when the delhi regional government took the matter to the high court india for the for the general told it let's try and not be a crybaby. 50 people died in the capital after their oxygen supply ran out and on saturday 6 patients died in the state of punjab because of the same reason. health care workers say they are helpless in the face of such a calamity. we need oxygen the revered. and. then. leaves a car to his and there's traffic tells him his wife will die if they keep waiting elizabeth cronon al-jazeera. and his government ordered social media firms to remove content critical of its handling of the pandemic dozens of posts on facebook

twitter and instagram have been taken down the censored post included calls for prime minister narendra modi to resign and critiques from journalists and opposition politicians and his government says the post were targeted for spreading what it calls fake news and misleading information. international efforts to help india are building the u.k. is sending more than 600 medical devices including oxygen concentrator is an ventilators the 1st shipment is due to arrive on tuesday. we're sending out an emergency shipment of over 600 items of equipment that ventilator is oxygen concentrator is and the aim is to provide the support that the indians need at their hour of need really if judging by the distressing scenes we've seen in many of the hospitals in india series of other shipments the 1st one goes out today and we are going to scotians with the indian government about further things that they may or may not need us president joe biden says the u.s.

will help india just as it helped america through the worst moments of its outbreak its chief medical advisor dr anthony fauci spoke to a.b.c. news as the white house announced it will immediately send medical and protective gear as well as raw materials for producing vaccines. there's discussions about really ramping up what we can do on the ground oxygen supply drugs tests p p e as well as taking a look in the intermediate and long run about how we can get vaccines to these individuals both immediately now as well as in the situation where you help them to be able to essentially make vaccines themselves colombia is going through its worst peak of daring infections and death since the start of the pandemic hospitals are on the brink of collapse and major cities and authorities are imposing new restrictions and to add to the problems the vaccination drive has been slow

process the government authorized large private enterprises to buy vaccines internationally for their employees but manufacturers like pfizer and sin of x. say they will not sell to private businesses for the time being. both the government and the private sector are recognizing the government's falling short of its commitment to vaccinate the entire colombian population it's more like a fear of victory by the private sector that they're now you know heaping praise at the government for allowing them to proceed but there's really nothing that they can do in the short term to expand access to vaccination all this happening while doing its worst crisis since the start of this and then make averaging more than $400.00 deaths per day and with intensive care units close to collapse.

university and he's also a former u.s. diplomat and regional security officer in west africa he says somalia is in desperate need of international mediation. oh. janet for somebody it's 1st one man one election since 1968 and it was negotiations broke down over a number of issues mostly just about the conduct of the elections the president was accused of stature and his stack recollect election bore uncertain and other issues and there's also the. power distribution she's between the province's and the president to the fight maybe provinces' so all of this broke down and that led to an exploration both parliaments and the president's man the february in this new law passed by the lower house of parliament called the people's parliament on it or 14th and that led to all kinds of reactions including one commander on the front

growing number of americans living out of vans frances mcdormand won the best actress award for her role in that film. who directed the film became only the 2nd woman to win the oscar for best director she's also the 1st woman of color ever on and in this category and you know john won best supporting actress for oscar for minardi she's the 1st south korean to win the top award let's go live to robot bride in seoul rob puts the reaction been like in south korea to this. as you would imagine this has been very well received here in south korea you know joan is probably not that well known to the rest of the world until now that is but she is a very familiar figure here a very well established character active beginning her career in the 1960 s. and seventy's 1st of all in the movie industry and then branching across into t.v.

dramas for a time during the 19 $180.00 s. for a few years she actually relocated to the united states so she is no stranger to the phenomenon of migration or relocation which is obviously the theme of minardi but she decided to move back to south korea pick up her career once more 'd and has really as she has grown older and developed as an actor she has managed to avoid being pigeonholed into stereotypical kind of angry roles which tend to be a staple of korean fiction here instead taking on roles which are far more challenging nuanced cult more complex matriarchal figures which seem to be perfectly suited of course to the eccentric grandmother that she plays in so this is this now seems to have been accepted and rewarded by the oscars but also i think that is recognition of south korea's film industry which everybody here will be delighted with last year of course we were talking about the movie parricide

winning those awards so the fact that south korea is once again recognized on the world stage is very well received here rob thanks very much those from abroad talking to us from seoul i want to bring in scott mendelssohn he's a film critic and he's a box office pundit for forbes who's joining us live by skype from moorpark in california it's good to have you with us i want to talk to you about the award that was given to social opens the diverter but also mere neil and jamming to wilson it took the oscar from him hair and make up in modern means black bottom now man neal said i stand here to make and i break this glass ceiling with so much hope for the future i know one day it won't be unusual groundbreaking it'll just be normal and she writes do you think. well that's 1st of all thank you for having me 2nd of all that's the goal to where we discuss give diversity includes a duty in terms of the awards race as the last and last of a big deal and you know the way that happens is far more diverse and inclusive

films to be caught up in the awards ways to be counted as be awards worthy even right at the beginning as you know you know normally you would be the festival season and for those films to actually get nominations and it sounds somewhat obvious but up until the last several years it's been. somewhat rare enough to where a year like this where you don't have a number of comparatively cousens winners you know a year like this is an exception to the rule hopefully it will become conventional wisdom but ask me again 5 years with this also has it does seem as though the streaming services like netflix and so on does seem to have had a big role to play in the nominations in this and obviously netflix and other streaming services in a way of getting groups who have generally been under represented and directors and performers and so on to get their work to a wider audience how much of

a role do you think that has played given. towards the diversity that we've seen in this year's nominations. it word sub i mean netflix and amazon and to a lesser extent you know not to answer that you know amazon hulu netflix part of their commercial strategy has been to be to say that we are a place that brings stories from under-represented demographics straight to your couch you know not only are we bankrolling and distributing these pictures with these under-represented voices we are giving them to you for free as are your screens description. they were very successful in terms of nominations this year. madres black bottom. the sound of metal but in terms of the major victories outside of the tech awards ironically enough even in this year the major studios like fox searchlight are p.g.

searchlight warner brothers sony pictures classics they took the majority of the victories in the major screenplay actor actors director picture categories. the streamers had a good year partially because. there were a lot of major hollywood films that didn't come out this year as scheduled because of the endemic and also connected to that you had a situation where films like the united states versus billie holiday or the trial of chicago 7 which were supposed to be major studio theatrical releases paramount in those cases and being acquired by streaming service amazon excuse me who purchased the united states versus billie holiday and netflix purchased the distribution rights to try out as of then go 757000000 dollars and that film added up being one of their 2 best picture nominees scotland in some way appreciate your

time thank you very much indeed for giving us the benefit of your expertise thank you it's an absolute pleasure thank you. the u.k. has hosted its biggest crowd at an outdoor sports event since the 1st lockdown in march last year 80000 fans turned up to see manchester city win the english league cup game at wembley stadium wembley is going to host 8 more matches with crowds during the european football championship in june sunday's final had been delayed in order to allow more fans to attend as coronavirus restrictions lifted. i don't know about this and with the headlines on al jazeera india's record of the world's highest number of new covered 19 infections for the 5th consecutive days.
