worst health crisis in its modern history for yet another day it's reported the world's highest number of infections and a record number of deaths a month ago today india reported just more than 62000 new infections compare that to the most recent figure of about 353000 recorded on sunday now the death toll 4 weeks ago 200 $91.00 deaths were reported in a single day on sunday it was more than $2800.00 the highest daily figure anywhere in the world several countries are coming out to help the u.s. the u.k. european nations and even india's regional rival pakistan are sending emergency aid our correspondent is a big problem reports from new delhi. india may be experiencing the world's worst outbreak of cholera that 19 but millions of people still turned out to elect regional leaders in the state of west bengal on monday it's one of 5 states that

has held elections in recent weeks despite the drastically rising number of infections. hospitals across the country are facing a critical shortage of beds and oxygen the u.s. and u.k. have responded by sending life saving medical supplies to india we want to try them all the support because they're close friends increasingly important partners but also we need this kind of international collaboration if we're going to get through the pandemic we don't be safe until we're all safe. once the aid arrives armed police are deployed to escort the precious cargo that says regional states accuse each other of stealing oxygen. soldiers guard a newly opened 19 care center and new delhi. there are 500 beds so far for the many family members who couldn't get their loved one to. better to hospitals even fewer people are being turned away being told that they can only be

admitted if they have a referral and have prevented just the center also says that it can't accept those who are critically leaving many with nowhere else to go. as many people die because of a lack of help promised on the day in the more he has been criticized for allowing the larger political and religious events to go ahead that led to the government asking twitter to take down dozens of posts critical of its handling of the pandemic stems primarily from the fact that this government does not take very kindly to criticism it's very sensitive to criticism and also from the desire to try and control the narrative as days have gone by this government has come in increasingly for criticism increasingly from citizens and also i may say front from the court. on monday the high court in the southern city of

chennai said india's election commission has single handedly responsible for the 2nd wave of the coronavirus elizabeth purana al-jazeera new daddy joining us from new delhi is rajiv dusk attachment of the center of social medicine and community health at j.n.u. many thanks for speaking to us here on al-jazeera let me 1st touch on something we saw there in elizabeth's package you were a community health doctor the fact that millions of people are still turning out. to elect a regional leaders today in the state of west bengal how damaging is that to the situation we're seeing in india in terms of covered. well as we know the election commission has been trying to enforce the standard operating procedures but it's been an uphill task if we talk or person well what's worrying all of us from our lead at this point is

a 20 percent plus positivity rate and that that that really implies that it did in the ascending phase of the 2nd wave and these as these activities are certainly going to have a role in the transmission so what do you think is going to happen next are we going to see the code situation getting worse in say the rural areas and move out of the cities well several states which are predominantly rural. village at there's going to be. there are also reporting relatively high. values in there and there are value above one implies an ongoing transmission so on an average india's our value is $1.00 virtually all states above one which means that we would need some more time for this book at least a bill is before it slows down so in short all states are in

a rising phase there would be a difference between the rural areas and urban areas obviously but if the if the experience from some of the states susan. rural areas seems to be somewhat more effective now than in the 1st phase but that is something we need to watch out for let's get into that more because my understanding is there are a number of different strains of the virus in india now as opposed to the 1st time covert struck you have the u.k. strain the south african strain you also have this mutant indian strain which strain is causing the most concern do you think. well. the federal government did well to put together the consortium of 10 national level board trees in n. december so the u.k. strain was identified as early as 28 december the b 1617 popularly the double milton but that's not really the new term to be

encouraged. the 617 was identified in early february so it is possible that these are linked to the at least the initial rise in cases in. which accounted for to do pretty large states russia being the 2nd most populous state both accounting for anything between 75 to 80 percent of daily new cases till about the end of march or even early april along with another 2 or 3 states which accounted for about 5 percent contribution each to the national new cases so in short it's most likely driven by these new a variance and the other issues such as the election or due diligence congregations and so on the key much later to be honest. so therefore as in all countries 2nd

so the 2nd lives are led by emerging mutant forms. so now we are talking about vaccines we're getting or india is getting a lot of help from the international community sending across shipments of oxygen or vaccines and so on how effective other vaccines going to be against all these different strains. that is something that in fact the knowledge you send the board to scientists engaged with at this point. is already in the program as we know the 3rd one has received authorization this book from the from the russian groups and and the initial batch of this were new vaccines are going to be directly imported from russia and inducted into the program so we believe that these 3 vaccines which will we have available in the program that were already available

and that would be strengthened would would certainly have a role in contributing to building up the population level immunity but that's not really the immediate term the immediate term over the next few weeks is about providing medical care and more importantly seamless medical care as the central government today underscored many thanks for your time dusk chairman of the center of social medicine and community health at j. . well neighboring bangladesh is closing its land border with india for 2 weeks in response to the outbreak there bangladeshi nationals in india will be allowed to return home as long as they meet strict travel and quarantine rules and travel between the 2 countries is already suspended unless has reported more than 70700000 cases and at least 11000 deaths. and in pakistan there are concerns the rising number of cases in india may

a difficult task the medical fraternity a lot of radio was strafed and 30 and a ventilator in an oxygen capacity and requirement it's already raging it's big if august and does not contain this particular pandemic in time it may see a situation the likes of which are just not seen before perhaps even as dangerous as next door india what is important now for the government to ensure that they're able to bring lockdowns back into the country so far that a partial lockdown interprovincial transport is affected except for the good transport that carry essential commodities all for sale of course have restricted their timing the government of sent a lower rate it closed off its head and workspaces an educational institution and the oto today's are keeping a close watch on what happened next district in the high before to inquire province have registered up to 40 percent politics gates said and that of course means that

pakistan may not have any other option but to go for a complete lockdown in order to mitigate this crisis. the european union is suing the pharmaceutical company astra zeneca after delays in the delivery of covert $1000.00 vaccines it's accuse the company of breaching its contract to supply enough jobs for the block astra zeneca says a legal action is without merit and that it has complied with its agreement let's get more less we can talk to natasha butlers in paris for us so natasha what is the commission hoping to achieve with this legal action against astra zeneca where you commission haven't been so clear on that but they might be wanting to put more pressure on the british swedish pharmaceutical company to speed up the delivery of its doses they've also come under quite

a bit of criticism from eve member states for the slow facts out in the e.u. which is a seen very much as being the e.u. commission's responsibility the commission saying that that slow rollout was in part due to the fact that they just didn't have enough astra zeneca doses at least not the ones that they said they were promised 30000000 doses of astra zeneca were delivered by the company in the 1st quarter of the year that's far short of the $120000000.00 doses that the e.u. commission say were promised under the contract that it signed with astra zeneca now that is why they're launching this legal action the you commission says that astra zeneca simply breached its contract and also failed to find other ways of making up the shortfall for example the commission said that astra zeneca could for example have diverted doses from the u.k. where those doses were being produced to the e.u.

where needed now astra zeneca has responded to this legal action they say that there's no merit in it and that they look forward to being able to clear their name in court many thanks for that natasha butler in paris. after a 3 week lockdown students in france have returned to primary schools despite a recent increase in infections resident in money says the decision may help fight social inequality as parents who struggle to pay for childcare be able to get back to work some fear it could lead to a rise in cases on monday france reported more than 24000 new infections. in italy for the 1st time in months bars restaurants cinemas and concert halls have partially reopened prime minister mario draghi says he's taking a calculated risk he's been under pressure from far right groups and anti lock down protesters italy's infection rates and intensive care missions have fallen the

condemnation of this move from senior politicians i mean the reason why i'm here outside the iranian embassy is because it's here in 2009 that nazneen zardari rockliffe attended government rally and anti government protest and during the protest gave an interview to the b.b.c. persian service and it's for that 12 years later that the iranian authorities have now prosecuted and convicted her for what they say is propaganda against the iranian islamic republic the reaction let's start with the foreign secretary dominic robb who said it was totally inhumane and wholly unjustified decision to come to this this conviction and we continue to call on around to release immediately the prime minister boris johnson then subsequently added his voice to the chorus of outrage i don't think it's right at all that knows and should

be sentenced to any more time in jail i think that it was wrong with it it's wrong that she's there 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 jewel 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 and paul what reaction has there been from her husband who i believe hasn't seen it since 2016 and the many others who were for so hard for her release. yes indeed as i say it's not just political reaction family and supporters have been reacting as well her husband richard radcliff said that it was clearly a negotiating tactic he said by the iranian or thora t's to prosecute and convict in this way the thomson reuters foundation for which no one in worked before

incarceration said this new sentence defies comprehension more for process justice and basic humanity now there is a glimmer of hope the lawyers for. now have $21.00 days in which to lodge an appeal they've already said that they will lodge an appeal on the grounds that it's taken so long to bring this prosecution so long after the alleged events took place and the other thing is that she hasn't gone straight back to prison as i understand it she will not be sent back into jail while we wait for that appeal process to actually take place so some small rest bite but it's not great news. many thanks for that paul brennan there for us in london to russia now where there looks to be another setback for the kremlin critic alexina valmy the prosecutor's office is asking the court to suspend the activities of the foundation for combating

corruption which he set up his anti corruption organization is one of several groups that could be added to a terror list that includes i cell and the taliban then you use these little possible court decision ruling that an organization is extremely steep will lead to serious consequences this is a criminal offense serious indicted by the fence and even people donating money to such an organization could be indicted then so let's say a person donated $100.00 rubles he could be indicted. germany when abounding spent 5 months recovering from poisoning says the course is not acting in a lawful way. untucked the german government condemned the decision of a moscow court based on a request of the state prosecutors to ban the activities of the valleys organization on suspicion of extremist activity using anti terror laws against political opponents is in no way in line with the rule of law. in very general

terms our position remains that mr developing must be freed he is in prison even though the european court of human rights demanded russian authorities in february to immediately release him. not looking. no nor his supporters what happens is what'll happen is that later this week prosecutors will ask a moscow court to declare his organization isn't a corruption organization and is affiliated political groups all around russia as extremist putting them on a level with al qaeda in the interim prosecutors of asked the court to make a ruling to essentially stop the activities of those groups while the court decides on a final ruling so we're expecting that now tomorrow on chews day volleys group say that they have stopped the social media postings they've closed that telegram

channel down they've closed there are the social media groups but they will reemerge under different names they say that they will keep spreading the. message and they will emerge under different names with the problem is that particularly for his political of political groups around the country what they were doing was they were advising people where and how to and who to cast their vote for in elections in a way that would dislodge local representatives of the united russia party that's right emir putin's party this was the only way of recruit reducing the representation of united russia in the parliament now this was a very successful tactic in 2019 moscow city council elections because it was so successful the government was want to see that tactic being employed in elections national elections here in september that is believed to be why prosecutors are asking the court to make that ruling then it's meant that for us in moscow thank

you. ukraine's president volodymyr zelinsky says he expects to meet russia's vladimir putin soon tension between the 2 nations has been escalating and recent weeks russia closed access to the straight on saturday and had amassed large numbers of troops on ukraine's border before pulling them back ukrainian troops have battled russian backed forces in eastern ukraine in a conflict that kiev says has killed 14000 people since 2014 more than 30 ukrainian soldiers have been killed this year after a recent cease fire collapsed child strife it has an update on the situation from mari poll 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 soaring over 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 al-jazeera. international and mental welfare we'll look at the impact of the pandemic on children in the philippines. family members of the crew of the sunken internation submarine pay tribute to their loved ones. and a record breaking name nights for steph curry in the n.b.a. chad will have all the sports sing. how i was swimming up nicely now across the middle east really starting to build up further north as still some damp weather in the forecast want to shout between the black sea and the caspian sea just around the caucuses. from that it really is more
