Tactics and defiance in the face of a pandemic of voters in madrid ushering in a rebel in regional elections. India has just reported another Record Number of coronavirus deaths with almost 3800 in the past 24 hours the opposition is calling on prime Minister Narendra Modi to impose a national lockdown the official count of infection since the start of the pandemics of past 20000000 the government says cases are beginning to go down but fewer tests are being done as bring in elizabeth our correspondent in New Delhi so liz more high numbers and continued Oxygen Sausages all over the country. Absolutely folly what those really high numbers mean more than 300000 cases and even. Sections every day for 2 weeks there is even greater pressure on the Health Care System the latest warning reports are from the southern city of bengal to a hospital say theyre running out of oxygen theyre asking patients to make other arrangements but the problem is that there are no more intensive Care Unit beds left and then the new despise it like in delhi being one of indias wealthiest cities known for its medical tourism they lose in the state of karnataka where 24 patients died on monday after their oxygen ran out now a politician in the state of karnataka has written to prime Minister Modi the former leader of the state in fact and asked him to do something to prevent a tragedy the government is coming under a lot of pressure a lot of pleas a lot of criticism the delhi high court has the natives to tell the central government that its behaving like its living in an Ivory Tower while people die from a lack of oxygen the governments reply to that was lets Leave Emotion outside the court to which the judges said that people dying from a lack of oxygen or people dying is an emotional matter and the government as you see increasingly criticised for all of these feelings a lack of oxygen and so on and its under pressure from the opposition and from various parties to impose a national down is it likely to do so. Its really resisting that call the last time we heard from prime minister that in the morning about the possibility of a national lockdown was about 2 weeks ago and he said that it would be the absolute last resort he hasnt said anything about it since and yes the main Opposition Congress Party is the latest to say that a nationwide lockdown is the only way to stop the spread of the virus and that the government is now responsible for the deaths of many innocent people the supreme court on monday the highest court in the country told the government to consider imposing a nationwide lockdown but not before making the arrangements for indias hundreds of millions of daily wage earners who have to work every day to survive and for whom the nationwide lock down last year was an absolute disaster many large businesses have said they support a lock down because saving lives is more important than the economy right now that these large businesses can support their employees working from home most indians Cant Work from home and while states have imposed regional lock downs over the past month the economic impact of that has been that 7000000 people lost their lives lost their jobs rather over the past month the Unemployment Rate went up from 6. 5 in march to nearly 8 percent in april and that is why the government is reluctant to impose this nationwide Lockdown Liz what about the Vaccination Campaign where where do things stand as far as that. Its not going well at all the number of vaccinations theres a shortage of vaccines just like theres a shortage of everything from hospital beds and oxygen and medicines and equipment the number of vaccinations have gone down 27 percent in the past week from about 2600000 a day to just 1900000 now and that happened at the same time that the government expanded the Vaccination Program to include all adults over the age of 18 but there arent enough doses and states have been left to procure their own vaccines now international aid as arriving in india from a number of countries including the u. S. President Joe Biden said that theyre going to send 10 percent of all of their vaccines to other countries including india also the rule materials needed to manufacture vaccines but what he also said very importantly is that they still havent made a decision on removing the peytons the intellectual property rights for vaccines so that india and other countries can make vaccines at a much cheaper price which India And South africa have been lobbying the World Trade Organization to do to remove these peytons to make vaccines more acts accessible to poor countries visit from him thank you very much for that is in other World News in the u. S. Former Minneapolis PoliceOfficer Derek Chauvin is asking for a new trial citing multiple grounds including Jury Misconduct last Month Chauvin was convicted of 2nd and 3rd Degree Murder as well as manslaughter for the killing of George Floyd the white Police Officer was filmed kneeling on the unarmed black Mans Neck for more than 9 minutes during an arrest last me george Floyds Death led to huge protests around the world Mike Hanna is in washington he says multiple grounds have been cited in the appeal. This motion was not at all an expected in fact it had been predicted that there would be an attempt by the defense to declare a mistrial in this particular case and the 4 Page Protest from the Defense Team basically hones in on 3 important issues one it criticizes the judge for failing to change the venue of the trial saying that it led to a tainted Jury Pool secondly it complains about the public around the case and thirdly in the main points that the defense makes the judge fail to sequester the jury for the entirety of the trial making them open to public comment or public issues on the better that they were adjudicating on so those are the main points that are brought up in the. Proclamation made to the District Court of minneapolis the defense also contends that there was Jury Misconduct in that the jury felt intimidated says the complaint it also maintains that the jury did not fully consider the instructions given to it by the judge in terms of defining between the 3 various charges that were laid against eric show been but at the same time the complaint alleges that the judge himself did not correctly brief the jury in terms of the procedures and in terms of the specific charges that were brought before the court so it is a multiple series of complaints which has now been submitted to the minneapolis District Court its now up to the court to decide where to go from here Mary Moriarty is a former public defender in minneapolis she has more on what the appeal means. Almost all of the grounds have already been raised throughout the trial some multiple times and so there really isnt a lot new there one thing that is new is they are alleging Juror Misconduct and that is very vague in fact the defense asked the judge for more time to develop the points that theyve made here because some of them are so vague theyre hard to know what their the civically referring to but one of the reasons are bringing up misconduct is because one of the jurors has been giving interviews publicly and had talked about going he actually having talked about that did participate in a march in washington d. C. In august and when he was asked on the questionnaire whether he had participated specifically in any protests over Police Brutality he said no so that may be one of the grounds although i dont think that has any merit either but this is a standard motion that defense lawyers would typically make after a conviction at trial.

Israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has run out of time to form a new government putting his political future in question has been meeting Opposition Party leaders in an attempt to secure enough votes to form a coalition present all the rivlin will now decide what to do next israel has gone through 4 inconclusive elections in the past 2 Years Foster has more from west to slim. Benjamin netanyahu has spent the last few hours of his mandate the period during which hes officially entitled to try to form a Coalition Government by making increasingly urgent you might say desperate appeals to fellow right Wing Party LeaderNaftali Bennett to rule out joining a socalled Change Bloc in the israeli parliament the knesset that wants to see an alternative government not featuring Benjamin Netanyahu and commit himself to forming a right Wing Coalition then you know has already offered bennett the opportunity to go 1st in a rotational prime Minister Arrangement if he agreed to such a deal however even if that happened there are real doubts that the 2 men could form a coalition featuring the 61. 00 knesset seats required for it to be a functioning stable government equally there are doubts that if bennett joined the Change Bloc there would be enough seats on that side either so now the next public decision belongs to the president of Israel Riven Rivlin he has 3 days to decide whether to give the next mandate to who is the Opposition Leader and has the next highest number of seats in the knesset after netanyahu or give it to bennett or simply decide to throw it open to the knesset more generally that would mean a 3 Week Deadline to form a Coalition Government and if none resulted from that it would trigger an automatic 5th election all of this leaves that you know in the most endangered position hes been since the start of this 4 election 2 year political crisis however he is far from out of it even without the mandate he could try to maneuver behind the scenes to try to get a Coalition Government that favored him he could try to obstruct anyone else from forming one potentially blaming them for leading israel to a 5th election and even if he were forced out and into opposition theres no guarantee that a government that would have to be made a very disparate elements would survive all that long so there would still be the prospect of another netanyahu come back.
