a shortage of oxygen in delhi and when we are completely dependent on supply chains insulin does then these problems are bound to our right it is a great idea to overcome that problem we have created an oxygen generation plant here in simple words it is a kind of oxygen concentrator on do with greater capacity we can give oxygen to about 18 to 20 patients at any given time with its help. more help is arriving from overseas cattle are sent 300 tonnes of ox. canisters personal protection equipment and other supplies india's vaccination drive is in full gear the queues are long with doses not always arriving on time al-jazeera is elizabeth purana was at one bank's a nation center in new delhi. we are in one of delhi 76 public schools which are being used as vaccination centers i am getting my vaccine after trying for days to make an appointment all adults everyone over the age of 18 was eligible for

so that it won't. impact them like the nationwide lockdown that the government imposed last year pakistan is closing its land borders with iran and afghanistan and the import of any new mutation of the virus the restrictions come into effect from tuesday night as also crossing international flights has more from islamabad. the government. and fact a very. poor kitty of. that day had found the bridge and the south african gradient of the white race and that port city of karachi which of god created bears not to mention that you asian that did working across the border and . don had decided to close and border don and relegate ron country to border and i've run it down in about 200 kilometers along with several border crossings and had over $900.00. 80 ron now what really happened

that because david heavy president traffic particularly from the. north be able to come into baghdad on however dollars of land who are living and bogged down want to go back to have run it down will be allowed to go back into of honest on their transit trade of course really continue drive and of god will have to go through a quick measured. and all that took his foreign minister who is leading a high level delegation to libya for talks with the unity government the defense minister and the intelligence chief are also going along he has been deeply involved in libya the u.n. recognize government of national accord against the wall old. train of islam for us in tripoli what does the government in tripoli get out of this trip. well i think libya and cherokee have very similar cultural background and

turkey is a very strategic ally as i mentioned in the previous lives in 200-1000 november 2019 when libya tricky a greed on the side in this maritime agreement they both expanded their territory in the mediterranean so libya has seen their their land and an opportunity for julian rise in the mediterranean expand very greatly and also i think church key is a very you know very compatible with libya in terms of training there their security apparatus there's lots of turkish companies that were doing in libya even before the revolution so their relationship dates back very long lot of years so there's a lot of similarities culturally the people here in western libya look at shirky as

a very important ally now when khalifa haftar launched his military campaign on tripoli it was turkey that supported the internationally recognized government of national accord that was able to push back with the military support pushed back his forces towards the east so here in western libya people look regard shirky as a strategic partner as a very important partner at that and so i think the libyans in general especially here in western libya believe that chirk e can help libya in development in the oil sector in the government services sector including electricity including construction so a lot of things again i think with this meeting for the libyan side and i think as well as the turks the turks want to broaden their influence in africa especially here in libya and i think this meeting is going to help them in that regard thanks
