>> this is out there -- al jazeera. >> hello. you are watching the news hour my from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. desperate scenes in india were people are left to die outside of hospitals as daily covid cases search to another war record. hopes are failing of saving the crew with their oxygen thought to have run out. thousands attend a funeral with

emmanuel macron leading tribute and pledging french support. and spacex sends for instruments -- astronauts to the international space station. >> i will have all the sport. rafael nadal takes a step toward a 12 barcelona open title. he is into the semifinals of this year's tournament. >> our top story, anger and desperation growing in india. the caste system is collapsing as covid-19 cases continue to sort. the second wave continued its trajectory on wednesday setting a new global record with another

332,000 infections. this is how the caseload was looking just a couple of months ago. on february 2, 8600 new cases confirmed. since then, this is what is happened. more than 1.2 million new cases. that's in the space of just four days. the death count follows a similar trend. on february night, there were 78 new deaths. now, more than 11,000 deaths in the past six days. an exponential rise in fatalities. there is a lag of up to 21 days in the infection the way it plays out between someone contracts the virus and when they die. a global health research center has projected the daily deaths could peek at 5600 in the middle of may before they begin falling.

hospitals in the country are were ordering shortages of beds and oxygen. hospital fire has killed 14 covid patients. from new delhi, we report on multiple crises facing the country. >> overcome with grief and anger, this man and other family members of 14 people killed in a fire at this hospital. they broke down as they confronted staff. the blaze swept through the intensive care unit. >> unfortunately, a major fire disaster happened at 3:00 a.m.. there was a sudden spark from the air conditioner and since it was a lot of oxygen supply in the icu, it was completely engulfed within two minutes. >> two days ago a leak in an oxygen tank or killed 24 covid-19 patients on ventilators after their supply was

disrupted. many indian states are facing a shortage of hospital beds and oxygen supplies. in new delhi, family members are struggling to find beds for their loved ones. >> i have been running around for a hospital to get my mother admitted. i have visited all the hospitals. they all say that beds are not available. my son is at home. who do i take care of? i am so stressed. --

-- since they have never had so many deaths in one day but says they were denied oxygen shortage. the leader has pleaded with th prime minister to ensure that uninterrupted delivery of oxygen to the capital after reports it was being stopped by bordering states. >> we cannot leave our people to die. we need people to understand that every life is important to us. i appeal to you on behalf of the people of delhi, if steps are taken, the city will witness a catastrophe. >> the staff at burial grounds and crematorium's are working day and night. the governor is using plays and -- planes and trains to transport the lifesaving gas. >> our guest is an epidemiologist and lecturer.

heartbreaking scenes of people lining up outside of hospitals struggling to get help, yet do the current figures reflect the reality of the situation? how concerned are you about mortality data being suppressed or simply not been reported? >> i think the data are hugely underestimating what is happening. it's a huge amount of under testing. the death toll for the future are huge underestimates because the deaths that are happening today are related to infections that happened three weeks ago. which means that death three weeks later from infections

today, we have not reached the peak of this. deaths will keep rising for the next three weeks and we can expect between 6000 and 20,000 deaths every day. >> just to be clear about this, the figures that have been publicly reported right now are completely unprecedented. it clips the first wave of the pandemic in india. you believe that the deaths could be 20 times higher? >> depending on what state you are in, on average it is estimated they are 10 times higher than what has been reported. >> what is happening with vaccinations? will the majority of vaccinations -- people be able to be vaccinated or ford vaccines? >> it is unlikely. only 10% of the population have been vaccinated. there are shortages of vaccine

although anybody above the age of 18 can be vaccinated. manufacturers are trying to ramp up vaccinations in hopes of reaching 60 million vaccinations manufactured per week. or how much we ramp up vaccinations, it's not going to have an impact. what we need is to bring cases down. >> this rise in infections and deaths coincides with festivals and state elections being permitted to go ahead despite warnings as far back as february about very aggressive second wave. could the government have done more? >> absolutely there is no doubt. cases have been rising since february. we know what exponential rises are.

every day matters. to wait for six weeks on a pandemic that is growing exponentially is negligent. until a few days ago, there were election rallies going ahead. frankly, i don't know it is completely astonishing that the government has let this get out of control. it was entirely predictable in late february. >> thank you very much. lias infections rise in kenya, health workers there are saying they have to decide which patients get beds in intensive care. hospitals are desperately short of oxygen putting more lives at risk. some people and companies are being accused of hoarding oxygen cylinders. >> his wife died from covid-19

complications in march. government isolation facility in kenya where they live did not have enough oxygen. >> my wife was suffering. when i finally got one, six other people were in the queue. >> health workers take us to the intensive care unit or icu. all 12 beds have been occupied for a while. >> then they will see if there are beds available in the neighboring counties. >> the 600 icu beds philip fast and the demand for oxygen has almost doubled. government hospitals don't have enough.

this is the company's largest privately owned steel factory. it is lost about $30,000 u.s. per day to provide oxygen to hospitals for free. >> hundreds of hospitals and health care centers get their oxygen from here. the supply is not nearly enough to meet the demand. >> one patient is taking almost three cylinders of oxygen every day. it is impossible for any hospitals to keep up with this demand. >> to avoid the total collapse of the health care system, the government wants to reach herd immunity to the disease vaccinations as quickly as possible. nearly one million people have so far had their first dose of

the astrazeneca vaccine. the -- supplies are running low and there is uncertainty for the second jabs of astrazeneca. authorities are concerned about those falling ill and dying in rural villages. >> now, we have required that everyone who dies has to be tested for covid. people are falling dead at home especially older people. >> he tells us he wants the government to provide facilities for patients who cannot afford private hospitals so they don't go through the same trauma is family did. >> a u.s. health panel has recommended that the use of j&j vaccine should resume, despite the rare risk of blood clots. advisors for the cdc say the

benefits outweigh the serious but small risk. almost 8 million people in the u.s. have been vaccinated with shot. health officials have uncovered just 15 cases of an unusual type of blood clot. all were women, most under the age of 50. our reporter is in los angeles. how quickly could the j&j vaccine come back into use? >> it will take a few days for all of the eyes to be dotted and tees to be crossed. this is the most important step in getting the johnson & johnson vaccine back into circulation. the expert advisory panel at the cdc voted in favor of recommending the j&j vaccine, the single dose be allowed to be used again without restrictions

and all people above the age of 18. the panel voted 10 in favor of this decision. for against and one person abstaining. the j&j vaccine is considered very important because it is a single dose. it is more convenient ship, it does not require refrigeration or freezing to very low temperatures. health authorities in the united states believe it will be essential to reach hard-to-reach physically distant or dispersed populations and people who are reluctant to get a double vaccine say the moderna or pfizer vaccine will get just one dose. this is in addition to the vaccines already approved for emergency use. today, 27% of the entire population of the united states

have been fully vaccinated and about 135 million adults have gotten at least one dose. the vaccine situation has improveds. greatly over the past several weeks. i can tell you that vaccine centers that have very long lines about a month ago are much less crowded, they are taken walkins and everyone over the age of 16 in the united states is now eligible. >> thank you so much. >> now to russia, vladimir putin has backed a proposal for a 10 day nonworking time in early mid -- early may. they are already public holidays, but the first through the 11th can become non-workdays as well with russians encouraged to stay-at-home. the health minister says the

situation is stable, but it may worsen when people start to socialize in the warmer weather. >> i will urge all of my colleagues to listen to specialists, overall adjusts, not just professionals but people who have already been fighting infection especially in the last year. if you think the measure to prolong the holidays is necessary, then we will do so. >> the australian city of perth is going to a three-day lockdown in response to one person testing positive due to covid after leaving hotel quarantine. people flocked to supplies at supermarkets in preparation for the restrictions. a straw you has come close to eradicating the virus for the limited number of people allowed to enter the country.

in the spread of the coronavirus may have reached new heights. the base cap of the world's highest mountain, a norwegian climber has become the first person to test positive for covid 19 at mount everest base camp. he was hospitalized, but he has since tested negative. or than 300 climbers will attempt to climate it it's peak season. >> now it's only a question of time to see the spread. if we don't react now, that is the most important thing we would need information, confirmation of how many cases, what teams we need to isolate. we need to test all the persons in base camp. that needs to be done now. i think this is the only chance to save the season. >> you are watching the news hour live from london. the inoculation that could beat

one of the world's biggest killers, a new malaria vaccine enters human trials. alexei navalny says he is ending his hunger strike after appeals by his doctors. later, we look at what women's rugby is doing to tackle concerns over concussion injuries. ♪ >> hopes are fading fast for the crew of an indonesian submarine. we report on this now from jakarta. >> by air and by sea, the search grows more urgent as hours pass. 53 people were on board and

waters north of bali on wednesday morning. they were taking part in what should have been a routine training exercise when contact with the vessel was lost. >> the submarine is now silent. there is no sound. we can only use sonar. >> experts are concerned the submarine may have sunk too far and collapsed under extreme pressure. >> the deeper a submarine goes, the more water pressure increases on it. every 10 meters, there is one kilogram of pressure added to each centimeter of the body of the submarine. >> neighboring countries are assisting with the search and an australian navy vessel is on site. >> indonesian authorities say the submarine was in good condition despite being built in the late 1970's. it completed a two-year refitting process in south korea in 2012 and recently completed scheduled maintenance in indonesia.

on thursday, personnel spotted an oil slick that officials say could indicate a fuel leak. for many of the family and friends of those on board, the ordeal is too much to bear. his wife said i want to be with him, i miss him but i can't because he has to work. i said to be patient. but now we have heard this information. >> they got married two months ago before going on the submarine mission. before he left, he was hoping that when he got back he was hoping they would have a baby. instead, her family like dozens around and initiate now faces a for answers. >> security officials in nigeria says gunmen have shot dead the university students they kidnapped this week. they were among 23 people taken

at gunpoint on tuesday. there were 20 students and three staff taken. it is the latest in a series of kidnapping from educational establishments in the past four months with 700 students taken for ransom. thousands of people have turned out for the funeral of chad's late president. emmanuel macron led the tribute. he died of injuries while visiting the north of the country. >> with the shots, the army and people of chad pay tribute to their formal leader. a funeral service for the president of three decades was held in the capital's largest public square. it was attended by heads of

neighboring countries. senior officials and family. the whole country and its people can feel my pain as a wife. who has lost her husband in difficult times. we have lost countrymen and head of our family. he was an exemplary husband, father, and counselor. all these characteristics of one man that we have lost. >> he died from injuries so -- sustained fighting a group in the northern region. coming to power in 1990 after overthrowing his predecessor, his tenure was filled with rebellions and who attempts. after a military council took over, his son a military officer is now head of state. the country's constitution, parliament, and government have all been dissolved and a charter put out to grab the country for the next 18 months. >> the death closes a chapter

for 30 years. many opposition leaders as well as others reject the new leader. as the military council calls for dialogue, others are coming for a labor strike. all of this as chad faces threats internally and externally. chad is also part of the g5 countries. before the funeral, chad's strongest ally, emmanuel macron, led the military council and leaders to discuss security. >> france will not let anybody question or threaten today or tomorrow the stability and territorial integrity. france will be here to ensure the promise that was made will be realized for all patriots. stability including civilized

dialogue is what we want. we are by your side. >> many of the supporters who came for the funeral cannot hide their grief. >> we should be strong and not with this country go to waste. he died for this country so we should unite and try to make this country move forward. >> we need to be united for the country stability for the country security and for its territorial integrity. not everyone is happy military is in charge, but they're open to dialogue. >> he ibeing buried next to his father's grave. to the world, he was one of africa's longest serving leaders who died in conflict. to most of the opposition, he was a ruthless leader. to others, he will be remembered as the man who led the country during difficult times. >> a former u.s. assistant

secretary of state for african affairs joins us from washington. can you shed some light on the rebel group that entered chad who were based in libya. who are they and how well armed is the group? >> the group that invaded from libya are not islamic jihadists. they are chadians who are fighting the government because of corruption. chad is an oil producing country. none of the money coming from oil has been used for the benefit of the chadian people. these rebels coming from libya are fighting for the people of chad they want a better deal from the oil. i am pleased to see that president macron of france is encouraging dialogue. this is the only way to go. the army of chad can no longer resist these rebels who are stronger. >> what do you anticipate will

happen? we had some bold remarks from emmanuel macron. how engaged might french forces become? >> he has a choice. he can use his forces based in chad, there is a large french base there to fight the rebels into defeat them. they have done that before in previous years. or, he can put pressure on the new military junta to sit around a table with the rebels and start democratic process. my instinct is that looking at his own domestic situation, he will call for a dialogue. >> is that because it will be difficult for his son to know what -- mobilize and galvanize troops because this particular group is -- they have more

armaments, more equipment more influential than other rebel groups of the past? >> that's right. in the eyes of the chadian people, they have more legitimacy. it's going to be hard for his son to fight them. the french can go against them because they need the army to fight against the islamist jihadist. i don't think president macron looking at his own domestic situation, the french are tired of what is going on in that area. he is going to look for a peaceful outcome rather than a military outcome. >> what could it mean for uncertainty, instability in the region neighboring countries? >> the french are in the neighboring countries, they have 5000 troops. there are americans helping with drone attacks and training and that sort of thing. i think that will go on.

even there, you can see efforts being made for dialogue. the government there is saying let's dialogue with these islamist rebels and see if we can come to a conclusion. much of the problem is not so much religion, it is socioeconomic. many of the people fighting governments in that region are very poor, they have not gotten any benefits from the government. things are starting to change in respect to having a better deal for a majority of the people. >> thank you for joining us on the newshour. still ahead on the program, southeast asian leaders divided over how to respond to the coup in myanmar ahead of their regional meeting. >> why would they come through my neighborhood?

signs to support the unity vernment. the protesters have been outraged in the past week by the decision to invite a senior general to the leader summit. >> we are very upset and sorry about what is happening. there killing their own people. >> the chaos that has been seen has been disturbing for many. individually, countries have condemned the bloodshed and urged restraint. the possibility of a failed state in the block threatens the claims of economic and political stability.

others have remained quiet expecting the protests will be limited and quickly suppressed. >> the ties don't seem keen on intervention which is why the prime minister is staying at home this weekend. >> the lack of unity, a failure to hold the generals to account is likely to be costly. the world food program is warning that many could become hungry in the coming months. >> this is a humanitarian disaster in the making. it is early-stage. we are beginning to see civil war, failed state. there will be no end to it. >> protesters hold a candlelight vigil for the victims of the myanmar protests. now, more than 700 people.

few are expecting more tha thoughts and prayers small leaders. >> alexei navalny is ending his hunger strike after 24 days. his own supporters and doctors urged him to end the protest due to his failing health. he is demanding access to his own doctor to address numbness in his legs and arms. more than 1500 of his supporters were arrested during widespread protests on wednesday calling for his immediate release. france says that it's antiterrorist prosecutor is handling investigation into the stabbing of a police administrator. it happened at a police station southwest of paris. police officers shot dead the attacker who was tunisian national after he stabbed the woman twice in the throat.

compete with fossil fuels. third, governments and corporations need to adopt policies that will make it faster and cheaper to meet the transition and leaders will need to reward those who take difficult steps. >> other stories are following u.s. -- construction of a pipeline in memphis. some have called the proposed project a case of environmental racism. our reporter joins us from memphis, tennessee. >> residence in south memphis had been fighting against the construction of an oil pipeline. she says she is worried about what it will mean if a proposed pipeline will be able to cut through the neighborhood she has lived in most of her life. >> my thought was why would they bring it through my neighborhood? >> there is a growing movement

against the plans for the project. the concern from activists is over the route being proposed for the pipeline. >> one of the more severe consequences is to our environment. in addition to this, they are building a top an area that holds seismic activity. >> in recent weeks, a growing course of forces have spoken out against the project including 28 number so congress and al gore. >> it is reckless, racist, a ripoff. we are try to stop the pipeline.

the memphis mayor just came out against it. the two companies are trying to bully the city with threats of lawsuits. they do that everywhere even though their legal theories are often nonsense. memphis is standing up because the black citizens of memphis and their white allies are standing up to say no more of this environmental racism. >> on top of this is the use of a permit that allows fossil fuel companies to fast track projects. >> the parent company spots will for the project did not respond to our request for comment but

the company has defended the project promising the pipeline will meet environment of standards. >> a new malaria vaccine i being held as aazame changer. it is proved to 7% effective in stopping infections and is acting -- entering larger human trials. malaria kills half a million people every year, many of them children. >> it is in this land that a groundbreaking discovery was made. here, blood samples were analyzed from 450 children given an experimental vaccine against malaria developed by scientists from oxford university. scientists say the result of their story are -- study are extraordinary. >> never have i seen such good results. they say their children are feeling great. it's an extraordinary moment to see that a vaccine actually

works. >> malaria kills almost half a million people every year. there have been efforts to try to slow the spread of malaria by distributing mosquito nets and repellents. during the rainy season, malaria thrives and last year, more people died of it than covid-19. an effective vaccine would save and protect not millions of people, but billions of people exposed to mosquitoes that carry the deadly parasite. >> larger trials will now be carried out. >> this is the first time we have gone, just anyone has gone above that level with 77%.

importantly, it can be manufactured at large-scale. we are hearing from institute of india that they will be able to produce 200 million doses or more. >> making the vaccine affordable for those who need it most will be a challenge. there have been decades of effort against malaria. this experimental vaccine is a breakthrough not just for science, but for humanity. >> the newshour live from london is still ahead. iraqis keep celebrating an ancient tradition despite coronavirus restrictions. athletes react to a ruling on taking any at the tokyo olympics. we will be here with that story.

>> a number of virus infections in iraq soared past one million. the government is forced to impose a partial curfew. it is also discouraging large gatherings which is impacting popular ramadan traditions. >> it is 9:00 p.m.. the evening curfew to spread the slow of -- slow the spread of coronavirus is enforced. for these young men, the night has only begun. they have gathered in the sports

stadium to play a traditional game that involves two teams trying to hide a ring from one another. the name means ring and is a particular popular pastime during ramadan. >> ramadan and iraq without the game would not be the same. i wake up in the afternoon to pray, read the koran and after breaking our fast, we prepared to play until dawn. >> it dates back hundreds of years, but has since evolved into a competitive sport. this is the first round of a national championship typically held during ramadan with the support of the mill -- ministry of youth and sport. this is the organizer and most famous player. >> the essential idea behind the championship is to reunite iraqis. it is also about rules. finding a ring depends on the

foresight and talent of the players. >> goes like this. the team leader hides the ring in the fist of one of his players. the captain from the other team has 10 minutes to find the ring which he can only do by studying the facial expressions of the players. the captain can rule out players he believes don't have the ring by asking them to show their hands. but he only gets one guess to identify the ring bearer. a task that has been made easier this year because there are only 40 players on each team. >> team members can reach 400 or 500. now, the circumstances are different. iraq is going through a health and security crisis. >> last year's tournament was canceled due to the pandemic. this year, it was allowed to go ahead with certain restrictions. usually, the stadium would be packed with players and spectators, but this year authorities have restricted attendance as the country

registers record numbers of new coronavirus infections. there is no social distancing, no masks, and it appears little concern about the rise in covid-19 cases. the teams will play until dawn when the curfew is listed and they return home to begin their fast again. >> thank you. rafael nadal has taken one step closer to a record 12 barcelona open titles. on friday, he booked his spot in the semifinals. he is currently ranked third in the world and is looking to win his first title of the year. recent monte carlo masters champion extended his unbeaten

run to eight matches. he had a convincing victory over the canadian. he will now face an opponent for a place in sunday's final. the finals of the stood guard open after beating the 2019 winner. they bought off -- fought off a comeback. she will now face the world number one. this was the first game after withdrawing from the world super league. thousands of fans protested outside the emirates against the owner demanding the american steps down. the majority of arsenal supporters are furious about the club's involvement in the breakaway european tournament.

the owners say they have no intention to sell the club. the international olympic committee has confirmed that athletes who make political or social justice protests at the tokyo games could be punished. athletes showing their support for movements like black lives matter have become common in recent months, but the ioc says arising fist or kneeling for the national anthem will not be allowed on the field of play. the players association has offered legal support for any players who are sanctioned at the olympics. >> to suggest that a survey on a question of appropriateness is the effective way to resolve the question of podium protests at the limpet games is flawed. the starting point for the ioc is to say that we are going to

uphold the internationally recognized human rights of everyone at the olympic games especially the athletes. there is a very proud history of athlete activism and even the movement itself has recognized that champions have been on the right side of history even though they were condemned at the time. the right to freedom of expression is not an absolute right. it can be used to promote hate, but it can be used to promote social justice. we have to take the lead from the players especially over the last 12-24 months who have been heroic in championing social justice and championing gender equality and other just causes through sport. from their example, it becomes clear that if the rule is not going to be legitimate and its legitimacy is lost because the athletes choose to disregard it,

clearly there is no place for any sanction and if that needs to be challenged be it legally or through public campaigning or through other forms of support for the athletes that we will provide whatever support is necessary. >> in the women's rugby six nations tournament kickoff on saturday, the women battle on the field there is growing concern for what repeated blows are doing to their brains. >> preparing for the big day, england red roses will take on france. watched what is expected to be a record television audience. rugby is the fastest growing sport for women in the u.k.. mobley, it is played by 2.7 million women and girls. a former player will be watching. hoping any injuries are taken more seriously now than a decade ago when she played.

>> i used to get regular concussions. it would not be something that i would share with the coach. i wouldn't want to be taken off. i wouldn't want to have weeks out. >> parliament is investigating links between concussions and sport and long-term brain injury. >> doctors told the committee last month that women are twice as likely as men to suffer concussions in sport. despite the greater likelihood for women to suffer brain injury, it is male athletes who are given priority when it comes to medical care and research into detection and prevention. >> there is cause for concern, because the average woman's heads are smaller. it's a hypothesis that has been raised but as far as i know, no one has done a proper study on it so far. >> besides smaller heads and next, there are other theories about why women's concussion levels are higher.

hormones, or women are more likely to report it. >> at this practice session, the coaches use touch base training. sparing the tackle and teaching the girls how to fall safely as many concussions are caused by heads slapping the ground. parents are warned to watch for any signs of concussion and the players themselves are very aware. >> the most important thing is that you're safe and you don't go back to place too soon because repeated concussions can be devastating long-term. >> the benefits of exercise are well-documented. to ensure the joy of playing remains, the sport of rugby is looking to reduce risks as the ultimate goal. >> in england get star has withdrawn from this seasons premier league. he had missed the start of the campaign for his team.

he has undergone surgery to remove fragments of glass from his finger. he has been nursing a long-standing elbow injury. now back to london. >> history is being made in earth orbit as for astronauts travel to the iss on a recycled rocket. the spacex mission blasted off from florida reusing a falcon rocket and dragon capsule. it is hoped it could dramatically cost -- cut the cost of future space travel. >> predawn lunches are among the most spectacular. friday mornings blast off did not disappoint. this is the third launch from spacex in less than 12 months. the first time the company reused the rocket and dragon capsule.

using recyclable boosters designed to fly themselves back to earth is a cornerstone of the spacex plans to make traveling cheaper. >> it has been amazing with the team has been able to accomplish. >> say hello to the crew and let us know your rocket is home safe. >> on board, before astronauts are on a six-month mission to the iss. if all goes well, they will be welcomed on the space station saturday morning. >> advancing humans face light d going beyond the orbit to the moon and mars and making humanity a spaceflight mission. >> seeing planes blastoff from cape canaveral is breathtaking. >> to keep the tradition alive

and keep technology growing and being able to launch from american soil is amazing. >> we went in with not a lot of expectation and it was cool. not much else to say it was awesome. >> commercial spaceflight is entering a new era. by reusing rockets and modules, spacex is making space exploration economically viable. later this year, omission will take for citizens into orbit. the first of its kind in history. >> that is it for the newshour. i will be back with a few bulletin in a few minutes. all the latest from india where the number of covid infections and deaths continue to sort. -- soar. i will be back with that story very shortly.
