previously underlined. the oscars are well under way. chloe zhao has become the first women of colour to be named best director. hello and thanks forjoining us. 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 in the previous 2a hour period.

our correspondent, yogita limaye, reports. 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 which i am 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. 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. this man runs a group of volunteers here. "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.

let's get some of the day's other news. funerals have been held in iraq for more than 80 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. are the president of ireland said uefa had made the wrong call and was out of order to insist that fans had to be at

the games. the 93rd academy awards are taking place in los angeles — a very different occasion for obvious reasons. parts of the ceremony is being held at the city's historic art deco union station. some of the winners of the major categories have been announced as well, so let's get over the other corresponded in la. what is the latest? yes, more of those big counter categories. the 73—year—old south korean actress has been named best supporting actress in the story of a korean family that moved to rural america, to arkansas, to rural america, to arkansas, to try their hand at working with at least running a farm, and it's a really entrancing movie, and if you haven't seen it, it's all about endurance and family life. she plays the grandmother, and rarely from the moment that she appears on screen, which actually isn't until halfway through the film,

she really dominates the storyline. she is a loving grandmother who has a very enduring relationship with the children in the story. 73 years old, and she has really made it big now here in the united states — of course a familiar face and well—known in south korea. chloe zhao has been named best director for nomadland named best directorfor nomadland in the other of the big categories. it's fair to say it's probably the favourite to take the top award of the night and probably about an hour's time from now for best picture. as you say, a very different oscars this year taking place in downtown los angeles, in the city's main railway station. some of the performances at the dolby theatre, a little bit behind me here. there is an lapd helicopter circling overhead — i don't think it's got anything to do with the oscars. it's just another night in los angeles. thanks for that. i look forward

to you and tom brooke picking through some of these awards a little later in the bulletin. indonesia says a navy submarine that went missing on wednesday has been found — broken 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. the military has not yet said if the german—made submarine, which was more than a0 years old, 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 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. david campanale, bbc news. get ready for an apple update. 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... ouch. 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. looked out for the update this week. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: why the us state of idaho, has approved a plan allowing up to 90% of its wolves to be wiped out.

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 at first denied anything had gone wrong. only when radioactivity levels began to increase outside russia were they forced to admit the accident. for the mujahideen, the mood here is of great celebration. this is the end of a 12—year war for them, they taken the capital that they have been fighting for so long. it was seven o'clock _ in the morning when power began to pass from the minority. to the majority, when africa after 300 years reclaimed its last white colony. -

this is bbc news. the latest headlines: international aid is being sent to india as it battles a ferocious second wave of covid and oxgen shortages. at the covid—safe academy awards, chloe zhao has won the best directing oscar for nomadland. and best supporting actress for her role in the film are free. —— minaree. one of the success stories in the wilds of the us state of idaho in recent years has been the return of wild wolves. but now they are under threat again because of that success. the state house of representatives could vote as early as monday to approve legislation allowing private contractors to kill up to 90% of the wolves. and if it passes, the bill would go to the governor to be signed off. pretty magnificent animals, aren't they? 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 $1,000 for each wolf they kill. earlier i spoke to garrick dutcher. he's a researcher, documentarian and project director of living with wolves. i asked him for his reaction to the cull. 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 in idaho, we have far more black bears, 20,000 black bears and about 3,000—4,000 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 ranchers. they are rancher politicians, and a third rancher who is a retired politician was also involved in drafting this legislature, and then it was also given input by the wool growers

association, the cattlemen association in idaho and a couple of hunting groups. right, i was just 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 elks and deer and cattle, and you mentioned the ranchers being behind this particular legislation. notjust killing the cattle but worrying the cattle, too, and that has an adverse affect on farmers' lives. yeah, ok, so, we live in a state with 2.5 million head of cattle, which far outnumber the people here, and wolves killed in the last fiscal year of wildlife services keeping track of this, about 102 of them out of 2.5 million cows and 300,000 sheep. that is how many confirmed depredations occurred by wolves on livestock in the given year.

that's about average. and it would be far more cost—effective to simply pay for the dead livestock with the now $810,000 annual budget that is being given to kill wolves and try to drive their numbers down. they have a valuable ecological role to play here within the ecosystem as a top—level carnivore. would you say that it might be reasonable that some should be culled and perhaps, i think for you in particular, it would also be about how that is done and how they would be allowed to be taken out of the system, notjust hunted down ortrapped, probably? unless there are particular wolves that are causing a lot of problems, which there really aren't, where there is a chronic issue of depredation by one particular pack, we don't see that. and in cases sometimes we do

and they do take out those packs, but it is not, again when you are only losing 102 out of 2.5 million in a year it's rather insignificant. some of this budget, $300,000 of it, is also to kill wolves that are eating elk which is their primary diet in idaho. we are within a few percentage points of our all—time record high elk population as well so it is difficult to reconcile the need to cull wolves given the facts on the ground. that the facts on the ground. was a documentarian frorr idaho. the awards are coming thick and fast at the oscars. best supporting actor and actress, best director. a whole load actually. it's get to peter and tom brook how is it going peter? it

oscars programme here on bbc news presented by jane hill. that's at 08.30 gmt on monday. make sure you tune in for all the results, interviews and reaction. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @bbcdavideades. 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 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.
