authorities scramble to get equipment to those who need it most. in some indian hospitals the oxygen supply has run out. the people who might have survived the disease are dying as a result. of it out there there's no oxygen in all of town. so that my mother was admitted 3 days ago i was told she was fine and recovering all the tests were done then last night they said they didn't have any more oxygen she passed away. hospital's an i.c.u. units across the country are overwhelmed after weeks of a sharp rise in cases the health care system is collapsing. oxygen has become the most precious of commodities. are buying or to have a bit of

a board. you're rid of the figure come to that level. they are lowering the oxygen level. but it needs to be higher. so this is a problem. with oxygen and hospital beds running out the government is scrambling to get equipment to the areas that are hardest hit. we have compressed oxygen that's moving across the country using the country. to get it to the places that need it the most emergency supplies from the u.k. have begun arriving and more help as promised from abroad to see that after the final details have been clarified with the indian side the 1st shipment should be on its way in the next few days. but in the meantime many indians are left to fend for themselves. doing all they can to care for loved ones some dry for

hours in search of oxygen. by going on that i have come from very far to collect oxygen from my father. that i'm scared that although the oxygen is available today what will we do for it's not available tomorrow. but until help arrives on a larger scale many people in india are left gasping for air. and for more now i'm joined by tarik rabid she's a spokesperson for the world health organization in geneva switzerland thanks for being with us this morning 1st of all we've seen pictures of hospitals in india being overwhelmed for days now can you tell us whether or not the pandemic in india is peaking or could there still be worse to come there. well morning to it's very difficult to predict. how the situation will all but it's important really. for houses in india. people try to protect

themselves as much papers possible and if they follow my eyes there is being human how so aren't you as in any country when you have a sort of a combination of factors such as new variants that are likely to be more transmissible. gathering when vaccination levels are low and people are relaxing personal protective behavior we can see a new sort of explosion although we had not seen any other country on the scale that we need really to stand with with india now and try to help as much as we can what role or the new virus variants that we're hearing about in india playing in the pandemic there. well viruses are changing and this is normal

we don't need to show we are following and monitoring the changes that folk are as the virus transmitted. populations and ovulation. we have back 5 or in the preval young that have been 1st seen in in brazil in south africa and here again that are more likely to be transmissible. in a far distant way that origin or one so there is a new wanted has been done to fight you know you have preliminary studies ongoing we need to understand more but it seems that did baron as well has the capacity and potential to attach human cells more usually ducks would obviously and you need more people being infected and that would lead to more costly dollars a shows and walt that's what we need to now is really try to haunting as much as possible this transmission of trying to rule of making sure that people who are

sick are followed her advice book necessarily go to a hospital but think you are at home when possible try to isolate here so government is trying to provide the right information to a hotline there is also a consideration of having community screening right. providing information you know where bad are available in the areas of course what about the oxygen situation in india does the country have enough medical oxygen or are oxygen supplies just not getting through to the areas that need it quickly enough. well there are reports of. oxygen from the possible government. trying to increase the production oxygen in different possible because.

their air force to try to dispatch supplies were needed as you have on the site if you'll pardon there's also international mobilization. ease of use private home columns and just concentrate because as has already when you can. first don't always have already other countries like singapore russia iran also have also stock you know as well as you know european union. to do to modify some. you know use it is important to say that in the absence of drugs you know you have all you want to. marry. now oxygen ease the life saving. and we hope the shortage is who you are comes. mr david thank you very much for talking with us that was tarik rich from the world

a jump incredible recent actions everyone who wore masks at the door of band but there was no social distancing here's how it worked. on the stage in barcelona one of spain's most popular bands indie rockers love of lesbian. on the floor a crowd dancing swaying and cheering together wearing masks but with no assigned seating and no requirement to keep space free between them. excited fans gathered a month ago for the eagerly awaited event the 1st big concert without social distancing since the start of the pandemic. concert goes were given a coronavirus test before they were allowed in an experiment to find out whether massive events can be safely held music promoters worked with one of parsimony his main hospitals to put on the concert and doctors say fears of

a jump in infections have proved unfounded. noise when it was not a super spreading event there's not been an excess of cases and in fact there is no sign that transmission took place during an event in which a public health experts believe that a combination of ventilation face masks and testing can work the venue holds 17000 people but only 5000 were allowed in. because it was a move that we have detected 6 people who tested positive after the concert for have been able to identify the exact moment when they were infected. for example 2 who attended were later infected by their mother in law. this isn't going to kill it's now hope the event will be the 1st of many. it's the sort of these are good results that can help open up the culture center again to the point. there is

a lot at stake. a spanish study shows the european music industry the last 3 quarters of its income last year. say look at other stories making headlines around the world today a u.s. navy ship fired warning shots at iranian military vessels in the persian gulf on monday 3 iranian boats came within 100 meters of a pair of u.s. warships the incident comes as world powers are seeking to bring iran back into a nuclear board struck in 2015. 200 migrants have been rescued in the mediterranean by the ocean biking rescue ship they were overcrowded boats off the coast of libya when the vessel picked up distress calls to the aid group as a west medical clinic and the family of the late samsung chairman he couldn't believe he could he is to donate tens of thousands of rare artworks to help fund

a huge inheritance tax spill the leaf expects to pay 10800000000 dollars in taxes reportedly the largest ever amount in south korea died last year. german chancellor angela merkel and chinese premier li cage shown are co-chairing talks that are held between the 2 countries every 2 years the meeting which is online will focus on climate change and the coronavirus pandemic economic cooperation will also be high on the agenda particular particularly as china has one of germany's most important trading partners but talks could be overshadowed by a number of issues including beijing's treatment of the weaker muslim minority in shin jiang its territorial claims in disputed south china sea are another point of friction. germany's economics minister peter said he expects today's meeting will be productive but also anticipated some tough discussions ahead.

he will have very constructive but also very frank talks on the economic cooperation between germany and china has grown continuously in recent he is benefiting both peoples but we still have many areas where there's no equal treatment both ends. and that's why we have to reduce this discrimination and so that all companies have the same rights and i have already debated many aspects of this with my chinese colleagues this week and this will also be discussed that was well enough but the moment it was on. for more on the sign of german talks i'm joined now by d w chief international editor richard walker richard these consultations they take place every 2 years but they are far from routine what are the critical points on today's agenda. you know what terry these

a really wide ranging dialogues that have been going on don't just today but also the last few days between the various ministries of the 2 governments is really you know discussions going on in almost every area of policy but you know every single time in these dialogues business is a key priority you just heard from the business minister there you know china is a massive market for german exporters so that is always a priority but one thing to see that's the particularly high on the agenda is climate change where the world is looking to those climate talks the u.n. climate talks coming up in scotland later this year and the europeans and the americans really want the chinese to set more ambitious targets to cut emissions particularly in the relatively short term so we'll be watching closely if anyone went on that the relations between china and the west's richard have deteriorated in recent months or are these consultations an opportunity to get things back on track. well i'm sure the some on both sides would want to see that but the

list of tensions is so long you've mentioned a few of them already in a human rights in changing in hong kong threats of invasion against taiwan you know aggressive behavior in the south china sea and the list goes on and on and on and in fact the european union impose sanctions on some chinese officials for the 1st time in decades just recently over a human rights abuses in shin jank then the chinese side responded with sanctions of its own against various european institutions and against some lawmakers including for example a member of the european parliament from angela merkel's own party now all of this is kind of contributing to the feeling among some critics that this kind of consultation between the 2 governments a bit of a throwback to another era when the west hoped that you know through this kind of dialogue it could lead to a sort of opening up of chinese politics and society that simply isn't happening but i think one thing that is really interesting to watch going forward is the

position of the green party they're riding high in the polls and they are very critical of china and their candidate to succeed angela merkel has said that she wants to foster a politics of dialogue but toughness against china says can be really interesting if she gets into power in some form how they strike that that balance between dialogue like this and toughness which could take different forms interesting indeed our chief international editor richard walker thanks. the european super league debacle calls to huge uproar among fans especially in england where 6 premier league clubs initially joined the breakaway league before withdrawing now to prevent future defections the premier league is looking at some major reforms here's more from t.w. correspondent charles chelsea pill in manchester. could this set the ball to

english it will be to see united of manchester's youth academy award that training for a club doing things differently. if the united at both owned and run by the fans. who are just ordinary people. who actually love football and i've got a passion for football it's not a business all of the money's made goes back into the football club back into the community. in order that we can try and you know climb the leaks. and continue to make a statement to say there's a different way let's see united was set up in 2005 in protest against the takeover of premier league club manchester united by an american billionaire they're now seeing a surge of interest in their membership by roughly 20 percent over the last week alone it's driven in large part by the actions of 2 clubs just a few miles away manchester united and manchester city are among 6 english clubs

who last week signed up to a new european super league which abruptly collapsed on to outrage from fans so many it's a watershed moment. just the money grabbing it's on by billionaires who know nothing of the game don't care for the fans don't care about grassroots football in the u.k. to demise is pretty nice to be out of and is pretty terrible but falls along an. excessive incremental. vulture capitalism this place become a business today zionist for a long time. so it's not trying to do in terms of football. but we just never know when subsaharan is where you know they they haven't got the clubs at best it's all about the money for. the super league debacle has supercharged schools for change here with everything from the ownership structure of clubs like manchester united to regulation now being publicly debated and many are looking to germany as a model there's a growing chorus of voices calling for english football to emulate germany's 50

plus one model that would give found the majority voting right giving them the final say is now transcending football and gaining political traction think it's something not everyone can unite behind at the moment we have a base is a basic interest of this board protects clubs. i'm so i think that's the reason for the for the for a slogan be it so popular the government is now running a family review into english football with the german model among the reforms being discussed but there's skepticism meaningful change is possible in the meantime fan and clubs like f.c. united of forging their own path proof that an appetite for fun that is growing i think it's. time for change. and events of the last week of just demonstrate it done spites me fortunately it was more than 50 plus $100.00 . and i think there is an opportunity now for the supporters groups to continue to

do the right light yet so many in england the idea of being for the fans can feel like a thing of the past to united it's a model for the future what i can. spring in curing mcquire here he's a football finance expert at the university of liverpool in the u.k. thanks for being with us so fans are demanding more rights in determining how england's premier league operates what's so appealing about the german ball i think it's it comes across as very simple model english fans have always been impressed by the by the organization of german fans they were ability to work together their ability to achieve change in issues such as monday night football and making sure that didn't take place so. there is a that is an affection from from english fans towards the the german approach to

football that it is much more than orientated and that's why it's had so much support to date in terms of these proposals. what reforms do you think are needed in the way english football is run. well i only don't think the 50 plus one model would work because it would involve giving significant compensation to existing shareholders so therefore i think we should be focusing in terms of governance perhaps having fans being able to appoint non-executive directors so that if they were being catered to boardroom level it could be that the government could introduce legislation to it so that fans would have some form of the share which is a effectively a nuclear option giving them and the opportunity to veto significant decisions such as the name of the club whether the club can resign from only and moving the club stadium to to another to another location and you know decisions which show which will impact upon the fans and for many generations going forward it's

a football ownership and how it's run this is a very powerful deep pockets to. be a group of people how much appetite for change is there among those who run football in england. and there's not as far as the owners are concerned most football clubs are seen as trophy assets some obscene as potential investments which can be bought run through few years and then sold at a profit so as far as the owners are concerned they are very much keen on preserving the status quo and move what they want to do as much as possible was to remove the risk from paul because there are 6 seats big clubs in the premier league who do about an existing financial advantage over the office and their main concern is that if they don't qualify for the champions league that will give them a financial hit so they put their decision was to simply remove the risk of not

qualifying for the champions league by having a type of football where winning football matches wasn't important in terms of generating revenue and profits all this discussion we're having it was pushed forward by the collapse of the european super league what do you think the consequences will be of that effort to create the european super league going forward i think has been a breakdown of trust as far as the football authorities are concerned those clubs who were members all fit of the super league which was effectively a franchise organization and the fact that they were also operating at the same time in theory on behalf of both the premier league and you a fact has left that credibility in tatters we've already seen fallout to boardroom level where manchester united chief executive ed wood he's now leaving the club and they certainly seems to be a greater appetite from the government in the u.k. at least for some form of structural reform in terms of the governance and

financing of the guy kiran mcguire football finance expert at the university of liverpool thanks so much. well in bundesliga news in munich have hired rb light seeks a union knuckles man to be their new coach the next season by unbelief he represents a new generation coach's signing the 33 year old to a 5 year deal. yulian not was mom became the youngest coach in bundesliga history when he took over at hoffenheim in 2016 the coaching prodigy helped them qualify for the champions league for the 1st time ever. since 2019 he's been an r.v. leipsic the bulls have been title contenders every season not was man has been at the helm and last season he led leipsic to the champions league semifinals in a historic run not goals months sides have always made it difficult for byron

munich to defeat champions were forced to find a new coach after hockey flick announced he'd be departing at the end of the season . because i'm ok this is especially for other clubs i wouldn't have ended this contract in that it cost buyer a reported $25000000.00 euros to get novel's money out of his rb life's a contract early if that's the case that would make not was mine the most expensive coach in the sport's history i mean. the decision very good i believe it's the right direction for byron munich to go in because it bothers me a bit that flick resigned but i would not lose money there's a younger option i think is the right step but what i think you should not lose money grew up near munich that has always made it public that he's trimmed of coaching byron one day and now the 33 year old will start living his dream on july 1st when he officially takes over and by. well premier league side
