i'm melissa chana thank you for joining us as india's covert crisis continues to hammer its health care system a shortage of oxygen is making matters worse in delhi hospitals are taking to twitter to ask for help and turning away patients because of low supplies as. reports volunteer groups are now having to step in to help. the nation home has spent the last 2 days right. under the rug in front of a sikh temple 50 kilometers from home. the son passed the flu nobody. has also developed the $60.00 lung infection. he needs to be hospitalized but his father says even this week shipped enjoyment is a blessing. for these people who are working 24 hours providing oxygen cylinders
6:32 pm
otherwise it's very difficult to get oxygen offered to get a bed in a hospital this morning i visited 15 or 20 hospitals to look for a bed for him and you know there isn't a single but all of them refused to let me. on the last duty. that has been things seem to be your shortage of medical oxygen. this isn't life saving last resort a free oxygen service run by cars to help a sikh group one in 2 years you are considered the disks they are ticking to be secondary to the central tenet of service and because in several of them have already been infected. but don't see it done as they aren't afraid they'd see they must do something to save these. gergen david i go home to see what was it the whole time i told her good bye bye past have a stoplight even though it's the even support we are getting whatever that is and i would ask the same story that he likes and this is
6:33 pm
a time that people are even afraid to have i don't respect their helicopters. every family member. of going. to group has 9 trucks spouting nearby non person and. the oxygen hero is provided for free space instant then we all be rushed to kill many last minutes and then he has taught taking in your patients because of the often cry for putting out s.o.s. messages on twitter begging for. and they only have our number one minute of oxygen left. this hospital is one of the previous night was a clue she after reading thought was that oxygen diving authorities on twitter and even reducing extant rules to such systems levels to make it last longer oh the hospital got supplies in the nickel dime doctors here tell us that supplies that used to last them do reeks now evaporate in 36 ounce they cannot predict if the
6:34 pm
next round will reach them one time dunning of patients followed just to good reasons is heartbreaking for dr brain reader feels many of these places hopelessly believing in this profession because it is because they wanted to help other people through their sickness and in this if they're not given. that by itself is a big thing and the most modern in all of them a very few do get lucky back at the oxygen so. has finally managed to arrange a bed for his son immediately he's still in the it's cruel towards another patient . to leap into the oxygen crisis hero. every live good breath is a gift. joining us and we should gys well who filed that report and michel on monday an official from the federal government insisted there
6:35 pm
was no shortage of oxygen anywhere in the country well we just saw your report why on earth would he say the opposite. so be ironic if that technically he is not dr humes of very large quantity of oxygen more stop it is useful in doctor to book as this but given the crisis when one of the graduate now it has been busy directed for medical use there's a huge challenge for have been transporting the stock citizens because most of these guns are next located next to the innocuous misuse them now most of the insurgent produced in india is towards the east of the country as the health ministry points out the crisis as i could think in the center and west of the country transporting oxygen is not simple if you cannot fly it out so the indian air force has been engaged to fly out in deep down close to the splines and an express train to have been engaged to then deep is also the oxygen that those that
6:36 pm
have been now spirit filled up hospitalised but this process is the last floor because the still aren't enough tankers this do not address the lenders and this is causing the bottlenecks that is exacerbating the crisis that they're seeing in the country it's really fascinating that logistics has been something that people have had to think about a public health officials have been warning of for a month spoke with about a covert search and an oxygen supply issue which they could have clearly planned for so why were they heeded and what have they been saying about fixing the problem . well yes melissa just ruled that many experts and not pointing out that it was just on an earlier even when it comes to addressing some support issues even if my production issue was this new then have at least 200 you won't even have a way to build this kind of a massive surge was not predicted even though they were looking to a new one and that we should put it at least a slight uptick perhaps even was
6:37 pm
a significant uptick in gifts for example it took many almost 6 months for the government to slaughter standards for the establishment of someone 60 doctors who got attached to a hospital that's now imagine oxygen that's right beside a hospital the transport issue would be sought however book was 2 of these are not preached over and yet now going forward the government has said they will be transporting nitrogen johnson to lots of diamonds they will be using microchip for us to transport oxygen they also imported ied from different countries have sent out 8 even in the form of cylinders to implement this kind of transport but of course at this point let me just speak to believe that it already is for many people who have lost their lives to it or to a lack of oxygen well other than the oxygen supply issue what are the other challenges facing the health care system right now. to help get. us the country is very tense and almost crumbling in many parts even from the very
6:38 pm
source diagnostic tests of a hard to come across all of the government has put out a mandate seeing those who have left for the job would not have them don't do not need to be just to test negative do diagnostic tests in the descended on g.'s dining out of bed it's running out of medicines so inch and there is a problem even finding care for most patients in addition cities like mumbai have done a very bad coming up the boy who wants these are missing in cities like delhi need help patients find beds find find appropriate hospitals and the lack of this is causing chaos in big cities as well as relieve. lots of challenges facing the country as well always thank you for joining us and as her report showed many people have stepped forward to volunteer during this crisis spoke to one health activist who described how she and her colleagues are coping. i mean i think it's extremely distressing you know
6:39 pm
a lot of fuss and on getting enough sleep we usually working around the clock that have been. you know some of us have been sleeping once in 48 oz. data is a sense of you know despair when you're not able to help patients. you know you are having to help patients get oxygen at home but now we also get s.o.s. calls from patients when admitted in hospitals and that's a complicated because when somebody's beach is out there you'll find an i.c.u. bed you also have to ensure that the hospital has adequate oxygen and you know we're not we don't have access to system resources to be able to go all of that and i think i don't think a lot of us at reprocessing the emotional toll that this is taking you know a lot of young volunteers are dealing with cases red patients or not surviving i think that is this you know gender feeling of guilt for not being able to do everything to do really save the patient and i think that all very very aware of the limitations that we're facing. be you know out for number as
6:40 pm
a public we get constant calls for help be able to respond to some people who are not able to respond to some people. but but yes we're trying to set up a more organized form of you know providing support and psychosocial support to each other. and in fact yesterday i spoke to all of this you know i'm asking her if she can do some group sessions online for one deals so that we can deal with this collective trauma and at all he thing and i also and he and i also feel for the you know for the for what's going to happen once all of this you know until goes down. being stateless without documents saying you're a citizen of one country or the other can't happen if you become a refugee or migrate across borders where the government doesn't accommodate you comers the u.n. estimates there are about 4200000 stateless people in the world at that figure is likely much much higher and the impact of not having official identity plays out in
6:41 pm
the most unexpected ways here's one story from pakistan. sagna is one of pakistan's best young gymnast. as is her sister. but behind the smiles lies a life of invisibility. many difficulties we have no citizenship i can't take part in international competitions i'm trying my best to get my pakistani citizenship. the girls are part of the country's bengali minority and although both were born in pakistan they remain stateless the pakistani government considers some bengalis illegal immigrants they have no legal documents from either pakistan or bangladesh according to the united nations there are millions of people like them across the world they have no nationality and no country recognizes them as citizens even if they've lived in a place for generations. 65 percent of the population of this community
6:42 pm
which is a community of $800000.00 people is. speaking and it's a vicious cycle without citizenship the girls are stuck unable to reach their full potential. we are at this point the best gymnastics team probably in the country we have been winning into school regularly every year for the past 4 years we are at this stage where we can go ringback for international trading where we can have access to internet through trina's which it is not possible for us to go do today some of the identity of the girls have put a lot of effort into their gymnastics stream and there's been no shortage of athletic recognition. now you have people i have been training here for 5 years i've won 4 awards and 2 for best gymnast and my each category. but 1st anya and it's more than aesthetic recognition that's needed as long as you deny the right to

trickles back into the eternal city hall reporter talks to romans who are setting their hopes on a swift return of the italian capital's. popularity. and still shining bright at 60 as george clooney celebrates the big 600 you take a person a look back at the american actors career through the ari's of one of his collaborators . welcome to arts and culture france is marking 200 years since the death of napoleon bonaparte the self declared former emperor who seized power during the french revolution has traditionally been celebrated for his military prowess and efforts to expand france's empire but in a modern era way europe's colonial past is increasingly being dissected his legacy has taken on a new more sinister meaning many people are only now we discovering his more controversial initiatives such as the reintroduction of slavery after it was
6:46 pm
abolished france's youngest leader since napoleon is president and. despite calls to boycott the anniversary the strong critic of today's so-called council culture is set to lay a wreath at the former and put to bed. and my colleague adrian kennedy joins me now adrian why is the way he's being celebrated quite so controversial. for many the ways that napoleon is worshipped as a national icon in france is that best on reflects its if not downright offensive now there are those who celebrate him as a military commander who built an empire in the starfish to morton central our state but for all those fees war mongering tyrants who suppress the more. and reintroduce slavery now this new exhibition it's called napoleon is no more it's one of many. marking the bison team does it do if i'd finally done well this
6:47 pm
exhibition actually focuses on the way that napoleon sought to define his own legacy in his final years after being exiled to sink and then by the british this exile and the former emperors death far from his beloved france was depicted in many arts works and contributed to establishing him as a martyr figure even the english poet lord byron came to see him as something of a curse acute it romantic hero a flawed genius if you like and that image of napoleon has persisted it has of course it's a great story and it's been brought to the big screen a number of times 1st and foremost in 1927 this is a. classic french silent movie hollywood of course came home on the heels they had to go to. napoleon was played by want steiger.
6:48 pm
this is the 970 movie waterloo so it's all recently this was the dominant the problem was depicted in popular culture swashbuckling hero adventurer who defined french glory if you like but now this image is being challenged right in the wake of vocal anti racism process in from. the podiums reintroduction of slavery in 82 has become the subject of debate now descendants of slaves. have been speaking out insisting that it's not appropriate to celebrate napoleon saying this they've descendants too still today feel they have less resources that it's difficult for them to seek success and that they are barred from certain things so it's not just its authority. it's it's has
6:49 pm
relevance to today ok but historians have also been going at it tooth and nail have a. friend there from the podium foundation says it's a shame that this has been brought up in the anniversary year he's saying this is part of the bad side of council culture but dominique telephone from the. slavery memorial foundation says it's not rewriting or raising history it's enriching history as you say it will lay a reef to commemorate snorts to celebrate the occasion and he will condemn slavery as an abomination in a speech like right very good adrian my colleague adrian kennedy thanks so much for that background thank you. now one of the great capitals of european art is of course rome if you've visited you'll know the city is packed with archaeological treasures and usually chock a block with tourists for every a year that's obviously not been the case but even the most famous cultural

6:52 pm
14 months in people are experiencing fatigue they're reopening is welcomed by many but this calculated risk as italy's prime minister mahathir rocky put it could have an forseeable consequences according to experts mostly ficci day it always very difficult to take a calculated risk during an epidemic because at the very moment we realize the virus is reemerging it's always too late that the. tourguide ellen and the only on the other hand would like to see a further easing of restrictions such as official guidelines on tourism that would make it easier for people from other regions of italy and even overseas to visit and connect with the city's rich heritage i want to go back to my job i want to actually show the people all the visitors that are coming to all these i want to make it all my camelot. for more on what would be waiting we love newco

drawer rarely has a fictional bank robber been this charming. the 1st time he wrote. to him great to smile or rather sweet only for being able. to get very pretty smile down to his smile turns 60 years old this week george clooney heartthrob superstar and hollywood hero the actor and director has a well earned reputation for charming everyone he encounters. as seen in this german t.v. interview from more than 20 years ago. whined that they are the most important things. cops. most important things are friends. among those friends is a german cinematographer martino who who lives in berlin and los angeles he got his start shooting commercials and music videos which then led to jobs in hollywood
6:55 pm
jobs on this i was going alone but george and i met on the set of a film called the american georges someone who keeps working with the same people he's got a kind of work family around him he doesn't put on airs he doesn't lose his temper on set and he's friendly to his crew and he has a lot of respect for the artists he works with conservative. you could. see. charm and vulnerability are among the qualities that make clooney as hitman in the american so interesting who is camera captured clooney is dramatic and elegant portrayal after that shoot in italy the 2 met up again there in 2018 for the mini series catch $22.00 an adaptation of the satirical antiwar novel set on the u.s. military base in the mediterranean during world war 2 clooney directed 2 episodes and played a neurotic major. props in. their film collaboration's even took martina wood to the arctic for the midnight sky the

post-apocalyptic science fiction adventure was visually lavish as both director and lead actor clooney showed his typical lack of vanity relying completely on his team . it's good government marshall sometimes there are actors who say don't shoot me from their place the light over there george has never done that with midnight sky at some point i said if we do it like that with you live from below you look older and he said yes that's the right thing for the character he was playing a dying old man and it didn't bother him that he looked like one this is also also . clearly has a long used his celebrity to draw attention to. political issues even before marrying human rights lawyer amal clooney but he's also known for not taking himself too seriously as shown when he accepted a best actor oscar for his role as a cia agent in syria and possibly george clooney. such as melayu
6:57 pm
$9072.00 time to time sexiest man alive but even they get older but george clooney seems to have a relaxed attitude towards aging maybe because he didn't become a star until his thirty's now entering his sixty's he's settling into character roles and working as a director and producer which all offer the prospect of a long career to come. write stuff at the end of this edition but of course there's more on our website thanks for joining me and goodbye .
