Testing crowd safety. And quack ing the puzzle of how to safely remove this family of ducks from a ninth floor balcony. Hello, and welcome if youre watching in the uk or Around The World. Indias Coronavirus Pandemic continues to worsen by the day and now it has hit a grim new milestone. The country has become the first in the world to record more than 400,000 Coronavirus Infections in a single day. The news comes as the countrys hospitals continue to struggle with acute shortages of oxygen and beds. Vaccination of all adults has now begun although theres a desperate lack of supplies. In a controversial move, australia has banned its own citizens from returning from india due to the severity of the outbreak and says it willjail anyone who tries to come home. Mark lobel has this report. Grasping valuable oxygen, Receiving Care in a car. Others still urgently seeking it. Translation we are waiting here in the hope that they willi help us a bit. And in the meantime, we are trying to organise oxygen from another source. As the now all too familiar queues for oxygen continue. It is notjust Oxygen Wood is in short supply too, with so many cremations like this taking place. Translation because the government has given up, everything now depends on god. Many are pinning their hopes on vaccines, too. The worlds largest Vaccination Drive here has so far led to 150 millionjabs. All adults over the age of 18 are now eligible to receive one. But a number of key states say that is not yet possible because of a shortage of doses. To stop the virus spreading elsewhere, australia has temporarily made it illegal for its citizens to return home from india. And this from america. We have announced that theres going to be a Travel Restriction starting on tuesday. But some flights will take on extra importance. Were going to be sending a plane with supplies that will include oxygen, and with an expectation that that will provide some of relief. But even if cases are now successfully contained, its predicted theres still a tough month ahead. The daily Case Count is likely to peak around mid may and the daily Death Count will possibly peak about two weeks later, towards the end of may. Indias battle with this pandemic remains on many fronts. Mark lobel, bbc news. 0ur Correspondent in delhi, devina gupta, says that even though the official number of daily cases has reached a new record the realfigure is likely to be much higher. There is undercounting that Weve Seenin there is undercounting that weve seen in hot towels where the data is not matching. 0ver seen in hot towels where the data is not matching. Over 20 times of this number, people could be infected and thatis number, people could be infected and that is what we could see hospitals that is what we could see hospitals that are running out of beds, oxygen and Essential Medicines despite the global aid that is coming in. What is also worrying is that experts are now seeing the younger population being affected so those below the age 14 years are also coming to this succumbing to this infection and many families are facing anxiety and looking at gas resources as the days progress. Health experts have told me this is just the start of the wave that will take at least 2 3 week and the situation could worsen before we see this wave of abating But for now, india has also opened vaccinations for people above the age of 18 years of age from today and as you rightly pointed out, there is a Vaccine Shortage as well in that court. Weve seen 600 Million people added to this Vaccination ProgrammeBut in the eye which is the largest of Vaccine Manufacturer only produces 18 Million doses every month and experts are saying this will lead to shortage of vaccines. 0nly experts are saying this will lead to shortage of vaccines. Only 60 today will take the drive to inoculate people above the age of 18 years because the rest have preserved the running right even for those who have taken the first dose. As we heard, australia has made it temporarily illegal for its citizens to return home from india, to protect itself from a surge in coronavirus cases. From monday, anyone who has been to india in the past two weeks cannot come home and if they break the new law they face up to five years in prison. Earlier i spoke to lawyer and human Rights Activist ta rung Chow Laa in the australian city of melbourne. He says families are desperate to get Loved Ones home. Ethical or legal, there is a lot of concern here and abroad about those 9000 displaced australian citizens stranded or as they are being called on twitter and Social Media and they want nothing more than to be able to return home. There is a perception that there is one rule for people of colour and another for people from predominantly white nations. I wrote on Social Media on my twitter last night that i felt quite numb, i got past the point of feeling angry to a sense of Disappointment And Numbness that Australian Government was actively considering this. If we look at the statistics, there were around 36,000 currently stranded australians globally of which one quarter, 9000 are in india so the numbers are not that staggering. Its more about whether or not australias Hotel Warranting System can keep up and that is the real crux of the issue that the strong government is grappling with and had we been more bed here in australia, with dna better position to help our neighbours and to help the australian people who are stranded. Care home residents in england are to be allowed to go out for walks, or visit the gardens of friends and relatives from tuesday, without having to self isolate for two weeks on their return. The government says its updated its guidance in light of the success of the Vaccination Programme, and falling Cora Navirus Infection rates. Campaigners had threatened legal action, arguing that residents� Human Rights were being breached. Heres our social Affairs Correspondent alison holt. Care homes have felt the full force of covid 19, But now, with most residents vaccinated and infections falling in the community, theres been increasing anger over government restrictions families call barbaric. If residents leave a Care Home, even if its just for a walk, theyre expected to self isolate for 1h days when they return. The government says that will now change, to the relief of campaigners. I think this guidance was always so bizarre, so cruel and so discriminatory. I mean, it was illegally imprisoning people in Care Homes. It was depriving them of their liberty, doing incalculable harm. From next tuesday, official guidance will say residents who leave a Care Home for low risk visits will not have to self isolate on return. They can visit a relatives garden, parks or outdoor public spaces, and they can go indoors to vote. They will need to be accompanied by a nominated Visitor Or Care worker. But residents who leave the home for such things as medical appointments will still have to self isolate upon return. Guidance in scotland, wales and Northern Ireland say that visits out should be assessed according to the local situation. Alison holt, bbc news.

Well a little earlier on our correspondent simonjones sent us this update from aylesham in kent. Julia james� family has thanked everyone who has come here. They say there has been a real outpouring of love from friends, local community and the people she worked with. When you read the statement issued by the family, you get a real sense of the loss they are feeling, talking about a void in their life, saying they miss her every moment of every day and also talking about her having a Beaut Smile and a brilliant sense of humour. The family also say they believe police are doing everything in their power to find her killer. 0fficers in their power to find her killer. Officers say they have no clear motive for the attack and no clear suspect any richer. This is going to be worrying for local people here. I spent a lot of time here over the past few days and people have telling us it� s a Loose Knit Community and people know and support each other But are asking if it is safe for them to go out and walk their dog. Julia james was attacked while doing that on Tuesday Afternoon and the message from police is that people should go about their normal life, shouldn� t feel the Need Stay indoors But should be vigilant and report anything suspicious or unusual to the police.

Scientists investigating the Plastic Waste drifting in the world� s oceans say they� ve discovered more about where it comes from. They� ve calculated that A Thousand rivers are responsible for the vast majority of the pollution. Here� s our Science Editor David shukman. The shocking sight of Plastic Waste polluting the oceans. It� s one of the most visible ways that Human Activity is damaging the natural world. But where did it all come from . Well, most of it is carried by rivers from cities to the sea. I saw this for myself in indonesia a few years ago, the waterways were choked with plastic. It used to be thought that only the ten biggest rivers in the world were to blame But now a study finds that many more are involved, at least 1000 according to an organisation that is trying to tackle the problem, the ocean clean up. On one hand, chose that it is much more vast than we used to think, it is not ten rivers, it is 1000, But on the other hand, it is just 1 of all the rivers in the world so i do think it is a manageable problem. The ocean clean up and started to collect waste from several rivers to catch it before it gets to the sea and the hope is to have many more systems like this. It has also been deploying a giant Collection Device in the Pacific OceanBut the challenge is huge, turning this Plastic Tide will take a massive effort. After contracting covid 19, Clare Trueman spent more than a month in intensive care, six days in a coma and at one point she was given just two days to live.

There may be a few sore heads in liverpool this morning after the city hosted the uk� s first legal Club Night since the pandemic began. 3,000 people met up in a warehouse near the City Centre with no facemasks or social distancing required. It was being held as a Trial Event to test the government� s plans for easing pandemic restrictions. Dan johnson reports. Dance music. This is a release from lockdown, and a relief for an industry that has been silenced for over a year. No masks, no distance, no vaccine passports. This is the power of music to unite people for one weekend, and they� re making the most of it. It� s been a nice change, yeah. Could get used to it. It� s been brilliant, yeah, 100 . Honestly, it� s been such a nice change. Because you� ve been on your own for, like, the last two years. And it� s been really nice, in a safe way. Because everyone has been tested, so it� s been brilliant. We had to go through four different checkpoints to get in. It was a lot. You had to confirm that you had an lft, you had to confirm that you were in liverpool, you had Drug Dogs sniff you, there was a lot of steps before you got anywhere close to it. They weren� t sparing the decibels, after djs spent such a long time stuck at home, like so many in the live events business. Dance music. This is for the covid generation. You know, there� s something that happens when you� re together, all experiencing the same thing at the same time. You feel connected to people and that� s what this is about, so, yeah everybody here was tested before the event and they will be tested again in the next five days. 0rganise say it� s safer here than the supermarket and the music� s much better. Everybody was really relaxed and into the zone, and what was interesting, seeing the crowd from the dj booth� s point of view, only seeing one person out of everybody wearing a facemask. Which was interesting in itself. People were straight into pre covid conditions, hugging, saying hello, it was nice, actually. Across the city there� s an even bigger gig tomorrow. 5000 in sefton park, also being monitored to see how they interact and how Ventilation And Air flow can restrict the spread of the virus. This research is really important for creating a Safety Blueprint for opening events. How do the local Public Health teams work with the organisers to adapt to changing circumstances . At the moment, the rates of the virus are really low in the background, so it� s a safe time to be putting this Safety Net in place. We want to know, have we got all the Communications Channels . Does the ticketing and testing work well together . Does everyone understand why they have to report symptoms and not come if they have them . This is a great time to get that blueprint right. I have trust in the science, i have trust in the tests, and i think if we have all come here negative, why would we then come up positive . We� ve shown how we can go back to this. Yeah the club scene, back again because honestly, young adults have been completely brushed under the carpet and we� ve been blamed for everything. Such a Vibe Change from the last year and a bit, where everyone has been stuck inside, to be around notjust people you know, But get to see other people. Home time for these pioneers, who are leading the way for the rest of us. Testing negative and keeping positive, that� s the vibe. Taxis and takeaways to be sorted, a little taste of freedom to treasure, and hopefully it brings us all closer together. Danjohnson, bbc news, liverpool. Now when you discover a duck and her newborn ducklings have set up home on your balcony on the ninth floor of a block of flats waddle you do . Sorry. Well, steve stuttard, who lives in salford quays, realised he had to quack the problem of how to get the ducklings safely down to the ground without ruffling their mother� s feathers. But he didn� t get into a flap he rose to the challenge, as Ian Haslam reports. This is mrs mallard, who has unwittingly become the most famous star on Social Media. Her time spent nesting on steve suttart� S Balcony has been seen by millions thanks to an accompanying Twitter Thread and video from steve� s daughter emma. Ijust read a few tweets, wrote the thread, went up and made a Cup Of Tea and came back and the ticket was going. And i was like, ok, then it went crazy. The lovely thing about this is that there are people all over the world who know how great he is now and adore him too. 0peration Mallard to begin. What are the odds of this Duck Nesting on your balcony, what with you being a Twitcher And Everything . A million to one. I can� t believe what has happened over the last 18 months now. It is unbelievable. For an ornithologist like me, twitcher, a it is the perfect scenario. As a former Royal Navy survival specialist, steve is adept at looking after people. But ducks are a different proposition. From when i wake up in the morning, i have to tiptoe around the apartment. I check if showers on the nest or not, and normally showers. Showers full of character and she looks at me sometimes as if to say, i recognise that face, But i can� t place it. Six o� clock in the morning. Also seven hatched. She� s great. Catch you later. At this point came the one part he couldn� t film. A bit with the mostjeopardy. Lowering seven ducklings150 feet down to the ground from his apartment in a bucket. Here we are, down at ground level. Chicks in a bucket. Mum is over here. I couldn� t bring them down the lift, they couldn� t hear the mother and she couldn� t hear them. But in a bucket it is like a megaphone, Itjust Amplifies the sound. They could hear her and she could hear them, so it was a win win situation. My work here is done. Except it isn� t. Now we� ve got Operation Mallard 2 we do indeed. She came back four weeks ago and started looking around my balcony, she moved to another planter which has low grasses in it and she has decided showers going to nest there. We now have 11 eggs and everything is fine and we have got about another week to go. Success, Operation Mallard, absolute success. Here� s to the next one. Ian haslam, bbc news. Tom jones has become the oldest man to top the Uk Album charts after his most recent solo went to number one. He� s beaten Bob Dylan who topped the chart last year at the Tender Age of 79, his 41st album release. You� re watching World News from the bbc. A british man, has entered the record books for becoming the first person to circumnavigate the earth on something that� s also been described as a flying motorbike an autogyro. You can see his route here, from basingstoke all the way across europe, russia and back across the top to basingstoke again. James ketchell made the journey before the first lockdown, But has now finally received the official Guinness World Record. Mike bushell went to hampshire to meet him. First seen in a James Bond Film in the 1960s, this is an autogyro, and the 1960s, this is an autogyro, and the 20 century one took another james Around The World. It took him 175 successive days, flying for hours on end. And not on a plane with wings, it� s not a helicopter either because the power doesn� t come from the bigger rotor on top But instead the Propeller And Engine at the back like a flying motorbike he says and just like on a bike, he is exposed to the elements up at 1000 or more. Across some of the above was mike most dramatic and hostile environments. Passing many famous landmarks. Sharing the wilderness with magnificent creatures. Enjoying lunch on the fly, a sandwich hear over quebec. From basingstoke to the bering straits, and then landing in every us state before crossing the top of the atlantic again before returning home. The first person ever to do it owning him a place in the Guinness World Record books. It was an amazing feeling, all very surreal that i somehow managed to get Around The World i thought to be honest i� d bitten off more than i could chew to begin with, i really did, and at times i thought, i don� t know if i can do this. When you fly this, you� re Running On Adrenaline and you can� t make a mistake, gravity will kill you.

His autogyro used to adversity. His autogyro success wasn� t his first challenge and he only learned how to fly in 2017 after previously cycling Around The World and then scaling Mount Everest and he wanted to use this journey to inspire young people across the world so he stopped off at schools like this one in siberia.

It doesn� t take long to be flying high and i did certainly feel closer to the elements But as Hell Raising as It Looks, and autogyro are surprisingly stable and agile as james was keen to prove. Ifelt surprisingly stable and agile as james was keen to prove. I felt some g forces as we twisted and turned over the field trying to understand the signs behind it all as i did my breath away.
