12:02 pm
hello and welcome if you're watching from the uk and around the world. india's supreme court says it is facing a national emergency is its health care system because of a second wave of coronavirus infections. many hospitals are fun, health care supplies are desperately low in the number of new cases are spiralling out of control. the third de novo, it is registered at the world's highest ever day dividing coronavirus infections. just make for the third day in a row. the latest figures out on the screen. our daily correspondence was given access to the emergency ward of one hospital and her report contains distressing scenes from the start. the front line — an emergency room in a covid hospital, just about standing under the weight of an unfolding disaster. a patient who's hardly breathing is brought in. to get past the shortage of beds, they've packed in stretchers, wheelchairs —
12:03 pm
as many as they can — but the first line of treatment against covid—i9 is oxygen, and they've almost run out. at this point, there's just one hour of supply left. the staff knows how many lives hang in the balance. people are being turned away, but they don't know where they'll find oxygen or a bed. the intensive care unit is full, too. there are next to no icu beds in a city of 20 million. there is no space, so a patient who needs an icu comes to the casualty, right? what do i do? there is no physical space. we put him on whatever support we can there, trying to organise a bed somewhere or other. but once there is no bed here, no physical space, as you can see, to put another trolley, what do we do?
12:04 pm
we can only do that much. between seeing his patients, the doctor is constantly on calls. back—up just another couple of hours, so we are struggling. we are struggling. he's desperately trying to get more oxygen. day after day, the staff works here, knowing full well that if their families get sick, even they will struggle to find medical care. there is helplessness and anger. the government, in some ways, failed in estimating what was going to happen, the needs that would arise if the numbers started rising. there was a sense of preparation in the earlier surge which seems to have disappeared in between. and they did things which was totally unacceptable — allowing large, huge gatherings, which is totally unacceptable. they believed that we had vanquished the virus. some oxygen arrives a bit later, but it can only last a few hours.
12:05 pm
then, the struggle begins again. yogita limaye, bbc news. and, our correspondent has given us this update from the state of maharashtra. it this update from the state of maharashtra.— this update from the state of maharashtra. , . , , maharashtra. it is a very, very grim icture maharashtra. it is a very, very grim picture across _ maharashtra. it is a very, very grim picture across the _ maharashtra. it is a very, very grim picture across the country. - maharashtra. it is a very, very grim picture across the country. if- maharashtra. it is a very, very grim picture across the country. if you i picture across the country. if you look at the tally for the last three days, india is now atjust under a million fresh new infections that we have been seeing, 340,000 plus in the last 24 hours with more than 2600 people dying and this is the third straight day of a global records of sort that india has set. the oxygen situation the country is particularly worrying and we have heard from a hospital in delhi which lost about 20 patients overnight and they have said that they have 215
12:06 pm
patients currently being operated with oxygen supplies, at least in the morning, withjust about with oxygen supplies, at least in the morning, with just about half an hour left, so that gives you a sense, really, and the kind of situation that most people in the country are battling and we have seen the prime minister takes stock of the oxygen supply situation yesterday and he has set in motion certain things, including, for instance, supply lorries and supply trains as well as roping in the indian air force to try and mitigate the situation. indy has also been airlifting oxygen supplies from places such as singapore and germany and the prime minister has warned states not to hold oxygen and let it pass freely through border so hopefully the situation will ease but now it looks precarious.
12:07 pm
the paper minister has dismissed the claims of his former enquiry dominic cummings who questioned his competence and integrity in an online log. he claimed he tried to stifle an enquiry last giving implicated a friend of his fiancee, which has been denied by number ten. he also claimed he had plans for donors to pay for the veneration of his flat. the prime minister said nobody gives a monkeys about downing street leaks but his claims as serious as apple political correspondent explains. there are some very serious allegations made by the man who was his political adviser who guided him through some of his biggest successes, his vote to leave, the eu, his election triumph, and if we go through what dominic cummings said in his blog post last night, first of all i think the most serious allegation was about downing street renovations to the part the prime minister lives
12:08 pm
in and he said a plan that the prime minister discussed with him plans to have donors secretly pay for the renovation which, mr cummings said were unethical, foolish, possibly illegal, almost certainly broke the rules on proper disclosure of political donations if conducted in the way he intended. number 10 says on that one that government and ministers have acted in accordance with codes of conduct and electoral law on donations and the prime minister has paid himself for those works. second issue, leak enquiry, last year, it is in the second lockdown, briefed to the papers early and enquiry going on in downing street and borisjohnson apparently tells mrjohnson on in downing street and boris johnson apparently tells mr cummings that he wants to stop that enquiry and what mr cummings said was "i told him this was mad and totally unethical."
12:09 pm
that was the prime minister's fiance, apparently a leak was pointing to one of her friends and finally, i think the most damaging thing, no way, was that dominic cummings was drawing together all of the swirl of allegations and accusations we have seen and said... so, where, damian, does this go from here? another enquiry? the uk prime minister having to give evidence before an enquiry? well, the labour party says the thing that they think needs inquiring into is this question around the flat which involves money and decisions by the prime minister at the heart of downing street. the electoral commission is looking into, it says, whether any donations should have been reported, but the labour party says it wants to know and wants a transparent where did the money come from, was that in any form of a loan to him, should that have been declared, questions will be raised about should there be any tax implications that the prime minister should be declaring if he's had
12:10 pm
the benefit of a loan as well, so a whole new avenue of enquiry in all of the swirl of things we have seen but also dominic cummings himself is going to be appearing before parliament next month and says he's happy to answer any questions, and, clearly he's a man who wants to talk. another said the government was run by a clear your stick cabal. that is just one indication of the chaos that mrjohnson seems to bring in his wake and the reason for that is because he is a vacuum of integrity and this has been apparent for very long time, apparent to my colleagues who, i regret to say, elected him or him to be elected as leader of the conservative party and if you have someone who is a vacuum of integrity you're going to get the sort of story
12:11 pm
coming up over and over again. sir keir starmer is calling for full enquiry into allegations saying the integrity of the government has been called into question. it matters because it is about integrity and taxpayer's money and you have the fauna, on a senior adviser to the prime minister saying he has fallen way beale done my way below the standards expected prime minister and the former senior minister dominic vivre saying there is a vacuum of integrity. everyday there is more evidence of the sleaze and, frankly, it stinks. publish the details and a full enquiry and if there is nothing to see here about there is nothing to see here about the refurbishment of number ten, ten, dodgy contents, privileged access,if ten, dodgy contents, privileged access, if there is nothing to say, publish everything and have a full enquiry because sunlight is the best disinfectant. that was labour leader sir keir starmer and we know when to be you some wonderful pictures from inside the international space station which is a really exciting day for the crew because they are preparing to welcome some more astronauts on
12:12 pm
board the spacex endeavour which docked with the international space station a little earlier today. this is the third time elon musk�*s company spacex has delivered humans to the international space station, so that is endeavour and the crew inside the iss are waiting to welcome them through the hatch which is connecting them with the iss. welcome to you to was the greeting from the covent commander of the iss when the docking was complete so now they are waiting to welcome endeavour�*s commander, he was said, thanks, shannon, we are glad to be here, along with the first european on space x, thomas psk. if we capture that moment when one crew comes through the hatch to meet the

will try to bring you that moment live in a few minutes' time if we can. hospitals in india struggle with overwhelming demand for beds, ventilators and oxygen — as it records the world's highest—ever daily rise in coronavirus infections for the third day in a row. the prime minister's former adviser, dominic cummings, has questioned his "competence and integrity". indonesian rescue teams recover debris that is believed to be from the submarine that went missing off the coast of bali on wednesday. more on that now because the indonesian military has announced that they have a cover to be from the submarine on the coast of bali earlier this week. they are still scouring the what of both, for

and crackdown on protests in myanmar, where more than 700 people have been killed over the last two months. following the meeting, the malaysian prime minister said the myanmar military must immediately stop its violence against protesters, release its political prisoners and allow asean officials access to the country for monitoring. let's speak to the bbc�*s south east asia correpsondent jonathan head — who's in bangkok. it sounds as though asean leaders wanted to deliver a rebuke of sorts the general but is there also a risk that an inviting him to an event like this they are giving some credence to the military coup? that was alwa s credence to the military coup? that was always a _ credence to the military coup? that was always a risk. _ credence to the military coup? that was always a risk. it _ credence to the military coup? trust was always a risk. it is when they said they were willing to run and i have to say, both indonesia the host and malaysia, both countries have been pushing for the summit and have taken pains to been pushing for the summit and have ta ken pains to stress been pushing for the summit and have taken pains to stress that they were bringing in... as the commander is the myanmar military, not formally recognise him as head of state of the head of the legitimate government, i think they have tried to fudge this but also is to stress this is not about recognition but is in their mind about having a rare chance to deliver their concerns to him face to face and they're hoping that may have some impact. this man, who has inflicted this extraordinary violence and overthrew a popularly
12:19 pm
elected government, a government elected government, a government elected by a landslidejust elected government, a government elected by a landslide just three months before has been deaf to all pleas for restraint, to all outside influence, apparently until now. his country as a member of asean and they are members that in the past have pursued a much more careful policy with myanmar, what they call constructive engagement, and the argument is if he is going to listen to anyone, he might listen to them. whether he did not, they don't know. they are waiting for what they call the chairman's statement which will what came out of this really quite bleak meeting. the problem for asean is that states like indonesia and malaysia have been outspoken in the need for the burmese military to change course and stop its violence but other states have been far less willing to speak out and then from them, particularly thailand. thai prime a coup leader himself, remember, failed to failed to come to this summit, he says because of coded problems here, but his acts
12:20 pm
absence was noted and the thai government has until now been extremely low—key even though it shares the longest border with myanmar and many people fear that countries like thailand and other undemocratic countries like vietnam and cambodia will not want to confront me and we possibly as some of the other member states will. —— will not want to confront myanmar. armenian leaders and citizens have been gathering to mark the 106th anniversary of the mass killings of their ancestors in 0ttoman turkey during wwi. thousands gathered at the eternal flame memorial to pay their respects. armenians claim the killings were an act of genocide — turkey denies those claims, sayin ght 1915 killings ——turkey denies those claims, saying the 1915 killings were a part of the world war. us presidentjoe biden is expected to make a statement later on saturday. the british socialite, ghislaine maxwell, has appeared for the first time in person since her arrest last year at a court in new york
12:21 pm
where she faced new charges of sex trafficking. ms maxwell pleaded not guilty. she's accused of helping the convicted paedophile, jeffrey epstein, recruit, groom and sexually abuse girls. medical experts are recommending that people who lose their sense of smell — due to covid—19 — are offered "smell training" rather than being treated with steroids. they suggest patients sniff different odours over a period of months to retrain the brain to recognise smells. professor carl philpott is a smell loss expert from the university of east anglia's norwich medical school — and director of the smell and taste clinic atjames paget hospital in gorleston. i asked him about the impact of coronavirus on people's sense of smell... we think about 10% of people are getting persistent problems that last for, sort of, many months and if you go by the number of infections in the uk today, we estimate that that may now be around 300,000 people in the uk that have persistent problems with smell loss or distortion. so why is smell training rather than steroids better? as a group of experts,
12:22 pm
we looked at the evidence for steroid usage, and that's really steroid tablets specifically, and we couldn't really see that there was any evidence that could benefit and, of course, steroids have side effects. probably, in reality, if steroids are going to work that is going to be at the very onset of the problem, but, of course, as most people recover that would be unrealistic to give everybody steroids are what we're saying is for those people who are believed to have a problem, the safest option and the simplest option, actually, is to go through this process called smell training. briefly, what is the process and what can people do at home to retrain the brain and the nose? well, good sources at the charity website fifth sense where there is information about what you can find in the kitchen cupboard at home to take the process of smell training forward and, very simply, it's about twice a day picking at least four things to put under your nose and to train with and they should be smells that you were familiar with before
12:23 pm
the problem started, so don't try anything fancy that's new, just go with things that you understood what they smelt like before the problem started. thousands of children in the uk with complex health conditions can get a vaccine and thus their gp decides they should have them. i hope correspondent has been speaking to two families fighting forjab. —— our health correspondent. a year of isolation. i our health correspondent. a year of isolation. . . . , our health correspondent. a year of isolation. ., ., ., , , , isolation. i have already seen my sun in i isolation. i have already seen my sun in i see _ isolation. i have already seen my sun in i see with _ isolation. i have already seen my sun in i see with all— isolation. i have already seen my sun in i see with all those - sun in i see with all those breathing tubes and wires and ijust knew that i can go through that again. knew that i can go through that aaain. �* ., knew that i can go through that| again-_ she knew that i can go through that i again-_ she is again. and the tunnel of it. she is the strongest _ again. and the tunnel of it. she is the strongest person _ again. and the tunnel of it. she is the strongest person that - again. and the tunnel of it. she is the strongest person that i - again. and the tunnel of it. she is the strongest person that i know. again. and the tunnel of it. she is i the strongest person that i know and this is— the strongest person that i know and this is breaking her.— this is breaking her. judges 13 ears old this is breaking her. judges 13 years old and _ this is breaking her. judges 13 years old and lives _ this is breaking her. judges 13 years old and lives with - this is breaking her. judges 13 years old and lives with a - this is breaking her. judges 13 years old and lives with a rare this is breaking her. judges 13 - years old and lives with a rare and dangerous form of epilepsy. it has left him a health of health —— a host of health problems and a covid

12:27 pm
the winds around the southern flank will be quite brisk so you notice the strength of the wind through this afternoon around the beaches of the southern coasts and certainly across the channel islands. there'll be some areas of patchy high cloud here and they're turning that sunshine hazy but for most of us it is a fine and sunny afternoon and a relatively warm one, especially across western areas, with coasts of north devon and cornwall, west wales, north—west england, counties of northern ireland most favoured for the highest temperatures, 18, 19, possibly 20 degrees — but, for many of us, high levels of tree pollen, so do bear that in mind if you are hay fever sufferer. through this evening and tonight it looks like long clear spells but generally we will see a bit more cloud developing across the eastern and pattering them, maybe into mid wales, that even there, temperatures in many places staying just above good spells of sunshine
12:28 pm
but there will be a bit more cloud developing especially across eastern england, some of that filtering into the midlands and east wales, quite windy once again down towards the south and that wind coming in from the east, coming in quite a chilly direction, actually, so that really will take the edge of the temperatures, just 10 degrees in norwich, maybe 13 in plymouth. highest values are parts of northern ireland, north—west scotland in western england, up to around 70 degrees. if you're looking for some rain as i know many people are the subtle frontal system will bring some rain across scotland on monday, maybe the odd shower into northern ireland and northern england but temperatures will stay dry with some areas of sunshine, temperatures 11—16 , but some of that rain in the north will put southwards but it will tend to fizzle and peter out with southern areas not feeling much in the way of wet weather, largely dry through the week but turning a bit colder.
