shortages we the government is under pressure from from maharashtra from delhi even from the indian medical association to remove the lower age limit which is currently $45.00 full vaccinations for that any adult can get vaccinated and of course all of this doesn't bode well. domestically or internationally because india is the biggest contributor to the un's kovacs program it had shipped more than 60000000 doses of vaccines overseas already but it did have to slow that down around 2 weeks ago because of the increasing demand at home and despite the vaccination efforts in india we're still seeing these huge numbers what is actually driving those numbers . well we hear from prime minister that a little more day on sunday and he blamed what he called the severe decline in code that appropriate behavior like wearing masks and social distancing and we've also had health officials say that the current wave that we're seeing in india is not just because of people not at here and called it appropriate behavior but because of the large gatherings including political gatherings that were held earlier on in the

government from different states including maharashtra again but also delhi the capital and the indian medical association which is asking the central government to lower the to remove actually the lower age limit which is 45 years old to be eligible for vaccines so that any adult who wants to get vaccinated while cases rise as they are can do so and none of this bodes well either domestically or internationally because india is. has been the biggest contributor to the un's kovacs program it's shipped more than 60000000 vaccines but it had to considerably slow down vaccine exports 2 weeks ago and because of the increasing demand here in india these escalating numbers that we've been seeing what's actually driving that. well we've had both promise of that in morty and health officials saying for the past 2 months that we've seen these numbers go up say that that's because people haven't been following closely 1000 protocols like we are in markets like social distancing after the numbers fell at the start of the year we were recording an average of $10000.00 a day in early february and on wednesday there we

indian and washington dc which looks at the national debate over the 1830 indian removal act and its impact on southern tribes associate curator. paul chaat smith leads us through the gallery after an introduction in the americans exhibit which examines how indian imagery is prevalent in products toys and mascots. the exhibition is called americans and it's built on a paradox a riddle. and the paradox is this in 2018. the united states is a country of 330 million people and american indians are perhaps one of that population. most americans live in urban areas suburban areas parts of the country where they never actually see american indians. and yet an american daily life indian images place names advertising mascots surround people every single day so the show is about exploring this strange contradiction of how prevalent american indians are in american life. really from america the earliest memories of americans throughout their lives and yet is somehow is never noticed very never seems important. the curatorial team decided to call this a phenomenon called indians everywhere and what it's about is normalizing. wha

indian cases are associated with this variant, then thatis associated with this variant, then that isand essential equipment said to be in short supply. rakesh and his mum both have covid. every state, every district, every city, you can find each and every household, one or two positive cases of coronavirus. and this new strain is attacking like anything. the new strain is attacking straight to the lungs. the person feels like he or she is asymptomatic but after four of five days, they have a storm inside the lungs. can i speak to your mum? sure, one minute, let me go to her. india's official death toll has surpassed 170,000. experts say the pace at which new cases are increasing is concerning with more than 200,000 reported yesterday, the highest daily number so far. more than 1,000 died from the virus in 24 hours for the second day running. this couldn't come at a worse time. the hindu festival kumbh mela is attracting millions of people to the banks of the river ganges. it has triggered a row with some saying it shouldn't have been allowed to go ahead. a muslim faith gathering las

indians without the stereotypical name. one of the names we have here is a pendant from the golden state warriors back when they were called the san francisco warriors. this is that national basketball association team. they used headdresses to promote their team in the early days, that franchise. now they're still called the warriors but they make no reference to the american indians. so i think those are interesting things to be considering but our point of view is again how fast the phenomenon is. and we decided to avoid being pushed to this and saying, okay this one is okay. or, chicago black hawks if you change this, it's fine. they're really looking at the bigger picture. i think every ex submission to have a photograph of elvis pressley in it, that's my own personal point of view. in this case, it's an example of how many americans have found themselves wearing a headdress. health is pressley did a job, in which he played a native american character. but other people are here that weren't actually in movies playing in any american characters, including president touches franklin roosevelt, richard nixon, the famous union leader, jamie haifa, cher. and the reasons why people wore headdres

cases of a new indian variant have been identified, leading to calls that india should be put on the government's red list for travel. let's find out more from mike tildesley, associate. what more do we know about this new indian variant and how much they concern it is? so how much they concern it is? sr obviously we do need to remember that we do get a variance emerging all the time and many of those are pretty benign, are not really much different from any other variant circulating and occasionally we get variants that crop up that we are a bit more worried about. so with this indian variant, there do appear to be a couple of mutations which we think may make the virus more transmissible and also may make it easier to evade the vaccine. now, there is a big fact—finding exercise that has to go on at the moment because there is still a lot of uncertainty around this, but i think we need to get as much information as possible, as we can, to determine how risky this variant is and of course... inaudible the number of cases through rapid surge testing, so we don't get it taken off in the uk.— surge testing, so we don't get it taken off in the uk. what about in india, do

several doctors associations have written to the country's election commission pointing to more strict and practical guidelines given that given the realities of the indian election and yes in all fall down states cases are on the rise as in the rest of the country in the southern state of one candidate actually passed earlier on account of course just in case to win that election to that constituency will have to be held again that's as far as the election and the corporate situation goes on the plus side the country was immunizing about an average of $2500000.00 persons but there. in the last fortnight of march that has gone up 2 to 3500000 in the 1st fortnight of april that's on the positive side on the one part of it several states actually have got. stops that that would last for only a few days and on an average of about $8.00 to $10.00 days of stops in the pipeline and the states are actually wanted and also there's a large country so a lot of hatred you needed in terms of the person page population covered 1st state it's as low as 3 percent in the northeastern state of money quote and as high as 70 percent of the population in its neighboring sta
