muslim band whether it's through immigrant work visas and now immigrant her student visas the immigrants the nonet into student visas but essentially they he wants to keep most of these students out because it's no coincidence that 33 percent almost 34 percent now the 1100000 nationals whose are from china 18 percent are from india 5 percent from saudi arabia another 5 percent from south korea and then the rest are from various countries again most of which are from the east the middle east or the or latin america and central america so i think the best means to challenge this is going to come from the american association of educators which is effectively the association of all the universities because they are the biggest losers financially while the students are the biggest losers both financially educationally and and personally so i anticipate that there's going to be a major pushback on this and it will be interesting to see how the congress is get

a lifeline but cope it has changed how many people can be squeezed into often quite cramped spaces and that has huge and perhaps long term implications for places that rely on crowds most theatres have to fill at least 2 thirds of their seats just to stay afloat but in a socially distance world they may have to keep 2 thirds of their seats empty to operate safely so despite this government lifeline big questions remain about the future of the industry or italians al-jazeera london. they're watching all jazeera of me still rob a reminder of our top stories the u.k. has announced economic sanctions on those involved in the murder of saudi journalist to mark 49 individuals and organizations have been targeted and the government's new system to punish human rights offenders those are blood on the
