this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. patients cram into hospitals in india as nearly a million new covid infections are registered in just three days. we hearfrom a doctor in mumbai. we have to literally manage patients at home with oxygen, and this is not something we are enjoying. in a break from decades of diplomatic language, president biden has described the 1915 massacres of armenians in the ottoman empire as genocide. the indonesian navy says debris has been found after the sinking of a submarine with 53 sailors on board.

britain's prime minister is urged to explain how the refurbishment of his downing street flat was paid for, following allegations from his former chief adviser. a warm welcome — elon musk s spacex delivers new crew to the international space station — propelled on a recycled rocket. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. a huge surge in coronavirus cases in india has created dire shortages in medical supplies, with hospitals running out of oxygen. in the last three days, the country has registered almost i million new infections,

and set a grim world record for the highest number of daily cases for three consecutive days. with the health care system close to collapse in some areas, the government says it's waiving customs duties on imported oxygen, and deploying the air force to transport supplies. our south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan�*s report contains images you may find upsetting. patients as far as the eye can see that oxygen remains scarce. but oxygen remains scarce. the situation right now here is really, really worse, critical and out of control. tushar maurya filmed this video inside a crowded delhi hospital, as he took a family member with covid to casualty. it is difficult to provide equal treatment to all the patients. that's why there is a high casualty rate inside, and there's a very negative environment inside. it's the same outside. every day as cases rise, families face a never—ending search

and a terrifying wait. this 17—year—old is taking care of his grandfather as they queue for help at a hospital. he's been here before. his father died while he waited here just a day earlier. "i brought him here in a rickshaw because we couldn't find an ambulance", he said. "my father was gasping for air. he was crying, saying "save me, please, save me, please", but i could do nothing. ijust watched him die. and many have now died because of the supply shortage. doctors have been left in a desperate situation. patients and many people are every time coming in emergency. they want only beds. we have no beds or oxygen and there's a deficiency of a huge amount of oxygen. as the crisis unfolds,

a prime minister under pressure. narendra modi chaired an emergency meeting today, to look at ways to boost supplies of oxygen. but many say it's too little, too late. relatives continue to queue for supplies across india, as thousands continue to die. for every family who gets a canister, there are countless others who won't. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news. dr trupti gilada is an infectious disease specialist in india's second largest city, mumbai. her emotional appeal in a video to family and friends went viral. let's take a listen. it's very, very helpless in that... we have to literally manage patients at home with oxygen, and this is not something we are enjoying. so, i really, really want all of you to follow things that

i really am requesting you to follow. and speaking to us from mumbai, dr trupti gilada — who works at two hospitals in the south of the city — told us why she felt she had to make that video. there was this mixture of emotions that we all doctor's face right now in india. it's an emotion of fear, of frustration, and a fear of helplessness because how much effort we try at some point, we just cannot do our best because there is a lack, shortage of oxygen, shortage of icu beds, and shortage of medicines. and this video was actually made for families and friends to warn them that this is what the scenario is, and it will not take too many things for you to protect yourself from falling prey to this disease. and it had a very clear, simple message and i think it did strike a chord with a lot of people and that's the reason why it went viral because i think in the background of this second

wave, people are all trying to think what can they do to not fall to this entire disease. the most important thing was to mask up because we know that masking works, it works like magic. and the second most important thing was the vexing hesitancy that we've seen over the last three months and now that india opens up the vaccination drive to people above the age of 18, it was a plea to everyone to go and get themselves a vaccine because we've seen in the second wave that those who've been vaccinated have not had severe illness, not have to reach the hospital or died. so even though people might get covid after taking the vaccine, the fact is they will not die of covid nor will they be sick of covid to be in the hospital, and i think that is one message that we really want to let people know about. dr trupti gilada there. brazil is also still in the thick of the pandemic recording over 3000 deaths in the last 2a hour and tens of thousands of cases.

presidentjair bolsonaro has threatened to deploy the armed forces if lockdown measures imposed by state governors generate chaos in the country. he described lockdown restrictions as cruelty against those who need to earn a living, saying they could cause widespread hunger and riots. state governors have bypassed mr bolsonaro and imposed curfews in an attempt to contain the virus. us president biden has formally described the 1915 massacres of armenians in the ottoman empire as "genocide". 0n the day marking the anniversary of the mass killings, his use of this word is a deliberate break from decades of carefully calibrated language from the white house. turkey has accused the united states of trying to rewrite history. our international correspondent, 0rla guerin, has more from istanbul. a solemn ceremony of remembrance

in the armenian capital of yerevan. people here see the past as a burning injustice. more than a century on, it has now been recognised by america as a genocide. president biden, seen here today leaving the white house, has taken a historic step, a reckoning with history, and has given his verdict. the statement issued by the white house is damning. the president refers to the ottoman era armenian genocide and says... these painful images from 1915 show some of the horrors. skulls on public display. armenians hanging in full view. for decades, turkey has denied this was a genocide and said

innocent turks died too in the turmoil of war. it has reacted angrily to president biden�*s move. i reached the senior adviser to the turkish leader, who said president erdogan had tried to talk him out of it and there would be consequences. we could not dissuade him. it's very sad because once the cat is out of the bag, you can't put it back in. we feel that this is that situation. declaring this as an act of genocide is going to bring a lot of complications. this is my grandfather and he was the only survivor of the armenian genocide. the loan armenian mp in the turkish parliament told us it would mean far more if turkey acknowledged the genocide.

i want to believe in turkey and i believe in. turkey is going to face this genocide one day, and we will have thatjustice one day, i'm sure about it. will you see it in your lifetime? i hope to see it. but two generations have passed, without seeing that justice. this will cause fresh tension between america and turkey, two nato allies, but the reality is, relations are already deeply strained over a range of issues — including turkey's human rights record, and president biden is making it clear he's not too worried about keeping the turkish leader happy. 0rla guerin, bbc news, istanbul. former us ambassador to turkey, jamesjeffrey, explains why there was such an angry reaction from turkey to biden�*s announcement. many of us who are concerned about the important turkish—american

relationship of course cautioned against it but in the end, biden had made this commitment to his voters and he carried it out. it also has a lot of support in congress and we have to remember that many, many countries including many in western europe and russia have done this already but the us plays a special role in turkey's national security, so it has a bigger sting than anybody else to be honest. the turks feel sensitive about this not because they deny what happened to the armenians in 1915 but the use of the term "genocide", they see this associated only with nazi crimes and it's an effort to make turkey the "other" in the west even though it's a nato member. so that's the sensitivity to turks including erdogan, it's much bigger than erdogan. james jeffrey. three people are reported dead in attack on an iranian fuel tanker off syria. firefighters have extinguished the blaze following the suspected drone attack. the syrian oil ministry is quoted

as saying the tanker had been targeted from nearby lebanese waters. germans are now facing tougher nationwide measures to slow covid infections, including night curfews and school closures, after the government managed to pass a controversial new law. the restrictions will be in place everywhere with more than 100 new infections per 100,000 people over the last seven days. the president of real madrid football club has said the 12 sides who attempted to form a european super league cannot walk away as they have binding contracts. florentino perez insisted the project, or one similar to it, would be launched soon. real madrid, barcelona and juventus are the only clubs not to have pulled out despite a public backlash. the first lebanese—made car, an electric vehicle, has been formally unveiled to the public. it will sell for $30,000.

analysts say it's a bold venture launched at a time when the lebanese economy is the grip of crisis. the uk prime minister is under pressure to explain how the refurbishment of his downing street flat was paid for, following allegations by his former chief adviser. dominic cummings has claimed borisjohnson considered what he called "possibly illegal" plans to have conservative party donors fund the work. downing street says mrjohnson paid for it himself, and that nothing improper took place but labour has demanded an inquiry. this report from iain watson contains flashing images from the start. out but not down. boris johnson's closest adviser left downing street in november, but now, dominic cummings has not only denied that he leaked some of the prime minister's text messages, he also opened a pandora's box of accusations

against his former boss. the most serious is that the funding of last year's renovation of the downing street flat where the prime minister lives with his fiancee, carrie symonds, wasn't above board, amid reports that costs were spiralling out of control. in a blog, dominic cummings says... and this former conservative law officer, and long—standing critic of borisjohnson, has now entered the fray. my impression is that there has been a constant wriggling about the source of the money for this refurbishment, and that's just one illustration of the chaos mrjohnson seems to bring in his wake. and the reason for that is because he is a vacuum of integrity. the government says the prime minister has paid for the work himself, and that no codes of conduct or electoral law were broken.

the electoral commission is looking into whether there were any undeclared donations. number 10 says that all donations that need to be reported, have been. but labour is accusing the government of not playing fair. they want to know if any conservative donor was initially involved in the funding, and are calling for more transparency and inquiry. publish the details. have the full inquiry. if there is nothing to see here, whether it's the refurb of number 10, whether it's the dodgy contracts, whether it's the privileged access, if there is nothing to see, publish everything, have a full inquiry, because you know, sunlight is the best disinfectant. but a former adviser on standards in government thinks that more information rather than a new inquiry is what is needed. we have probably got enough inquiries going on. it's actual concrete, hard evidence, which demonstrates where things have gone wrong, which is critical now and cummings mightjust be able to provide some of that.

and dominic cummings has a means of communicating what he knows. next month, he'll be able to give evidence publicly to a joint committee of mps on the government's handling of the pandemic. the prime minister's former adviser clearly believes that the best form of defence is attack. he is now questioning borisjohnson�*s competence and his integrity, and dominic cummings says he is happy to have every e—mail that he sent and received during his time here at number 10 published. dominic cummings is showing no signs of getting back in his box, and that could be bad news for his former boss. iain watson, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... as indian hospitals struggle to cope with an escalating coronavirus crisis, experts say that the worst is still to come. 0ne virologist told the bbc the peak was still two weeks away. in a break from decades of diplomatic language, president biden has described the 1915 massacres of armenians in the ottoman empire as genocide.

an indonesian submarine which has been missing since wednesday with 53 crew members on board has sunk — the country's navy has confirmed. officials say debris from the vessel has been found. it follows an extensive search of an area north of bali, where the vessel disappeared. here's our correspondent richard galpin. this submarine, the nanggala 402, disappeared four days ago. on board, 53 crew members taking part in a torpedo exercise off the coast of bali. contact was lost after the crew asked for permission to dive. a major operation to find the stricken submarine was launched, with malaysian and australian ships amongst those helping. today, it became clear all was lost.

the indonesian naval chief, yudo margono, told a news conference the submarine had sunk 850 metres down from the surface. but the hull could only withstand the pressure at 500 metres. as a result, he said, the hull cracked. he also announced that some items from the stricken submarine had been recovered, including a piece of the torpedo system and a prayer mat. the navy insists the submarine was seaworthy but it was a0 years old. the search continues to find the bodies of the 53 submariners. richard galpin, bbc news. at a face—to—face meeting, southeast asian leaders have told myanmar�*s military ruler that the burmese army must stop killing protesters and release political prisoners. myanmar�*s new leader was on his first trip abroad since seizing power

in a coup in february. jonathan head reports from bangkok. there aren't many places where the burmese coup leader, accused of genocide and crimes against humanity, gets a welcome. his invitation to meet other southeast asia leaders injakarta is controversial. they've argued that they have to meet min aung hlaing to start a dialogue which might help end the crisis in myanmar. however, asean's failure to consult the parallel government formed by mps from last november's election in myanmar is drawing plenty of criticism. they have sent the wrong message for asean. you give an impression that asean is approving of people who hold power illegally or unlawfully. 0r illegitimately. the meeting concluded with four demands, all apparently accepted by the myanmar delegation. the leaders said the violence must stop, the negotiations must start

between the military and the opposition, for more humanitarian aid channels into myanmar and for a special asean envoy to be appointed. however, a call for political prisoners to be released was dropped from the final communique. translation: it's beyond our expectation, that's not to say | we weren't confident but we did not expect this meeting would go well, our proposals would be accepted. the myanmar general in his response did not reject them. and this is very encouraging progress. officials say the meeting did not confer any formal recognition of the military regime. however, the extraordinary defiance shown by so much of the burmese population presents asean with a crisis it's ill—equipped to address. a member state lurching towards a wider civil war and where those in power have used shocking violence to impose their rule. it's a crisis which cries out for bold and decisive action,

something that people in this region have learnt never to expect of asean. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has called for "calm on all sides" after several nights of violence in and around occupied eastjerusalem. more than 100 people were hurt on thursday night in clashes that involved the police, palestinians and far—right jewish demonstrators. militants in gaza launched missiles into southern israel. the israelis responded with air strikes on gaza. there were no casualties on either side. from jerusalem tom bateman reports. the israeli security forces are on horseback and now pushing back the crowd. the palestinians here who had been gathering of it there was something of a stand up for quite a while and the israelis have moved in

trying to get this crowd back. we saw some objects and some stones being thrown towards the israelis, firecrackers there from the palestinians. and this is really all been about the israelis trying to disperse palestinians here and the significance of this spot, this is damascus gate come at the entrance to the muslim quarter of the old city and you can see here why this place matters. these are steps that on these ramadan nights after the evening prayers and if tar meal, palestinians will come and sit here. now the israelis have put up barriers erected here. this has been over the nights the thing that was creating this sense of tension here. certainly here at the moment it feels a bit quieter than it has been in previous nights. but certainly at the eastjerusalem palestinians have been trying to make their way back to the steps here. they have been showing determination. 0ur correspondent there tom bateman.

four astronauts on board elon musk�*s spacex crew dragon spacecraft have successfully docked at the international space station for a six—month mission. it is the third launch in less than a year for nasa's commercial crew programme, which relies on private sector companies operating from the us. angus crawford reports. we start to see the detail on dragon there as it is closing in. docking just moments away. but endeavour�*s been here before. this its second mission to the international space station. metre by metre, the gap closes. until... dragon spacex on the big loop, soft capture confirmed. the four astronauts blasted off on friday from the kennedy space center in florida. the first to use a rocket booster recycled from a previous flight. checks complete between space station and capsule, time to meet their crewmates for the next six months.

confirmation that the crew is go... making a total of 11 astronauts now on the station. it has not been this busy for years. it is really unbelievable to be here on the space station. the space station has changed quite a bit since last time i was here. i have never seen so many astronauts on board. different spacecraft on board. i think it is a tribute to how strong our programme is going. a new era in space, then. thanks in part to a recycled rocket. station, this is houston, are you ready for the event? angus crawford, bbc news. steve swanson is a former nasa astronaut who flew three flights to the international space station. we asked him how he felt seeing the astronauts arrive at the space station. it's a great moment for them, for the crews getting there, they've accomplished a lotjust to get to that point. and so, it's a really, really happy moment. the first couple of

months are always pretty good, kind of like the honeymoon period, and then it starts to wane a little bit as it gets to be kind of old had that environment to me was fantastic, living in the micro gravity and a floating environment, i love that aspect of it, but then you weigh that against being away from home, being away from yourfamily and from home, being away from your family and friends and the food and all the other things you can't do back on earth, and that starts to take its toll a little bit as time goes on. it's kind of interesting and even to me at the very end though, i got happy because i knew i was going home but i was still up there in this great environment and that was the best time for me was like the last month. i think it's a great model that nasa and spacex working together is a great model. the thing that i start to worry about at this point that we are at is now they've had three successful crew missions, and i'm worried that they would get a little complacent

and they are very busy at spacex, they are launching all sorts of other vehicles, and it's something that you really have to be diligent about and so i'm hoping that they keep that focus on the mission when they're doing that. it's easy, it has happened at nasa before but we know we just have to fight that feeling and always stay focused. former nasa astronaut there is steve swanson. you are watching bbc news. after the weather we'll take a look at tomorrow's front pages in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are personal finance journalist anne ashworth and the independent�*s economics editor, ben chu. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello. the temperature rose to near 20 celsius in the warmest parts of wales and scotland on saturday in a day of virtually unbroken sunshine once again. plenty of sunshine again during sunday. if you are looking for some rain though, there is a bit coming in the forecast. how much? you may be left feeling underwhelmed. high pressure still around on sunday, the flow of air around that, particularly to england and wales will be a stronger easterly. it will feel a bit

cooler but especially if you're along that north sea coast it will be a rather chilly day even when you do get to see some sunshine. it's a cold start to sunday with another frost in many areas away from larger towns and city centres, —3 possible in the coldest parts of eastern scotland. there will be some areas of patchy cloud around to begin with. a lot of that will clear away though, some areas will stay hazy during the day. some cloud will continue to push in towards eastern parts of england. maybe producing a light shower. it will be cloudy a little on the down side in shetland and there may be an isolted on heavy shower later in the day in the scottish highlands. notice the winds are strongest through england and wales. very gusty through the channel, channel islands and into southwest england, overall it's a bit cooler. especially along that north sea coast but around 17 in the sunniest parts of the west. 0n through sunday night and into monday we do start to bring in more cloud. monday morning is looking cloudier. notjust cloudier but wetter

in northwest scotland as the weather system moves in. but still where there are some clear spells overnight and into monday, you could still have a touch of frost. it is a different looking picture on monday. the high pressure being squeezed away as we see this area of low pressure begin a rather slowjourney southwards throughout monday and tuesday. bringing at least the chance for rain. there will be some falling in scotland on monday. edging its way slowly south. later in the day, you could see a little bit feeding into its parts of northern ireland and england where as for the rest of england and wales it stays dry. could still be a fair amount of sunshine around here. that continues moving south overnight and into tuesday. again the chance for a little rain, beyond that as the week goes on there will be a few showers around. it will be on the cool side still and there is still overnight, the risk of frost. that's your weather.
