ceremony with the usual rituals and attended by all the family friends and neighbors india is getting rid of its covert 1000 victims you know how to eat and in mosques with more than $350000.00 new infections and 3 and a half 1000 dead each day the country is facing aerial challenge india's tally of more than $20000000.00 cases so far makes it the 2nd most infected country after the united states and its fear of the actual figure could be much higher with many cases going on imported. the surge in infections began in february and has been blamed on more contagious variants of the virus as well as government decisions to allow people to gather in large crowds for him to religious festivals and political rallies the head of state elections have been speaking to some senior policymakers in india and many of them still have a mental model that this will all turn around in the next. and i had been trying to

say to them it's everything goes very well things will be horrible for the next several weeks india says it has been vaccinated got least 2000000 people a day but vaccines are hard to come by they're they're shutting the vaccine they're sort of a thing for the. people who are. about to get the thought so there he was confusion though you heard all the program where we've got the vaccine and hundreds of millions of indians don't have the tech. knology to complete the online registration process needed for those aged between 18 and 45 to get their jobs in a country of nearly 1400000000 and with the new violence of cope with 19 emerging the situation continues to nuclear stream lieblich 101 our desire. correspondent elizabeth cohen joining us live here on the news from new delhi is clearly the

numbers are going to get much worse before they even begin to properly plan. that's right peter some scientists have said that the nationwide peak of the 2nd wave is in for another few days having said that the health ministry has said that in the worst affected states in maharashtra even in delhi and in chat this that they are starting to see the numbers plateau but we have to remember that india still not testing enough to know the real number of infections in delhi they are recording fewer numbers but the number of tests have gone down in delhi as well just in the last few days in the last few weeks in fact it's become very difficult to actually get a test in delhi and take days if not longer you know up to a week or 10 days to get the results and even if cases the coming down in some places the health ministry also said that they are going up in at least 10 states

worryingly and states like be hard which is india's poorest which has some of which has the worst health care infrastructure actually which has only one doctor for every 28000 patients where we're hearing reports of patients dying not just because of the lack of hospital beds and oxygen as we're seeing all over the country but because equipment life saving equipment like ventilators a line on used without the doctors who have the expertise to use them now there's also been a lot of questions recently about the international aid that's been arriving of the last few days with local media reporting that 6 states including delhi until monday night hadn't received any of this aid that has forced the government to release exactly what it's doing with the aid document saying what's going where and a lot of that is still in transit thanks very much elizabeth ronan there reporting live from new delhi also in new delhi. middle a senior leader in india's governing b.g.p. the party and john to party mr battle welcome to the news hour if we put together

where we think the statistics are going with what we know the statistics are officially as of right today the death rate is rising exponentially the infection rate is rising exponentially your health care system simply cannot cope what do you do about it i mean be extended off and then we could not have you know. anybody. who would wait because the law mickie of the situation you know has really well everybody given the fact that yes it's a huge population of the challenge because as saturday they actually just concerning you know their own belly everybody recognition but right now the limit of who would and how does it fit in people exactly something which you know all 15 solutions i think he is

a study of if you really are not going to see the i don't believe look at our population which is 1300000 the solution look if you can't ok can i just thought you then for a 2nd if i made 2 points point number one india has not done everyone when it comes to vaccinating your population that is simply an untruth that you are repeating that you think that hang on stop point it's point number 2 point number 2 when it comes to mr modi the prime minister mid to late april he goes on national television he says it is under control he says normality is just around the corner but was never ever going to be the case. trusting you said that. about 1.4. 140000000 evacuations and i don't think there's any concrete because then that kind of actually shook the ground as a percentage of the population as

a percentage of the population so you are not this is my therapy you are not you are simply not at the leading edge of vaccinating a population who are you have not to be understood let me finish the point you have not to be you are not nor are you because you are you are running out a bank seems so little that really got a vaccine because you look to believe this you want to ban the skokie back now a country which any infrastructure has successfully done i didn't fucking will give actually shows and you think that's something that's what accomplishment i mean i am a myth that what kind of mindset meant that you want to. read to me i mean india actually have been applauded for the fact that one of the best in the word has been able to find a solution but also i don't want them to fight over north america so the. lilacs from. these vaccinations lights east this morning

thank you mung this operationally but only not country will match these parameters but that's but we have challenges and we're fairly sure if you see this challenge as you said that the prime minister said if you think it's going to acknowledge it because yes there was a time where we could look if she said. ok yeah creating an unfair military. this is the 1st of but by the time the prime minister let me finish the point by the time the prime minister made that point it wasn't really uncharted territory we will have to agree to disagree on the immediate back story but even given even if you're going to let me finish the point please certain even given even given your stance that even given just about to do that even given your interpretation of the past 3 months why was the green lights given for india's biggest hindu festival in the month of march it lasted for several weeks and it was clearly always going to

become a super spreader event with a mutation of covert which is precisely what happened. this is a of course this will be made what is even particularly good is that this festival was that these are not the start if you look at the figures in. the figures how far this is what can be compared to system allowed or might i start. with you don't google so bluntly. you want to politicize it. which is very wrong as human tragedy let me look from the point of feels like it's happily do what you need it but looking at it from the look at some of the this is i think really difficult there was a congregation which is not a follower competition that's not because there is only one in particular but justice it does it is it because the state already have been in the financial

markets are. you know all there and you know you'll be i'm going to i'm genuinely surprised that you know i'm genuinely surprised that you are accusing me of trying to turn this into a religious debate that is clearly no hang on that is clearly what i was not just there doing do you however accept that mr modi responded late when he finally finally decided to call off the rallies in west bengal you've just accused me doing my job of trying to politicize this that surely is an inverse of what mr newsy was trying to do when he was planning to go ahead with those political rallies can i give you something about the indian constitution if you're an army for a little bit i'd rather that you answer the question i would rather an estimate time that you answer the question. i am i think that pushes back to. the area she held it is a state subject it is not given to the on going into it so the health infrastructure

the something the fix and not by the same person mr modi is not responsible for health care in india that's what you're saying you're saying not because you're saying one thing should stick to him but you're saying it's all down to the individual states not because you're doing it collectively these be the sponsibility is the state but as i said there as as the amendment does the sponsored people collectively are fighting this menace ok then actualise it right it going to mean we're going to do not going to say that my humble get personally best of whatever you want to be sure but it says it would you accept this country as i think it. would you accept if you want to carry on for 10 years would you accept that your only option is a total national lockdown which will be economically disastrous but this is of arguably the be j.p.s. making so you've either got to lock the country down to keep people alive or start

vaccinating millions and millions of people every day and you are no place close to being able to do that. i don't understand how that be given is going your vices are good if the thing is what observations you're making you are under many one shade of what you're talking not one statistical if it is you are just using it the girl will be in with mr. beach if you don't want to be defeat paki what is that to do with it then you make when you make it. something. of the way your be accused of such as occasional arguments and you get your start deliberately trying to. india as a country is fierce the challenge which is enormous because we have the 2nd time this population china is the peter. problem so there are even

a fake but what is this a little distance and that any country in population right there not countries of such significance that there are not going to be libya india has its own economically british and the actual soviet if i think that it can still tough i'd only when they really did stand up i don't constitutional scheme ok and then they can still talk in this country all night you cannot get infrastructure overnight you cannot you cannot solve these problems we have you have limitations of i don't want to succeed because i don't development limit ok yet it's only should be a lot of mystery it's all we have to leave our conversation a little that's i didn't want to say but i do want to say there has been no false of a cation on my part i have not said anything that is all that you have not said here don't hold your in the course of our conversation and we have to go on to other you say what's on show you understand so i have to draw our conversation now to give it to a close because i thank you so much for joining us here on the news hour we do appreciate

your time because we understand you are a busy man thank you very much. an elevated metro line has collapsed in mexico city sending a train crashing down on to cars below it let's just show you some of the latest pictures from the crash site where crews are working to clear what is a tangled mess at least $23.00 people were killed the president says there will be a thorough investigation into what went wrong and who's to blame when walter appollo reports now from mexico city. ok arctic scene in the mexican capital emergency crews responding to an accident involving a metro rail train on an overpass friends and family of possible victims searched frantically for their loved ones. my brother is still under the rubble imagine how many tons they have to move that's what we want to know what's going on there. surveillance footage captured the harrowing moments as the structure supporting the

train cars collapsed above a busy freeway filling the air with dust and debris. but eventing when we arrived at the scene people were crying out for help a vehicle was crushed under the subway car with 2 people inside the driver looked fine but the others were trapped. local residents say this rail line has faced structural problems in the past and had reported their fears of a possible collapse to authorities it's been several hours since the accident and emergency workers are still here trying to clear the scene you can clearly see those 2 train cars hanging precariously over the freeway authorities are asking people to stay back worried that the structure itself could still collapse further . mexico city mayor claudia sheen has promised a thorough investigation into what went wrong. al-jazeera mexico city still to come here on the news for you turns out he is president of

a whole is the government's coded 19 response turning the page on how late. fifty's of hunger strike supporters of a detained type protest leader fear for his health. and branch this is he have the advantage against p.s.g. as they look to the place in the champions league final for the 1st time people have more in the sports news in about 30 in. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is mandate to form a government is set to expire at the end of tuesday netanyahu has been meeting opposition party leaders to secure enough votes to form a coalition if he fails then powell revert to the president riven rivlin will decide what to do next so israel has gone through 4 inconclusive elections in the past 2 years how to force it joins us live from west jerusalem so harry and he sign of any last minute surprises to be think. well certainly

a lot of moving parts on this last day netanyahu one of his party won 30 seats in israeli parliament the knesset making him the leader of the biggest party in the israeli parliament so that is why he was given the 1st opportunity but try as he might he certainly tried over the last few weeks to try to assemble a coalition he can't get the magic number which is 61 a majority in the 120 c. class at so if that maintains all the way through until midnight tonight local time then as you say riven or even the president will have to decide who to give it to next whether that would be the opposition leader. who leads a party was 17 seats the 2nd biggest party in the knesset or potentially to another right wing leader natale bennett who only has 7 seats for his party but for whom there is some right wing support reports even that netanyahu may well try to recommend him to the president and his party to be given the mandate next the other

option is for the president simply to give it to the parliament itself for anybody to come forward potentially with a viable coalition and behind that there are all sorts of last minute plays going on the right wing parties are trying to use the last of the control of the knesset to try to advance fast track right wing legislation that would if it went through do all sorts of things such as the just a miser outposts in the occupied west bank israel israeli illegal outposts outside even of the settlement project death penalty for terrorism various other things which could potentially help netanyahu fight off his corruption trial that is seen as something of a play to try to embarrass bennett who leads this smaller right wing party against the possibility of him joining the largely centrist and left wing change bloc that's something that netanyahu is very worried about he's even on. offered

apparently but at the chance to go 1st in a rotational deal with netanyahu even though they don't really have the numbers so far to sustain that so there are all sorts of last minute plays being made so far no indication everything is working her you must leave it there many thanks very for that they're reporting live from west jerusalem joining us from tel aviv is down in a public opinion and political analyst dahlia shanley does mr netanyahu have an endgame here does he actually want election number 5. well in the last 2 years every israeli analyst and every israeli citizen has become a psychologist or mr news and yahoo trying to figure out exactly what he wants i think the only thing we all agree on is that and yahoo would like to continue being prime minister but the sites of the horizons that he has for continuing are getting shorter and shorter and therefore what we see now is that of course his 1st choice was to establish and lead the new government failing that he tried to get an opportunity for to offer for somebody else to lead the government for

a limited period of time in a prime minister edition none of that seems to have worked out and it seems that at this point his next best option would be either to go for a 5th election somehow mastermind the situation that there would be if this election which leaves him in power in the interim for the entire phase of the election campaign 3 months and then all the time during which a government has to be built the other thing that he is trying at the very last minute to push through which you know looks like it has very few chances is advancing legislation to change israel's basic law of government and and bring back direct elections for prime minister which is something that was tried for a brief phase in the late ninety's in the mid ninety's through the early 2000 he hopes that doing that centrally would by time would mean the country would go into direct elections that takes that would take 30 days for campaign whoever wins and you know boobs that would be him might have 90 days to establish a government if that person isn't successful another 90 days for legislative

elections it seems like all he really wants now is to keep himself in power for even short term periods of time surely the israeli voters are sick and tired of this because if mr netanyahu gets an election there would be a positive response to that because people were thinking a we can get rid of him but then the last form of protest against him might be don't vote so if you don't vote in an election that you maybe want to vote in to get rid of a prime minister you actually end up then giving a win to the opposition not to the guy that you want rid of. exactly it's a very strange situation one might even call it a catch 22 in the sense that israeli voters have gone to the polls 4 times israeli voters are very divided there is no one frame of mind in which israeli voters would like to get rid of him and yet we're a small slim 2 slim majority of the israeli voters have voted against him the

people who have voted in favor of netanyahu come out to about 4849 percent of the votes which is why there is a stalemate and if there were another election there's very little reason to think that would change unless the party system changes significantly and it's true one would expect voters to eventually just stop showing up in a form of protest from either side because all of the wishes of the voters have been ignored in the sense that nobody has managed to reach a government so you could expect a plunge in turnout a protest of non-voting but then both sides would be leaving the field open to the other side and even if we were going to an absolutely absurd situation of a 5th election i imagine the majority of voters would still come out in high numbers. to avoid the possibility that the other camp whichever side you're on would win but that means we are in still a very unclear cycle and process of trying to form a government with no end we haven't had a government in israel a permanent government for over 2 years now and the country is suffering as

a result that's the only thing the citizens agree on we must leave it there tanisha and many thanks for joining us from tel aviv good to talk to thank you for having. it's been 6 months since the conflict started in ethiopia is to agree region refugees continue to flee you bringing with them allegations of atrocities the violence broke out last november when the national army and the to green people's liberation front the. to dominate ethiopia's politics and military for nearly 30 years until the prime minister took power 3 years ago the earth says its leaders were unfairly targeted his government says that provoked the conflict by attacking army bases in tikrit to opposition parties say 50000 people have died in the fighting nearly 62000 to fled to neighboring sudan in january the un reported a high number of rapes in 2 grey soldiers are accused of sexually assaulting internally displaced people in exchange for basic commodities such as food which is

now in scarce supply it morgan is in in sudan just across the border here but what kind of situation are those people leaving behind them. peter al jazeera has been covering the plight of the refugees fleeing from the take rate . of the culprits in november and there has been no shortage of care when stories we've heard from parents who say that they were forced to leave their children behind as they fled for safety forcing forced the cross the border from ethiopia into sudan we've also heard from an accompanied by those children as young as 3 and 4 years old saying that they don't know where their parents are and are looking for them afraid that they may have lost them either in the refugee camps or left them behind and they've been killed in the conflict we've also heard from women who reported sexual violence the stories that stand out from some people who say they witnessed a retreat in troops committing atrocities people have said that returned troops

government and the monarchy are facing similar charges scott the reports now from bangkok. for the 10th time a request for bail was submitted at bangkok's criminal court and for a 10th time pro reform protesters gather. there to support prod it known as penguin and the movement calling for reform in the government and monarchy . she has been detained since february and faces multiple charges of defaming the monarchy or less majesté each count carries a 15 year prison sentence one of those in the crowd is chief mother. i want to ask the president of the supreme court to direct this in rural or anybody who has power to police i'm saying xplained a real reason to dismiss why my son doesn't get bail. the 22 year old has been on hunger strike for 50 days his personal protest against the court rejecting i spoke to a defiant in january just

a few weeks before he was arrested he was not concerned about less majesty also known as article 1121 you know i think. lesmond just a is something that is written on a piece of toilet paper nobody stuff is disloyal no matter how hard they're trying to enforce this law it won't have suppressed criticism of the monarchy. the human rights group amnesty international believes the strict law has been weaponized by the authorities nearly 80 people have been recently charged including 6 children. the reason that they do not get them get the cold war and it was a tough game was always seen as one of the political tools to put. one of the latest complaints filed against she followed this protest in front of a pharmaceutical firm owned by the king she was accusing the royal family of using its influence for the selection and manufacture of covert 1000 vaccines there's

a section of society here that strongly supports the monarchy and they see this movement calling for reform within the monarchy as an attack on the foundation of thai culture to know that. even though there have been many role families without a monarchy tolland would no longer be thailand and be a different country and i believe that the law isn't used to bully people who think differently it's based on facts. they're also health concerns for another protest leader. known as wrong she's been on hunger strike for more than a month after being denied bail 5 times. and what appears to be an attempt to keep protesters off the streets authorities continue to deny bail for the program former leadership i'm not but the move is having the opposite effect giving protesters a reason to gather. schuyler al-jazeera bangkok despite the pandemic if you want to travel anytime soon listen to this conversation

a lopsided picture is emerging for post pandemic tourism with countries varying greatly on what they are prepared to allow even as vaccination programs are being rolled out the e.u. the european union for example is considering reopening its borders to travelers but only those who've had e.u. approved vaccines kuwait's government will soon stop unvaccinated citizens from going overseas the latest attempt to reduce infections their domestic travel is rebounding in the u.s. but bans are still in place for anyone looking to fly in from europe the u.k. south africa and india among others china too is seeing a boom in domestic tourism foreign holidays are almost out of the question due to limits on flights overseas out of china and quarantine requirements joining us now from london simon calder travel editor of the independent newspaper simon great to talk to you again why is it presidents and prime ministers and i guess foreign secretaries around the world they're playing a kind of

a chase me chase me game because everyone is waiting for a date in their country when they can go to the airport get on a plane and fly safely to go on holiday. that they are and there's also probably an equal and opposite number of people who are waiting desperately for tourism to resume in their part of the world because their livelihood depends upon it and you have this extraordinary picture that you are actually very graphically painted just now of an immense number of travel restrictions that are in place around the world and the fact that every country is trying desperately to balance a public health than the risk to its own population with the economic need to get travel and tourism back on track and of course the great economic stimulus that that will have for the why don't world and at the moment it's pretty much every country for itself although interestingly the europeans at least in brussels are

meeting to try to get to some kind of coherent strategy but even then it's only advisory and may well be that once the main summer season begins in july in the northern hemisphere that it will be every country for itself and they will do whatever they think is necessary to try to preserve their travel industry at the same time as looking after the health of their people how long do you think simon do we have to put up with those watch this space kind of trickle down that we're getting from governments all around the world because it seems to me that doesn't matter whether it's improving in the country that you were born bred or you live in the important crucial thing is here is what the situation is like in the country you want to go to. oh sure and i mean a really good it example is here in the u.k. where we're expecting to hear on friday the limited number of countries i reckon probably around 30 that the british government will allow us to travel to

without needing to quarantine self isolate on return and so far that leaves looks pretty thin it would include gibraltar a british overseas territory at the far south of spain iceland in the north atlantic lovely country not exactly a kind of sun soaked paradise the island of malta maybe talk should go and israel where the vaccine rollout has been particularly strong looking further afield it may include some caribbean and indian ocean islands but they are well beyond the budgets of many travelers here and it will also include places such as australia or new zealand which show doing fantastically well but there's no point putting them on our so-called green list because they won't let us in anyway and certainly if you look on the other side of the world at australia or new zealand i mean they just laid over to socal travel bubble between the 2 countries effectively if you're

in australia go anywhere you want as long as it's new zealand and vice versa what are your thoughts simon on this emerging picture that we're seeing i guess if we're to call it like up a vaccination a party almost so if you're in a poor country and you want to travel and you can get vaccinated you can travel but if you're in a poor country say that's relying on the incoming kovacs vaccine soon you're not going to get vaccinated any time soon so forget it travel is a nonstarter so if you're a migrant worker from an african country you're unemployed and you can't travel but if you're vaccinated if you're in a country where the vaccination campaign has gone very well some of the european countries where you are as well in the u.k. of course you can travel at will to a country on the list that you've just mentioned. sure it is it just gives you one excellent picture of just one part of this humanitarian issue and the

only kind of word of encouragement i can give is that actually i think this this vaccine dependent travel which a lot of countries are coming up with now iceland for example oh just speaking to us as travel operator there he says yes they're they're letting anybody in as long as you have had both jabs and have a certificate to prove it but i think it's going to be entirely transients and i think countries where they have had a very successful rollout of the vaccine so that would include parts of the middle east it would certainly include i think in the united states they will be seen as a good bet anyway so they will get a kind of vaccine dividend as a result of the way that the vaccination scheme has impacted the coronavirus rates so when be so much about. show is your certificate it's more show

is your passport and you know if we like the country that you come from we will look more kindly on you but of course yes absolutely as you say for migrant wait what workers it is the worst of all possible times simon always great to get your your ability to break this complex story down for us here on the news i got to talk to as i was on a cold there in the u k. brazil's facing a new challenge in his battle against curve it 19 is appears many who have had the 1st dose of the vaccine haven't shown up for the 2nd one or those who did soon found out there were none available monica yant to kiev has more now from rio de janeiro. we syrians had to wait much longer than expected to get their vaccines the mass inoculation campaign in latin america's largest country got off to a late and rocky start in mid january so far only 15 percent of the population has received the 1st dose according to media consortium at 6 percent of those lucky

ones never showed up for the 2nd shot oh we'll give it to be believed to be me i almost didn't i had to take an inside the pill to make it here for my 2nd shot of astra zeneca i was so scared as were many standing in line with me we were hearing all these stories about blood clots and now i'm glad i came. doctors say that some people have not gone back because they forgot or simply thought that one shot was enough. it's a shift of being either lack of information into fake news spread by thoughts who deny the pandemic are part of the problem but we are also facing problems with the 2nd dose because of poor government planning. 16 states have run out of china's corona vaccine one of the 2 most used in brazil many showed up for their 2nd dose only to be told there were none that would have occurred or should have been ok

they told me to return another day but will there be any war like it's an embarrassment this is a joke for those bloody politicians. doctors and scientists blame former health minister and one of the buzz will for the problem. is here is your program of the health ministry instructed mayors and governors to use all their supplies to speed up the dilip. first goes instead of telling them to say of hop of the stock to go into the 2nd dose the government was hoping more effects things would arrive in time that did not but there have been delays in the delivery of vaccines and of supplies to produce them oakley india one of brazil's main suppliers is at the center of the epidemic now in dealing with the health catastrophe but brazil has just received the 1st batch of 1000000 fires or vaccine doses the lack of planning will be discussed this week by the senate committee investigating the government's

handling of the pandemic former health minister busway abel will be called to testify on wednesday. he will be asked to explain why brazil took so long to accept pfizer's offer to begin providing millions of doses last year doses that only just started to arrive monica and i give al-jazeera rio de janeiro time for the weather is jeff. hello there that show you where the heaviest rain is falling right now in china it's towards southern areas of the country concerning a bit is while because this is following the bulk of the moisture falling over the pearl river and this is like a firehose of moisture that we're dealing with across taiwan pushing into japan so some soggy weather on tap there on wednesday for osaka for honshu tokyo 24 degrees but it's a quick moving system so by thursday the bulk of that moisture out toward the pacific northwest ok we've got some heavier spells of rain drenching rain for

sumatra getting into some breaks now for central and southern parts of indochina but still seeing some heavier concentrations particularly for northern laos on wednesday where you could see some downpours of rain off to india then and once again the area of concern really west bengal into bangladesh where we could see some severe thunderstorms spark up here on wednesday in the middle east we've got this cloud here and we got just the right way into what pop and look what it did this severe storm in moscow it's on monday and as we head toward wednesday there is the risk of seeing some weather like that as we head toward the border with the united arab emirates. other news the french parliament is expected to approve a climate change bill on tuesday president emanuel macro is trying to slash greenhouse gas emissions ahead of a deadline in 2030 but. reports environmental groups say it does not go far enough. the high speed train from paris to the western french city of non takes 2

and a haul for hours people can all say flowing between the 2 cities but that is set to change under french president emanuel macro's new climate will some short internal flights will be banned to help lower carbon emissions so this is one of 5 into city journeys in france which will now only be possible by road or train. the climate little aims. to reduce carbon emissions in france by 40 percent by 2030 with measures targeting industry food and housing it will also encourage grassroots projects like this wind farm located an hour from now and it's financed and code by nearly $400.00 local residents and a renewable energy company and the traditional will change everything but at least we consider it as a good 1st step towards a model where we have more and more. we want to take on the energy transition and invest in that kind of things micron has made tackling climate change

a presidential priority some scientists say that parts of coastal france could be submerged by rising water levels by the end of the century throughout his presidency emanuel might call has projected an image of himself as a nida in the fight against climate change for his supporters the new no is proof of his ambition but others say that it fails to respond to the climate emergency reputation for innovative environmental policy the deputy mayor says mike ross knows disappointing because it doesn't do enough to cut carbon emissions the urgency to repeat here we have 10 years to really radically change things and now we're just continuing to take little steps forward that in fact will move us backwards will you more called was part of a citizen's council set up by microsoft to come up with proposals for the climate law he says the government ignored many of the council suggestions because of

pressure from industrial lobby groups we should not lose hope about climate action but definitely what happened here is the missed opportunity to do something big green parties are on the rise in france and climate change is expected to be a key issue in next year's presidential election the sense among many environmental campaigners though is the macro is missed a chance to. with their support and al-jazeera. coming up next all the international sports news including the indian premier league finally succumbs to the pressure a developing story josie marino is no longer out of a job we will tell you which club the portuguese manager is going to next.

time for sports news is peter peter thank you very much the indian premier league cricketer it has been suspended indefinitely after an increase in positive coronavirus cases at 4 of the 8 teams in the last few days the chennai super kings had already gone into a week of isolation and to them it all going to is hoped that by moving all remaining matches to mumbai they could salvage this year's event on tuesday the daily capitals and sunrisers hyderabad joined chennai and the kolkata knight riders as teams with covered $1000.00 cases and now the tournament has been brought to a halt earlier we spoke to cricket commentator so haile chandhok he says the organizers of the i.p.l. might find it hard to secure a window in which to complete this year's tournament. i think it's either september

or perhaps then at the end of the so i don't think it's going to be quick enough to be able to survive this pandemic and the way that case rising and put together the rest of the story and as well so it is a tough task but i think it was the right call to be taken now and i think there is a sense of i'm sure to be at this point but i think that's going to be the 1st and the biggest task over the next week is how to get players back safely both as a shock to australia and new zealand borders are still open borders have sort of a couple of different routes that are possible u.a.e. has been shot as well which is a huge port for a lot of indians to travel through let's remember that this extravaganza that is the i.p.l. is about a 300000000 pound event for the. massive monetary implications massive for the b.c. massive for the broadcasters massive for everyone involved as well as especially also the employment opportunities that come with it so it's a huge blow to a massive industry and to a huge part of what india considers the big picture in the annual calendar of

events i don't think it's a question of whether it should have happened in india all that you eat it's a question of whether it should have happened at all because if you had all these players playing in the u.a.e. it back the same question are we insensitive of me as not even understanding what's going on in the country and i think a lot of these questions still would have been raised but i think the bigger question that was how the t 20 world cup is going to feature at the end of this year's well because that is going to be a mega event and now there's already a contingency plan for the u.a.e. later this year so i think the next few months are going to sort of shape the way that the b.c.c. i 5 and all the other cricket board started think about whether teams want to travel for the t 20 world cup later this year too. it hasn't taken long for jersey marina to land on his feet of being sacked by tottenham 2 weeks ago the portuguese manager has been snapped up by roma on a 3 year contract starting next season the news comes on the same day the italian club announced their current coach paolo fonseca would leave the role at the end of

a calf strain but the french superstar will be given every opportunity to line up. to be aggressive and most importantly clinical when goal scoring chances arrive. that this is the challenge and of course is what we want is what the players have in the mine an all together and trying to. for only the 3rd time in n.b.a. history a player has recorded at least 20 rebounds and 20 assists in a single game incredibly russell westbrook has now that twice washington point guard had 21 boards and 24 assists as the wizards of business against the indiana pacers westbrook also added 14 points to record his 178th triple double of his career now just 3 short of the all time record held by the malaysian 3 robinson. meanwhile in the n.h.l. the boston bruins have secured a spot in the playoffs following
