against drug maker astra zeneca over a major lapse in covert 19 vaccine deliveries and a russian court decides whether to shut down groups linked to jailed opposition leader alexina foamy balk at the latest from moscow. british iranian aid worker innocence gary radcliffe has been sentenced to another year in jail by intervening courts zakari radcliffe had been released from prison in march after serving 5 years on charges of plotting against the government's latest jail term comes from a new charge of spreading propaganda against iran she and her family have always denied the allegations against her by votes paul brennan is outside the arena an embassy in london for what he tells.

while the reason why we're here outside the embassy is it's an event at this location that has led to this latest conviction against muslims who got a rock left rather extraordinarily an event back in 2009 a protest against the iranian government which innocent muslims are god iraklis attended at which she gave an interview to the b.b.c. persian service the. that has now been resurrected by the prosecuting authorities in tehran and she is now being convicted on a propaganda charge of propaganda against the iranian republic now the reaction to that decision 1st of all to put her in on the prosecution in the 1st place but secondly to wait so long to do this has been almost you know. 'd you know unified across the board i can give you some now i mean her husband for a start off richard rachleff has told us that it's clearly

a negotiating tactic in his opinion by the iranian authorities one glimmer of hope is the fact that manson has not yet been actually summoned back into prison she she's not actually behind bars there will be a 21 day rights to appeal here thomson reuters foundation and he was working for her said the new sentence defies comprehension lawful process justice and basic humanity and we've also got a clip now from the british prime minister boris johnson giving his reaction to. i don't think it's right at all that nicely in should be sentenced to any more time in jail i think that it was wrong it's wrong that she's that in the 1st place and will be working very hard to secure release from iran her ability to return to her family here in the u.k. just as we work for our. national cases in iran and the government will not.

stop we will redouble our efforts and we're working by may say with our american friends on this issue as well. our friends and supporters of nasm in now believe very strongly that on the basis of evidence the these jewel nationality british iranian or rainy and your nationals are simply being used as political hostages that their very firm conclusion now of course as i mentioned as an ins legal team now has $21.00 days to appeal against this sentence and the other suspicion the other belief is that she's part of a much bigger diplomatic issue here for example there is a $400000000.00 pound that's around $600000000.00 debt that is owed by the british government to iran for the non-delivery of a consignment of chieftain tanks which was ordered by the previous shah of iran never delivered the british government admits it it was this desperate has been unable to actually pay it it's saying that is trying to find ways to pay us which

would certainly relieve the diplomatic tension but because of the sanctions regime against iran that's proving rather difficult there are there are bigger wheels in motion here than just 1000 inzaghi radcliffe and the other 2 nationalities but nevertheless nazanin and those other iranian nationals are being caught up in it. came paul brennan there live from london paul thank you. an oxygen shortage of hospitals in new delhi is growing more urgent by the minutes on monday the nation of nearly 1400000000 people registered another records in daily kovan 1000 factions more than 350000 cases 2800 people died in the single in the biggest single day increase so far in his capital has the best medical facilities in the country but it's also been struggling with emergency shortages salissa both purana has more from the just opened school with 19 care

center in new delhi. where outside and makeshift. center which is just opened to cater to the very large numbers of people who can't find hospital beds because all the hospitals in. the center has 500 beds oxygen delis leaders said that they'll be adding hundreds more intensive care unit beds to the indo tibetan border police are providing medical personnel and so we have other very distraught family members of the 19 patients trying to get them admitted here but they are being told that they still need referrals and that they need to pre-register and that's leading to a lot of frustration a lot of tears that they're having to go through the same thing here that they already have at many hospitals now india is seeing as much of a shortage of hospital beds oxygen and we have a lot of foreign aid coming into the country now the u.s.

is sending tons of oxygen concentrator has the u.k. sending ventilators and oxygen concentrator we have indian air force indian railways transporting the oxygen both locally supplied and the oxygen that's coming from overseas to try and to people as patients a dying because of a lack of oxygen and hospital beds and as india continues to struggle the government looks like it's trying to shelter criticism it's ordered social media firms. remove content critical of its handling of the pandemic dozens of posts on facebook twitter and instagram have been taken down censored posts include calls for prime minister narendra modi to resign and critiques from journalists and opposition politicians india's government says the poles were targeted for spreading board it called fake news and misleading information bangladesh is closing its border with india in response to the record breaking infection rates

banas facts of monday and excludes transportation all kids bangladeshi citizens in india will be allowed to return home as long as they meet strict travel and quarantine rules air travel between the 2 countries is already suspended as part of a nationwide laaksonen in bangladesh the european commission has taken legal action against pharmaceutical company astra zeneca it says the vaccine manufacturer has breached its contract to supply enough of the covert 19 champ the executive branch says the company also has not come up with a strategy to ensure the timely delivery of doses floats live in paris that's why is the commission taking this legal action against russia zeneca. well the commission is probably looking to put more pressure on astra zeneca and certainly salvage some of it's for reputation because the commission has come under a lot of criticism from some member states over the past few months over the slow

vaccine rollout in the european union commission blaming in part this slow rollout on astra zeneca i.i. the way it is certainly just the latest twist in this ongoing round between the british swedish pharmaceutical company and the e.u. commission of the commission says that it is launching this legal action because astra zeneca in its opinion has breached its contract has failed to deliver the number of doses it was supposed to deliver as agreed now astra zeneca delivered 30000000 doses in the 1st quarter of the year to the e.u. that is far from the 120000000 doses that the e.u. commission says that it had actually promised to deliver the new commission also said that astra zeneca could have for example diverted some doses that were produced in the u.k. to the e.u. to try and make up the shortfall now we have heard from astra zeneca they have

given a response to this legal action being launched against and they say that is that they say that it has no merit and that they look forward to the opportunity to be able to clear their name now the trasher all the e.u. states have backed this prior to some concerns about legal action tell us more. well the commission met with diplomats from the member states last week to try and garner support for this plan and we know as you say the e.u. member states have all backed the plan nevertheless there was some concern among some of the member states we know from for example among them and germany were worried that this legal action comes at a time when obviously the e.u. still battling the pandemic many countries including here in france for example still in a 3rd wave astra zeneca vaccine is one of the tools being used to try and stop the

further spread of the virus so in a way north in legal action against the company that stew to supply another 70000000 doses in the next quarter could be seen as counterproductive also there's a real risk of further damaging the reputation of astra zeneca a vaccine that has already had its reputation sorely shaken over the past few weeks and months a by several governments in the u. because the conflicting advice information on the astra zeneca vaccine now e.u. governments have really been a pains over the last weeks to say this vaccine is safe its benefits outweigh the risks never the less all of that criticism has shaken the reputation of this vaccine in the e.u. at a time when it is needed as i said as part of this vaccine rollout. of the live in paris thank you natasha. also russian know where there looks to be another setback for kremlin critical action of only a prosecutor's office has asked the russian courts to suspend its of its use of

foundation for combating corruption which he set up with army was jailed for a parole violation earlier this year recently did a hunger strike in prison he says the charges against him are politically motivated spurted smith joins us live from moscow bernard what work each of us about this. however later this week prosecutors will ask a moscow court to declare. corruption organization and his regional political organizations as extremists putting them on the same level in russia al-qaeda what prosecutors are now asking is that in the interim ahead of making that final judgment the court effectively puts its ban in any advance in issues of an injunction preventing these group from acting tall before the court's ruling the court hasn't decided yet however the regional political groups they have already

been stopped operating by the prosecutor ahead of the court's decision these regional political groups are significant because they are the groups that advise russians where to cast their vote if they want to unseat a united russia m.p. united russia's vladimir putin's party this tactic was very effective in moscow city council elections in 2019 and so there is a belief here that the government doesn't want to see those tactics repeated nationwide elections that are being held here in september and the valleys own group his people say that well they have stopped using the telegram channel they've stopped web sites and they've stopped all the social media channels but they will reappear perhaps under different names they'll be behaving in a more anonymous way but they will keep campaigning and so we'll probably see this i guess cat and mouse game between the russian or forty's and the volley and his

supporters as they continue to cry as they continue to try and carry on with their activism. and smith there live from moscow thank you notes. ukraine's president for the resilience he says he expects to meet with russia's fired near putin certain tension between the 2 has been escalating in recent weeks russia closed access to the character streets on saturday and it was a mass in large numbers of troops on new cranes border stratford has and updates on the situation from mario paul in ukraine. in another development the ukrainian president told the financial times newspaper that he wanted western leaders to support changes to the mix to agreement now mix 2 was signed in 2015 it is a series of proposals that has failed in its aim to forge a last thing ceasefire and political settlement in the east of this country zelinsky also told the financial times that he wanted to expand the normandy format

the normally format of the main negotiating partners of france germany russia and ukraine zelinsky saying he envisions a greater role for the u.s. and the u.k. in those negotiations very interesting lee soon after russian president vladimir putin spokesperson dmitri peskov described this. view as a no another alarming signal from ukraine he said it was a demonstration ukraine would like to modify minks this would simply be impossible without putting an end to it so despite this increasing confidence by the ukrainian president that he's going to speak to vladimir putin about the crisis in the east this in no way represents a thorin of the relationship and these kind of statements that he's made certainly to the financial times newspaper according to the kremlin are a worrying sign that tension is far from over in this region still ahead on
