lose lose of from episode 2 on all just. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through here and i just we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. patients dying overflowing a vaccine program in chaos we have more in the hopeless condition of the people in india as kobe cases approach 20000000. i'm come out santa maria here in doha with the world news from al-jazeera the world health organization is reviewing china it's signed and sign of that vaccines for

emergency use i. also the growing discontent over time reform in colombia despite a climb down by the president the finance minister is now quit and a leaked report into the death of football legend diego maradona says his medical team was complicit in his death. hello again india approaching 20000000 confirmed cases of corona virus since this pandemic began another 368000 in the past 24 hours another 3417 deaths and worse still experts believe those numbers have yet to pick but while numbers tell the big picture this is the reality hospital in bangalore roo in the southern state of an africa bodies being taken away 24 people died there after the hospital ran out of oxygen you've got the queues of people sitting outside as well

distressed patients and family members people have actually been dying in these cues as they wait to get admitted and then inside this is actually patients families fanning them with whatever is on hand trying to get them comfortable at least the most keep them alive and not just a shortage of oxygen or hospital beds as well in discriminatory and so overwhelmed with the staggering number of people that are dying in the past 2 weeks there have been over 40000 coated related deaths and those are just the official numbers meanwhile in these top corners urged in around remote is governments to consider a lockdown to curb the rising number of cases it's also issued a directive to ensure hospitals are well equipped and wants a new national policy on admissions within 2 weeks but purana has our report now from new delhi. relatives of patients who died when this hospital's oxygen supply ran out overcome with grief. already. my boy

had recovered 75 percent oxygen was available he would have survived but without oxygen last night he died. others vent their anger at hospital staff in the state of karnataka one man said his brother called him at midnight asking for help. because a call at midnight that he's not getting his oxygen supply he got married just 2 months ago now. who look after his family. cannot occur is one of india's richest states but also one of the worst affected few places in the country have been spared by the 2nd wave of the virus the capital new delhi set up its 1st oxygen generation plant after more than 50 patients died when their supply ran out . so in the us where we really are completely dependent on supply chains and cylinders then these problems are bound to rise it is a great idea to overcome that problem you have created an oxygen generation plant

here in simple words it is a kind of oxygen concentrator only with greater capacity. oxygen concentrations continue to arrive along with other international aid trains are being used to transport cryogenic tankers with liquid oxygen to those states hardest hit by the virus the government to the expanded the vaccination program to include everyone above the age of 18 but there are shortages of doses to. people have been waiting in a line outside this center for hours the vaccines arrived late and the process is taking much longer than expected and that's only leading to more frustration for people standing in queues were probably social distancing isn't possible. gladwin reality like hundreds of others waited for more than 3 hours for his jab i feel. this indeed is the main issue because people have been waiting here since morning

they would go in there describe it all but a bit but they have been here like. 9 o'clock and now we are getting you know are going to try to get in in some sides vaccinations were delayed because of a lack of health care workers to administer them to ease the pressure on the health care system in the u.s. supreme court has asked the government to consider imposing a nationwide lockdown but not before making arrangements for india's hundreds of millions of daily wage earners who must work every day to survive elizabeth purana al-jazeera new delhi. pakistan is closing its land borders with iran and afghanistan trying to curb the import of any new mutations of the virus the restrictions come into effect tuesday night and it's also causing international flights as more from up. the government a 2nd factor very show there in the southern port city of karachi scared that day had found the bridge ellen and the south african gradient of the wires and the

or it is rising. according to china's foreign ministry that scene assistance is being provided to 80 countries with exports to more than 40 others but it is eager to get w.h.o. approval for the 2 chinese vaccines it would open the door for overseas travel although with caution as the an occupation efforts around the world vaccine approvals could be laying the groundwork for what could be seen as a global vaccine road map for the shot you get could determine which countries you can travel to the european union is considering a vaccine passport system where only certain approved facts eans qualify which means those inoculated with the chinese may dozes would be barred from entry. into great. market. trade.

courses or that the show oh it or the show of labor and. try or as. for investment. but experts say approval could also pose a dilemma once china formally joins the global supply chain and collaboration is like kovacs to supply poor countries it will need to ramp up production that has to fulfill international commitments and its own domestic targets. so far not even 20 percent of china's 1300000000 people have been vaccinated devika pollen hong kong we'll hear from simon clarke now head of division of biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering at the university of reading he told us the global vaccine shortage is prompting the w.h.o. to make this incision now despite the questions over the efficacy of the chinese

jobs really the world health organization is trying to clear any barriers to use as quickly as it can of course some countries are many times any country is able to authorize the vaccine on its own. are certain there has been a lot of discussion with its use potentially in south america. just because it's perhaps not as effective as of the vaccines doesn't mean it's completely ineffective and if we need a vaccine and we don't have. great access to all of them the ones that we would like then something is better than nothing in south america i think it was chilly there was covered tree from some trying these people but the vaccine wasn't terribly effective. it is difficult to tell because you have to be able to expose the immunized people to who are not really infection challenge we have to see how much the vaccine holds back so it's still early days but the vaccines china.

go look to be as effective as your united states turkey's foreign minister says he hopes to see an end to the presence of foreign mercenaries in libya. leading a high level delegation for talks with the unity government turkey's defense minister and intelligence chief are with him deeply involved in libya and back to the un recognized government of national accord against the war lord. and i train a has moved from tripoli. we heard those women goose she's libya's 1st female foreign minister discuss to reiterate how important tricky relationship with libya is she went on to say that we should. turkey is extremely important to the successfulness of the cease fire that's currently ongoing libya currently has a cease fire. that was able to lead to this political to

a political resolution brought in this interim government so tricky has played a critical role in balancing the power of course signed a maritime security agreement with libya in 2019 months after warlord khalifa haftar launched a military campaign on the capital tripoli i think this is really a really important meeting just it's just the amount of visuals that actually came you had the foreign minister the minister of interior the minister of defense chief of staff of the military head of national security. political or political party members so you know just shows how how investiture he is and libya and how they want to grow their influence in the country and throughout africa and i think this this visit really shows that in colombia the finance minister has resigned following days of angry protests against proposed tax reforms at least 8 protesters

and a police officer been killed since wednesday president even due kate said he would withdraw the proposed changes from. in bogota he says protesters a hoping to capitalize on them and then turn. this is well we understand that people want to continue protesting that now they are going after now there are a number of reforms that the government has proposed or is going to present in the coming days starting the way to health reform they're also asking for more money more more work on part of the government on down the vaccination efforts to cope with vaccination efforts they also say that they want the government to do more when it comes to the killings of social leaders have been playing haitian. peace agreement with 5 gravels that this government has been slow to move forward

so there are a long list of reasons starting with the fact that the government will try to. negotiate the new reforms new tax reform that is necessary it's considered to be necessary to maintain colombia's international debt credit for example or to continue financing social spending in the country so they want to continue pressure on the government to do that and make sure that the government will now negotiate with them what will eventually go. new text of the reform. in the news ahead snow sales no exports and fears of even harder times to come and speaking to people in chad struggling off the years of conflict and hollywood hosts the 1st large scale live concert in the u.s. to raise money for that sings.

it's time for the perfect gentleman. sponsored point qatar airways we are starting to see increasingly wet weather making its way across southern and central parts of china at the moment big area cloud coming through here easing over towards the eastern side of the country ahead of that go high pressure so it's been fluffy into good parts of japan recently that's about to change to make the most of tuesday japan fine in fly warm sunshine some lovely weather coming through here but here comes the problems as we go on through the next couple days some heavy rain coming in across the korean peninsula spinning out of the east china sea through that eastern side of china and some very heavy bursts of right all the way down towards the southwest could cause for the for flooding problems here then as we go through the next day or so and it continues to drift further research getting dragged further east which across southern parts of japan through good parts of

honshu q shoe as we go through wednesday ahead of that those temperatures deliver around 26 degrees celsius will cool off for the 2nd half of the week further south we've got the usual showers there across the southeast asia sunshine and showers some heavier downpours there into northern parts of borneo more than areas of some are also seeing some heavy showers in the show's joining up with a wet weather we have courses in parts of india and some very heavy rain continue. just gonna cut that break short to take you to london the foreign secretary dominic robb of the u.k. on the right on the left secretary of state of the united states and it's great to have you here with this welcome i think it's fair to say that by administration is better 100 days old but has already taken a huge number of bold and very welcome steps on issues like climate change global health and human rights and that's really created an amendment efforts to tackle these pressing global issues since tony's confirmation we've been working very

closely together and today's meeting has been another reminder of the depth and breadth of the work that we do together the convergence of our interests and the many shared values so today tony and i discussed the full range of issues all give you a highlight of i think some of the key points we talked about our shared commitment to stand up for open societies democracy and human rights protecting fundamental freedoms tackling this information and holding human rights abuses to account. we talked a key element of this is defending the rule of law so we're determined to reform but reinforce the multilateral system we want to keep working together very closely on all of these points through the g. 7 and president biden's democracy summit we also discussed china i think it's fair to say we see eye to eye on the need to stand up for our values holding beijing to the commitments that they've made whether it's in relation to hong kong under the

joint declaration or or why did commitments was also the same time finding constructive ways to work with china in a sensible and positive manner where that's possible that's important i think you know on global issues like climate change we want to see china stepping up to the plate and playing its full rope. and tony and i also discussed how a range of security issues iran afghanistan continuing concerns about russia in particular on the border with ukraine we stand shoulder to shoulder on these issues and i welcome the u.s. is firmly commitment to the nato alliance it's only by working together overseas that we can keep our citizens safe at home and i think that's true in nature and i think it's true on covert and the various measures that we've taken to extend and expand and promote kovacs sectors of sector blink and i will see the prime minister tomorrow to continue the discussions we've had one of the major areas of common interest is building a broader and stronger set of partnerships among countries that share our values on

the most important issues of the day so the g. 7 foreign and development ministers meeting which begins today is a great opportunity to really drive that gender forward this is the 1st opportunity for all g 7 foreign ministers to meet together in person since $29.00 to figure out to be able to socialize a bit together in those meetings face to face problems going on zoom in teams i think it's also fair to say that the world changed quite a bit in those 2 short years societies are colonies of being shocked and shaken by coronavirus at the same time responding to a situation where our values are being challenged the international architecture is at least in some respects being weakened. and there is also the rapid technological change which brings new opportunities we've seen that with the collaboration on things like the vaccine but also acute challenges and there are global threats from climate change that frankly demond global solutions and we are committed to trying

to find and for today solutions so in that context we recognize the importance of building dynamic agile new partnerships with like minded countries that share our values and that's why we invited the foreign ministers from india south korea a stray ember 9 when i was so of the representing as iran is the chair and they'll be taking part later on in the week they're all key partners for us i think they're also a sign of the growing focus on the entire pacific region as the economic and strategic crucible for this century. and at the g 7 what at its core it's a partnership based on values and so it's fitting that today we meet own world press freedom day and we've seen a whole range of attacks on journalists from batteries to mammal violations of media freedoms are growing around the world at what i feel is an alarming rate and

i welcome the unequivocal stance of the united states and the whole g 7 on safeguarding those vital democratic bill walks in our media freedoms as co-chair of the global media freedom coalition the u.k. is working with our partners so that we shine a light on the violations we hold those to account we support germinate journalists who are trying to shine a light on these abuses around the world and we try to reverse what is otherwise a dangerous trend. this cuts i think to the core of the values and interests of the director of g 7 represents right around the world and it shows i get i think what's important for us to meet together this week now let me have a tiny tiny again thanks for being here thanks for a valuable discussions today and i look forward and we look forward to welcoming president biden to the u.k. in june and i'm looking forward to a productive g 7 meeting this week thank you very much dominic let me let me actually just start where were dominic left off which is world press freedom day.

which i have to tell you i take very much to heart personally as well as professionally i actually started my career as a journalist from the relatively safe confines of of washington d.c. but as dummy said i think we're seeing every day. the work that journalists are doing around the world in increasingly difficult and challenging conditions. to inform people. to hold governments and leaders of one kind or another accountable nothing is more fundamental to the good functioning of our democracies. and i think we are both resolute. in our support for for a free press and so it's it's fitting that we actually are addressing our colleagues from the press on this day and i have to tell you it's particularly.

good to be in london for the 1st time as secretary of state i realized in thinking about it that the 1st time i came to the united kingdom in london was almost exactly 50 years ago and many many times since but it's specially good to be here today and especially good dominick to have the chance to spend some real real time with you we've we've already met twice i think in person it's a nato we've been on the phone and numerable times but there's nothing quite like being face to face for sometimes mask to mask and i'm particularly pleased that we've had an opportunity that here today in this light stand on for the next the next few days and to your point president biden is very much looking forward to being here for the g. 7 in just a little over a month and i'm also looking for the opportunity to meet with with prime minister johnson tomorrow bring much appreciate that right now right next door. i also do want to take a moment to say in person what i've said in private including to dominic which is

to offer. my own condolences and deep sympathy on the passing of his royal highness prince philip duke of edinburgh. this year is the 80th anniversary of the atlantic charter which set the foundation for the international rules based order that our countries strongly subscribe to and which is as a result of the openness security and economic possibility it's created been a tremendous advantage for not only the citizens of our countries but for people around the world it's also the 75th anniversary of winston churchill's famous speech at westminster college in missouri where he described the special relationship between the united kingdom the united states and how vital it is for our 2 countries and many others around the world 3 quarters of a century later that special relationship is enduring it's affective it's dynamic

and it is close to the hearts of the american people the work we do together serves our peoples interests across a vast array of issues many of which dominic touched on including maintaining our national security rejuvenating our economies on a sustainable and more equitable basis. i think our bilateral relationship is also vital to the world the work that we do together advances progress on the most urgent global issues and global issues that are having a real impact on the lives of our citizens including stopping code 19 addressing the threat of climate change defending democratic values and open societies. is dumb it said we're going to address these topics over the next several days with our counterparts in the g 7 and dot i want to thank you and the united kingdom not just for hosting us but for your leadership in building an incredibly robust agenda that again is centered on issues that have

a real impact on the lives of our fellow citizens will focus on ending the cold in 1000 pandemic worldwide and the united kingdom shares our commitment to ensuring that the world is better prepared to prevent detects and respond to the next pandemic. we also have to lead a global economic recovery that's sustainable and that matches growth with equity so that the people hardest hit by the economic impact of code are helped. and it aligns also with the urgent need to reduce emissions and build a green economy so we can rise to the challenge of climate change to that end here in london we'll discuss how the world's major economies need to raise on climate action and i commend the united kingdom for its new 2035 target which sets an appropriately high bar. will talk about threats to the international rules based order and to democratic values and human rights. together our 2 countries recently

took measures to prevent british and american businesses from inadvertently supporting forced labor in jong and elsewhere and china will continue our robust cooperation to address the atrocities and. a crackdown on pro-democracy activists and politicians in hong kong which breaches china's international commitments and the repression of media freedom across china and other parts of the world i also want to thank the united kingdom for joining us in holding russia to account for its reckless and aggressive actions we have reaffirmed our unwavering support for the independent sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine which i'll be visiting later this week. also work welcome the foreign secretaries recent announcement on the extension of global magnitsky sanctions to combat russian human rights abuses. as dominic said our 2 countries are solely committed to nato and to

maintaining transatlantic unity in defense of our common values and in response to direct threats. one final issue i'll just mention is northern ireland the united states remains a steadfast supporter of a secure and prosperous northern island in which all communities have a voice and can enjoy the gains of the hard won peace like several u.s. presidents before him president biden has been unequivocal in the support for the good friday agreement which was a historic achievement and one that we should protect. there's much more that i can say about all the work that the united states and the united kingdom do every single day in ways quiet and otherwise to serve the interests of our people and i believe the broader international community we're connected it's often said but always important to reaffirm we're connected by ties of friendship family history shared values and shared sacrifice we've

been reminded of that again in recent weeks as we prepare to draw down our forces from afghanistan we've stood shoulder to shoulder for nearly 20 years share your mission and having each other's backs will never forget it the united states has no closer ally no closer partner than the united kingdom and i'm very glad for the chance to say that again here today thank you. so you thanks very much ok we'll take some questions from the major and i think if the tech is working we've got james landau from the b.b.c. up thus james i want you. foreign secretary to bring can get afternoon from 31st of all what is your assessment of reports out of iran yesterday suggesting a deal has been agreed secure the release of nurse needs to go radcliffe and that the tank debt was big page and secondly foreign secretary you are catching british

foreign aid to yemen to syria it's to the united nations children's fund the u.n. population. the u.n. aid water sanitation hygiene polio eradication conflict resolution humanitarian peronist ok so i believe the questions there and just get a quick wrap up with the falcao correspondent in london nave i was going to say you know what the 2 men discussed but it seems to be more about what didn't they discuss that. i think if we try to put this into more of a more general context of the toad the fate fabric of what they were trying to say was that to reaffirm the international rule based order of things in the wake of the trumpet ministration in the face of a more aggressive resurgent russia and china it was but it was the by the administration and the government of boris johnson basically saying that you know let's put the past aside and let's sing from the say.
