citizens with that since no one had the explosives in you have or ordering these vaccines on time but you need your toes out and really need your back to the set of india which the use of the manufacture of the vaccine said that they were not given enough funds that they were fully behind the us was blocking the all material that was crucial to supply or. not what does happen please that has changed us it's not that it was just all of these but this we have to do really. interact with this expansion of the trade you must also know more than the indian government insists that it does have are not those as there are concerns of them to focus not advantaged. and yet those getting the vaccine right now are still the lucky few how's it looking for everyone else why you are in

delhi. right now at the only cases very should have been the word out how to say which hospital. this is not a faction of the state governments and by and austin this pad higher price don't insist on. but since these are just not available only also can be right now all getting access to the fact remains that because it concerns about inequality when you have an abstraction of this. correspondent nations as well thanks so much. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world at least 24 people have been killed in a car bombing in afghanistan's province more than 100 others are wounded the attack comes as the u.s. and nato allies begin formally withdrawing troops from the country after a 20 year war with the taliban. international negotiators have reported progress in

often seen heavy clashes on may 1st and officials say the pandemic has increased tensions today. and in delhi is there at that rally at that rally in berlin judea tell us how authentic looking there now. so at the moment the demonstration has come to an end about an hour ago that organizes the over after clashes broke out and now the police is trying to clear out the situation here we saw the demonstrations starting peacefully in the beginning but only after half an hour or an hour from it starts we saw clashes breaking out and we saw demonstrators setting fire to trash bins and 2 wooden pallets. stones and bottles being thrown at police we heard some police have been injured and we've seen people being arrested and taken away by the police now

there have obviously been coded related restrictions in place today including a 10 pm curfew did people respect them by and large. so yeah at the beginning of the demonstration most people we saw were mare wearing masks and trying to adhere to social distancing it became tricky because it was not a lot of space for a lot of people and social distancing became a little trickier one points the police decided that one part of the demonstration wasn't during those measures that was the last part of the demonstration the groups taking part there and the police declared that they were interviewing to social distancing they weren't wearing masks and so they decided to stop at that part of the demonstration that is what then escalated in clashes both there and at the start of the demonstration the part that stopped and waited for the rest of the people to join but that never happened because the clashes and arrest erupted and

what have police expecting for the rest of the night. so the nighttime curfew has just started here in berlin and police are now clearing out the area there so a lot of people on the streets we've seen police just a few minutes before our live here cleaning out this area trying to push people to go home police have said they're going to try to make people on the street respect the curfew so we'll have to see whether they manage to do it as there are still people a lot of people on the streets here. at 1st of may rally here in berlin thanks so much. to kenya now a reporter has been injured after police fired tear gas canisters at a crowd of demonstrators in nairobi a moment that was captured on camera our east africa correspondent was covering a protest over coronavirus restrictions job losses and police brutality with her

that but then i the next thing that i heard or felt was you know another shot and then i just felt like this burning pain in my thigh and i saw that this kind of stress of this kid as that they you know launched from a real weapon so it's not just you know they don't throw it it's it's really a weapon so it's really strong and the impact was really strong so yeah that's what i that's what i experience today. in nairobi. now in formula one must say these drivers valtteri bottas and lewis hamilton dominated qualifying ahead of the portuguese crown pretty hamilton was hoping to secure the 100th pole position of his career but he was edged out by his teammate process who set the fastest time by less than 100 ths of a 2nd the grand prix and part of mao is the 3rd race of the 2021 season. now argentine football icon diego maradona's brain surgeon and the medical staff

for adults live in the home of sylvia de hayes 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 virus 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 of us can it all i can find a vaccine this is a mega operation we are now able to administer mass vaccinations in this center we will inoculate about $10000.00 people per week for nuclear organized which i used to be a 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. 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 since i've put 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 nationwide lockdown 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. if i could get books longer predestines with x you need 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. 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 russians but by taxing this business model is gaining momentum in russia and demand is high especially among german tourists. with a tiny needle prick and a covert 1000 vaccine sputnik v. enters heintz get pink n l's blood stream. it's certified as being highly f. acacias pinkard l. is one of several germans who pay 2000 euros for a vaccination vacation his wife is also getting a dose of sputnik v. . just for the richards

a few great i didn't even feel the job. 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 on public matters i wasn't off. the 2 departed from frankfurt today i go there among the 1st 18 tourists who pull the 4 day trip to moscow. the return of 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 to target. the media are out in force to meet the would be vaccinated. yes russia's government is happy too it wants sputnik v. to be a top export 60 countries have certified it for use the european union is more hesitant doubts 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 work for some of our staff and generate some revenue as we otherwise wouldn't have and for russia it's peor and solves a couple of german problems as well. sputnik v. 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 boys need to be. with you they should come to russia where the best. with them let them have their vaccinations are 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 you know heading to moscow visitors says

bookings are surging. sweden has taken a unique approach to the corona virus pandemic the government's 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 sweetie. have been skiing shopping dining in drinking restrictions in swedish restaurants means 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

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 there on park 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 possible public health problem if they make it more tighter that everyone should make it and should wear a mask that would be very important maybe we could have spare some life so

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 tech now he represented like this different kind of way to handle a crisis in the world we did it in a way where people still could have their a lot of their freedom and for me freedom is really important agra blood support isn't likely to fade quickly last year he immortalized the epidemiologist on his epidermis.
