cases nearly 97000 new infections were reported on tuesday of ringing in monday's record high and many hospitals are now being overrun by patients for example in the west affected state. now india's richest state and host to the commercial caps off mumbai has announced new restrictions including a night curfew. and i'm now joined by the delhi bureau chief cheema good to see you what is driving be current surge of infections hi christine yes it came must want to shock people here because they for the easing they're being under the pandemic and then we have high numbers of illegal and what's driving it it's a very political to energy and defeat is a host of new newton and variations of the virus which is the most which are much more into just multiply much faster and they are transmitting treat times

the rate then the in the 1st wave so that is big one in there and also. just to you know you just people have become complacent and deep thought that the dynamic was behind them that the virus is very very much here and people are. not appropriate measures right and every service comes as oh perhaps has prompted state leaders to call on prime minister narendra modi to open f. that's the nation's to more of the adult population how is that vaccination rollout going on. well this is the world's largest maximization drive as india likes to see them they haven't expanded the vaccination program just last week a lot everybody with the age of 45 to take the jab so ended our lives that it would be open to everyone and that is a possibility that is likely what happened in the future and although you know

india is doing very well when you look in terms of numbers of people vaccinated india's population is fairly modest less than 5 percent of the people in india have received the 1st vaccine and less than one percent have received a 2nd dose of the vaccine so a long road ahead kristie and in the meantime a meter what kind of restrictions are in place to to curb the spread of infections that the measures something that you mentioned in the worst affected state of morass just. by as the commercial capital of the country they have night time go fused they're also implementing containment still can't really be arsed inspections and just as of in the infections they are trying to avoid big super spread events like we saw in the last east religious festival but i have to say and the ultimate responsibility ringback lies with the people of the country they have to follow measures which the government is encouraging to do to follow for example reading

must social distancing washing their hands because if people themselves are mark and it's about following these measures it's a huge challenge for the government right that is daily. thank you amrita and staying in india and employment has hit women the hardest during the pandemic the number of women in the workforce has fallen traumatically compared to men and the situation could worsen further as the country faces a nother spike in covert 1000 cases state having as many to child rape as onyx report. children it through has been out of work for more than a year. the 55 year old domestic worker used to cook at several homes in an upmarket neighborhood but the pandemic prestone her life upside down. the lockdown was really bad for us. we survived on rations that we don't need to honey i asked.

rising it does not look like they will get their. women's participation in the workforce was already declining but the sudden shutdown caused by call that 19 was . india's economy shrank by nearly a quarter in the 1st few months of the pandemic. economists trust says the impact of the downturn has been destroyed fortunate who suffer it's the women they are the more vulnerable in the labor force they're the border educated comparatively they're the poorest. comparatively because i don't think the government has done enough with india traction to provide for jobs both those who who who have jobs they're working less hours so if they're working there thousands are almost inevitable that the men are going to have whatever work there is going to be and not women this is an extra financial burden for on top of caring for the sick husband and daughter her own health is deteriorating further limiting her options.

and it's going to be difficult to get work. but i have a family to look after i have been trying to get to work. doing some silva feels she cannot even go back to her village as there's nothing there for her now life has become a daily struggle for survival. and here's a look at stories making headlines around the world the death toll from floods and landslides in eastern india asia and to neighboring east timor has climbed to more than $150.00 rescue was also a chain for dozens more are still missing a tropical syphon caused the damage will cost is expected will gradually move away from the land in the coming days. and jordan state news agency says that the country's public prosecutor has banned media coverage of the frictions between king abdullah and his hof brother prince. had been under house arrest for allegedly

plotting to destabilize the country hums a page in agents to the came off to mediation by the royal family. a volcano in iceland has opened a new several 100 meter long fissure which has begun spewing. hundreds of people have been evacuated the volcano has been erupting since late march having previously been dormant for nearly 800 years. and diplomats from the world's most powerful countries all meeting industry has capital vienna today for talks aimed at salvaging the iran nuclear deal u.s. president joe biden's of ministration wants to revive the accord but has saved that requires negotiations now iran is refusing direct talks calling for sanctions to be lifted 1st european nations will mediate between the 2 sides a 2015 agreements to limit iran's nuclear program collapsed after then president donald trump withdrew and reinstated sanctions on the country. u.s.

and iranian officials laid out their aims ahead off today's talks. our overarching goal is to ensure that iran's nuclear program is permanently and verifiably constrained and on a permanent and verifiable basis iran will not be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. pseudocode whether the joint commission's agenda produces a result or not depends on the europeans and reminding the us of its obligations and the americans acting on their commitments. and the depth is bustles correspondent teri schultz is with me now harry so as we just heard these are being described as in direct talks can you tell us what that means and what is going to happen today that's right and this is because iran refuses to sit down with the united states until the u.s.

lifts the saying says that president trump reinstated on iran and the u.s. says it's not ready to do that yet and so what's going to happen is that the other parties britain france germany china and russia will hold talks with iran and then they will hold talks with the united states it's unclear at this point probably because the parties don't know themselves whether there will be multiple rounds or even whether these talks may extend for more than just today we just don't know at this point how it's going to go but all the parties believe that simply getting all that all the negotiators in the same city vienna is a good step forward. sorry is there a realistic prospect that both sides will simply sign up to that original treaty once again. well a technical point is that iran never actually quits the deal it's violating it in some very significant ways but it remains in the deal it's the united states that quit and that's a point that iran makes again and again so the united states still has some of the

same problems under under president biden that it had under president trump they don't go so far as to say it's the worst deal ever trump did but they do have some issues that you heard state department spokesman ed price point out one of those is that some of the aspects of the iran nuclear deal are temporary and some of the restrictions will begin expiring in his little list 5 years that's something the u.s. would like to like to fix but again it's unclear whether they would push for that in these very early phases of getting back to the table. and talking about getting back to table issues go back to those talks in vienna today what would sexiest look like at the end of today expectations are very low for any substantive breakthrough at this 1st round of talks especially with the 2 sides not going face to face but i think that if the talks ended with an agreement to simply have another round or if if you know the united states and iran thought there was enough

room for compromise that they would hold face to face talks that would be a huge success but again if both of both sides stay in vienna and complete this round of talks i think they will consider that a success all right that's all cherish and brussels she's going to be keeping an eye on those talks in vienna thank you terry. and rushes if the news pay pay is reporting that jailed kremlin critic alexei navalny has been moved to a psych ward the opposition politician was jailed in favor and has been on hunger strike since last wednesday in protest at the lack of medical care now with parliamentary elections less than 6 months away well for cities all cracking down on crime and critics they could be facing new threats including from within the traditionally loyal communist party. and travel to the southwest and city of subtle ways she may say a local politician who's determined not to be silenced. in the footsteps

of lang. self as a politician of the people just like his communist forefathers but he has a huge social media presence. because you tube channel has over a 1000000 subscribers fight for your rights is the motto here. his social media accounts show him fighting against corruption and for more equality including as a representative in the regional parliament and beyond that ankara doesn't shy away from criticizing the kremlin and the ruling united russia party. it's your actions the actions of the russian government of your president of your united russia party you gave our national riches away to oligarchs. and now one that includes facing what he says is a political campaign against him local politicians have accused him of corruption for monetizing his social media accounts he could face

a criminal case that could prevent him from running in the upcoming dumas elections . the government is afraid of people uniting uniting around a concrete political program which provides an alternative to the course they have taken. throughout my whole career during the many hours of live streams online or in my videos i never asked people to follow nicholai blundering co. i'm just asking people to be political if you don't like what i say follow your own line the main thing is to not give up. in russia there are traces of the soviet past everywhere including in south of the communist party is still popular here and across the country even though critics say the party ultimately follows the kremlin line but even russia's so-called systemic opposition parties have recently become an outlet for people's anger at the government. last. here the arrest of

a popular governor from the right wing liberal democratic party led to weeks of protests in russia's far eastern city of god. every monday need to live on that anchor has his office hours the 35 year old spends most of the day with constituents people stand in line for support with issues from benefit applications to problems with corruption. i've placed my hopes and. i heard how he talks to people and i've heard his speeches. in russia they don't like people who tell the truth it's always been that way so if he's trying to get the truth out to people naturally he becomes undesirable to the government if you can see how he acts at all as parliamentary session c.i.'s uncomfortable questions the authorities don't like that but the experts agree that the kremlin might try to keep people like john that anchor out of federal politics. ahead of the duma lections the kremlin makes clear arrangements with the main opposition parties about which

candidates can run and what results they should get they don't want to let anyone in who will rock the boat. but despite attempts to intimidate him but isn't ready to give up. people today are hungry for justice and for truth they don't trust the authorities on the whole. so i went into politics to prove to citizens that lawmakers can work honestly people will be able to choose to become liben that ankara is already preparing his campaign for the duma elections and he hopes he will be allowed a fair fight. and germany may be headed for a long tough occurred if ice restrictions despite having spent almost hof in some form of lockdown infections a high across the country and the vaccination is still sluggish now in response to the crisis most atheists according for a holiday lock down one of them is on in flesh it head off germany's most populous state and the leader of chancellor angela merkel's conservative party until now he

had opposed stricter locked on. a national during a visit to a vaccination center last week the approach of him and other state premiers to the pandemic took a broadside from the chancellor. he solved in return a call for more talks and tougher measures. to stop globish. and that was why i think we need to bridge knock down you mustn't we have to build the bridge to the point in time where a lot of people of oxen a tooth i'm on my own my stuff i know that a lot of people are tired of the pandemic but also because a lot are ready to go a step further i mean street so even. that it wants more people working from home and stricter curfews produce fewer restrictions as possible for schools and kindergartens he says he has allies including the chancellor but not everyone is on board. yes i think a lot of what mr lasher says he's unclear bridge lock down this temporary with what

measures are not supposed to go on until many people have been vaccinated what does all that mean i don't think he said russia has thought things through so i can't see any point in calling the state premiers back for talks earlier than planned so i mean this to put it in confidence as a. problem is simply the time we've lost one for a month we've known that the numbers are going up so it's clear that we need decisive measures now. and she's. the man next to lash it is a leading german intensive care doctor and he warns. the nuisance growth of the next fortnight or so we expect the number of infections will continue to grow we'll have 5000 cope with 1000 patients in intensive care the situation really is very dramatic. and the health minister says vaccinations will not break the subway if only about $10000000.00 germans have

had their 1st job so far. political correspondent good to see you thomas so be heads over the need. for a hard time without a support does he have and how likely is it that he will get his way. well i mean gosh it on german chancellor angela merkel haven't seen eye to eye in recent days in fact going to merkel openly criticized for his coronavirus management as head of the state of north rhine-westphalia and then actually pulled back and also criticised those comments by the german chancellor but when we look specifically at the need or at least that desire for strict measures here in germany that is something that i'm going to merkel the german chancellor has stressed on various occasions she has reportedly been stopped by leaders regional leaders who want different kinds of measures and that's the reason christine why now there's all discussion about what path germany should go in the next few weeks where the should

be centralised measures that are that are a pick of all for the whole of the country whether there's a need for another meeting between german federal and state leaders a quick a meeting the next one is planned for april 12th all these are issues that are being discussed now obviously it's proposed and we sold out in a piece has been criticised by other state premiers who consider it too imprecise so it'll be such an interesting to see how that debate moves on in the next few days ahead of that very important meeting to decide whether germany goes into a stricter lockdown or whether it meant maintains some of the policies that it has had until now it's almost as i was just saying jamie has been in some form of lock down for the last 6 months now what is the general public sentiment towards the idea of a tougher and longer look down. this is interesting christine because actually a majority of germans according to a poll this month view it favorably the possibility of imposing stricter measures

here in germany so that's something that obviously john politicians are very much aware of but on the other hand there is also a lot of criticism from the germans towards the way the government both federally and regionally have handled the coronavirus pandemic about the fact that there is a lot of confusion in fact a majority of germans have stressed that they've lost track over watch measures are a pickup will wear on the way and so this is also something that politicians are very much aware of and that's why the pressure has grown and continues to grow on them to make a clear position on where germany is going to be heading in the next few weeks all right that state of these political correspondent tom aspire thank you thomas and here are some of the latest developments in the pandemic new zealand has announced it will open a travel babble bubbles me with australia on a 419 it will allow quarantine free travel between the neighboring nations and starting next month singapore will accept visits his who use a mobile travel pos containing digital significance for $1000.00 tests and vaccines

it is one of the 1st countries to adopt the initiative and new data from israel suggests that cities that people are unlikely to pass the virus on to this who have not received the jab a study showed that the number of vaccinated adults went up whereas the number of native adults went up infection rates among unvaccinated people in the same community went down especially among children. while many people around the world may be asking how the governments could have been better prepared for by the pandemic they might want to look to chief will someone says the last american country has established ties with the chinese by a pharmaceutical company scientific long before the covert began and. still facing coronavirus destructions there and bureaucratic vaccination program has gotten off to an encouraging. father christian pass on is leading the

lord's prayer in the side aisle of his church san fernando rey the rest of the building has been reserved for a more urgent matter under the eyes of st francis chileans are being backs needed against the coronavirus an injection in the house of god. we have agreed to serve as a vaccination center after all we are currently in a state of war so we also have to help our country and the people. chile's health department is making use of churches across the country to roll out the vaccine the small nation is one of the fastest in the world and getting it done but it's not just the churches stadiums and parks are also part of chile's vaccination campaign there are solutions that aren't hindered by bureaucracy and that's one reason why chile is vaccination program is such a success another reason is this man alexis color the university biochemist made

the crucial contact with china so that chile could get hold of millions of vaccine doses early on. our scientific contacts were instrumental in getting a contract in place early on that committed sign of act to supply chile in a timely and prioritized manner. as well as the contract it was also important that chile's researchers could demonstrate the vaccines efficacy. his involvement has helped to build confidence here in the chinese vaccine while germany still had reservations about it the university's rector explains. before the study only 50 percent of chileans trusted the active ingredient from china now things are different because we were able to credibly show that it works today more than 80 percent trust the vaccine. but despite the vaccine success the infection rate in chile is rising sharply so

a strict lockdown has been imposed again anyone out on the streets needs a permit. but why are infection rates rising despite progress in the vaccination campaign apparently many chileans became careless. we're coming out of the chilly in summer and people wanted to relax. they didn't always protect themselves the beaches were full many people went back to having parties even though they were forbidden. so for now people in chile will just have to be patient before they get their freedom back. and a reminder a story of our way india's state it is all for you for a wider vaccination rollout as the country faces a staggering surgeon coronavirus cases fairly 97000 new infections were reported
