the crisis there in the queue to be vaccinated but the roll in slow and johnson in short supply. international aid has begun pouring into india. supplies of medical equipment. as other countries wake up to the scale of the tragedy and the threat posed to their own population. but the aid cannot arrive quick enough to slow down the dying. families are helpless as their loved ones succumb to what researches say is a far more infectious strain of the virus. but there is anger too. with some asking why the government to decided to allow election rallies and other large events. call it the system or government or whatever was it necessary to conduct elections right now. for this family and countless others that

question comes too late. to change is covering the story emirates bad news more shocking saying what's the latest there. 4000 deaths in a single day and that's just the official number now concern is really great about what's happening in rural areas due to is coming in which shows that this 2nd wave has affected or who are looking to land much less than in the 1st way specially in very populous states like the british in the north they are seeing huge strikes in several districts in rural india headed into structures fragile and best and non-existent at worst to the number of gentle so going up there now part of the ruling to learn of course it's also spreading to other parts of india and southern india in states where we had elections recently with little big rallies that you mentioned in your report. what is the indian government doing to try to break this
12:05 pm
2nd wave when many autistic governments will just see these huge surgeons have imposed. curfews they have restrictions on movement there's also talk about a national knocked on this special the government the government was resisting and says look the states should meet their own decisions a little of course is that solution that's still going to have everyone overeating is lucky get vaccinated so pieces with a enough supplies vaccination is also going ahead the government is also trying to open an oxygen supply is that still remains a huge problem in many parts of the country and then you mention for a need that is really in use and is very slow when it is reaches the people who need it what what about that international aid and we know that there isn't a summit today will be focusing on india today can we expect more from that our people on the ground actually reaching back international aid. well national is
12:06 pm
going to many places initially they were bureaucratic hurdles and you mentioned this you and india's summit which is going to start in a few hours this underscores that the shadow of the girl and that 2nd wave in india india asked the e.u. for help and it got that help to the tune of some 100000000 euros but up until now and you know all the time isn't portugal and india georgia mark the summit ahead of the meeting today and it describes as a profound moment of geopolitically significance to be talking about the government and in it but also much more trade and investment in the group and discuss a free trade agreement so these laws are stuck that they need to talk much and enormous because once the summit gets underway in a few hours. thank you for that i'm dave davies delhi bureau chief amritsar chamber . let's turn on some other stories making headlines around the world in

a bid by jewish settlers to evict palestinians from their homes in east jerusalem. the court case was the focus of friday's sermon at al aksa mosque and many worshippers stayed on to protest they were backed by international calls for calm and restraint the united nations warned israel would be violating international law if it approved the evictions we wish to emphasize that east jerusalem remains part of the occupied palestinian territory in which international humanitarian law applies the occupying power. must respect and cannot confiscate private property in occupied territory. israel supreme court is expected to rule on the evictions on monday both sides are bracing for more violence because on that same day israel will be marking jerusalem day an annual celebration of it's an extension of east jerusalem in 1967. they don't raise 10 or 10 a crime as in jerusalem an earlier explained what spot this latest on rest this is

the hosts within touching distance of europa league football and leaves out in real danger of dropping into the relegation zone. the too big too big cops could be clinched this weekend in germany by munich are on the brink of winning a record extending night straight bundesliga title when they host brucia merchant but back the sea evening meanwhile in english football matches to city could seal the premier league title if they beat chelsea at home today city a 13 points ahead of 2nd place manchester united but is also being seen as a dress rehearsal before the club's name in the champions league final later this month but city coach quite a gallows heads the european competition is the last thing on his mind right now. believe me when i said there is not one thought about the find of the chamber is it because we are not or we don't have the primal economic heads so one we have the
12:15 pm
primal lick another of course the focus will be the final the champs the. you're watching the news from the end coming up outtake shows shift looks at a robotic stick that teaches paraplegics to walk again as after a short break we'll have more headlines for you at the top of the hour in the meantime you can always get the latest on our web site at www dot com where on social media as well as dana i'm rebecca invented thanks for joining us. to go. as we take on the. story that matter to. release.
12:16 pm
you fire makes. many points. in the climate change a different story this is my plan to bring home just one week. we're going to really get it. we still have time to an ongoing. process. getting stronger and smarter through technology this side if i dream is quickly becoming reality researchers and developers are driving forth the digital optimization of humans with mind blowing results will be all soon become cyborgs today's topic on. the side in that they've all been ism or cyber for sure has played
12:17 pm
a major role in pop culture for example in the movie robocop a police officer with potentially fatal. injuries become the super cop with his high tech implants tony stark from the marvel universe can fly in his honor and superman's fully excited both updates his hardware to gain new powers and skills these days even real life humans and their bodies with the physical components they called themselves cyborgs or bio hackers harvesting from britain is one of them he's colorblind and has no intention that converts carlos' into sounds and unlike the human eye his intent i can even detect infrared and ultraviolet he has a chip implanted in his head to make this work pretty intense but actually there are lots of scientism companies working on brain computer interfaces they allow direct communication between brain and computer so you can control devise with your mind but it's not just a gimmick it can fundamentally improve the lives of people with spinal injuries on
12:18 pm
your logical disorders us tech titan mosque is developing a brain computer interface at a startup neurally the team implanted chips in both brain hemispheres of a macaque pager they then taught him to play a game with a joystick and to snuff signals were transmitted to a computer by a bluetooth pager was fed bananas movie through a tube as a reward when the researchers the activated the joystick pager controlled the game with this pause alone the computer had learned to interpret the brain activity but there are devices that humans can control the mind even with the brain chip like by only prosthesis that replace missing body parts british game of daniel melville even uses one when he plays video games prostheses can also give people a brand new powers how would you like a. this prosthetic makes it possible to do things that usually require 2 hands. the prestige this is connected to a wrist band with
12:19 pm
a motor which drives the thumb to receive signals via bluetooth. pressure sensors attached to the shoe the user can control the prosthesis by moving their big toe. to ceiling born scientists danny clo developed the 3rd in london she wants to show that prosthetics don't always have to replace what's missing they can also provide an add on and upgrade. what's fascinating is after just 5 days of training with the 3rd he was signed had formed in the test subjects brains and the way they use their normal fingers had changed other developments like this that blur the line between human and machine sometimes on the skin sometimes. it might look like a temporary tattoo but this is actually
12:20 pm
a communication interface made from gold leaf. skin was invented by the massachusetts institute of technology one version works like a touch pad while another uses near field communication or n.f.c. technology to communicate with other interfaces. in the future when you walk into a tattoo parlor you would come out with a tattoo like this they will not only be very sophisticated technically but they will become an extension of yourself. often forget your acute eric frisk can open his door in sweden with a microchip implanted under his skin if the size of a grain of rice and works like a room card in a hotel it's estimated that 50000 people around the world already where one of these implants they can't even be ordered and the interesting thing is when the chips start getting smarter and start having you know sensors and things like that
12:21 pm
so instead of just opening a door maybe i can have continuously record my my body. temperature my blood sugar levels similar etc etc. and actually give me the useful information about my body. but technology that literally gets under your skin isn't for everyone implants are just one way to become a cyborg now also exudes called exoskeletons they promise more strength and better . heavy lifting uncomfortable work exoskeletons could someday help people reduce the strain on their backs were originally developed for medical and military use they're now increasingly deployed in the automotive industry and logistics many see it as win when employees stay healthier and companies profit from the increased efficiency in production. robotic
12:22 pm
technology that makes work more arrogant under intensive development predominantly in the u.s. and germany but also in china and japan. we want to create devices that help people in their workplace and to make these tools more accessible and easy to use i don't think humans will ever become dispensable. there are only a few companies that are designing completely automated systems because they require considerate and that's meant so i think we'll always have human workers. exoskeleton created by a japanese company i told has been in use for years in production the care sector and in japan's biggest airports. the former half kilogram suit is like a rucksack it has a sensor that detects the wearers movements so when lifting 2 motors in the suit
12:23 pm
automatically support the user's movement. the motors deactivate when. the user is walking. countries like japan are increasingly relying on robotics because of an aging population workforces are becoming depleted. right now we mainly make support devices but in the future we want to create products that enhance people's abilities and add physical functions like a 3rd arm we want to cater to a society in which people of all ages can work without physical limits. and it could get much more spectacular than that that envelop us that have been working for more than 10 years on this mega exercise called neil i was even allowed to try it out during my visit to japan i felt like lieutenant ripley on the side fi classic aliens with supernatural powers the developers claim that one alone can lift up to 50 kilograms its hold that neil will soon at the construction industry
12:24 pm
or in disaster management. have a growing role in the medical sector as well what's special about this model from the pound is that it's controlled by nerve impulses how is its name stands for hybrid assisted living as an ultimate goal even paraplegics could train with how and learn to walk again my colleague is under a ball went to test the exoskeleton at the company's cyberdyne in japan so these electrodes here will detect my brain signals and send it to this machine so that it will move for me so now i'm going to try to flatten and move my arm. detects pretty well and now i'm going to try to lock my arm in place. and it will still move for me.
12:25 pm
but i do wonder. does this kind is this does this go out of control sometimes know also. electrodes translate because brain signals into a command for the exoskeleton her brain sends the command moved to the muscles via the spine the signal is detected by a house built in sensors. the motor perceives the signal and pal starts moving. this is more difficult for patients with paraplegia because the nerve connections are disrupted but if there are any remaining impulses how could provide beneficial treatment time for a little test walk because sandra is allowed to wear the exoskeleton herself it's attached to a bracket since it's designed for people with impaired mobility it's
12:26 pm
a very intimate. setting that is actually really like starting training right now. i feel a little bit mechanic with my movement. but i think it's just getting used to the machine because now i feel a little more comfortable in it so now using creasing to speed. the monitor displays casandra and her nerve signals as a way for how it works together with other systems to analyze the signals and evaluate user data. so how do paralyzed people actually learn to walk again with the activation of muscle impulses creates a feedback effect that enables the brain to learn how to make the body walk again from scratch it's called neurofeedback training it only works for about 20 to 30
12:27 pm
percent of paraplegic patients but the results are still impressive. so with other actors scouts and. the movements are preprogrammed so patients wearing the suit will have to rely on it permanently however with hell it teaches you how to walk again basically making the connections from your brain to your broken sentences so basically these patients go through the these trainings and at the end of the training they're able to walk again without the technology without the suit hal was developed by japanese roboticist. he's the founder and c.e.o. all cyberdyne and a professor at the university of to cuba she believes these by only gays and book technologies are a step into a new age. i mean it's getting to think we're constantly wearing technology or strongly connected to it in that sense we're born cyborgs don't you think that they
12:28 pm
want all the unity as technology becomes more accessible we'll be able to use it without even being aware of it this phenomenon is the fusion of humans and technology and this symbiotic relationship will continue to develop we all becoming cyborgs or we already. if the technology becomes available soon won't people get left behind who don't want to be enhanced or who can't afford it. you abuse on cyborg technology is this the chance for us all to upgrade or i was skeptical let us know for example on you tube there will also find more videos about you know mosques new reading project and the paralyzed man who controls an exoskeleton with his mind take care.
