and who's behind the. new manufacturing ignorance starts move 3rd on d w. this is news coming to you live from berlin dozens are dead many more critically injured in a stampede at a jewish festival in israel. that is one of the country's deadliest civilian disasters it has been the 1st big religious gathering to be held since israel lifted coronavirus restrictions also coming up shooting for a vaccine that doesn't call india's inoculation dr falters says several states run

out of the job and the country battles a record breaking spike in coded $1000.00 infections and deaths plus stocking up on provisions in fleeing cities for their hometowns turkey enters its strictest lockdown of the pandemic with the country finding its own way but with 19 infections and treading in donald trump's footsteps we look at the republican hopefuls trying to win the former u.s. president support and a springboard to the political big time. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us in israel at least 44 people have been killed and around a 150 others injured in a stampede at a religious gathering attended by tens of thousands it happened. in the northern

part of the country where orthodox jews were holding an all night prayer and celebration. wrapped in ecstatic song and dance footage from social media shows the crowd at the annual lag omar celebration shortly before disaster struck. at around 1 in the morning i witnesses said they could feel a crush beginning to build. there was a terrible load and what happened then was like a carousel one person pushed another person so everyone was pushed right and left and after 20 minutes people started suffocating so they wanted to get out but no one was able to get out. there were people under me who weren't breathing anymore there were horrible screams of i can't breathe and slowly there were also places where the screams had stopped. my legs were trapped i couldn't move them.

face down i could lift my head a little. i tried not to strain too much and keep calm and strengthen my faith god will save us. mayhem unfolded rescue teams rushed to the scene ferrying the injured to ambulances. children separated from their parents were hoisted into the arms of emergency workers desperately trying to reunite them with their families. 5 police closed off road access and the military was called in to assist efforts to clear the area. just. through the worst. terrible disaster of. the fortified the. authorities say panic broke out on the steps in this narrow passageway after people slipped and fell and

those behind them stumbled. many of the victims were either trampled or suffocated to death. it was the 1st large scale religious gathering to be held legally since israel lifted most coronavirus restrictions. but despite their successful handling of the pandemic health authorities have warned against holding an event of this size. the lag religious festival is particularly popular with israel's ultra orthodox community police report nearly 100000 people attended the gathering which they say is 4 to 5 times as many as should have been in a location like this. i'm joined by dog muzzle whom you saw in that report he's with a volunteer medical services association you know i did. mr marshall thanks for being with us you've been at the scene of the stampede tell us how could this happen. yes that was

a terrible terrible night your work started out and the best of all joy happiness and dance turned into israel their worst tragedy. i think the simple answer to your question is having many many people thousands of people and a very very small perimeter and simply overwhelming if billet even a little alleys in which you saw in the video people trying to trying to alleviate this event this celebration that was taking place it happens every year what went wrong this time so i think this is a this isn't something that every year we discussed in preparation as a risk to the could happen because of the amount of people what i think was different this year than every year was the 2 main factors number one is it's the

1st major event as you mentioned 2 to occur after listening closely and restrictions and people that have been locked away and not participating in any events nor are religious nor civilian events for a year and a half. encourage them to do it the want to go out and practice their route religious beliefs and ceremonies that's the one hand in the 2nd is the fact that it's on the weekend and because they are orthodox people so they have to be back before sunset on friday so it all raise all the pressure down to this one very short period of time of thursday night i think a combination of both. what might have been the major factors that led to the overwhelming of this small area do you think this tragedy could have been prevented . possibly my mom my guess is that it's obviously been

investigated by the police who are overseeing the man in charge of these sort of. events we're more focused on the response mechanism but i think that definitely this has been discussed before and it is really media thought going about this and then showing how in the past year and many agencies there have been. i like that risk of having so many people we're talking about a 100000 people or a turk and he said lam it which is very very tight. so perhaps there was just simply too many people for that amount of space one of the biggest challenges being faced in the aftermath of this disaster now so i think 1st of all dealing with a media is the aftermath of. you know bringing comforts of the family and closer and burial and treating 150. people adults children teenagers that have been

injured in this in the deaths there and then further moving on is looking at not only who to perform these future events in this place it will not be able to be as it was anymore as i mentioned this really is a it and a bit and it's the work level i think it was really declared by the prime minister as the worst disaster civilian disaster in israel since at the. just a muzzle tank you very much for talking with us today that was doff my zal vice president of operations with united. so you look at some other stories making headlines around the world today in hong kong for democracy activists have pleaded guilty to charges of illegal assembly for a rally in june of last year jailed activists joshua wall was among them tens of

thousands of people gathered on june 4th to commemorate the 989 crackdown on protesters in beijing's tenement square. the volcano in guatemala is gushing lava residents are concerned it could spread to nearby communities including the densely populated capital guatemala city just 25 kilometers away the volcano has had high levels of activity over the past 2 months . india has set another daily global record of new coronavirus cases for more than a week now with an average of nearly 350000 infections faily deaths have nearly tripled in the past 3 weeks with most experts convinced the numbers are being under reported international relief efforts has been stepped up but many indians are still struggling to find medical supplies including all. and the wait for vaccines continues. in the southwest indian state of carola

they wait. and wait for a vaccine that doesn't come. stuff that they send to a ready. but they have nothing to give. between those and so for now i would get about the doctors into. these make other condition can be but there is no votes in with those. it's a similar problem across india with vaccination centers forced to close just as the government says all adults are allowed to get a jab. we don't have vaccines right now we'll let you know as soon as we get them what we call. the hunt for oxygen also continues across the country refilling centers like this one overwhelmed. i've been waiting for hours. oxygen supplies make up some of the aid that being

delivered to india from across the world. this international relief effort has become a major mission. united states delivering supplies worth more than $100000000.00 in the coming days to provide urgent relief to our partners in india. but there's also frustration india is densely populated and yet mass gatherings including fist state elections in west bengal have been allowed to go ahead. for. you know for all health workers across india the situation has become

a nightmare. for existing playboy. but the battle to keep this country breathing must go on. for more on what's driving the covert 1000 crisis in india i'm joined by just benita in poona india thanks for being with us dr. another day with record high infection rates in india how do you account for these extraordinary numbers. i suppose there are 2 or 3 different reasons that we're going to have to consider the 1st is many of last letting down the isle of god or one of the last 34 months when the infection that he had gone 50 yards probably in august september so that has resulted into being big thing when people look more caring that's next and so on and so forth in addition to opening a market economy which means people who want to getting out of the houses and hands

more interaction with the other and that is where the problem lies but it's also very important that all what misbehaviors the leaders that the population you're going to be looks up to or political leaders as well as if there are problems but peculiarly bad examples of how things should not be portrayed because there was a cool moment. where hundreds of thousands of people are i should say probably a 1000000 people who are collected particle he did in jesus walked out and or so easy to treat given staircase there were willing to go that which were addressed by. seniority there is often on the party every rick and want better or worse there are people who. believe that one of the bunch of you ok.

yes that is also the widest of each one of the spots of the virus itself indeed which are apparently there is another variant that's been identified there that is wreaking havoc on the population starting to morrow every adult in india i understand is eligible to get a job a vaccination but some vaccination centers are closing because they've run out of back scene where are the vaccines. this is a good question in the sense of the production capacity of the largest manufacturer in the word freedom institute of india a significant bottom trade was used for approximating indian india indian population what are the capacity of that insecurity or so is not good enough to come out of the people so essentially that was the media when you thought of the 2nd that you said it was 55 they're using all that scene so even to gather all the

shooting and all that scene number 3 was very 95 of them made it clear evidence i've lost. 60 plus age group part of the 1st time after we were close and saw after 45 years in the power of egypt will these 2 hour or so story to complete their kudos to support sunni earlier and are we going to die in iraq or anything plus the government in india has been severely criticized for how it's managed the crisis you yourself said they provided to some of the political leaders at least and religious leaders a bad example or officials now recognizing how bad things really are. at off issue that they think 19 big cars just by across 15 or have a horse before stray be added back up that's not as many as the me who even that clark is not me says that he talked about going to accept him for

a short so back goes without saying nobody is he would accept he was out for barring the government of india i don't use the link to accept. much bt have a gift in the hall oxygen cylinder is abby easy and manipulate doors it almost ensured that the family cast safe in and. got infrastructure to fall out of the players still in that sense that if your nation is very much there dr ball thank you very much for taking time to talk with those that was just been need to. india thank you in. and we'll have much more on the situation in india for you coming up in our special coverage in about an hour from now for now as we look at so let's 1st look at some other developments in the pandemic there are reports that health officials in germany and

france have detected the 1st cases of the coronavirus variant 1st found in india worldwide cases of the virus about surpassed 150000000 more than 3000000 of those infected have diet the u.k. is temporarily reducing its foreign aid by about 30 percent due to the economic impact of the pandemic and thailand is imposing a 14 day quarantine rule for people arriving from abroad isolation periods were recently relaxed to help revive the country's tourism industry. meanwhile in turkey the country has entered its strictest since the start of the pandemic as it fights its own battle with soaring coated 9000 cases and deaths people have been ordered to stay at home for nearly 3 weeks only allowed to go outside for grocery shopping and other essential needs our correspondent sent us this report from istanbul. saying goodbye a moment of calm. but only briefly. there is not much

time for farewells here in xinjiang equal you at one of the largest cemeteries in istanbul while the families mourn outside the next coffins are already arriving the funeral home workers try to ensure that everything is as dignified as possible but it has been turkey's deadliest month since the pandemic began and that has also become very apparent here. is that before the pandemic we had around $200.00 funerals per day. there are now more than twice as many. urgently need to hold the new lock down because the law should have made this decision earlier and probably fewer people would have died. shortly before the new lockdown came into effect the streets and shops were full again about full

alcohol was in great demand because from now on there is a ban on sales. residents are only allowed to leave their homes for essential needs until mid may it is not the 1st coronavirus curfew in turkey but the strictest one so far most of public life is supposed to come to a standstill the 2 are not all weeks but many people are wondering how they will get through this time as they can hope for any financial aid. especially in the poorer neighborhoods of istanbul many are worried only a few have permanent jobs here in tahrir. most of the make a living as daily boris or trash collectors. john all lucky enough to get in god only god knows how we'll manage. but there's nothing we can do we will try to survive somehow. they've your i don't have a husband my daughter has just had a baby. 6 people living in

a small room mentally already don't have enough money to live on day. critiques of president dredge of time bad ones say he has he tasted too long which make the situation worse although turkey has the highest number of daily new infections in europe out on how it several party congresses with thousands of members of his ruling a.t.p. in march a few days ago he pulled the emergency brake well. we must rapidly reduce the number of new infections to fewer than $5000.00 today the wise we will inevitably pay a heavy price in every field from tourism to trade and education. a small sacrifice says the president for a great of gold in about 2 weeks at the end of ramadan turkey will emerge from its lockdown hoping that its latest crisis is under control.

u.s. president joe biden has marked his 1st 100 days in office with a visit to the us state of georgia which helped cement his election victory along with 1st lady jill biden he attended a drive in rally to promote his plan to rebuild the u.s. economy and reduce income inequality biden is proposing 4 trillion dollars in spending to increase support for families and middle age middle wage workers but for the plans to take hold he will need support from the republicans opposing him in congress including those who still swear allegiance to donald trump the former president is out of the national spotlight he is working to build a new center of support from his home in florida. the reports. palm beach florida this is definitely not washington d.c.

but it is a growing hub of political power within the republican party that is its headquarters mar-a lago the primary residence of donald trump he may not be president anymore but he is creating a fortress of money and influence to defend his legacy and possibly his future. palm beach is one of the wealthiest counties in the u.s. it has long been a center for conservatives and republican fundraising the money is still flowing but traditional party structures have been weakened and a broad group of people are being drawn in. melissa martz is an attorney and a republican running for congress she believes president trump is shaking up the establishment and making way for a grassroots movement to people like her i view president trump as a strong patriotic i see him as somebody who is sincerely fighting on behalf of the american people and to be aligned with him would be very important for me in what i'm doing. marts is one of

a growing number of republican candidates and lawmakers making the trip to the next president's command center and looking for his support former white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders held a fundraiser here she's running to be governor in arkansas south dakota governor christie noem came tomorrow. she might want to run for president in 2024 and remember the former ambassador to germany richard grinnell he was at mar-a lago amid rumors he's planning to run for governor of california but does the ex-president of a growing circle around him actually control the republican party elizabeth newman says not yet she's the co-director of the republican accountability project an organization that supports the non trump wing of the party she doesn't believe trump himself will run again he's calling on fellow republicans to stand up to those who would run in his image it's going to take time to kind of. effectively convince the base and that that that at that grassroots level that there is an

alternative that is healthier and good for the country and good for the party that is not donald trump. but some might be difficult to convince nearly 45 percent of registered republicans still support trump more than the party itself the stands in palm beach still see the former president as their undisputed leader. it's hard to tell which way the tide will turn but as florida heats up the action will die down for a bit president trump will fly to his golf course in new jersey for the summer months he might be doing some fundraising there but he will surely be back. to tokyo where lympics could be held without any spectators at all that's according to the international news agency a.f.p. organizers had said the decision on domestic being allowed would come in june but no that remains unclear tokyo 2020 president seiko hashimoto's says the games would only be. a success if organizers completely protect athletes and the japanese

people earlier this week organizers issued a lympics playbooks which require daily testing of athletes and restrict their use of public transportation the games are set to start on july 23rd. german german cup football news now and league lightweights better braman meet the bowls of already light sake on friday in a semi final clash leipsic made a serious challenge for the bonus league title this season and could still win it but winning the cup appears to be their best shot for a title. rb leipzig have almost certainly come up short in their quest for the bundesliga crown this season coach yulian not goals man is moving to buy in munich and if history is any guide he'll probably collect some titles there but he'd love to win one with my pig before departing. balkans almost we don't need any extra motivation besides the cup we have

a lot of players who never want to title the same goes for me that's motivation enough so i'm going to look up on and spray men are hovering just above the relegation zone flashes of brilliance like this coming far too seldom for consistent success more often they've been on the receiving end coach though he and co felt knows how hard their task is on friday nights played against leipzig 3 weeks ago we know what we're up against we need to bring energy to the pitch everyone needs to be set free to give it all they've got in the. leipzig have enough quality to prevail even if braman give it all they've got but the cup is always good for a surprise so neither coach is taking anything for granted. the europa league something finals kicked off on thursday manchester united won an easy 62 victory over roma thanks to a pair of goals from uruguay international at the ins on company in the other
