>> france -- modi, as india reports over 300 new -- 200,000 new cases. the indian army called in to help, to. as many as 30 people are feared dead in suspected jihadist attack booking a faster. we will talk live to our correspondent. german prosecutors say they have international darknet platforms,

of child pornography used by more than 400,000 registered members. thank you for being with us. india's armed forces are being redeployed to help fight the coronavirus pandemic. india has already ordered its army to send its oxygen from army reserves to hospitals. retired military personnel have been called up to help. india saw new cases rise over 300,000 for the 12th consecutive this monday. as india oppositn parties pushing her into modi's government to launch a free vaccination drive, covid 19 cases continue to climb in india. on monday of this government-run hospital, more than 20 covid-19 patients died amid reports of an

oxygen shortage. >> [speaking foreign language] >> [speaking feign language] >> over the weekend, civil hospital authorities in new delhi saw internet -- court intervention with the new delhi court saying they would stop punishing officials if supplies went uto limit. the lockdown has been extended by a week in an attempt to contain the spread of

infections. on saturday, india opened its vaccination campaign, but the ongoing effort to inoculate people over 45 is stalling. the government has been criticized for handling the catastrophic surgeon cases, which is pushing the underfunded health system to a breaking point. >> it is clearly a health crisis on the one hand, a political crisis on the other. thank you for being with us. starting with the health issues, how serious is this situation right now for india? > according> are plateauing at the moment, but we are looking at close t400,000 cases per day, and there are reports that in other states, like bengal, the cases are rising.

so, nowhere close to being out of the woods anytime soon, i am afraid. >> how serious is this political for prime minister near jim modi? -- modi? >> he positions himself as a man who can govern and has very good policies, but basically his mishandling of this crisis, and one could say that non-handling of the crisis has really shown that the entire facade of governance and the image is a decive leader who takes actions to protect the population whose rhetoric is very much about personal responsibility he takes to protect the population, that credibility has taken a massive hit, and it seems very difficult at the moment how he is going to recover that credibility. obviously we help the pandemic does not go on forever, so there ll be time to deflect on and to recover, bu even from within his own party, and obviously in

the election results, especially in bengal, not so much in other states, there is a reflection of the public disaffection with his handling of the crisis. >> army intervention clearly is a good thing that is happening, international aid is a great sign, but india is a country that produces vaccines that get exported to other countries and some to the international market. it seems somehow unconscionable for people not getting access to a job. >> it is crazy that they are not getting a jab, and if you member prior to the current spike, part of the rhetoric was that he supped vaccines 284 countries and was taing in terms of i've never been on shows like this talking about india's vaccine diplomacy and so on, but the fact is they did notlace orders for vaccines according to

the director of the institute who has now left india and is now seeking -- is now living in london. he basically has claimed yesterday there was no order for vaccines goingack to march of this year. a pcentage of the population that has been vaccinated is quite low. obviously, in terms of numbers, it is quite high. you have a new app in new website where you can register yourself to get a vaccination, but there are no vaccines. mr. modi had promised t 17 of april he would inaugurate a vaccination festival which would trigger large numbers of people going for the vaccine, but in the absence of there being enough vaccines in the government not having opened enough vaccines, i think mr. modi did believe his rhetoric that covid was over in december of last year and his party had

passed a resolution congratulating him for leaving india to a victory over covid. the tribalism at the center of his politics, which he needed in the elections in these five states also leads to denial is him regarding the seriousness of the crisis, such unpreparedness on each and every front that we are looking at right now is basically a consequence of decisions that were political and had to do with the maintenance and enhancement of his political image that had been made from december onwards. >> this sounds like the type of hubris you read about in histories and the great dictators, horrific to think it is happening the middle of a pandemic when there are people that cannot get access to a vexing and they could not afford it because i understand some people would have to pay in india. >> not only would they have to pay, there is massive differential pricing for

vaccines perturb by state government in the same by the provincial government. there is a low expenditure on health care to begin with. despite that, we have had very successful vaccine rollout in the past for polio and so on. so, why for this when the government is king for people to pay money -- it just seems beyond belief that they think this is a good policy, especiallyecause mr. modi solicited and has connected -- collected an undeclared amount of money under the so-called money. we were told it would be such an expenditure to deal with the -- what we were facing out. it appears to be, as you said, not just a tale of hubris in

ancient history, but it seems almost unthinkable that a country that is democratic, has elections -- that this so of lack of, you know, taking responsibility for the pandemic exists side-by-side with mr. modi self projection of an image of being a very strong leader. i cannot think of a strong leader pat i'm hard to think of a parall. in democracy where there is a leader who despite the setbacks and state elections remains broadlyopular despite catastrophic failures of policy leading to the loss-of-life and the undercounting of both the number of cases and the people dead because that, itself, is important for image manement. that itself is not going to help

anyone because if you don't know what the scale of the pandemic is how can you realistically prepare an effective intervention to contain it? >> thank you very much for cutting through all of the confusion in the story and getting right to the facts as they are, and they are disturbing. thank you very much indeed. >> we will be watching all developments on that story in india. next, a suspected jihadist killed several dozen people in an attack in eastern burkina faso. discussed several dozen deaths in the civilian population there. an official from a local self-defense group confirmed the attack saying that at least 20 to 30 people have been killed, so there is some confusion there. let's bring in our correspondent, henry wilkins. several dozen deaths is one

thing we are hearing -- what more can you tell us at this stage? >> the attack happened this morning in the eastern portion of the keno facile, as you said, -- the keno facile -- burkina faso, in a place that has seen a lot of fighting the last five years. as you said, tews ports saying there were more than 30 officials killed, but the official ■communication saysmore than a dozen, so you make of those numbers what you will. the people that were killed were volunteersn defense of the homewood, who militia group set up to assist military that has been overwhelmed by the conflict that has been going on since 2016. sources tell me terrorists attacked the population were allowing their children to join

the volunteers for the defense of the homeland. >> henry, there was an attack last week that claimed the lives of two spanish journalists and and irish nationalism -- national that were making documentary is about anti-poaching. burkina faso has seen a catalog of such attacks, hasn't it? >> absolutely. i mean, what happened last week withhe iris -- irish conservationist and the spanish journalists was a high-profile attack. we have not seen too many of those over t last year. the number of fatalities that have taken place over the last year has gone down, but really in the last two weeks there have been these very big, high-profile attacks. ere were more than 2000 people that died last year and areas of

the couny have fallen out of control. so, yeah, this has all been happening in the eastern region and northern regions in particular. they have been struggling to contain it even with the help of international partners such as france, the u.s., and eu. >> henry wilkinson, thank you very much indeed. of course, we will be looking for more development on that story. as soon as we get them, we will bring them to you here on france 24. jim prosecutors say they have busted one of the worlds biggest international darknet platforms for child pornography used by more than 400,000 registered members. frankfurt prosecutors said in a statement that in mid april, three german suspects said to be the administrators of the boys town platform were arrested

along with a german user. one of the three main suspects was arrested in paraguay. they also searched seven buildings in connection germany. >> the arrest of three german men aged between 30 and 64 and the arrest in paraguay of a german national who is the option of an international -- object of international arrest warrant is expected to be expedited. it does not mean they are organizing members. they are organizing how to keep activities secret and that is what they were doing that was wrong. one of the members and germany is a 64-year-old who was accused of uploading over 3000 items of child pornography, and we are talking about some pictures and videos that even involve

toddlers, mark, so it is absolutely horrendous. the questions we might be asking ourselves is why were the arrests made in mid april and we are only hearing about these now? in cases like these we allow the system to cooperate for a little while. we don't have information of that kind. just a question of why we are finding out about the some two weeks after the arrest. quick stay with us. you're watching france 24. >> hello and welcome to the france 24 interview -- our guest today is rwanda's foreign minister and he joins us from brussels. thank you very much for being with us, sir.

vincent: thank you for hosting me. >> a few weeks ago a commission of historians here in france gave a report to president macron evoking the overwhelming, responsibilities of france in the genocide against the tutsi's back in 1994, however the report ruled out france complicity in the genocide. for years, the london authorities have accused paris of being complicit and participating. rwanda welcomed this report. have you considered they were

not complacent? >> let me first and foremost, the political courage of president macron who commissioned the report and it is an important step to establishing the truth and the role of france and the genocide in 1994. that is an important step. you know that we have, as a government or lawanda, has commissioned another another report that concluded almost the same, the very heavy responsibility of rants in the genocide, but our only port was not a commutative -- sheila to investigation report. it was about establishing the truth based on the existing information, existing archives.

the fact that those reports exist and coverage on the same conclusions was very -- a very important step toward establishing -- rules so that both countries can come together so that investigations can be done. they cannot be based on those reports with a different objective. our report was not about establishing communal responsibility. it was about establishing a circle of facts and that was the case with the clear commission. that is all i can say on that. >> but nevertheless commit is important to clarify -- if you say both reports converge it is

a departure from saying that france was complicit or participated in means that rwanda is now saying we acknowledge that france had a wall, but not a direct role in that genocide, correct? >> -- min. biruta: it is clear that according to the reports, it was not direct. there is no direct role in rwanda at that the list -- there is a heavy responsibility and the complicity, those are semantics. there is legal applications, but the overwhelming responsibility

were very important conclusions as well. i am not going to compare complicity. it is related to legal terms, but those reports were analyzing archives, which have been accessed, but we should also remember there were archives that have not been accessible yet. in the future there might be, but they based their analysis on those two reports on the archives to come up with different conclusions. >> right, but clearly this is a departure from the previous report that came out in 2008 which really accused france of very severe involvement, and there was, essentially, this notion that there could be legal

consequences. now you are clearly not about to launch legal cases against former french military or political officials because this is not the atmosphere. >> at least not based on those reports. we are not going to start legal actions based on those reports, but the news report put emphasis on the responsibilities of the political actors because the military personnel were just implementing the orders received from the political actors, so we forecast all of these politicians. instead of going to look at what the military has been doing because they were just implementing the orders received from the president, the

commander-in-chief -- that is the difference when we talk about these reports. there is a different approach, different objective, and basically on these reports, they use different conclusions, but the objective was not about establishing military officers that were in rwanda at that time. >> there seems to be clear objective right now, obtain recounts a legation between france and rwanda. do you think this is now feasible in the very near future? min. biruta: i think president macron has had that political courage to commission the creating of the report, and we think that -- that report and

the one commission one come up with the same conclusions and they constitute a relationship that you can build in the future. >> a symbolic gesture would be for france 2 formally apologize for past actions like the u.s. has done, like belgium has done, like the united nations has done. would you like to see france do so in order to building you reach her? min. biruta: we will leave that to france. the commissioner has not established the government of -- commission has not established the command of rwanda. if they were commissioned come up with that report, i am sure

the french government will know how to use that report for the future. >> are you expecting visits from french president emmanuel macron soon? min. biruta: that a visit could have happened during the report to their other french president's that visited rwanda. in the visit would have been organized, but it -- the country is ready to receive the president of france whenever he wants to visit. >> what you're hoping to see him soon? is that correct? min. biruta: yes, we are talking about such a visit, but we don't have yet details, and any time he wishes to visit we will be ready to receive him. >> i wanted to ask you about discussions you had with your belgian counterpart regarding

paul -- the former owner of a hotel and hasn't salivated around the world for saving 98 people during the genocide. he is on trial on terrorism charges. his families, -- his family, lawyers have criticized the way he has been brought to rwanda belgian foreign minister expressed her worries about the way his case was being handled. we heard criticism from the u.s., the european parliament -- is there a problem with the way rwanda is handling his trial, and the way it is dealing with political opponents like him? >> rwanda is committed to deliver a fair and transparent trial to that gentleman to do for other citizens, but we don't

need any supervision from any power. we can do that because we have institutions which are doing the work, and we are committing to deliver a transparent -- >> are you annoyed when the belgian minister tells you she is worried? min. biruta: she can be worried. many family may be worried for various reasons, but there is no reason to be worried. we will deliver a trial that is fair and transparent. >> thank you very much for appearing here on the france 24 interview. stay tuned on france 24 for more news. ♪
