doses of the russian and chinese vaccines as well as british oxford astra zeneca jobs they're all out began in tripoli with plans to extend distribution across the country in the coming days the vs recording an average of 1000 infections every day . and the number of refugees allowed into the united states this year will soon be increased from its historic low president joe biden had initially agreed to limit admissions 215008 cap set by his predecessor donald trump that was criticized by democrats and refugee advocates prompting the white house to say a final increased cap would be set by mid may. how does your castro is monitoring this story from washington heidi there's been a lot of to and fro on this issue in the past 24 hours. that's right and very good explanations as well coming from the white house 1st of all this reversal came very quickly at the beginning of the day on friday here in washington the white house

had said that biden what essentially break his promise to lift the cap on emissions to refugees and keep it at the trump historically low level of $15000.00 in that unleashed. an outcry from democrats who said that that decision was shameful very quickly then the white house reversed course said that there would be more refugees admitted after all * but hasn't said exactly how many and as to why there has been a lot of criticism for the way that the white house has communicated about this 1st they said it was because it would take time to rebuild of the damage that the trouble ministration had done to the office of office of refugee resettlement which had been gutted under the previous president later though today president biden said that the situation was very much tied to what's happening at the border of the united states with mexico of course that's where we're seeing a historic wave of migrants many of them unaccompanied children trying to enter the

country from central america and it is the same office of refugee resettlement who must then process those miners and president biden earlier today said that that was a crisis on the border and that the bureaucracy of that office is strained nevertheless he says he's trying to admit more refugees into the country. thank you for that update there how does your castro in washington. well shaker is a senior us advocate at refugees international she joins us also from washington d.c. by skype thank you for your time. first off i'd just like to get your thoughts all new president biden's promise that he will actually increase the refugee cap but just not right now it's quite disappointing and a little bit confusing. as the previous reporter mentioned the president

promised in february and consulted with congress about essentially tripling the number are 286-2500 refugees for this fiscal year and then sort of backtrack there's also a long delay if this was what the president was planning on doing it's not clear why he delayed so long and lights were the lights people had refused to get off flights because of the delay in mentioning this so it's a bit confusing obviously groups like mine refugees international is going to try to keep 'd the president to his promise to raise that cap come a what is the backlog right now how many people are waiting to to come having already been vetted and cleared. well over 15000 so there are several 100 people ready to fly tomorrow but there are at least 30000 people ready you know vetted by us c.i.s.

. the part of the department of homeland security that. ensures and vets are refugees overseas and then there are almost 70000 refugees in the pipeline at different stages so there are way over 15000 ready to go and so we hope is that the biden mr ation really quickly hits this 15000 cap you know we're good but hopefully by may and then right why do you think that he's not increasing the cab ride away i mean do you think it might be time to what's happening at the us mexico border with asylum seekers and the optics i guess. i do think it has more to do with politics then capacity issues the president said you know we can't do 2 things that wind research he's the president you certainly must do a few things that one and it's also true that refugees and asylum seekers and the

children are handled differently they are the office of refugee resettlement does handle both populations but there are voluntary organisations ready to welcome refugees here as to why i mean what is really surprising to me is that the president didn't say if it was simply a capacity issue i mean maybe the president could have raised it at least a bit. and then say will will will will raise it some more later on there's something quite confusing about all of this and i think if the president really wanted to to make this happen we could be a rich country of plenty of resources if money was an issue the president could have asked could ask congress for a supplemental fund which is happened in the past to handle this so this is really something that we can do right now and we should be doing more or i will have to leave it there thank you tom shaker there from refugees international thanks so

much still ahead on al-jazeera and i get emotional to this day when i talk about it but it's in my it's in my blood i feel such a connection there. diaspora. why people from across the wilds choosing to leave europe and america in favor of paper. and why human rights campaign is in indonesia want to hit the brakes on a new multibillion dollar very strong. it's time for the perfect jenny. sponsored point at ways. we've got some rather unsettled weather making its way across japan at the moment it will brighten up as we go into the early part of next week so there is that

wetter weather and at times wintry weather over the high ground that's making its way further north woods and east with some heavy downpours flow flurries there into whole qaida further south it's fine to settle a soccer 17 celsius 17 celsius to 4 so beijing time she's here at around 24 degrees plenty of dry weather hazy sunshine temperatures not going up a touch as we go on through monday quality always an issue here of course 20 celsius that the soul as well will see highs of around 22 when tokyo by monday warm sunshine coming through some pleasant weather by this stage but we pushed further south where it is not quite as pleasant we have super typhoon making its way towards the philippines in place to say that it does not look likely to make landfall as we go on through the next couple of days winds of around 240 kilometers per hour could get up there up to 50 over the next 24 hours or so it's moving pretty quickly and it looks a lot it's just not just way further north woods as we go on through the next day

or so so will let me get close to that eastern side of the philippines should stay offshore but some very big waves that many. at ways. it's the political debate show that's challenging the way you think i want to know where you're to stand on cancer culture decreasing the range of ideas that can be heard from international politics to the global pandemic and everything in between if tech companies are the ones with all the power what do we do with the solution we get organized what are world leaders or governments missing thread talking about talking it's like trying to 14 we're trying to clean when we're talking right now up front with me marc lamont hill on al-jazeera.

you're watching are just there a reminder of our top stories this hour 3000000 people about died of course the 19 around the world though experts say the true number of deaths is likely much higher . brazil has the world's highest daily death toll at just under 3000 the health ministry is urging women to delay pregnancy if possible as it appears variants are more dangerous to expectant mothers. president joe biden is promising to raise a limit on the number of refugees about into the united states is back tracked on a decision to maintain a cap of $15000.00 per year posed by donald trump. the united nations nuclear watchdog says iran isn't reaching uranium at 60 percent purity confirming earlier statements from terrell comes as members of the 25th day nuclear deal continue efforts to revive the agreement in vienna which former u.s. president donald trump pulled out from european and russian negotiators are

positive about the progress and the head of the iranian delegation says talks are on the right track. of the financial year long since a new understanding is in the offing all sides have a commonality in the a for an object to the part that we have to pay it is now clear to us as we have said many terms are interested in protected negotiations but talks are needed to shed light on old discussions been naturally talks will continue with the talks are now at a point where all sides concede and begin troff to a joint document it can start even though it least in areas that the 2 sides of common ideas. a solid rods is a senior fellow at the national iran american council she says iran wants to return to the deal but is being consistently provoked. i think we have to separate the enrichment issue from going to go she ations issue and the reason for that is the 60 percent enrichment was a direct reaction to the attack on that sense to the nuclear facility on mountains

and so while you have the international community the p 5 plus one you have the united states and iran trying to return to the deal there are still those parties it appears to be that this is another sabotage attack by israel there are still those parties who are opposed to the deal and so they are still continuing to use methods of sabotage to undermine the deal but iran is quite serious about returning to the deal and if we do so obviously under the obligations of the deal you're on would not enrich at 60 percent it would come back down to $3.00 from the u.s. perspective it's a little bit murkier from the iranian perspective returning to compliance is fairly straightforward you know it's a matter of how much uranium they have how much at what level they can rich on the u.s. side the trump sanctions were intended to undermine biden's ability to return to the deal and this is precisely something i believe the biden ministration understands and we've seen that language from iran special envoy rob malley as well as from the state department saying that the united states understands that in

order to return to compliance the sanctions that are inconsistent with the deal would have to be lifted and so i think that's the area that you see the deputy foreign minister out actually talking about when he says you know there are still some differences but that's the idea that they're trying to work through to actually get to the place where iran is getting the economic relief that it was promised. russian opposition figure alexina valley is in the 3rd week of a hunger strike in prison and close to death that's according to his personal doctor the delhi who is president of a person's most prominent critic has been refusing food in protest against a treatment in jail his doctor is not allowed to see him after receiving test results says he could die of any moment of l. he was jailed in february for violating parole conditions as a result of traveling to germany for treatment off to being poisoned. the czech republic is expelling 18 russian diplomats in a case related to an explosion at an ammunition depo prime minister. says
