i'm going. to subscribe for more news like. this is the day of your news live from berlin india's coverts 19 death toll surpasses 200000 shortages of oxygen medical supplies and hospital staff to compound the problem infection numbers are rising across the country. and $5000.00 music fans rocking out of europe's biggest indoor concert since the start of pounds of organizing say it was not a super spreader event to take
12:01 pm
a look at how. and the leaders of divided cyprus are meeting in geneva for talks hoping to find some common ground before resuming peace negotiations that have been stalled for you the. few i'm god as welcome to the program more than 200000 people have now died from covert 19 across india the numbers keep rising fast driven at least in part by a new more infectious variant of the virus countries around the world have begun sending medical aids to india including desperately needed oxygen as the wave of new infections overwhelms its health care system hospitals are being forced to turn away patients and authorities scramble to get equipment to those who needed most.
12:02 pm
in some indian hospitals the oxygen supply has run out finding. people who might have survived the disease are dying as a result. of getting out there there's no oxygen in all of town. let me know 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. i'm buying or to going to put it toward your order of the future who come to that level or. they are
12:03 pm
lowering the oxygen level one. 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 come to stocks and that's moving across the country using the country's 3 bases 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. 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
12:04 pm
arrives on a larger scale many people in india are left gasping for air. that's a brilliant viral the gist of it about some india's institute of immunology its new cases has reached a record high what is driving that rate of infection right now i p i think it's complex and what our political and religious leaders have been telling us that the have gone down this was the cue from december january things saying that we have conquered the infection and are going to get out because of that we believe them so they be here that the you hold your religious gathering such as a moment out was that as well as the political rallies in if we tried going for election all of this gave a common message that it does not matter where do you keep distance between the
12:05 pm
people who are. you don't know where the all are that complex and the thing has backfired and or thought certainly there are contribution up and you really aren't which emerged in india and that is also spreading very far to see are you saying that is more of a problem that the government didn't properly communicate the seriousness of the situations or is it that indians by and large been just don't have. i wouldn't make that gender the 5th man back in the dog can but of course that is if and then see to not strictly odio to the notification but what was needed was a very paid me a message from everybody who backed out and that is why i said religious leaders as the best political leaders if you see them on the television or via the talk about
12:06 pm
us we have them os 7 line below their thing or this sort of files then give give the send a false. assurance that all even i can be that fast in addition to that then it was because the case someone had gone down significantly earlier this year late last year to leave that's a lot of businesses had opened up because it was needing in the i was in very bad financial situation and it is going back to the same situation again but this in please. act there would be far business or socog of you wanted to people coming together without maintaining this and you know one of the. highly dense repopulated got so as it is about maintaining this good might be easier for german people but not in the 2nd part technically in general we need also put a 1000000 population the numbers that practically i've hired like i have been in
12:07 pm
yet but have absolutely no or even i. so. communication by the government is one thing but people are buying oxygen tanks for loved ones on the black market right now there seems to be a real issue of supply chains is that going to change or do you feel the that but it's going to change at some stage. well i hope it changes but a patent there was a discussion last year and the beginning of the pandemic to innovate for groups to increase the 50th measure for oxygen supply i'm possibly i suspect i'm saying possibly because i don't know what happened but the the commendations which were made i think that either spot from where they print or whether or not take them seriously because a switch what is happening in africa it's. sad situation but i mean that i don't find. my cd of patients dying i don't want to watch damages
12:08 pm
that parted with a situation and i hope with international sales. that it will be an improvement or so be it simply thinking there would be more and more if you would if the beach was spreading the population and are together better will be a big reason kansas as one has seen in mumbai for the mumbai was showing very very high cases and after that it's cheney 2 weeks pedia now the case number new baby case number have been steadily coming down for the last 38 so these are the local the but the patient numbers haven't been going down it could take another 15 days that could you know and then that the situation is the enemy of the bad and it's about this institute of in the knowledge in many senses. thank you.
12:09 pm
a 2nd look now at some of the other developments in the pandemic the co-founder of the biotech pfizer vaccine has voiced confidence that it works against the indian variant of the corona virus he says tests ongoing brazil's senate opens an inquiry into whether the president's job also now is government committed criminal negligence or corruption in its handling of the pandemic and south korea hopes to encourage more people to get vaccinated by exempting those who have been inoculated from quarantine measures currently anyone who's been in contact with a confirmed patient or turn from overseas travel must undergo 14 days of quarantine there are some other stories making headlines around the world even lawmakers are overwhelmingly have overwhelmingly voted to ratify opposed bragg's a trade and cooperation agreement $660.00 m e p's voted in favor and 5 against it's the final step in ratification of the deal that sets out the framework for britain's new relationship with the e.u.

12:11 pm
it was billed as europe's biggest indoor work concert since the start of the pandemic a concert in spain that went ahead with $5000.00 music fans in the audience a month ago now the research results are out and the organizers say it did not trigger a jump in corona virus infections everyone will masks at the indoor event but there was no social distance is how it worked. on stage in barcelona one of spain's most popular bands indie rockers a love of lesbian. on the flaws 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 goers were given
12:12 pm
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 person known as main hospitals to put on the concert and doctors say fears of a jump in infections have proved unfounded. noise from 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 facemasks and. besting can work the venue holds 17000 people but only 5000 were allowed in. because it was a move that we have to take that 6 people who tested positive after the concert for have been able to identify the exact moment when they were infected what for
12:13 pm
example 2 who attended were later infected by their mother in law. how theirs is that 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 sector again to the point of possible and there is a lot at stake. a spanish study shows the european music industry lost 3 quarters of its income last year. a ray of hope at least sturman east domestic intelligence agency is putting some members of the until lockdown quest protest movement under surveillance that allows authorities to collect data on individuals and groups who are suspected of spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about the pandemic german interior ministry said the movement had extremist tendencies it fears that its influence will last beyond the end of the pandemic. well for this i'm now joined by political correspondent and ash often
12:14 pm
altered our parliamentary studios here in berlin and who exactly are the question because it's a very very diverse movement isn't it. yack fair dinkum roughly translates as lateral thinking all think against the grain and this movement was only founded last year as a direct response to the current of pandemic and most specifically the german government's handling of the corona pandemic so there are very young movement but they've already created quite a stir here in germany and they're at the heart of most of the big until locked down demonstrations that we've seen across the country in recent months and like yuri said there it there it disparate bunch really then not part of of one political organization or share of political persuasion they're an eclectic mix of people with you know legitimate reason says against government lockdown measures
12:15 pm
but also outright corona deniers general conspiracy theorists and then there's also right wing extremists and even neo nazi groups that that march alongside them in the bundestag the german parliament they've got support from the biggest opposition party the right wing populist a.f.p. . so why have they been put under surveillance now it's not the whole movement that's on the surveillance is it. i know this certain groups amongst the movement that i've been put under surveillance we don't know exactly which groups they are but some german states had already had already put some of the movement under surveillance that's bought in for them back for example hamburg and also bavaria and the bavarian state leader michael sudha called for them to be put under national surveillance as early as november last year and now that is now happened and of course you should always sort of listen up when
12:16 pm
a government national intelligence service puts a group under surveillance who are protesting against government measures and but the intelligence services stated that that the that group that fed anger are using what are legitimate demonstrations and concerns against. government measures for illegitimate ends and that is to undermine the german state in the german constitution and what they said was particularly concerning were sort of connections to right wing groups especially far right extremists like the iceberg for example who question the validity of the modern german state. thank you very much or it's up to. us or to general antonio is holding meetings in geneva with the leaders of divided cyprus to find some common ground between the 2 sides the island has been split along
12:17 pm
ethnic lines between greek and turkish cypriots for decades decades the hope is to use this summit as a springboard to resume formal peace talks that have been stalled since 27 tea. time seems to have come to a standstill and for russia it's largely greek population fled during turkey's invasion of cyprus in 1974 the once popular tourist destination has been stripped of life ever since. in a nearby village. eeks out a living from the arid landscape the farmer is disappointed that peace talks between the turkish and greek parts of cyprus have been unsuccessful elisi years. we want the same opportunities that the e.u. and the rest of the world offer the greek cypriots the sanctions against us should be lifted and we should be recognized as an independent state. the president of
12:18 pm
turkish controlled northern cyprus arison tar and turkey's president wretch of the one both want a 2 state solution that would formalize the depression of the island the un and the e.u. favor a federal solution with 2 states under a central government. to. take a different position. based on a 2 state solution for health a century we have been negotiating. but leftist groups recently took to the streets to demonstrate for a federal system they want to see cyprus united and ankara sway over the island curbed the turkish cypriots in the north are divided. the few border crossings between the north and the south are closed because of the coronavirus pandemic un peacekeepers have patrolled the ceasefire line for decades
12:19 pm
. anger over deadlock negotiations is also evident in the greek part of the island. government has. from corruption to environmental destruction to. peace talks and. people on both sides of the divide are united in their frustration with their leaders. and of course. disillusionment has grown over the past years and expectations are extremely low few people expect the cyprus dispute to be resolved many don't even know that talks are being held. but those talks will have to be successful for life to return to the abandoned streets of. the european super league debacle caused a huge uproar among fans especially in england where 6 premier league clubs
12:20 pm
initially joined the breakaway elite before withdrawing to prevent future defections the premier league is now looking at some major reforms here's more from correspondent charles feldman pill in that just. could this set the ball for english it will be to f.c. united of manchester's youth academy award that training for a club doing things differently but if the united by phones and run by the fans. were just ordinary people. who actually love football and i got a passion for football it's not a business all of the monies 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 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 then now seeing
12:21 pm
a surge of interest upping 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 for many it's a watershed moment. it's horrible idea just the money grabbing a time 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 kind. of excessive incremental. vulture capitalism i suppose hope was the comic baseness today's arness for a long time. so he's not trying to do in terms of football still love the sport but we just never know when subsaharan is where you know they data haven't got the
12:22 pm
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 thank you so much that not everyone can unite behind at the moment we have a base is a basic interest of this board protects clubs. i so i think that's the reason for that is for a 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 fun and clubs like f.c.
12:23 pm
united of forging their own path proof that an appetite for fun that pulls growing i think it's. time for change. and events of the last week of just demonstrate it and spites me fortunately it was more than 50 plus $100.00. i think there is an opportunity now for the supporters groups to continue to do the right lot yet so many in england the idea of being for the fans can feel like a thing of the past and see united it's a model for the future. for more on this summer john mcguire he's a football finance expert at the university of liverpool in the u.k. german fans are demanding more rights in determining how events premier league operates and we've heard a lot about the german model what's so appealing about it. i think what appeals to me to fans is the fact that it would get them in their minds an opportunity to veto
12:24 pm
activities by club owners which which go against their principles so such as the creation of the super league would be one example perhaps so moving a club stadium from one part of the city to another changing the club colors all of these things are a very emotional fans perspective and also has a huge amount about ration for german fans here in england because we've seen the success of the mobilization of the organization of german fans when there have been proposals which went against state the views of the fans it serves of destroying history heritage and culture of the german guy so what will forms do you think needed in the way english football is run right now well the 50 plus what model does have some merit but ultimately if you've got an owner such as we have with manchester united the club's worth 2500000000 sterling so that's close to 3000000000 euro if you're going to take away 51 percent of the shares that that
12:25 pm
big that they're going to need huge amount of compensation for that so i don't think that model will work but perhaps an alternative would be the government bringing in legislation needs to be having a review into the cave of president which would allow clubs to. fans as non-executive directors so therefore they would be they would be observing at the decision making process they would be able to get the views of the fans across perhaps also they'd be given some form of veto perhaps a golden share for those critical decisions which impact the long term sustainability of existence of the club but given the huge amounts of money at stake here how much appetite do you think is there a change so much among those who run football. billionaires normally don't like giving a white power we see that in the structure of club such as manchester united where the glazer family of 10 votes for every share that they own compared to one person
12:26 pm
one vote for the other shareholders so clearly there be resistance so they would be the being both the for all fora tease and the government to try to prevent this because they are used to getting their own way so it would be a challenge for fans of those people who want greater governance and democratization of the guy to manage to persuade even the government all the football authorities to encourage these people to relinquish their existing control pounds to look a bit more broadly what do you think the consequences of this failed super league will be for football in europe. i think it does give you a for now an opportunity to to reset the clock what we have seen over the course of the last 10 to 15 years is that there has been a creeping creeping increase in the control of money going to a smaller and smaller number of clubs at the top because every time there is a renegotiation or a new a new champions league contract coming up from
12:27 pm
a broadcasting point of view the big clubs say we want more and more or we will create a super league that that hand is now being played that hand has been lost so it is an opportunity now for the game you know cross the border countries in europe more more to smaller clubs to perhaps get a slightly bigger slice of the pie. thank you very much. thank you and that's it from me on the news team business is up next with janelle to my left. thumb.
