we protect our tenants we do make a difference good morning to those who are meant to a series of them do sometimes and do you don't want to go online. this is day there be any is live from the land india is hits by a 2nd wave of the corona virus as new cases soar to almost 100000 for a single 2nd day running status for long prime minister narendra modi to open up vaccinations to more of the population also coming up. they call for

a harder and longer lockdown in germany to head off and get a metal cd paci and would be chance in a ses tougher restrictions would slow the 3rd wave of the pandemic and her overarching theme is to ensure that iran's nuclear program is permanently in verifiably constrained. top diplomat escaped to vienna to try to rescue the iran nuclear deal but with tehran refusing to talk directly to washington what are the chances of progress. hello i'm christie one it's good to have your company india's state leaders all calling for a wider vaccination rollout has the country faces a staggering surge in corona virus cases nearly 97000 to new infections were reported on tuesday that's holding in monday's record high. i and many hospitals

are now being overrun by patients for example in the worst affected state. india's richest state said the commercial capital of mumbai has imposed fresh restrictions through the end of april. and i'm now joined by the daily bureau chief. good to see you know what is driving be current surge of infections hi christine yes it came must want to shock people here because the easing would be under the pandemic and then we'd have high numbers at the weekend what's driving it it's a very a lot of people deliberately futility in deerfield is a host of new newton and very issues of the virus which of english which are much more into just the and 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 just people have become complacent the thought that the bang demick was behind them but the virus is very very much here and people are being a girl appropriate measures right and every service comes as well perhaps has prompted state leaders to call on the prime minister narendra modi to open after next a nation's to more of the adult population how is that vaccination rollout going on . well this is the world's largest vaccination drive as india likes to see that they haven't expanded the vaccination program just last week they allowed every bottle of the age of 45 to take the chair so and they are or is that it should be able to everyone and that is a possibility that is likely what happens in the future and all dog you know india is doing very well when you look in terms of numbers of people vaccinated india's population the outcome is steady modest less than 5 percent of the people in india

have received the trust vaccine and less than one percent have received a 2nd dose of the vaccine it's a long road ahead kristie. and in the meantime a mater 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 jumped. by as the commercial capital of the country they have night time go fused they're also implementing containment stilled when they are infections and just as of in the interactions they are trying to avoid big super spreader events like we saw in the last against 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 of the government is encouraging don't do follow for example reading must social distancing washing their hands because if people themselves are mockingbirds about following these measures it's

a huge challenge for the government right that is daily. thank you amrita. in germany calls all growing for a unified approach to tackling the coronavirus pandemic following mounting frustration and confusion over the patchwork agreements across the country not under the country's federal system each of the country's 16 states can decide its own rules some have decided against curfews and are going ahead with reopening mischa's of the western state of silent is becoming the 1st state to its it's a nation wide lockdown today at the state previous days that a comparatively low infection rate and extensive testing justifies the move as it comes as scientists and several politicians all for a strict lock down one of those politicians is on me unless it's the head of germany's most populous state trying waste failure and the leader of i'm going to medical school and saved

a posse has what he had to say yesterday. that's why i think we need a bridge locked on mission we have to build the bridge to the point in time where a lot of people are vaccinated. i know that a lot of people are tired of the pandemic. but also that a lot are ready to go a step further and then i may or june to enter a new phase. in and i large majority of citizens are willing to take this step so that we have a better outlook and more planning security. he's in st. the book could see the bridge to a breakthrough success and testing our food means we need to double down on noise and a lot of areas and move towards a lockdown. and they are spawning thomas farah is following the story for us thomas so we're we've just been listening to the leader of i'm going to

medical conservative cd a posse i mean lush is calling for a heart of octagon in germany how likely is it that he's going to get his way. well his comments christine were met with criticism by other regional leaders in particular those who criticize those comments as being too imprecise on those who criticized also the fact that he was bringing to the table yet another breach lock down when germany has already been under various different lock downs whether you call it on lockdown light or a hard lock down or a hard on lockdown or a mega lockdown so basically those who criticize him say has been too confusing and that there should be clear measures and that's why they have also been calls for centralized or unified measures to tackle this 3rd wave of the pandemic there is support however for stricter measures one important provision johnson i'm going to mogul has already voiced support for stricter measures when it comes to dealing

with this coronavirus pandemic but it will be interesting to see whether other leading politicians in germany also voiced support to those stricter measures in particular because there is a meeting planned on april 12th to decide the course of action for the next few weeks in germany and tell us what's it can roll public sentiment towards the idea of a a tough and longer a lockdown as i pointed out when we started germany has been in some form of lockdown for for half a year now. well and that's important christine because according to a survey that was published earlier this month a majority of germans actually favor stricter measures to fight this 3rd way for so if politicians do decide to impose a strict lock down they would certainly have the support of germany's population that doesn't mean that german population is actually supporting regional and federal authorities all together in fact criticism is growing skepticism is growing over all when it comes to the crisis management both at the federal level to

regional level and this essentially means that pressure is growing on a petition not only german chancellor angela merkel but regional politicians as well to make clear what kind of policies germany will have in the next few weeks in order to tackle this 3rd wave of the coronavirus pandemic ok that's nice political correspondent tom aspera thank you thomas. and here's a look at some more stories making headlines around the world rescuers are searching for dozens of people still missing off the floods and landslides slipped away villages in indonesia and east timor over the weekend indonesia's disaster agency says at least 86 people have died that is a lower death toll than previously reported all 40 say a miscommunication with local agencies was to blame. and jordan state news agency says that the country's public prosecutor has banned media coverage of the frictions between king abdullah and his half brother prince i'm so i have been at

the house arrest for allegedly plotting to destabilize the country earlier times of page to legions to the king off to mediation by the royal family. and mozambique's ministry says it has regained full control over the coastal town of hama jihadists from a group linked to al qaeda attacked it made last month hama is located near a natural gas projects with some 60000000000 dollars aid groups say tens of thousands have fled the fighting. now diplomats from the world's most powerful countries are meeting in austria's capital vienna today for talks aimed at salvaging the iran nuclear deal u.s. president joe biden's administration wants to revive the accord but has said 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 agreement to limit iran's nuclear program collapsed after then u.s.

president donald trump withdrew and reinstated sanctions on the country. the u.s. and iranian officials laid out there ahead of today's talks in vienna. our overarching goal is to ensure that iran's nuclear program is permanently and verifiably constrained in that on a permanent and verifiable basis iran will not be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. because 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 muscles 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 the all the negotiators in the same city vienna is a good step forward. terry 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 littlest 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 the 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 that 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 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 brussel she's going to be keeping an eye on those talks in vienna thank you terry. and north korea has become the 1st country to drop out of the sea is tokyo olympics. say they made the decision to protect athletes from covert 19 now south korea has expressed regret over the decision saying it had hoped the games would provide an opportunity to improve relations the pandemic has already pushed back the end and fixed which were originally for 2020 the organizers have scrambled to put in place preventive safety
