at the entrance to the hospital patients like to see stone trolleys. leave. do something and these these. people leave you believe it to be with you. at the beginning of the year indian prime minister narendra modi declared the country had beaten the virus with it saw an upcoming elections the government allowed huge political rallies to go ahead. and despite rapidly rising infections it also permitted millions to gather for the khomeini the largest religious gathering in the world where hindu pilgrims pay than the river ganges gatherings are now limited to $500.00 people but the fires has already spread rapidly scientists are fearful about the weeks ahead only 10 percent of the population has been vaccinated. however you think that if the government should send people to or to do or to vaccinate they should concentrate on the us germany's
1:04 pm
among the country sending urgently needed medical supplies as india comes to grips with the scale of the catastrophe. for more on this story i'm joined by professor of physics and biology university. yeah just last month the health minister said india was in the endgame of the pandemic today it's in global records infection so what's gone wrong. i think no one anticipated the lost city in the speed with which knew their eons would take with the existing landscape in india i think much of the increase in cases that we've seen beyond february can be attributed to multiple knew of it in the u.k. variant a new bit in called the 1617 in much of the state of shock and different events across the country all of that seem to have taken off at about the same time it's really the pressure of cases coming from the that is completely definite in the public health system at the moment in the examples that you saw professor you are
1:05 pm
an expert in modeling infectious diseases when do you expect this massive wave to peak most models as if it will take at least another 2 to 3 weeks so with. the ground attend to the 15th of may is the best guess at the moment there are some encouraging thing in the city of bombay which have been hard hit by the week by the current of a 3rd year we're already seeing interest in decline for both weak knowledge cases but to compensate that another part of the country kids numbers are right and we have to see what happens over and on the 10 which is a national help is coming in you think it's going to be enough to reserve reverse the now. at this stage we need really to make sure the patients who are desperately ill get the oxygen get the medication that they need in hospital that you can see have been running out of this throughout the country whether this will have a longer term impact would be enough to stand the deaths that are going to happen
1:06 pm
in the next couple of days is anyone's guess my feeling would be no but we'd have to see. last week i spoke to director of number of clinics across india and he told me that the supply chain would be a massive problem as well do you see that is that one of the main reasons. that is the nature of the we have multiple states in the country no wonder you have to sections on plates and to get medication to get up that it is remote it is of the country will continue to be a problem in these countries have started these states have been historically underserved especially in the far reaches of india and death and if the will continue to be neglected i fear in the next few months so it's not the government's job to improve things. it is the government's job and in principle we should use the 10 between the beat that we saw in september in the months before that as well
1:07 pm
as the months after that to try to strengthen the central structure put really we this is so trying to reverse the vote 50 to 30 years that neglect of the public health system that is partly to perform very well but there are other parts that it has you could be especially attention to the house interaction asian template going . to currently bethany to down 140000000000 of our people which is a little less than 10 percent of the population the number of people with 2 shots of the vaccine we have to short of actually then indeed it's probably less than about 2 percent so we're moving slowly we need to move much faster and now the supply of that theme is critical that slowing down. some of the professor of physics and biology at a shocking university thank you very much for the time you. let's turn now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world funerals have been held for some of the 82 victims of a hospital foreign backed officials say the blaze broke out when an oxygen tank exploded so it was treating some of the city's most severe cold with 19 cases
1:08 pm
families of victims say negligence and corruption contributed to the disaster. relatives have been holding memorials for the victims of indonesia's submarine disaster the military officially announced the death of all 53 crewmembers on sunday the wreckage was found at the bottom of the bally's sea after a 4 day search it's not clear why the navy submarine sank to the ocean as. a massive sandstorm swept through northern china in among golyer region on sunday cities were hit by a wall of blowing sand stretching hundreds of meters authorities advised the public to take precautions against every winds and poor visibility until the storm lets up on monday morning. a court in russia has formally suspended the activity of jailed kremlin critic i've seen of on his anticorruption foundation and its regional
1:09 pm
network according to a statement by nevada he's in the van his group state prosecutors in moscow has requested the suspension pending a decision to designate a bunny's opposition group as extremist this nationwide suspension because another blow to the kremlin critics movement. right now let's cross over to do that we have correspondent aaron tilt in moscow on what consequences does this. well it basically suspends the work of all these anti-corruption foundation in the broader russian federation moving forward and if the designation as an extremist organization is upheld it would basically bring them in line with extremist groups like far right groups terrorist organizations or neo nazi groups that would effectively banned their symbols banned their work and would also please criminal penalties on people working within the organization now the higher ups in the organization could face multi-year jail terms moving forward if they continue to work for the anti-corruption foundation and i think even more
1:10 pm
chilling than that people out there at the grassroots level the ground level could also be face seen jail terms if they continue to work for the anti-corruption foundation now it comes at a critical time for the country and is a real critical blow for the anti-corruption foundation moving towards this fall's elections so what's the motivation behind this. well it really seems that putin a more broadly the russian government has kind of run out of patience both with election of all me and also with the anti-corruption foundation you have to remember they're not only a group which helps prosecute what they see is widespread endemic corruption within the russian government they're also a potent political force really kind of rallying support against the kremlin throughout the country at the grassroots level now they have 37 bureaus distributed throughout the country and they've really managed to use those grassroots networks to really bring people out on the street to protest against the government that's part of the reason we've seen such an unprecedented wave of support throughout the country outside of the more liberal centers like moscow and st petersburg and this
1:11 pm
is a precedent especially critical moving towards this fall's election now last time around with their intelligent voting system they were able to not necessarily challenge lenin put in power but give him and his party kind of a black tie in the elections and it seems that at least this time around they don't want to take another chance of getting another black eye after the elections so what are the options now for the. well not all of these team in the end to corruption foundation more broadly have said they plan for all possible contingencies now we don't know specifically what their plan for this contingency was but one model that they're likely to discuss is actually moving the organization of broad now we've seen other operatives in aligned media and political figures like me on what are called ski for example move abroad in attempt to continue with their work from a neutral country however as i was saying earlier it's really kind of that grassroots support which has propelled evolving and his team to such success in recent years and it's kind of an open question whether or not they would be able to
1:12 pm
continue that type of grassroots organization from abroad so right now we don't specifically know what their plans are but will likely to see some type of action from their side in the coming days or weeks. briefly what's the latest on the volley himself as you did. well we know that not only has ended or is in the process of ending his hunger strike now he's still complaining about pain in his back and numbness in his limbs now he has said that he's been seen by doctors he trusted and they have suggested that he actually need specialist care and that he would move to moscow they say some of the pain and the numbness may be in connection to his know which are poisoning last year and they think that he could be best treated by specialists in moscow as he continues to recuperate right now that doesn't really seem to be like a likely move the government's not likely to allow that but they are repeatedly and have repeatedly called for of all need to receive specialist treatment here in moscow. correspondent in moscow thank you don. thank you
1:13 pm
and a similar story now is going to turkey where a trial for a prominent pro kurdish politician began. was the leader of the page d p party that destroyed president out of parliamentary majority he has numerous charges against him and has been in court several times the opposition politician has been behind bars for more than 4 years now despite consistent international pressure and a ruling by the european court of human rights ordering his release. in 2015 at the height of his political success a free man as co-chair of the program h d p he delivered a dramatic blow to president dredge of tired and one the h d p one enough seeds to destroy the parliamentary majority of edwin's ruling a k party. he was arrested the following year beginning an odyssey of court cases and appeals that have kept him behind bars ever since the
1:14 pm
truth my husband is in jail because he and his party have been fighting for equality for democracy and for peace here in the country he mounted an effective opposition this is his only crime to the turkish government on the other hand sees the h d p as the political arm of the militant p k k which it considers a terrorist organization and. as an enemy of the state. his prolonged detention has been met by protests the 40 year old faces dozens of separate charges ranging from being a member of a terrorist organization to quote disrupting the unity and integrity of the state. he faces multiple life sentences. who share with each unwanted it is not possible to predict what will happen because there is no rule of law in this country and the judiciary is under heavy pressure but no. meto what happens at
1:15 pm
court we will continue our struggle for the truth. during a recent visit to uncurl e.u. commission she fundal line urged president add one to take action on a ruling by the european court of human rights in december the court again order turkey to immediately released from jail. we have been for example discussing the fact that the european court of human rights was clear and is clear. to much ash. and that. as a founding member of the european council it is important that turkey respects the rulings of the european court of human rights. turkey has so far ignored such calls and while remains in jail has h d p the 3rd largest party in the turkish parliament risks being shut down.
1:16 pm
now let's cross over to. this report. he denies has been in jail for years now. several trials on different charges so what are the actual charges now. well today mr dean is actually one of more than 100 people who are on trial in the turkish capital many of them are members of the left is pro kurdish opposition party here in turkey the h d p they have been trial for their alleged role in the so-called cold bonnie protests which happened nearly 7 years ago back in 2014 back then the predominantly kurdish town of course bonnie just across the border in syria was under siege by isis jihadists and the h.p. had called for protests in support of the people of course bonnie but these demonstrations that turned into violence between protesters and police dozens of people were killed back then turkish authorities now accuse the h.e.p.a.
1:17 pm
of having incited the deadly violence and the defendants are charged with among others that may quote disrupting the unity and integrity of the state this is a very serious charge that's why they are facing multiple aggravated life sentences thousands of years in jail possibly mr david harsh and his h.p. on the other hand say this is a politically motivated trial it is the government of president edwin who is trying to keep mr dean in jail and to silence the party. also with the left wing pro quo. is at risk to be shut down how likely is that. well some observers actually say it's quite surprising that this party still exists because it has been targeted in a years long crackdown thousands of its members and officials have been jailed a lawyer is lawmakers and mayors have been on see to it and this is because as i
1:18 pm
mentioned the turkish government views the h.p. as linked to the militant p k k which is considered a terrorist organization not just here in turkey but also in the u.s. and in the european union and then last month prosecutors even filed a closure case against the h.t.t.p. that trial has not started yet but it's likely that prosecutors will nit not give up with this case critics say this is basically because president ed want to end his ruling a.k.p. are losing popular support because of the bout economic situation here in turkey and it's their strategy now to go off to the opposition to make sure that they themselves can stay in power our correspondent in istanbul thank you. holywood finally got to roll out the red carpet for the film industry's biggest night of the year and in stark contrast to previous years the 93rd try to me awards
1:19 pm
so a very diverse lineup of nominees and indeed women as 2 of the top prizes went to chinese born clearly a job oh she made history as the 1st woman of color to take home the best director tools. road movie no man's land struck a chord with the academy who turned into the evening's. from the center of hollywood prepared demick to the main los angeles train station mid pandemic a nice room though where this happened. oh that was this year's oscars best actress frances mcdormand who had the star role in the best picture of 2020 no man's land a tale of down and out americans living on the road. and the all scores to. 0 is 0 momenta round.
1:20 pm
it was directed by china born chloe's out the 1st asian woman to take home the best director award. this is for anyone who have the faith and the courage to hold on to the goodness in themselves in a delayed intimate event in a socially distant space the winners were a diverse group far more than years past and the oscar goes to. take korean years union who took home the best supporting actress award. oh i'd like to thank to my 2 boys who will make me pull out and. so. did our son oh i didn't know if. this is because mommy will. also picking up a statuette the movie judas and the black messiah as supporting actor daniel kaluga
1:21 pm
who in his youthful way offered to wait what moments including my mom that. it's amazing let's just sit over here you mean so i'm so happy to be alive so it was a really that's a nice. you are probably at a diverse array of reactions to the top honors amidst a diverse array of nominees and winners. on the hollywood's biggest night let's bring in our resident movie buff scott rocks for scott tell us more about this best film why was wasn't so convincing apparently for the academy. yeah i think the no man's land was the big winner at the oscars because it really speaks to this moment in time i mean after the year of the pandemic i think a lot of people around the world but also in america are feeling vulnerable and maybe starting to question the assumptions of their life and that's sort of what no
1:22 pm
man's land is about it's about a woman who has lost everything and is living out of her van traveling around as a modern day nomad and i think after this year that we've been through that a lot of people in the academy who voted for the oscars really felt something felt in touch with with this story and particularly with incredible performance by frances mcdormand. little surprise that she wanted any surprises the other when is this you. well the very big surprise came at the end now in an unusual move the oscar organizers put the best actor prize at the very end usually that's reserved for best picture but i think they were assuming like we all were that the late chadwick boseman would win an oscar he died last year and he was nominated for his final performance in ma rainey's black bottom but when the actor or ward was announced it was anthony hopkins who won so what was seen to be planned as a as a dramatic and emotional moment to end the oscars end up being a bit of
1:23 pm
a damp squid especially since anthony hopkins wasn't even there to accept his prize so in the process. as we all remember have been heavily criticized of being too white's about has that changed now for good faith well it's changed a bit i mean we saw that chloe as you said is the 1st asian woman to win a best picture and to win best director we saw 2 actors of color in the among the winners and some people of color in the technical awards which has never happened before but let's put this in perspective of the around 40 people who won oscars this year 25 of them were still white men so i think there's still a long way to go. to my next question how did women do across the board. yes very well i mean chloe was the only the 2nd woman to win best picture and best director and i think she did it with a film that was very female centric which i think is interesting also. finale who won best original screenplay for a promising young woman again this is
1:24 pm
a very female centric story and i think that's the interesting thing that's changed with the oscars not only that women directors and talent are starting to win but that they're doing so with stories that are told from a very female perspective. so what do you think what kind of feel have the ceremony on the pandemic conditions. yeah it was definitely different i mean as you saw the main ceremony took place in union station which is the main train station in downtown l.a. a very different look for the oscars in general the tone was a bit more somber a bit more downplayed it wasn't the glitz and glam that we're used to except for the best actor. flub at the end which seemed to end the. ceremony on a bit of a down note i thought it was it did work but for these unusual times but i think everybody is wishing that we get back to the normal red carpet glamour oscars next year hopefully. thank you very much. i'm from

nurtured sneer japan's film and nuclear reactor in fukushima. in many countries nuclear power is still seen as a safe cheap source of energy currently 443 nuclear reactors produce energy worldwide more than 100 nuclear power stations are under construction or in planning yet there's still no real solution for nuclear waste that needs to be stored safely for up to a 1000000 years. since nuclear energy began being used peacefully in the 1950 s. there have been at least 12 major incidents worldwide 2 of them were catastrophic chernobyl in ukraine in 1986 and fukushima in japan in 2011 both involved coal melted accidents where reactors exploded and contaminating vast areas
1:32 pm

1:33 pm
3 of the cows survived the initial disaster fleeing to the hills where they nearly starved to death only to be reunited years later at the fonz that's a beautiful any built from. that i think they immediately started moving and getting close enough to lick each other as if to say you survived was that because it sets a kitani came from tokyo to help her work keeping the cows alive is financed through donations the animals in the desolate region with its invisible radiation generate neither jobs no profit sets of kitani says the cows are doing well but people are only allowed into the exclusion zone for an hour at a time. for madonna today i don't really think of myself 1st since i'm not really afraid it's been that way for a while i precisely calculate my own radiation dose right here fast there. is a ghost town before the disaster more than 10000 people lived here today it's less

1:35 pm
thinks it said. there was nothing here before we took an effort to make all this whoever built this is a fool all the way most of all not all. the radiation is measured the strawberries are safe to eat but selling them outside the region is difficult as the area's reputation is also contaminated. there's no hiding what happened here rows and rows of bags storing contaminated radioactive material. before leaving the exclusion zone so that's a key time these radiation must be measured. residents here will live this way for decades to come but. still tiny defies the naysayers who dismiss her as the crazy cow lady but. this i know yourself there are a few truths about me. i'm a newcomer i'm young and foolish and i'm

same as it once were. prostitution is a global phenomenon if banned in a country it's simply goes underground if it's permitted his just more visible it's hard to know how many sex workers there are worldwide estimates range between 13000000 and 40000000 sex work usually takes place on the edge of the law the united nations says more than half of all global human trafficking is related to it many women and girls are led into sexual slavery with false promises of a better life. this is the red light district of sangli in southwestern india sex workers here have up to 60 customers a night. in this region an old hindu religious practice is still widespread the devil the system. young girls are offered in marriage to a daisy and then
1:38 pm
