shortage of oxygen and hospital beds how bad is the situation at the moment. but about that situation she'll eat even. desperate. medical care medically and cross the country it's understood that you are stressed specially in quotes like new delhi and mumbai once again to the deepest. doubting that all was because without putting trying to get in there trying to get oxygen trying to get it out shocking instances of death to float it i suppose that is just ran out to walk to and to the dying to slow death should need you know i mean it's flooded with requests for oxygen beds for medication and this truly indicates just how difficult it is for the governor it's what you need never to put the stories this. morning to instagram and please no matter the cost is or yes certainly an

alarming situation what about the vaccine roll out is there a chance that immunizations could improve things. go back to do without in india has the. lead in the fight to its original targets because of the massive population all sting dollars is given out if you do you. just mean the vaccine trade look look impressive but still it's not one can reach 10 percent of the book you should be wildly until it is 20 was the new government has now announced expansion of the trade. gives you a team from the floods to me this is of course the period as an important step up that they're not going to step now that manufacture doesn't get out we're back. this could push up prices and deep them out of reach or. what else then are all thora things doing to try and combat this explosion in infections.

well her background is i actually made the decisions not to state by state level of the student. and national level the prime minister got out of the. forces why did nash but authorities in the hardest hit steve. had a different versions of lock downs and shutdowns seeing the need this trying to get for a structure but it just to leave. the fire fight and it might be much more stringent actually you did these got your. back was a mammoth task ahead weren't they doubly correspondent maisha jaiswal in delhi thanks very much. as taken up now on some of the all the latest developments in the pandemic syria has received its 1st shipment of astra zeneca jabs through the kovacs program more than 200000 doses have arrived in the country the world health organization is due to begin a new round of review into the safety and efficacy of russia's sputnik vevo ag

saying and drugs make a fine as it has confirmed fake doses of a corona virus vaccine was seized in mexico and poland the fakes were selling for as much as 2000 euros a shot. and officials say president joe biden will commit the united states to cutting its greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of the decade the ambitious pledge sets the bar for a global climate summit that kicks off later today hosted by the us a summit opens on earth day which ushered in the modern environmental movement back in 1970. this planet is destruction. we are in a crisis of survive on the 22nd of april 970 millions of americans mostly students took to the streets to demand more environmental protection it was the birth of earth day and an important step towards what was to become a global environmental movement proles

a pesticide controls the head clean air clean water the list of environmental laws and regulations that passed over that decade after earth day or wait by a growing environmental movement is quite a story nevertheless 51 years later today's environmental problems are even more serious due to climate change. since the beginning of industrialization the earth has heated up by one degree it could be well over 2 degrees warmer by the end of the century. today it's once again mainly young people who are taking to the streets this time they're demanding a drastic reduction in global c o 2 emissions that we young people have had enough we say you know for. 201-5196 states signed up to the paris agreement which promises to limit climate change that go the paris climate agreement has been signed. it was

an historic moment and when air traffic was reduced to a bit minimum during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic it was clear that things can change but even that's not enough say researchers and environmental activists. we should not underestimate the power of an individual to cause a commotion and get results change is possible both days demanding it because the climate clock is ticking. when like the u.s. and china india is among the largest emitters of greenhouse gases i'm joined now from delhi by sending to the range she's director general of the center for science and environment as well as editor of the magazine down to earth sinitta welcome to day w. thanks for joining us i'd like to begin with communication perhaps there are still people who don't believe in manmade global warming despite plenty of research to the contrary do scientists need to do

a better job communicating the reality of the problem. absolutely i mean you know we had to baby every season to stand and be over it it was such a tough time until the 4th said on the quick 19 crisis and it's mean hot so hot to communicate the need for mosques it's been so hard to communicate you need to keep such a distance i mean we've had huge political rally the list is gatherings you know you know way that wind is going to come back to us and this is really where the question of science communication with climate change old so is that we all need to do a much better job in being able to tell me where the the the events as they are happening today and what will happen in the future and we need to be able to join starts what are the most urgent challenges then for india in particular when it comes to climate protection. so it's very clear for us we are already seen the impacts of

climate change we do not need to be told about climate change the poor in the wild in india in africa and climate change and the no way through the extreme weather events that happy up and depreciations and whether we are getting more rain and remember in india the finance minister is not the finance minister or cube i suggest it is a monsoon because the monsoon determines and i feel like me well it's in our countries and what we have seen today with climate change is more extraordinary which is leading to more flats more droughts getting more tropical cyclones getting us and each one of this it's not the the fact that we get one cycle but it's the intensity and frequency that is be breaking the back so that betty we're not worried and you know for most of france that message has to be around already in

the brunt of climate change and the poor are victims of climate change they have not contributed to the stock greenhouse gases which is in the atmosphere that's something that must remember to be one hour a day. with running out of time but i want to as you have written that there are 10 ways to save the planet just briefly can you tell us the 3 most important ways. no actually i've said there are not 10 days to skip that i've said did we need to make sure that we transfer real action now and we should not get to these very give birth so nancy you know 10 ways that i am the easy release there's going to be a lot we are at but this is one not one planet and we need to do a lot more to be able to get our act together so that we act the decisive steps i mean what if president biden declared a 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 in the u.s.

this is a be good for solar the u.s. has basically been. difficult to see if it does deviate they go see it including the bad is that we meant so if this happens to mine mine this is really. and it does it will push both the u.s. and countries like india to do much more as we must and in climate activists in it in iran we have to leave it there but thank you very much for your time. on let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world now and the nation navy has launched a search operation for a missing submarine with 53 crewmembers on board contact was lost on wednesday as the sub was conducting a drill off the island of bali astray and singapore have also deployed ships to support the search. spanish prime minister pedro sanchez has pledged to give up to

10 percent of his country's coronavirus vaccines to latin american and caribbean countries this year spain has already unoccupied half of its own population it was speaking at the american summit where other leaders accuse rich countries of hoarding vaccine was. the son of chad's assassinated president has addressed the nation after assuming power interest debbi said his military council would ensure democratic elections will be head held in 18 months opposition parties are calling the military takeover a coup rebel groups when they plan to march on the capital. rights groups say police have detained more than $1400.00 protesters in dozens of cities across russia demonstrators march for the release of a child opposition leader alexina valmy whose health is said to be deteriorating the protests were held on the same day as president vladimir putin's annual state of the nation address in it he wants foreign powers against what he called

provoking russia the e.u. and the u.s. have told moscow it will face consequences if the founding dies in prison. and a show and joins us now for more family melanie's the supporters want him set free but how likely is that in russia. well rebecca i think the chances of that happening are pretty much close to 0 it's very unlikely of course from the russian point of view from the point of view of the russian authorities. is in prison for embezzlement charges. himself says that those are politically motivated but letting him free would be tantamount to admitting that there is essentially no rule of law in russia so i think that's very unlikely to happen but if you are asking me whether protests like the ones that we saw last night make a difference to the kremlin i think they do make some difference the kremlin is certainly concerned i think now having seen people taking to the streets not only

in moscow and st petersburg where protests are traditional but across the entire country in cities across the entire country so it can have i think an affect public opinion matters to the kremlin especially ahead of duma elections which are planned for this coming september we could see some limited concessions from the kremlin for example they could meet another one of the protesters demands which is to let me see one of his doctors and what about the opposition does the russian opposition think it has enough support from the international community in particular the u.s. and the e.u. . well i think international support like these 4 that we've been seeing very vocally from the west is nice to have for the russian opposition but it's not really the key factor when it comes to domestic change which is what they are pushing for the main factor is you know organizing across the country the russian

opposition has been plagued by infighting in the last few years and needs team especially now this year after alex scene of a nice return to russia after russia after his poisoning has managed to unite the russian opposition and they also have managed the last few years to set up offices across the country to organize for example protests like the ones that we saw yesterday across the country but that could soon become impossible even next week we're seeing or we're going to see a court case against. corruption funded it could be declared an extremist organization which would essentially make its work possible in russia and that would make its make it really hard for it to organize across the country in the run up to the elections in september emily thank you for that w.'s evolution in moscow. also with an eye on russia ukraine is seeking international

support against moscow's military build up along its borders in an interview with the reuters news agency ukraine's foreign minister says it's important the west acts now to prevent russia from launching military action rebels for the ukrainian army to a standstill still several years ago in the country's east. connelly reports from the ukrainian city of europol where people are preparing for war. only a few of the older children here can really remember a time without war since conflict began 7 years ago these children have seen parents lose their livelihoods and often their lives now they found stability in this christian children's home unmarriable a city of half a 1000000 people just a matter of kilometers from the frontlines. dropping everything and getting to safety in a hurry is what this drill is all about russia's troop buildup along ukraine's borders means these kinds of exercises are once again part of daily life here for

some of the teenagers though there is little need to practice the answers will back in 2014 i spent 2 months living in our sailor with my mom i never thought the war would reach us i remember watching t.v. it all just seemed so unreal like something from a film then our neighbor's house was hit and we rounded into the sailor for cover and we were just listening to it all. it was really scary i'm scared the house with collapse around us and we'd be trapped in there. back in 2014 frontline suburbs of residential neighborhoods and dozens of casualties nowadays the front line is still just as close to the city and its residents just as vulnerable ukraine's army has made significant strides since 2014 but at sea where russian forces are also now massing ukraine is still a significant disadvantage. the crew of this ukrainian coast guard vessel are tight lipped although willing to tell us that they've seen increased russian actually

pretty in recent weeks they're ready and willing they say to respond to any possible provocation whether or not they expect all out war they refused to say. behind me is a ship belonging to russia's f.s.b. security service is anchored just half an hour's journey of ukrainian. ukraine's handful of coast guard vessels are hopelessly outnumbered in this war with russia controlling access to the see the sea of. grain or its allies can send in. the military and diplomatic posturing every day life goes on can often seem oblivious to all the attention being paid to this region by the outside world. would you believe i have no idea if there will be a war or not but it definitely doesn't depend on what we do here. that both of them yes they're raising tensions now but i still think this is all about political bargaining let's just get. everybody here in marion paul has a sick case packed with money at the same shells in case they need to leave in

a hurry everyone does. we're tired of being afraid that something people here in eastern ukraine tell you time and time again desperate for a chance to live a little even if that would stop them preparing for the worst as they like the rest of the world try to understand what it is like to meet putin and his troops have in store for them. and hodges was a 4 star general in the u.s. army now with the center for european policy analysis and nonpartisan think tank he shared his concerns over the russian build up with. the serious escalation of violence is imminent and no longer think this is just a muscle flexing activity when i look at the scale of the moment. was just a redeployment of naval vessels from the cares of the actually. this is something more than just an action. former u.s.

general ben hodges the now to germany where the upper house of parliament the has passed a national law imposing coronavirus lockdowns on areas with high infection rates the will my kids representing germany's 16 states voted in favor of the new bill it effectively ends the current patchwork federal approach to tackling the pandemic the measures include night time curfews as well as shop and school closures for regions we've high incidence rates germany is battling a more intense 3rd wave of infections on thursday just under 30000 new infections were registered opinion polls show a majority of germans support the new measures. and for more we're joined now by chief political editor. behala one of the practical consequences of this bill passing what is it going to mean for the german people it means that they will no longer have to look on the internet what the district prescribes in any case when

the corona incidence rates hits a certain level and now there will be a so-called emergency brake which is exactly the same once and he just tricks the incidence reaches $100.00 per 100000 inhabitants within the space of 7 days that means non-essential shops would close and the curfew would be implemented from 10 pm till 5 am although there's already been nonsense from the opposition that they will challenge this in the constitutional court because it takes away the possibility for those regions to weigh up rights and really come to their own conclusion there so that's expected to potentially go to the constitutional court but practically within a few days possibly starting monday this emergency break will be in place here in germany across the board now we've been seeing protests popping up around germany but opinion polls also show show a lot of support for tougher measures is the nation split on this issue.

it's difficult to gauge how much the nation is split we heard from one of the state premier speaking sedate criticizing the new door those opinion polls showing that 2 thirds of people are in fact in favor of a tougher lockdown that really didn't give the full picture that they received a lot of course particularly from businesses and at the same time you have a very loud minority in conducting these protests also outside parliament but across the board support for tougher measures is more stable as those emergency calls from hospitals are getting ever louder that intensive care unit suffering up . political chief editor mechanic if nothing else for much. of football now and brucia dortmund kept their champions league hopes alive after a 2 nil win at home to lin the victory season cut the gap to the elite competition slots to 4 points with 4 games of the season remaining. dortmund as usual turned to

the youngsters with champions league qualification hopes hanging by a thread their opponents knew on what also chasing a european spot and it was they almost got off to a flying start with just 13 seconds on the clock marcus inverts and cold a shot against the crossbar and early let off for dortmund. but the hosts grew into the gay children as our fed marker royce and the captain should have put dormant ahead but his short role thomas league wide. royce made amends though in the 25th minute when he won a penalty this seemed to be little contact from keeper. and although he saved holland's book kick royce followed up and bundled the polish of bits of pill to swallow for the visitors who felt the penalty was harsh and almost managed to clear their lines. in the 2nd half they went agonizingly close to equalising when max cruisers free kick can and off the post by 3 place showed dortmund keeper marvin

hits got a feather light touch on the ball to turn it on to the post and keep his side ahead . with time ticking away dortmund made the win safe with only a rough age counter-attack rafael guerrero doubled his side's lead with a smart finish pass the stubborn looter. george burns more experience does deliver a 2 know when that gives them a fighting chance of making the top 4. here watching data many news has a reminder of our top stories india has reported the highest number of new coronavirus cases anywhere in the world only 315000 infections were registered in the past 24 hours the searches overwhelmed hospitals some of which has now run out of oxygen. and u.s. president joe biden opens a global summit on climate change with a pledge to hug u.s. emissions by 2030 it marks the u.s.

yet. the industry is controlling your thoughts the great books of the 20th century. present day hoaxers. grady memorial. church may 3rd. oh. hello and welcome to focus on hero. of all european countries france has experienced the highest number of islamist attacks in recent years more than 250 people have been killed in islamist violence since 2015 last october french high school teacher samuel petty was murdered in broad daylight beheaded by

a radicalized young islamists france was rocked by the brutal attack. but he had shown his students cartoons depicting the prophet mohammed as part of a lesson on freedom of expression since then schools and universities and france have become combat zones in the war over an open debate culture at the university in grenada more and more teaching staff are afraid of openly criticizing islam the lecturer. experienced firsthand how quickly a discussion about proper terminology can become dangerous it currently needs police protection. klaus kinski an instructor at the university of grenoble has to fear for his safety even when doing daily errands like buying vegetables at the market. what we're not supposed to show is that kinsler has 2 police officers keeping constant watch over him. a few weeks ago he was given

police protection as he's now a potential target for radical islam and. it all started when a graffiti on a university wall accused him and a colleague of being islamophobia. isn't it crazy the fact that it's easy for them to do this some of i didn't even look at myself when it happened i was flabbergasted and all the more because no one was willing to defend me that is the 1st accuse you and the fruit of the islamists. the graffiti sprayers belong to a student group that has been embroiled in arguments with kinsler for years the same group also posted a photo of him on social media channels. islam missed groups then shared it making kinsler a target recruiting islamic fundamentalism which is aggressive and violent and

during the past 50 years these movements of also being able to become more influential around the world is of course. it's an issue that affects immigrants to as they are also the victims of islamist propaganda. even higher risk of being targeted it's philosophy teacher did man who lives in paris for security reasons the police refused to let us meet him at his home instead this interview was conducted in a different apartment in an open letter the man had called on france's teachers to oppose radical islam which in his view is growing more influential in schools. and this is why. they've taken over the young people's lives. just a few weeks ago i went back to my school to pick up my things and i saw a 6 or 7 year old girl wearing a veil which is not a religious thing. it's worrying to see adolescents and even children being exposed

to this sort of ideological pressure. for his own safety the man was obliged to stop teaching. longer work in my profession and i'm not sure where to go from here. back in grenoble claus kinsler is determined not to accept the same fate as he admits to being provocative towards his students at times like when he openly questions whether muslims in france are victims of islamophobia kinsler who used to be married to a muslim believes that these types of arguments are part of academic debate. when you look back at your studies you always remember the lecturers you argued with. but those debates taught us a critical music we argue with those letters and afterwards you go out with them to a bar. the case of klaus kinski has made waves at the university of grenoble some students complain about his classes saying he was always only

interested in talking about salafist. this law student a muslim does not want to be shown on camera. i didn't think it was an appropriate way to teaching students who don't know islam and who might have simply wanted to try out his class might have gotten a very negative image of islam because of the professor's subjective perspective. but the student also disagrees with the way things have escalated. so if this issue should have been settled within the university and there should have been a dialogue involving the administration and the teaching staff people shouldn't have to fear for their lives. the french state is relying on tough laws in its fight against radical islamist but some academics argue that this makes it even harder to establish a culture of debate. we often do. these

laws and islam in particular and they give us the feeling that the state doesn't want them here. or here on this then only as to intolerant reactions from certain groups of young was limbs or young converts. so i don't believe that drawing battle lines will help find a solution. to continue the debate is what clough's kinsler in grenoble is hoping to do to he wants to keep on teaching despite the threats. this might have 10 you. know one can stop me from continuing my classes in september. so that's what i intend to do. as has fulfilled a dream she has had her whole life she's learning how to read and write at age 60

these are skills that women in turkey don't take for granted just 30 years ago about a 3rd of turkish women were illiterate but. who lives in the province of van and the eastern part of the country made sacrifices to ensure her children got a good education in the course of her life. has paid more loads of flatbread than she can count. she had to feed 10 children she had no time left over for learning she never went to school. be sure since i was married at age 15 and had my 1st child at 16 it's always been about surviving only owned a single cow now with her granddaughters zeynep help she sits at the living room table every day to learn how to read and write syllable by syllable word by word the 60 year old is exploring a new world. i'm sick of always asking other people how to get places when i can't

read the signs for the buses this will never get this content. and then members again their grandma came to us one day and said now i want to learn to read. and i said grandma you can't teach that to yourself i'll help you and so we got started i have. the image of a family lives at the east and end of turkey on lake fun near the border to iran and one of the country's poorest provinces there members of the kurdish minority sunni immigrant didn't learn to speak turkish until she was grown her husband was rarely at home he earned his money as a migrant construction worker their son seemed destined for the same but the deeply religious as lee in a veil was determined to give their children a better life. you know exactly we couldn't even afford curtains you know to the

streets to own children to just go to school but we wanted the children to go to school even though we had to buy school uniforms and books for them to do the cubicle is all of this often we didn't even have the money for a basic notebook those who did this they had to count every single lira but they managed to put their children through school 9 of the kids graduated from high school and went on to college the youngest son is still in high school. now their mother wants to be able to read books too and the strong mother of van province has been praised in the turkish media for her courage and determination her husband is proud of their children success through the whole of the villagers would talk behind our backs because we sent our daughters to school sure we never paid any money into that all of our 5 daughters of all graduated from school well almost 4 of them are to. teachers and one became

a nurse not normal to tell us it doesn't shooter as a youth this on dukan had to help at the construction site like his brothers today he's a cardiologist at the van city hospital he put himself through medical school working with his father during the vacations with a single tweet about his mother's thirst for knowledge he made his family an overnight sensation across turkey. with my mother's story reflects the social and economic reality in turkey that's probably why it drew so much attention many turks see themselves in her book and many families have gone through much the same things we did that some of them of had an even harder time. 3 decades ago one out of 3 women in turkey were illiterate today the rate has been cut to 6 percent most who can't read and write older women in rural areas like us the imagery of the images escape poverty through education to thank their mother her

sons have built her a modern house but she still prefers to bake bread in the to born or clay oven in the courtyard the way she used to in the village. the children come to visit their parents as many weekends as they can they say that from their mother they learned discipline piety and decency and pride in their origins even if that wasn't always easy but still a good costly for a school assembly for the national holiday my son once said to me please tell the teacher i'm sick people in mexico. didn't want to go because he was ashamed that he didn't have a dress shirt. i hope you don't forget things like that. which will that particularly be our mother will write a book she's gone through so much and accomplished so much. we were mostly hard times but what value would memories have if there were only about happy days. give

us the him of a had gone to school she would have liked to have become a judge now at least she plans to learn another language for that she says it's not too late. europe will soon commemorate the anniversary of the end of the 2nd world war and with the end of the holocaust photography kamel wants to keep alive the memory of the atrocities carried out by the nazi regime his project which exhibits portraits of holocaust survivors is called lest we forget for just come home it has become something of a lifetime assignment and the race against time. everything is a journey into the past the region makes portraits of holocaust survivors and records their stories like those of 86 year old.

my parents were picked up and taken to auschwitz kept for sleeps. i lost 17 family members from paris alone. they were all murdered in poland. the photographer is haunted by these terrible story. it. was for coffee and it was the talk of years nothing spectacular in and of itself to judge the encounters i have with that people didn't mince all their stories occupy me intensely they just stay in my head this has moved me so much that sometimes i couldn't sleep for days which was last record until. we reach the top scan to searches for holocaust survivors around the world here in paris he's met 4 of them who miss photographing in their homes he uses a ring light in the photo sessions in makes the faces appear softer of the bright

light remain some of his subjects to interrogations 95 year old jeannette clinker who survived the ocean it's birkenau concentration camp unlike her little brother and her father idle luigi toscano is intently focused on his work each photo shoot guys only take several minutes ok so. afterwards she met clinkers life story is recorded like many jews in france she long remain such has been didn't know. stephen spielberg was looking for witnesses for the film schindler's list. after that she began to get school classes through. on i mean once you've been in p.r. canal you're marked for life the right action even if you were lucky enough to come out alive and we were sent to be economic to die at the economic because hitler

wanted to kill all the jews of europe you got that we're focusing in on him show us new easy to scan new things each encounter challenging in its own way. he intentionally keeps his distance and not just during the korean a pandemic. i think relatively secure i'm fairly certain that if we were allowed to we would hug each other to diffuse them off the thought and there's this sense of powerlessness that human beings had to suffer so dreadfully you feel it in your bones and it's really painful. shroud softer than all. the neck clinkers portrayed in story and no 2 in the world along with many others the photographs are shown on streets in public spaces rather than in museums they were intended to provoke the ricci to scandal lives and come.
