before seeking. answers. because no one should just. make up your own mind. w. 4 minds. you're watching news asia coming up today the tremendous challenge of vaccinating as many people as possible in a country the size of india has a tense scene means many clinics are left with empty appointments we take a closer look at why people are skeptical and what that means for the country's battle. plus taking on tesla meet the south korean scientists who says he must shoot the world's 1st driving car by decades why then did it not hit the road .

i'm melissa chana thank you for joining us india has expanded its covert 1000 vaccination drive to include everyone over the age of 45 that's in part because not enough people are showing up to get their jabs they're skeptical and wary and other words they have vaccine hesitancy and for a country of 1300000000 the fact just one percent of the population has been fully vaccinated means it could be a long time before the coronavirus is under control their. wall has more. run vista electrical supply shop in delhi once took up all of the time. now he spends some of it on the wall and do a book helping those affected by the fact that rick writes me bush drink away from corporate 19 cases. i've 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 quran or virus 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 have simply see the real people who have been virtually after going through the required. that's really important they were not. actually there march of course. person but then the next mission corporate citizen is green why were the 1st to know i do know is aware the vaccine development typically takes us. and he does not feel comfortable getting a vaccine that is michelle for treatment he believes many others in india also prefer to beat and watch. 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 based in a meeting with state leaders india's prime minister narendra modi emphasized the need to stop the release of vaccine doses. we must take the problem of lack seem very serious. every back seem 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 tended. and once opened they must be used up within 4 hours if 10 people do not show up within that period.

the remaining doses must be started. on. vaccinations centers like this one c. there are simple bees to counter based we only open the bible when we have 10 people waiting to be vaccinated some people call different so we call those who are disturbed but couldn't get a vaccine that we would make sure we have enough. people under $45.00 and not officially eligible for inoculation opinions are divided. on whether they would take the job then that the income. people might each can't keep waiting for the vaccine we can also get covered we should all get vaccinated as soon as possible by a moment of it though we are young they don't care and i'm going 5 i'm fit so there's no uneven we got over. that one so is comes into that the. there are different every going and has read 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 in daily infections me just cause a shift and go in india's vaccine. joining us is just t. joshi from the center for disease dynamics economics and policy in delhi as a report shows there's a growing hesitancy to decode vaccines in india and i'm wondering is the government at the federal and state levels doing enough public campaigning to encourage people to get vaccinated hi thank you for that question that feels good to be 50 isn't is definitely a problem but more so in the opening as older only media i think it is the lack of bad news about the back seat and the benefits that it gets is the key issue so the government is. communication can be that has to be beat you know beaten you see if my media like it was done for social distancing and that would be helpful as vaccine coverage has been expanded to those over 45 years of age now. this is

fast becoming a problem in many countries and i'm curious do people have preference over a one vaccine over another in india. well again you know vaccine the badness is more so in albany now and any information or transparency on the data for the vaccine is that he had for it so the least a doubt one of the vaccine has been you know i've given x. but i did a little emergency all today the nation so you know that they go on the old axiom if it is released and it is good data coming out now will help to build a vaccine confidence so all that although availability of the vaccine is limited in the country and as these data become available the vaccine confidence of the community on these 1000000 crean's and i'm sure more and more people become forward to take a back seat. to give us the latest on the pandemic their cases are going up our the

hospitals coping. when any band to make you know is known to have more than a single wave and the subsequent waves their effect depends on the changes in the vaccine that we had in that coming as well as you know logically strained off the coast population the addition of the vaccine to those who are response has definitely been split but with the social cultural practices you are in this change of season you know that is warning demeaning and the behavior for eat that said india are seeing the rise and unfortunately the vaccines all thought has been available only to those with comorbidities dated march up to 45 years of age as the backing got it expanded the age group that actually in domingo's and leads to transmission of the virus will probably be covered and this how this week should come down but otoh there are hospitals all over the country are seeing a surge and that's something the government all over the country in different

states is you're not full i want to pivot to talking about vaccine manufacturing india is one of the world's powerhouses despite some vaccine has a 10 c. that we've talked about are we also hearing calls for some taxi nationalism and for the country to try to many satcher more for its own citizens. i think i should not be the case that we should be discussing this question because india has donated almost extinct $5000000.00 it's still the go back to the city now with gays is speaking up in the country it's also do you know provided do a logical work off the population because in a globalised won't india as an emerging economy and as a supplier and user of the human capital that it has if it if it gets its population and addresses go to now 'd why this pandemic in the country to do so i think we have so far with the kind of limitation on that nation through why did

what what is best possible to the world and that's sure to start soon as vaccines applies many vaccines that life i develop going to the manufacturers some of them are needed from the u.s. and the country that i'm set its production capacity to supply not just the country itself but also the global member states off the wound just t.j. oshie thank you so much for joining us thank you gauge or to be. a fully self driving car is still a dream for carmakers and consumers alike tech giants are spending billions of dollars to be the 1st to bring out a commercially viable one last year tesla said it was coming close but now a south korean scientist has said that he invented the 1st autonomous vehicle back in the 1990 s. almost 3 decades later old footage of the road tests has emerged on you tube and it's gone viral. the driver of this vehicle

isn't even in it professor 100 min hong showcased his new invention at de john expo 1993 that's a decade before the lord musk founded tesla. 2 years later a car using hands technology barreled 300 kilometers down one of south korea's busiest highways its triumphant inventor in the back since february this year one and a half 1000000 people have watched the footage on you tube han now 79 says development was hard work but it was worth it. my students and i had enormous passion as it was something no one else had done yet something that hadn't come out in the world. apart and was so convinced of his car safety that he didn't take out life insurance or even wear a seat belt but the professor was

a genius ahead of his time in the 1990 s. south korea was not yet a tech powerhouse it was less interested in innovation the government wasn't convinced of the cost potential and it withdrew funding for his research. fast forward and today ilan muffs electric car is worth over $500000000000.00. while 100 velux fear call warning systems that is to person firmly as sole the professor isn't bitter. in fact he has enormous admiration for musk's vision but he thinks his own 1990 s. technology is comparable to what tesla is doing today of course it responds create to create the future. of course tesla invested a lot of money in testing so it might be much better when it comes to sophistication but there shouldn't be much difference when it comes down to basic

functionality. you know as a tesla is regarded as the best car in the world if possible i'd like to compare our technology today as well so his challenge the company to a jew on the roads one of his 990 s. vehicles against the tesla prototype in real world conditions despite his admiration for today's car tech giants professor hanneman hong admits he does regret one thing though with enough investment his invention could have paved the way for south korea to dominate the autonomous car industry. that's it for today we leave you with pictures from japan where the cherry blossoms have earlier than usual this year thank you for watching have a good weekend and good bye.

a year of breakthroughs for the singing despite the coronavirus. and look. 7 i think everyone in the last year and everything has been like somewhere in suspense and i just enjoy what i'm doing really and i think the. the sort of stardom thing is never like the thing at the end of it that i'm like looking to see what that point looks like or feels like and i guess some people it may seem like in the waiting room i don't really feel like that because i'm still you know chipping away every day or doing something and i feel like in my stride of things.

in songs like strange. it's almost like. a song becomes like the map of my understanding of like myself and how i see the world and how i see my relationships with other people and. i used to write diaries and then i used to write poems and so at the age where i really needed. it could have been anything really it's just music became the thing that presented itself so fluent to me. california parents. british mother. she grew up here in

be yourself that's the message of celeste debut album not. since a sudden rise to stardom comparisons to amy winehouse adele and aretha franklin have been avoidable. now. i guess something that comes with that is then sort of like a heightened level of expectation for where you should be it's kind of just up to you to kind of set that aside and make your own way and kind of show people like why you are different.
