Club into court. Hello and welcome. India has now registered four million cases of coronavirus. The country is currently recording almost 82,000 new cases per day thats a five day rolling average compared with nearly a4,000 in brazil and just under 40,000 in the united states. But while indias struggle with the pandemic continues, it could also be part of the solution, as our correspondent Yogita Limaye reports from mumbai. Another day on the covid frontline with no end in sight. Dr sumit ray, who sent us this video, has been treating critical patients for months now. Hes had to tell dozens of families their loved ones have died. Exhaustion is beginning to wear indias doctors down. A few weeks ago, it had seemed as though the capital was coping with the pandemic but once again now, resources are falling short. Now we are seeing a second surge which is notjust in delhi, but from smaller towns around delhi. Those we are not able to provide the life support systems will die. If we have to, if we reach a point like that that is what worries me, that is what distresses all of us as doctors. This 42 year old succumbed to covid earlier this week. He died in pune, a relatively smaller city which is now the worst affected in india. His family says theres a shortage of facilities. If an ambulance had been available to take him to a Critical Care hospital, my brother would have been alive, his sister says. Indias doing more than a million tests a day but thats not been enough to curb the spread. Another lockdown is not an option for an economy already in turmoil. The government has been highlighting that the number of deaths in india, compared to the size of its population, is lower than other countries badly hit. So far, there are only speculative theories about why that might be the case, and the thing is, even at a low death rate, if the virus continues to spread, that still means hundreds of thousands of indian lives are at risk. And so, all eyes are on a vaccine, and india could be a big part of the global solution. This is a factory of the worlds biggest vaccine maker. Including 0xford astrazenecas covishield, its already producing tens of millions of doses of five covid vaccines each month. 70 of the worlds vaccine capacity is from india. I asked the companys chief executive Adar Poonawalla when a vaccine might be ready. It takes 3 5 years normally to make a vaccine, and were all rushing it. Well, i think in about 2. 5 3 months, there will be vaccines licensed. Will they be the best vaccines . I dont know. Even if the vaccine is a success, inoculating more than a billion people will need a lot of time and money. Yogita limaye, bbc news, mumbai. Lets get some of the days other coronavirus news. Borisjohnson has insisted that the uk is, for the most part, proceeding as one on Coronavirus Travel restrictions, despite the home nations imposing different rules on people returning from portugal and parts of greece. Wales and scotland have asked arrivals to isolate for 14 days, england and Northern Ireland have not. New zealand says a man infected with covid i9 has died the first such death in the country since may.

Rescuers in beirut have been digging through the rubble of last months massive explosion after a scanner suggested someone could still be alive in the wreckage. One month ago, a fire in a warehouse led to a devastating blast which killed nearly 200 people and left tens of thousands more without homes. 0ur correspondent 0rla guerin has sent this report from beirut. Probing for signs of life, deep in the rubble. Hidden from view, sensitive scanning equipment in the hands of a Specialist Rescue Team from chile. On thursday morning, they picked up what seemed to be breath sounds and for two days, they have been searching. Painstaking work, much of it done by hand, clawing away at a ruin that could collapse any second. The dust and debris being sucked out to clear a pathway to the second floor, the focus of the search. The work is continuing here hour after hour. They are trying to lift away the rubble with extreme care and they are still trying to work their way down through about five layers of concrete. Some local people have been here right through the night, unwilling to leave, hoping that today of all days, a survivor might be found. The lebanese film maker Nadine Labaki was one of them. She could not tear herself away. You want to believe ina miracle. Ijust wanted to come it was an instinctive reaction to just come and see and hope. Because this i think we are all holding onto this small ray of light after everything that has happened to us. This was the signal to call for complete silence, so rescuers could scan again for signs of life. But late this afternoon, they could no longer detect any breathing. Hopes of a miracle were fading as lebanon approached 1806 local time, the moment of the blast one month ago. Bells toll. Church bells tolled near beirut port to honour the dead. Some stood in silence, remembering lost friends and colleagues. 0thers stood with ropes in their hands, a noose for the entire Political Leadership here. 0rla guerin, bbc news, beirut. The former australian Prime Minister tony abbott has been appointed as an unpaid trade adviser to the uk government. It comes after days of pressure to rethink the plan over allegations of misogyny and homophobia. 0ur Political Correspondent ben wright has more. Tony abbott recently flew into the uk to meet ministers and face flak about his possible appointment as a trade adviser here. But today, Boris Johnson trumpeted mr abbotts credentials. This is a guy who was elected by the people of the great liberal democratic nation of australia and youve been to australia its an amazing country, its a freedom loving country, its a liberal country. Um. There you go. I think i think i think that speaks for itself. Yes, ive had some discussions with members of the british government. The confirmation of mr abbotts appointment as an unpaid trade adviser comes after he was given a rough ride by a committee of mps earlier this week. In 2012, you said that men are by physiology or temperament more adapted than women to exercise authority or to issue command. Look, im not sure that i ever did say that. Tony abbott is from the right of australias raucous politics. Ditch the witch a Climate Change sceptic who spoke at this rally, mr abbott incurred the wrath of his political opponents for his reported views of women. He wants to know what misogyny looks like in modern australia. He doesnt need a motion in the house of representatives, he needs a mirror. And here, it is not only labour mps who have spoken out against tony abbott. He is a misogynist, he has very poor views on lgbtq rights, and i just dont think this is a man who should be anywhere near our board of trade. But now, he will be on the advisory group. This brexit focused government deciding that mr abbotts experience cutting trade deals for australia trumps complaints about the mans character. Ben wright, bbc news, westminster. President trump has spoken for the First Time Since the hospitalisation of russias leading opposition figure, alexei navalny. German experts say the kremlin critic, whos in a coma, was poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent. Mr trump said he would look into what had happened to mr navalny, before suggesting that reporters should focus their criticism on china. So, i dont know exactly what happened. I think its tragic, its terrible, it shouldnt happen. We havent had any proof yet but i will take a look. It is interesting that everybodys always mentioning russia, and i dont mind you mentioning russia, but i think probably china at this point is a nation that you should be talking about much more so than russia, because the things that chinas doing are far worse. If you take a look at whats happening with the world, look at what happened with the china virus. Look at what they did by not keeping that within the confines of china. They shouldve kept it in the confines of china. Look what theyve done to 188 countries all over the world. Stay with us on bbc news. Still to come we talk to jazz legend Wynton Marsalis about his new album and his collaborative song created on mobile phones during lockdown. She received the Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the poor and the dying in indias slums. The head of the Catholic Church said Mother Teresa was a wonderful example of how to help people in need.

An Early Morning car crash in a paris underpass ended a life with more than its share of pain and courage, warmth and compassion. This is bbc world news. The latest headlines india has now registered four million coronavirus cases, with record levels of infections being broken almost every day. Experts are warning the pandemic in the country could spin out of control. A minutes silence in beirut for the victims of the massive explosion as rescuers search the rubble for a possible survivor, one month after the blast. Its the news that barcelona fans had been praying for 10 days. Its the news that barcelona fans had been praying for. 10 days after saying he wanted to leave the club, lionel messi says hes now staying. Arguably the worlds greatest ever footballer, he told the website goal. Com no one could pay the 700 million euro release clause in his contract and he didnt want to take the club he loves to court. For more, i spoke with our reporter paul hawkins, and asked him why messi really doesnt seem that happy. Well, you wouldnt be, would you. If youve got to the boss and saidi you. If youve got to the boss and said i think is about time and said i think is about time and italy, things are happening for me anymore, the boss says you can leave, and then he turns around when you put in your transfer request and said, well, someone is going to have to cough up 700 Million Euros, you are going to understand why there will be some trust issues there will be some trust issues there are no you are stuck there are no you are stuck there for a year you didnt wa nt to there for a year you didnt want to be at, with a president of the league that you dont get on with. How does he motivate messi, who clearly looks like he still doesnt wa nt to looks like he still doesnt want to be there . If you are ronald kerman, you say that even though we won absolutely nothing, im gonna turn things around, make it a centrepiece, you are going to end your lettering career here, and go to strengthening defence, midfield, we are a team thats going places and we can make that transition quick enough so that transition quick enough so that the end of your career is as bright as the rest of it, thatis as bright as the rest of it, that is what Ronald Koeman it gonna be wanting to do. And he has to redo the teams. When they were thrashed by munich in they were thrashed by munich in the Champions League they fielded their oldest average size, the average age is 29 which is quite old for football, and replacements need to come in stop with a lot of Young Players coming through but they need some senior players, they need to buy senior players to give the side that kind of confidence when things arent going for it. Can we pick up our debate that we got cut short lost our stopper use it is the greatest footballer in history. And i noticed you mentioned arguably. Twice when you were reading the introduction. Some people are going to say cristiana rinaldo and you would say maradona. Yes, maradona 86 has been the greatest season and any footballers history ever. But that would make me the masochist. Messi consistently for the last ten years and he holds all the records now. Has never won the world cup but he holds all the records and he yearin holds all the records and he year in and year out. Last year he finished as top scorer in the Spanish League and that was one of his worst seasons. What happens at the end of this season . He gets through, presumably does 0k even if he feels a bit awkward, can all those clubs that wanted him this year pounds next year Lake Manchester 30 . Absolutely, and they wont have to pay 700 Million Euros. The only but that might be difficult for him as his wages stopper his paid i Million Euros a week. A week . a week, at barcelona. So it will be huge wage demands and will be huge wage demands and will still be able to do it, his 33, 34, will still be able to do it, his 33, 3a, but probably what you make in a business deal even just you make in a business deal evenjust image you make in a business deal even just image rights, you make in a business deal evenjust image rights, having the kind of play at your club, you would easily recoup that. During this current pandemic, artists have been thinking creatively of how best to make sense of these extraordinary times. Jazz legend Wynton Marsalis has used the lockdown restrictions to join up dozens of musicians from their sitting rooms to help reimagine one of the songs from his new album. Marsalis is a multi grammy winning musician and his blood on the fields was the first jazz composition to win the Pulitzer Prize for music. He is the only musician to win a grammy award injazz and classical during the same year. Upbeat jazz music plays i said, everybody wear that mask. Boy, you gotta wear that mask. I said, everybody wear that mask. Boy, you gotta wear that mask. I said, everybody where that mask. Boy, youve got to wear that mask i said, everybody wear that mask. Well earlier i asked Wynton Marsalis to explain the back story and making of the video. That song is part of a larger piece called the ever funky lowdown, and everybody wear that mask, the piece was actually written in 2018 and everybody wear they mask is actually something that goes with one of the prizes in the game called the ever funky lowdown. So you prophesied the future, you wrote a song about masks before you knew what was going to happen this year . Well, in the piece, the mask is a mask of surveillance so we just repurposed it to fit this time. And it came out well with those people, what do you think . Yeah, the orchestra members are fantastic, and it was members of our staff, jazz at lincoln center, everybody at home, dancing and stuff, a great way for us to stay together. Well, we were almost dancing in the studio. How do you make music . I know you did a lot of this beforehand but how do you do this in a lockdown or a pandemic year . Well, we communicate with each other and we record pieces, we start with the rhythm section, the bass, drums and piano, and they record a track, and the rest of us play our parts with a large orchestra. We have a meeting, and we go through the lead parts and then record everything. Is there any benefit to the circumstances of this year for someone who is a composer . You must have had more time trapped at home, trapped next to the piano, presumably, when other years you might have been driving around the country. For me, no, because im trying to help our organisation survive, jazz at Lincoln Centre were called, in new york city, and for arts organisations and musicians, were not playing, but in the case of our organisation, weve lost the ability to make any money, any revenue, and we still have a lot of expenses, so were all killing ourselves to stay alive. Youve written in the past about jazz. Jazz, you said, is all about listening. Do people listen this year, in general, in society . No, man. Were not listening. Were too busy hating each other from different perspectives. Listening takes a lot of patience, a desire to understand a person perceived to be another. It requires the willingness to develop a greater acuity. There has to be the thought that you could perhaps be incorrect, and that there could be something to learn from listening to another person, and the desire of being part of an us instead of me versus you. What can jazz teach us about the world . Well, the music has three fundamentals. One is improvisation, which is about developing a love yourself and understanding of yourself. And swing, which is about nurturing the common space, and understanding how to make adjustments and Little Things that are required to balance. We all have to find balance in our lives, and our lives with others. And the third is the blues, which gives us an optimism thats not naive. It allows us to face a tragic circumstance with will, and a belief that we will overcome. Are you an optimist . Yeah, jazz, you know . I mean, thats what our music is about. If we werent optimistic, we wouldnt play the music. Wed be much more commercial. Where does the inspiration come from when you sit down and write . I mean, i write music everywhere, but it comes from people, from life experiences. My father was a musician. I am from new orleans and people and musicians all over the world. They are deeply human thing
