in the capital new delhi a person is dying of covert 19 every 4 minutes elizabeth purana joins us now live from new delhi so elizabeth another day another set of numbers above 300000 what does this mean for the health care system not only in delhi but also outside in rural areas. hello sami were letters really important to remember that we have been focusing a lot on delhi and also in on the financial capital by which is the capital of the worst affected state might astral because the cases have been so high there because the health care infrastructure has been so overwhelmed but what is important to rent remember is that man by and delhi have some of the best health care infrastructure in the country and yet here in the capital we continue to see the entrances to hospitals filled with desperate family members begging for their loved ones their loved ones to be admitted being rejected because hospitals are full and

we're hearing reports of people dying outside hospitals dying on the footpath outside hospitals waiting to be admitted in the southern city of bengal luda which is also one of the richest cities in the country it is an i.t. harb it is known for its nedda call tourism is also now running out of i.c.u. beds and that will give you an idea then of the situation in much poorer areas like the most populous state or to put their age or the like can be hard where it's much more difficult for people to get to hospitals there you know who often have to travel tens of not hundreds of kilometers to actually reach proper hospitals that have the equipment that they need and we are seeing cases rising alarmingly in india's most populous state with the cases a more than 30000 a day now and that predict like most of india is still not conducting

enough tests we also have a discrepancy a very big discrepancy between the number of deaths the official death toll in order for there also in other badly affected states like garage and madhya pradesh doesn't add up to the number of bodies which. being cremated a number of cars in 19 patients their bodies which are being carried out of hospitals and being brought to climate torrens and burial grounds a few weeks ago when the situation when the entire focus was on maharashtra we had health experts saying especially those in maharashtra that maharashtra might be the worst affected now but it is only the 1st and the situation is going to spread and it is going to spread to rural areas which don't have the health care infrastructure to deal with this crisis when the most developed richest cities in india when their health care infrastructure is falling apart. a

grim situation thanks that lizabeth rahman for covering up. doctors in iraq say at least 27 people have been killed after an explosion inside a baghdad hospital fire burned through a ward worker with 19 patients were being treated it's understood an accident caused a long siege and time to explode the fire is now being a child smaller faulted has more from baghdad. we understand at the time of the incident there were 120 patients admitted. to hospital 30 of them were specifically in the respiratory carrying it because this is a hospital that handles primarily covert 1000 patients and in addition to these 120 patients there were several family members want to prepare a patient minute because this is a people curiosity in the iraqi health care system that family members are actually allowed to be present alongside covert patients in the hospital and of course in

addition to that there were also health care workers certain moment that the death toll is expected to increase because many people were rushed to nearby hospitals with severe burn injuries and what we understand in terms of the cause of this fire it was caused by the explosion of an oxygen oxygen cylinder the way it works of oxygen supply in these hospitals in many hospitals in iraq in fact is that there is no central oxygen supply system was so patients that require a ventilator that require oxygen supply then depend on these oxidant oxygen cylinders which are provided and which are placed next to the patients bears and i spoke to one doctor who works in this hospital and he mentioned that because of the lack of staff members to care for the patients what ends up happening is that the relatives of patients often end up handling these oxygen cylinders and he believes

that. any kind of mishandling may have cause. this explosion now prime minister with the fire card in me has promised an investigation into the incident but of course that is not enough for many iraqis they often hear the government promising investigations but we rarely really see their results or government officials responsible for what appears to be neglect and mismanagement being brought to account coronavirus deaths are also rising in argentina as hospital struggled to keep up with the number of patients more than 500 people are now dying every day doctors say a variant of coded 19 1st detected in brazil could be behind the sudden rise in cases u.s. president joe biden has formally recognized the 1915 mass killings of armenians in the crumbling ottoman empire as an act of genocide in

a written statement the us president said we remember the lives of all those who died in the ottoman era armenian genocide and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring he added we do this not to cast blame but to ensure that what happened is never repeated turkey is rejecting the statement it's summer and the us ambassador to anchor in protest foreign minister move lucho. words cannot change or rewrite history we have nothing to learn from anybody on our own past political opportunism is the greatest betrayal to peace and justice we entirely reject this statement based soley on populism for armenians though it's a watershed moment at home and among the extensive diaspora worldwide president biden's announcement coincided with the 106008 verse 3 of the mass killings

armenian prime minister nicole says it's a powerful step towards justice. more reaction shortly after this report from how. it contains images some viewers may find disturbing. it's a story more than 100 years old for turkey it's a chapter that's turned but for the united states and other members of the international community turkey must apologize for the events that started in 1915 that was when ottoman turks deported hundreds of thousands of armenians from eastern and atoll year to the syrian desert but what happened and how many were then killed remains disputed many historians say more than a 1000000 armenians lost their lives turkish officials deny any systematic killings took place saying it was a time of war and the death toll has been exaggerated turkey has always been

angered by government describing the event that began in 1915 during the ottoman empire as a genocide the armenian genocide remembrance day that takes place in armenia and is observed by many armenians abroad on april 24th every year is why this scene in turkey as a western propaganda aimed at a time machine the country's reputation was very strong objections to the use of the word genocide but those see it as being linked to the holocaust you know these are 2 separate atrocities 30 years apart for that's not really the case they also worry about some kind of legal claims against them but again these are tragic events that occurred more than 100 years ago so that's very unlikely the announcement by biden comes at a delicate moment in u.s. turkish relations ties between the 2 nato are lies have been strained for years. in

2020 the trump administration imposed sanctions against turkey over his purchase of russian weapons systems but trump and turkey's president. managed to prevent an escalation and described the relationship as friendly but when biden was elected president turkish officials expressed concerns that might get worse during the u.s. presidential election campaign last year when biden was democratic candidate he described as an autocrat and over the last few months the biden administration has pressed to improve its record in human rights with biden's latest move the u.s. joins dozens of countries that have declared the atrocities against armenians more than a century ago an act of genocide has my brother al-jazeera. also had

you know. i'm connection some don't want to expose snake in legacy media. shoot. back next week night al-jazeera investigations house is still a massacre on al-jazeera. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap our headlines india has set yet another global record number of new corona cases reporting over 300000 infections for a 4th day in a row the white house has expressed concern deep concern it plans to urgently

deploy additional support doctors in iraq say at least 27 people have been killed after an explosion inside of baghdad hospital fire burned through a ward where covert 900 patients were being treated joe biden has become the 1st u.s. president to formally recognize the mass killings of armenians during the off of an empire as genocide turkey has summoned the u.s. ambassador in protest armenia welcomed the move. more our top story now the worsening covert 19 crisis in india javid ansari is a senior journalist joins us now from new delhi good to have you with us so how much of a political liability is this situation becoming for the government. well it is we all knew for sure once the results of the elections come out but certainly every did their protesters dream endless amount of anger and despair 'd and the

frightening part is that the worst is yet to come a government panel an expert panel set up by the government has predicted the surge the peak will come a month from now where numbers could hit could go as high as 500000 daily as it is 20 people have died for want of elect for want of oxygen in a delhi hospital last night and every day by the ah the cries go out the hospitals are rushing to the courts british ning them saying that the i.v. are only minutes away from our oxygen supply is running out and and therefore india has amounted to climb we are up against it has international help started to reach india. unfortunately even if it has its in in trickles the government also appears to be reluctant partly because. our prime minister and the government

want to the world to believe that india big being dobbed of the pharma industry was leading this fight against the pandemic there are they love themselves convinced themselves into believing that india got the better of this pandemic the time that could have been used to argument health infrastructure was wasted to regroup complaisant there were political rallies where hundreds and thousands of people gathered and were addressed the bias of senior politicians specially the prime minister not minister the religious congregations where again hundreds and thousands of people were allowed to gather 'd so corporate behavior was thrown out of the reds and others out of which we now have the situation which has exploded in our face and like i said earlier the fear is that the worst is yet to come when the government is reluctant as you said to try and receive hell i mean doesn't that undermine their own demoed he's own call for nations to come together to find

covert 19 which he made last year in march to the sun conference. well you know i've been in this profession for 40 years and i've seen politicians across to the political divide. say one thing in public and do quite another and in private when it comes to implementing things my lot of people are baffled by this reluctance india has is looking to the u.s. to lift some of the curbs on raw materials that go into manufacturing these rock scenes but other than that maybe because of our recent history rick china china has offered to help but india has so far shown and been very lukewarm to that offer a patentee pakistan to yesterday offered to come up with some kind of help but even that has been ignored we india needs help india needs help with oxygen india needs to medicines india needs help generally with augmenting its infrastructure and

perhaps it would be in the interest of everybody specially that the millions who are suffering if we open a you know we shared our inhibitions and started taking it because it's one thing to believe that your people of handling it it's quite funny but the situation today on the ground points to a very different picture and there is no harm in accepting it and should not just opening ourselves and and seeking aid from the rest of the word thank you so much for joining us. and as more tension between russia and ukraine this time at sea russia has closed all naval access to the curch strait ukraine says it's illegal and violates a treaty moscow says its forces are conducting military drills it follows the mobilization of tens of thousands of russian troops on the ukrainian border in recent weeks bernard smith reports from crimea. on the way out of crimea but very

much still in charge of russia's land the sea and air forces are heading back to their bases after 2 weeks of exercises along the border with ukraine and in the black sea it was a mobilization big enough to worry nato with at least 100000 russian soldiers estimated to have been involved but russia is keeping up the pressure on its neighbor by closing the curch straight to the ukrainian navy this links the black sea to the sea of as off and ukraine's eastern ports russia's main motive is to demonstrate that it controls crimea because russia has no scream years part of russia for the reason to control 'd this equitorial around on the peninsula and closing down the rated you must raise who is in this part of the black sea and in the sea the bridge over the strait was built by russia in the years after its 2014 occupation of crimea it creates a permanent link to the russian mainland there's

a treaty between russia and ukraine agreeing equal access to the sea but russia says it can close the strait the military exercises and these will last until the end of october there's not much ukraine can do unless it wants to take on russia's navy burn its crimea charles stratford is that the force of mario poll with the ukrainian perspective. well the ukrainians as you can imagine a very angry about this they called it a gross violation of the right to freedom of navigation and a violation of the un convention of the law of the sea they see it as being a provocation by russia only adding to the kind of tension that we've seen in the region in the last couple of weeks around that fast troop deployment by the russians along ukrainian borders and around crimea this will to the eyes off see in the strait is supposed to be on a joint jurisdiction when the russians and the ukrainians according to

a 2003 agreement now cover days ago we were out with the marriott polled now it's time to work with the ukrainian navy and they were saying that that agreement was signed in 2003 and he's now almost redundant because of course we've had a conflict that started in 2014 and russia annexed crimea so the ukrainians are feeling weakened policy if you like to act and that's despite obviously great international support in rhetoric at least calling for the russians to to maintain freedom of navigation in these very strategically important waters to both countries. now there's been a 3rd night of violence near the mosque compound in occupied east jerusalem israeli security forces fired stun grenades a lot of cannon the palestinians they're angry at restrictions on gatherings during the muslim fasting month of ramadan the 1st day israeli forces say they prevented fire and israeli activists from confronting
