going to be listening to those those calls but i think they're very definite they're the same calls that the protesters have had since the coup happened on february the 1st and they say they're not going to back down until they win tere zhang live for us in bangkok that only many thanks did or un ambassador who's an outspoken critic of the military and was sacked by the job hopes the progress can be made the u.n. hasn't recognized his dismissal he spoke to our diplomatic editor james pace whatever that did the asian made by the leaders of the earth. this should take into account of saving lives or in north and see valeant. buying the millet sieving

from new delhi. overcome with grief and anger this man and other family members of 14 people killed in the fire at this hospital in maharashtra state broke down as they confronted staff the place went through the intensive care unit or i see you from one of our 3 major unfortunately a major fire disaster happened at our hospital at about 3 am there was a sudden spark from the air conditioner and since there was a lot of oxygen supply in the i.c.u. it was completely engulfed within 2 minutes. 2 days ago in the same state a lake and an oxygen tank killed 24000 patients on ventilators after their supply was disrupted many indian states are facing a critical shortage of hospital beds and oxygen supplies in the capital new delhi distraught family members a struggling to find beds for their loved ones. i've been running around for

a hospital to get my mother admitted since the 21st of april i visited all the hospitals in delhi they all say the same thing the beds and all debatable another patient my son is home who do i take care of i'm so stressed. reports of people dying because they can't find beds or oxygen are increasing every day this is one of new delhi's biggest private hospitals where the director said 25 people died in one day because of low oxygen supply the family of a 39 year old man who passed away says his oxygen was reduced without their knowledge and that his last words were please save me they also say they counted at least 45 bodies and that a catastrophe is being covered up the hospitals chairman says they've never had so many deaths in one day but he denies they were a result of oxygen shortage you delis leader has pleaded with prime minister that in the morty to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of oxygen to the capital after

reports it was being stopped by bordering states. negativity towards her we can't leave our people to die we need people to understand that every life is important to us i appeal to you on behalf of the people of delhi if concrete steps are taken the city will witness a catastrophe. as started kramatorsk burial grounds work day and night the government has begun using planes and trains to transport the life saving gas. and elizabeth joins us now live from new delhi in this what's gone wrong with india's oxygen supply. oh dear it is simply because of the number of cases which have gone up exponentially to put the number of cases that we're seeing right now into perspective at the peak of india's 1st wave cases didn't quite reach 100000 that was in september the highest recorded was 97000 cases and at the moment for

the 3rd day india has been recording more than 300000 cases the number of hospitalizations have gone up and so too has the number of people who need oxygen for the 2nd day in a row we've had a hospital in the indian capital new delhi saying that they have lost patients because of a lack of oxygen supply they say that 20 critically ill in the cove of 19 patients died because the oxygen delivery was 7 hours late and that 200 more lives at the hospital are at stake we've had another hospital so that they have had to discharge all 140 of the patients and tell their family members that they need to find another hospital and they are not taking any more missions but the problem is that when you go to hospitals here they are completely full we spent a day outside one of actually outside new delhi's biggest public hospital where family members arrive all day begging hospital staff to admit their loved ones

and the only people who are admitted the only people that we could see being emitted are those who collapse outside now the situation is the worst in delhi at the moment because it's the worst affected city that there is a critical shortage of oxygen and least 12 states we're seeing people being moved because of oxygen running out and other states too and other hospitals and other states deaths being reported in the state of un job because of the same reason and so now the government that has been scrambling to use in planes and trains and trucks to transport the defense ministry has been airlifting most of the. oxygen generation plants from germany 23 plants from germany and the external affairs ministry has been passed with saul saying and importing as much oxygen as they can find but health experts also say that the government should have done this in the few months at the beginning of this year should have boosted their facilities when

the numbers were incredibly loyal around 10 to 11000 a day al-jazeera is elizabeth for out of there live for us in new delhi liz many thanks indeed the weather next here on al-jazeera then more of the oxygen crisis in india we'll take a closer look at what has led to the shortages in many hospitals and we'll look at why there are fears libya's vaccination campaign could be marred by political infighting or favoritism. the weather pattern is stuck over europe at the moment there's activity around the baltic states this activity off the coast of portugal and in fact if you look at the shape it's sort of an omega the greek letter room it's called mimic

a block which means this area of high pressure is sitting here it's blocking the movement of the patterns anyway so you get persistence of type which means persistence of winter in sweden in the baltic states and in finland and a bit of a cold breeze actually on the eastern side and persistence of rain on its way into portugal because that scene can't move very far either but in between the 2 high pressure spring sunshine temperatures are slowly rising as nice a mormon central western france you beat greece i have to say were necessarily losses stockholm's is only a slow rise in temperature we start off with more snow on the ground in stockholm on sunday again but bordeaux you do lose a bit of the heat boost and back 19 is where the average is or monday is rate increase slowly up from further sucks for north africa tunisia is should see a mostly dry saturday this some showers stuff likely in the far north america the winds are telling though and that might end up being a haboob drawing blowing out of libya and into egypt but especially for the south.
