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. be near this or before people. to refrain from will to the hospitals. 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 matlab 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 the lack of tests is 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 them. 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 all full time ask 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 who is back i picked up on my own or. he died because he couldn't supply it will figure i was working in the mortuary where i couldn't pick up the phone. the words i was able to see before he was already part of a. very good movie go for about. an international relief effort is underway

it was 2 states have said to me do not happen that do exist please do not come out and queue outside back and just be a little late to your in rehab do this quickly and if you do it's now that you document it out steeds to my direct the format factors which may be had been hiding somewhere just but in addition dilute few people who are getting vaccinated to dig are getting vaccinated at trying which was this because the government just sort of nationalist dissenting time which was this but at a higher price so dull that i was getting that's needed to be a dose of quite who can afford to be for the axioms and this once again that bush behind those who cannot afford it so very difficult situation indeed in india is correspondent emissions yes well thank you so much for your reporting all right let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world. from monday australia will ban anyone who has recently been in india from entering the country that's including its own citizens and residents rule breakers

face fines or even jail time the government says the move is necessary in light of the rising number of infections in india. israel is burying the 1st victims of a stampede at a jewish pilgrimage scient at least $45.00 people were killed and many more were injured at the ultra-orthodox celebration of the law but omar holiday at mountain iran israel's prime minister has promised a full investigation and the event was authorized 410000 people but local media say 90000 attended. the united states begins of withdrawal of its troops from afghanistan today bringing its 20 year presence to an end it will be matched by the pullout of all remaining nato forces it is a big turning point for afghans the past 2 decades have brought a lot of change especially for afghan women and girls can now go to school and

women have entered the political arena and also the work force but with the taliban becoming more powerful they worry that these gains could be lost after foreign troops leave. so harley zada 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. the feeling 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 and i don't know the. son who works here at the tailors 5 days a week. the shops owner a lot like a xeni opened her business 3 years ago she employs 38 women there are no men working in her shop that. i want to show everyone that women can do just as much as

men that's why i opened my tailor's shop it was important for me to prove that women can work and that they're 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. 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 other than to sit on the 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. 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. show. used to feel scared when i was out of my own i didn't know whether i'd get home alive and i hope these times are never repeated and that we can live in peace and security you know to be and hold on to hope go to. work peace and security are basic human needs that remain privileges for afghan women. and we can now speak to i hate

shalini she is an afghan canadian human rights activist filmmaker and artist based in munich germany thank you so much for being on our program now i'd like to ask you if you share the concerns of some of the women we just saw in our reports who are worried about what is going to happen after foreign troops withdraw from afghanistan are you worried. yes i think i think every single african is worried woman or man for. withdrawal of the of the troops from afghanistan. we're not talking about the seen afghanistan as let's say 20 years ago where there were only taliban that we had to deal with we have 22. extremist groups that are active regionally nationally and internationally in there and now we know that in parts of afghanistan where the taliban right now are or aren't present right now women do not have a lot of rights and the the claim to allow women to do their work and to go to

school that is not the case because there have been reports and there are substantial reports that that is not the case so that is of course alarming to everybody because as they start leaving the troops are starting to leave today it's you wonder whether we go back fall back to taliban era again and even worse because of all of this these other extremist groups as well. and now in your opinion what are the most important examples of progress made over the past 20 years and what do you believe should be the way forward to prevent deserve what's been achieved. in every aspect of society there has been progress whether it's been in the political arena. system let's not forget that afghanistan the population of afghanistan is i think 6364 percent of the population is under 27 years old this is for young population so most of these of this generation have been born either during the

taliban regime or right after post taliban and these are the ones that have really made a lot of progress and of course the the ministers there the women ministers and civil society business women that have opened doors for these young younger generation makes a huge difference now if you talk about how how how it should be in the future but if they come let's say worst case scenario they come in on the take over the government let's protect the constitution or canister because the constitution of afghanistan and the clauses that protect women and minorities should not be touched and that is very very important right now he has a hole in the afghan canadian human rights activist filmmaker artist thank you so much for sharing your insights and for having me. all for most of us part is have been out of the question for a long time but now in the british city of liverpool that is changing after more than a year of club closures $3000.00 people have been allowed to pack
