registered on saturday some out of all teen reports now from baghdad. a neighborhood struck by grief after an explosion ripped through a crowded covert 19 ward lost his father who had been a patient at the hospital as well as his brother who had stayed by his bedside to care for him. my father was about to recover they even took him off the oxygen and in the hospital burns down i lost 2 of them we couldn't rescue them the explosion and but that's even possible where around a 120 patients were treated for cope with 19 was likely caused by a poorly handled oxygen cylinder doctors say the facility lacks basic equipment including a central oxygen supply system and that patients relatives often handle oxygen cylinders because of a shortage of medical staff was there to attend to his elderly on 20 blast went off but he couldn't save her. everyone left behind the patients and just ran out in

a few seconds the entire floor was ablaze with heavy fire despite the risk of covered 19 infection there was no restriction on the number of relatives allowed in the wards which further increased fatalities. this is neglect from the hospital because you shouldn't allow anyone to enter the family members a greater number than the patients inside the i.c.u. the. witnesses say the emergency response was slow while iraq's human rights commission told al jazeera the hospital lacked adequate fire safety systems we know very well that that is absence of. occasional safe it is. confronting such fire and such buildings when we look at the official reports about. such entity we see there is no extent.

well. the prime minister has ordered an investigation and has suspended several officials including the ministry of health and the governor of baghdad the deadly fire at the hospital has stirred a fuel public anger over the government's handling of the corona virus pandemic and for many it's a manifestation of the deeply rooted corruption that has crippled the healthcare sector. on sunday families began holding funerals but few have hope for genuine accountability from the government or that the structural issues that lie at the heart of such accidents will be addressed seem wonderful to al-jazeera but that. bori is an iraqi political analyst he says there has already been widespread concern about safety protocols in iraq hospitals. it's not the 1st incident where we see. patients dying in their beds because a fire 3 years ago another incident happened in an area more cost bittle and

nothing has been done at that time and i don't think much will happen this time. unfortunately that acquired safety measures in iraqi hospitals. and in spite of the incidence in an area hospital 3 years ago nothing has changed norm. but if you all of the current mess and measures safety measures have been done and not changes have been made unfortunately in iraq for years and years now there is not real accountability for governmental employees at different levels whether they're ministers or not for their actions and because of lack of accountability we have heard of hundreds and hundreds of committees formed by the government to do their inquiries about incidents happening and nothing comes out of

these committees there is lack of transparency there is lack of real. intent to take actions against those who. commit. even crimes against people in iraq so you see people do not trust the government and do not trust that these committees will take real actions. india has recorded the most coronavirus cases ever in any country in the world with almost 350000 infections hospitals are turning away patients and even those who can get a bed can't necessarily get the oxygen they need the u.s. the e.u. germany france and the u.k. all sending emergency aid elizabeth purana reports now from new delhi. in the hours that. say they've bought breaks down as he pleads with staff in india's biggest

a minute dancer is no oxygen is a basic necessity and specially for me it is like very very savvy and other drugs have questionable clinical clients oxygen is the only essential medicine we have something by the government called the essential medicines act that the source of medicine is oxygen and if you do not have oxygen how do we fight a. soul so agreed this in nature and so infectious. in somalia there have been violent confrontations between supporters of the president and those opposed to an extension of his term in office is happening just hours ahead of a deadline set by a prominent army commander mohammed abdul marjoe to step down earlier on sunday a military convoy including armored cars moved into the capital the u.n. has urged both sides to reject violence and resume dialogue those demonstrating against the president say they fear he could leave the country back into civil war

a begging for oxygen supplies as the health care system struggles to cope. supporters of somalia's president and those opposed to an extension of his term in office of biting in mogadishu it's happening ahead of a deadline for mohammed at the life of his step down. now today on to u.s. president joe biden formally recognized the mass killing of means during the osman empire as genocide i mean his prime minister has resigned the move will set the stage for snap elections on june the 20th nicole pursued me and has been under pressure for his handling of last year's war with azerbaijan conflict ended with armenia giving up control of several disputed territories or been forced to walk or has more from tbilisi in neighboring georgia. i think certainly the bison statement will have to wait him given given the intense pressure that

he's been on these recent months since the war over in the world a car bomb which really has been the the reason why this is all been happening because the opposition. its opponents have been calling for his resignation for many months that by almost daily protests because they hold him responsible for the outcome of which the media lost huge swathes of territory the rounds in between the going to karbala and play and therefore missed the passion yet in fact said himself that everybody has has weighed in on. those days and has had an opinion has to say about it with the exception of the armenian electorate and so this is their opportunity to have their say almost like a referendum. since on him really since those cuts as he describes it the catastrophic events of the of the war last year what's also worth pointing out

however is that the opposition never really wanted to have of the elections because i think they understood that even though nichol passion you know and it's a popular they may be even less popular than he is because the opposition is made up of the form of government that he. 1 brought down in a popular revolution back in 2018 so it was never their hope to have any elections they wanted they can take your administration he now i think has his sights set on june 25th a referendum in which he believes he's going to be able to win. albanians have voted in what's expected to be a tight race between the governing socialists and the opposition democrats exit polls suggest that the ruling socialist party set to win the parliamentary election is a 1st vote contested on the new laws aimed at stamping out irregularities that marred previous votes of 80 is seeking e.u. membership needs to hold an election that meets international standards rebels in

just with the armed groups but various other opposition groups opposition leaders who spoke to al-jazeera over the past few days say that they did indeed get calls from the transition military council and that they're willing to sit down with the council as it holds consultations to appoint a $69.00 member transitional council and a transitional cabinet so it looks like some groups are willing to heed to the calls of dialogue that has been made by the transitional military council but others are still resisting the fact that the military is in charge instead of the speaker of parliament aspart chat's constitution which has been dissolved following the announcement of these death some of the groups that are resisting the calls for dialogue include the military council for salvation of chad as well as the movement for democracy and justice so these 2 groups have announced that they are not going to recognize the fact that the military is in charge and they want a civilian leadership to lead the country during this interim period a lot of concerns here in the capital during the days of fighting between the

government and the rebel front for change and concorde group many people we spoke to say that they were going to leave the capital out of fear especially because in jamaica had been attacked by rebels in 20062008 but the announcement from the rebel front for change and concord group that it is ready to observe the cease fire and hold talks with the transition wintery council to try to move forward during this interim period and to try to reach a stable. has given people here optimism and hope that chance future may after all be less conflict ridden than its past. the gulf of guinea has been called one of the most dangerous maritime areas in the world because of partner attacks nearly half of the 38 incidents recorded globally in the 1st 3 months of this year happened. went on patrol with been ins navy on the line to go but are these navy commandos are setting out on a hunt for pirates at sea it's a dangerous assignment that security forces of this small west african nation have
