interesting that the japan times actually has two vaccine . seis stories on their front page. one of those is they are offering vaccine leave for workers as part of this roll—out. but your take on the lead story there. mr; roll-out. but your take on the lead story there-— story there. my take is that it is incredible how _ story there. my take is that it is incredible how slow _ story there. my take is that it is incredible how slow it _ story there. my take is that it is incredible how slow it has - story there. my take is that it is incredible how slow it has been | story there. my take is that it is l incredible how slow it has been in japan. basically there health authorities have just got round to authorising the oxford vaccine and the moderna vaccine which been authorised in the us and europe and the uk for months now. so you slightly wonder why it is taken japan so long, and if you look at the figures for vaccination in japan, and they had vaccinated about 4% of their population so far. obviously we are about 50% here in the uk, and you

let's move to the japan times. giles, approvals of vaccines to bolster roll—out.think the role it has been pretty slow in japan. - roll-out. i think the role it hasl been pretty slow in japan. they roll-out. i think the role it has - been pretty slow in japan. they had been _

earlier we spoke to a sports writer to the japan times donald would say he says that cancellation of the games and take you through remains highly unlikely not being able to welcome the head of the i.o.c. roughly 2 months before the olympics it is not the best optics it is a difficult situation it's been a difficult situation since the start of the pandemic and i think that it doesn't look great for everyone involved specially with the state of emergency being extended till the end of the month they have a lot of alternatives that don't involve camps and games for example severely restricting attendance or closing them to the public entirely and just holding the competition for broadcast something like that would reduce the amount of staff need it would reduce the amount of people on site and it would let them hold the games even if it's nothing close to what we had expected they would be when tokyo was announced as the host several years ago now the current of our surge that has ravaged india for weeks is now spreading to nepal whether if it is the crisis will be just as bad or even

time. and so if they are canceled. japan would make history for a very bad reason once again. the economic impact i think would be massive and most of that would ball on the japanese economy and domestic sponsors and most of the sponsorships with the i.o.c. or the i.o.c. and mostly united states television broadcasters are insured. so the stakes are very high for japan. well to 11 weeks ago i say appreciate your point of view thanks very much and thank you. and the toast relay in the prefecture has been cancelled and we'll have more on that later in sports segment. ok the crate of our surge that has ravaged india for weeks is now spreading to nepal where there are fears the crisis will be just as bad or perhaps even worse the poll has $57.00 times more cases than a month ago and it's reporting about 28 new infections a day for every 100000 people that is roughly what the situation was in india 2 weeks ago a lot down has been extended in the capital katmandu and the government has tried to ready the hospital system but critics fear it's just too little too late across the borde

time. i think everybody understands the stakes in bold. the point is now even in japan, a number of a number of cities and they're not going through from hosting division captain. so one of those things are, are there. but i think i agree with us to gold who are given a few days back that look, there is no question that most at least will not be will limit ice in the way that they would have in a normal him does not in normal game, this is not a normal time the world if we know what has changed, but everybody is going to be in the same board. the question really is knowing, knowing that, do you go ahead with the games or not and see, look what is that to take? and i speak to from the capital of a country, which is right now it's offering from the worst 2nd wave in the world, which is lost, at least over more than 320-0000 debt to go with and more than 27000000 cases. so i don't think anybody can minimize the impact of go where the potential danger, if this was of, if there was better event or things going out of hand. but look at what is that stick. the point is the wou

time. i think everybody understands the stakes in bold. the point is now even in japan, a number of a number of cities and they're not withdrawing from hosting immunization come from . so one of those things are, are there. but i think i agree with sebastian goals who argue with a few days back. but look, there is no question that most at least will not be will limit ice in the way that they would have in a normal him does not in normal games, not a normal time. the world if we know what has changed. but everybody is going to be in the same board. the question really is, well, knowing, knowing that, do you go ahead with the games or not and see, look what is at stake, and i speak to from the capital of a country, which is right now it's offering the worst 2nd wave in the world, which is lost at least over more than 320-0000 debt to go with more than 27000000 cases. so i don't think anybody can minimize the impact of go where the potential danger, if this was, if there was better event or things going out of hand. but look at what is that stick. the point is, the wound a

japan's vaccination program. right, exactly. there's so many things going on at the same time in japan. as you know, there's an ongoing state of emergency and prime minister suga is expected to decide on friday whether to extend 9 pretty factors including tokyo. and while recent efforts have been made to sort of bolster and quicken the vaccine roll out in japan, 2 large scale vaccine sites opened up in tokyo and soccer just 2 days ago over here in japan. whether that's going to be enough to hold the game safely, is still a big question. reassess what is the broader public mood at the moment? i mean, what are recent polls suggesting? recent calls suggests that the majority of people in japan are strongly opposed to the tokyo games. take any poll taken in the last month or 2, maybe 60 to 80 percent combined. believe the talk, your bmw cant be held safely, need to be postponed again or should be cancelled altogether. so that the older telling. yeah, and despite that public sentiment so far the japanese government and the international impact committee had resisted calls to cancel the games

all of it is a sports right for the japan times with more now on the public mood in japan did. 4th way that we're currently experiencing has led to 9 and potentially 10 prefecture as falling under a state of emergency guidelines. we're going back to the stricter limits on restaurants, on department stores, small sporting events, musical then theaters. the public is very wary. the public is the team by the restrictions that we've had to live through over the last 15 months or so. and certainly things haven't been as severe in japan as they have in the rest. the world above the public sees the back teen rule out. that's happening in the united states. for example, in the united kingdom. they see that like in other countries as returning normal and compared to that, the roll out in japan has been very slow and that very frustrating to a lot of people. i think that athletes are in a very difficult position. they've been training for years to reach this point. this is the height of any athletes career. and they want to come to the host nation and to compete in front of an appreciative audie

so let's bring him down all of it to the forts writer for the japan times. he joins us via skype from tokyo, done good to happy back in the program to look the now seems to be this growing chorus of calls in japan to counselor games. what is the broader public mood now and why are people in japan so worried about this? thank you again for having me. overall, the moved towards the olympics among the public is skewing negative. recent public opinion polls have shown that roughly 60 percent of the public are in favor of cancelling the games versus holding them without any fans versus holding them with a limited number of fans. so over time, the amount, the number of people who are calling games be canceled has gone up. but at this point, the number of people who are calling for the games be postponed is dropping some pulling services and stop offering that option because it seems like we're too close to that. to happen again. i think everyone's sort of realizing that either it's going to happen or it isn't. yeah, to be further down. japan have seen the explosive

where you say takahashi is national correspondent for the japan times. he says there are serious doubts about whether the games can be held safely. what i was pretty surprised when i saw that headline when i woke up this morning. in some ways, it may have been inevitable though, as you know, since the 4th way of depend on it began in japan a few months ago. public composition of the tokyo games has been growing. and i think this is a really striking, manifestation of that organizers are expected to speak in a press conference later today. and i think they're not going to be able to avoid confronting these issues. the issues raised in that there's an ongoing state of emergency and prime ministers who is expected to decide on friday whether to extend that in 9 prefecture, including tokyo. and while recent efforts have been made to sort of bolster and quicken the vaccine roll out in japan, 2 large scale vaccine sites opened up in tokyo and soft i just 2 days ago over here in japan. whether that's going to be enough to hold again, safely, is still a big ques

dan all the words he was in so damn thank you for your time if japan are not in a position to welcomethe head of the olympics this close to the games how can they expect to welcome tens of thousands of athletes. i think that the tokyo organizing committee would be happy to tell you all about the recent diving test event and world cup that they held bring over i believe roughly $200.00 athletes from overseas they've been bringing in athletes from across the world in recent test events we had several international football matches all of these are considered trials and being held in bubbles to to establish the protocols and to help organizers prepared to welcome 10000 athletes but of course not being able to welcome the head of the i.o.c. roughly 2 months before the olympics it is not the best optics it is difficult situation it's been a difficult situation since the start of the pandemic and i think that it doesn't look great for everyone involved specially with the state of emergency being extended till the end of the month ok of ease state of emergency continues but the organizers of

. >> we spoke to sportswriter of the japan times who says the cancellation of the games remains unlikelyto welcome the head of the ifc roughly two months before the olympics is not the best optics. it is a difficult situation. it has been difficult since the start of the pandemic. i think that it does not look great for everyone involved, especially with the state of emergency being extended until the end of the month. they have a lot of alternatives that don't involve canceling the games, severely restricting attendance or closing it to the public entirely and just holding the competition or broadcast. some thing like that would reduce the amount of staff needed and produce the amount of -- reduce the amount of people on site and would let themold the games even if it is nothing close. when tokyo was announced as the host several years ago. >> a five time winner is out and can tell us. he was beaten 6-4, 6-4 in the finals. the german picking up his first-rate when over the grand slam champion and winning -- ending his winning streak. he will face the u.s. open. >> one of the biggest win

so it's been a pretty bad time in japan, although it does seem that the new case numbers are now starting to slow down. there have been, as we heard growing calls from the public also from the medical community to cancel the olympic games because of concerns of recovery. 19, will the government actually pressured the olympic committee to cancel? no, they will not. the, the government has been going along with the i o. c on this, the international committee. basically the way it's working out is that you have on the one side of the international of the committee and the government very strongly determined to hold the olympics. no matter what happens and on the other side is the vast majority of the japanese people who are very upset. and to think that this lympics could become a, a super spreader event that, that makes the cold crisis much worse. journalist michael pen speaking to us from tokyo, thank you very much for your insights. thank you. tens of thousands of people are leaving the city of goma and the democratic republic of congo. authorities are warning that a nearby volcano could

that we've got in there you have high pressure just keeping it settled into southern parts of japan for the time being that will gradually get nudged out of the way by that very heavy rain which makes its way across eastern china through a choose day pushing across into the korean peninsula most of that pleasant spring sunshine tokyo getting up to around 26 celsius on shoes day after day because the cloud in the rain will continue to slide its way in across cuba shoes southern parts of honshu western areas to japan turning increasingly wet as we go into the 2nd half of the week that rain will make its way across the rest of the country dry weather does come back in behind the not so bad but you can see the southern parts of china still some pockets of very heavy rain with the possibility of some localized flooding as a result of that heavy rain continuing to just around bangladesh into the northeast of india can see the same chain of showers out of southwest china into the far north east of india and just hugging the foothills of the himalayas will see some showers coming into good parts of nort
