the last 24 hours to be more hard to read. and of putting off a decision on the issues but it's the little side stage that has to. deescalate the situation. and say this is the gaza skyline right now there have been as strikes conducted by israel in the strip 20 palestinians that have been killed but we'll bring you a bit more detail on that a couple seconds. according to causes health ministry 20 palestinians were killed in israeli airstrikes and response to rocket attacks on jerusalem just hours earlier how massive threatened an escalation in violence unless israeli security forces left the al aqsa mosque compound on monday morning more than 300 palestinians were injured when israeli forces stormed islam's 3rd holiest site for the 2nd time since last week israeli

forces fired rubber coated steel bullets tear gas and sound bombs at palestinian wash as we've also heard from the prime minister benjamin netanyahu promising a forceful response saying that israel did not seek escalation but that anyone who did seek escalation would feel israel's might. and talking about the fact that israeli soldiers israeli civilians and jerusalem itself in its surrounds had come under attack if people were wondering and they were about the fate of this monday the potential for this to be the day that things really blew up after all these weeks of simmering disturbances and tensions in jerusalem the answer is come and it's been pretty grim. why did was the mark i called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop these horrific violations and provide protection to the citizens of the palestinian territories especially in the city of jerusalem

which is undergoing ethnic cleansing today jerusalem is restoring the glow of the coals. well now moving to other headlines in the afghan government and taliban have said they'll both observe a rare 3 day ceasefire for the muslim holiday of aid later this week it comes after a deadly weekend topped off by a surge in violence right across the country the latest explosion killing 11 people traveling on a bus in the southern province of zabul and then iran's foreign ministry has strongly condemned an attack around its consulate in karbala on sunday protesters in the iraqi city targeted iran after an anti-government activists was shot dead in an apparent execution supporters of a was any set fires around the iranian consulate. as the headlines we're going to bring you much more news at the top of the next hour in 30 minutes time i will see you then stream is next.

i have a me ok today on the stream we are taking you behind the headlines of the covered 19 crisis in india so you can. we have assembled a team of experts and you can literally awesome anything about the global pandemic of how it's playing out in india let's meet the guests hello dr hollowed out to so and hello a new it is good to have you here on the strain you remind astron what it's who you all. me. good and i'm

working on both you know there's a dent in the good to go care unit in a guess and in how donna india i've been a frontline of our last one well you know and i've been handing patients patients of coordinating. thank you for joining us again ripped from the front lines of coverage 19 in india we have talked to so and that's something please introduce yourself welcome to the stream like if i me i'm dr i've been there so i'm chairman of the institute of liver transplant. about current doing liver transplants i have been a part of several research groups in the call would tend to make. related one important national study thank you so much for joining us on a new it's good to see you introduce yourself to international audience. hieronymous. journalist in delhi india us and i have been covering this pandemic if the figure of covering called an indian welcome so you have met out experts you can

ask them anything if you are on you tube make use of the comments section and be part of today's discussion and part of today's q. and a let me start with you dr kaka the last time we spoke to you on the street we said how is it how is the 2nd wave going in india fast forward to today what would you say where the thinking may be in india has been good if you ask me during the 1st move. around 01100000 cases are deep but now in the current we are having about 400000 years ago so you can imagine the level of devastation not engulfing our country you're having we've seen too many dead too many dead that we could have avoided and it's basically basically a mess right now. dr so and i am on your twitter feed and it is a joy to behold in terms of giving out information your medical services far beyond

just taking care of patients you of there aren't saying questions i wish i could answer all questions but running ahead tick clinical shared your i am so glad that you're here with us right now what is the most popular question you are being asked right now i mean there's no one question that i could be going through several questions that everybody is asking me. i think the most common question is when they test positive for covert they all go into a state of panic so they want to know what to do at home when to call a doctor when to head for a hospital so these are basically the theme of the commentary that i'm getting so we obviously have a protocol for management and what i tell them is to connect with a good call with tradition and several would do this and all across the country in every hospital and all the physicians who do not normally practice and on medicine

or parliamentary medicine have also david ted and now started rising people about cobra because every hospital has fixed go without a cause so the online teams that are on seeing people's grades and in fact helping them through mild queered at home has really gone hundredfold compared to last so we have said protocols we advise them on the protocols we tell them when to you know what morning signs to look for when to head for a hospital and so on. the other common question relates to vaccinate so a lot of people are asking us you know if i am on blood thinners going to have the vaccine if i had the 1st vaccine then i had a mild infection then do i take my 2nd 2nd shot and so on they have all been on vaccination quite a lot i said so does something you can ask all those questions without giving us the ounces immediately and mustn't go ahead not since. so there's this

simple dictum on blood thinners that everybody should get the vaccine even if they're on blood thinners if they're running a particularly high level of drug and consult your cardiologist or of our school or doctor or the internal tradition who's taking care of you you might want to stop those for 3 or 4 days and then take the heart for more than 95 percent of the people on blood thinners which include anti platelet grants and regular doses of anticoagulants you can go right ahead and take back their own k. all right straight answer that i appreciate that and i want to show you something here this is k. on my laptop and this is what the string put out a little bit earlier a 2nd wave of coronavirus is overwhelming health facilities and have a toy ems what questions do you have about covalent india and i'm just going to go down to mn of an os why can't they lock down the country and wondering if you look

down the movement stop social gathering maybe that will help the 2nd wave a new what if anything reporting on the idea of a lockdown. a couple of weeks ago i did write a story about why 2nd lockdown would be a bad idea and i think you know we were not thinking if numbers like this at that time and experts did feel that a lockdown will be excessive i think unfortunately we've now reached a situation where our health facilities are so overwhelmed that a lockdown has now become incumbent in that did have a lockdown last year which was a brutal lockdown and it triggered a humanitarian crisis with millions of people walking out on the streets and trying to get home we are gotten to facing a lockdown it's just that it's different from last year or so last year was a nationwide lockdown and what we currently have actually delhi which is the capital of the country so we're having a sort of regulated lockdown in different parts of the country where different

governments state governments are taking that call on their own so there isn't a nationwide lockdown of yes i mean we do have a lockdown in different parts of the country which now just has to happen because health facilities are overwhelmed does a cut i saw not one but i know i don't want to don't you think can i just come in here so close so don't you think we are we're like a mini world in ourselves i mean we have we are such a large population we are a huge country we have so many states we're like several countries together and therefore some of. the the regional lockdown that's happening in different parts of the country and more states are following is going to be necessary to break the chain of transmission to give a breather to the health care workers to give a breather to the supply chain of essential to be oxygen supplies and get them all to get young water some back seat ramp up the vaccination drive so here obviously

along the likes of locked up but we are have never to be heading towards if not a nicely locked down a sequential lockdown of the country and we have seen that in delhi and bombay. more guns have started working the numbers are actually coming down to be used but they're going up you know what you're going to. i mean what a lockdown you know if. there's people like me perhaps you know we have this privilege of ordering food home working for more men you know locked out is ok for me but this country is not comprised mostly of people like me who comprise of people who actually do need to you know do physical labor. don't go out to work yet they're going to start so there was a humanitarian crisis with the 1st lockdown so i do understand why that what the problem is with with another locked up lockdown i'm going to push this on a little bit because i have so many questions eugene thank you for your patience this is and go shall she says please can you explain about black fungus dr kaka

is that sort of that you want to pick up on because that is is is going around online a lot of black fungus means what. we're seeing again is in rich people the president with a new one my course is that the name of the disease that has been done does that fungal so patients who are on steroids are patients were immunocompromised or you know say they are going on steroids but these are the kind of patients who are more susceptible also without infections which may be back to infections which may be fungal infections so this is something that that's going around in maharashtra and in places where we saw that they can live only even in delhi within a few cases people are coming up with being in there in the around that i didn't around that are you know in the forehead so the you know the patients were treated for it as. medicines without antifungal medicines and. who are more susceptible

patients who are immunocompromised patients who are you know the kind of patients who need to be very careful with the amount of steroids they're digging when they start with steroids and when they stop just you know it's. a lot of people i nor who are taking steroids far for it mind you this is something that's not recommended anywhere people are just popping steroids like you know like it's candy that's something that's not recommended anywhere in the world and i would suggest anybody was watching this video to not big steroids if it's not indicated by your doctor or somebody who was actually treating your kid do not start out on your own with consult a doctor so what i'm showing here on my screen is a tweet and it's also on your instagram post about what that fungus is stuck to so in and of people your ideas and exactly. dr tucker about when you should use steroids when you shouldn't and the complications that happen from that

the cause of that fungus so that instead as you can go to dr alvin does saying so in instagram or so his twitter that that information that is potentially deadly i want to move on to a topic that a lot of you were talking about on ally and that is vaccines let's start with this comment 1st of all the. other day we would go to the symptoms of 19 and i would read your worried and want to know more about the long term complications of the disease on the body and that's what is vaccination is going to the most common question we're going to be using it now probably believes. the logical list or do to go back you know not be z.z.z. id be the music and selenium you know exactly so we're going to lose there is. no absolute value if you're illiterate and have access to x. industry good and still see. deltas so many questions about vaccines veggie evils

on which of right knowledge of says hello everyone i've been trying to register for a jap and i caught that one i fall into the task of a little to 40 for his own it's hard to do this what is the problem not to sell him with people who have had a ton of accident in a car got one for me it's no secret that he is falling vocally short of the vaccines at the actually made we have a huge shortage we grossly miscalculated the number of vaccine be going to need or rather how long they would take to deliver and we would have to administer them in a few months so i think stand now we've only administered about it nearly $200000000.00 as well as we need to administer $1200000000.00 doses if you want to get anywhere now to levels that israel or u.k. are in the moment and they're being able to see the end of the pen demick at least

for now so to get all of this you need to actually do to the east 50 or 60 percent of your population and that's when the numbers go big numbers will start to decline so we're falling short of axioms now what's being done about about seeing this something that i'd like to discuss and i've treated for several days on the shortage of rex you know what we need to do are we need to x. need about a 1000000000 more with 1000000000 more dollars in the next 6 months where does that 6 months come from we're in the midst of the 2nd wave which is speaking now hopefully plotting out and going by the experience of the rest of the world we probably have between 4 and 6 months before we get the 3rd baby and these are there for a 6 months that we have to use to bax needs rapidly having said that i live better that asco out of the better the vaccine is going to come from site. sorry yeah i was just going to add on the same point i mean you know if there are that are

approved clean but only 2 that are currently being used and both of these are vaccines that are being made in india saw a doctor i mean this point where the vaccine is going to come from there actually being made in india it's a talking shaman pretty that you know it's not like maxine that having to be flown into the country from elsewhere but we've just miscalculated and i don't know how we could miscalculate we knew how many people we have in this country and how many people are going to need the vaccine but policymakers just didn't count the number of. our own or the number i mean what a terrible irony making that recently because i think i was a doctor so if i may because i've got more i've got more questions if i may because because we're trying to do the questions i'm making available for our audience this is ashish ashish mishra dr tucker have a listen to she says question and come of the fact that announcer here we get. people who. are not positive but very symptomatic so they never kissed her parents somehow. or maybe they were positive. going to.

africa we were going 67. to the vaccine how we've known that about 46 getting these side effects or anything which could be down for good or for you that's a very interesting question that i just got and according to me i think this shouldn't ever create a problem because the effect the vaccine has on the body and the effect that could go it has on the body is to create immunity and you get immunity from any means by getting the infection and so far we're getting. you know a less even infection a vaccine so it's like we want to hurt you in any manner you can see if you go for a vaccine you know regardless of regardless of what they were symptoms or is symptomatic you maybe you can go for the back. sorry pick up on not because people say what is about to even though. is that an aussie know that

so we have to accept that and go back soon and go we both had been shown to be effective in producing antibodies to be excel to the 2nd shot so the 1st shot is given a one day 0 focal ratio you have to wait 6 to 12 weeks before you get the 2nd shot antrel rolle vaccine you have to wait 12 weeks and 2 weeks off to the 2nd shot you have protection against cold and now you still may get mild infection after vaccination and there have been many breakthrough infections as we call them but the vaccines prevent severe disease and debt that is something that's a fact that is universal across the road in india and elsewhere but all of the approved vaccines right now i'd like to also a qualify the statement that com not just needs if you don't know that you have to wait and you have asymptomatic awaiting the go ahead and get the vaccine there will

be no problem but if you do have over it and if you had to feel it in cough it is actually recommended that you recover from that and if it's been mild then 15 days off to recovery you can have no explanation but if it's been my great deal since you have quit then you have to wait a month before you will go ahead and get vaccinated in fact window am i don't know vaccines in the us the c.d.c. recommends waiting 90 days before you go ahead and get your backs enough to be an actual my patrol indian vaccines the recommendation is between 15 and 30 days depending on hans to get a good infection has been. i am thinking a new earth the big headlines have been coming out of india in the past 2 weeks one hospitals being overwhelmed 2 vaccines not being available from the pharmacy of the world which is india and 3 widely about variance this is what i want to pick up with the next cd because critic has a question about the variants have

a listen and then share what you know about variants the biggest question no probably is facing and you know we're all finding answers for is how is this why this violence is going to change over time and how to look and what are the potential risks of this new these mutations and changing the viral instructor out of people i mean i think that's a question for the commission on the program the w.h.o. has just said today that the variant in india they are now classifying it as a variant of concern and not just a variant of interest so this means that india is sort of risk status has been upgraded honestly just today just a couple of hours ago but the specific that you carry that i pass it on to the experts on the on the benny of course yeah of course so. those are people published in infectious diseases just 2 days ago which shows that in the oratory.

the kovacs aim was effective against the indian variant which is the. 1.617 right. in the laboratory we saw that it was affecting the real world experience is still not being generated because we haven't done enough genomic testing of patients that have been followed along the children back to the issue but we are hoping that the vaccination to those of the vaccination prevents the reality than that even among the. like i said has been seen with the other vaccines in the rest of the world into being with south africa and u.k. and we are hoping and praying that even with the indian berry and 2 doses of vaccine should be ok i mean even this time we haven't had that many severe diseases and among patients will be back when it. you didn't. don't do something.

even if even if there are multitudes of murder and going around the mosque who would protect you from any kind of media in the mosque would you have them any kind of notation so other than what do you know about radios going around rather than worry about musicians going around you should be focused on. you should wear your glasses you should use on it a little bit of a and just just relax because. you must know you and you you shared your question or with the doctors because variances not just a news story but also is a science story but i'm going to give this one to you in the doctors will not want to answer this one this is from sub hand she said when she says i really want to ask about the our ignorance of our prime minister it has destroyed us there's a lot of complaining on the you tube comments about prime minister modi because of the way he has handled this entire situation with a 2nd wave in india as

a reporter how is that being played out in india. absolutely and that if there's good reason babs why the doctors may not be able to where they need to do their job. we have a prime minister this is a 2nd term that he is the prime minister and he's been he's one with an overwhelming majority so he's an important man and i have wondered if the reporter watching several broadcast that he has made to the nation why on any of these broadcasts he wouldn't have used that amazing time that he has with a whole country wrapped around his finger why he didn't use that time more effectively to just tell us the kind of things that we need to tell us you know he's a prime minister was speaks in hindi in b. is the is a language that's spoken by large majority of this country to speak to people in the language they understand you know there's so much of all and adulation for this prime minister just tell people the kind of things they need to hear this is also a government that likes to brag and as a journalist closely tracking statements from this government watching their press releases they have bragged but you know the evidence right now does not allow it

any more bragging and. you know my sense is though that and i like wheat and i took a look at it it's going to be to the sometime ago i said if there's an election to be this government will still win again i do believe that because there are a number of reasons why there is love for this government in this prime minister but you know i think. everybody whether you support his government or you don't whether you have had your business prosper or you have and everybody has lost someone this pandemic and that will impact at some level the next time we go to vote so we have so many questions on id cheve comment section thank you everybody for taking part in this program it really shows how much how much the information is needed and our experts have done an excellent job one of the things i haven't done though is there taking care of you i'm wondering he's taking care of a zen doctor kaka how medical professionals doing how are they coping the scenes

that we've seen in the last few weeks are excruciating how is your mental health how are your colleagues mental health. but i know i know a lot of people around me who are in and good depressants right now who are taking on the ends i do goblets who aren't terribly date now a lot of my colleagues who just want to resign to just want to get out of medicine as a good at it as a little. we are hanging by a thread we are. well on thout we are all the work and it's really hard to put into words how you know young doctors and villains doing it as then seeing it is going to put in there that were doing this last one well your and even now the bantering doesn't seem to end we're just we're just witnessing so much misery even witnessing so much that. we were never prepared for this never never but. don't you go don't you go to work everybody why you don't. well i do but i don't know whether it's

just emotive words because you still have that you still have that zeal and so you do save lives i think that is what is driving us so while what you said is absolutely true we had all of the end of party we are all obviously we want out of this but i think that the morale and the spirit of workers are still pretty high and you know they may be suffering on the plus not front but on the professional front i don't think there is any letup at all on everybody. i think partly because the emboldened by the fact that the all blacks need to or most of us are. you know but example i had my 2nd bout of starting about 3 and a half weeks ago for about 5 you know i had symptoms for about 5 days but luckily after that i was ok and through the 15 days that i was isolated i was doing about 20 to 25. down to larry and every day dr so and and and. recently

you thank you for your service in india and for us here on the stream i'm going to leave it our new dr so and kaka thank you very much for being part of the strong today and. thank you for your questions we appreciate them take everybody cinemax time. and russell beard in southern england where 2 farmers turned safari park pioneers of that's the track that is put native in the driving seat and just absolutely astonishing the life of the poor back even not very fast so much and i mean again so here in santiago with chile one by layering companies revolutionizing the ports system using plants and artificial intelligence here in science you have the science you have the technology the surprise on al jazeera cultivating fruit is the foundation of human civilization but food today is a global commodity the 3 industry did not make money how many people would be anti . it's cultivated the contentious debate public interest in the public safety is
