safety measures remain in place. authorities have mandated using double face masks to enter stores and shopping centers. face shells are widely used and hand washing facilities had been installed in the streets, but it has not been enough there all the highest per capita death rate in the world . the government's response to the crisis has been widely criticized. is the one that gave those this arrived too late for the management of the pandemic is a complete disgrace, especially for the previous president, the one now at least the fight over the last 2 peaks of infection seen peru have coincided with deep political crisis. that in both cases, lead to massive demonstrations. the 1st one was in november when political instability led to 3 precedents in one week. the 2nd wave of progress is

happening right now. the reason a controversial presidential election, one of the candidates cried fraud. why the other claims there is a plan to tell his victory, supporters from both sides have taken to the streets, according to some experts, these demonstrations could cause a 4th arise in the infection car. but at this point, the concert cannot afford new locked down. the great this effort mass to be done to vaccinate the population and to start negotiating from now on new generation vaccines for the new bargain that may appear. this is the most effective measure, and the week had been slowing, doing so on average, through administers about 350000 vaccines every week. a low figure for a country of more than $33000000.00 authorities have promised that the process will accelerate the government forecast. estimates that the eligible population will be

immunized by the end of 2021. the spring and dw corresponding young ramirez who we just saw in that report to join us from the columbia capital overtime. you get to see your report. pain's a very grim picture. how is peruse health system holding up among all this the health system of, or is going through a very difficult time because in addition to the very we're in figure stuff new infections and the arrival of the new variance to the country was going through a very important political crisis that have, have, have made many people thousands of people to day the streets, to protest. and this is a very 5 or a foreign context for a new wave off infections. and that is the most worried in all of this in gone to that before, even before the pandemic, the health system offer was going through

a difficult time because of the lack of investment from the state. so in health system, the before the fund damage was in a very perfect condition. and now in all of this context is a very difficult time for me to a lot of people will blame for ruth political instability for the dire situation in the country. so besides promising to speed up the vaccination drive, what does the current government doing to keep numbers and be the current government government doesn't have many options because a new plan and the government cannot declare a new law lack down because the country could not afford that economically, rules going through a huge crisis and then people are tired of being confined and then so all hopes are placed in the vaccination last week or received 2000000. those is the native by united states. it would allow the country to accelerate its vaccination

process, but at the same time this week and pro rated for plans of oxygen donated by france . so it means that the same time the counselor is preparing for a potential new way of infections. a new wave of infection that might be fueled by the new lambda very, and not much is known about it yet, but it seems to be sweeping south america. how worried are people about that? where you are people on the community, the scientific community in latin america are very worried about this new variant because it could be devastating for the health system of the region. people are very concerned and that's why some government have a rating 1st thing by a security measures. for example, argentina closed again. once again, they're there, it's borders to even to their national. i mean, even argentina of abroad, that cannot go back to argentina right now because the borders of the country are

closed in peru as we saw. the phase marks marks are mandatory in some endorse places, so it's very warm, but at the same time, latin america doesn't, i mean the people depend on informal economies, so they can not stay indoors. they cannot get gone fine for a long time because they need to get out to work because if they don't go out to work they, they don't have money to pay their bills on even to eat. so that's why there are now many is the vengeance or grants from the state. and that's why people need to keep getting out of this rates on to work. so even though it is worrying figures, and even even though these weren't new variance, people need to work and people need to, to get in touch with the with, with each other. p w. c ramirez. thank you very much. from latin america to the current of ours crisis, in se asia, indonesia has recorded a new record number of deaths in

a single day. the spike is being blamed on the advancing delta barrier to over a stretch. hospitals are facing oxygen shortages and the government is appealing to neighboring countries for help. now the camped outside and overcrowded hospital cove in 1900 patients fighting for their lives. the highly contagious delta, very into swept through indonesia, overwhelming the health system and leaving families in a desperate hunt for oxygen, for stricken relatives. i used to refill it a kiosk near home, but there is no supply there. so i came here. the government is struggling to fill the gaps. anything something that the demand for oxygen has increased 3 to 4 fold and hampered distribution. ma'am, i don't think there is indeed a shortage. and we have asked the 5 biggest oxygen suppliers to dedicate 100

percent of their production to medical needs. because he got to find out my product is to stop the spread of the corona virus. the government has imposed a partial lockdown. it also wants to step out vaccination efforts, but with doses in short supply and only around 5 percent of the population fully vaccinated. another shortage is making itself felt to cope with the rising death toll farmland. across the country is hastily being converted into make shift graveyards for more, let's bring in clear months i. e. he's the secretary general of the indonesian red cross. mr said, welcome to the w case. numbers have more than quadrupled over the past one. why is covered 1900 heading indonesia, so hard and why now? thank you. i've been for so hope no one in the wood has experience that kind of

crisis. so i think the most important thing is everybody in the audience has worked very hard to improve the way that goes. and if you ask, what is the cause of the extremely increasing basis it is because then you will fight enough of us. and i think what i witness to the government, the authority has worked very hard to improve the way we handle this crisis. indonesia has one of the lowest testing rates in the world, though. do you think we might be grossly underestimating the real magnitude of this outbreak? i think it has meant that of the state and then know we as as, as we're trying to trying what he had to go, but

a bit in the community to support the testing process in every activity, the center of the society, we try to double up to up the complexity of testing and it is also done by the local government in all of it. in elisa we're seeing roughly 30000 daily cases right now. how big do you think this number could really be? we have been list, but i think we could pick the best but so far and the local authority, the central government also was looking handing him to the race. and then i think we expect him roofing of the management of

the crisis and then and the government start mobilizing the resources from the military, from the society around the corporation. and the good thing of what the mission safe is, we know ought to be mobilizing quarter bodies and communities to handle. also the fact that the basins do not think it's a bit late in the game. we've been facing the panoramic for over a year now. and could this the situation that your country is going through right now? not have been prevented if the government had taken action earlier. as i said earlier that the no one in the, in the woods has this i sped in. so i think what is important is the immortal thing from time to time. and i think the government is trying to do that. and we

appreciate for the talk to one of the matter. my father, the government and corporation, to walk him to that goes, it is clear once i and he's a secretary general, the indonesian red cross. thank you very much for your time. thank you. let's take a look now and some other stories making headlines around the world. search for how found the wreckage of a plan that went missing on russia as eastern come up. and then philip officials say that all 20 people were on board. the plane are now presumed that plane thought to have crashed as it was preparing to land inform his ability to elise and hong kong, saying they had uncovered a plot to bomb court tunnels and the railway network authorities seized explosives and arrest 9 people suspected of terrorist activities,

6 of them are high school students facing impose a controversial security former british colony. a year ago, police in south africa are waiting for a high court ruling to tell them whether or not to arrest former president, jacob's duma. mister duma is currently appealing in 15 months prison sentence for contempt and refusing to hand himself in so much in fits. there is no need for him to go to jail and claims. he's innocent. he's asked, hundreds of the supporters has been surrounding his home to protest peacefully in order to avoid a violent confrontation with police. 79 year old were sentenced in jail for disobeying a court order to appear before a commission investigating state corruption. during his 9 year tenure. andy w correspondent, christine moonlight, joins us now from outside. peter mars burke high court enclosed zulu natal where this hearing is underway. christine, how is the hearing going so far?

nicole when the hearing started a few hours ago, as soon as lawyers were basically tossed with making the argument as to why they've even brought this application to this court. because effectively what he's doing is he is asking a lower court to overrule the decision taken by the highest court in the country, the highest court being the court that gave him the guilty verdict of being contained in court and gave him that would be my christmas dentist, we are now hearing from lawyers opposing as them as application here, and they making the case as saying to this court that mr. wilma is a serial law breaker that by this court granting is application, they are in effect assisting him in doing that. and reminding the court that the constitutional court, all supreme court is the highest court in the land. and that court has taken the decision on the system and that decision should be respected and obeyed. otherwise, this country has the situation of legal chaos as, as one of the lawyers arguing against mr. assume it's application,

put it so certainly some of the mitigating factors, mrs. duma has presented is that he's an old man and that going to jail right now in the height of a panoramic. he's not fascinated, he's got pre existing health conditions would effectively be a death sentence, but the law is opposing this application. say the court that gave him that present sentence, new or new, his age knew that the conditions in prison, and therefore that court's decision should be respected. nicole, the constitutional court actually said that they handed him that sentence because nobody is above the law, didn't they? what is the most likely outcome today? because having listened to legal experts, the number professor's law professors in this country, everybody's ought to view that. what this court should do and will most likely do is dismiss mrs. them as application on the basis that it does not have the jurisdiction to overrule a decision taken by the supreme court of the country, the constitutional court. so that is probably the outcome that will what will be the result of this. and it's essentially what

a lot of people are expecting will happen here today because the judge himself and the number of occasions reiterated chism is roy. and i still don't understand why you brought this case here. you're asking me to overrule a decision taken by the highest court in the land. what do you think will happen if the court, in fact rejects the obligation today? well, if that happens nicole, we do know one thing that the police minister of this country is also under order by the constitutional course to make sure that mrs. luna is in a correctional facility by midnight wednesday failing him having surrendered himself so mrs. and was given 5 days, he missed his 5 date the night. it is now left to the police minister to of course make sure that he is behind bars by midnight on wednesday. and the police minister spoke yesterday, and he indicated that he was going to wait for the outcome of this course before

acting on that order. but if the minutes that the police minister does not arrest mrs. duma, and make sure he's behind thoughts by midnight. on wednesday, he himself will be in contempt. of course, nicole, he will be defying an order by the constitutional course. christine were in peter mars for thank you very much for that update. and here are some other stories from around the world. 5 people involved in one of germany's biggest child, sex abuse rings have been jailed for up to 14 years, the gang drugged and raped children sometimes for days on and in the garden house. and the city of mister, dozens of other suspects are still on trial. european council, president shaw michelle has visited the border between bella, ruth and member lithuania, record numbers of migrants have arrived there in recent weeks. michelle says, bella ruth and allowing migraines across to put pressure on the u. brussels accuses men of using migrants for political purposes. are watching the w news coming up

next later in the program. we look ahead as a lease class with fame in the 1st of 02020, semi final which kicks off and a few hours to find out which of the 2 signs like exhausted stock. and 1st that can film festival is preparing to reopen. now that restrictions are being ease, but social distance thing. well, some do the normal glamour festival, which $24.00 films will compete for the top prize, the palm door american directors likely had the jury. he is the 1st black leader of the judges. the 1st film on the program will be a net, a musical by friends, director niels kara, and d w foam correspondence scott roxborough is in can for tonight. grand opening scott, how does it feel to be bad at the cause is there yeah,

it's amazing. i mean, i didn't realize how much i missed coming to calm i usually i'm here every year. last year, of course, the festal was cancelled because of coven. and i think this year is particularly special because all of us film lovers of we spent so many, much time indoors in lockdown with cinema close, unable to actually view movies the way they're supposed to be viewed on the big screen. and there's no bigger screen than the one here actually right behind me on the right carpet in can something tremendously excited to be able to go to the opening night ceremony tonight. the only disadvantage is it's incredibly hot here. so i'm going to have to squeeze myself into a sweltering tuxedo tonight, but you know, we all have our crosses to bear sacrifices if you're willing to take after. 6 your aid, is it still not quite a normal year? is it though? no, no, of course not. i mean the covered, 1900 pandemic is still going on. things have opened up

a lot here in france. but in order to get into this festival, you have to go through a lot of procedures and testing every day or every 2 days in order to get access to the screenings. the screenings will be full, but everyone will need to be masked while watching. so that's gonna make things a bit different. and then of course, because of travel restrictions, it's not. and if there's not nearly as many people here as they're usually are. so i might be a bit of a quiet a festival. but for those of us here, we're really looking forward to really celebrating cinema again and with cinema's trying to reopen across europe. can be seen as a, as a symbol of that as a, as a signal to more maybe the fil world. that things can get going again, and the festival is going to open with a rock opera. tell us more about a net. yeah, and that it stars adam driver and my uncle t. r. and it is a rock opera. it's actually based on a concept album, pro band called sparks, who are an art house band from l. a. who have been sort of underneath the radar for

30 or 40 years. they're both in their seventies now with the other 2 brothers, the bail brothers and they've never quite broken through into the mainstream. so it's exciting to see that tonight on this red carpet, they're going to have sort of 30 their can coming out. but i think it's a really interesting film to start the festival as well. not just because, but 2 big stars with that and driver bar and quote, the are. but it seems like a film that really celebrates the visual aspect of cinema and demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible. if i can think of all know better movie really kick off this campus. what other movies are you looking forward to yeah, it's interesting because last year of course we supposed have a festival that was cancelled. and a number of the really big films from that, from that that's the last year i've been held back and nobody's seen them. and so they're going to be released here this year, and 2 of them, i really am excited to see there's wes anderson's new film. so sort of quirky us movie called the french dispatch packed with stars. tilda swinton timothy shallow

may bill murray. elizabeth mos hopefully will all be here on the red carpet. really excited to see that and then can, is always great for having scandal, movies and hoping this year that's going to be been detail which is a new film from peralta hoover. and you might know as the director of a basic instinct, this film is a period movie about lesbian nuns in the medieval france. so obviously a lot to like there, i'm hoping it's gotta be just as shocking as everyone expects to be. the w got rock bro, back in can thank you. some sports now formula, one's australian ground free has been cancelled for the 2nd consecutive year last year's race and march with scratch the last minute the panoramic started to take hold this year's contest and melbourne was shifted from its usual season, opening spot late november. but the formula one and we'll now have to wait until next year as well motorbike fans because october motor g p has also been canceled

with just 14 left and the european football championship. the 1st of the semi finals kicks off and just a few hours time, spain take on italy for a place and the final, both sides gone through close games in the last round. but a revitalized italy look like having the upper hand, the, the as hudy's ride home off to their quarter final whenever belgium was reminiscent of the good old days of italian football. historically, italy is expected to challenge for every euros title. the victory of belgium helped ease the fans pain of 2018 when italy didn't even qualify for the world cup. there was reason to celebrate in the streets of rome. once again, whatever. i want to thank our coach about the mancini,

because it's all thanks to him. i expected italy to be strong, but they're better than i expected. the fans will not be able to travel to london to support the team, but there are nearly twice as many italians living in the u. k. a spaniards still, mancini sees the fixture as being even and he thought it was by edison, italy, in spain or in the semi finals, that means they have deserved it both of their own merit and the fact that i think we have a 50 percent chance percent dollars, you know, in the previous map stand out player leonardo spin and soul at all. his achilles tendon and italy, 2nd, full back to get injured at the tournament. a glimmer of hope for spain, who have no such injury concerns, but scraped past switzerland after penalties in the quarter final. they do have the better recent record in this fixture though, spain have lost just twice to italy and the last 13 encounters winning 7. however,

given the choice between the 2 countries, dishes, british predicted dog, the psychic sausage was tempted by the serrano but eventually shows the lives on. yeah. i would have gone for the serrano so more sports coming up next kickoff looks at the rise of german football, prolific goals for roberts live and dusky news will be back at the company out. in the meantime, we can find all the latest headlines on our website. that is d w dot com. i'm the call really for me in the entire team. thanks for your company. ah. the
