nestling into the mid forties, 44 degrees in doha. it's cooler as we had for the south and got that southwesterly wind kicking in across oman, and that's going to bring temperatures down, particularly in dubai. if we have a look, what happens by the time we get to thursday, we're raging into the mid thirties there, but lots of sunshine around in it's a similar story for the horn of africa looking relatively dry and clear here. couple of showers across the open rift valley, but it's really in central parts of africa that things are drying up, few showers across uganda, but relatively dry from what we expect to see for this time of year. we have got a wind keeping things cool along the coast of kenya with 25 degrees in nairobi. ah, for a life and death struggle for racial equality in a deeply unequal society. fortunately, that was fine for the apartheid regime within that group. they've been very close

continue to drop. but how reliable are these figures that hello darren. the exact numbers aren't reliable and that's because india has never conducted enough tests. you know, the real number of infections, independent health experts, all say that the real numbers are much higher than the official death toll and also a number of cases. but what is undeniable, what we are seeing is that the number of cases have been coming down for the last few weeks, despite testing, remaining the same as it was 2 weeks ago. and so the over or trend is good. and that is that the number of cases are declining and would be pressure on the health care system on hospitals easing. and that is something that we have seen again on the last few weeks. we haven't seen that same pressure. we're no longer seeing those long lines outside hospitals or people dying because they can't find big rock

fish. and so would that pressure easing? the focus is very much in the country shifted on in the fight against the quota virus in terms of vaccination people and the rate shortages of vaccine the government on tuesday has made a new rule saying that everyone can make walk in appointments and be mandatory online registration for 18 to 44 year old has been removed, so they're trying to make the process simpler. but they haven't necessarily provided the doses states which have been trying to make their own arrangements of foreign manufacturers are being told that pfizer and modern, told the states was, pun, job in delhi, that they're only going to deal with the central government. but it's the central government, which told states to make their own deals with manufacturers, both foreign and local. and so vaccines. the shortage of and guessing the population vaccination has become very much the focus of india fight against the

government has a very difficult relationship with social media platforms. it was just a few days ago that they asked all social media platforms including twitter, to remove references to what's being called the indian variant of the corona virus . the technical term has be 1617 at 1st emerged in india. and it is called the indian very and commonly as previous variance will call the u. k. the south africa, the brazilian very, and the indian government is against the saying that no one should call it that the world health organization isn't calling it that prominence. and that is, morty has faced a lot of criticism for his handling of the pandemic, including ignoring scientists from scientists, warnings earlier this year about this new variance. alright, to elizabeth for on him life us in new delhi live. thank you. now 18 years after the start of sedans die for conflict, the 1st man suspected of war crimes, as appeared at the international criminal court. i left rockman consider the leader
