For doctors in iraq say at least 27 people have been killed after an explosion inside a baghdad hospital fire burned through a ward covert 19 patients were being treated its understood an accident caused an oxygen tank to explode the fire has now been put out simona faulting has more from baghdad. We understand at the time of the incident there were 120 patients admitted. To hospital 30 of them were specifically in the respiratory carrying it because this is a hospital that handles primarily covert 1000 patients and in addition to these 120 patients there were several family members want to perfect per patient admitted because this is a people curiosity in the iraqi Health Care System that family members are actually allowed to be present alongside covert patients in the hospital and of course in addition to that there were also Health Care Workers so at the moment the death toll is expected to increase because many people were rushed to nearby hospitals with severe burn injuries and what we understand in terms of the cause of this fire it was caused by the explosion of an oxygen oxygen cylinder the way it works of oxygen supply in these hospitals in many hospitals in iraq in fact is that there is no central oxygen supply system was so patients that require a ventilator that require oxygen supply then depend on these oxy the oxygen cylinders which are provided and which are placed next to the patients beds and i spoke to one doctor who works in this hospital and he mentioned that because of the lack of Staff Members to care for the patients what ends up happening is that the relatives of patients often end up handling these oxygen cylinders and he believes that. Any kind of mishandling may have caused this explosion now Prime Minister mr card to me has promised an investigation into the incident but of course that is not enough for many iraqis they often hear the government promising investigations but we really really see the results or government officials responsible for what appears to be they collected mismanagement being brought to account.

The pandemic has hit Indigenous People across latin america disproportionately hard since they often live in remote communities with limited access to Adequate Health facilities. You know they rely on medics like anselm but hes often met with distrust and suspicion so he can persuade to accept the vaccine.

U. S. President joe biden has formally recognized the 915 mass killings of armenians in the crumbling Ottoman Empire as an act of genocide in a written statement the us president said we remember the lives of all those who died in the ottoman era Armenian Genocide and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring he added we do this not to cast blame but to ensure that what happened is never repeated. Turkeys rejecting the statement summoned the u. S. Ambassador in ankara in protest foreign minister. Said words cannot change or rewrite history we have nothing to learn from anybody on our own past political opportunism is the greatest betrayal to peace and justice we entirely reject this statement based soley on populism for armenians though its a watershed moment at home and among the extensive diaspora worldwide president bidens announcement coinciding with the 106th anniversary of the mass killings armenian Prime Minister nicola question yan says its a powerful step towards justice more action shortly after this report from a hashem at a bar which contains images some may find disturbing. Its a story more than 100 years old for turkey its a chapter thats turned but for the United States and other members of the International Community turkey must apologize for the events that started in 1915 that was when Ottoman Turks deported hundreds of thousands of armenians from eastern and atoll year to the Syrian Desert but what happened and how many were then killed remains disputed many historians say more than a 1000000 armenians lost their lives turkish officials deny any systematic killings took place saying it was a time of war and the death toll has been exaggerated turkey has always been angered by government describing the event that began in 1915 during the Ottoman Empire as a genocide. The Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day that takes place in armenia and is observed by many armenians abroad on april 24th every year is why this scene in turkey as a western propaganda aimed at a time machine the countrys reputation was very strong objections to the use of the word genocide those see it as being linked to the holocaust you know these are 2 separate atrocities 30 years apart so thats not really the case they also worry about some kind of legal claims against them but again these are tragic events that occurred more than 100 years ago so thats very likely the announcement by biden comes at a delicate moment in u. S. Turkish relations ties between the 2 nato allies have been strained for years in 2020 the Trump Administration imposed sanctions against turkey over its birth chase of russian Weapons Systems but try and turkeys president russia they have. Managed to prevent an escalation and described the relationship as friendly but when biden was elected president turkish officials expressed concerns that might get worse during the u. S. President ial Election Campaign last year when biden was democratic candidate he described as an autocrat and over the last few months the Biden Administration has pressed to improve its record in human rights with bidens latest move the u. S. Joins dozens of countries that have declared the atrocities against armenians more than a century ago an act of genocide has some of our aljazeera.

Has been more tension between russia and ukraine this time see russia has closed all naval access to the kurds strait ukraine says its illegal and violates a treaty moscow says its forces are conducting military drills it follows the mobilization of tens of thousands of Russian Troops on the Ukraine Border in recent weeks Bernard Smith reports from crimea. On the way out of crimea but very much still in charge russias land sea and air forces are heading back to their bases after 2 weeks of exercises along the border with ukraine and in the black sea it was a mobilization big enough to worry nato with at least 100000 russian soldiers estimated to have been involved but russia is keeping up the pressure on its neighbor by closing the curch straight to the Ukrainian Navy this links the black sea to the sea of as off and ukraines eastern ports russias main motive is to demonstrate that it controls crimea because russia has recognized gray mirs part of russia for the reason to control d this equitorial around here on the peninsula and closing down the strait it you must raise who is in this part all the blacks. And in the city the bridge over the strait was built by russia in the years after its 2014 occupation of crimea it creates a permanent link to the russian mainland theres a treaty between russia and ukraine agreeing equal access to the as ive seen but russia says it can close the strait the military exercises and these will last until the end of october theres not much ukraine can do unless it wants to take on russias navy burn its main aljazeera crimea or channel stratford is that the port of mariupol with the ukrainian perspective well the ukrainians as you can imagine a very angry about this they called it a gross violation of the right to freedom of navigation and a violation of the Un Convention of the law of the sea they see it as being a provocation by russia only adding to the kind of tension that weve orders and around crimea this will to the eyes of see in the strait is supposed to be under joint jurisdiction when the russians and ukrainians according to a 2003 agreement now cover days ago we were out with the marriott pulled maritime to work with the Ukrainian Navy and they were saying that that agreement was signed in 2003 and hes now almost redundant because of course weve had a conflict that started in 2014 and russia annexed crimea so the ukrainians are feeling weak and powerless if you like to act and thats despite obviously Great International support in rhetoric at least calling for the russians to to maintain freedom of navigation in these very strategically important waters for both countries.
