BBC from Northern Ireland BBC from Northern Ireland BBC

A Russian super airplane bringing medical drugs and devices to India hit by the third Corona wave. The BBC reports from Northern Ireland:  

More aid is coming from Germany and other Western countries. The daily infections rate mounted to about 400.000. Oxygen for treatment and human resources are lacking. One of the hotspots is the state of Maharashtra with the megacity of Mumbai (Bombay) in the West. How is the famous charity ADAPT (formerly Spastic Society of India) providing physical and psychological treatment for handicapped children (mostly from its shanty-town Dharavi)? I am in contact with its staff:

"Hope you and the other people of ADAPT are safe. Please let me know how you are protecting the handicapped children in Dharavi. How is vaccination going on in Mumbai?

Best wishes from Ekkehard"

Answer from Varsha, deputy of Dr Mithu Alur, the charity's founder, on 07/05/2021: 

Hi. We are all safe, thank you. Dr. Alur had started tele therapy and online teaching immediately so we are in touch with the children and young adults. Some have returned to their villages of course.... They've started vaccinating you above 18 now... Most of us have taken the first dose of the vaccine. Waiting for enough vaccines to be available for the second shot. Hope you and Helen are well... And have taken both the shots. Regards".

    Incredible pilot's-eye view pictures show what it is like to
    fly in the Red Arrows.

    The photos where taken from the cockpit of the iconic jets as the squadron trained over the skies
    of East Yorkshire.

    Team photographer SAC Hannah Beevers captured images from the backseat of Red
    10's jet - showing her comrades flying in formation.

    The shots show the Squadron flying over York Minster, the Humber Bridge and Humberside Airport before heading back to their base
    at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.

    The Squadron is renowned for daring displays and brought the whole formation together for the first time this season just three weeks ago.



    The Red Arrows begin training for the forthcoming season almost as soon as the
    previous year has ended.

    Preparation starts with small groups of three or four aircraft formations and
    the formations grow in aircraft number as training progresses.
