foreign minister says millions more will follow and countries are sending aid into india as well as an air force plane from thailand which has flown in 15 oxygen concentrator singapore also sent liquid oxygen in cryogenic tankers france as well sending oxygen producing supplies well let's start with this from air india correspondent. 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 mum buy only has $20000.00 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 deserted 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 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. and don't have an internet connection india is also oxygen despite international aid arriving. on saturday staff at one hospital in new

delhi said patients have died including one of their doctors when an oxygen delivery was late. we're doing what we can but we can't think about what we can't control for god's sake 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 localized law down there even necessary to get at least transmission. scientific advice is appointed by the

government so 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. dr karl is the chairman of the hospital which we mentioned earlier this is where 12 people died because the hospital ran out of oxygen his wife is one of the patients undergoing treatment he says the situation is critical. the situation has again been stipulated but in the morning it was terrible well we were told it is only 30 minutes of 45 minutes of oxygen left the hospital has more than 250 patients in the pool we did begin and out of then at least to 70 patients equating i wish it oxygen in the i.c.u. and in the in the agreement wards and during my wife is also one of the rules here

and so we thought she was that it is not sit in there for more than 30 minutes now and all sorts of frantic efforts by the hospital management the oxygen supply in companies 2 of them which have been struggling for the last 2030 years all went you know on deaf ears because there is no oxygen the problem is that we don't see and if it comes to the pancreas to simulate the hospital in time and now the situation is that possibly we have oxygen. mayn't be in after that we don't know sue the hospital it was station is going on frantic calls to the government. the supreme court everybody when began this is really a very unfortunate and it really desperate situation there transport of oxygen is not possible in the form that it can be used. on to other news and labor activists around the world marking may day international labor day with rallies and marches

in the french capital there have been scuffles between police and protesters large crowds gathered there and in dozens of cities across the country despite the coronavirus restrictions unions are calling for better funding for the health system and more protection for people who've lost their jobs let's get an idea of what it's like with natasha in paris not many protests in recent months i guess natasha with the restrictions but the people came out today. yes despite to. make tens of thousands of people have been walking across paris they've been walking from one point to here this is called past and i. just see behind me if i step out the way people are arriving they've got their balloons that. are in the middle of this huge square they all gather and this is the end of this process is where it actually ends now. on this site so just to move across to this side you

can also see bruce off a nice offices thousands of police officers have been deployed across the capital to try and keep it say there have been some scuffles between protesters and police a bit earlier we saw the back being smashed up by schools and vehicles being sets a light at the moment but if you take us behind me because police are trying to actually lift people out of this square tried to encourage them to go on in terms of these may day protests in terms of why people have actually come out to the street there have been a range of issues and causes everything from climate protests is people who feel that the government hasn't done enough but the we've got trade unions who are calling for better wages better working conditions there's a lot of anti-government sentiment there's a lot of the president might call sentiments as well and we've also seen a political aspect because that in some very prominent french politicians the

leader of the far right party marine le pen as a major major address here she has said that relaxing french president obama for next year in the elections that will take place about talk months would be chaos for all it's and we also see not so not so far left and all titians the socialist party was decimated in the last election they are being that this protest will be the beginning of trying to galvanize their supporters as they were to try. all right that's natasha butler thank you in paris a little after 6 pm there we're now moving to colombia where people are already gathering off the unions called for more may day strikes a little after 11 am then all already there have been some sometimes violent protests over nice against the proposed tax reforms by president duke a and on friday police fired tear gas at the crowds who threw rocks and fires in

the capital bogota. some of the worst violence was in county or at least one protester died and more than $100.00 were injured. when a see it on a sunday or run p.s.e. can hear us connections a little difficult in bogota on a sunday. yes come out i can hear thousands of people are out on the street marching here in the cafe put up for the 4th straight day have the demonstrations obviously today it has to do with may day but this is also to consider the way these protests against tax reform and ever since it introduced the percentage to congress by the government of president $65.00 and as you were stating in past days these rallies have at times become fixed. for the city have had the now the government so far

oh tory do you have to pick one process. lead to place in the head by the police and number of human rights again you say something or say that several people have to have been killed and the demonstrations last say it's unclear how many of them. or so far less than a 3 and a half of them. have a well that there is. and this is for a certain part of many people in colombia it goes beyond this reform which he worries because it would have. had i think a. forward. saying. here just as. lost their job yes.

and i think by 7 points that could of course be true. that that means that millions of people are back in poverty in that country like. james the fraud with that i have made before they arrived. that have been lost and feel that the government's i mean i. think you're there and the other thing that we're seeing out like it's in the country is that these are not necessarily organized by unions or student association but more and more groups are just coming out there and confronting to police and that is the reason why we've seen so much of my alliance in a fast pace so far today everything is peaceful here we're going after see what happens in the coming hours the good stuff on a sunday or rumpy he right amongst the may day protests in bogota. there was a rally as well in tokyo capital istanbul where police clamp down on

a gathering held in defiance of coronavirus restrictions they were scuffles between police and protesters in taksim square local officials say some unions were permitted to hold commemorations the progress of lawyers association said more than 200 people have been detained. the world weather is next and then we're looking at how a coal mine in eastern ukraine is become a new kind of battleground in the conflict with russia and the polian so effects are option including a blood stained cloth that story and more on the way. it's time for the plastic johnny. winter sponsored play qatar airways. and just as you thought it stopped raining well the heaviest rains gone through japan but there is more to come more in the way of showers i think and given the

wind direction it's coming from the north it with the north face of the high ground of honshu that gets showers that still could produce some snows and wet spring snow sunshine in the laser tokyo should be doing all right and it's a little bit less cold i was going say woman less cold is a power about 8 degrees the sun's out elsewhere the wind has died down there's not much rain during this bring rainy season in china but there is more developing and there is running along the yangtze to probably eventually follow that course towards japan which is seeing is still fairly sherry day at least in northern home sure that being on monday the south of this as the rainy season is lost its real impetus in most of indonesia the least is the line to watch the southern even the central philippines now across borneo back to small sumatra in southern thailand has been plenty of rain in the form of big showers in thailand and vietnam they will be more the same and maybe more dangerously as things wolf from the cold become more humid throughout india and bangladesh is the time of year we get these

without jazeera and the top stories this hour india recorded more than 400000 new coronavirus cases accounting for nearly half of the world's infections in the last 24 hours the government's expanding its vaccination drive as well but it is struggling to meet the demand. that 12 people have also died in usually hospital because of a shortage of oxygen and encourage out a fire at a hospital killed 16 covert patients. and in other news thousands turned up to international labor day or may day protests across from the spike coronavirus restrictions there were scuffles between police and protesters so. to somalia where the lower house of parliament has unanimously voted to end a term extension for the president one that provoked anger and violence president mohamad abdalla who for murder was directed the prime minister to instead prepare for elections the ones that have been delayed parliament did approve

a 2 year term extension last month but that sparked protests and violence in the capital $100.00 to term ended in february but he stayed on because of the disagreements over the electoral process his muslim web following the story from nairobi kenya. 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

sending 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 farmer joe's government and they. wants to stay in power a 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 we didn't go well end up with the country returning to a state of civil war. the final phase of ending the u.s.

war in afghanistan is formally underway president joe biden previously ordered the patrol to begin no later than may the 1st so about 3000 u.s. and 7000 nato troops remain in the country all plan to leave in the coming months the u.s. presence in afghanistan of course back in 2001. the red cross is demanding the closure of a former british army camp which is housing migrants the use of napier barracks was meant to be temporary human rights groups say putting asylum seekers in a military base is psychologically damaging for them many are thought to have been tortured in or trafficked from various countries they fled reports the mental side of the men behind the 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're running

away. or they have suicidal ideation we've had. we've seen several suicide attempts already in the last few years a former british army facility long disused its accommodation is rustic the buildings 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. ibrahimi fled religious persecution in iran he communicates with us using a translation app on his phone. why like. myself as a soldier in iraq i stayed at a military barracks to run. the 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 help very badly experience it so living beside. it in the defense and leaving behind a wife is in need so for 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 coven 1000 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 are appearing in a barracks worse than they were experiencing through their journey so maybe people in the u.k. and wish to thank you jay 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 been here long conflict between ukraine's army and russian backed separatists is putting pressure on those working in the front line like the coal mines in the region which have powered heavy industry for generations but now the mine inside the fighting is making their work more

difficult child strafford reports from in eastern ukraine. the 8 hour shift starts with a pos right to the mine before they hit almost one kilometer underground coal miners in eastern ukraine were relatively well paid and well looked after 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 when you're one of them it's very difficult living a 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 lives that will take them 900 meters underground. much of the mines infrastructure is in a shocking state of neglect in disrepair and many of the mines have been damaged by the fighting in 2070 the government imposed an economic blockade on the russian backed separatists 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 out to markets in asia and europe and the ukrainian government

calls this the. ukraine accuses russia of stealing and selling ukrainian coal in order to offset the estimated $3000000000.00 a year mosco spends supporting the separatist control territory. it was a little boy everything has been stolen that's a simple fact these resources belong to the state of ukraine but their mind and extracted by those working for russia it's outrageous. group of miners appeared from the dark of the finishing shift some of had to walk up to a kilometer along tunnels to the coal face. of i've worked 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 stuff around to 0 skier eastern ukraine. to
