this is bbc news. i'm david eades with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the international community sends urgent medical aid to india but infection rates and deaths continue to surge. after body being brought in. it's hard for anyone to keep count, but what workers have been telling me is that the real scale of deaths caused by covid—19 in india is a lot higher than what official numbers reflect. the missing indonesian navy submarine is found split into three pieces on the sea floor. there are no survivors.

apple at loggerheads with facebook over an iphone update that will help protect users�* privacy online. and the year's most prestigious film awards — the oscars, are due to be handed out in a live, scaled—down ceremony in los angeles. international efforts are under way to help india as the country suffers critical shortages of oxygen and record daily coronavirus infections. the united states is the latest country to offer emergency medical equipment. britain has begun flying out ventilators while france and germany will also send crucial supplies in the next few days. the indian prime minister, narendra modi, has described the surge of infections as a storm that has shaken the nation, a storm which took 2,767 lives

our correspondent, yogita limaye, reports from delhi. the capital is being ravaged at a frightening speed. 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 iam seeing. the government is a literalfailure. 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. for many here, the government's promises of rushing in oxygen are coming too late. but it's already too late. families are left asking why something so basic is unavailable. every crematorium we've been to, we've seen body after body being brought in. it's hard for anyone to keep count, 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. "even young people are dying. "it's a very bad situation. "if it keeps getting worse, we will have to burn "bodies by the side

of the road", he says. 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 are needed in the production of the astra zeneca covid vaccine, so that it can produce its own supply. our world affairs correspondent paul adams has more on the countries who have come to india's aid. we are seeing now an awful lot of offers of help coming from quite a lot of places, so the british government today pledgin around 600 pieces of individual medical equipment including a95 oxygen concentrators. now, those are machines that are able to generate oxygen from the atmosphere,

thus relieving the pressure on the hospitals�* own oxygen systems and also 120 non—invasive ventilators and 20 manual ventilators. in the last few minutes, whether the white house is dispatching immediately medical equipment and protective gear and also the eu today, we heard from the eu commission president ursula von der leyen that says the eu is co—ordinating work across members, activating something called the eu civil protection mechanism designed to pull the resources of the various emergency departments so equipment can be sent as quickly as possible. again, the em - hasis quickly as possible. again, the emphasis very _ quickly as possible. again, the emphasis very much _ quickly as possible. again, the emphasis very much on - quickly as possible. again, the l emphasis very much on oxygen. funerals have been held in iraq

for more than eighty people killed by a fire at a hospital in baghdad treating coronavirus patients. at least a hundred more were injured. reports say an accident caused an oxygen tank to explode, sparking the blaze. the iraqi health minister has been suspended pending an inquiry. fighting has erupted in the somali capital, mogadishu, between different sections of the security forces. some support the opposition while others back the president whose mandate was recently extended by two years. ireland's prime minister has sharply criticised european football's governing body for dropping dublin as one of the venues to host matches for the delayed euro 2020 tournament. micheal martin said uefa had made "the wrong call" and was "out of order" to insist that fans had to be at the games. indonesia says a navy submarine that went missing on wednesday has been found — split into three pieces — on the sea bed. it follows an extensive search of an area south of the natuna islands,

where the vessel disappeared. it's been confirmed that all 53 crew died. (gfx 00v)the military it's been confirmed that all 53 crew died. he military has not yet answered whether the decades—old german—made submarine was overloaded when it sank. david campa nale reports. 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, warships, planes and hundreds of military personnel carried out a frantic search, hoping for a miracle rescue before oxygen reserves ran out. but 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 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 safeguarded 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 naval officials discounted an explosion, however, as it was crushed by massive water pressure in the vast depths. david campanale, bbc news. apple is expected to release a significant update to its operating system this week. it's already sparked a row with another tech giant — facebook. the update will allow users to decide whether or not they want to be tracked by advertisers. so what does it mean for the industry and the rest of us? here's our media editor, amol rajan. two of the most powerful men in history are engaged in a very modern conflict. tim cook of apple and mark zuckerberg of facebook are in an ideological and commercial

argument about how open the internet should be. and it's coming to a head with apple releasing the latest update to the operating system on its iphones, what's known as ios14.5. until now, if you own an apple phone, all of the apps you have downloaded have automatic access to something called your... this is a building block of digital advertising. it allows companies, if they want, to track your activity across other apps and so build a detailed picture of your behaviour, your location, interests, spending habits and much else besides. with ios14.5, apple is going to flick an enormous digital switch and only allow companies to track your activity on their own apps unless you give explicit permission. in other words, presumed consent will be no more. facebook has launched an extraordinary pr campaign against apple, taking full—page adverts out in us newspapers saying these moves would limit

businesses wanting... they argue that apple, currently worth over $2 trillion, that's nearly three times facebook�*s value, are motivated by money because they take up to 30% commissions from sales through the app store. apple argue this is about the principle of privacy. though tim cook said a few weeks ago that he wasn't focused on facebook, back injanuary he also said... the open, advertiser—fuelled web does have huge advantages for small businesses and many users, but it involves trade—offs. our data trails mean we are targeted and often manipulated in ways we don't fully appreciate. apple control the hardware, and so have the power here. that's one reason why facebook are investing so heavily in the hardware of the future, augmented reality smart glasses combining encyclopedic knowledge with what's in front

of our eyes. apple are believed to be working on a rival project. the deeper question here is how much does privacy matter to you in this digital age? and while we ponder that, the battle between cook and zuck is shaping our future. the 93rd academy awards — the oscars — have just begun in los angeles. there is some razzmatazz, but it's a very different occasion, with part of the ceremony being held at the city's historic art deco union station. let's speak to our la correspondent peter bowes. you are looking great, peter. i hope there are some people who are going to see you. give us the lowdown on how this will work this year. we the lowdown on how this will work this year.— the lowdown on how this will work this year. we are finding out. it's work this year. we are finding out- it's an — work this year. we are finding out. it's an oscars _ work this year. we are finding out. it's an oscars like - work this year. we are finding out. it's an oscars like no - out. it's an oscars like no other, as you've been describing with two main venues in los angeles, just a few

blocks, we have a dolby theatre which is the traditional oscars venue and a few mile away in downtown los angeles, most of the ceremony is coming from the city's main railway station, union station which is a great building, cavernous ticketing area and waiting area where much of the ceremony is being broadcast. we've seen the first ten minutes, opened by the actress and director regina king. the oscars as a show doesn't have a main presenter so we will see several presenters over the course of the next two or three hours. she didn't opening monologue, talked about current events in the news, the trial in minneapolis over the last few days, talked about covid of course and explained to the audience so it was possible that the oscars can go ahead like this, and she said they put a lot of time and effort into treating the station like a movie set in the rule in the movie set is that while the cameras are rolling, masks are off all the time, masks are on

and everyone must be socially distanced. that is how they are managing to pull it off and talked about how movies and television and film generally, entertainment, has got many of us through the last 12 months. then they quickly moved onto the first two categories, best original screenplay which went to emerill fennell for promising young woman and best adapted screenplay for the father which is the film that anthony hopkins stars in as an elderly man suffering from dementia. elderly man suffering from dementia-— dementia. we will 'oin you lateralongfi dementia. we will 'oin you later along with _ dementia. we willjoin you later along with tom - dementia. we willjoin you | later along with tom brook dementia. we willjoin you i later along with tom brook to get some of the other awards. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: why the us state of idaho has approved a plan that will see up to 90% of the state's wolves killed.

nothing, it seemed, was too big to withstand the force of the tornado. the extent of the devastation will lead to renewed calls for government help to build better housing. internationally, there have already been protests. sweden says it received no warning of the accident. indeed the russians had at first denied anything had gone wrong. only when radioactivity levels had begun to increase outside russia where they forced to admit the accident. the mood here is of great celebration. this is the end of a taken celebration. this is the end of taken the _ celebration. this is the end of taken the capital that they have — taken the capital that they have been fighting for so long. it was — have been fighting for so long. it was seven o'clock in the morning _ it was seven o'clock in the morning when _ it was seven o'clock in the morning when power- it was seven o'clock in the i morning when power began it was seven o'clock in the - morning when power began to pass— morning when power began to pass from _ morning when power began to pass from the _ morning when power began to pass from the minority - morning when power began to pass from the minority to - morning when power began to pass from the minority to the i pass from the minority to the

senator mark harris who sponsored the legislation that passed in the senate last week said there were more than 1,500 wolves and they want to get that number down to 150. people could be paid up to $1000 for each wolf they kill. garrick dutcher is researcher, documentarian and project director of living with wolves. he's in sun valley, idaho. hejoins us now. thanks very much forjoining us. obviously you have been a big part in the reemergence in the wild and theyjust wonder reemergence in the wild and they just wonder what you make of this decision?— of this decision? corrects david and _ of this decision? corrects david and thank - of this decision? corrects david and thank you - of this decision? corrects david and thank you for. of this decision? corrects - david and thank you for having me. well, it is very tragic to see this kind of thing happen after such a successful recovery over the years. we do not have too many wolves and idaho, we have far more black bears, 20,000 black bears in

about 3000— bears, 20,000 black bears in about 3000- 4000 bears, 20,000 black bears in about 3000— 4000 mountain lions. wolves are not the problem that they are made out to be and incidentally, when we look at legislation like this, this particular piece of legislation was written by two branches. they are run politicians, and a third rancher who is a retired politician was also involved in drafting this legislature and thenit drafting this legislature and then it was also given input by then it was also given input by the cadomin association and idaho and a couple of hunting groups. idaho and a couple of hunting urou s. ~ groups. wright, iwasjust groups. wright, i was 'ust going to say and i groups. wright, i was 'ust going to say and i i groups. wright, iwasjust going to say and i should | groups. wright, i wasjust- going to say and i should point out that i think these pictures are from your documentary work as well. they are magnificent creatures but when you say that they are not the problem, of course the argument is that they are because they are attacking alex and deer and cattle, and you mention the ranch as being behind this particular legislation — make

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 colderfrom the north as the winds start to come in from

a northerly direction. just 7 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 7 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.
