you look and so on that's interesting is that 10 states are really driving this new surge what is happening in these states that's leading to so many more infections well it's a mix of a lot of factors but most importantly the behavior for which has stepped in and you know with the fall in the number of cases and over the last 15 and tracy it was a sense of or belief amongst the people that you know it's about to go over it 19 these but it's come back because of kids it would be divided and it would always be impatient so it's come back with a vengeance there's been pleased social interactions that because of the culture change of season and the waiting to be then coming in so all of these that those which people are not bearing muscles but also interacting more freely has led to this rising number of prevention pandemic fatigue that's something we're seeing really all over the world i mean he also mentioned wedding season what about larger

gatherings is that really a big factor as well well yes definitely as we all know i mean the more the number of people the greater the interaction ended the chance of transmission not good or not like this and with the change in feeling we had a lot of people are sort of going to their students you know in the religious festivals for different religions but in the country and waiting to be in the job usually very large in india even with the shaft of not more than 50 or 60 individuals these were not very sticky and i think is now beginning to mean really lax behavior to both not wearing the mustang into meaning feeling and even a small infection like the old girl you know of go through the change or a fever or the lightning is driving this surge this time as the previous one ok from your perspective what do you think needs to be done now do you need do does india need a tough new lockdown or should vaccinations as has been suggested been they open up

to more people. well lockdown are a solution for you know what the scene of. the scene we are tackling this disease because you have to stay but definitely be have to have smartest rafiki's one which the country's already undertaking is opening up vaccination for more age groups so they have not been supposed to be a bit more than 45 years and above people going in for a vaccination irrespective of any more bodies but also they believe the need for smarter it's been interesting and many lockdowns as even though at the head of eames in india have said you know that you have to be really got a good strategy where the are finding more cases have a very strict enforcement of the law going measures last better still beilin so genomics so that if it can help us track the exact widest green going on in that it is important and how our hospitals how is the health system coping right now

but it is definitely tough the beds are getting all been done now very quickly and we must remember this is the next wave the 3rd being in a band could be any and the beginning for india because now people have started this year we are now on call with reason so bad that the economic or those non-college business class now has a certain qualities as so many governments have putting restrictions on looking at least 25 to 50 percent of beds for when. you have to leave it there dr just enjoy joining us from delhi very good to have you with us. let's check in now with some of the latest developments in the pandemic new zealand has announced it will open a travel bubble with australia on april 19th it will allow quarantine free travel between the neighboring nations starting next month singapore will accept visitors who use a mobile travel pass containing digital certificates for covert $1000.00 tests and vaccines it is one of the 1st countries to adopt this initiative and a senior figure at the european medicines agency has said there is

a link between the astra zeneca vaccine and blood clots the official said the vaccine regulator was expected to issue an update to its advice later today. here in germany calls are growing for a unified approach to tackling the coronavirus pandemic following mounting frustration and confusion over patchwork arrangements across the country under the 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 measures the western state of becoming the 1st state to exit a national lockdown today the state premier says that a comparatively low infection rate and extensive testing justifies the move but it comes as scientists and several politicians call for a stricter lockdown one of them is on the lush at the head of germany's most populous state north rhine-westphalia and the leader of al michaels conservative party here's what he had to say yesterday. we disrupted all the open the i mean

that's why i think we need a bridge locked on your mission we have to build the bridge to the point in time where a lot of people are vaccinated in my phone i know that a lot of people are tired of the pandemic and partly me but also that a lot are ready to go a step further and then i may or june to enter a new phase. to my new me and i large majority of citizens are willing to take this step so that we have a better outlook and more planning security. hardtop and he's in st we took the book at so the bridge to a breakthrough success in testing our food means we need to double down on noise and a lot of areas freedom to move towards a locked on. we have our political correspondent thomas sparrow on the story for us hi thomas so we heard the head of the c.d.u. party there are calling for a tougher lockdown here in germany how likely is it that he will get his way. well

mr lasher comments were met but were met with criticism here in germany by other state premiers who believe his comments were too imprecise who believe that he was actually creating more confusion at a time when germany needs a line on clearer decisions as to what the path forward is but it's important to me to also add that mr lasher is not the 1st politician here in germany to call for stricter measures to call for a stricter lockdown especially as numbers of infections continue to rise so it will be interesting to see exactly what state premiers and the german chancellor decide when they meet next to the next meeting scheduled for april the 12th although it could be brought forward if the situation continues to be as difficult as problematic as a tease at the moment and thomas how determined still about the prospect of a tougher and longer lock down germans are actually in favor of tougher

lockdown if you judge by a recent survey which revealed that up on giora t. of germans actually agree with the possible stricter lockdown here in germany but that does not mean sumi that germans overall are happy with the way the government both federally and regionally are dealing with this coronavirus pandemic and in particular with the 3rd wave which has been a very difficult one for germany let's listen to what some germans had to say about this here in the streets in berlin. it's a very good way the 3rd way was looking it will be even more devastating than the 2nd. nuts where i think there will be you know they're hard long gone are. politicians some who can't seem to come up with anything else they're just long gone long until everyone is vaccinated. we should 1st implement the measures that have already been agreed upon they decide again and again the new rules then they disagree then everyone does their own thing and it's hard to understand.

if our leaders are able to stop arguing then there will be a hard long going to go there's probably no other way to solve and. to move but you have too much too many meetings going on and you can't keep up with what's the rule today what's the rule tomorrow it's too difficult to keep up and i don't think another lock down is good for the country. i mean if i have to summarize how germans view the current situation i would say that day is confusion on the one hand something that we clearly see in some of the polls that have come out but also skepticism on what all this means is more and more pressure on german authorities to come up with such a clear line as to how germany will in the next few weeks and in the next few months deal with the 3rd wave of the coronavirus pandemic our political correspondent thomas sparrow thank you very much. well many people around the world may be asking how their governments could have been better prepared for

a pandemic they might want to look to chile for some answers the latin american country had established ties with the chinese biopharmaceutical company sino back long before the covered 1000 pandemic began and although chileans are still facing coronavirus restrictions there on bureaucratic vaccination campaign has gotten off to an encouraging start. father christian passing on is leading the lord's prayer in the side aisle of his church san fernando ray the rest of the building has been reserved for a more urgent matter under the eyes of st francis chileans are being vaccinated against the corona virus an injection in the house of god. but. 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 of. chile as 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 church's 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. 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 chilean 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. let's get a round up now of some other headlines israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been nominated by the country's president to form a new coalition after a 4th inconclusive election that yahoo now has 28 days to break in on precedented political stalemate and cobble together a governing majority in consultations held by president reagan rivlin on monday netanyahu received the most indorsements from parliamentary factions. north korea has become the 1st country to drop out of this year's tokyo olympics authorities say they made the decision to protect athletes from covert 19 south korea has expressed regret over the decision saying it had hoped that the games would provide an opportunity to improve relations. rescuers are searching for dozens of people still missing after floods and landslides swept away villages in indonesia and east

nuclear deal u.s. president joe biden said ministration wants to revive the accord after negotiations 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 president donald trump withdrew and stated sanctions on the country u.s. and iranian officials laid out their a head of 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. who to call whether the joint commissions agenda produces a result or not depends on the europeans and reminding the us of its obligations and the americans acting on their commitments let's bring in deed of use correspondent teri schultz who is following the story from brussels hi terry it's

good to see you we've heard this being referred to as indirect talks so can you tell us what that means and what is actually going to happen today hi sue me we're not exactly sure of all the logistics yet but as we understand it the talks this afternoon will take place in 2 different locations because iran refuses to meet face to face with the united states and what the goal is is to come up with basically 2 to do list one for iran one for the u.s. one to bring iran back into compliance with the deal to reverse the nuclear activities that has that it has undertaken over the last year and for the u.s. to rejoin the deal now those things will not take place with the 2 parties face to face but the but the 3 the france britain and germany and china and russia will go between the 2 sides and hopefully at the end of this session of talks they may have you know an agreement to move forward and have another round ok is there a realistic prospect that both sides could simply sign up to the original treaty

again. well technically iran didn't quit the deal it just quit abiding by it and that's of real concern because of course the deal itself was to stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon in the fears are that it has moved quite quickly in the direction of possibly getting one but if the us had not agreeing to president trumps assessment that this was the worst deal ever does have some issues with it and as you heard state department spokesman ed price say there they would like this deal to be permanent to put permanent restrictions on iran and the original agreement didn't do that so the u.s. has some issues with the original agreement at the same time everyone agrees that getting both sides back into compliance with this deal would be a really important 1st step we're not exactly sure what we'll see in the talks today but terry what do you think success could look like at the end of today nobody has very high hopes for any substantive breakthroughs at the same time everyone's very optimistic about even having iran and the u.s.

in the same city and both iran and the u.s. have called this a good step forward iran says it's neither optimistic or pessimistic about the outcome and the u.s. called it a healthy step so i think that given given the rhetoric that we've seen between these 2 parties over the last couple of years over the last 4 years of the trumpet ministration i think everyone agrees this is moving in the right direction. reporting there in brussels thank you so much. russ yes it is vesta newspaper is reporting that jailed opposition politician alexina volney has been moved to a 6th ward the kremlin critic was jailed in february and has been on a hunger strike since last wednesday to protest the lack of medical care with parliamentary elections less than 6 months away authorities are cracking down on kremlin critics but they could be facing new threats including from within the traditionally loyalist loyal communist party emily sherman traveled to the

southwestern city of saratov where she met a local politician who is determined not to be silenced. in the footsteps of language. that anka sees himself 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 bondarenko doesn't shy away from criticizing the kremlin and the ruling united russia party. its 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 bun that

anchor is 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 nikolai 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 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. every monday nikolai bondarenko 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 bonded enco 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 will do this and you can see how he acts at all as parliamentary session c.i.'s uncomfortable questions the authorities don't like that but. 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 the. people today are hungry for justice and for truth they don't trust the authorities on the whole. i went into politics to prove to citizens that lawmakers can work honestly or will do just. that ankara is already preparing his campaign for the duma elections and he hopes he will be allowed a fair fight. sports now and football match just a city manager pep guardiola says he thinks it is possible his club could melt a bit to sign dortmund superstar erling holland his comments came as a surprise previously said the club could not meet the enormous asking price the

timing was also interesting ordeal as club play dortmund in the 1st leg of a champions league quarter final on tuesday. we already knew pitt guardiola wanted a champions league title as much as anyone but we didn't know it was that beyond victory against dortmund on tuesday night he also like so many others wants the german sides most prized position. and if he's trained seriously goal of the season . that they just called his amount of what is not easy to find in the past honestly so i think 20 years old with the numbers to speak for speak for himself yeah it's a fantastic strike and everybody knows it's all a blank guy who will realise that with a striker. that's why some say the price could be as high as 150000000 euros and maybe that's why pick guardiola was not just papering price on holland but trying to gently persuade the club's iraqi ownership to spend like they've

never spent before so far the club have decided not to spend. not close $100000000.00 or more than $100000000.00 for blame even if it is going to happen when the club decide it's necessary for improve the team the club the team for the next 510 years for many reasons. 2 months left to run on the current season and every of a suitor will have to white and now it seems not so much if he will leave brasier dortmund but rather from where exactly where units. let's get a reminder now for our top story here on g.w. indian state leaders are calling for a wider vaccination rollout as the country faces a staggering surge in cologne a virus cases nearly 97000 new infections were reported on tuesday hovering near a record high the western state of maharashtra has seen more than half of the total cases reported in the past 2 weeks. coming up next our born to sleeper show

was crunch time in the bundesliga as much state 27 featured some season defining fixtures with the campaign nearing the finish line i'm number of teams were facing pivotal encounters. leipzig had a massive chance to stake their claim for the title victory against by munich would keep their hopes alive while a loss would end their trophy aspirations. the stakes were also high for a loss against frankfurt would hand their opponents a big advantage in the race for the champions league spots and perhaps derail any chance of keeping hold of best starmap. of course the chances are not that small on . the other end of the table half a 1000000000 faced city rivals own with their book this league a future still in the balance. of fellow relegation candidates minds and the build faced knowing victory over

a rival could be invaluable come season's end. mall in the bundesliga is make or break match day $27.00 might start with the title tussle like. the good life club with a relatively short history but big ambitions they've made no secret of their intention to topple byron and secure their 1st title for you only are not goals man and his team beating the champions in a saturday head to head would cut the gap in the table to. just one solitary point byron's germany contingent weren't exactly on a high after the shock loss to north macedonia 11 dosti had picked up an injury while on his international duty but a lot of sick smelled blood and took the battle to byron with some meaty challenges and the champions did look somewhat unsettled. in 7 minutes and look us here not

just was caught dithering but as ever alert to the danger emmanuel neuer rushed out to clear the ball ahead of emil forsberg. lights it looked in charge in the early exchanges with 4 asparagus a false number 9 while biron were clearly missing their real number 911 dossier. in his place was another natural striker erik maxing sheeple motoring handed a rare start although he insisted it was just business as usual. it's the same when i when i can play i will give every everything a 100 percent and try to help the team unfortunately he is injured and everybody knows he's very important for us but the good thing of football is it's a team sport. lights it tried everything they could to break through the byron de chance but it wasn't them who would take 1st planned. peach of a pass from yahshua chemist down thomas miller who cut the ball back from the by

line for a correct sketch i hammer home 1st time. even without their star striker and with less of the ball and fewer chances buyer yet again showed their lethal touch one nil in the 38th minute. with the visitors still on the back foot by an almost doubled their lead a few minutes later as levi sign a force to fine save from pay took a lot. now girls man's men still had the entire 2nd half to turn things around and after finally getting their 1st shot on target they started peppering the bar and goal. this season leipsic have only scored from 8.6 percent of their shots a decidedly mid table figure against byron it was 0. 0 no goals meant no points and is it also game over in terms of the title.

something out of the ordinary that 6 want to. give runners up is nothing to sneeze at but lights aren't happy. in the fact that some bits at the end of the day we're missing that killer instinct on the right efficiency in front of goal it's frustrating to do the hard work we've put in we've dropped far too many points. it's an all too familiar tune for light sake and other teams trying to challenge biron who will surely now clinch their 9th successive title. now that said today's game was a kind of final and the team said we can do finals about a month because i feel like convert the rest go with the winner but it was a team mate who actually made the difference. because. there's nothing wrong with celebrating on your own as manuel neuer often has to do . it was a good son being out of big quality opponents with

a clean sheet as well. especially as keeping a clean sheet hasn't come vassie easy for neuer this season with just 7 so far. he's had to come to the rescue surprisingly often as seen again versus life 6 showing just why he is once more the reigning fifo. world goalkeeper. get. the shot stopping from his well he's still a world beater. split itself about well. enough leipzig and our match day hero will. top wind and frankfurt are both fighting for champions league action next season

for dortmund it's almost obligatory especially with the ailing holland busting a gut and his agent chatting across europe to talk to the strikers growing number of suitors. the likes of barcelona rail madrid and manchester city are vying for a signature worth a reported 150000000 euros and would really struggle to keep him without champions league action so that means moving up to a top 4 finish. and in 4th spot are frankfurt their opponents on saturday the task for dortmund was to close that gap from 4 points to one a task that would fall heavily on holland's shoulders but frankfurt are where they are for a good reason they're a well oiled machine and have the supreme crossing talents of philip caustics. the serbia international is currently the league's most efficient assist provider his target man is usually andre silva even if in this case he was beaten to the

ball by nico schultz for an own goal in the 11th minute in a flash that gap in the table had grown from 4 points to a daunting 7. at the other end holland was toiling away looking to add to his 21 goal tally. among his many assets are 1st time strikes even if they don't all hit the target. he's also admired for his determination and will to win which also includes tracking back and when he's on the ball he's hard to get off and. his vision and movement are also top class as seen again this weekend where he posed a constant threat in the frankfurt box but still he's only human and was unable to prevail against a well organized frankfurt side. dortmund are far from a one man team of course and when emirates chan chested down this corner then

defender maximals was on hand for a classic poacher's goal the equaliser just before half time rekindle to hope for dortmund. and fortune smiled on them midway through the 2nd half. and the other ball into the box from cost it had it in by stefan peel sancha was rather over the moon had they sealed all 3 points. as it turned out now after a v.a.r. check the referee ruled out the goal for offside. not mung after howland latched onto a long ball right where he likes them and bore down on the frankfurt goal in trademark style. but again it wasn't his day that all important winner eluded dortmund and to make matters worse 2 minutes from

the end it was frankfurt who sees their chance. the golden assist delivered by who else but cost the score silva was his 22nd goal of the season put a huge dent in dortmund's top 4 ambitions frankfurt are still living the dream as they remain on course for their debut of parents in the champions league. live absolutely before the game we really wanted to make that 7 point gap happen i'm now we have to defend that. these ports that's a foot tight and we can already table but we still have a very long road ahead of us. it's also a result that makes holland's departure all the likelier with europe's biggest stage slipping away from dortmund the road ahead is looking extremely rocky. it will be a disaster if we're not in the champions league next season. so to be honest i'm

really not keen on playing the rope illegal whatever i want to be in the champions league and i'm sure don't mean does too it's going to be really tough. not exactly a confidence boosting statement perhaps tons team can learn from replays of our best move of the week and after being on the receiving end. granted it's not so much one move as a glass of them no one puts in as many courses in the bundesliga as philip cost which a whopping $154.00 to date a 3rd more than the next man posted shook his left hand side the friend for the side to duck to the coast which again delivers the costs of the teams know all about the danger of cost of his crosses but most so much about preventing that endorsement he sets up both goals for a split teams and food team to serve the season. to johnson that

diminished cross and again the goal make it the best cross a critical stage. in the cost of his back scoring creating assists and he's full of confidence he set high standards for him self. to the simple cost each a key player for the high flying eagles now to the compact. good. the sun always seems to be shining in both sports as they chase champions league qualification 3rd in the table they get so loose in their own backyard this season the opening goal in their game against cologne typified their form right now even when things go wrong they somehow still go right. a collision between teammates a stumble and an improvised pass before use a quick hello hit home a deflected finish in the 6. tonight monette. wolves gaffer all of it last no

wasn't sure what he just same but he liked it all the same. cologne keeper tino horn ensured the score stayed at one now. both spork record a 15th one of the season now teams in far worse form. a ray of sunshine through the clouds a promising omen for stuff. rock bottom shelter provided a chance to banish the gloom off to back to back to feast on the home side started brightly carrying bella robbie's 26 minute pulse found these who picked out a surging kerim demi. the germans cross was inch perfect. invent double their lead in the 72nd minute. sent patrick shay clear through on the chick to the rest. and it was all about the assist versus balance and weight of post back to the player far beyond his 17 years. shall give

volleyed home late home to keep things interesting a truly expert finish from class. the veteran striker showing experience can be just as deadly as youth but the dutchman's goal proved to be too little too late. to. leave accusing back in the race for european football following new coach tennis balls 1st game in charge. fellow european hopefuls club boss looked in high spirits before kick off against private phone spans and know that if they make the top 5 of the season marcus tonight will have played a crucial role yet it was freiburg construct 1st emma dane demetre bitch tina valentia lloyd in the 10 minutes of. a rough week for germany defender muchas ginger was getting rougher. but it was given to his cross which led to his side 2nd

tap equalizer. unorthodox finish from too hot but the best always find a way. and the frenchman added a 2nd on the hour mark just off camera sending him one on one with flowing on the last. 6 goal of the campaign for 2 and a timely return to form miller can't so very close. but just not close enough. glove pass boost their european chances with a $21.00 win but now the 2 teens with little left to play for. it's easy to play with a smile when the pressure is off and both outspoken i'm hoping i already looks at the table obscurity still another 3 points never hurt anyone. daniel caligiuri is powerful right.
