at this moment in order to win this battle we must listen to scientists. for several days running the indian government has reported more than $300000.00 new infections but experts say the true toll is much higher. doctors worry the recent search has been fueled by a new variant this one composed of 2 while the more infectious and vaccine resistant versions of the virus health experts fear the result could be a virus that's fast spreading and less controllable the european union is planning to send medicines and oxygen the e.u. commission a slip on the line says the block is pooling resources to respond to india's requests for assistance. and this weekend india's air force collected oxygen containers from singapore. as delhi bureau chief unrated shima joins

us now for more on the dire situation in india. we're seeing so much suffering across the country in our report of course just shows a very small picture of the devastating situation how did things get to this point . now you know under sequential many people are asking themselves here in india you know india group relative to the 1st and to me the numbers of infections that started winning dramatically the vaccine drive had kicked up by the beginning of the year and that created a false sense of security both within the public as well as the authorities you know politicians and governments going to structed by a series of elections with huge campaign trannies then you have these big religious gatherings with no semblance of social distancing and all the potential of turning into soup but spreading events that sent the wrong message of the people themselves became complacent and even casual and then came the 2nd wave with its variance it's

mutants w. to the school or community is much more deadly much more contagious than the idea of mind this and that's where india now finds itself. well we heard the government saying that people should be patient but how do people feel do they feel that authorities have failed to protect the citizens of india will certainly do and who lost loved ones mariana will be tempted to think this way people less the medical infrastructure that the mainstream trying to get relatives into hospitals seeing their loved ones died because there's noxon of the universe you must be asking you know just why didn't the government anticipate this there had been secondly is it because leaves in other parts of the world why not india the government is not the scrambling to do everything it can but precious time has been lost and it's coming

too late well one measure that authorities have now implemented is an extended a lockdown in the capital delhi where you are but. as we know delhi has a population of 20000000 people what kind of an impact does this official lockdown even have in a city like this. you know you know there's a lot of release it on the other barriers which it be done in even though it may not be a dozen people are worried. and therefore i think people are i think people are being much more cautious and all that complacency in casual is that. has evaporated . we appreciate your reporting thank you so much. all right let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world. are being held for the more than 80 people who died in a fire at a baghdad hospital the blaze swept through the intensive care unit where coded 1000

the summer olympics. well today is a world malaria day and new hope is on the horizon in the fight against one of the world's deadliest diseases promising new vaccines are proving effective against malaria they're based on and are a technology like that used in pfizer's cove in 1000 shot scientists say they could help reverse the reemergence of malaria in many parts of the world. malaria hits children the hardest the disease is spread by mosquitoes but it's preventable and treatable. according to the w.h.o. 21 countries eliminated malaria in the last 2 decades. but due to the current a pandemic it's harder for patients to be seen by doctors and be tested and diagnosed if you have a malaria infection especially if you're a child or pregnant woman and you don't get adequate treatment quickly then you can

die barrier. was severe and from the child being quite well to being dead within 24 hours. malaria symptoms also complicate matters as fever is one of the main indicator is just like to cope with 19 another hurdle for medical care. mosquito nets 52 to controlling the spread of the disease a given out in a house by house basis not ideal during a pandemic. malaria is spreading and the current vaccine is a new 40 percent effective of a new candidate has just been shown to be highly effective in trials human trials for malaria vaccines using m r n a technology similar to that used against cove it on the horizon. so there's a chance that covert 19 could not only make the malaria epidemic worse it could also shed light on how to end it.

earlier we spoke to dr richard b. of cholera he's a professor at yale school of medicine in connecticut he explained to us how this new generation of anti malaria drugs work. the vaccine that we are working on which is still pre-clinical it's an animal testing taken just takes advantage of a gene that we discovered about 10 years ago that's produced by the malaria parasite that acts to suppress the immune response to the parasite and so our vaccine takes advantage of this protein product called pm if and by vaccinate against it the host can clear the infection on its own and we combine this vaccine an agenda with a new type of r.n.a. called self amplifying arni in many ways it's a 2nd generation of the m.r. in a vaccines currently used for covert because it persists at the injection site for about 6 to 8 weeks so you can inject

a very small amounts it can print be produced much more quickly a much lower cost $1.00 can make about a 1000000 human doses in a liter of synthetic cell free fluid so it would be potentially much easier to distribute much less expensive and it could be produced at sites around the world in a military affected countries. that was dr richard view college professor at yale school of medicine speaking to a short time ago. now here in germany authorities are switching gears in the fight against the pandemic after months of struggling to contain a severe 3rd wave of the virus titer national restrictions were put in place this weekend including a controversial overnight curfew i reporter kate brady was out in the capital berlin to see what it's like. it's saturday night in berlin friedrichs kind of

strict with just minutes to go before the new curfew kicks in at 10 pm enough time to grab a quick beer all some late night food for the road. right of here was the clock strikes 10 many local shops begin to roll down the shots as minutes later police arrive to clear structureless from the square. according to federal rules repeated violators of the measures risk a hefty fine of up to 25000 euros for most tonight it's just a polite request to head home the restrictions on movement during the late hours have been met with mixed response and. it's annoying. he was the. last of. the day we accept it but we can completely understand it. i don't think people infected each other so much outside dimensions as. i think people will just go home together and

partying that that's a problem for the spread of the infection and it's counterproductive trouble by public transport or by car is only 10 pm and midnight walks and runs are also still out including for germany's 4 legged residents now the question remains exactly how long will this even be allowed to stay in place with several constitutional complaints around the. country threatening to already bring the measure to an end should germany's constitutional court indeed rule that the curfew is a lawful it would be a huge blow not least of all to german chancellor angela merkel who has been pushing for. a more uniform response to the pandemic. for now though there will be many quiet tonight in berlin and beyond. all right but in this league a soccer now and dortmund beat both worked to nail to keep their champions league hopes alive thanks to a pair of goals from erlend holland

a major blunder who've set the ball straight to holland who needed no 2nd invitation to open the scoring it was the young norwegians 24th goal of the season and with dortmund a man down of the 2nd half holland netted his 25th the 2nd most in the league there was no stopping him as he barreled forward with only the keeper to beat. all right let's have a look at all the thinking results so far on match day 31 so rb live saying beached gart which means byron munich won't win the title until at least the next match day laver who isn't a feat at frankfurt minds upset by iron dark one to down votes for when you're on berlin defeated braman and freiburg share the spoils with hoffenheim on friday cologne snuck past for work under way now versus beat a fed and due to heritage berlin's covert corps in teen its clash with shell is

hear that in the southern chinese town of multis also the name of the liquor produced here the multi distillery is china's most valuable company worth more than the country's biggest back china's political elite is partially to it and yes some of the bottles cost several $100.00 euros you says they are the perfect gift to greeks that we did your talent we are corrupt officials prefer multimeters they only drink the most expensive brands and this alcohol is the most expensive and their love for it lets the prices rise even more jaguars will be the one that. the liquor factory takes up large swaths of multi-ton and many more are trying to profit from the big name within sight of the state owned giant is the distillery a family business. customers and people in the industry know that there's a limit to the production capacity of matai that's where we come in the government

lets us follow the lead of the mt i company and profit from them that brings in some wealth to us people here of what. his company uses this same distilling techniques grain is ferment it in earth it's the pits give it a pungent aroma minnes and of soy sauce many people outside of china find it hard to swallow. the mashes fermented in a dry state during the distillation process steam passes through the mash and releases the. willing says the liquor mostly to individuals as well as companies that produce special editions for weddings and company and a verse reveals. the intimate relationship between china's communists and the spicy liquor began in the 1930 s. when communist troops hid in the area from their nationalist inverse 3 years.

after they came to power they turned the factory into a state owned enterprise. so i could provide them with. you about 5 diets procreative the factory. and the owner who refused to hand over his business was executed for. these close links to the ready lead have called the all whose attention he's been tipped off that model type also produces in a neighboring town the violation or through his own geographic origin so he goes to take a look. he finds the company is constructing vast production facilities there. near england and nobody cares what they do here and it's as if the government agencies which should control him don't exist. it's another piece of evidence for the book he is planning to write and china's most valuable company.

in italy has one of the lowest birth rates in all of europe and it has been steadily declining for more than a century now the coronavirus pandemic is causing many italians to think about putting off having children. but children's playground eerily quiet the numbers are out italians are having far fewer babies during the pain that. they too have had to put their family planning on hold more in adventure and so just bought a new home in a suburb of baghdad a big step for the young couple and everything is ready for the next. quest. this will be the children's room that has yet to be set up we want to put in one or 2 beds depending on the size. we also have some space downstairs which could become another room for the children. and when i thought i had.

been chance and moreno were. getting married last summer before there but they had to postpone because of the pandemic and having kids before marriage for the 2 devout catholics was not an option glad of the union they had asked in a funny. thing for us marriage means union and creating a family of our own marriage home family and children moving was supposed to be after the wedding but we had a switch with our party on the. while the individual reasons differ the situation is emblematic for hundreds of thousands of couples across the nation wanting to have children. it is too early to determine with certainty what exactly is causing italian numbers to drop even further says sociologist giuliani villainy the pandemic is likely affecting couple sex life but more importantly financial security seems to be the driving factor in the decision not to have kids. i think to tell young

a young capos are becoming much more economic rationale that then emotional and convinced that it's important to have another child so there may be more worried about the future of children buying a house postponing marriage while working full time for the moment chance with morena have a lot on their plate but that hasn't changed their wish to start a family of their own has soon as the time is right. to meet us more than half of all adults have now received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine this is why some venues in new york are able to open their doors to audiences again. new yorkers are finally getting the opportunity again to pursue one of their favorite pastimes standing in line. at the i'm really excited to say that we can the city again as we

always knew it. it's pretty pretty exciting but you can feel the feel the energy ok they're not actually excited about queuing up but rather that after a year of zoo meetings and elbow bumps they're about to see a live show at one of the city's most iconic entertainment venues the comedy cellar in manhattan it's greenwich village. the comedy cellar is hosted nearly all the trades greats over the decades but like most venues it's been shuttered for more than a year now it's open again but at just 33 percent capacity in accordance with new york's regulations no covert 1000 test is required to enter and neither are masks when seated the club's owner is cautiously optimistic the venue will stay open now for good so i don't expect things to turn bad now they're back said he will very very quickly i think it's going to be ok. i hope it's ok you know if it's not i

hope they'll shut us down again you know they should do what they need to do despite rising case numbers the risk of aerosols and virus variants the comedians in the audience breathe a sigh of relief and yeah there will be jokes about the pandemic. for the comedians for me if i thought it to talk about this stuff. to just say what i was going through and then i think for the audience it's not just. identifying interrelating about is one level and that's huge too but also just being with other people physically being around people around your peers and some social setting that itself is as important and gradually there are more and more places for new yorkers to do that restaurants are allowed to host patrons indoors at half capacity most of the city's museums have been open for months and now major sports venues are also welcoming fans again. as tourists are returning to new york

a so-called vaccination passport could be an important tool to bring back major attractions like broadway most theaters here are saying they won't reopen until all seats can be filled they're hoping sometime in the fall or winter. but for now it's spring and new yorkers are enjoying their newfound freedom in the sun after a year in isolation so. honest in the u.k. are also struggling to to pandemic restrictions but an example in london shows how some are making the most of the situation and opera singer is helping people heal from long term cope with 19 with breathing and singing exercises. blowing bubbles to help with. susie doing basic training. she has developed special greeting exercises for covert patients and for some of

them it's a bit too hard work at the moment but what it does is it just allows your voice a little bit of a chance to unpressed. she says it's thanks to susie that she feels well again and is able to take a few hobbies just a year ago she was suffering from a lung infection and needed oxygen. 3 months on i remember feeling so fatigued breathless. i mean literally from my bed to the bathroom i would just get breathless. shiba never dreamed that of all people sing us from the english national opera would be the ones to help a brief arm stand to show the height in weekly zoom sessions participants learn to relax and improve that posture and most of old to breathe and just hove that from

men we think a lot about breathing down because if you're breathing you're taking in lots of that and actually tend not to be extending the so just giving people tools to slow things down and get them in a moment is really out of. this. now being part of a group is hugely important. and stress. and . i could have never imagined coming out of that darkness all by myself so it's been a huge support system for me it's like my family now we had i guess you can say a common purpose to get better and what bit more beautiful way to single. out and heal them at the same time sound. shiba

dreams of singing on a real opera stage together with others like us and that dream could come true pain was as soon as colby prescriptions allowed the international opera plans to stage if very special opera. for the patients in atlanta breathe a can of. the air the. it's lawyer. culture.
