a marriage from their capsule after returning from a months long stints aboard the international space station. and we look at how electric bikes in rules and way are set in women on a path to prosperity. india has seen another record daily rise in a coup with 19 deaths the health ministry says in the 3700 people died in the past 24 hours and there were 390000 new infections turned slightly from saturday the government's trying to expand its ranks a nation program but it's still struggling to meet demands or we can speak elizabeth purana who joins us now from new delhi. the latest official figures released from the health ministry suggest a slight dip in infection numbers nearly 3700 people dying in the past 24 hours

how does this risk correspond with what you're seeing only grinds. high halla so we're in a situation now where people are still dying because they aren't enough hospital beds and there isn't enough oxygen many people die at home because they can't find beds those deaths and not medically certified and so the number of people being cremated the number of quote that 19 bodies being cremated and buried predatory i'm say are much greater than the official numbers being reported every day we are outside a children's hospital in new delhi which tweeted on sunday morning saying that they only have enough oxygen to last until midday it is now hospital that day this hospital is treating code 19 pregnant women and children the delhi administration responded saying that they're sending 5 large oxygen cylinders immediately but this

follows. on saturday at another hospital which ran out of oxygen 12 patients including one of the hospitals and doctors because the oxygen supply was about 80 minutes late now dellys administration says that 18 states in the country have asked the central government. send oxygen immediately 17 have received the supplies they asked for except delhi is why the delhi high court has said to the central government enough is enough to send delhi the officer that needs immediately or it will have to start contempt proceedings against the government because it's been telling the government to do this for the past hard days. and unless we are watching this from around the world in horror international aid is arriving people are responding to the crisis that's unfolding in india but is it actually helping at all is this aids actually managing to get still the hospitals and the health

care workers you needed. not so far it hasn't we have had a lot of international aid arriving in the last few days but it has to be sorted out and then make its way around this very large country there are also reports that in the past aid has a 5 but that there aren't enough people who are trained to administer some of the aid that's arriving it's what promise and let into them already is holding a meeting on sunday morning not just about the shortages of hospital beds and also oxygen but the critical shortage of health care workers in the country at the moment ok elizabeth brahmin there reporting live from new delhi thank you very much indeed elizabeth. well a new contentious is strictly in law which threatens jail time for people returning from india is facing a growing backlash before it takes effect on monday anyone who's been in india

within 14 days of their planned states of return will be banned from entering the country is the 1st time is truly has made it a potential criminal offense for its own citizens to return home around $1000.00 australians in india are registered as wanting to return. the situation in india is dry it's very serious more than 200000 people have died and there are more than 300000 new cases a day when national cabinet they receive the most up to date briefing from our chief medical offices and their advice is that we need to put in place these secure midges with respect to people coming from india to australia so they temporary they'll be reviewed on the 15th of may but they're designed based on the medical advice to keep a strain say we can speak to elaine pearson she is the australian director for

human rights watch and joins us by skype from said nate's kids have where those on al-jazeera we heard there from the finance minister saying that this is a public health emergency and after all corona virus doesn't distinguish between those who hold this trail and passports and those who don't so wouldn't you agree that the government is justified in preventing all arrivals in the country on public health grounds who yes i mean this is really quite outrageous that the government has pinpointed you know these criminal penalties but it very harsh that a very disproportionate on people coming from india i think what the government really needs to be doing is looking at measures to ensure that people astray and superintend can safely quarantine because let's remember under international law the strains do have the right to return to their home country and any restrictions on that right really need to be very sort of carefully thought out they need to be necessary they need horseshit and frankly i think criminal penalties just aren't

the answer here we need to be looking at safe. but the government might argue that they don't have that many koreans in facilities available and i'm not a swift harsh measure is needed no to prevents that the crisis that's unfolding in india been replicated on a strictly insurers. well look of course we don't want to see you know the process that's happening in india you know taking place here but the government had already put in place you know very harsh restrictive measures they'd already blocked direct flights traveling from india earlier in the week until may 15th and i think that you know instead of focusing so much energy on changing the law to introduce an outrageous and creates it into the proposal to send people to prison if they dare to get on a flight to return to their home country instead they should be actually looking at what are the ways that we can ensure that strain citizens who do return home can

safely quarantine and that is where i think we're seeing a failure probably surveilling government so why do you think that's true the government is taking this action not the actions that you're suggesting ensuring more corn seed for soldiers and so on do you think this is motivated many way by racism. well it's certainly it's an extreme measure and you know quite frankly when we saw the crisis of coded in the united states in the u.k. you know we also saw these trailing government you know not implementing these sorts of measures there was never restrictions you know they had been quotas on the strains coming back from all countries but we did not see such severe restrictions implemented for people returning from the united states in the u.k. where we also saw coronavirus cases spiraling out of control so i think a lot of people are asking you know what is so different now about india that all of a sudden you would introduce this very discriminatory approach and i think you know

quite rightly this trail in medical association in australia has also come out and has said you know the focus really needs to be on ensuring that there are safe parking facilities interfering with that right of return to one's home country is something that governments you know really should not should not be doing any even with other governments that have introduced bans on flights from india they have still allowed their own citizens to return home and as surely as long had a very hard line attitude when it comes to border controls and who they alone in the country regardless of whether they hold an assyrian passport or not do you think this control would say that it's no that streamlines themselves are being subject to these harsher control so you think this might have representation in some way or perhaps change show the australian public views immigration controls and future. well look i think unfortunately 3 years in a stray we're shutting the borders to certain groups of people that are deemed to

be undesirable has polluted politically in every popular strategy in australia and so i think governments think that closing the borders can often be a solution and that they won't pay a political price for introducing that however i think what we've seen with coke is that we've also seen australian citizens you know bearing the brunt of these very restrictive policies and right now you know a lot of us trail ins are really asking the question you know what good is it to happen to straighten passport if you can even you know have a guarantee that you can return to morrow and so you know i think the government really needs to look at these policies and it also needs to ensure that it's abiding by its international or obliteration kalay in paris and they're the astrologer at her for human rights for it's great to have you on the program thank you very much indeed for talking to us here on al-jazeera. but his start is expected to receive 1000000 vaccine doses from china on sunday overall it's purchased 13000000 doses from 3 chinese companies will supplements the astra zeneca
