in los angeles and talk to one of the nominated directors. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. from the uk to the us, saudi arabia to singapore, international efforts are now under way to get india the medical supplies it so desperately needs, to deal with the surge of sickness and deaths caused by coronavirus infections. a key part of the effort is to help ease the shortage of oxygen. britain has begun by flying out oxygen concentrator devices and ventilators. us presidentjoe biden says the united states

is determined to help india. france and germany will also be sending equipment in the next few days. india has now seen a fourth day of record infection numbers. from dehli, yogita limaye reports. with every pyre that burns, india's self belief is dying. each funeral is a story of personal loss and national shame. charanjeev malhotra has been helping to cremate the dead for decades. now, he barely ever stops working. "i've never seen such a terrifying situation. i can't believe that we're in the capital of india. people aren't getting oxygen, and they're dying like animals," he says. "we don't even have enough resources to cremate them properly." outside, shivangi mehra's on the phone, organising oxygen for the hospital she works in.

nothing, nothing is being done. i don't know if government is sleeping, or what they are doing. i am totally disheartened with the situation that i am seeing. the government is a literal failure. a person cannot live here in delhi. a person cannot even die peacefully in delhi. she is waiting to cremate her grandfather, who died, she says, because there wasn't enough oxygen. this small hospital in north delhi is facing a daily struggle. and we have been spending sleepless nights since the last one week. at times we feel like crying, because we are not able to help patients properly. every day, it is the same scenario. we are left only with two hours of oxygen. and we are only getting assurance from the system, no oxygen. and so, families are being told to organise oxygen. at one medical shop, we found people with empty cylinders, waiting to buy their own supply for loved ones who urgently need it.

people are being told that the government is rushing in oxygen. but it's already too late. every crematorium we've been to, we've seen body after body being brought in. it's hard for anyone to keep calm, but what workers have been telling me is that the real scale of deaths caused by covid—i9 in india is a lot higher than what official numbers reflect. and a lot of those who've died right now have done so because they couldn't get oxygen in time. there is a sense of abandonment in this country. citizens are stepping up to do what a government should. left to fight a vicious pandemic on their own. yogita limaye, bbc news, delhi. the united states is lifting a ban on sending raw materials to india which will allow the country to produce its own supplies of the astrazeneca vaccine. our world affairs correspondent, paul adams, has more on the countries who have

come to india's aid. it is beginning to be quite a chorus of offers of support and it is the british government today pledging around 600 individual pieces of medical equipment and those include 495 medical equipment and those include a95 oxygen concentrators. those are machines that can generate oxygen from the environment and can relieve the pressure on the hospitals on oxygen systems in addition to that, under 20 noninvasive ventilators and 20 manual ventilators. we also had just in the next few minutes, the white house is dispatching a range of equipment and raw materials for vaccines and medical equipment and protective gear and also the eu today, we heard from the commission president who says that the eu is

insisted it was seaworthy. it follows an extensive search of the area where the vessel disappeared. the submarine is one of five in indonesia's fleet and had been carrying out training exercises when it disappeared. the navy received signals from its location more than 800 metres deep in water is below the capacity of the boat or its crew to survive. an underwater rescue vehicle loaned by singapore gave visual confirmation of the wreckage. the reason for the submarine sinking is not yet clear. the crew had asked permission to dive. it lost contact shortly after. translation: it is not human error, not human error, - because they followed the right procedures during the dive. from the very beginning of the dive report, we have heard the preparation procedures were carried out properly. and when it dived, the lights were still on, so there was no blackout. after it was reported missing, more ships, planes and hundreds of military personnel carried out a frantic search, hoping for a miracle rescue before oxygen reserves ran out. what an oil spill was spotted where the vessel was thought to have submerged, pointing to possible fuel tank damage and a catastrophic accident. translation: we, the people i

of indonesia, would like to convey deep sadness for this incident, especially to the family of the submarine crew. the crew were the nation's best sons, best patriots, who saves god and the nation's sovereignty. the officials have not given an explanation for the accident but said that an incident occurred that left its crew unable to resurface. holding up an orange emergency suit recovered by the underwater submarine rescue vehicle, the navy said it looked like the crew had tried to respond to an emergency. naval officials discounted an explosion, however, saying the evidence suggested the submarine came apart as it was crushed by massive water pressure in the vast depths. the headlines on bbc news. the united states says it

just 29, but they are under siege from the get—go and it was a mixture of wastefulness and the hand of hugo that kept the spurs in it. right up until the 82nd part when laporte was statuesque in the spurs were just static. it is interesting that all the chance they had another position they had, their goals would come from a set piece like that. but it was very well deserved. plenty of fancy feel aggrieved that laporte was even on the pitch because there were two incidents in the first africa picked up two yellows been off the pitch. but as it was, city very deserving of the victory and with the champions league semi finals coming up in three days' time, it is quite a surprise for most that they really did go with such a strong line—up. sterling was menacing, foley was mesmerising in even the spurs of harry could do nothing about it. kane himself disappointing. did not look fit it all in the sickest ones for the spurs fans to put down as one of

those bad days of the office. importing down the road map to recovery, the government pilot, 8000 fans, they had to have a negative test to get in here today and i think a lot of them or sing before the match, we don't know what it'll be like. they made their voices count. it was an atmosphere here today there was a miracle given it was just 10% less than that. but they really make their voices heard i think the players seem to get a lot out of it. certainly city did and they were added for the first minute. it was fantastic to see fans and to talk to them again, how we have missed them. manchester united were held to a draw by leeds and had to settle for a point from a disappointing game that offered up no goals.

wind would be on the largest stage in the world and making more people throughout the world where if it's happening in yemen. you throughout the world where if it's happening in yemen. you persuaded a doctor and nurse _ happening in yemen. you persuaded a doctor and nurse to _ happening in yemen. you persuaded a doctor and nurse to let _ happening in yemen. you persuaded a doctor and nurse to let you _ happening in yemen. you persuaded a doctor and nurse to let you film - happening in yemen. you persuaded a doctor and nurse to let you film the i doctor and nurse to let you film the most emotional distressing scenes. how hard was it to get to that point? how hard was it to get to that oint? ., , ., , , ~' ., how hard was it to get to that oint? ., , , ~ ., �*, ., point? you probably know there's an embaruo point? you probably know there's an embargo over— point? you probably know there's an embargo over the _ point? you probably know there's an embargo over the country _ point? you probably know there's an embargo over the country that - embargo over the country that prevents journalists and film—makers from getting easy access and so our first hurdle in doing the film is reallyjust first hurdle in doing the film is really just getting first hurdle in doing the film is reallyjust getting into the country and getting the paperwork to be there. and of course at second hurdle was how do you build trust with doctors and nurses and families were doing the most intimate of work, right? spending there every day simply trying to save the life of a child and that process for us was based on the foundation of trust that took a long time before we arrived in the country to lay the

foundation for the project and trying to learn about their work and how we could collaborate closely with them to get the word out about this vital life—saving work that they're doing. i this vital life-saving work that they're doing-— this vital life-saving work that the 're doinu. ~' ., they're doing. i think you are there less than two _ they're doing. i think you are there less than two hours _ they're doing. i think you are there less than two hours before - they're doing. i think you are there less than two hours before you - they're doing. i think you are there| less than two hours before you saw they're doing. i think you are there l less than two hours before you saw a child die in front of you and i want to ask you, notjust child die in front of you and i want to ask you, not just about child die in front of you and i want to ask you, notjust about engaging the suspects are the people there but also the people there, you're showing them so horrific things so disturbing. if your time on keeping the audience with you? yes. disturbing. if your time on keeping the audience with you?— disturbing. if your time on keeping the audience with you? yes, force it is. bells the audience with you? yes, force it is- bells on — the audience with you? yes, force it is. bells on the _ the audience with you? yes, force it is. bells on the greatest _ the audience with you? yes, force it is. bells on the greatest tensions i is. bells on the greatest tensions in the film. how much is too much and —— that was. and to use the words, images can galvanise and i believe deeply that the power of cinema as the visually driven medium can do something absolutely unique. that can't if done with respect in the right level of intimacy —— that,

if done with respect. to do with the full measure of dignity, we can show hard things and hard things that people should see so that they understand what's happening so we can move towards changing the current political dynamic. was it hard to film the child passed away in front of us. absolutely. in both the doctor of the child wanted us to try to include as much of that footage as possible so that the rest of the world will know what's happening here. skye fitzgerald. and blet me give you a taste of the talent we were hearing about from anousha. both viola davis and the late chadwick boseman nominated for their leading performances in ma rainey�*s black bottom. enjoy.

a! a, daddy! please come home to me! i'm on my way! now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. the sunny, dry theme to the april weather continued through the course of the weekend. this was the picture in wiltshire on sunday, so similar to many areas, blue sky overhead butjust quite dry and in fact quite cracked ground. some parts of southern england has seen barely any rainfall throughout the entire month so far. now this week a return to some scattered showers. we won't all be seeing them, but there is, thankfully, a little bit of rain in the forecast. and things turning a bit colder as well. we've got a small, slow—moving area of low pressure moving in from the north, slowly slipping south over the next few days. so monday morning, then, starts off on a bit of a milder note.

particularly for scotland where we've got more cloud. still likely to see a frost across parts of england and wales, particularly in the north. monday morning, then, initially quite a bit of cloud in the south but that will tend to break up so quite a lot of sunshine coming through. there will be more cloud for scotland with some patchy showers heading in and they will be heavier during the course of the afternoon for parts of eastern scotland. one or two into northern england and northern ireland. further south in the sunshine it's also less windy than recent days as well, so we are losing that biting easterly wind. still a bit of an onshore breeze making things cooler around the east coast, but further west temperatures for the likes of cardiff and belfast are up to about 16 degrees on monday. and then as we move through monday night into tuesday this area of low pressure still with us as it moves its way south we will start to see some showers rotating around that area of low pressure. so hit and miss scattered showers on tuesday, but they will probably avoid east anglia and the southeast where we could really do with a bit of rainfall around. staying quite mild in the south, up to about 16 degrees in the sunshine, but turning colder from the north as the winds start to come in from a northerly direction.

just seven degrees or so for aberdeen. into wednesday i think the focus of the showers probably for wales and the southwest of england. fewer showers around elsewhere, perhaps one or two around these east coasts where it is, again, going to feel chilly. just seven degrees for the likes of aberdeen. but could well be 15 or 16 for southern parts of england and wales too. but as low pressure drifts off towards the near continent that's going to open the doors for these cold north or north easterly winds, once again coming down from the arctic. so temperatures in the cold side towards the end of the week for thursday into friday, just about getting into double figures by day but do be prepared if you've got gardening plans, we could well see a return of frosty nights. bye for now.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines. families are told to buy their own oxygen as india hits a record number of new coronavirus cases for the fourth day in a row. the uk is sending more than 600 pieces of medical equipment to the country in a bid to help — including oxygen concentrators and ventilators. a senior minister declines to say whether borisjohnson was ever lent money or sought donations to help pay for the redecoration of his downing street flat. england's biggest football teams and the sport's governing bodies will stage a four—day boycott of social media from next friday to campaign for social media companies to crack down on online abuse. and, as la gears up for tonight's oscars, we go behind the scenes
