12:04 am
which is claiming thnousands of lives every day. we know there is a massive under count. today issuing another global record of more than 368,000 daily infections, 3,400 deaths and we know that is a serious undercount. i think you would have to assume that he is looking at the election results overnight. they only won one of the five legislative elections. perhaps it is sinking in. the arrogance of the government thinking they had defeated this back in january and then the second wave came with a vengeance, killing people, it is catching up with the prime minister.
12:05 am
that is all horrifying and india's supreme court is ordering them to show how they are going to curb the spread of covid-19. >> reporter: we have been reporting on the acute shortages of oxygen. we know he met with cabinet ministers to discuss ways of possibly converting nitrogen plants to oxygen plants to get more oxygen to the hospitals. another hospital in the hospital ran out of oxygen and eight people died. they told the central government they have to have buffer stocks of oxygen and told the government they need to rectify theization in delhi. this is the capital of the country and it is running out of oxygen. obviously aid is coming in. oxygen cylinders and concentrators and generators. they are all desperately needed but it is a drop in the ocean
12:06 am

12:08 am
more than 245 million doses of the covid vaccine have been administered across the u.s. it is still leaving about 25% of americans refusing to get the shot. should the cdc be relaxing more restricts? >> you know, i think starting to release restrictions is really helpful as well as the different mechanisms to get the vaccine to people that are hesitant or do not find it as convenient to get down to a mass vaccination site. getting in to doctor's offices and pharmacies and drug stores and the places that people go all of the time. one of my nieces got hers at a
12:09 am
brew pub. getting them into locations where people are will help to reduce the capacity and the barriers that people are having to getting vaccines today. >> of course with all of the excess covid vaccines, is it time for the u.s. to start sending more doses overseas? india is hitting a record 400,000 new cases on saturday. >> there is certainly capacity for things like the astrazeneca vaccine which we have not approved in the u.s. but have some stockpiled. starting to think about how to share that with the rest of the world that does have it approved would be really helpful. it is not only vaccines places like india need. it is oxygen concentrators, ppe. the things that we needed a year ago when we were worried about
12:10 am
getting spikes in cases and talking about flattening the curve. india is there right now and vaccines will not be the only way they get out of the mess they are in at the moment. >> doctor, how concerned are you that the indian covid variant will enter the united states and perhaps infect those americans who have not yet received their vaccine and ultimate increase the chances of the variant becoming too strong for the current covid vaccines? >> it is absolutely a risk. when the virus is circulating anywhere in the globe out of control it means there are lots of copies of the virus being made. the more copies that terror made, the more chances that there are for a vaccine virus variant that could outstrip our vaccine. so we as an entire planet really need to work together to get the viral replication under control
12:11 am
so that we can get this entire pandemic behind us. what are you seeing? how severe are the covid cases now. what are you able to share with us? >> what we are seeing is a little bit scary. we had this april about 500 more people in the hospitals across our footprint than we had last april. on average the agent is about ten years younger. we have so many of the seniors that are vaccinated. about a quarter of them are under 40. what we are seeing is younger, healthier people getting sick

these manchester united football fans are furious at the american ownership of their club, chanting glazers must go in reference to the glazer family that bought the team in 2005. now this was the scene at old tra trafford. fans were upset with ownership and the role in the failed attempt to form a breakaway super league. the match with liverpool was postponed for a later date. let's discuss that with patrick snell. good to see you patrick. fans made it clear. they are angry. they want changes. how did it all play out and where is it all going? the iconic old trafford stadium.
12:55 am
the scenes as the famous venue invaded by fans hours before the fixture between united and liverpool. the two most decorated and most famous clubs in english football. no question about that. as you said, protesters saying we want glazers out as they glanced down at the monitor. looking at the aerial view and the pitch side view as well. protested against the florida-based owners of the club, owners perceived as central to the now failed, ill fated breakaway european super leagues. flairs were thrown, damage to camera equipment, two police officers injured. two teams did not even get to the grounds to play. match delayed and postponed. over 1,000 fans actually gathered at the stadium. around 100 or so. we had other figures concerning how many got on to the pitch.
12:56 am
police say 100 got on to the pitch. another 200 protesting at the hotel. that is where united's team headquarters were before all home games. team leaving the hotel. we have video of the team leaving the hotel. that was several hours later on sunday evening. i want to bring in the former united player, red devils legend, he was at old trafford on sunday. take a listen. >> i don't think they trust the owners of the club. they don't like them. they think they should leave. beyond today the reality is that it should be about reform and regulation and making sure that obviously they can't do it again. protesting is the right of every person in the country to do that. we must retain the element of being able to protest. however, i think that beyond today now i think it is a case of making sure that the fans across the country unite to make sure that there is reform in english football.
12:57 am
if anything it has to be a precursor to that or else there will be a waste of time. >> paraphrasing, united saying they understand the passion of the fans but they do not condone the behavior they saw out there on the pitch. back to you. >> all right. cnn world sports patrick snell. many thanks. thank you for your company. i will be back with more news in just a moment. stay with us. t extra toilet papr was a good idea, but now you've flushed it all. and it's building up in your septic tank. but monthly usage of rid-x is scientifically proven to break down waste. maintain your septic tank with rid-x.
