7:02 pm
point of saying we're being forced to do this. it's really hard to figure out there and i just want to be an hour for all 30 of us but before that i can just recollect myself. there have been calls for a national lockdown with india hitting another record number of credit 900 cases more than 300000 every day for the past fortnight we have never seen a pandemic of this size and scale and definitely a pandemic that that places the infrastructure not only in towns or basics but in terms of manpower are. many crystallise prime minister nuri interim o.t. for allowing state elections to take place thousands of people gathered for rallies and to vote sparking a record search in new coke a 1900 cases people i've spoken about elections now. you know in

a democratic country no don't just stop elections in a place that the only time i remember. was which you know. i'm decades ago the government says it's providing $6700000000.00 to boost a vaccination drive and with critical shortages of oxygen in the country the indian army is setting up oxygen generation plants in new delhi and neighboring states. $1000.00 you've got about a minute of internet about this plant can generate a 1000 liters of oxygen per minute this will operate continuously so wherever such plants will be installed those hospitals will not have to depend on suppliers any more good medical workers like rouhani and go will continue to feel the pressure might be that people would have told you. before that the because they don't pay them or deciding if they like the baby would be with me until the country can

7:05 pm
population seems to be the priority because when it comes to adult vaccinations you could argue that compared to the united states canada is far behind it only has about a 3rd excuse me. a 3rd of the population that has at least one dose and instead of focusing on getting all adults who are hit harder by the virus vaccinated canada has chosen instead to go the route of getting younger populations that don't necessarily get the virus with the same severe of facts the thinking being the broader the population that's vaccinated the better off the overall population will be and as you mentioned canada experiencing a crushing 3rd wave of cope at 19 in canada as so the feeling being even though this is essentially emergency youth's authorization obviously due to
7:06 pm
the nature of the pandemic no one knows the long term effects that there will be on children but the feeling is that given this small sample that has been studied and released in march some 2200 kids showed no ill effects from the vaccine canada moving ahead we should point out moving ahead before the united states and europe aransas south of the border in the states when will 12 to 15 year olds get the job and how controversial is the issue there. well you know when you talk about kids that's the issue i mean there were already some parents in the united states that were kind of hesitant to get even sort of the run of the mill vaccines that don't have just emergency youths authorization but have broad decades of testing and data behind it so this is the trouble and the challenge that the biden administration is facing in fact the president coming out on tuesday saying that there is concern that the pace of vaccinations in the united states has slowed down so what this the
7:07 pm
measures that are being taken not just for kids but for adults is to try and make this more accessible putting in place pop up clinics and to your question about kids in the united states work spectating that children between the ages of 12 to 15 could get that authorization to also be able to get the vaccination some time next week we know that right now the f.d.a. is monitoring and reviewing this once they give the seal of approval it goes to the centers for disease control they will sign off on it and we know from the biden administration that the vaccine supply for that age group is standing by ready to go white house correspondent kelly how could live from washington could be many thanks indeed for now shadow government but up of politicians says that it set up a people's defense force to protect civilians the national unity government is working underground to oppose the bigotry of hopes this new force will stop the violence more than 700 people have been killed in a brutal crackdown since of military coup in separate. former u.s.

president donald trump has lashed out at big tech off of facebook's oversight board up held his ban from the site trump's accounts were suspended 4 months ago after he was accused of inciting attack by supporters on capitol hill the oversight board says that it was the right decision but recommends the company reviews the permanent base of trump's suspension in 6 months posting on his new independent blog trump says that it's a total disgrace for online giants to institute social media bans and that they messed pay a political price joe madison is a social media and technology analyst and c.e.o. of social flow he says the decision is helped to bring credibility to the oversizing tech companies. i think the oversight board passed its 1st big test you know one of the real questions we call we like to call it the facebook oversight board but if you look at it closely it's actually not the facebook oversight board
7:09 pm
it's just the oversight board it was created by facebook founded staffed and funded by facebook but they clearly need to try to create some separation and i think they did that here they came up with a nuanced decision you may or may not agree with it but it certainly was a loss for former president trump in that he's not not on facebook right now and they up held the decision we will see a criticism of the oversight board's decision they were already saying it from conservatives and i understand that right you've got a point of view and you may not like that decision just like you might not like certain supreme court decisions but i will say that every bit of criticism that's directed at the oversight board is a bit of criticism that's not being directed at facebook so in many ways i think this really looks like a quite a smart move that mark zuckerberg and facebook you know had the foresight to understand look these are really incredibly difficult issues you're going to be criticized no matter what you do we should create a quasi independent board and then try to make it more independent i think is actually in facebook's interest for the oversight board to become even more
7:10 pm
independent because then it can absorb more criticism but none of that is going to make the criticism of facebook or big tech go away and i think that which is what you're alluding to is still going to be a substantial topic of conversation for years to come more and more people around the world a facing acute food insecurity a new u.n. report says that at least 150000000 people in 65 countries are at risk of hunger war and conflict of the main contributing factors but economic shocks exacerbated by the pandemic and climate change are also major courses yemen south sudan and ponce all of the king of fossil above the nigeria set to be asked or approaching catastrophic levels of food insecurity out of reports. it is a survival of the wall 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

7:18 pm
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 it's the g 7 nice to sit it out and continue participating remotely 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 delegates decide that they may need to sit out as well all of this does 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 4 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. israel's president has chosen the strongest rival of prime minister benjamin netanyahu to form a new government yeah pete has the centrist party and secured the support of 56 of the knesset's 120 members it puts netanyahu political future in question after 12 years as leader let's go live now to west jerusalem on to syria's harry forces can tell us more will. he have any more luck than netanyahu and cancer had in forming a coalition. well he may do this is that the big question there are 2 important things that have happened in the last couple of hours one of course is that president reagan rivlin has made his decision and for the next 28 days maximum . is the person in whose hands the official mandate for forming a coalition government now rests and he has already said to
7:20 pm
a rival right wing politician head of the i mean a party enough tally bennett that he would want him to join him in an anti netanyahu so-called change bloc and that he bennett would go 1st for 2 years as prime minister in a rotational deal with the p then following 2 years later what's except extra interesting about this is what bennett said before lapidus given the mandate by the president he said that it was netanyahu fault that there had been the failure during his 1st 28 days with that opportunity to form a right wing government he's rejecting the huge amount of pressure that netanyahu has been bringing to bear on him saying that he needs to commit to a right wing government reject any prospect of working with lockheed on this very broad piece of coalition from the pretty far right to the left wing of israeli politics and so bennett is instead saying that no it's theirs and you know
7:21 pm
it's fault and that he wants now to try to form this unity government that would take israel forward so it seems to be a pretty clear rejection at least for now by bennett of netanyahu the question though is even if he does now fully commit himself to this course of action will they be able to get the numbers and hold it all together to get across the line and form a coalition of the moment they would have 58 of the 61 seats that they would require in the knesset and so there would be rock relying on support from outside a minority government potentially that support coming. from palestinian israeli parties and there are those within bennett's own party who would object to such an arrangement and given that this is the 4th inconclusive election in 2 years how does the trip feel about all of this of a people luke losing interest in all of this these political message machinations well i mean on one level yes people are extremely tired and fed up of this never
7:22 pm
ending saga on the other hand there is a non functioning government for 2 years with all sorts of crises and emergencies the lack of a budget there are impacts to all the people do want to see it resolved and a majority of israelis a narrow majority have voted for parties that want to see a change in want to see nessun yahoo out as for netanyahu this is by far the most acute phase of this political crisis for him his battle for survival he wants to stay at the at the helm of the israeli government or at least in a coalition where he may go 2nd he's offered that to bennett as well in part because he's fighting in 3 corruption cases and it gives him many more options on that front as well and so we are likely to hear from netanyahu in the next 15 minutes or so as he will doubtless try to scupper this potential coalition
7:23 pm
against him there are options available just because he no longer has the mandate doesn't mean he can try to to work in the background either to bring that and bring bennett back on board or indeed just to delay things and hope for a 5th election in the future so things are far from over but netanyahu is in much greater danger than he has been at any stage of this crisis i was there as harry force of the live in west jerusalem harry many thanks. spanish versus the right wing government power in madrid's regional election regional leader of the conservative party is about. to fight pressure from the national government to impose lock downs and kept balls open to votes for record turnout despite the coronavirus pandemic a leader of the left wing alliance problem says that he'll leave politics after his party's poor result south korea has lifted compulsory quarantine for returning
