provided glimpse into someone else's work. in the world god. inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers. i am the voice we are the voice. on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. the time is 1500 hours g.m.t. on come all santamaria welcome to the news hour from al-jazeera india has reported another record rise in corona virus cases pushing its health system to a breaking point while a shortage of oxygen kills 12 patients in new delhi. also in the news workers around the world rally for their rights on may day we're looking at how the pandemic that was affected jobs and working conditions somalia's lower house votes

to cancel a 2 year term extension it had approved for its president as it tries to defuse an armed standoff and the final phase of the u.s. troop withdrawal from afghanistan is underway but there's concern more attacks from the taliban will only make the country unstable again. and sport up to the longest absence of his career le bron james is back in action but his return from injury failed to inspire the l.a. lakers to victory. however when it is the worst coronavirus surge in the world and it is only intensifying on saturday india reported 400000 new cases of covert 19 which accounts for nearly half of global daily infections and nothing seems to be changing the hospitals are still in desperate need of oxygen in fact the bumper hospital in new delhi is the latest to of run out of 12 people dead and on to that

another tragedy 16 people killed in a fire at a hospital in good get out how are officials across the country responding well lock downs are being extended in the capital new delhi as well as several other states but there are calls for stronger measures than that in fact america's top infectious diseases expert dr anthony fauci says a nationwide lockdown should be imposed for several weeks there are tough travel bans in force as well the u.s. has become the latest to restrict travel in india from tuesday only u.s. citizens and permanent residents will be allowed back in the other thing india is doing is expanding its faltering vaccination program to all adults but even that is fraught because it's facing a massive shortage of vaccines. well start with this from the new correspondent elizabeth cohen reporting from new delhi. a group of friends celebrate receiving their coronavirus vaccinations in new delhi there some of the

lucky ones who managed to get an appointment signs at many vaccine centers around the country read there out of doses despite having a population of $20000000.00 people india's financial capital only has $20000.00 says for those between the ages of $18.00 to $45.00. we were told that it would be a 1st come 1st serve thing year but the vaccination center years dysart it we will see what we're going to do whether we'll get it or not. the government said everyone above the age of 18 would be eligible for a vaccine from saturday but most regional leaders say they don't have enough doses to expand the program the sign reads welcome to the world's largest vaccination drive but despite india being the world's largest vaccine manufacturer and concept why enough doses to its people this is one of just a handful of private hospitals in new delhi that were able to procure vaccines to

inoculate people between the ages of 18 to 45 on saturday. the online registration also isn't accessible for the hundreds of millions of indians who don't own computers all smartphones don't have an internet connection india is also running short on oxygen despite international aid arriving. on saturday staff at one hospital in new delhi said patients had died including one of their doctors when an oxygen delivery was late. her mother heart may do her. well you're doing what we can but we can't think about what we can't control god see please try to organize oxygen for us there was a gap of 45 minutes when we didn't have oxygen we did everything we could we used all our cylinders but despite that we couldn't save 6 of our i.c.u. patients. the death toll later went up to at least 12 health experts are asking the government to impose more restrictions to ease the pressure on the health care

system currently i think india has to step up its containment measures these measures are to be very aggressive and we should also have logged on. to get at least transmission that is. scientific advisors appointed by the government said they want officials in early march of a new and more contagious variant of the coronavirus despite that the government didn't impose restrictions and allowed people to gather at large political and religious events elizabeth piron of al-jazeera new delhi always a pleasure to have doctorate final thing with us on al-jazeera never to me ologist senior fellow at the federation of american scientists and former health economists at the harvard chan school of public health lovely to have you with us dr i mentioned earlier john if you heard what dr anthony felt she was one of the people saying actually we need a nationwide lockdown and we need it now and we need it for

a few weeks would you agree with that that could act as i think they call it almost a circuit breaker. yok india right now has reached so out of control that a certain group is definitely what is needed now i want to emphasize lockdowns are difficult this is why a lot to be combined with government assistance to help people stay at home because when they don't know how to help people won't be able to stay at home so this is really key to lock and must be combined with governments but that obviously we need more than just that we need to actually have rapid testino p.c.r. testing is limited but the rapid energy in testing are very inexpensive and can easily be purchased in the hundreds of millions and so those new really need to be deployed and of course the oxygen crisis you know there's besides awesome shipments you can also we need to ramp up oxygen concentrator machines that can actually do

no go concentrate oxygen supply for people we need all that now and of course on top of that vaccine production and vaccine sharing of knowledge about vaccines in a moment but one of the elements i wonder if is needed is government leadership now without getting too political i'm just going to show our viewers here a tweet from prime minister narendra modi where he's visiting a sikh temple and paying respects there but we're seeing him out amongst a lot of people and i'm just wondering if that is really the best. thing he should be doing and example to be setting. and that's right these government leadership really makes a difference because people look to government leaders are doing now always to new and if government leaders are wearing masks the government leaders of rallies were telling rallies that the signals that a lot of the people especially supporters will turn to so really matters i mean we seen that the leadership around mass around distancing has made

a difference around the globe but i think also in addition that when any of his local chief ministers of various states are ordering crackdowns are against hospitals and people clamoring for help for assistance for oxygen in mostly not saying anything and not blocking and or stopping these crackdowns against people threatening to seize property that also sends signals we need leadership that will stand up and say yes this is a crisis yes there are certain shortages and yes i hear your cries rather than trying to silence the public ok tim 2 more things i want to ask you about 1st one is oxygen because you've mentioned it a few times and the oxygen shortage is so crucial i'm still trying to really get my head around how you can have an oxygen shortage and how that can be alleviated. the oxygen shortage there's a limit on the production capacity and the other issue is it's harder flying in

oxygen. and sometimes it's a very sensitive thing but you know one thing besides obviously don't answer it auction as well as austin concentrator machines the other thing is the one the mars uses a car is actually the space industry liquid oxygen is used for rocket fuel and if all of this global space agencies use their oxygen and let them postpone a few missions and ship their oxygen to india that would make a huge huge difference as well because the global production of liquid oxygen most of how that actually goes is based on history and i wish they would also step up and postpone some of their emissions your in the name aiding in the that's fascinating i think we'll have to follow up on that one had some stage final thing i want to talk to you about is vaccinations i believe at the moment it is about one or 2 percent of india's 1300000000 people fully inoculated yes they are expanding

it and saying all adults can now get vaccinated but i mean the vaccinations the long term game isn't it that is not going to have the immediate effect that india needs right now. is it will take a while to. produce them as well as people's arms and they don't take several weeks for them to start working back seems not vaccines is the law. is the long run how do you prevent this from coming back. or waves and in this roller coasters of tragedies vaccines is also something there are india thought that they could produce enough of clearly they do not and the rest of the world that was reliant on india obviously is now very disappointed that in the year is not shipping them understandably to the rest of the world in certain ways there are low cost vaccines in the pipeline for just a $1.50 there's also a. there's huge numbers of companies around the world from. who can produce how the

technical know how to reduce it they just need the app and suite so you details on a technical specification to actually produce the dark scenes and i think it's high time that we waive these vaccine vaccine patents not just our sales force some of the current companies are saying completely wave for the pandemic so now we can get more production from all these different countries around the world exactly for the greater good is an adult. a pleasure thank you so much for your time do appreciate it let's take here elsewhere around the world cambodia where the army has begun vaccinating people living in the most infected areas makeshift hospitals were set up in the cities of pen and talk now the government has declared parts of them red zones following an increase in cases tighter lockdown measures were also imposed a new daily record of nearly 400 cases reported on saturday also a 3 week inoculation campaign underway in syria's regions remember this is the last

rebel held area of the country people began getting their covert 1000 shots after delivery of nearly 54000 astra zeneca doses the campaign comes as there's a surge of new infections more than 640 people have actually died from covert related complications in the labor and more than 21000 cases have been reported with its health care system of course damaged by the war it's not clear how accurate those numbers are. and then we look at brazil which has seen a record number of deaths for the 2nd straight month as it struggles with its 2nd wave april was the worst month of the pandemic with more than 82000 deaths and activists say the government simply must do more to stop the spread the support is from monaco you know of. rio de janeiro's iconic copacabana beach covered with hundreds of body bags a tribute to the 400000 brazilians who watched their lives to cool that 19 nish

galambos we cannot accept these dates quietly if we do we will be accomplices of the crimes committed by those who govern us that's why we stage this awareness campaign. and blames president jalal so narrow for downplaying the virus and delaying the vaccine rollout. plan upon the media will people were dying and starving he was writing a jet ski and participating in the democratic protests to shut down congress in the supreme court but he was only able to do this because he still has the support of the many brazilians. every hour the group held a symbolic funeral a reminder that the pandemic in brazil is spreading rapidly and is far from over vaccine shortages have put the knock you lation campaign on hold in many cities like brazil health minister myself i made an appeal during a world health organization if we feel good on friday. feel

good we're calling again on those who have vaccine surplus to share it with brazil as soon as possible so we can move forward broaden our vaccination campaign contain the pandemic at this critical time and avoid the proliferation of new variant result of the 2nd country in the world have reached the grim milestone of 400000 deaths by covert 19 but it's not the only country in the region facing difficulties in latin america as a whole is taking a turn for the worse the region accounts for more than one 3rd of coronavirus deaths in the world but only has 18th of the population. well they most of the countries in the south don't call and you're not going. to make. countries like rule of law or argentina uruguay and aiyana are reporting a brahmana big rise in factions and their health services are overwhelmed

infections in colombia are also rising in hospitals in big cities like medellin are running out of beds. on just euro we have does your narrow coming up a quarter past this news hour here is what is ahead thousands of people forced from their homes by a cross border battle between stan and to take a stand in. the philippines a baptism of fire as the nation commemorates a famous battle look at how catholicism has shaped its past and its present and sport one of the world's top golfers gets by with a little help from her friend farai is here. with that story a little later. well labor activists around the world are marking may day international labor day with rallies and marches this is istanbul where police clamp down on

a gathering which was held in defiance of coronavirus restrictions there were scuffles between police and protesters gathered in tax and square local officials say some unions were committed to hold commemorations around $200.00 people were arrested for taking part in the so-called illegal gatherings. minor scuffles as well between riot police and protesters in the french capital large crowds gathered there and in dozens of cities across the country despite again the coronavirus restrictions the unions are calling for special funding for the health system and better protections for people who have lost their jobs. and colombian unions have called for further strikes on may day protests against the president even to do case that economic reforms become increasingly violent friday police fired tear gas the crowds who threw rocks and lit fires in bogota some of the worst violence was in cali where one person died and more than a 100 or. so that's where we're going to be focusing latin america and europe on

a sun program with him in a moment in bogota but we're starting there at the protests in the heart of paris natasha. yes tens of thousands of people have been know walking through the streets of paris as part of these may day rallies i'm just going to move slightly out of the way and if you look behind me the street there that's where people are starting to arrive on this square it's called the plaster line that's you all they've taken quite a while to walk across the can just see people are starting to arrive you can see some flags there and then if i move this way you can also see that there are thousands of police officers they have been deployed across the city of course to try and keep things peaceful but we did see some violent incidents a while earlier between some some protesters and police some protesters actually smashed up a bank set fire to some bins and some vehicles in the street so some violence but

otherwise it has been mainly coal now the reason that most people have come out today is for really a variety of reasons you have some trade unions who have called on workers to take to the streets to demand better pay and conditions there's a lot of anti-government sentiment a lot of present micro sentiment many people say that the government and the president have mishandled for example the covert 19 crisis we are still in the middle of a pandemic this demonstration have to say is one of the 1st we've had for several months because of the health emergency we've also seen. lot of high profile politicians some on the far right the far right need to bring the pen using may day it's usually when she gives her annual address she has said reelecting president in one year because we've just about 12 months until the next president presidential election bring chaos to france you've also seen a lot of politicians on the left the socialist policy was absolutely decimated in

the last presidential election and a lot of left stations are in this demonstration trying to really galvanize support as many politicians are really starting to gear up for their campaigns for next year's election ok that is natasha reporting from paris the may day protests there now it's on the ramp yes he let's go to him in bogota take us through what's happening there. people are gathering here for a 4th straight day for another they have protests and demonstrations here in the capital that we are. what's called. the national park a few thousands of people are already here getting ready to march towards central. leave we're hearing rumors that they're going to try to reach the presidential palace today so far everything is peaceful here but we've seen repeated

clashes moments of violence between the protesters and the police into the night both here in the capital but the number of cities across people who are protesting a tax reform that would increase taxes on many basic items and food people are extremely angry at the government. at that time rising inequality rising poverty and the country due to the code. that make they laid. that was recently government agencies pretty much says that the country has slipped back more than 9 years and the progress say they made. bringing people out. of poverty and what we are seeing here is that more and more. while some of them are organized by unions such as this one. part made up of people

coming out to spontaneously. these are desperate people hungry people that want help from the government that the stats say they're. seeing a reform that once you increase their their taxes now these are confirming that there has been no people die. in the head by the police. of the human rights organizations are saying that there might be several dates and that's being. speculation that's for another long day of protests and demonstrations thank you. on international labor day. somalia's lower house of parliament has unanimously voted to cancel an extension of the president's term in office president mohamed for maggio's directed the prime minister to prepare for elections instead parliament approved

a 2 year term extension last month that sparked protests and financing in the capital. ended in february but he stayed on talks for the new election story. following this one for us from nairobi. this move today on the part of parliament is certainly expected to deescalate the tension that we've seen recently in somalia's capital mogadishu just a week ago different factions of the security forces were fighting each other those who support the president known widely by his nickname farmer joe were fighting with other factions that support the opposition now the opposition had objected to parliament voting to extend his term by 2 years they said that was illegal and followed the failure to hold those elections that were meant to happen in february now there are still some fairly major hurdles in in the weeks ahead from september last year up until february the central government and the governments of the 5

semi autonomous states couldn't agree on the terms for this election to go ahead that's why it didn't happen that agreement still needs to be reached now if it is to happen and it's also important to understand that the election that's planned isn't one in which everyone gets to vote rather community leaders will get to choose members of parliament and members of parliament will get to elect the president and there's a lot of mistrust from the opposition in from government and they. wants to stay in power lot of the opposition think that he won't agree to the terms of any election that doesn't favor him so there are certainly some major challenges still to be resolved in the weeks ahead if indeed that tension is to be deescalated in the fears of violence that we saw last week was a lot of people thought could if you didn't go well end up with the country returning to a state of civil war let's hear from me now an associate professor of security

studies at carr university and the author of understanding the somalia conflagration he says somalia can only move forward if there are fair and inclusive elections. so there has to be an election but that election has to be also inclusive and there must be an agreeable. prime minister or president and here today by the way the prime minister will face a number of challenges. everybody mistrust the government so he has to earn the house to restore the confidence that was last 2nd he has to actually engage all of the parties that have issues with this election that are 5 issues by the way the actual i mean task is very difficult to the problem is that the people do not trust the people do not want to talk to each other because obviously the president or a number of the aftermath has had issues with each other and also the opposition

groups and the whole school at the environment has been securitized remember that this decision. divided the school to 40 so now the military saw mali as a national army forces that are fighting units of mogadishu and that's really bad so i think the good thing about this perhaps for the president and for the house of the people is that they're trying to correct maybe there are mistakes and leave a better legacy even if they don't come back for the election that is good for everyone i mean inclusive credible. free election is the only way out and it's a good thing for every party in the process. a powerful car bomb has killed at least 24 people and injured dozens in the eastern province of afghanistan where groups claimed responsibility for this attack comes as foreign troops begin their

on the news hour here at al-jazeera and these are the top stories india recorded more than $400000.00 new coronavirus cases accounting for nearly half the world's infections in the last 24 hours and so the government is expanding the vaccination drive but it is struggling to meet demand 12 people also died at a new delhi hospital because of a shortage of oxygen and goods around a fire at a hospital was killed 16 kopechne 2 patients. and somalia's lower house of parliament has unanimously voted to cancel an extension to the president's term in office after protests and fighting president mohamed up to life are modulus direct to the prime minister to prepare for election it's. the president of the democratic republic of congo has declared what he's calling

a state of siege in 2 provinces this is to control escalating violence between armed groups in the mineral rich east so long as the military to take control in north kivu and trudi where the 300 people have been killed and more than one and a half 1000000 displaced since january. severely is an analyst at the center for research on the congo. he doubts that this latest military action will actually make a difference. as just clearly pointed out the military is going to take control of the region this is a pretty ludes to what i believe would be military operations in the area and it's worrisome because we have had military operations in the r.c. i mean this is not the 1st time we've had that for the past 2 decades me as a chorus of that in the conflict and they have been the largest u.n. prosy peacekeeping forces in the world in the r.c. they have a $1200000000.00 budget and they about $20000.00 troops who are into the r.c. so hearing this that the siege taking place you may bring confidence to the

population as this is it off in the right direction but the question that must be asked is how 'd is this military action different from previous military actions we know we had military operations in the past such as a money layo which is peace now there was another one called wanting to which is about the cleaning up of the rebel groups at the end of all these military operations congolese were still being killed and that brings us to world patrick comair it's a made in the in 2008 he's a former u.n. commanders say that the conflict in the congo beyond military pressure may put is actually a political problem on she'll be addressed the political problem any military solution placed on the sea will not address the issue and i'm hoping that we'll get to that it's like a ceasefire is holding between characters stan and ted he can stand after the

next month in an attempt to resolve the long running border dispute. that. the conflict between ukraine's army and russian backed separatists is putting pressure on those working at the frontline for example coal mines in the region of powered heavy industry for generations but now mine aside the fighting is making their work difficult. as i report now from. eastern ukraine. their shift starts with a pass right to the mine before they hit almost one kilometer underground. coal miners in eastern ukraine were relatively well paid and well looked after when the country was part of the soviet union and since independence 30 years ago but that changed when fighting started between russian bank separatists and the ukrainian army in 2014. it's very difficult living and working near the front line

it's dangerous because shells could hit the mine and we could be trapped underground and everyone wants to exploit us the mine owners the police everyone all those who should defend us they tried to put their hands in our pockets and rob us instead many of the men at these government own mind have received only 5 percent of their $600.00 a month salary since the start of the year. they blame corruption the conflict and slowing demand for resource that was the driving force of industry under the soviets and for at least a century before then. they turn on their head lamps and climb into the lift that will take them with 900 meters on the ground. much of the mines infrastructure is in a shocking state of neglect some disrepair and many of the mines have been damaged by the fighting in 2070 the government imposed an economic blockade on the russian backed separatist controlled territory then separatist leaders seized control of

the mines at least 95 of the 150 in ukraine. the vast majority of ukraine's coal mines are in separatist controlled areas 'd the ukrainian government estimates that more than half of the coal mine by separatists is relabeled russian coal and transported to markets in asia and europe and the ukrainian government calls this the. great accuses russia of stealing and selling ukrainian coal in order to offset the estimated $3000000000.00 a year mosco spent supporting the separatist controlled territory. what was what always everything has been stolen that's a simple fact these resources belong to the state of ukraine but their mind in extracted by those working for russia it's outrageous. group of miners here through the dark of the finishing shift some of had to walk up to

a kilometer along tunnels to the coalface. work the mine for 32 years i'd like to quit but if i do i'll die of hunger there is no other work and the pension i receive isn't enough to live on the miners have threatened to go on strike demanding the sonorous and better working conditions we can't stop the war but we can demand our rights. skier eastern ukraine. now and protests in may and march against the who have entered their 4th month hundreds of people staged a flash protest against the military jointer in the southern city of daraa way on saturday calling for a return to democracy and the release of political prisoners more than 750 people killed by security forces since the consumer price back in banker. now the red cross has demanded the closure of a former british army camp housing migrants maybe barracks meant to be a temporary accommodation and human rights groups say the use of

a military base is psychologically damaging for people living there many of have been tortured in or trafficked from the countries they fled and this journal reports the mental state of the men behind the wire wire is causing concern. napier barracks in kent has come to symbolize an asylum system increasingly hostile to asylum seekers receiving like us soon as they arrive a serious decline in their mental health and they really desperate they run they're running away. or they have suicidal ideation we've had several we've seen several suicide attempts already in the last few days a former british army facility long disused its accommodation is rustic the building's rundown napier has been condemned as filthy and unsuitable by independent specters and while residents are free to come and go many see constant reminders in the barbed wire and barred windows of past trauma. me fled

religious persecution in iran he communicates with us using a translation app on his phone. why i like. myself a soldier in iraq i stated the military barracks raunch. situation very well the situation is. very explosive thanks to. the red cross among others has called for napier to be shot immediately some people might you know torture. and some people might you know have very badly experience it so leaving beside. it in the defense and leaving behind a wife is in itself or in forking off reason like when decisions which is contrary to what they want to come here to to see yet while 2 similar barack

sites have closed napier remains open the government says improvements have been made since napier was closed down temporarily after a big outbreak of covert 900 in january followed by a fire said to have been started by the residents themselves and you can see the remains of that blaze over there all basic needs are now being met says the government and in fact there are plans to scale back up the numbers of people staying here from around 70 now to more than 300 in the coming week. one former resident who now campaigns for its closure believes napier's growing notoriety works as a deterrent to former residents up me here when i were among them they are keen to take them drift journeying in and go back to france because the conditions there appearing in a mubarak is worse than they were experiencing through their journey so maybe the people in the u.k.

and wish to say it mentally means that the people who want to come to say maybe are pushed back from that region and that may be precisely the point jonah how al-jazeera at napier barracks in kent does not end at theme park in california has welcome visitors for the 1st time in more than a year restrictions across the u.s. are being eased says the number of fully vaccinated americans now part of 100000000 of the world's 2nd most visited him is your heart will be operating at limited capacity and tickets are already sold out for the next 7 weeks people in the philippines are marking the 500th anniversary of the battle that changed an indigenous people's history forever. it was the start of evangelisation the move to christianity the philippines has the 3rd largest catholic population in the world after brazil and mexico and oregon reports from cbre in central philippines were the main celebrations have been held. a reenactment of what happened here 500 years
