this is t w news live from berlin and india is a global leader in vaccine production but millions there are now asking where are jobs india's vaccine rollout is in disarray some states have no shots to offer of population growth by the devastation 2nd way we'll hear from our correspondent in delhi also coming up. israel's already been dead after a disaster i say massive religious celebrations israelis will share a national day of mourning on sunday for at least $45.00 people who died in

a crushing stampede plus. craving for song as a chance for young people in liverpool to finally get out to mix it up and downs with scientists tracking nearly every move. welcome to the program india has reported a staggering 400000 new coronavirus infections in 24 hours adding to a weeklong streak of world record breaking numbers to battle the devastating 2nd wave saturday should have marked the start of a vaccine rollout for hundreds of millions of over eighteen's in india but most states are not taking part because there are not. nearly enough vaccines to go

around. saying these are the lucky ones. waiting in line to be vaccinated. and eventually being given their jabs but plans to begin vaccinating all adults are in disarray many states simply don't have any doses to give out. requesting the people of. space to leave those who are . in years or before the 40 years to refrain from going to the hospitals thinking that you may be vaccinated. what is the company's manufacturing vaccines will not be able to deliver the doses on the 1st of may so the vaccination drive in the magic pradesh will not begin. we are completely prepared health care workers are ready but we do not have the vaccines.

only around one in 10 of india's vast population has had even a 1st jab at the lack of doses made worse by administrative inefficiencies. oxygen and medicines are also in short supply pharmacies say there has been panic buying and holding and they are restricting supplies only giving out oxygen cylinders to people who can prove they really need than. any emergency care facilities are being set up sports holes religious sites and catering facilities are being turned into makeshift covert 19 isolation wards and the awful tosk of dealing with the dead goes on in the capital delhi volunteers put themselves at risk collecting the bodies of those who've died. but it is back i picked up all my order and he died because he couldn't supply him with you know i was working in the

mortuary when i couldn't pick up the ball and the way i was able to receive the boat he was already possible. so it gets really tough for us. an international relief effort is underway to help india fight its devastating 2nd wave but deaths and infections are still rising remorselessly and with not enough vaccines to go round. d.w. correspondent. joins me now from new delhi name asia india was supposed to expand its vaccination program today but we know that's not happening everywhere what's left of that plan. well technically. do. is continue to act. really lot about they will be getting their doors however well many adults not just

for that forestalls have just been i don't need to book an appointment as vaccination at big boys they're not all vaccines available 7 steve me just to play daily at monash drug scene we do not have doors is please do not come out or do x. missions and don't do not go out then we do not have enough to give you leave for no one for a few days didn't let up and so that the snake oil city that was now has announced that states can dad if you took your daughters from axiomatic back to just about what there just aren't enough tools as to give out and that's why states are citizens. so not enough doses so considering the limited vaccine supplies why did the indian government decide to open up its vaccine drive to all adults or teens today. well it's also important to make ward off the fact that spending a back nation in itself is actually supposed to be a step many have came up with all of this announcement by opinion displayed in the

fact that india had neglected its that mission to duels about 25 that the uptick in that age group was marked that high and that many people but actually much more keen to get the vaccine than the e.u. decently. they can as well so this step in that sense is not seen as a negative step the problem is it's ending an adult ensuring that it not all says let it be liberal that is what actually exists and so it's about what exactly was the intention the heinz expansion what to do to fight off that surge that you do says what is it simply and i was just seen that was why we didn't get it when they actually got right so but india is a major vaccine producer but it's struggling to ramp up the production what are the reasons for. that but it's that the new government may have mismanaged the ordering of vaccines need to back the interview search like the 7 institute of

india which still using the vaccine not just little to supply it across what has come out to see that they did not have enough you know bombs or dollars from the indian government still even to drop out production was a stage of the job so it's probably less what's being dropped the us has since devised the sport but even now it's it is not what the policeman i think the government is decent be pleased or thoughtless up production to that level to be able to jump up supplies for such a massive radio. or i mean i thank you very much w. correspondent. in delhi. a fire in a covert 19 hospital ward in western india has killed at least 18 patients medical staff and firefighters rescue dozens more the blaze broke out on the ground floor of the hospital in the coastal state of good to rot it's the 2nd fatal fire

involving coated 19 patients in india another 13 died at a clinic on the outskirts of mumbai last month. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. russia's financial monitoring agency has added opposition leader alexei navalny its network of campaign offices offices rather to a list of terrorist and extremist groups the network disbanded on thursday in a separate developments one of his lawyers was briefly detained by police on friday . meanwhile the russian government has banned 8 european union officials from entering the country denouncement comes after the e.u. sanctioned russian officials imprisonments germany calls the sanctions from moscow and unnecessary strain on relations with. the world's the world's longest suspended footbridge will open this weekend in portugal the bridge

a candle for each of the victims. though yes i says it is 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 turned to agony in just a few moments the massive crowds were on their way home from the festival when they stumbled down slippery stairs into a narrow passageway panic in the chaos the victims including children by the trampled all suffocated to death all relatives of the my legs for travelers i couldn't move 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 all in all. 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 away about purchase of baby many of grants or religious or civilian. for a year and. kurds want to go out and. practice where there are religious beliefs and serve always. ahead of israel's day of rest the shambat 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 mourning. d.w.

correspondents on your claim in jerusalem told us more about the investigation 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 this stampede happened and of course to eyewitnesses that have been talking about what happened to them you know the very harrowing experience they made and a lot of focus will be on that very narrow pathway where. just impede 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 coronavirus 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. w.'s tenure claim a reporting now for most raves have been out of the question for a long time but now it's party time again in the british city of liverpool after more than a year of club closures 3000 people have been allowed to pack away house for brave the pilot's event was designed to study whether coronavirus restrictions can be eased without triggering new outbreaks of 90. was a big day for britain's music scene. that all of us are excited we're all on the verge it is ready to go on to say yeah. so we're just ready for. a little bit overwhelming because obviously we haven't been around this many people in so long and there's just it's weird to get back in the way excited

a bit nervous bomb excited. the revellers have to test negative for coronavirus twice ahead of the event but once inside take a party without restrictions. it's been so long if it happens everyday to feel like we get this again to be like this yeah i've been on this ride you could reach me but there are so many people. without ma with all sorts of influences from once it feels amazing. scientists are using this trial to test the safety of large gatherings analyzing data on the movement of the crowds and air quality inside the venue britain has vaccinated more of its population than any other country in europe and the hope is

that with the help of experiments like this the hard his apparent sector will soon be back in the groove again. that's it for me stay tuned for world stories marion i've been staying will be with. at the top of the hour i'm glad i was like up in berlin thanks becoming. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. corner. hot spots. and some great cultural memorials to boot. off we go.

this week on world stories in russia vaccine tourism becomes a business model what is the price of freedom in sweden during a pandemic but we begin in brazil where just as it has everywhere else the coronavirus pandemic is hitting the poor especially hard many have lost their jobs and are struggling to feed their families. fairly or gomez starts

a day early she gets up at around 4 am worried about having enough food for her 4 children to have breakfast. i wake up with the feeling of being in agony i jump out of. add in the 1st thing i do is thank god i'm alive i look at my children and think to myself today i'll bring home some food for them i leave the house early to fetch bread there are days when i can't manage to bring them anything but they run out overnight me. lives in a for valor of around a 100000 people in sao paolo here and across brazil unemployment hit a record high last year this community association helps people living in marginalized areas to find work. we had an 84 percent increase in demand for employment after the government's emergency aid ended and the number of people seeking our help tripled because so many people didn't have any support anymore but

it was. in december government aid of around $84.00 euros a month was cut making an already difficult situation for many much worse the number of people living on less than 36 years more than doubled many families stopped cooking with gas and started using firewood 27000000 brazilians live in extreme poverty renate tardelli has been researching the featherless for 20 years. noel bullet data shows that the poorer you are the higher the rates of infection. the more on the periphery the person finds themselves the higher the death rate from coronavirus. brazil has added 2000000 more people to the marginalised areas in the past year it's not ethical that brazilians have to choose between going hungry will getting the virus it's an ethical. no hatch. for

adults live in the home of sylvia to his us she's a cook and the only one still to have a job but it's just one day a week she used to cook in other people's homes but they let her go for fear of infection. that this pandemic is difficult it's going to leave all of us starving and that's apart from all the damage it does to your health look at this q we're all in the same boat. that the model melba with a shortage of vaccines and hospitals overwhelmed it's hard to see a way forward for people in the lowest social groups who are trapped by both poverty and disease. despite a 3rd lockdown france has one of the highest rates of covert infections in europe the government is trying to contain the spread of the paris with a massive vaccination campaign.

places like these are the new beacon of hope for the french the stud de france just north of paris is one of more than 100 new huge vaccinations and just across the country all have escalated on a combined effect this is a mega operation we are now able to administer mass vaccinations in the center we will inoculate about $10000.00 people per week them neatly organized the chinese are part of a national effort to end this crisis. people here are relief they're finally getting help the stadium is located in france's most destitute departments and sunny which has also been hit hardest by the epidemic with about 800 new infections per 100000 inhabitants each week. that as well and i really hope to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel it's what we need things have been very

worrying for a year now and although we try to make an effort and stay reasonable it's getting very difficult to live without social contacts i think the department of sense and me is very badly affected by the epidemic the numbers keep skyrocketing it's high time they do this if it's not already too late. a faster vaccination campaign is key to the country's latest strategy to fight cope with 19 the government just decreed a 3rd nation might lock down but it's only a 4 week lockdown light and this time people are even told to spend more time outside this fire on a just is not sure that will be enough to bring the epidemic under control. by longer booklet after all what actually nay we will need to vaccinate 10 percent of the french population with 2 jabs for the spread of the virus to start slowing down. now by the mall and our infection numbers are very high

as we didn't impose a strict lockdown earlier this year like other countries with that said a 4 week lockdown seems rather optimistic. a sightseeing tour in moscow comes with a dose of the russian sputnik buybacks in this business model is gaining momentum in russia and demand is high especially among german charge. of a tiny needle prick under covert 1000 vaccine sputnik v enters hinds getting canals bloodstream. it's certified as being highly efficacious. pinker now is one of several germans who pay 2000 euros for a vaccination vacation his wife is also getting a dose of sputnik v. . just as there is. a few great i didn't even feel the job knew.

it also means we can look forward to being able to travel again in future israel has said it will open up to people who've been vaccinated. the 2 departed from frankfurt today go there among the 1st 18 tourists who pull the 4 day trip to moscow. they return at the beginning of may for a 2nd job. then dutch are coming but you can't count on getting a vaccination in the near future in germany to be honest i think we're being sensible the more people are vaccinated the sooner we recharge immunity when you take it. the media are out in force to meet the would be vaccine knees russia's government is happy to get one sputnik v. to be a top export 60 countries have certified it for use the european union is more hesitant to have been raised about its efficacy so the kremlin could see vaccine tourism as

good publicity. tour operator world visitor welcomes the business. to tour operator we at least have worked for some of our stuff and generate some revenues we otherwise wouldn't have and for russia it's peor and solves a couple of german problems as well. sputnik the is available to all russian citizens free of charge but only 30 percent of them are interested a quick straw poll shows many welcome the fact that germans are coming to moscow for their shots. if they've got problems of vaccines in germany they should come here i don't think it's bad news of. which you move they should come to russia where the best. with them let them have their vaccinations our vaccine is very good . group even though sputnik field isn't even certified yet the next few weeks will see quite a few more vaccine vacationers like pink uno heading to moscow visitors says

bookings are surging. sweden has taken a unique approach to the corona virus pandemic that governments lockdown policy was much lighter than in neighboring countries though the death toll is quite high the approach still has its supporters. sweden seen as the land of sweet liberty for those cheating against coronavirus closures curfews and mandatory masks while most of europe has been in various. stages of lockdown over the last year swedes have been skiing shopping dining in drinking restrictions in swedish restaurants mean giving customers space and closing at 8 pm i think we have taken away a round hole for the tables so we have one meters per tank gun jimmy head waiter at

the concern and restaurant in stockholm says sweden's done it right to it from belgium from prawns from him learn from czech republic they come here taking it we were a case. just to feel the freedom the architect of this model state epidemiologist anders techno read it basically the same as many other countries we did it in slightly different free for all trying to do the thing sweden has tried maybe a bit more than other sr to pinpoint what exactly we do we need to close but tenuous different way has seen sweden record a far higher death toll than its closest neighbors finland and norway a comparison he rejects they are they all flyers sweden. compare very much more true belgium or straight even germany and sweden this. $5.00 to $10.00 countries with least excess mortality is europe but sweden's care homes in particular were hit hard last year and still now hospitals warn intensive care units are nearly

overwhelmed take masks for example understand nell doesn't believe they're very effective so on public transportation writers are urged but not required to mask up during rush hours few appear to do so some feel that's a failure of the government's covert $1000.00 communications strategy at least journalism professor christian christianson says the lax approach to mask wearing exposes inequalities in swedish society in danger inc especially minorities you're seeing people who are probably in lower paying jobs service industry jobs must take public transportation their trains in the morning day in day out with hundreds of people in a small container i think it's reasonable to ask like you know might that not be a possible public health problem if they make it more tighter that everyone should make it should wear a mask that would be very important and maybe we could have spare some life

a new emergency law gives the government temporary power to impose a lockdown but it hasn't been used polls show some swedes have lost faith in their country's approach to stuff lloyd blood isn't one of them he still trusts in ender's techno here a person like this different kind of way in crisis in the world we did it in a way where people still could have a lot of their freedom and for me freedom is really important blood support isn't likely to fade quickly last year he immortalized the epidemiologist on his epidermis.

about anything. but it's the strength of the universal declaration of human rights freedom of speech and from the basic principle it me is the freedom to express your mind your opinions without the fear that your governments might punish you i take legal action against you but you want to hear from the so we asked around one of freedom of speech ring i mean to you. know to me freedom of speech when it's. all where abilities are power to its 1st well you know results fair without restraint with all its feel granular. i think it's what everybody wars. for the most because i love being a citizen a lonely as opposed to in the be able to express my view without trying to clamp me

down without trying to so what's the east what you choose is where you're called the ability to. call so it was so about how you see people form for the more pure hard. freedom all states still maintain that we need to help but in the long a conscious all i do is to choose shown some balls on elm the human as it stands although i have souls so bring it with me we need simplify.

here's a scenario for you it's election time 100 titian's are throwing around misses and quite often money left. and the election is over they just vanish so one young man in cape town in south africa was tired of what he considered to be empty promises and when the response of our minister visited we'll just see for yourself . like you have never communicated now to highlight we have you on record but you had your investments. and talked nonsense i am saying therefore no wanted i want a confrontation between a politician and an activist caught on camera by social justice activist because he cannot swap boy. in the video minister for human settlements lindiwe sisulu ordered

swat boy to swear to his camera and called him a liar. the background of the incident in january 2021 ministers he superceded the taiwan and foremost settlement in cape town. a few days earlier a fire had destroyed 150 shacks. and rendered hundreds of people homeless. because he cannot walk boy who is part of the group of activists who have been supporting the residents affected by the fire followed the minister during that day on her tour. twenty's who promised support for the victims he confronted her. as they are walking towards their cars i den shouted from the back and said minister let's hope that you want to the same thing that you did in and baldwin in march 2020 where you promised to to rebuild 49 structures that were demolished as the result of an unlawful or illegal eviction she reached for my phone and slipped

it and it fell on to the ground and it is in that point there that i. am knowledge of my safety was a bit compromised because the border guards that i rounded the police officers in trying to get the ministers entourage manhandled activist and ordered him to delete the footage a bystander film thing counter it shows swat boy gesturing and refusing to give up his phone. at that moment i feel for my life because we're seeing in these things happening and we've seen how activists. targeted and killed as a result of politicians. but the story doesn't end there a few days after the incident news portal e w n reported that the minister wanted to open a criminal case against. its none found and explains constitutional law expert to force politicians are the servants of the people. and so they're accountable

to the citizens in many different ways to institute legal action or even criminal action whether an empty threat there is no law that allows for this what people in power often do they threaten legal action to try and intimidate people and that's exactly i think what happened. back in the taiwan informal settlement. with community spokes person. it's been over 3 months since the incident he wants to see what has happened on the ground since minister visited the site where the fire broke out not much has changed. today we haven't get any assistance from the from the government people of libya from the material but to this you can see these are the benches and so they're not

safe at all when it's raining people will be flooded. flooding and fire with the people who need a well built homes to protect them from both and says what boy they must learn to articulate their needs and not accept whatever politicians tell them. we must try within ourselves and find the courage to hold politicians accountable voice out because if we don't do it ourselves no one is going to do. what boy will continue to fight for accountability he knows and of africa and elsewhere in the world it requires active citizens to defend basic human rights. so it is possible to confront even the highest ministers although as we just saw it's not always a risk free here in uganda for example speaking openly and honestly because sometimes landed in hot water the country is run 235th out of 180 countries on the

freedom of speech and press in the state to 20 so it's no wonder that one young man here the decision to express himself turned into a 6 week like where. you had to go once but he came and put a block over my head and 2 pieces of metal were inserted in me here and here. and now he would then be injected me with something here. now we see. these are the scars of apparent torture the injuries of kenneth a still fresh allegedly inflicted by ugandan security forces in the aftermath of the january 2021 elections it was a tightly 40 election contest between uganda's long time president yoweri was 70 and is a much younger opponent the musician turned politician robert chugger line otherwise known as bobby wine but when all was over the fight went on the president was

seventies troops raided the opposition offices and actively sought out the wine supporters. can a sickly or remembers how he was lured to a location in kampala on january the 22nd when he arrived he says security forces forced him into the back of a van. who was going to go through it. called me from the front but then they chained them and hunk off me from behind so i was hunk of like this house transported in this position that he would. last and move forward. then the question who was sitting behind him and sutton me like this and told me to surrender the passer it to my form but i refused. not going to which are the reason why i refused to surrender the password to my phone is because i had just communicated with my people i feared they would want to take them to as

a result i was beaten up and tortured if you. like him hundreds of people were arrested and many of them are still missing more than 50 people were killed by security forces according to the united nations. the policeman took kenneth back to his house they confiscated all his election related documents campaign material and posters of the presidential candidate bobby wine then they put him in a cell where 80 other prisoners were already being held. inside the cell people were not able to sit where they would lie on their backs like this because they were beaten they were beaten everywhere on their joints like this. and they all wounds where it was in past and blood lay used to beat your joints until

you could no longer sit somewhere injective but something in the back and most people were wounded really their situation was not good at all inside there. he spent several weeks in the holding cell where he was tortured again and again chemist's wife a year barry was also briefly detained but quickly released due to her advanced pregnancy she gave birth while kenneth was still in jail. for a while after connect with taken and around 2 weeks after i had given birth they came and threw tear gas into our house. not even i was sleeping and it was about midnight and i heard movement behind the house we knew.

they came and they threw a chair gas canister right through the bathroom window. you know i just ran away with my baby and she still has problems with her eyes as a result of that gas the one i'm going i'm also going to assume she cannot didn't know any of this until much later he spent 6 weeks in jail and he was asked to sign a confession over and over again. drago going to board the prosecutor told me to see that it will be one is planning to walk through the government using the help of foreignness while president was elected by the people of uganda. they wanted to hear that will be one wants to bring violence in the country yet 70 has to maintain peace in the country then he told me that after agreeing to confess i'll be given 500000000 ugandan shillings which is about 115000 euros i told them i can't come 1st but he told me i am

stupid and i do not understand and that this is how i will die die in poverty. to ramadi for a moment i'm going to look for kenneth was released on bail and officially charged as a common nuisance it was 7 years government strategy seems simple by forcing confessions they want to criminalize the opposition in order to legitimize their rule and regain the trust of the people but that seems difficult after all that has already happened i need justice in my country for nice. people every day every night and. for my sink for eating for their nation so i'm doing this because this country. well we can all agree that that's a difficult situation but i want us to stay in the region and hope over the border is something that i guarantee you it's not the easiest thing to do but our next

report comes from south sudan where we're meeting some young women who thought well we don't only want to change politicians or challenge them we also want to change and challenge our entire society so this sort of the radio show called gender talk to 11 where they talk about feminism because believe it or not issues like free issues or childbirth but also just women raising their voices as. still things that people believe we should rather sit behind closed doors. today is a show day for even she's presenting gender talk to 11 a radio show aimed at opening up the conversation around gender equality and women's rights in juba south sudan. today we're talking yet the most controversial topic that i have on this show they're discussing them is a religion feminism that's a word that still in south sudan it's a patriarchal society where women are expected to bear children and you're on the

household they are really involved in decision making outside their homes we have no those bases that are comfortable enough for women to talk about their issues or to talk about their struggle or our spaces that give women an opportunity to create 8 something better for themselves changing the narrative well that we want to do with this space or this radio show. gender stereotype single motherhood menstruation the discussions covered daily life challenges for women with a clear agenda to shake up the norms then we have also religion of christianity religion that is then poking about to be. pressed up on one. but gender talk to $11.00 is not only by women for women co-host sam is determined to prove that men can also be feminists. we feel that the minute supposed to handle issues in the set up but when men come up to

start to talk about some of these things are the men who are. not being realizing that they actually played a huge joy in that because for me to also speak of us with gender talk to 11 on the launched a few months ago but the story started on social media. a passionate women's rights activist is the person who came up with the idea. i started trying to understand women's rights and i think that's i was floating got sucked into the world process to just see you know what equals human beings and to just realize the oppression and the discrimination the women and girls face to just open my eyes to the right of gender dynamics that i didn't see ask issues grow with now because you assume a life. like many young south sudanese other well grew up in exile the country was a war a few years after its independence from sudan in 2011 she came back and took up

a fight. the fact that people are getting roughed up means you're touching nerves that people don't want to be touched so that means he's telling them the beautiful thing and i'm in his insights are here and i do have a lot of you know young men in the great 15 minutes. identically on the show gains a good number of fans but the negative comments on social media also took that told it's basically an insult it's harassment by i think sticking through it somehow it was sort of you know we're starting to define our spaces as women online as well you know it's not the big one mendelian sodomy retreat that people who are just fighting back especially or minus been very helpful because i'm in a state now where they know they can't break. and while they're fighting back they're holding fast on bringing the message to those who need it most the women. some of us go through things and they don't understand that that's not the norm

it's not supposed to be like that there needs to be a change to happen if we don't have those conversations i don't see any change happening. toeing the line between traditional and modern life while at the same time fighting discrimination is no easy task but the fact that these young women making their voices heard is already proof that some change is on the way. wow some incredibly strong women there making their voices heard but you know in many parts of the world there are unwritten and sometimes even written rules about what you can say or can't see in uganda for example absolutely no one would criticize the king of gondor who still plays a central role in this society but there are similar rules in different countries and there are always ways to bend these rules in zimbabwe a group of young people are doing this through comedy and a quick warning before we head into this report the 1st scene shows a woman apparently giving birth but it's a skit by the comedians it's not real and the people involved have given us permission to show it so no worries. this is

a parody but it reflects a reality isn't bought with. regularity. oh my people here do i don't know about 4 to. 5 for. many zimbabweans still don't have access to good health care. and their weekly skits maggie and 2 young female comedians talk about the daily issues affecting their fellow citizens. a lot of women are facing difficulties. delivering their babies. who finding mammy lou was when the flaw so my giving bears in public transport was is this. said the channel bus stop t.v. started as an experiment among friends they posted this get some social media and then they quickly grew in popularity.
