the british medical journal the lancet is one coronavirus deaths in india could reach 1000000 by the beginning of august the government has been facing mounting criticism over its response to the country's exhilarating outbreak. leaders are urging the u.s. to lift restrictions on covert 19 vaccine exports the global vaccine shortage was one of the main items on the agenda as during the 1st in person summit of the year you council president charles michel says the white house proposal to suspend peyton's on vaccines would not be a magic bullet the leaders have also been discussing how to repair the economic damage done by the pandemic util don't ask a successful and your traditional gel we should work towards the vaccine becoming a global public product what does that mean firstly producing more that's why i'm calling directly on the united states to end the export ban on the vaccines but also on the components of these vaccines which is preventing production. the has posted bail for the release of georgia's jailed opposition leader in the hopes of ending a drawn out political crisis

driven by experts medical and scientific opinion but the renowned international medical journal the lancet has just been the latest to criticize the government's handling of the pandemic and closing its vaccination program which the lancet described as botched and. just focus of the general situation it in the last few weeks to be marred by these dreadful pictures of funeral pars in the streets hospitals running out of oxygen people dying outside hospitals or things getting. they are getting a little bit better in delhi the cases have been the lowest here since they were in early april but because delhi's testing has also come down we can't focus too much on those figures figures yet they've also come down in the worst affected state and the figures there have been down for at least a week now and so it looks really does look like things are improving there they are getting much worse in places like the southern state of card nasha where the intensive care unit in its capital city of bengal looting one of the richest in the country like mumbai and like delhi which were the worst affected b

and by one medical journal "the lancet." which is quite unhush. it's not unprecedented but quite unusual to have such condemnation from a medical journal. they say prime minister modi and his government had squandered the early success they had in trying to keep the pandemic under control, also saying that at times the government seemed far more concerned with silencing critics and stopping criticism on twitter than they did in actually trying to get a handle on the pandemic itself, saying that complacency did play a part and it was inexcusable. there is a projection from the lancet which certainly is of great concern saying they believe they could see 1 million deaths by august. now we are on less than a quarter of that at this point. certainly there is a great concern as to when these figures are going to stop increasing, when the peak will be created. the lancet saying that if that 1 million figure is in fact reached then it will be -- show that the modi government is responsible for presiding over a self-inflicted national catastrophe. now, on

if that is the case the lancet said that prime minister modi and his government would be responsible cted national catastrophe. now, in keeping with criticism of the modi government and taking some of the responsibilities away from them, we have also seen the supreme court ruling that there should be a task force set up to try to organize the distribution of oxygen. this has been one of the main concerns of hospitals in delhi and in other states around india, the lack of oxygen for patients that need it. and what they say is they will have a task force of government officials, of academics, of senior health officials and they will decide exactly where the need is greatest and make sure that they are able to distribute the oxygen to where it's needed. we have seen in recent days and weeks in fact there has been a tremendous amount of support from the international community. a lot of oxygen cylinders coming in. oxygen-generating plant components from germany being flown in as well. and so what this task force will try to do is to give a more overall picture of exactly where it is neede
