knowing what's in the headlines and understanding how they got there. and this is to take pod cast where we bring you the context and the characters behind the stories that matter subscribe and start listening today. this is al jazeera. television. live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes india calls in the army to help boost oxygen supplies as coronavirus death soared to record levels. an independent facebook committee is expected to announce shortly whether donald trump's accounts will remain suspended. so many more mouths to feed

a warning the virus conflict and climate change are all contributing to a growing world hunger crisis. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu misses a deadline to form a government giving his opponents a chance to end his political dominance. and i'm. indian premier league organizers frantically try to repatriate players and officials after the tournament was suspended indefinitely. so then india's coronavirus crisis is now affecting the 1st face to face meeting in 2 years of foreign ministers from the world's wealthiest industrialized nations 2 of india's diplomats have tested positive so this delegation is taking part in the g. 7 summit in london from their hotel rooms this is happening as pressure mounts on prime minister narendra modi to impose a national lockdown quarter of all cope with 19 deaths in the world last week were

in india as were almost half the cases all right we'll get an update from elizabeth bryan i'm in new delhi shortly but 1st let's go to new sparky who's standing by for us outside the g 7 venue in london and supposedly this was a return to person to person diplomacy hasn't worked out that way for the indian delegation. no quite this is being hailed as a real return to face to face diplomacy off to a 2 year hiatus will be its meetings have taken place with delegates wearing moscow where they've been sitting around trying tables they've been separated by purse banks screens on top of that according to the organizers there's been a lot of tight coronavirus protocols introduced to make sure that incidents like this don't happen including the daily testing of all delicate security and journalists who have been working inside lancaster county behind may nevertheless 2

indian diplomats it's been confirmed have tested positive for corona virus we don't know what variant all strain of the virus it is but it doesn't mean that the entire indian mission here for the g. 7 nice to sit it out and continue participating remotely as you mentioned in the hotel rooms over a video link up including foreign minister josh and we know that he mates with the u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken on monday questions are whether some work is being done behind the scenes now to establish whether other people may be at risk and may we may well here in a matter of hours whether some other top level democrats decide that they may need to sit out as well of their stars of course. mean that britain may need to rethink its coronavirus protocol surrounding these events when it goes forward to the finance ministers g 7 meeting at the start of gene and the full leaders' summit in mid june in cornwall when many many diplomats from all over the world will be

descending on that part of the u.k. already thanks very much lots of questions being asked about that situation all this stems of calls from the dire situation in india let's go to elizabeth cohen amused in new delhi. cools growing for a national look down the growing stronger. absolutely nick the latest is from the government's own co the 19 task force the head of the task force has said that they are an active discussions about the need for a nationwide lockdown it sounded like they very much support that they were talking about how states have the right to do so they have been doing so but that it looks like a nationwide lockdown might be the only thing to suppress the current surge but that ultimately that will be a political decision that has to be taken by prime minister that in their warty and has been j.p. government the scientific adviser to the government also said that this health

ministry briefing that a 3rd wave in india is inevitable given the number of cases that we are seeing in the country right now before that it was the all india national congress that's the main opposition party in the country bay was saying that the national national lockdown is the only way forward now and that the government is responsible for the deaths of innocent people the supreme court on monday asked the government to consider a nationwide lockdown but not before making arrangements for india's hundreds of millions of daily wage earners who have to work every single day to survive and for whom the national lockdown last year was a complete disaster ultimately of goods orders to get as many people as possible vaccinated so how was the national guard's mission term. well it's not going well it all especially considering that india is the world's largest vaccine manufacturer and makes 60 percent of all the vaccines in the world

and it is facing a huge vaccine shortage so much so that the number of daily vaccinations have come down in the past week have gone from 2600000 a week ago every day to less than 1900000 a day now and that happened even as the government expanded who's eligible for vaccines everyone above the age of 18 was eligible for on the 1st of may but states have shortages and states have been told to make their own arrangements with vets of manufacturers who are telling them that they don't have enough doses and so international aid as well as vaccines are coming to india the u.s. is sending the vomiting ariel's needed to manufacture vaccines but president biden has said that the u.s. the world trade organization still haven't made a decision on removing the peyton's the intellectual property rights on vaccines which india has been asking the world trade organization to do so that countries like india like south africa can manufacture vaccines at a much cheaper cost is that so that elizabeth thrown in new delhi well

the situation unfolding in india demonstrates why the boost a jobs could be essential to new variants of the growth of birth u.k. government has confirmed it is assessing the possible need for a 3rd vaccine for the elderly vulnerable initially to be given later this year so let's take this on with lawrence young who is of religious to work medical school joins us now from the u.k. lauren so the just tell us more about this the idea i guess is for the same vaccine to be administered a 3rd time sir. well this is being looked into we know from existing data and data is being developed that is all the time the thing with the similar vaccine will give you that that that that extra immune response that you need because what happens with this immunity is that immunity wanes are over a period of time we're worried about the most vulnerable so the idea is to boost

the immune response either with existing vaccines or indeed with vaccines that have been tweaked to give a more effective response against variants so that work is going on all the time is efforts to improve the vaccine if you like yet i understand at the moment is that all the main vaccine manufacturers are in the process of modifying their vaccines so that they get better coverage of the variance given the concern that some of these variants may be resistant to the effects particularly the disease protecting the effects of current vaccine so that tweaking is going on all the time it's not technically that difficult actually and it may be that that's what's offered in terms of the boosted jobs in the u.k. later in the year as it stands what do we know about the resistance of the vaccines that have been administered so far to the new variants that it was that we know about so far. so so far this has been studied in

laboratory studies and also with a couple of vaccine rollouts for particular vaccines like the nova vets vaccine in south africa and what we know so far is actually these vaccines are very good at protecting from serious disease caused by the variance but you still get infected and you still get some symptoms so it doesn't give total protection and we and because these variants are emerging all the while it's important we just keep a handle on this and get and get. better coverage of variance in terms of immunity as possible so it looks like current vaccines will work but just to be on the safe side is pretty straightforward just tweaking the vaccines to be extra confident that not only can you protect against severe disease but also other symptoms right there is a bit of a moral question here isn't there here we are talking about boost to jobs for people who've already had it when the good part of the world is not any

you know and that's the really big concern and the issue is you know how can we roll out vaccines and perhaps these modified vaccines will be more effective in countries like india brazil south south south africa and of course there is a massive issue i think we always knew that with the complexity of these particular vaccines they're hard to hell to make and also with the sheer scale of what we need to do worldwide we were always going to have problems with the manufacture of vaccines and it's in all our interests as we keep saying to make sure everybody is vaccinated and we have a a moral and ethical responsibility to do to do that so yeah there is a there's a real issue here down the line is this going to be the normal especially to put it that way you know having having a regular boost to jabber rear be a bit like the flu vaccine every year. yeah i think i think we know that you know the mean body immune system has

a memory to this but you need to give it a jumpstart every so often and it's likely that for the next few years. they will need to do this with code with any it may well then settle into the seasonal pattern of colds and flu that for most people are not a problem and they won't need to be vaccinated and even this year obviously the concern is always going to be those people over 50 in the most vulnerable in terms of protection but i suspect this is something we're going to have to live with for the foreseeable future all right lawrence young there for all ages to medical school appreciate that thank you australia's prime minister is resisting pressure to lift a temporary ban on flights from india saying it will continue for at least another 10 days scott morrison says a stray has already begun delivering humanitarian aid to india but he wasn't concerned about the travel ban damaging relations between the 2 countries to die the humanitarian support the very significant humanitarian support for india has

a bot. there is a but now let's just take everyone back to what happened january 7th facebook instagram suspended the president donald trump's accounts saying that he was inciting violence this was after the insurrection at the capitol when his supporters stormed the building so facebook has been under pressure from conservative groups from liberals who really from all sides what they did is they have created a what they call their supreme court it's 20 diplomats lawyers academics they basically form a court to decide who can be blocked what can be blocked and they have now come back with this decision saying that the truth facebook and instagram can continue to shut down donald trump's accounts but the caviar that you mentioned is facebook has to review it within 6 months it cannot be a permanent suspension is their ruling so this will have huge implications not just for the president but for the future of big tech for the president he needs these

platforms to reach as tens of millions of supporters because he's trying to raise money he's staying relevant within the republican party and this is how he communicates to his billions of supporters it's also how he raises money which of course is something that he needs to do going into the next elections if you will if he's going to continue his influence the bigger question is for big tech congress on both sides of the aisle have been really eyeing big tax saying that it's possibly time to break them up that they're too big that they're monopoly so we're going to this decision as you mentioned just broke were undoubtedly going to get a lot of commentary from both sides on this the decisions made but the issue is far from over. in washington d.c. for you susan. that more and more people are facing acute food insecurity new u.n. report says at least 150000000 people in 55 countries are at risk of hunger war and conflict the main contributing factors but economic shocks exacerbated by the

pandemic and climate change are also major causes yemen south sudan and parts of bikini and northern nigeria as said to be at or approaching catastrophic levels of food insecurity mohammed atta has this report. and it is a survivor of the war that's rabid south sudan for years displaced many times during the conflict she now lives with her husband and 4 members of their extended family in an informal settlement in b. board tom in the volatile jungle a region they receive some food from charities and supplement that with vegetables from a small garden they tend to their makeshift shelter and that they're going. to lie a lot on my enemies always attacking us we have really suffered a lot we're always on the run they kidnap our people mostly women and children now our area is empty you know we lost our food during the floods now we face hunger i hope this will stop somewhere able to go back to normal life under the gun.

but hunger is a global problem and it's growing every year a new report on food security provides good inbreeding 150000000 people in 55 countries are in crisis say the office the un's world food program and the food and a cut. that's an increase of what on 20000000 people from 201-913-3000 people in brooklyn a fossil south sudan and yemen also facing a catastrophe and need a giant action to prevent widespread death and total collapse of livelihoods. thousands of people also dying of hunger in yemen south sudan the north and nigeria the countries highlighted by the report as the was affected to a vote farm and to meet a giant food needs the world food program says $5500000000.00 will be required this year. covered 1000 has also shown the ever widening gap between the rich and the

poor and how the most economically vulnerable households will be the hardest hit in the food chain. and somebody who has undergone we are going to praise the war in the country the hunger in the country the food crisis is getting worse we pray to god to bring these to an end. and then we have climate change in sub-saharan africa where most of the world's food insecure leave the situation is only getting worse punishing countries that did little to cause the problem. here they don't speculate about the crisis they're suffering because of it once proud farmers and hard as have now been reduced to depending on foreign aid how about the well jazeera or literature is the cedar major sea and rehabilitation officer at the food and agricultural organization of the united nations and he described the many

obstacles that prevent food aid reaching the most vulnerable of communities. then i century 33 records and we what we call it the toxic mix between the 31 is concrete the other one is there are economic down some of these fantasies and these here because of the number of people affected by economic downturn at such stature in crete and then the 3rd one at all that the current drought and so on so i think that is what a very great problem comp is the most important one because in a computation outpaces impossible to accept the population so that that is what really concerned you might make their actors impossibly to reach the most affected population because of corporate there is no peace without without without a few security enough with equal peace all the issues of conflict is fundamental and and the and desist we address it so it might beyond the capacity let's say of

than 2 years ago war and conflict the main drivers of hunger economic shocks exacerbated by the pandemic and climate change are also major cultures. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has run out of time to form a new government putting his political future in question netanyahu has been meeting opposition party leaders in an attempt to secure enough votes to form a coalition the president rivlin will now decide what to do next israel has gone through 4 inconclusive elections in the past 2 years hard for such as more from westerners. so what has happened is again he ran out of time to be the person in charge of trying to put a coalition government together at least in public and now it's up to the president riven rivlin to decide who next gets the 4 week opportunity to do so he has 3 options you can either give it to the leader of the opposition party you are lucky to is has the next most number of seats in the israeli parliament the knesset he

can give it to the right wing leader naftali bennett who's been offered 1st go at prime minister by both. paid and by netanyahu if he joins them in coalition or he could just hand it back to the israeli parliament the knesset and give them 3 weeks to try and come up with something or else there would be an automatic 5th election triggered so far even has met both of these 2 contenders. and bennett it's likely that he will give it to paid but there is a huge amount of pressure that death and you know who is piling on his fellow right wing and after he bennett not to join lapidus part of the so-called change bloc saying that if he comes on board with netanyahu then there is no question that he can get a couple of extra members of the knesset to come across defect from their parties as well and give them the 61 seats required for a majority right wing coalition government so essentially he's saying either do this or we publicly blame you as a right winger for failing to get

a right wing government together but it's really forces of attack demonstrators in occupied east jerusalem and stopped other protesters from entering the area they were seen forcibly detaining people in the occupied shaikh jarret neighborhood and throwing protesters to the ground his anger of record ruling forcing several palestinian families to leave the neighborhood despite them having lived there for decades the stuff above is the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative and he says that israel is committing a crime against humanity. what's happening now in jerusalem is very dangerous because actually this is a process of the cleansing the israeli army and israeli government is conducting in there and you know if she had said but once one of the parts of. this is. practically a. crime is the population of them and this act of ethnic cleansing does not think of an inflexion racist policy. that israelis follow

and the system must consolidated mark on the most of them. honest and not into this incident now only a way for us to confront this is popular nonviolent resistance which is happening now in the cellar in chairs iraq in particular but when nobody looks a little this number. actually. distance is going by and with the 1st round of months of the international level. including included transmitting the. national. national criminal court because what we believe is that it is a process of going in and i'll act here and the world community must intervene and pressure israel to stop the process of ethnic cleansing this is not a new think this part fastest in my pickup which the governments have been

following. the panics in jerusalem trying 3 to eliminate the palestinian presence in the. syrian state media say the country's air defenses of intercepted an israeli attack on several north western areas including the coastal city of latakia a number of explosions were heard along the mediterranean coast israel has recently hit targets inside syria where iranian backed fighters are based. the former u.s. police officer convicted of killing george floyd wants a new trial citing multiple grounds including jury misconduct last month terry shaven was found guilty of 2nd and 3rd degree murder as well as manslaughter the police officer was phil kneeling on george ford's neck for more than 9 minutes during an arrest last may in minneapolis his death led to huge protests around the world mike hanna is in washington d.c. and has the latest developments. this motion was not at all an expected in fact it had been predicted that there would be an attempt by the defense to declare

a mistrial in this particular case and the 4 page protest from the defense team basically hones in on 3 important issues one it criticizes the judge for failing to change the venue of the trial saying that it led to a tainted jury pool secondly it complains about the public around the case and thirdly in the main points that the defense makes the judge fail to sequester the jury for the entirety of the trial making them open to public comment or public issues on the better that they were adjudicating on so those are the main points that are brought up in the. proclamation made to the district court of minneapolis the defense also contends that there was jury misconduct in that the jury felt intimidated says the complaint it also maintains that the jury did not

fully consider the instructions given to it by the judge in terms of defining between the 3 various charges that were laid against eric show been but at the same time the complaint alleges that the judge himself did not correctly brief the jury in terms of the procedures and in terms of the specific charges that were brought before the court so it is a multiple series of complaints which has now been submitted to the minneapolis district court it's now up to the court to decide where to go from here mary moriarty is a former county chief public defender in minneapolis currently teaches at the university of minnesota law school she has more what they feel me. almost all of the grounds have already been raised throughout the trial some multiple times and so there really isn't a lot new there one thing that is new is they are alleging juror misconduct and that is very vague in fact the defense asked the judge for more time to develop

the points that they've made here because some of them are so vague they're hard to know what their the civically referring to but one of the reasons are bringing up her misconduct is because one of the jurors has been giving interviews publicly and had talked about going he actually hadn't talked about but did participate in a march in washington d.c. in august and when he was asked on the questionnaire whether he had participated specifically in any protests over police brutality he said no so that may be one of the grounds although i don't think that has any merit either but this is a standard motion that defense lawyers would typically make after a conviction at trial voters in madrid have returned the right wing government to power in regional elections conservative party leader is both e.f.l. ussa defied pressure from the national government to impose cave it looked down some polls open the votes or recall turnout despite the pandemic attrition through

. rewarded for her defiance isabel diaz salusa leader of the right wing popular party has won madrid's regional elections the p.p. has been in charge of spain's wealthiest region for 26 years i am i never got to today's a beginning of a new chapter in the history of spain because today from madrid from the starting point it will regain our pride s.n.p. mend it and in our you so defy the left wing national government a prime minister pedro sanchez consistently resisted pressure to impose coppa 19 lock downs and i'll tell you why not that she has been brave when we had to face the pin them me she didn't hide like others did she made a stand she defended those who were unsafe but also the people that had to go to work and earn money in the end we have to go on living in the something that i did before that i mean i think we need to enjoy life not close ourselves in our homes like the socialist want us to so the popular party need to win and long lvalue so

here you are you still. think that she campaigned on a simple slogan freedom which appealed to those with coded pretty simple messages sent to the very well be electric. the what the popular party. which is to say very much anybody from the center right it wasn't just the right way or just not all that's a sector of the electorate. after of resoundingly defeat the leader of the left wing pajamas party public place yes says he's quitting politics altogether he resigned as deputy prime minister to stand in the madrid election. the capital has some of the loose history strictures in europe bars and restaurants have remained open despite infection rates far above the national average madrid has the highest percentage of occupied i.c.u. beds in the country nearly 45 percent. 3 years after a corruption scandal brought down the last popular party led government it remains

the. just party after the ruling socialist tuesday's victory is likely to boost the party at a national level and influence lock down rebels far beyond the dritte. al jazeera. is a spanish journalism political commentator and he says it's likely the result will have a huge effect on the central government. the conservative party has got 44 percent of the vote they certainly don't have 44 percent of the vote in the whole of spain but what is significant is the collapse of the socialist start i think. really sense a very very strong signal for what is going to happen if there is a general election because the socialist party is in power and it was the 1st political force in madrid now it's the 3rd and it has lost a 3rd of its votes and many of them actually have gone to the conservatives and not a very important development a disappearance of the centrist party citizen's party now what is important about

this is that not only the party disappears but actually almost all of his vote goes to the conservatives it's not split between them and the socialist as you would expect so these 2 things combined i think bodes very badly for the government which also well again it's junior partner the government has had a very bad result as a radical left but i must party so it's bad news for the central government it doesn't mean that they are going to lose power immediately not at all but it's certainly a forwarding of things to come in to a judge say yes time when an election and yet action comes that's anti-government demonstrations in the national strike are expected in colombia on wednesday follows a violent night of demonstrations where $46.00 people were injured over tax increases is turned into a wider movement gets a president's performance more than 20 people have died and dozens more have been reported missing and it's under rumpy as he reports from porto. another terrifying
