plan to pay for this massive spending package. and pressure is growing to return are taken from africa the bin bronzes been on display in european museums for more than a century now critics say it's time they were sent home. and get out of as welcome to the program india has expanded its vaccination drive to include everyone over the age of 45 health workers have given out 64000000 doses so far but that covers only a small proportion of the huge population a surge in new infections is raising questions about why india is lagging did have used emissions as well explains. that this electrical supply shop in delhi once took up all of that time. now he spends some of it on the wall until

book helping those affected by the pandemic while his neighbors shrink away from corporate 19 cases. always keeps a protective gear handy in his car in case a patient needs to be rushed to the hospital. he believes his destiny is in god's hands and his fear of the coronavirus shouldn't keep him from helping those in need but so far his fear of infection has not managed to overcome his doubts about the vaccine or i've seen this is real people have been vaccinated you're going through the really quick. that's really important they were not. actually there might have called. it a positive person but then the exhibition than corporate traditions drink over the 1st 2 no i don't know is a very good vaccine development typically takes us. and he does not feel

comfortable getting the vaccine them just pushed out so quickly he believes many others in india also prefer to be eaten more. and the low turnouts and lack of long queues attacks in mission centers seem to be proving him. india is lagging behind its back solution targets which could be riots the country has now made the vaccine available to everyone above the age of 45 another reason could be to count all vaccine beast in a meeting with state leaders to india's prime minister marines or more the emphasize the need to stop the release of vaccine doses. we must take the proper. very serious. everybody seen basted it's also a waste of someone's right to vaccination we cannot destroy someone's rights. to produce the high rates of vaccines being wasted part of the problem lies in the parish ability of the vaccines each vaccine vial has endorses and once opened they

must be used up within 4 hours if 10 people do not show up within that period. the meaning doses must be discarded. on. vaccination centers like this one c. there are simple bees to counter based we only open the bio when we have 10 people waiting to be vaccinated as some people call difference so we call those who are disturbed but couldn't get a vaccine that's how we would make sure we have enough. people under $45.00 are not officially eligible for inoculation opinions are divided on whether they would take the job then that on campus. people might each can't keep waiting for the vaccine we can also get covered we should all get vaccinated as soon as possible but. we are young and i'm going 5. so there's no need for over. once

my is comes into that. they are different and we're going in. for now the government is hoping for a big surge in the number of vaccinations and has put its exports on hold a stop raise indeed infections me just cause a shift in india's vaccine. father report joins us now from delhi. does india even have enough doses to ramp up vaccinations even more. the indian government has repeatedly emphasized that they have not it was this completely vaccinate each individual who is eligible and at this point it is everyone about the age of $45.00 in india and then maybe he didn't do the scheme by the fact that india has its exports as well as donations all the orcs lot astra zeneca vaccine on board and this is

a vaccine which can get as ordered be exported or don't you did millions of dollars is all and this is why the clean then they must put this export import duty to meet sure that enough indians get not needed a week to today all of jaideep there have been some reports coming in that there has been slightly better done out of mouth people about 45 an addition to the drain for those that got rid has accepted all public and private vaccinations and just must really hope were not all of these true events and all to it is including fun it is. what has led to the recent increasing cases in seeing at the moment but i have had all of the usual suspects are not taking enough because there are gathering around which strictures traveling more as there is a little village over all and all of these things don't count go to all the discussions apart but all of this was also true in stamp duty and the average cost

in factory was on target cows and bloody yesterday and yes it was 70000 cases so some amount of children that have come up by john dispersed is that the decent could have something to do with it that fast spreading good that happened found plenty of 700 happen detected in india but perhaps it is an undetected spread which is causing this stops where you cannot. also seems to have international implications tell us about that mr. well the saltwater hurdle did not steal my india it's almost as you would expect. it launched program was back. in a friendship and within it tens of tens of millions all do this or didn't do what he did by the country however the fact that all that nobody wanted is having an international impact and it's already been consumers actually on constant collaboration for some blind loses i just call that put example enabling me but i

started acting in general even when we do need to do what is right and you know it went on to order 2000000 more but even that gosh we're not so they're not evil and you. do it was an out of the vaccination trade lives on there not sure when did we get the 2nd or so it seems this loon to use up once in get surges under control and that commission drags up. the research as well in delhi thank you misha. it's to france now which will close down schools for 3 weeks to fight a rapid spread and coronavirus cases president. without action the authorities risk losing control of the national assembly voted to approve new measures to combat the virus these include a nationwide curfew other one month ban on domestic travel when the opposition lawmakers have criticised the government for waiting on till the situation

deteriorated before taking action meanwhile the virus continues to tighten its grip on france with almost 60000 new cases reported in the past day. intensive care units in hospitals all over france are running out of free beds at this medical center an hour north of paris there i.c.u. is full and they've been forced to add temporary beds to cope. feel this wave hitting us hard and we're hanging on people need to be they should not gather we had a mother and her son die at the same time in 2 different intensive care rooms all because of a family gathering it's unbearable for us it's a very difficult situation to manage. spring weather has drawn people on to the streets despite the dramatic surge in 1000 cases images like the medical

experts to demand stricter measures and the government responded schools are nonessential shops will close and domestic travel is banned. present pleaded for cooperation. in the coming months each one of us must make an extra effort this is what i ask of us collectively this evening. mccraw also promised to increase the number of i.c.u. beds from the current 7000 to more than 10000 and to speed up the sluggish vaccination program across the country unlike his european neighbors mccrone didn't tighten restrictions when numbers dramatically increased in january. i think it's a good idea because something has to be done. because the situation in the hospitals

. is very concerning specially doctors so i think he had to do something. probably maybe not enough because people. out during the day. these measures should have been taken in january when it wasn't as sunny as now they should have anticipated this. this wouldn't be effective at all especially as the french are sick of all these contradictory measures regarding how far away from your home you're allowed to be or if you need a document or not. it's not the only part of the business you want to do well. the latest lockdown will be in place for at least a month mccraw hopes to reopen some cultural venues even restaurants and cafes by mid may. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today a court in hong kong has convicted 7 leading activists and politicians for taking

part in anti-government protests they include veteran pro-democracy politician martin lee and media tycoon jimmy lai they face up to 5 years in prison for the verdict is another blow to the flagging democracy movement. pope francis has begun celebrating the christian holy week of easter he's led a ma since and peter's cathedral in rome the traditional football shing ceremony has been canceled other events over the weekend will be restricted. for people including a child have been killed in a shooting at an office building in orange county california 2 others including the suspect were wounded it's the 3rd deadly mass shooting in the united states in the last 2 weeks. in myanmar deposed leader aung san suu kyi she has been charged with violating a colonial era secrets law the u.n.

special envoy has more of a possible civil war in the country as clashes between the army and pro-democracy activists intensified crowds have gathered every day since the army seized power 2 months ago security forces have killed more than 500 government opponents thousands more have fled to neighboring thailand. and more we're now joined by journalist dave from kuala lumpur malaysia dave us on sochi 3 of her deposed cabinet members as well as an australian advisor all charged with violating the official secrets law what do you make of that. yes so them as well as long as i'm 62 well this is the colonial era law and the way these chloe era laws and miasma are 30 written away that are so broad and it's so vague that you can twist and turn them to make just about anything a file ation and that's you know we don't know the specifics of what she allegedly didn't hear that would lead to these charges or same goes for all of them but they

can these clinton era laws are in to make it easy to make almost anything a violation and look she was charged a week ago according to her chief lawyer and her chief lawyer just found out about it 2 days ago so it just shows you how ridiculous the system isn't am on the m.r. does not have an independent judiciary so the military in the end can bend and twist things to get the result that they want. a u.n. envoy has warned that may be on the brink of a civil war is that serious. when you look at how the situation has deteriorated during the past few weeks the massive uptick in violence the security forces attacks largely on an armed civilians. now we may see more on death and groups potentially getting involved in the fight and different fronts the fact that students and office workers from the main cities have been going to the jungles to get a sense a crash courses in guerrilla warfare all of this just shows you that this really

does have the potential to turn into a full blown civil war how quickly we get there is a little difficult to say but as this develops we could something be looking at suit shortages. the public health care system in myanmar which even before the pandemic was greatly under resourced well now it's barely functioning that could get much worse. this could absolutely turn into a complete humanitarian disaster and myanmar countries who just a couple years ago people were talking about the potential for well now we have to wonder if it's going to turn into a failed state before it does what would it take at this point to resolve this crisis is there any chance for talks a dialogue. there's still time but the countries that haven't you know.
