hospital including one of the hospitals doctors because the oxygen out and the delivery was made government is saying the shortage here is because the central government still isn't sending in the supplies that it needs the delhi high court has asked the central government to do so immediately but there's been asking for the past 10 days and that it will be forced to initiate contempt proceedings against the government if it doesn't do so international aid is arriving including oxygen supply claims from france and belgium arrived on sunday but the needs are just so great with cases rising as much as they that people are still dying before that aid can reach them. the counting is underway in several states elections across india they were held in march and april large political rallies in the build up of being blamed for contributing to the 2nd wave of cope with 19 the results are

seen as a test of support for the prime minister narendra modi and his b.g.p. he has been criticized for focusing on the votes instead of making the pandemic his top priority. the injury yes yes and even joining the difficulties of covered 19 encase delhi indeed extensive election campaigns and made people very happy even if we get infected with coronavirus we do not kid we'll continue our celebrations ok let's get more on that let's talk to poor mina joshi she's the political editor at hindu business line she joins us on skype from new delhi. how can they stage successfully state elections in the current situation. but they have been doing good thorough despite the warnings especially in a state they spend on which is so one of the most populous states in the country. not only can the lection city not the 4 states in bangalore the safety in should

you pick for each faces and the last thing you did on april 28th are campaigning can give you would do the bill. bennett to make things where no election commission was forced ringback to issue warnings against public rallies it's a truck that also all they did or off to out were a whole lot of new and cry it was raised by i did media the concern that the various doctors etc had to focus on these has to be. this and this is going to do the search this thing all of the cases have been have been crazy but a 1000 cases and more but hey it's also a stooge which is that sitting at a sitting that you will still base. 2 out in the last since ever since that solution started. the are now waiting for or the so i wish to explore it in calcutta which is a popular city it has now said infrastructure that even dead leave it just struck

me that he got hit with a pandemic gets you heart out this or that i quote has been issuing what it wants to the central government which is not providing enough sausage and sent us and supplies to the hospital it went people died you know you know hospital including a doctor oh you know so far 747 doctors are going to look at the government just just to interrupt you for a 2nd if i may is the government actually asking people to leave their sick beds to go to vote. not true i don't think that has been done i was not particularly are i think it's it's a bit dramatic to see you know but what seems to have happened is that the government has not i'm big to the surge are adequately still i didn't say every march when the cases that started to rise they were busy preparing for elections so

i don't think it is that this was anybody's guess that it would be that the that the egypt you know any of that brought into the government actually people get their lives and go to where the court is just that they've been caught unprepared beach which in itself is so is not excusable at all given no given that the actual experience given the fact that the scientific community etc how big warning of a sick inside and are there has been are already so on on on that we get mutants and it's student loans and so on he knew what was coming to us and we did not manic adequately so also. pardon me put on various social media platforms and reportedly on various what sat groups there is a lot of anger across the country not so much what people are being asked to do when it comes to going through the democratic process but the fact that the

government staged the elections and stage the state elections anyway how do you think the government is reading that or reacting to it. i think they. got the bet i thought the side as also the public response to it in that that this search has been much more. widespread it has to be what it meant it has each us court wants that dilute the it has got to cross each but it's only or even talking about it more aging population b. but it will ringback not it is right now we have a situation when young people like night and i are there see their infrastructure hospital and scared systems that completely collapsed and that one thing that i keep the plea deal is that though that the central government was wholly unprepared to put it in separate on february 21st. a meeting of the national executive i covered that egypt is no idle they passed a political resolution that the chippy saying gainey that the prime minister now in

there what he had defeated and then all of these sandusky could claim that god how in giving you unity is so strong and you're not like that the best who works who are funded by the people who bang the mics and so on these kind of. this kind of triumphalism and they're venting to elections they're shocked and they had not prepared enough for this and people are dying it's what one does that's the oxygen that. the access to hospital beds it's absolutely inexcusable. you know but when you say it's inexcusable and when you say the government in effect rushed headlong that was the word you used just there headlong into the state elections is it your sense that the opposition therefore might do quite well out of this if only because it seems to me that india is like a microcosm of one of the main aspects of the consequences of coping 1000

a round the world the people who've got enough money to stay well stay well but the poor get poorer and for so many people in india they were poor anyway because part of the reason it spread so badly in india was because people were having to move around the country to get work to feed their families. yes you see this can get set 1 in indiana there are social inequalities are so huge and let me remind you that in the end you know follow them for the inside every day of that idea. you know and who died of not to be a people who do not have access to the 51 stuff how's it going for that if he didn't acknowledge so that situation i think not seized by the uploader the blind but it's us and the rich we have each the hospital and so it's not just that for let's see no pets and no not even people with money for lots of money you see

ringback these little benefit of those so it is not a big amount to anybody but you have been getting out before there was a lot of that a long time didn't you know that in the off topic did not know that maybe these and i'm being he still had that mental property as gets beat the heck out of the high fuck you fuck except that you are not a vaccination but it simply didn't come pretty manslaughter in this universe of the creation program you had you know to get it quite a few days back me thought i'd come someday soon be out of the woods but it got famous like sun never thought it was magical to have you get ready fancy. that because of the how. medical facilities in the us if you have the money to pay for it and for the poor that reality has been for you know that not that it's outside but you've got a dog they think it's going to help to give them access to just basic focusing

diseases like diabetes of water there are a few because those that have been killing indians for yourself but i notice that you mentioned some but that's a little not thinking plus a lot of thought i would say that he got a few striking across the board and we have to be not perfect at all and see if you look at the minute least the left have to say well that's have up on their heads guess that. our client didn't get enough astutely chance that we could have done a lot fire fights tend to get up because it's the structures they have created yes of up the crime that he does and the 2nd. they can be and then to actually get the systems they have to be able to tackle the pandemic grid so even though you get it now there are 3 different factions very high. about 20000 new cases that get nobody but the number of the elite that's that's that's what does it get now as opposed to our police not just this go for instance must mothers stick with the lesser number of guesses but that according to 93. and

b do not know for sure what is happening in the most populous state in india which is the british and i have a suspicion that you so put up with it but ignore that we don't buy it but of course also from people i talk to is that there that number of cases up in some place that number gets up and go on doing it i'm going to have to stop you there which i do apologize but thank you so much for joining us there from new delhi joshi political editor of hindu business language talk to thank you. a contentious new law in australia which threatens jail time for people returning from india is facing a growing backlash before it even takes effect on monday anyone who's been in india within 14 days of their planned date of return will be banned from entering australia those who disobey could be locked up and find it's the 1st time australia has made it a potential criminal offense for its own people to come home some 1000 australians

in india registered as wanting to return. the situation in india is dawoud it's very serious more than 200000 people have died and there are more than 300000 new cases a day when national cabinet made they receive the most up to date briefing from our chief medical offices and their advice is that we need to put in place they 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 site. elaine pearson is the australia director for human rights watch she says safe quarantine methods should be the government's main focus. this is really quite outrageous that the government has pinpointed you know these criminal penalties that have very harsh that are 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 through return 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 caution it and frankly i think criminal penalties just aren't the answer here we need to be looking at safe syllabi 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 travelling from india earlier in the week until may 15th and i think you know instead of focusing so much energy on changing the law to introduce and outrageous and preset into 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 the strain citizens who do return home

can safely quarantine and that is where i think we're seeing a failure are probably struggling government pakistan is expected to receive $1000000.00 vaccine doses from china on sunday it's purchased a total of $17000000.00 doses from 3 chinese companies they will supplement the astra zeneca vaccine being delivered through the kovacs program pakistan has an ocular to just over 2000000 people out of a population of 220000000 come on harder has more now from a hospital on the outskirts of islamabad. 19 rock from china most of the rock that have come in. are donation or a gift from the chinese government however. recognition from china which i like next month and it going to be producing a vaccine which i need. to get done.

a lot all of our counseling and also all in the social media is in the news. a lot of like such a small and why meant to the detain them because i'm glad you're. on the can even met face to face that they didn't hurt us alive or so that we can affirm that is happening the same military said the have dan that said sure why nancy i think india last 5060 years ago in korea and it changes in jan in the kind of 2 states said we got a lot off of the plots and information night for example in 2000 and. 3 god report on life into ring my eye to the little guy and so on jan women

on the very go on the mother's side there they make so many bad things to the girls that we met him all right now ok turn your attention to the top stories in europe northern ireland turns $100.00 on monday as interior that's unlikely to be acknowledged south of the border a former irish president has told al-jazeera the partition in 1921 was a tragedy that continues to have consequences today drew simmons reports from dublin. mary mcaleese is unlike any other former irish president she grew up in northern ireland a catholic living in a protestant area in the violent seventy's a family forced to move out sectarian conflict groups the irish war of independence from britain between 1919 to 921 had led to the partitioning of the country and the birth of northern ireland exactly 100 years ago thousands of civilian lives were

lost in the interim isn't conflict that followed mary mcaleese is calling on protestants not to mark monday's sent tina ri with triumphalism language that is used is so important to be to use language that that doesn't other the people that you share the island with or your share in northern ireland with but language that shows that you're sensitive to their concerns one word the right way can you know it can open people up and it can make them consult them hearts whereas one word the wrong way and you can harden hearts some are using the word celebration that is a difficult word and so for very far most of the centenary is that we have been through we haven't used those words we've used the word commemoration we've used softer words we've used words that open up to inclusion and that understand that there are some for whom this was a tragedy and not

a when something lives ironic that the santini comes at a time when irish unity is edging back onto the agenda helped by bricks at the puts an e.u. trade border in the irish sea separating the u.k. mainland from the island protestants fear alienation the government here in dublin sees ari's unity as a distant prospect officially at least could it happen sooner rather than later well there's a growing body of opinion that it could do you will never solve the problems of northern ireland bye bye. what's the good friday peace agreement recognize something that fighting couldn't a chief i read for random on irish unity dependent on catholics becoming a majority that's likely to be confirmed in due u.k. census then britain decides if there is a referendum this is the birthplace of irish democracy and there's another factor briggs it took northern ireland against its will out of the european union so for a lot of center middle ground people

a united ireland is the only route back to the european union and the advantages which they enjoyed as european union citizens and many young people in the south support reunification and what their leaders to put more emphasis on the cheating and i think that the planning and preparation for a should be because immediately to mitigate some of the damaging impacts of bragg's it particularly and what we've seen with solar political leaders a lot of the time is putting it on the long finger and pointed to some indiscriminate days in the future but irish history with all of its overwhelming violence may be the biggest obstacle for now on both sides of the divide many feel reconciliation still has some way to go under simmons' al-jazeera. just a few hours ago for astronauts splash down to earth from the international space station they were helped out of the space thanks greg and capsule on board a ship of the u.s. state of florida is the 1st time a crew has been brought home by a space x. a private company the partners with nasa they hope to one day send crews far beyond

the international space station the space x. and nasa tears return to human space flight back to the united states and i think this is a remarkable achievement the opportunity of a lifetime for many of us and something to be proud of thank you nasa and we're looking forward to many more flights with the space station and beyond more now on mars. let's talk now to david brown astrophysicist at we're a university here in the u.k. david good to talk to you again so 1st time it all 1st time in 50 plus years it was a night time splash as far as space x. concerned let's take a gold star good morning yes absolutely this is gone based pretty much according to plan and i don't think that space x. could've done anything better or imagine this this splashdown and recovery effort going any better what are we learnt from the mission. so the astronauts have done

some interesting experiments on board the space station looking into things relating to heart tissue and and some other interesting microbiology experiments but from an operational point of view i think this really does show the power of the collaboration between nasa and space x. and this is the conclusion of that for us crude operational mission for the commercial crew program it's gone swimmingly and everything according to plan and the program is already progressing with the crew to launch a couple of weeks ago so i think this just demonstrates that the model works and that it's a model nasa will pursue in the future are nasa and space x. a.k.a. elon musk are they in exactly the same space when it comes to where they want to go with this because nasa seems to be almost hedging its bets but elon musk on the one

hand is saying yeah well we should be thinking about mars in the future but he's also just last week i think it was 10 days ago he was saying people will die and that's something that nobody from nasa i guess would ever say but ylem us can kind of get away with that but that's kind of a wake up call isn't it. yes it is and it's an interesting point all crude spaceflight comes with risks and it is a difficult business and it is a dangerous business and we saw that with the shuttle program. you're right that nasa would never come out and say publicly that people are going to die it's not something that they as a government agency could ever say out loud it's also something but by their very nature they are risk averse they will do everything in that power to absolutely minimize those risks mask being. a mask and head of a private company and he said can can makes these slightly more outlandish

statements i think in terms of their general goals the 2 companies don't align 100 percent i think it is. of mutual benefit to the 2 of them to work together it brings benefit to both companies but i don't think that will stop space-x. from pushing ahead with its own program to further its own goals that might be slightly different tenaces you're talking to us david we're looking we're reminding ourselves of the pictures of the astronauts coming out of the capsule and this is undoubtedly very impressive and it's it's got a good feel good factor to it particularly for america just because you know america has suffered it's got you know suffered because of covert and coronavirus but they've got a new president so that they maybe need stuff to feel good about themselves particularly after the way that the original you know the old nasa space campaign

came to a literally an explosive i guess would be a fair description but what we're looking at today come if i'm wrong here is that just baby steps because ylem ask is saying he wants to establish nothing short of if he can a self-sustaining martian colony i mean that must be 50 years away at least 100 years away. yes he has made his ambition in that direction very very clear he also has quite an ambitious timeline for achieving outs. in terms of making the colony self-sustaining yes we're talking about decades but he's talking about much shorter time frames of establishing people on the surface of mars. space x. . are looking to go straight to mars without without stopping elsewhere

in the middle nasa are looking at using the moon as a test that and developing systems on the moon and making a return to the moon 1st before they then progress to to mars later on i think that your right in some ways this is baby steps on that grand that grant program that granted elements idea of expanding human space flight once again but i think it's still a significant step that this mission this whole mission has gone quite so well ok david great to talk to you again thank you so much for joining us here on the news hour david brown there at the university of warwick. still to come here on the news for you the scenes of chaos in colombia as anger over tax reforms turns violent and we look at how electric bikes in rural zimbabwe assessing women on a path to prosperity and the sports news sunday of course one of basketball's

means support the afghan security forces that would be a mistake all the taliban spokesman sue hale shaheen has told al jazeera ols foreign troops must leave immediately we have not the strength the. second person that beats the government and the state so that's faith in the uk and it was not only what you did it's what you are so they are not maybe i missed it but that is getting. there and also the fact that we did get the equipment that they did not to. tell you what they had made the commitment about the food supply now that decision thinking i was going to let their ship was the fact and creature that to be

implemented we are awaiting the end of the case that osama bin jade's has been following the negotiations in doha. there is little progress on the ground you've seen the attacks spiking you've seen the scathing criticism coming from the afghan government and if statements are anything to go by you heard the taliban spokesman there talk about investigating the logar attack which in which civilians were killed and you heard from the afghan president saying that the taliban were responsible so it is going to be a continuation of competing narratives in a very divided space in the grandstand as u.s. forces prepare to leave their formal drawl has begun from me the 1st and the cording to the u.s. president will be completed by september the 11th and this is this remains to be the sticking point the taliban saying that because they signed an agreement and committed that they will withdraw by me the 1st and the other side saying that the taliban has not really shown enough progress in severing ties building bringing

down the level of violence and negotiating in good faith with the afghan government and there's a lot of frustration doing the rounds not just on part of the afghan government but other officials as well who've been trying to tone down the taliban's rhetoric in saying that you are a party to the conflict in afghanistan is not going to look like what it did 20 years ago. violence was broken during mayday marches in colombia as people demonstrated for better workers' rights and against proposed tax changes the president's event ok as back down on some of the changes people say they'll still be worse off. the reports now from. this fight rising coby in 1000 infections in the risk of violence tens of thousands of colombian stick to the streets for a 4th straight day on saturday in bogota one group gathered at a national park to continue protesting against a controversial tax reform that they say would raise taxes on the middle class at
