desperately need treatment. in delhi animesh kumar is looking after a family member they've been turned away from 2 hospitals already. altered in oxygen and the ambulance is running out his condition a serious west standing here in the middle of the road without oxygen or hope hospitals too are running out of oxygen they are already caring for 70 patients with kovac 19 that wards a full. the few deliveries that do arrive are simply not enough. the government is rushing to open new caves at 19 wards like this one a brand new center in delhi they say even more beds will be available soon. where working on increasing the number of. oxygen beds on

a large scale are there. within the next few days we will increase the capacity to see fowls and to 5000 beds and. we are also preparing $200.00 beds at the intensive care unit will that be they got in and out as long as that's and. oh but new hospital wards come too late for many victims of covert 19. that last commission sites like this one outside the capital delhi. the pandemics christly told is clear. were earlier i spoke to newton's in a senior research fellow at the life and its center for modern oriental studies here in berlin and i asked him if the indian government has made mistakes given the number of new infections and the overwhelmed hospitals that we're seeing now. it's

really a grim situation not what we are hearing or seeing what's happening in india. definitely it can be said now in hindsight after one the government was caught unprepared and. the more bloody park is there but have the action and mr dean of the goodman was willingly sort of very confused and contradictory so give us some concrete examples in 50 this year kind of line at this ng devoted to konami forum mr modi almost since language elected that coroner has been concluded in india next month in march the health minister of india he said. the game of if i can put one up in the election rallies were organized massive crowds got 3rd then we saw this hindu festival. with colors and some people. in lax so all this actually could have been prevented. from from such gatherings taking

place now what is the new body i mean i'm very glad to hear the recent. decent actors of prime mr modi to do mission when the ask the people to listen to the scientists now a report has come out that the national scientific force which was created last year and then the cases were rising to see it in february this past board had never made a single die in months of 5000000000 march so the question which needs to be asked is was the government listening to decide to pick community and these are some of the video buddy dreams which delayed definitely to listen see respect in india government action and messaging as well as some really glaring belittle neglect that is my impression after the. that was needed in xin home with the center for modern oriental studies here in berlin the german chancellor angela

merkel has confirmed that germany is sending medical aid and supplies to india as part of an international effort to bring the covert 19 crisis they're under control given that and then and then all will work with other countries to ensure that we can help india then we are working hard on finding ways to get oxygen production facilities that the whole of europe is working on that and i also discussed this with the prime minister of portugal today currently holding the e.u. presidency we want to do everything we can to help india. german. chancellor merkel met today. in germany to discuss the country's vaccination drop the pace of vaccinations was excruciating only slow at the store but things are picking up there is a chance that germany may open up its bernstein offering to everyone by the start

of june. chancellor and get america's dup to a meeting of hope the situation in germany remains serious with daily kovan 1000 cases still alarmingly high and the number of coronavirus patients in intensive care still growing but the vaccination drive is picking up speed so much so that germany may soon be able to offer vaccines to everyone not only those that high risk. on the whole we expect the people in the high priority group will be vaccinated by the end of may. that means that depending on how many vaccine doses we get we can abandon the priority list as of june at the latest. this is not mean that everyone can be vaccinated immediately but that everyone can make an appointment. after a slow start during the 1st few months of the year now around 23 percent of germany's population has received the 1st dose that's thanks to an increase in

deliveries more reliable supply chains and family doctors now also administering the shot. with more and more people vaccinated the debate on whether they should enjoy more freedom from restrictions is also mounting chancellor merkel said the government is preparing legislation to ease some measures those who have been fully vaccinated or those who have recovered from kovan 1000 should be exempted from having to get tests to go to non-essential shops or from quarantining after returning from abroad they were still however have to continue following the mask and so. distancing rules. notice from this provision i think that's unfair a more nuanced solution must be found. it is absolutely clear to me that people who have been vaccinated must get their basic rights back it's not a question of whether they get special rights but that they can live normally again . i think it's good but it's a pity that it's not my turn yet but her turn may not be far off chance and

america's promise to offer every adult in germany a vaccine by the end of the summer seemed impossible to many only a few weeks ago now hopes are high that or pledge will be met. turkey is planning the strictest curbs on public life yet to combat the coronavirus pandemic turkey's president richard pryor pair to one announcing what he calls a nationwide full lockdown no it starts this thursday and is set to last until the middle of may authorities are ramping up restrictions after curfews and weekend lock downs failed to reduce nuking soused of corona virus infections quickly enough the number of new daily coronavirus infections soared to record levels in mid april but have since fall when in the last 24 hours more than 37000 people across the country were infected with the coronavirus. we want to bring in

our correspondent dorian jones he is in is stamboul good evening to you dorian let's just walk us through these new restrictions and this new walked out. well it's awaiting the full details all of these restrictions but what we understand of the moment is that all schools will now be closed including kindergartens school exams have been indefinitely postponed factories non-essential factories will also be shuttered although it's unclear what is considered non-essential and all into city travel will be ended requiring special permission to travel has led to a mask ramble of people trying to get back home travel websites we have reports of being overloaded and collapsing due to the surge in demand and turkey's national air carrier took your lines has yet to announce its details on travel because they still waiting for directives underlining to appear to be a last minute decision and this comes with this unprecedented surge in infections and running around 354-0000 making turkey the highest rate of infection in europe

and as a percentage of the population it ranks on the highest in the world and that follows present no one to controversial decision early to shoot to ease restrictions in spite of warnings from doctors and even held a series of not local rallies all across the country parallels of india there and that is plain for this major surgeon infection dorie you have been living in turkey for many years put this into context for you how do people feel about what is about to happen in terms of a walk down have you seen anything like this before. but i know this is on president and really there are mixed emotions into businesses small businesses this could be the final nail in the coffin for their businesses they've been struggling for well over a year here to survive but these unprecedented restrictions could finish many companies turkey's unemployment is surging unofficial levels put it over 25 percent so for many people there is desperation there is poverty in this country people are strong. being many people to find food every day to survive this is

a major coming from an opposition is all across the country and by the same time there is a recognition that there is a need for restrictions people snow people you speak to all know if someone is seriously ill from come of it and with the situation in images of what is happening in india the fear is that the fact would come to turkey turkey has a robust hospital service but there is an awareness that is facing breaking point quoting to turkey's medical association that is why i think it's a recognition that there's a need for restrictions but everyone is aware it's going to be a very tough time ahead. dorian jones in stamboul ahead of that lockdown that's coming to turkey this week story and thank you. well here's a look now at some more of today's pandemic developments the united states will start sharing up to 16000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine with other countries in the next few weeks the shot is not yet authorized for use in the u.s. the u.s. is come under pressure to share more of its vaccine supply with the rest of the

world the european union meanwhile is suing astra zeneca over delays in deliveries after the company reduced its supply commitment by 2 thirds this year and hong kong and singapore have confirmed that they are launching a travel bubble in may travelers will be allowed to fly between the cities without going into quarantine if they meet strict requirements. all right now to italy which recorded the 2nd highest death toll from code 19 in europe and one of the largest in the world but there seems to be some signs of hope with infection rates dropping 3 quarters of italy's regions have now eased coburg 19 restrictions and after 6 months of closures life is slowly getting back to some semblance of normal. breakfast at a coffee bar it's a tradition that italians have always embraced and now they can enjoy it once again at least at outdoor tables. the same goes for restaurants people in rome flocked to

the sidewalks for an open air lunch the excitement over the reopening was palpable . that c.l. can't should not have been cleared my schedule i'm packed with museums restaurants bars parties and nightclubs i'm not going to sit still. museums were also back in business with restrictions on the number of people allowed. as where italy is world famous tourist sites. and perhaps most important for many schools allowed in person instruction with up to 70 percent capacity. in scotland people enjoyed their 1st beers at a pub since december for now alcohol is only allowed outdoors but that still a huge and welcome change here. has been a long time coming. but going into it in the back grains to get to where we are

today the hope now is that these new freedoms are here to stay and a sign of normal life returning. our let's turn now to some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world german president. is in paris to meet french president emanuel where they will discuss european policy in the ongoing response to the code 19 crisis the visit to the french capital is president's 1st foreign trip since september and reflects the close ties between germany and france in iraq funerals have been held for some of the 82 victims of a hospital fire in baghdad officials say the blaze broke out when an oxygen tank exploded the hospital was treating some of the city's most severe cold that night scene cases exams families say negligence and corruption contributed to the disaster iran has sentenced a british iranian aid worker to another year in prison nazneen cliff has

a common cools we want to make the future and our planet safe space keep blunt. the core of the reactor exploded in april $986.00 triggering a meltdown a cloud of radioactive particles spread across europe. radioactivity can still be detected in the trees and sorely need solutions on. forest fires like during last year's drought pose another threat the flames whipped up radioactive particles that had settled creating toxic radioactive smog. it's another danger for the 1st responders from the fire brigade. i've been on judy and radioactive zones more than once when the levels rise above 1000 ulip start to burn they feel like a late very dry enough to chew out was your voice goes out. 1000 microbe this is a high level of radioactivity the fireman tells us many of his colleagues have

health problems. the catastrophe took place 35 years ago but even today people are still suffering from the consequences. of our sports now starting with football derbies been asleep. good title race has heated up unexpectedly on match day 31 of 34 rb live signal that anything less than a win at home to stuttgart would effectively hand the league title to byron munich luckily for them the visitors were in and about wise the new fun to buy and surprise last month's on saturday meant that leipzig went into this one knowing that to win would keep the championship race alive for another much day. and their task seemed simpler to 15 minutes in stuttgart sonoita a mother was sent off the young frenchman's lunch on a mature haidara looked worse with every viewing leipsic dominated proceedings thereafter but funch to keep. an unbeatable formula. the swiss made

sure it was nil nil going into the break. but coble couldn't stop like 6 and taking the lead in the 1st was said i thought i should know after effects of that but tackle to some pulled ahead or one nil leipsic. just more heroics to keep the score at one nil the but then sub emule forced a penalty within a minute of coming on after a clumsy tackle constantino smothered panos. and the sweet self was sick after 67 minutes accounted for miss of the season by late successfully or been meant to score state to know what the result mean guts european ambitions looked all but dodged while michaels men's men need to win the remaining 3 games and hope by a drop points if they are to secure the unlikeliest of titles. and rb leipzig coach julian one is in high demand german media are reporting that he plans to leave the

club to take over from an easy flick byron munich a 33 year old can cost the defending bonus league and champions around $30000000.00 euros which would be a record feat for a german league coach. current contract at leipzig runs until 2023 he made history last season by taking them all the way to the champions league final it's. now in it's going to pick up and go joining me now to talk about that from the sports mark good to see you so let me ask you. is going to buy or is he the right man for the job they are well the speculation's been raging brant since it was announced quite surprisingly the huns the flick was going to be leaving at the end of the season and not been seems to fit the profile that they're looking for places to play safe. you know he's a young up and coming manager but sure he can handle big names which they'll be plenty of obviously. and you know he's he's

a young manager as well and crucially german speaking the hierarchy were looking for a german speaker after a little bit of trouble for perhaps before with coaches like lunch a lot of you don't quite must of the language and had troubles with communication so now goes when really fits the bill across all across across the profile that they were looking for there not just what he's done really well at leipzig why isn't he just staying there and building on what he's already created. he has done very well and he's improved them year on year i mean even a hoffenheim improved team got him playing very exciting attacking football last year with leipsic taken them to uncharted territory with champions league semifinal 3rd place finish in the league this year they could even win the league still has a very slim chance but it looks like they'll get 2nd so another improvement german cup semifinal looks like he's building something but like many german managers before him the account of by owners just is just too too sick to succulent to

resist i'm sure it looks like you love it when they leave you their lives it reportedly wants what 30000000 euros your dog was but i mean how does that compare to fees for other coaches and german times as a national michael fee we've seen other coaches move. not this season before the start of next season so those moves are in place so the likes of michael who was a going to brazil dalton from engine club i was 5000000 euros was the was the compensation fee. moving from frankfurt to club by 7500000 euros so this is you know 4 or 5 times the national nickel feel as if that is correct and this is all media reports of the moment nothing is confirmed we should stress it's easy money if you have that money to spend like thank you. auction house has announced a new world record for a private cell but it's not for a rare work of art rather it's for you see them behind me a pair of sneakers designed and worn by the rapper came west his nike air
