because clearly explore germany. and everything else. going on in. germany tried and tested. this is the w.'s asia coming up today pandemic that continues to pummel india. with daily cares numbers continuing to cross the 300000 mark calls are growing for a national lock down to reduce infections but some states are already imposing their own measures we have a roundup of the situation in the country. i'm stretching it out to get to the top i look at the practice persistence and pressure that accompanies dream was to make the big time.

welcome to. glad you could join us the world health organization has classified the coronavirus mutation in india as a variant of concern that has also said that there is some information to suggest that it is easily transmissible that is partly evident in the record numbers of cases the country continues to register nearly 330000 reported on tuesday alone these numbers have prompted experts to call for a nationwide lockdown the federal government has so far not relented but several state governments have imposed their own restrictions. i know that kind of 19 victim brought to an already overcrowded crime editorial in the city of bangalore a sobering case rates have now spread this city to empower these are locked down.

police in some areas of beating those violating the strict rules and seizing their vehicles. are the very ready or deliberate who will bring the system and break the rule then the ball settled. for now bengaluru is markets and stores are closed 2. there aren't many people here but they don't maintain social distancing after providing some relief to the poor there's nothing wrong with a lockdown. vaccinations are happening slowly in a country desperate to bring infections under control. people are facing so many problems they're sitting on a powder keg they can easily get infected unless an alternative is found distributing the vaccines in more places like community halls or playgrounds.

there's no country wide policy in place critics say the government is out to katie responsibility by leaving fascinations to individual states that's resulted in a scramble important job province people crowding a vaccination center put themselves and others at risk the police we would like we had to call the police to maintain social distancing but to no avail people are not listening to us at all medical workers have mounted protests against the government's handling of the colona virus and the indian medical association has called on the government to impose a lockdown across the country. for weeks now states have been competing for scarce resources including oxygen. they've been left to the messy of the market leading to more anger and frustration with the government in delhi.

and in other developments related to the corner of august crisis in india 11 covert operations at a government hospital in the south of the country died on monday due to a shortage of oxygen dozens of bodies suspected to be of corporations have washed up on the banks of the river ganges in the states have been hard to produce in northern india rising costs of commissions are forcing some families to dispose of bodies of loved ones directly into rivers and the indian government has asked doctors to look out for signs of my courses infection in covert patients commonly called as black fungus it can lead to chest pain breathing difficulties and blurred vision. increase vaccinations are seen by experts as a way out of the current crisis but to these faltering correspondent nima should just walk in delhi yes taxi go along with right now which is just 40 times when you're. you know and especially. if yes actually.

it's not just mine by making everybody you want you to be eating a little bit but in us high i want to do is have to eat. and now at this moment it's. one of the meetings of this congress that you do is it is not outspent you are constituted time to get a man and the just on do not is the not in fact should in addition even if it is one of the unit that is why spend had students you didn't eat you are going to remove so chilling to do is getting vaccinated i get to see who is getting that. even dying so this must have been strong also not trying to get the vaccine and it was an option i lost. as innocent of fighting in libya. my college did a corresponding marriage address while they're in delhi and you can of course get regular updates on the coronavirus situation in india on our website dot com.

the sound of blitzer as the latest people band baffling to become the next b.t.s. their debut album is out on wednesday the product of years of auditions and rehearsals to find the magical mix. and the rewards are huge as demonstrated by the international success of boy band. careers cultural exports the so-called korean view has become a multi-billion dollar industry but for young koreans shooting for global stardom the journey is a grueling 1. 3 years of intense training distilled into just 3 minutes of music and dancing this will determine whether the blitz is there a hit or just another nowhere to. go there she toyed around 8 pm we would start our dance practice and there's no time limit on it we would practice

into the early hours of the morning. these boys give it their all it's an endless cycle of singing lessons promotional shoots gym workouts and dance practice their weight is monitored and their sleep in bunk beds in a shared a soul house is limited to around 5 hours a night the empty beds a reminder of those who didn't survive the rigorous testing process. no matter how much time i spend with the other trainees i always found it hard to see them dismissed even though i hadn't done anything wrong i felt a sense of guilt every time i had to say goodbye to my on the tour. with them until . no time for hard feelings though because a lot of money is riding on their debut album the blitzes will put together by

a young soul management agency and it is betting its existence on their success the potential returns a huge but the odds are stacked against them and the k. pop industry is a tough one it's been described as a factory like mass production system but the blitzes believe they've got what it takes to be the next b.t.s. . or in my opinion i think we're good enough to perform they were always ready you know but the more you know very very there were already you have to be ready. this week's album launch will prove if they really are. tomorrow harmon is a k. pop columnist to document of the astonishing global rise of the music genre which is also the author of bitter years of blood sweat and tears which explores the origins of cape bob's biggest and best known band tomorrow welcome thank you for joining us on the news now the blitz launch 3rd debut album on wednesday what

are their chances of success. but you can never really tell the start of a k. pop groups career where they'll go or how far they'll go but nowadays there's a lot of eyes on k. pop so i imagine a lot of people are really interested in every case that's coming out nowadays in general the industry is very oversaturated and very full of all these talented star is working with various companies so it really depends on how they are able to make themselves stand apart and their company is able to market them and get them integrated into the industry with you know good music and good performances and build up their international and local fan bases so we'll see what happens at them but i think because we're talking about them that's a pretty good sign. you something the market close over the consulate is not helpful to continents to making it as competitive as it is. just generally cape

up is coming from seoul and the entertainment industry in south korea is relatively small in comparison to some other countries industries just because south korea is a relatively smaller country than countries like the u.s. or india where having huge giant industries with a lot of different talents competing every day every year to get into you know every t.v. show and music video and song and everything so the global scene for k. pop is much bigger than the local scene itself so you have all these artists hoping to get the airtime and to get the audience this year but just like in the music world everywhere because of streaming because of social media because of radio there's only so much time that you can spend on actually getting an artist popular before you have to you know it's. a business still be on a good day so there's thousands of trainees that study every single year essentially training to become escape idols and because it's something that takes years of their life before you can start your career then once the career you know

you release your 1st song you release your 1st album every single album every single release every time you do something that's another step towards us but it can also be a step away from you know the start of your career and maybe towards the potential of your demise so there's a lot of competition thousands of hopefuls every single year debut hard and $100.00 and like $10000.00 didn't even make the cut at this point so it's very competitive industry there's a lot of older industries for training tutoring or become try out we're able to try out make it into a chill it make a proper site think the statistic is that don't quote me on this as a fact but i believe it's like one in every 1000 people who debut as a kid pop star actually are able to make it a lifelong career it is not uncommon to have told to just talk to us a bit about the pressure of of these performers are facing i mean what do you need

to do to be able to start out and what is the practice that is involved to get to their. people who want to be stars whether they can saying they can dance they can rap they can act whatever it's a they can i just can for companies and these companies you know they see talent that they think is worth investing in and they bring on several you know young talents every year and it's an investment and then they usually the norm nowadays is competitions every single month so every single month you have to present something to the executives to kind of prove that you have what it takes to make it into a k. pop group in every month there are cuts this involves 'd you know performance aspects this involves 'd physical training for your body you will well tell you all you need to dye your hair you maybe you need to get plastic surgery maybe you need to diet diets severe diets are serious issue across the industry so nowadays we still a lot more tolerance coming from social media like to talk or people going viral across social media really changing careers and these sort of things are more and

more popular but at the same time because more and more people are going bigger and better than ever before you also having more and more people entering the market and so it's becoming even more saturated. that's a fascinating explanation of what goes on behind the scenes thanks so much for joining us. that's a very we'll see you tomorrow by. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update coming. on t w. ready to get on to more extreme. places in europe or smashing all the records stick into ensure.

just don't lose your grip it's the treasure map globe trotters discover some of europe's record breaking ranks. to also in book form. alaska is sparsely populated and known for its harsh terrain with some places only accessible by plane boat or snowmobile yet it's being hailed as a vaccine success story. every 3rd alaskan is fully vaccinated nearly half of the population has received one shot. the key good planning and working with indigenous leaders. alaska became the 1st u.s. state to offer covert 900 vaccines to all adults in march tourists will be able to

receive shots at the airports from june. welcome. kids from the age of 12 canal get their shots in alaska and right across the u.s. but it's alaska in particular one of the remotest places on earth which is showing the rest of the world. how to fight off a pandemic. final preparations for a flight near the arctic circle in alaska kimberly undone has with her 50 shots of the modena vaccine she hopes they'll bring an end to the pandemic which is hit. hard. one person gets it here that's you know that's 5 percent of the population almost so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole village to shut down that means nobody hauling water nobody hauling fuel nobody you know you're not leaving your house to go get stuff that you've made ok it's going to take this don't do it doesn't buy its remoteness

a lot has rolled out called in 1000 vaccines faster than any other state in the u.s. today the team of health care professionals will be visiting several indigenous communities in the arctic wilderness. the village of in a tie has no mobile phone coverage no supermarket and no permanent doctor all goods have to be flown in. today's air freight is the call of in 1000 vaccine. the village of around $200.00 inhabitants has only 2 cars one of them is the ambulance. snowmobiles are the most important means of transport here a quick ride takes the team to the local health care center. inside around 20 villagers a waiting for the shot. did you. like most of the villagers lawrence roberts belongs to the question tribe for many years has relied on his

strong constitution but in times of a pandemic he wants to play it safe for us this is pretty important i mean. if you're from the border illegally. you would have to get sick or you know if it will prevent possible zation just get. on his squad lawrence takes us to his home at the edge of a forest. for a year he wasn't allowed to leave the village. the tribal government imposed strict rules to protect the community from the virus. lauren says it's the modern way of life that makes people so vulnerable to cope at one time or group we don't have conquer over to this place so they're traveling with all purpose and that they're there and. move or something that's where we settle down for

a month. you know. this because. it was much healthier lifestyle you know for that i knew that our experience never gets 2nd year on with you know it's taken off. take to the next village it may be one of the world's remote places but when it comes to the program alaska is leading the way. planet is executive director of the association of immunization managers and joins us from the u.s. what's behind alaska's success considering the huge geographical hindrances it's had to overcome. well the last guy has a lot of experience getting back out to their remote areas one thing they have done with cold it 19 that senior stage have really john their communities together and you know informed and educated about the facts they have gotten the vaccine out to

their remote villages they've actually gone to or to do or in some of these villages getting people vaccinated and they've just done a really cool warton a good job getting the vaccine to everyone that wants to get it how did the u.s. manage to go from $3000000.00 vaccinations administered in the whole month of december 2020 to over $3000000.00 per day just back in april. right well i mean a couple of important things the one is the production and the supply and you know this is not the sort of seduction the supply and production were kind of up and down in december we didn't have a real steady out come of you know doxie doses coming off the the manufacturing plant we have that now supply increased and really we're getting $2030000000.00 doses of the vaccine out per week to the states so that's made a huge difference and in addition to that the states have done

a large scale vaccination sites as well as getting it to smaller sites community health centers and retail pharmacies so really getting more supply more steady supply and getting the vaccine out some more availability sites that's been the key at the same time though since the middle of april the number of daily vaccinations that's been going down to more or less 3000000 per day why is that. so we have kind of picked up point where a lot of people who want to be vaccinated have 10 backs and aided you know 50 percent of people have gotten at least one dose just about and so you know we're really getting to the point now where we need to work harder to get people to assure people to get information to people we're still there actually eating about 2000000 people per day so that's really good we have about 10 states that have vaccinated over 50 percent of their population but about 10 states for only about

35 percent of been vaccinated and that's really the difference by region of you know people with regard to their skepticism or you know they're cautious about getting the vaccine so what is let me give it as a vehicle is possible what working hard i mean because you mentioned in alaska going door to door which of course is risky in itself i thought about other states giving out free cannabis free beer. there they were giving out free beer in new jersey you know alaska's sleeves up 1st some are having block parties for vaccination getting ready for tourist season giving vaccine at the airport. you know i think states are just doing anything they can we see businesses giving incentives mostly to their employees krispy kreme is giving free donuts to people who get vaccinated you know really just trying to get everyone involved

everyone to feel good about getting the vaccine about getting us back to a place where you know we can have fun and be safe and protected from the disease what would you say this is something the rest of the world could could learn from. i mean i do think the rest of the world can learn from from what we've learned here in the united states 1st of all the large vaccine sites getting the vaccine out as as quickly as possible was really successful for us and the more people were seeing other people getting vaccinated the more they felt safe getting vaccinated themselves and also information information is really the key the population right now that says their has a tent or doesn't want to get vaccinated we see that many of them have not received any facts any information about the vaccine or have only seen negative information about the back seat so getting information out you know getting all the information

you can about how the vaccine works its value it c d its effectiveness doing that ahead of time makes a difference and then high volume logistically quite out of there from the association of immunization managers thank you so much thanks thanks very much for having me. let me put you in the capable hands of my colleagues eric williams now to look at your questions on the corona virus. i've been vaccinated and feel some side effects and i contagious to others. pretty much all of the vaccines approved so far and various parts of the world are are fairly reacted generally which means they often cause mild side effects like painting and swelling at the injection site as well as things like like fatigue or headache or fever or chills or aching joints by by some estimates

about 2 thirds of all recipients report those sorts of effects soon after having a shot they generally disappear within a day or 2 side effects appear to be more common in women than in men and also seem to happen more often in younger recipients then in the elderly but but side effects aren't caused by live virus replicating in your body because the vaccines in use don't actually contain any live virus instead they employ a number of different tricks to pull your immune system into believing you've caught the virus many vaccine platforms work by delivering genetic instructions into your cells that cause them to build sars kovi to proteins these harmless components teach your defenses to recognize the virus without really exposure to it

the available chinese vaccines accomplish the same goal by using chemically inactivated or or disabled virus to put the immune system on red alert but but because vaccines don't expose you to live virus they can't give you the disease her . you can be contagious assuming of course that you didn't catch covert 900 for real from someone in the days between vaccination and the ramp up of your immune response the sometimes unpleasant vaccine side effects experts say are actually a kind of confirmation that your immune system is reacting as it should. and we leave you with pictures from romania where dracula is taking a bite out of coverage 19 of his mythic brand castle medics have set up a vaccination center a transylvania his main attraction visitors can get

a free jab every weekend this month without an appointment also included of vaccinations a difficult and free entry to the consul's torture chamber. romania and many other places looking for creative ways to boost their vaccination rollouts be creative and stay say see you again sir.

this is you know news live from berlin deadly violence tensions boil over as fighting intensifies between israel and militant groups in gaza dozens are killed in exchange of heavy fire the conflict intensifies after weeks of under arrest also coming up several children and a teacher are killed in a rare school shooting in russia at least one teenage gunman is in custody also on the show claims of sex abuse to college or to love said it at a british university highlights what suit is called a culture plus many of china's paris. i reckon what i'm still better than 2 by the

birth rate is dropping years after the one child policy prescribes. i. unlock a very warm welcome to the show. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is valet to intensify airstrikes against hamas militants in the gaza strip and the latest deadly incidents rocket attacks have killed 2 people in southern israel spiraling violence has seen hamas fire missiles to word israel and the israeli military respond with air strikes israel says it killed 15 militants and strikes overnight health officials in gaza say 24 alice stimmung have been killed including children . oh. i thought of their kids as his son one last time the 11 year old boy was killed after israel launched retaliatory strikes on gaza.

officials there say 9 children died in the attack. but that was why did you kill him they kill and there is no one to make an answer for the whole world is watching it doesn't matter if it's a child or a woman there is no one to hold them accountable. hours before hamas militants fired a barrage of rockets from the palestinian enclave. the cross border attacks which began on monday mark a major escalation in violence. israel's prime minister warned that the fighting could continue for some time. but we are in a fight on several fronts jerusalem gaza and elsewhere in this country this evening on jerusalem day the terrorist organizations in gaza have crossed a red line and attacked us with missiles in the outskirts of jerusalem.

the catalyst for the violence was israel's plans to evict a number of palestinian families from east jerusalem to make room for jewish settlers. oh jerusalem's al aksa mosque compound a sacred site to both muslims and jews has also been at the center of tensions in recent weeks. the international community has repeated its calls for deescalation. a landmark treaty on violence against women and domestic abuse came into force 10 years ago the istanbul convention says nations must prevent violence against women and promote equality with men while the united nations says as many as one in 3 women worldwide have experienced domestic or sexual violence meanwhile university

students in britain have been protesting against sexual harassment and violence on campus he didn't use a break at mosques has more fear of sexual violence runs rampant at this university that's what emily f.s.d.o. english student says she says she knows women who have been attacked and raped on the grounds of the university of warrick i haven't met a girl who hasn't encountered something on campus where the cat cooling or something so much more serious there's such a huge scale it's everywhere and. for months women have been protesting at the university against what they call rape culture emilie's one of the main organizers she herself has been sexually assaulted she describes what happened at her kitchen jury duty i had a close friend of mine who i completely thought i could trust he ended up in great

pain me and my kitchen and off the bat he sent his friends a series of voice nights about me that they then played to me about like kind of how he was looking at my body and how he was so excited to come back to university so he could have his way with me. the students are also fighting against other comparatively small offenses and they have concrete demands for university management a small group of women has been occupying the campus for 2 months. they say may have to trade just cross the line too often and get away with it and no one really helps the victims the university of warwick says in a statement that they are committed to eliminating all forms of sexual violence and they're encouraging students to come forward and to report any sexual misconduct for many students however this is not good enough so the support is at the moment a very very subpar they're not doing what they should do the under-funded under-staffed so we want to be we want to make sure the survivors have enough

support after their incidents. they may have to live in a tent and study for exams as the rain falls but female students here won't give up until their demands are met they also have to change my attitudes about how women should be treated it falls on the men to make sure that there's a responsibility to make sure that you can make the women feel safe on campus by doing basic things and picking up on basic cues emily eisenberg is happy to see that things are beginning to change people i think be ostracized talking of us here because for the 1st time like boys are watching tugging on their friends and like recognising the issue and disagreeing with what's going on she and her friends hope that protest will be heard throughout the u.k. they're convinced that the fear that motivates them is felt by women everywhere not just at their university. i would like to take you back now to our top story the deadly violence that is unfolding at between israel and militant groups in gaza i

can talk now about this we did have the middle east reporter shani resign ishani what more can you tell us about what's happening right now on the ground. where we're heading to escalation it's gloves off all the way on it and you know i just gave a statement recently saying gaza citizens should prepare for much harder marmots coming from the i.d.f. from the israeli army we see also on the israeli side that taking the precautions calling all citizens in the area close to the gaza border to stay in their shelters for the next hour as we have had. a day back hit in a house and now and go that brought the death of 2 women and for israel and you know once there are casualties there is no way out you have to the way they see it you have to go on and go strong in this when we should be expecting going to be a very violent and bloody full night in the. in the east and at least in the south

and the border of israel and maybe will hit much further into the central air years of israel israeli army is becoming for all options now health officials in gaza say meanwhile $24.00 palestinians have been killed including children i mean you know what will bring this cycle of violence to an end this latest episode at least. if we do i think any lessons from past experience has to come as pressure from the international community american and european voices that will call for that we also seek a new one in turkey he's trying to pull pressure put pressure on the arab countries like qatar we see the emirates places that have been warming up to israel and also had. a peace agreement with israel in the last year trying to put the pressure on them this is on you you need to work you need to act on it we've seen in the past that israel usually gets 3 to 4 days of free hand but he will see many more

casualties in gaza it's clear that the pressure will get will get higher and sooner and very fast it's basically the 1st public clash for an end you know when the biden is myspace and it's been it's been very cold this the relationship there's nothing that's been breaking the routine so far and we'll have to see if this is the time with a bite and musician strays from the line that we've seen a previous administrations taking when it coming to issues of israel and the palestinians. right well for now they're choosing to remain on the sidelines i mean as you outlined there this is this is very cyclical i'm just wondering could this have been prevented was this necessary well this is the question the eppy you know the the epicenter of this conflict how necessary is that it i think many will tell you that this time. it was a slippery slope that was definitely preventable it happened very quickly very fast in extremely sensitive time we're talking about the last days of ramadan we have if

you don't coming. is really this itself isn't it isn't a deep political crisis it's unclear if the government that is governing israel right now even have the mandate to run this military operation that seems to be extending and escalating. hopefully all of these conditions will help to deescalate soon enough and encourage pressure from outside and inside to keep this in wraps week enough that it's still in early phases both sides seem to be there in minutes and in their in their announcements i'm afraid it's going to have to get much worse before it's going to get better. summers honest reporting thank you. and now to our other top story at least 7 children and 2 adults have been killed and many more injured in a shooting at a school in russia authorities say a lone gunman opened fire in the city of cazan the capital of the muslim majority

region of tatarstan a suspect is under arrest he was posting on social media just shortly before the attack the motive is not yet known harrowing scenes there are less bringing a d.w.i. correspondingly sure and she is tracking the story for you from moscow and what more have you learned. well we know that the shooter entered the school building on the outskirts of cazan this morning and opened fire at least 9 people were killed and many others were injured the attacker himself is a 19 year old male he apparently gave himself up to police soon after the shooting now we know that the area around the school has been cordoned off by officers of the national guard and there is additional security in place at schools across the

city as well and schools will also be closed tomorrow and officials in the republic of tatarstan where cousin is located have also said that tomorrow will be a day an official day of mourning in the republic and also i think it's him it's interesting to note that this shooting really has seemingly shocked people across the whole country including in moscow it's going to be investigated on a federal level and there are people from the members of the investigative committee going to cousin to day to carry out that investigation going forward and of course striking the gunman we understand was a teenager is a teenager i should say do we know is there any indication about what motivated him to go on this shooting rampage. well we don't know of course 100 percent because this is an ongoing investigation we haven't heard an official statement about the motives of this 19 year old man we do know that he had

an official gun license so a registered weapon and we also know that according to media reports here in russia at least he apparently used to be a student a pupil himself at the school that he attacked he graduated from there 4 years ago and he was actually studying in a vocational program program at a different school until april when he was expelled so perhaps there could be some sort of a personal motive there we've also heard from russian media that he has been posting on social media head of this attack that he said that he sees himself as a sort of god and he also this morning wrote on social media that he plans to carry out this killing put this into context for emily because we don't often hear about school shootings taking place in russia i mean how commonplace is it.

this is very rare in russia and i think that's why it send such shock waves across the country there basically are never shootings with firearms there has been there have been 2 cases of that happening i should say one of them was actually in crimea so officially in ukraine according to international law but in russian in the russian euro's diction at least they consider it to be russia that happened twice once in 2018 in crimea and once in 2014 but usually school attacks like this one are not carried out with firearms with guns at all because it's very hard to get guns in russia there have been school attacks in the past. you know around a dozen with knives or other weapons but the gun laws are strict and actually in response to this shooting today we also heard from president vladimir putin who asked the government to look into making those gun laws even stricter to

potentially prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future and we sure are reporting from moscow thank you. demonstrators who have recently been gathering in smaller groups after brutal crackdowns by the military junta which seized power in february. a road and rail bridge spanning the zambezi river between botswana and some bia has been officially opened in multi-million dollar project aims to ease congestion at the border crossings throughout southern africa . medical staff say they're exhausted by the battle against covert 1000 have launched a nationwide strike in france they're demanding better pay better conditions the sea trade union says depends.
