this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. india becomes the first country to officially record more than 400,000 coronavirus infections in a single day. us and nato troops officially start pulling out of afghanistan, after nearly 20 years. there is a warning from the taliban. unicef has said it is deeply concerned as the british government cuts its core funding to the united nations body by 60%. an end to care home isolation — residents in england will soon be able to take low—risk trips without having to self—isolate. the difference in my mother is

remarkable and it has been commented on. the light is back on in her eyes. and happy birthday to one of the world's most iconic buildings. the empire state building is 90. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. all adults in india can now get a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine. that's good news — in theory — for a country that's become the first in the world to record more than 400,000 coronavirus infections in a single day. but many states in india have closed vaccine centres because of a shortage of supplies. and hospitals are still struggling to cope, short of beds and oxygen. devina gupta has more from the capital delhi.

400,000 and counting. surging covid cases now making inroads in india's hinterland. these villagers in the eastern indian state of 0disha are living in fear. people here are so poor that they can't afford a proper mask, let alone expensive treatment. now three people have tested positive. translation: there are no facilities for oxygen in our village. _ we have to go to the city, but how can we when there is a shortage, even in city hospitals? and his concern echoed in this private hospital in delhi where 12 people lost their lives when the oxygen stock ran out. translation: we begged them to arrange oxygen i from anywhere that they could. during that time, there was a gap of about 45 minutes, when the stock ran out. despite this, we failed.

this is a warning that india is running out of time to save lives, as the virus continues to challenge the inadequate health infrastructure here. experts believe the country needs a national lockdown to prepare better and break the cycle but so far india's prime minister has opposed this idea, emphasising on vaccinating more people. in fact, in an ambitious plan, he has expanded the vaccination drive to all adults above 18 years. and with an estimated 600 million more people asking forjabs, most vaccine centres have run out of stocks. translation: we were told that it | would be a first come first served | thing here but the vaccination centre is deserted. we will see what we are going to do, whether we will get it or not. the government here continues to deny there is a vaccine shortage. but as cases climb, most nations are closing their borders for india. for now, those living here are betting against odds for a vaccine to get a fighting

chance against this pandemic. devina gupta, bbc news, delhi. ravi agrawal, is editor in chief of foreign policy magazine and was previously based in new delhi. he says this is the biggest challenge narendra modi has everfaced. i think that is fair to say, this is a humanitarian crisis the likes of which india has not seen in decades. it is in a sense an embarrassment for this government that has over the last seven or eight years tried to portray itself as a rising world power, more muscular global diplomacy. india has not been accepting foreign aid for well over 15 years and is having to reverse course on that. but more than all of that, there is a rising tide of palpable anger across india because many in india believe this was avoidable. let's not forget that just a few months ago narendra modi

had declared victory over coronavirus and indians were preparing to go about their daily lives, cricket matches being played with tens of thousands in the audience, a giant hindu religious festival withheld with millions dipping in the ganges, election is ongoing with large political rallies that narendra modi himself led, so given all of that and given the loosening of restrictions on the complacency that setting over the last few months there is now a backlash, and it is big backlash. does that potentially make it harder to bring in stricter lockdown is let alone thinking of a national lockdown, because it would be an admission of political failure. lockdown, because it would be an admission of politicalfailure. in lockdown, because it would be an admission of political failure. in a sense it would _ admission of political failure. in —. sense it would make it admission of political failure. in 5. sense it would make it harder admission of political failure. in 5 sense it would make it harder but one of the things this government is trying to do is to ask various states and cities to have their own versions of lock downs that are tailored to the crises that they find themselves in. i don't think it

is likely that india would go for another national lockdown the likes of which it did about one year ago, and that is in large part because a national lockdown would then mean migrant workers would leave the cities again and go back to the villages and potentially spread coronavirus in rural parts that still haven't seen large caseloads take off, so my senses that would not happen for a while to come, but either way i think trust in the government is lower than it has been in years and that would affect any government decision i should caveat all of this by saying narendra modi has long been one of the most popular active leaders in the world with approval ratings in the 70% range that is higher than you see in leaders in the west. i don't think that will change overnight but his reputation has been dented. the afghan taliban has warned that they're no longer bound by a commitment not to attack international troops in the country. the undertaking was part of the taliban's bilateral agreement

with the united states, signed last year. that deal also committed the us to withdraw all foreign forces by today — may the first. but the us and its allies have just started the withdrawal process, and expect to complete it by september 11th, a delay which has angered the taliban. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowesjoins us now from los angeles. peter, how is lee west role of troops from afghanistan being seen in the united states? i troops from afghanistan being seen in the united states?— in the united states? i think there are mixed feelings _ in the united states? i think there are mixed feelings across - in the united states? i think there are mixed feelings across this - are mixed feelings across this countrx — are mixed feelings across this country. this is america's longest wan _ country. this is america's longest wan we _ country. this is america's longest war. we have heard president biden referring _ war. we have heard president biden referring to — war. we have heard president biden referring to it as the forever warrant _ referring to it as the forever warrant we heard president trump talking _ warrant we heard president trump talking about endless war. they both had the _ talking about endless war. they both had the goal of bringing us forces back home with a different timetable. today first may was to have treen— timetable. today first may was to have been the deadline set by the trump _

just in crisis spots like yemen and syria but because of the covid crisis there are so many knock—on impacts of the pandemic that have increased the demand for non—covid health care, it has been crowded out by the pandemic, that the charity is trying to deal with. they say this cut will have an impact on that. the contrary side of the british government says, the pandemic has hit the economy and they are having to make some tough decisions at the moment in the uk will still be spending £10 billion, 12— $13 billion a year on aid next year, one of the biggest donors, it is just having to spend less. what we are seeing now is just drip having to spend less. what we are seeing now isjust drip by drip having to spend less. what we are seeing now is just drip by drip what impact that will have on people on the ground. sport now and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. manchester city are now on the verge of clinching their third english premier league

title in four years. they beat crystal palace 2—0 which means if second placed manchester united lose on sunday — city will be champions. both of city's goals came in a frantic couple of minutes in the second half — sergio aguero and ferran torres the scorers. city are also 90 minutes away from their first champions league final and their manager pep guardiola admitted he might watch just united's game on tv on sunday. i cannot deny it, tomorrow at 4pm they play, i will take a look. i will take a look but apart from that it is in their hands. we need one victory and we will be champion, and i am really impressed that the way we have done this premier league. i am so proud. fulham's hopes of premier league survival look even more remote after their 2—0 loss at west london rivals chelsea. kai havertz with both of chelsea's goals. that result, along with brighton's win over leeds leaves scott parker's side nine points from safety

really good job that we were front row, and i think tomorrow hopefully it is a calmer day and hopefully we can have a good race. at the world snooker championship shaun murphy is through to the final after producing a stunning comeback to beat fellow englishman kyren wilson. he won eight frames in a row i against last year's beaten finalist to win 17—12. murphy now through to his first championship final since 2015. he will face either mark selby or stuart bingham. stuart bingham kept his chances alive with a break of 85 in the finalframe of alive with a break of 85 in the final frame of the afternoon session. they will resume shortly with selby leading, the first to 17 will make the final. tom daley and matty lee have marked their return to competition with a synchronised 10 metre gold at the fina world cup injapan. it's an official test event for the tokyo 0lympics

and it's the first competition for 14 months for the pair, who had already qualified for the games. they achieved a total of 453.60 from their six routines to finish clear of mexico and canada. next to tennis — britain's cameron norrie is through to the final of the estoril open in portugal after beating former wimbledon finalist marin cilic in straight sets. not such good news though forjo konta. she's out of the madrid 0pen, losing to world number 54 anastasija sevastova of latvia in the last 16. that's all the sport for now. let's get more now in the us and nato troop pull—out from afghanistan. it began with the reprisals against the afghanistan taliban for sheltering al-qaeda as

it planned the september 11 attacks. joining me now is dr asfandyar mir — he's a postdoctoral fellow at the center for international security and cooperation at standford university. thank you forjoining us. how would you describe the key security challenges now in afghanistan came back so president biden's decision to pull us forces out certainly extricate america from a very complicated war, but the war itself is not going to end and the conflict is not going to end and the conflict is likely to interact new phase. there are three major challenges. there are three major challenges. the first is the question on whether the taliban will attack us forces as they pull out. earlier today the taliban issued a statement saying that they are not bound by any agreement any more now that the has passed. howeverthey agreement any more now that the has passed. however they remain in consultation on whether to do that. the us military has proactively

attacked some taliban ammunition dumps in the south of the country in a bid to deter taliban violence. the second key challenge is the future of the security forces. us military is worried that these forces may not be able to withstand the challenge of the taliban, that they might collapse. us senior officials have said that, and then the final concern is about the future of jihadists. al-qaeda is depleted but still has a presence in afghanistan. the chief of al-qaeda was assessed to be in afghanistan until mid to late last year, and the most worrying aspect of the jihadist revival issue is taliban still maintain relationship with al-qaeda and they are only offering very minimal guarantees for now, and al-qaeda for its part is portraying the us were throwing as its own directory. the us were throwing as its own directo . ., ., ,,

directory. from the uk and the us, the taliban — directory. from the uk and the us, the taliban is _ directory. from the uk and the us, the taliban is often _ directory. from the uk and the us, the taliban is often seen _ directory. from the uk and the us, the taliban is often seen as - directory. from the uk and the us, the taliban is often seen as a - the taliban is often seen as a pariah group, but presumably it does have support from elsewhere. 50 the have support from elsewhere. so the taliban has long _ have support from elsewhere. so the taliban has long been _ have support from elsewhere. so the taliban has long been allied - have support from elsewhere. so the taliban has long been allied to - have support from elsewhere. so the taliban has long been allied to the i taliban has long been allied to the government of pakistan. they have supported the taliban for the last two decades, but over the last 2—3 years the taliban have expanded their relationships. they now have a relationship with russia. they have also travelled to china and iran and iran has also additional supported the taliban with its insurgency as well. the taliban continue to face a lot of international condemnation and opprobrium, but there pariah status is reduced in large part due to disagreement the us has signed with the taliban in february 2020. thank you so much for your time.

in england covid restrictions are gradually lifting and strong tuesday there will be new roles for residents of care home two will final be able to go out for walks and visit relatives gardens without having to self—isolate afterwards. the government was facing legal action over the issue after the charity, john s campaign, which pushes for better visiting rights, argued that care home residents were being discriminated against. our health correspondent, jim reed reports. john kemp's mother sheila has lived in a care home in eastbourne for the last two years. the 92—year—old has seen her family recently, but sitting two metres apart, wearing ppe. from tuesday, they can walk together on the seafront again. with mother it makes it she can actually go out, get into the fresh air, be able to go on the seafront, see people, have a cup of coffee, a cup of tea somewhere. 0bviously spending quality time rather than time with ppe in between us, and again just spending time together and reflecting on the past and the future as well.

it's exactly three months since all care home residents should have been offered a first dose of the covid vaccine in england. with infections now down to levels seen last summer, the government says it's time to relax the strict rules around trips outside the home. the majority of care home residents not only have had their first dose, but also their second dose, so we can take these sort of cautious steps forward, and, as i say, another step back towards normal. we look forward to being able to do more opening up in the weeks ahead. from tuesday, residents who leave a care home in england will no longer have to self—isolate for 14 days on their return. they can visit a relative's garden, a park, or another outdoor space, and they will be able to go inside to vote. but if they leave they'll still have to be accompanied by a visitor or care worker and those who leave for a medical appointment will still have to self—isolate. the change comes after a legal challenge from campaigners

who called the existing restrictions barbaric. they welcomed the move but said it's come far too late. i think this guidance was always so bizarre, so cruel and so discriminatory. i mean, it was illegally imprisoning people in care homes. it was depriving them of their liberty, it was doing incalculable harms. residents of scottish and welsh care homes are already able to meet outside without needing to self—isolate. while in northern ireland, outdoor visiting is allowed in homes that do not have a covid outbreak. jim reed, bbc news. one of the world's most famous buildings, the empire state in new york, is marking its 90th birthday. celebrations at the tower will include a special light show and the number 90 illuminated on its famous mast, that king kong clinged to in the famous final scene from the film. when it opened on the first of may 1931 it was the tallest building in the world. since then it's become one of new york's must—see attractions

that welcomed more than 4 million visitors a year before the pandemic. i'm joined now byjohn tauranac, who is the author of the empire state building: the making of a landmark. john, thanks so much for being with us. it might not be the tallest building in the world but it is still very meaningful. certainly, the empire _ still very meaningful. certainly, the empire state _ still very meaningful. certainly, the empire state building - still very meaningful. certainly, the empire state building as . still very meaningful. certainly, the empire state building as far still very meaningful. certainly, i the empire state building as far as i'm concerned is the icon of new york— i'm concerned is the icon of new york city — i'm concerned is the icon of new york city. even to the point where new york — york city. even to the point where new york state used to have images of the _ new york state used to have images of the empire state building on automobile license plates. that is how meaningful it is to new yorkers. and it _ how meaningful it is to new yorkers. and it meant a lot to the people who built it, because i suppose 1931 you're talking about a year of great depression and very fewjobs. the

on the radar picture here. they are beginning to fade out of the way, but the whole reason we have seen a raft of showers during the day today is that over the last couple of days, we've had a lump of cold air move southwards across the uk. 0nce that's in place, it gets heated by the strong may sunshine, causes the air to rise and causes those showers to form and they are back again for sunday. 0vernight tonight, most of the showers will tend to fade away, but there could be one or two left over in scotland and one or two around our coastal fringes where temperatures are kept a little higher. but for most, skies will clear it will become dry and it will become cold again. temperatures getting below freezing fairly widely, and the lowest about —2 or —3 or so. cold start to the day on sunday, but for most it will be a fine morning with lots of sunshine, unbroken to start with for many of you, but then the clouds develop. initially across the north and west of the uk, and showers later extend eastwards. and by the afternoon some of the heaviest, i think, will be more across eastern scotland, the midlands and eastern areas of england with some hail and thunder mixed in with those downpours again.

temperatures a bit disappointing at 11—14, and talking a disappointing weather, here's bank holiday for you. an area of low pressure will bring a good dollop of rain, and heavy rain at that, something we've not really seen much of in the last month or so, but here it comes just in time for your day off work perhaps. a wet one. cold and windy as well. gusts of wind reaching near gale—force at times across the country. but as well cold enough for a bit of snow to be mixed in over the highest ground in scotland and northern england, so that's something to watche out for. those of temperatures at 7—8 degrees in scotland and nine in northern ireland, just running into double figures for england and wales, but not warm anywhere. that clears away, looks pretty showery after that really. perhaps with other weather systems approaching from the south.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines — a change in guidance on care homes — from tuesday, residents in england will be able to visit relatives without having to self—isolate when they return. india becomes the first country to record 400,000 coronavirus infections in a single day. five people are arrested on suspicion of terror offences, including a 16—year—old boy, as police target three locations across the uk. and there's a warning that most of the uk's summer music festivals could be called off because they can't get covid cancellation insurance. now on bbc news, our world.

in bosnia herzegovina, the health care system only allows
