until century. present day hoaxes this is. and who's behind the. space business and of the navy it is on except it will not be allowed manufacturing ignorance stocks make good on d w. all this week the news has been full of india's coronavirus crisis record case numbers shortages of oxygen hospital beds and staff tonight we're going to look at why this pandemic became a crisis and what the future holds as india's double newtons variant spreads beyond the country i'm phil gale and this is the day.

to believe it is believe this george bush. has been looking for oxygen. and we can't get a bed in a hospital. bed. brother died because of a lack of oxygen in the hospital. their family members are dying in front of them in their hands temporary no doctors are available willing to treat patients right now and demand for personal yeah the feel that. it's. also coming up as nato troops prepare to withdraw from afghanistan we meet the women fearful of a return to taliban rule that. as a business owner i'm afraid of what could happen only women work here and we all remember the dark days of the taliban we know that when they were in power women

had no rights and weren't allowed to work in a profession like this. welcome to the day well today india posted another global record for corona virus infections more than 395000 new cases in a day while things looked more hopeful when the international community rallied round and sent medical supplies but now several indian states say they are running out of vaccine and much needed oxygen. the scramble for oxygen as demand continues to skyrocket with hospitals law on supply desperate indians flock to oxygen plants in an attempt to save their loved ones. they bring their own cylinders to have them filled and refilled but even here it's a struggle. i've been waiting for hours.

hospitals are overwhelmed and shutting their doors. even ambulances have to wait. with patients gasping for breath in the streets. you cannot live without today i learned how bad the coronavirus pandemic is i've been looking for oxygen since morning but to no avail and we can't get a bed in the hospital there makeshift health facilities are springing up in sports complexes and banquet halls. oxygen supplies make up some of the aid that's been delivered to india from across the world the international relief effort has become a major mission. but there's also frustration. india is densely populated. yet mass meetings including for state elections in the state of west bengal have been allowed to go ahead. people have been gathering a lot there's been

a lot of gathering in terms of people going out in the markets there's been some rallies going on and people have been going to different festivals. for all health workers across india the situation has become a nightmare. real life. right into play by. the government but the battle to keep this country breathing must go on i mean if you don't if you have to cut this crisis have been prevented home on a bag of on is professor of history human rights and public policy at the city university of new york he specializes and modern day india welcome to the w that's that we where we are as the indian government lost control of this pandemic. thank you for having me i think by all appearances the answer to your question is yes i see that the indian government would probably respond by pointing

out all the international outreach that it's done over the last couple of days and weeks and how it's managed to quite successfully negotiate deals with a variety of governments to secure aid which is now arriving in the country in terms of oxygen medicine p.-p. and so on but when you have mass cremations in the capital of delhi when you have a vaccine roll out with no vaccines and when you have. people literally gasping for accident that is a government that is not in control ok so this is really what i'm trying to get out because as the world as you as you as you say helps and sends in oxygen medical supplies one has to ask what was the indian government doing that brought them to this point in the 1st place. well. so india handled the 1st wave of hope and. it got by pretty well you can tell

it somewhat efficiently and then there was this epidemiological mystery where covert cases magically dropped around october 2020 then they declared victory too soon in january of 2021 and then they basically let down their guard and brought life back to normal including mass political rallies and religious gatherings and these turned into multiple super spreaders events what led to the crisis we are at right now i'd say 1st of all the government probably lost control if you're just talking about the news cycle about a week or 2 ago but if the role of the government is to end to supply and prevent crisis then this government failed last year and i've spoken to a number of dogs as a vis with many who are very defensive of the government's stance and they may tell me that if you look at the sheer numbers that india has fewer cases per 100000

than france or sweden or germany but to those of us outside the country that does not explain why we are seeing these desperate scenes in india that we don't see in france sweden or germany. right well you know everything is larger in india proportionally so i mean this is one of the largest populations in the world so of course it makes sense that you know statistically that the proportions are less in in. in in as sorry that the sheer numbers are less. in india in proportional terms but in actual numbers these are gargantuan numbers moreover there's indication that we have under reporting and misreporting and of a factor of anywhere from 2 times to 20 times the numbers so the number of potential infections in the country could very well be as high as something like 400008 starts 100000000. this is substantial

and you know i think it is it is it is misleading to say that this is not a crisis and so how damaging is this then for the prime minister. well i would see that. he has successfully managed his tenure as prime minister in terms of building up a particular brand brand and. some commentators have now noted that brand loyalty is over i would say that if his image is significantly dented his it is built around he's built his reputation around strength and efficiency and capability and his supporters have allowed it him for those very skills and when push comes to shove now in the crisis

it's hard to argue for any of those things and so there's a lot of anger at the government i don't know that it necessarily translates to him personally just yet and i don't know if there be any consequences at the polls but there certainly rising anger at the failure of the government are you so much professor professor back of out from sydney university new york thank you. well as well as political and social action titian's a particularly virulent double mutation of the corona virus has been patni blamed for india's problems it's said to be mourning factious and deadly variants we can learn more from jeremy a camille an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the louisiana state university health shreveport. welcome to day w wait with us now to the idea of viruses mutating to evade a host immune system so what is a double mutation and why is this

b 1617 we can see such havoc in india. firstly thanks for having me on. secondly i think it's important not to look at. can you hear me i can hear yes yes i'm going please carry oh oh yes i was going audio from the other. anyway it's important not to rechristen the pandemic or. assume that every new variant no matter how concerning the configuration of mutations on the spiked protein may be it doesn't make a new pandemic this is the same virus largely as the one that emerged in groupon 'd china 2019 and i agree with your previous guest that probably the largest factor contributing to the purported variance of ascribed to this variant is probably the social factors people getting together assuming the pandemic was over or going

masks missing mixing together at political or religious events or just you know eating indoors at restaurants and assuming that because they were of indian descent somehow they are magically protected from coronavirus disease which we know is wrong i don't think that this new tape these mutations i mean they call it a double mutant because of 2 mutations on the spike one is for it form q which is similar to mutation that's found in the key one variant just described from brazil and the 1351 variant discovered in south africa that out of a substitution at that position and then another mutation that was originally described in the variant discovered within california called b one $47.00 or $49.00 depending on which ok i'm sorry so there's so we have this we have this this mutant very into the debate is out that but how does social distancing of the hygiene measures being in place we would not have seen the crisis the but what we're seeing now so how what is should other countries be that

various spreads and becomes a dominant variant. well i think it's too soon to say that whether or not this variant of extra special concern we do know that b 117 definitely played out and turned out to be a mic and especially transmissible variant however it's also important to realize that the 117 which emerged ok is entirely well controlled by the current jackson and i suspect that this variant that's well and from her early indications the preliminary data coming out do suggest that the 1617 is extremely well controlled by vaccines and i would also point out to your viewers that when you have mass vaccination and you have high uptake of vaccines it it gives the virus less room to mutate and to navigate and to escape the corner that our immune system pushes into so vaccines have a number of benefits and that's one of them for sure right now i don't say you're

a microbiologist did you spend your days looking at this a basic as they said any part of you the sort of models of the way the viruses develop and adapt absolutely i mean i'm of are all just because i find infectious diseases fascinating but i mean i don't mix that up with the human tragedy the human tragedy the number of deaths is mind boggling and horrifying looking at the phylogenetic trees watching the virus evolve is a separate process and of course that is absolutely amazing and on spiralling you learn a lot by seeing how the virus changes as it has obviously leapt from our spilled over from some other animal species most likely a bat or a separate cat or something like that into humans and as it did that it's started to make a family tree of its own and it's now competing with its cousins and brothers and sisters for dominance but it's it is it is sad that this data generated on the back

of a human tragedy could talk to you thank you so much for joining us generally a commitment from the louisiana state university. thank you. u.s. president joe biden has marked his 1st 100 days in office with a visit to the u.s. state of georgia which helped cement his election victory with the 1st lady joe biden the driving to promote his. u.s. economy and reduce income inequality. is proposing a 4 trillion dollar spending package to increase support families and middle income workers. democratic president will need support from republicans in congress including those still loyal to donald trump despite being out of the national spotlight the former president who's working to build a support base i mean in florida in.

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's 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 patriot i see him as somebody who is sincerely fighting on behalf of the

american people and 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 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. 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 how much power does the ex-president and the growing circle around him actually wield over the party i do think we need to take it seriously but at the same time it's also laughable rightly it's just more of the crazy circus elizabeth newman is the co-director of the republican accountability project an organization that supports

the non trump wing of the party she doesn't believe trump will run again himself in 2024 she's calling on republicans to take back the party it's going to take time to kind of. effectively convince the base and 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. some might be difficult to convince nearly 45 percent of registered republicans still support trump more than the party itself he stands in palm beach still see the former president as their undisputed leader. so it's hard to tell which way the tides are turning and then there are those who are less worried about the future of the republican party and more worried about their city philip johnson is a lawyer for the group preserve palm beach and he says his clients on both sides of the political aisle are worried about being overrun by trump supporters. going to

be a party in exile. he could become a beacon for his more lawless supporters this is where he is located and he still has all this influence in the republican party but. people are going to people have to come here to see him and we anticipate that that could quickly grow out of control. residents might get a respite as florida becomes too hot president trump will fly to his golf course in new jersey for the summer months he might be doing some fund raising there but he will surely be back. it was nato troops begin to withdraw from afghanistan as a growing for the future of women's rights the afghan government the taliban holding talks to end decades of fighting to agree a road map for the country's future when western troops are gone the islamist group

has promised to respect the rights of women in any power sharing agreement a many women fear that a resurgent taliban could the hard won rights that they've gained over the past 2 decades. so harley's is very proud she's had a job for 2 years now the 40 year old works at a tailor shop for women in afghanistan carrying out a profession is a privilege one that many are denied. i'm so incredibly happy and also grateful that i'm allowed to work here i've learned tailoring here and i've gained self-confidence and i can earn money that means i can help support my family. so who works here at the tailors 5 days a week. the shops. open their business 3 years ago she employs 38 women there are no men working in her shop that if. i wanted to

show everyone that women can do just as much as men that's why i opened my tailor shop it was important for me to prove that women can work and that they are independent and that they can add something to society. she's achieved just that over the past 3 years her shop's been a success but now she's worried what will happen here after the international troops withdraw from afghanistan and the taliban possibly return to power. what they did that of course is a business owner i'm afraid of what could happen only women work here we all remember the dark days of the taliban we know that when they were in power women had no rights and weren't allowed to work in a profession like this. working here is helped many women in the region like her coworker serena her husband's income wasn't enough to support the whole family thanks to serene as wages the family can get by now

but sit on the other i'm grateful that i can support my family but of course i'm worried that i could become unemployed if the taliban come to power again. that's a concern shared by all the same sources here so harley's doesn't want to lose the rights that women have acquired over the last 20 years. for the 1st time in her life she and her family have enjoyed a sense of security that. show. i used to feel scared when i was out of my own i didn't know whether i'd get home alive i hope these times are never repeated and that we can live in peace and security you know the best being. the. work peace and security are basic human needs that remain privileges for afghan women. let's take

a closer look at this with dr v. land carry me she's executive director of the center for international peace operations in berlin which organizes civilian peace operations around the world about half of the german foreign ministry welcome to d w what do you think is likely to happen to afghanistan's women when nato forces withdraw and the taliban assumes greater power and influence. well that's of course an open question because the question to the future however is we have learned. from the video which you have shown right now i mean there have now 20 years after 911 after. intervention in afghanistan there are women working in their professional standing on their own feet there are attending schools universities they have access to. maternity hospitals there are judges element ariens whatever and of course all of

them fear that they might loose festival that they might lose their free choice of employment you might lose the opportunity to stand on their own feet their freedom of expression and of course many of the rights they have gained during the last 20 years and we should mention that rights they used to have in the 1960 s. and seventy's before for example that have equal rights in the percentage where women in parliament would of 25 percent percent and they might lose that when the taliban become part of the government or even take over government and that is their fear but of course it's not clear because the taliban are also not an entity in the different use on the role of women and women themselves don't have a unique view in afghanistan a sort of so there must be at that there must be

a feeling that among so many of afghanistan's women that nato is effectively abandoning the country. i guess well of course i can't speak on behalf of afghan women but there is there is a feeling amongst many in the societies. in the afghan society that there is a bilateral agreement between the taliban and the u.s. not even it was made to. enforce sure or not with the afghan government or the afghan civil society in this file actually agreement the set and date but not an end state and the problem is there is no really functioning and doing peace negotiations and they feel abandoned because they the thing that after 20 years is not even a real framework for peace process between the afghan government and the taliban

civil society and for sure not even for women to have a strong seat with 50 percent of the seats and to suit quote negotiation table ok and so if we resort of make an appeal directly then as it were to the taliban what does afghanistan looms if women are forced into secondary positions in the country . well for sure is as i have mentioned all the professions that women are working in we haven't even talked about women as teachers all doctors are part of. the police or army offices they do would lose all these professional women they would lose of course my shop the education i'm a need you see millions of girls who are attending schools universities and it's a huge potential. for a country and of course they would lose all that knowledge on that carriage or that

professionalism and i think afghanistan is a very young society and we started our 1st would be would be to bring that to our attention dr there was late that dr albert avail and creamy and the center for international peace operations here and brought him back and that was the day.

and a community left reeling from tragedy. the israelis remembering those they've lost 2 of them. among them the country's president lighting a candle fit each of the victims. well you're sure this is a time to embrace the families to help all those looking for their loved ones. to take those injured to our hearts to wait together. to weep together. ecstasy turns to agony in just a few moments the massive crowds are on their way home from the festival when they stumble down slippery stairs into a narrow passageway panic in the chaos of victims including children who are either trampled all suffocated to death all relatives with the my legs for travelers i couldn't use them face down i could lift my head a little i tried not to strain too much and keep calm strength in my face god

will save us so. this was the 1st mass religious gathering since israel eased covert restrictions and the turnout was much higher than expected as many as 90000 people showed up to the event organizers had received permission for just 10000. people that have been locked the weighing about purchase a baby from any of grants or religious or civilian. for a year and. want to go out. there there are religious beliefs and serve oldies. ahead of israel's day of rest the chabad friends and families began gathering to say goodbye to the victims the government is promising athar investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash

finding out what happened will be crucial for the country's ultra orthodox community now planned into morning. correspondent tanya crabber in jerusalem told me more about what about investigation would consider. well the have a lot of factors to look on the one hand of course they will look at the security arrangements that were made but also the rangelands by the different religious sects that are involved in those. festivities on the other hand there's a lot of footage and images on social media that are circulating off the event itself also the moments before stumpy it happened and of course to eyewitnesses that have been talking about what happened to them you know the very harrowing experience that made a lot of focus will be on that very narrow passageway where. distant pete happened and what is also interesting here there is

a discussion because of course this festival is happening every year except for last year when it was severely restricted because of the corona virus pandemic. that there have been warnings for many years now that this was a holy site it's not really made or it's not safe for thousands and thousands of people to gather there and that this was a tragedy waiting to happen. in jerusalem. after india which has posted another global record for krone virus infections with more than 385000 new cases in one day vaccines are the latest critical supply to run out with several states reporting shortages countries around the world are sending shipments of benson's and much needed oxygen. but the scramble for oxygen as demand continues to skyrocket with hospitals low on supply desperate indians flock to oxygen plants in an attempt to save their loved ones. they bring their own

cylinders to have them filled and refilled but even here it's a struggle. i've been waiting for hours. hospitals are overwhelmed and shutting their doors. even ambulances have to wait. with patients gasping for breath in the streets. to get out without today i learned how bad the coronavirus pandemic is i've been looking for oxygen since morning but to no avail and we can't get a bed in the hospital there makeshift health facilities are springing up in sports complexes and banquet halls. oxygen supplies make up some of the aid that's been delivered to india from across the world the international relief effort has become a major mission. but there's also frustration. india

is densely populated. yet mass meetings including for state elections in the state of west bengal have been allowed to go ahead. people have been gathering a lot there's been a lot of gathering in terms of people going out in the markets there's been some rallies going on and people have been going to different festivals. for all health workers across india the situation has become a nightmare. right in the play by. the government but the battle to keep this country breathing must go on my. family have been doing. well deep to go to sanny is an epidemiologist at the london school of medicine and dentistry a welcome to the w the world health organization says in just been hit by a perfect storm of mass gatherings contagious

a variance and low vaccination rates of what could be indian government have done to prevent this becoming a crisis. i would certainly add in computer government to that but fix this crisis has actually been unfolding for the last 6 weeks so i'm all for relief every we've been seeing exponential rises in many states in india and no action has been taken by government what's really puzzling is that even now when exponential rise a continuing racing doubling of cases every 5 to 6 days there's no action being taken for restrictions and opt out of most days and we've reached here in what west bank already have been election rallies until very recently it's still not a lot done elections are going ahead most states still only have weekend curfews or 9 tenths of use and none of that is sufficient to curb the spread of the pandemic and what's even worse is that the impact is in terms of debts which is devastating right now is only a reflection of cases from about 3 weeks ago we know that cases that deaths always

lag infections and what's really concerning is that this is continuing to get worse and it's going to get worse over the next month unless we do something to actually contain infection at this point in time because the debts will continue to rise very suddenly for the next month that's baked in but what happens after that is entirely dependent on what we do now ok so that's quite a condemnation you put so much of this dancer to government incompetence so where does that start does that start at the state level or is that a lack of leadership from the national government. i would say it's definitely both i mean as state governments have power in. much of india to essentially control local restrictions control local lockdowns but they've been drilled out by state ministers it's very clear that the central government and the prime minister has an absolutely nothing to go expect even now there's no long term plan as to how to

deal with this there's a level of fire fighting going on to deal with the hospitals being all out of the debts now but nothing being done to contain transmission which is going to impact the debts of the next few weeks but anyone with a television anywhere with a radio anywhere with access to the outside world could say about you me lockdowns you need vaccines you need lots of things so what is stopping state authours hears from doing this. i honestly com for the life of me understand i mean i know that there's a prioritization of politics so for example the election and by spin goal but what happened what's happening in many other states is something i do understand i mean there's a sort of thinking that knockdowns hugely impact the poor which is absolutely true but so does call fit and you know letting a pandemic grow i mean ticket is not going to have 100000000000 and poor people the right thing to do here is to put a lot down in peace and support people who need support with financial and practical assistance. will we thank you for your for you know rob folks right views

that dr thank you so much for joining us i think to go to saudi from the london school of medicine and dentistry. all right let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world afghan interpreters for the u.s. military and nato are calling on washington not to leave them behind us troops have how many risk their lives for years translating for foreign troops out of the now asking for safe lives in the united states rather than being left to the recognition of a taliban. jailed hong kong democracy activist joshua was one of 4 people to plead guilty to charges of illegal assembly after attending a rally last year tens of thousands of people joined candlelit vigil on the 4th of june to commemorate the 1989 crackdown against protesters in beijing's telamon square. russia's financial monitoring agency has added opposition leader alexei in the valleys network of campaign offices to

physio therapist but since the coronavirus pandemic started the family has severely restricted their contacts because flavia covered infection could be fatal. and infect your booked by mention the downs a lot of people with down syndrome an infection harbors much greater risks and. additionally we know very little about long term effects of this illness so even if she were to survive an infection you wouldn't know what would come after that. this is after the 1st family and how hard. therefore the family keeps to themselves physical contact with others is restricted the children are only ok finally allowed to play with. school happens online all of this puts a strain on flavia. go

by i cried quite a bit because school was closed so we had to do it digitally and that was stressful . and massive our flat. top dollar. we've noticed that flavia suffers enormously from this loneliness she sits in her room for hours she talks to herself more and more she makes noise she just isolates ourself. want a cup that's the thaw the parents have already been given the chance of getting flavia vaccinated is most important to the family now by on take has completed clinical trials for vaccines for children between the ages of $12.15 and you can test run as a sort of on time guns extra in these trials different age groups are tested and the close observation that that way the researchers can gradually find out how the drug reacts with certain groups. the family are hopeful that they will soon be able

to vaccinate their daughter with the vaccine until then they will do everything they can to protect her from an infection. that sets you up to date well well there's other talk of the hour kris kobach how's your business update in just a good. every day counts for us and for our economy. moving ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. to make see the screen. how can we protect have a chance to. make a difference. good morning to you as the environmental series of little 3000 on t.w. dawn. possibles
