the u.s. will restrict travel from india in the coming days, in response to a ferocious second wave of covid infections there. also ahead, israel reckons with an unthinkable tragedy while investigators work to find out what caused a crush that killed dozens of people. we'll have details from jerusalem this hour. and scenes not seen in quite some time. thousands party in a rave in the u.k. as part of a test of how things can reopen safely. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom. during the past year of the pandemic, just about every part of the planet has emerged as the

hot spot at one time or another. but we've never seen anything like what's happening right now in india. it's a covid crisis that's impossible to overstate. in just one day, inda has added more than 400,000 confirmed cases of covid-19. we've never seen that rate of infection anywhere before, and it's getting worse by the day. the u.s. and dozens of other countries are rushing tons of desperately-needed medical supplies into india's airports, and at the same time, many of those same countries are imposing new restrictions on most travelers from india. now, today was supposed to be the start of a huge nationwide campaign to vaccinate everyone ages 18 and older. it should have been relatively easy. after all, india is the world's biggest maker of vaccines. but 98% of its population can't find a dose. it's all been exported. the real agony on the ground can be summed up in one word. oxygen.

here's cnn's sam kiley in delhi. >> reporter: a sensor reveals dangerously low levels of oxygen, stifled by covid-19, this canister of gas buys this patient time. all of these patients arrive barely able to breathe. this isn't a medical clinic. it's a tent on the outskirts of india's capital run by volunteers. without the initiative being shown by these volunteers from the foundation, providing oxygen on the street, on the outskirts of delhi, they say many dozens, perhaps over 100 patients, would be in deep trouble medically now. they already had one death, just over there earlier on today. they treated over people who are coming desperate for oxygen unable it breathe and it's all about this, the supply of these oxygen cylinders. it's a 300-mile drive each way

to get one of these filled and brought back to delhi. >> they cost about $25 when filled. >> how easy has it been to found oxygen. >> oh, my god, trust me, this is very difficult. >> reporter: with covid-19 infections and numbers of deaths breaking records daily in india, many patients in delhi have given up on hospital treatment, where they know that oxygen is scarce. and beds often shared. this man says he was turned away by three hospitals. he took off his oxygen mask demanding to be heard. >> they are just not entertaining anything, and they're just refusing all things. i cannot tell whom i can believe. it is both government and the hospitals also. >> reporter: bottled oxygen is mostly produced outside delhi, neighboring states are prioritizing their own needs. and so the city gasps.

and many die. unrecorded. in their homes. this man collects the bodies of patients who die at home. he'll pick up three in this one-hour run. many are even afraid to take their dying loved ones to hospital. this man's family decided to keep his grandmother at home. >> we got scared. there's a nearby hospital but who's going to give us the information, exactly the information? >> inda's government has promised a vaccination campaign with renewed vigor, but with around only 2% of the nation inoculated so far, that's cold

comfort here. sam kiley, cnn, delhi. cnn's report ser living in the midst of this crisis, and joins us from delhi, with the crisis getting worse and vaccines critical and how has the govereacted to, how has the government reacted to this and. >> >> reporter: weave area living it here in deli and people are living it across india, and there is no reliance on the government right now. the government is busy getting their act together and we're so glad in a way that there is oxygen supplies coming in from other countries at this point in time because that is what they need, along with a lot of medical equipment. now this is the second time i'm

talking to you here, and another ambulance came by so you can imagine what i'm talking about when i say every 20 to 25 minutes we're hearing the ambulances going by. coming back to your point, it is just that silver lining right now. community helping each other. we have people lining um,p, and trying to provide oxygen 24/7. people are trying to come together and i speak from personal experience right now, in my condo, there's 70 people who are actually down with covid-19. we've lost one person to the battle as well. and at this point in time, my people are coming together, trying to offer them small medical room in this community we live in, in the residential community to make sure we can provide immediate oxygen, we can provide immediate medical help because we know beds are not available in hospitals. this is a war, kim. let me put it to you straight like that.

in a war, you know who the enemy is. in this case, this enemy is invisible. it's lurking behind doors. we aren't even safe in our homes right now. people sitting at home trying to stay away from walking out even to get groceries are catching this infection. it is that strong. it is that deadly. young people are dying from it. and if it wasn't for these people who have been working 24/7 through social media, we would have more deaths today, to be honest. you have to be go through social media right now. facebook, twitter, or any other stream. people are reaching out, can you help me, my mother needs a bed, i need an oxygen cylinder, can you come by and drop it off, and so many responses, people are sharing it, retweeting it and that's how someone gets help, a mother, brother, sister, anyone breathe can for an hour or two, to get more people coming to help them with cylinders. . that's the situation on the

ground. people are fending for themselves right now. there is no hope otherwise. you can see how this stands out over days. you're talking 400,000 cases today. this figure is going to go up really. it's not going to come down in the coming days is what medical experts say. it's going to get really bad. and if this isn't bad, imagine what it is going to be in the coming days because these numbers are just spiking by the day. the deaths are spiking by the day. i'm not sure if people are even recording the deaths taking place at homes. and that's what people are dying of covid-19 as well. you have others who come out and say, we're learning, this is the second phase, this is the second wave, we're learning right now. you've seen the u.k. suffer. you've seen the u.s. suffer. a lot of people ask, what are you waiting for? the second wave had to hit? and now when you talk about the wave, and the u.k. wondering, you know, it's like an experiment? learn from india. why do you even have to experiment with something like that in the u.k.? learn from us. we've had the biggest festival take place, and thousands were

there, and people have died. do you need an example? just look here. look at india. and you'll get it here. >> well, you paint a real picture of devastation and desperation there, thank you, reporting from delhi, stay safe, your crew stay safe, thank you so much. >> thank you. new u.s. restrictions on travelers from india will begin within days. officials say the surge in case numbers were just part of the reason the biden administration decided it had to take action. kaitlan collins explains. >> reporter: as we are seeing these rising cases in india, the white house is now saying that starting on tuesday, may 4th, at 12:01 a.m., they are going to restrict travel from india to the u.s., to deal with not only the rising cases but also concerns that they say federal officials, federal health officials i sh say have over the variants that are present in india. they say there are multiples at least. and until they know just how powerful they are against the vaccine, they are going to

restrict travel from india, to the u.s., for now. now, it's not clear how long had is going to last but what we do know is that it doesn't apply to u.s. citizens. so if you're a u.s. citizen, you can still come in and out of the country, you will have to take a negative covid test, before getting on that plane and quarantine, when you arrive, if you've not gotten the covid-19 vaccine. but this also didn't apply to humanitarian workers. that's been a big subject of conversation, as the white house has been sending ppe, oxygen, other testing supplies, to india, to help them deal with the rising case numbers there. but other than that, if you are a non-u.s. citizen and you have been in india in the last 14 days, a similar time frame to those other travel restrictions in place around the world, you will not be permitted into the united states, starting on tuesday. this is a call that the white house has been facing for several days. from many people. saying that this is something that should have already been in effect. but i was told that the white house had been discussing it. they wanted to make sure they were pursuing the right option here am and they also didn't

want to cause a panic by putting this travel restriction in place immediately and then having a scene play out where there's mass chaos in airports like what we saw last year when some of these travel bans first went into effect. so this is it for now. it does start on tuesday. we do expect president biden to address it before then. kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house. the u.s. isn't the only country imposing restrictions. australia says it will jail anyone entering from india, including its own citizens. starting monday, anyone who's been in india during the past 14 days will be shut out of the country, violators face up to five years in prison under australiaa's bio security act and civil fines. australia's treasurer says the restrictions be reviewed in two weeks. and investigation is under way in what triggered a deadly stampede at a religious festival in northern israel. the country is grieving as families begin laying their

loved ones to rest. the prime minister has declared sunday a national day of mourning. these were some of the scenes showing the moments the joyous celebration turned to chaos. 45 people were crushed to death. and some 150 others were injured. we've learned at least five u.s. citizens are among the dead. cnn's hadas gold has been reporting on this tragedy from mount moren and joins us now since then and what more have we learned since yesterday's horrible tragedy? >> reporter: kim, now shock has turned to anger here as people start questioning how this happened, how so many people, tens of thousands were allowed to cram on to this mountain, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, as it is still happening. how they were up there, and how the infrastructure was set up in a way that potentially allowed this to happen, because critics have said, that for years now, there have been warnings that something like this could happen, that something that was so joyous could turn so tragic.

>> a crumpled pair of glasses. water bottles flattened and scattered on the ground. these are the trampled remnants of a festival in israel where dozens of people were crushed to death in a stampede, according to the israeli health ministry. tens of thousands of trawl orthodox jews gathered for the religious bonfire festival. the witnesses say the night quickly turned into a tragedy. when packed crowds crammed into a narrow passageway. >> i was there exactly when it happened. down there on the side. it started when a few paramediced started to run and then there was some kind of mess, police screaming, a big mess and after a half an hour, it looked like the scene of a suicide bombing attack. >> reporter: what happened? around 1:00 a.m., while tens of thousands of worshippers were here celebrating the holiday, crowds of people were trying to

exit and enter along this ramp right here and they started slipping and sliding all over each other and it turned into a tangle of bodies. officials say some people were asphyxiated. others were crushed. >> most parts of my body got pinned down under several people except my head and chest so i could still breathe. i think it's a miracle that i survived. >> funerals began friday afternoon for the victims. some of woman were children. israeli media says bonfire areas were cordoned off and the covid precaution, and this may have created bottlenecks in the walkways. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says it's one of the worst disasters in israeli history. >> translator: we will carry out a comprehensive serious, detailed investigation to ensure this kind of disaster never happens again. >> reporter: the prime minister also saying this sunday will be a national day of mourning. kim, the former head of the local regional council here, was telling israeli media, that when he was in charge, every year, he

was almost expecting something like this to happen, and said the writing was on the wall, and that every year, when he was in charge, that something did not happen, he breathed a sigh of relief. so now, there are many questions here about if people knew, if people were worried that something like this could happen, why was nothing done before? why was nothing changed? and the attorney general is launching an investigation and the police commander for the northern region has taken responsibility but there will be lots of questions if the festival happens again in the same way next year, what will be different about it to prevent such a tragedy from happening again. kim? >> why indeed, that is the question. thank you so much, hadas gold, from mount meron, israel. new details, and new denials about what is behind the fbi raid on rudy giuliani. we'll bring you what we're learning about the investigation into the former president's one-time lawyer. plus, the current president puts a personal touch on his infrastructure push. we will hear about joe biden's appeal to the improvements to the amtrak rail system. stay with us.

personal lawyer. one trump adviser says it has ignited a sense of fear about what else could be coming for those linked with trump. this, as the investigation into giuliani for his activities in ukraine is beginning to come into focus. jessica schneider has more on what we're learning. >> reporter: new details about the investigation into rudy giuliani. and what exactly investigators are searching for. "the new york times" now reports at least one of the search warrants served wednesday sought information related to the former ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch. the same marie yovanovitch president trump fired in 2019 and who testified as a witness in his first impeachment trial. >> our ukraine policy has been thrown into disarray and shady interests the world over have learned how little it takes to remove an american ambassador who does not give them what they want. >> reporter: investigators wants to determine for

ukraine, while also -- >> reporter: federal agents served a search warrant on his apartment and office wednesday seizing several electronic devices. >> about 6:00 in the morning, there was a big bang, bang, bang on the door. and outside were seven fbi agents with a warrant for electronics. >> reporter: giuliani insists he has never acted as a foreign agent. >> i can't believe that these people would actually think i would do something like this, but obviously, the assistant u.s. attorneys hate me. and they hate trump, which is probably the whole thing. i mean to believe that i'm some kind of russian agent? >> reporter: giuliani's lawyers also strenuously denying a report from the "washington post," that the fbi warned

giuliani and other republican officials in 2019 that the russians were feeding them falsehoods, specifically that a russian influence operation was intent on sending out disinformation, damaging to then presidential candidate joe biden. cnn has not confirmed the report. he never received any such breathing giuliani's attorneys told cnn. giuliani was a prominent figure on the 2020 campaign trail for trump and repeatedly floated false information about the biden's ties to ukraine. >> the amount of crimes that democrats committed in ukraine are astounding and when you say investigate hunter biden, joe biden was the guy who did the bribe. and joe biden was the guy who took the bribe in order to protect burisma. >> and really was repeatedly asked if this criminal probe could be more of just a possible violation of the foreign agents registration act but he says he has not been told anything about the investigation by the feds.

meanwhile federal officials are anticipating a long legal fight over what's contained in the electronic devices. with giuliani's legal team likely arguing that much of it is subject to attorney-client privilege. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. it's possible that joe biden is amtrak's most well-known customer so it should come as no surprise that the u.s. president is putting the train system front and center in the pitch to improve the nation's infrastructure. he appeared at the philadelphia rail yard to call for billions of dollars to improve the service. >> today, we have a once in a generation opportunity, to position amtrak, and rail, and inner city rail as well, in general, to play a central role in our transformation of transportation economic future. >> efforts to improve am tack are just one part of the president's more than $2 trillion infrastructure proposal. i spoke with leslie of chatham house with all of this earlier and began to asking her, which

is the harder sell, joe biden's jobs plan or his family plan. >> it's a really, it's a very big question, of course both are seeking to be absolutely transformational. i think the question really, the broader question is to what extent there will be debates in congress about different elements of those plan, because of course one of the things that joe biden wants to do in addition to harnessing this crisis, is really transform america's political economy, is also to build bridges. and in order to build those bridge, you know, ideally, we pass both of these bills through congress with bipartisan support, rather than using a budget reconciliation measure. but if he wants to do that, there is going to be a lot of bargaining and horse trading about key elements within the proposals. one concern of course is what exactly counts as infrastructure.

and i think, you know, there is broad bipartisan support for investing in america's railways and its roads an its airports but when you start to talk about things like child care, digital infrastructure, those broader definitions, and what really makes it possible to do, to do work on a daily basis, and to transform an economy, to one that is very digital, that i think gets a lot more complicated. the aggregate amount of spending of course, is going to be deeply contentious, in congress, not the least because the proposal to pay for it is focused very much on raising corporate taxes, raising taxes on the wealthy, raising capital gains taxes, all of those things that are deeply contentious, amongst americans, not only within congress. >> but a lot of those individual planks are very popular with the american populous, which, you know, would have translated into political capital in the before times of traditional politics,

when things were popular with voters, often you could bring enough members of the opposing party around to your cause, and pass it, but do those old formulas count for anything? does it matter how much voters might be behind those individual proposals that biden is trying to pass? >> i think in the medium term, it matters a lot. if we go back to the american rescue plan, of course, it wasn't widely supported in congress. but it was, as we know, widely supported by the american people, and if, it depends what your measure is, if your measure is do you get bipartisan support to get something through congress, then that's going to be difficult, because as you've indicated, that, you know, america is very polarized, that's expressed through divisions, in congress, and in a certain narrative that's currently painting joe biden and the democrats as being socialists and seeking to destroy the fabric of america's individualism, and an incentive-based economy.

but i think if your measure is the mid-term elections, then the key thing is going to be how does this resonate with the american people. and that's a complex question. and again, it's going to, in this next phase, the american rescue plan was one thing, it's temporary, it is temporary, but i think in this next phase of spending, it's going to get more contentious, in part because people are feeling better, they're back on the streets, the economy is opening up and they will begin to query specific spending items. and they will certainly be concerned about the question of tax increases. >> thanks to leslie for the analysis there. the tragedy unfolding in india has shocked the world. coming up, i'll talk it a scientist there about what went so terribly wrong in a country that thought it had the pandemic under control. that's ahead. stay with us. you can't plan for your period's... what the gush moments. but the right pad can. only always ultra thins have rapiddry technology

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. india has broken another global record for new covid infections saturday, reporting nearly 402,000. experts say the actual number is likely much greater. shortages have already halted vaccine rollouts that were supposed to start today in several indian states. last hour, i spoke with a doctor, a prominent virologist and director of bio sciences at india's ashoka university. i asked him whether he was surprised at the scale of what's unfolding in his country. >> yes, i think most scientists are surprised at the scale of

the surge. we knew that something would come, but in our wildest imagination, we didn't dream it to be such a big surge. so clearly, things have gone wrong. in doing things at the right time. in not being able to contain super spreader events. and of course, the new variants that have emerged in the population. both developed within the country as well as that have come into the country, have now completely taken foot in the community. so it is really multiple factors. but to answer your question, no one in their wildest imagination can we imagine this. >> you said before, everything had opened up, and we thought the virus had gone away. was it that too few people were sounding the alarm bells? or was just no one listening?

>> well, i guess it's a mixture of both. the work that had been done, consistently showed high levels of antibodies, at least in cities, where the population is more dense and the virus moves very quickly. data coming from the countryside had always been sketchy. so i think learning something based on the science that is available was obviously not up to the mark. and we just couldn't predict this kind of surge, simply because our information is based on available data and available trends. and i would say a mixture of both. >> so then, trying to get a handle on this, i men no country makes more, i mean no country makes more vaccines than india, and now we're seeing vaccine rollout after vaccine rollout postponed and stalled due to

lack of vaccines. how is this happening? >> well, india actually started vaccinating at the right time, and with the right attitude. a pandemic vaccine is supposed to do three things. one is to protect health care workers and front line workers who are there to save lives. the second is to reduce mortality. so those who are in the highest mortality bracket. and the third is the pandemic. and when india started vaccinating in mid january, the rollout was going to be, and has given front line workers and then to people over 60, people between 45 and 60, who had co-morbidities. so the plan was just right. and there was sufficient vaccine available at that time. there was some amount of hesitancy because of the response narrative that the epidemic is over for us. and also right around that time, we had the scale of blood clots

coming from the european countries. so a mix of that didn't really allow our vaccine program to really go up to scale. >> as the crisis continues, there are many ways you can help people in india cope with this devastating covid outbreak. you can go to cnn.com/impact to find out how. brazil has become the second country in the world to report more than 400,000 deaths. the u.s. being the other. now, brazil's health minister is asking for assistance. >> reporter: a call for help. on friday, a brazilian health minister urged other countries across the world, with extra vaccine doses, such as the united states, to share them with brazil, as the south american giant tries dramatically to curb the spread of yet another covid-19 wave that is wreaking havoc across south america.

this week, the second country on earth to formally cross the threshold of over 400,000 victims of the virus. one in every 526 brazilians died since the beginning of the pandemic and a situation from argentina, to columbia, to peru, to uruguay, all reporting record increases in new cases and deaths this past week can as the new wave is really devastating the region. some hope perhaps at the end of the tunnel could come when yet again, from the vaccine. this week, brazil received the first shipment of the pfizer biontech laboratory, with over one million doses of the vaccine that will help health officials firm up the virus. and here in columbia, starting next week, citizens age 60 years old or older will be finally able to receive the precious jab. for cnn, bogota. the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention is

reporting positive news. the spread of covid is slowing down, as the u.s. vaccination rate is up, and that's despite vaccine hesitancy. the cnn nick watt reports, more and more of the economy is swinging open. >> we reached a major milestone on the number of americans who are fully vaccinated. 100 million americans are fully vaccinated. >> reporter: that's about 30% of the population. >> the people are getting vaccinated, and fighting back covid, and it's working and they're ready for a comeback. i got to tell you, i think the daily news has it right, here, this is going to be the summer of new york city. july 1, everything opens. in nyc. may 1, no more outdoor restrictions in connecticut. in new orleans, now. stores and restaurants are open 100%. nationwide, many lives are still being lost, but the average daily death toll the lowest it

has been for more than nine months. >> i think that covid is not going to go completely away, but i am overall quite optimistic for our health care system and our country as a whole. >> vaccinating hesitant and hard to reach, this bar in milwaukee now hosts a pop-up clinic. >> vaccine hesitancy right now, it might be easier for people. >> emergency use authorization for the pfizer vaccine in younger teens could come soon. so what about schools? come the fall? >> based on science and cdc, they should probably all be open. >> cruises could be back mid july, says the cdc in a letter obtained by "usa today" with safety measures. delta will start filling those middle seats again. and there will be up to 50,000 fans at the kentucky derby. actual fans. >> people are really pumped up about getting back a little bit back it normal, i always thought of the kentucky derby as the world's biggest fashion show and

certainly the rites of spring for all of america. >> there will be hats and also still masks. >> i think people will be very diligent as well in wearing masks. otherwise, they may be escorted out. >> and here in anaheim, california, disneyland is open again after 13 months. lower capacity. california residents only. but it is open. nick watt, cnn, anaheim. thousands of people in liverpool, england, are partying like it's 2019. all in the name of science. have a look at this here. a large crowd of british music fans gathered for the specially converted warehouse on friday, to dance the night away. and there were no masks, and no social distancing. the goal? to help fiofficials determine h nightclubs and events might

return in the u.k. this summer. let's bring in cyril varnier in london. partying like it's 2019. the perfect line there. it seems like a fascinating, if seemingly risky experiment. so take us through what they're hoping to learn here, and how. >> reporter: sure. well, kim, what the heck is going on is that the government is trying to figure out how to get thousands of people without social distancing, without masks, in indoor settings, and let them have fun, without this becoming a super spreader event. so you've got to figure out the formula to this if you want to allow sports to come back, concerts to come back, et cetera, you name it and all of that is supposed to come back by the way june 21st here in the u.k. so what they did is at this particular event, it was a day rave, several thousand people were allowed in, they had a negative covid test, so it is a group of thousands of covid-free people. you let them have their fun. and five days later, so five days from now, those people are going to be asked to take a

covid test. to see whether there has been any infection. now similar tests have been carried out in other european countries in the netherlands, spain had a very encouraging example of that with a concert, wearing masks but thousands of people and no social distancing. it was a few weeks ago. so now we know that there were actually no, there wasn't a higher level of infection during that event than there is normally in the general population. that particular one in barcelona. so there is reason to be hopeful. but this event in liverpool in the u.k. will also yield encouraging results, kim. >> all right, still hard to watch, even though i know, you know -- >> you will be back in the mosh pit before you know it, kim. >> you and me both, right? cnn's cyril varnier, thanks so much. we'll be right back. in a recent clinical study, patients using salonpas patch reported reductions in pain severity, using less or a lot less oral pain medicines.

it certainly hasn't taken very long. what's happening here? >> well, what we're seeing is an uptick in violence, for instance, the united nations saying that the number of civilian casualties is increased by as much as 30% over the last year, compared to the year

before. we've seen an increase in the number of assassinations of government officials, military officials, and journalists, and civil society activists. this is really what is inevitable at the end of a prolonged foreign occupation, that the various forces that are at play in afghanistan, and will remain so, after the withdrawal by september of this year, of u.s. and other nato forces, is that they are vying for power. they are preparing for the day after. we saw that in iraq, and we're seeing it today in afghanistan. and therefore, it was fairly clear that the united states, going back to the final years of the trump administration, was simply eager to get out, and the important thing for the americans, and for nato, is that they get out without too much

loss of life. so that when it came to the agreement that was concluded between the trump administration and the taliban in february of 2020, was that there are basically two major stipulations, that the taliban not use afghanistan as a base for attacks abroad, and that the taliban sever ties with al qaeda. beyond that, there's only the express desire that the taliban enter into negotiations with the current government in kabul, for the eventual potential formation of a coalition government. but that's not binding. and so the united states and its nato allies want to ensure a smooth withdrawal, and as far as what comes afterwards, kim, it's anybody's guess. >> absolutely. ben wedeman in beirut, thank you so much.
