if you get an oxygen cylinder from my father the government says there's no oxygen shortage but look at the number of people waiting here in 2 hours you will see that at least 2 or 3 people believe in tears. sites incriminatory m c are overwhelmed many are now forced to bring the bodies to makeshift cremation sites instead. for now india continues to count its losses to the pandemic and more fire and smoke. e.u. leaders meeting in portugal will focus on relations with india on day 2 of the a summit yes set to discuss the situation there what prime minister. a bloc members are skeptical over a u.s. proposal strongly supported by india to waive athens rights of over 19 vaccines while some countries favor the plan law jakim states are firmly closed session instead for going to production council president shall show says the u.s.
3:04 pm
must make the festivals. we don't think. it's the magic bullet for but we already threw in do this too soon as a concrete proposal would be put on the table we all agree that we need to do everything which is possible you know the 3 increase over we were in the world production of rights and. let's look at both the european and indian perspective on this debate we have did of your correspondent bob a vessel at the e.u. summit in porto portugal d.w. delhi bureau chief and with a with asked. why was the e.u. go along with this u.s. plan on patent rights. because they felt feel that they have been really put on the back foot here and there when warned about this initiative by joe biden and the u.s. themselves they have not exported a single dose for countries in the 3rd world or developing countries so there is quite some anger underneath the diplomatic formula that you hear here in porto the
3:05 pm
argument is certainly go up and the patents to negotiate that would take probably until the fall or maybe even into the winter it would not help anybody at all in the short run you don't produce is single extra dose affects you in time to get to the people who need it so the e use our answer is we are ready to do everything we are ready to help we are ready to sort of transfer knowledge and high tech materials in order to get production going in those countries but we are not really ready to throw out the patents which might then be just snatched up by china and that is the main point and which we got to india for instance there is something like emergency license i think to grant one to india for instance as something that is a ready it's in existence before any kind of action in india so
3:06 pm
there is a great willingness to help it but there is not a willingness to be pushed into a measure that then afterwards the european countries couldn't possibly take back ok now i'm retired prime minister government has been arguing for patent waiver how important is this to help in india i get there and i make under control. it is extremely important to get this patent window but not just to control the pandemic because any such waiver would take some time to implement even if it were to get the approval but you have to remember that india along with south africa well the 2 countries are behind this proposal for a patent waiver and they put that forward in the wu last year discussions are still going on and the u.s. president joe biden support for it is a big moral victory for the 2 countries in matter of principle because india is one of the fittest producers of generic drugs she affordable drugs which are accessibility to poor rich countries story example aids and hiv when that crisis
3:07 pm
was there so india is a stronger better than this summit that we are seeing the e.u. india summit which is going on in porto portugal is about much more the prime ministers of the 2 countries put out an op ed a day before the summit and they described this as a defining moment in geopolitical political relations between the 2 sides there is momentum in developing this relationship you talked about just dialogue being there to recalibrate all rebalance the eaves relationship with the major pacific and underlying all of this is another reason whether to side account again and that can be summed up in one word china more times a lot of demand and china's increasing military assertiveness and they're also trade issues they're investment issues and they have a lot to talk about and even though they disagree on issues like patton's prepared to deepen their relationship and will further ok i thought she might in delhi india

3:20 pm
places like these are the new beacon of hope for the french the star disaster just north of paris is one of more than 100 new huge vaccinations and just across the country all of us can live 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 them neatly organized plays 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 has been very

bookings are surging. sweden has taken a unique approach to the corona virus pandemic that governments 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 suite. have been skiing shopping dining in drinking restrictions in swedish restaurants mean 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 with bank gun jimmy head waiter
