sides with drug developers plus with less than 5 months to federal elections germany's environmentalists greens are enjoying a popularity bounce polling ahead of concept. and extraterrestrial treat for wine lovers a bottle and age on the international space station is up for auction with an astronomical i stop it. as welcome to the program india is registering records daily covert 900 deaths and infections officials report more than 400000 new cases in the last day almost 4000 people died international aid is now flowing in to support overwhelmed hospitals india has been hit hard by

a new variant mass gatherings recent religious and political rallies have also been blamed for spreading the virus. that's not branded. chief. what's the situation today you had another record a rise in the number of new infections not just underscores that misty very much in the midst of the 2nd wave office a pandemic cases are rising and they continue to rise but in some places there is hope because things have improved a little bit in number of cases in the last 20 plus a little also mumbai is showing some signs of improvement and these are the 2 cities which were hardest hit but in other parts the country this money huge surge in cities and in states in the east in the in the south in states where the recent regional elections it's been a huge surge in the number of new infections but what is most running again had is

what's happening in rural india reports are coming in from the northern state of the british their distance from the villages every 2nd quarter has seen a dect this continues that's something we really need to keep an eye on because if it spreads in rural india we will just reach another dimension in the spend and that's a rather grim picture that the international aid that is arriving in india doesn't make any difference any palpable difference and certainly germany has just sent a huge plane load of equipment into india one flew to right yesterday evening was right in the evening and what they've sent is a massive move by oxygen generating plant this when it's deployed and when it's assembled and deployed in the next couple of days it has the capacity to generate 400000 liters of oxygen. so when you ask that makes a difference certainly to make a difference to the base where it's been deployed it's being deployed in

a military hospital which has been open to civilians because all. it was the scent of medical stuff on the buddhist back which is going to be cleaned up people are going to be using it and it you know assembling make sure that stuff what's the political back and they had to do with the red cross so certainly for those who have access to this hospital it will certainly make a huge difference what about oxygen supply as we've heard in the rain in recent days and weeks we've heard a lot about oxygen supplies that really is the main problem to get oxygen for all those sick people is there any difference to be expected soon. you know him again have to understand the scale of the problem you know that the demand for oxygen has gone up still going forward in the last few weeks even read the worst supplies didn't run out of supplies because demand has gone up so much for example daley's or is asking for $700.00 metric tons of oxygen gets less than

half the concert got involved they are asking the central government you must ensure adequate supplies to all parts of the country but even in places like in the south they had adequate dressed up this suggests running out and used to keep getting stories but in southern india in chennai the city that the production because the hospital ran out of oxygen so was the situation still remains quite tense yesterday the prime minister in that interim will be held another now the meeting an urgent response this and to be must get rid of all these to stand and something that i've been suggesting need an audit oxygen. thank you mary. never in the poll is also struggling to contain an explosion in cases vaccines are in short supply and nearly half of those tested are positive it's fear the situation may be as bad if not worse than in india after suspended tend to hold the virus.

getting out while they still can. these passengers are on the last flights out of kathmandu as new poll suspends international air travel. over you because you just i'm glad that i'm able to leave nepal where the covert 19 situation is getting really bad. like neighboring india nepal is reeling from a deadly 2nd wave of the coronavirus the porous border between the 2 countries has contributed to skyrocketing case numbers. in the polls main towns and cities are in lockdown the health ministry says the situation is unmanageable doctors and nurses are being pushed to their limits. to date we have not turned anyone away without providing them with oxygen. but the situation is getting complicated.

was the view of under our colleagues are working very hard they are on duty for 24 hours we have even been giving oxygen to patients in chairs. nepal has called for international help as case numbers hit record highs the country's neglected health care system is facing collapse. with the lockdown in place many migrant workers have returned from the cities to their homes in rural areas while katmandu is hospital struggle to save lives fear is growing of outbreaks in the remote regions lacking health care infrastructure. here are some other developments in the global pandemic germany's health minister says new covert 900 cases are falling but warns of weeks or months of more restrictions australian nationals stranded in india might be able to return home later this month we packed or asian flights are resuming and new york city wants to offer vaccines to tourists jobs will be given out at times square and other attractions germany is

skeptical about coastal lift coronavirus vaccine patton's some experts believe sharing the formula of vaccines can mean faster inoculations spot the german government is sided with the pharmaceutical industry. it says the protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and must remain so in the future the limiting factor in the creation of vaccines or production couple capacities and high quality standards not the patents but the proposal to temporarily wave patents on covert 19 vaccines powerful supporters the us backs the idea and the e.u. too says it is open to discussion. perhaps it's pictures like these from india that sparked a change of heart. the u.s. announced its support for waiving vaccine patients on wednesday soon after the e.u. said that it too would be willing to talk about it. some months aid

organizations have raised the alarm about how vaccines are being distributed with poor and middle income countries left behind. we need our governments to push the vaccine manufacturers to transfer the technology to transfer know how and to help other manufacturers around the world scale up production but the pharmaceutical industry sees things differently they say producing vaccines is a highly complex process and that allowing the vaccines to be replicated by others could impact safety and quality what happens now is in the hands of the w.t.r. but a quick decision appears unlikely. he's a member of parliament for the opposition socialist left. mr levy what do you think about the german government's move to refuse.

i think this is a very very bad decision if you look at our neighbors it's a polish government or it's a french government or it's a secretary general of god health organization or the u n general secretary and when you're with tariffs everyone is supporting this waiver only the german government is on the side of the pharmaceutical industry i don't think that this is a very wise decision. very little immediate impact because of bottlenecks in manufacturing and delivery of vaccines what impact do you think a waiver would actually have. we have seen this this report from india a few minutes ago and the indian government was asking begging on the side of south africa for such a way of they are not all stupid people there and over a 100 governments are asking for this waiver i don't think that the german

government is much wider if it is only bringing a little bit to help this covert crisis we should do it. trade representative of the u.s. government catherine tate has said it we are in extraordinary circumstances and this needs extraordinary measures we are supporting the u.s. government but our government doesn't the german government said intellectual property is a source of innovation pharma companies that have invested billions into developing these do they have a point. yes but the german public's the german taxpayers have invested a lot in those companies so we have helped them to invent all these very very important vaccines and we don't want to cancel intellectual property rights at all it is just about covert 19 vaccines and i think this would be

a very good and very important step well finds is already selling their vaccine cheaper to low income countries on a non profit basis don't you think that's enough. i'm on the side of india of south africa of over 100 countries of important organizations like doctors without borders and so on i think you could debate to to some gifts from companies but you can make decisions too and this is what states are about and this is what sort of all trade organization is about and i i really cannot imagine that the german government would block such. an action if the u.s. government is supporting it stephanie a member of the part and member of parliament for the opposition socialist left party thank you very much. thank you. and joining me now for more on this is thomas queen he's the director general of

the t.n.a. that's the global association of farm suitable research companies are you opposing this patent waiver and if so why. patton ray brewer didn't really address the problem because when you look at the images speed from india on a part of which we have just seen we need immediate action and immediate action the best we can do right now is we need more solid than a t. from the rich countries with the current contras because of the indian emergency situation as supplies from indian manufacturers to curb access to global sorry danity initiative have triggered and we need to act fast what we see right now is you have the u.s. and some other countries not vaccinating healthy young adults and in africa we have almost nothing therefore we need from each country as europe started debate who wouldn't give you a single edition descried tonight because the bottlenecks

a different and we are deeply conscious of doing everything we can leaving no stone unturned to expand capacity and by the way to work with the developing country vaccine manufacturers we have 275 partnership deals we have more than 200 technology transfer i've just 10 days ago had a media conference with the leaders of the indian vaccine manufacturers and they said the same sweetie did d. focus on peyton's is basically conceived because it wouldn't rest in neat for no hard to not screw for erling that those manufacturing pate at the vaccines do have this case sets. pfizer has already sold $3500000000.00 worth of this vaccine and critics are saying. pfizer and other drug makers have made

enough already enough sales already through this pandemic would you agree. this is not about you know making money when i look at we have had several of the largest vaccine manufacturers like m. is he likes on our feet like g s k they don't have a vaccine yet which means you have companies like pfizer bio and egg succeeding johnson and johnson as for seneca and what they are doing is acting socially responsible they do say these vaccines at not for profit on full cost or even below cost to developing countries that's what we need to do they do team up with partners in developing countries we do have a new partnership for example with a company like bear on know about this they would not even in the vaccine business dead nih come to help out and that's what's happening we have convened convened a global vaccine supply chain manufacturing summit where we looked at what are the

problems the problems of the trite balance starting by the way with the united states with the defense production act which kinda sex will ensue from gradients to india to problems of scarcity of raw materials and it's not quite true that you know to private sectors just benefited from public money when you look at bio integra madell not to with messenger on day technology this goes back for 2 years and they got a lot of. times going that the director general of the global association of pharmaceutical research companies many fans thank you. and here are some other stories making headlines around the world and the u.s. state of idaho a 12 year old girl shot and wounded 2 students and staff member at her school the shooter was disarmed by a female teacher authorities in the town of rigby are investigating how the girl

look very different that's because the greens for the 1st time in 2 years take the lead in the polls with 26 percent that's a full 4 points ahead of chancellor angela merkel's conservative bloc would win only 23 percent their worst showing since this survey began the center left social democrats lose 2 points coming in at 14 percent the far right if he gets 12 gaining the liberals there if he win 2 points to clock 11 percent socialist left party loses one to 6 percent and now the graphics are finally appearing. so quite big news there let's go straight to our political chief medical correspondent linda crane linda how do we explain this remarkable success of the green party in germany. well you know it's a remarkable success that's been 40 years in coming that's how long the green party

has been working to shed its image as a fringe one issue party to get its left wing more or less on the same page with more pragmatic party members and to put its main topic climate and environment so firmly on the agenda that other parties have copied it so now it is for the 1st time a serious contender to lead the next government and this in a long term sense is all about party discipline about messaging and about leadership sure tone though the success is not so much about the climate issue which is a problem that it in the minds of voters but as we can see from this latest survey not as high priority as the pandemic this is very much about the party's chances or candidate on a lady baldock she has sparked a surge of enthusiasm especially on the part of germans who during the pandemic have grown tired of the current mainstream grand coalition and are definitely looking for a change. of the greens kind of chancellor is the most popular candidate in the race for now if germany's chancellor was to be voted for directly

but would win with 28 percent conservative candidates would be considered considerably behind with $21.00 and that's exactly the same result as the social democrats counter that. would reach melinda is really that popular or is it that the other candidates are that unpopular. the green chancellor candidate definitely is popular and she has been making the most of her lack of experience in government saying she will make up for it with a fresh new approach a large share of those surveyed say that she comes across as the most likable and the most trustworthy of the main candidates and 7 percent more say they would vote for her directly if they could than for either of the other 2 main chancellor candidates candidates who are very much known commodities from the mainstream parties the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. mr lasher from the c.d.u.

in particular enjoys only lukewarm support even within his own party it has seen one strong support fall as germans become increasingly frustrated with pandemic setbacks in the country's sluggish vaccine rollout but we need to keep in mind that we have seen this kind of surge in popularity for a surprise candidate before think of the s.p.d. candidate in 2017 martin schultz who had far stronger numbers than and later babcock does right now only to see that surge peter out before the election. to go correspondent melinda crane thank you melinda. belong to brazil now at least 25 people have been killed off the heavily armed police stormed a poor neighborhood in rio de janeiro police say they followed protocol when the targeting of drug trafficking but residents and rights activists accuse them of using excessive force united nations is calling for an independent investigation some viewers might find the following pictures unsettling.
