protests in colombia over proposed tax reforms the finance minister has now quit and the epic games takes on apple in a court battle over its highly lucrative app store and how much it charges developers. and i'm santa how much now have all the sport covert 19 a rock the indian premier league or the knight riders game called off after 2 of their cricketers tested positive. india is fast approaching $20000000.00 confirmed coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic after recording a 12th straight day of more than 300000 infections and the 368000 cases and more than 3400 deaths were reported on monday while the devastating surge

has led to the deaths of at least 40000 people in just the last 2 weeks medical experts though say the real numbers may actually be between 5 to 10 times higher in a glimmer of hope government advisers believe in fact. sions could peak by wednesday a few days earlier than previously estimated as the virus has spread faster than expected but the health system is buckling another 24 people died after a hospital in cabin attack a state run out of oxygen elizabeth poor on them reports from new delhi. relatives of patients who died when this hospital's oxygen supply ran out overcome with grief. already. my boy had recovered 75 percent oxygen was available he would have survived but without oxygen last night he died.

others vented their anger at hospital staff in the state of karnataka one man said his brother called him at midnight asking for help. because a call at midnight that he's not getting his oxygen supply he got married just 2 months ago now who look after his family. karnataka is one of india's richest states but also one of the worst affected few places in the country have been spared by the 2nd wave of the virus the capital new delhi set up its 1st oxygen generation plant after more than 50 patients died when their supply ran out . so. when we are completely dependent on supply chains and cylinders then these problems are bound to rise it is a great idea to overcome that problem we have created an oxygen generation plant here in simple words it is a kind of oxygen concentrator only with greater capacity. oxygen concentrations continue to arrive along with other international aid trains are

being used to transport cryogenic tankers with liquid oxygen to those states hardest hit by the virus the government to expand the vaccination program to include everyone above the age of 18 but there are shortages of doses too people have been waiting in a line outside this center for hours the vaccines arrived late and the process is taking much longer than expected and that's only leading to more frustration for people standing in queues where proper social distancing isn't possible. gladwin rally. like hundreds of others waited for more than 3 hours for his jab i feel. is the main issue because people have been waiting here since morning. but they have been here. and now we are getting you know are going to get in in some science vaccinations were delayed because of a lack of health care workers to administer them to ease the pressure on the health

care system and the u.s. supreme court has asked the government to consider imposing a nationwide lockdown but not before making arrangements for india's hundreds of millions of daily wage earners who must work every day to survive elizabeth purana al-jazeera new delhi earlier i spoke to dr ravi malique the managing director of re the x. healthcare hospital in new delhi and also the former general secretary of the indian medical association i asked her how overwhelmed hospitals the side who is to help when beds are scarce. try to segment the patient's interest to get a good number one care dignity is not requiring a new york season and they are putting unnecessary load on the infrastructure soviet divided the patients into 2 segments so one segment is those who are normally quiting works in and the other segment is requiring work season and

critical intensive care treatment so. only treating those fissions who are requiring the off season or what appeared to get the sick list of the patients you're giving them the fairly conservations and they're taking good are told and yet explaining the warning signs when they are supposed to be reporting got blow over hospital in case the doxygen ition bikies is checking by the spirit to meter so they are checking that largely. oxygen is. decreasing or to beach it is running high on the on getting some blueness on their hips or meal so we we tell them certain warning signs when they are rushing to the hospital otherwise we are taking care of them and pull the other segment of the patients those who are needing rock season games that are critically sick only do speech and being admitted right now with covais there's always a lot of a couple of weeks between infection and then being seriously ill and needed

hospitalization and unfortunately even death do you fear that because of those few weeks that actually you haven't seen the worse the war star of all of this wave just yet. the 1st of this. to come you're absolutely right the average speed of getting the covered in fiction and that from all of you have seen people collapsing been in 48 hours but by and large was the majority of them the average duration of the onset of symptoms and that is about say $214.00 days of military to 17 days so whatever astronomical increase of pieces we have seen to be that is. going to come after to vieques so has not yet. speed. as yet to come and all over the new york. seeing many of these and i must tell you on move

here today we have reported in the last 24 hours stranded 1000 cases in the lead but it is just strip off the ice because we are testing 970000 of cases now in a population of 25000000 if we are testing 728-0000 so it is likely that the number is likely to come video. there is a shoot pressure on the health infrastructure so maybe. the medical team is. trying to save the people rather than being asked so that is probably one of the reason that doctors are much less but on the ground the cases are much more so there are not many is symptomatic cases might listen to many cases or the people who don't have resources those are not getting tested and they are not being reflected in the not so there's also want to weigh

bodies that the numbers are much more as has been projected but then lost. because of the efforts of the government believe you have started seeing a little improvement in supply your folks season and in supply you have some kind of infrastructure and is there anything else that you think the government should do now or should prioritize the how to help hospitals like the one that you manage . yes the government should do 2 things on one say the preventive action should continue that is the vaccination right you almost get i'm you can call me patients old school and i've got a vaccination to give you are giving vaccines we have given thousands of vaccines and last. 2 months since the vaccine drive has started in india so on one side the government should increase the vaccination speed so that the people in the developed their herd immunity and on the other say dish should try to save as many

people as possible by supplying oxys and medicines beds and strengthening the health infrastructure so that the early will deceive the lives so great no the momentous and critical concern is to save the lives of the patients to get oxys and in delhi to get the medicines to keep care of the patients the world health organization is calling on g 7 nations to fail the 35 to 45000000000 dollar gap in funding needed to vaccinate the global population it's stressing that without worldwide immunity coronavirus will keep rice arfa saying in every nation former u.k. prime minister and current chair of the global strategic infrastructure initiative gordon brown made the case that w h o's daily briefing. to protect ourselves locally we need to act globally with the concerted and immediate push them aspects of the world underwritten by the richest

drivers. colombia's finance minister has resigned after that the protests across the country over proposed the tax hikes at least 17 people are now known to have died and hundreds have been injured since the demonstrations began on wednesday 16 were protestors and one was a police officer president even duke a withdrew the tax reforms which included a sales tax on public services and some food however he does say that reforms are still needed to stabilize colombia's economy and people have continued to protest well listen that empathy is live for us in bogota following developments on a sunday we have seen the resignation of the finance minister is this a victory for the protesters do they see it that way.

definitely a victory for the protesters one of 2 major victories that they have achieved after 6 days of protests across the country but those victories have done little to quell the anger on the streets people want to continue protesting and the leaders of this the national strike or saying that they will continue they have called for another major demonstration across the country on wednesday and truly this has now gone way beyond reason or at least original reason for the protests which was these tax hikes this tax reform and has morphed into something bigger and into a national outcry in many ways against the rising unemployment rising poverty and inequality that was sparked by the arrival of the coronavirus and what protesters

see as the botched response to it by the government so the protests that will will continue despite the violence that we've seen protesters are accusing and human rights organizations in colombia are accusing the police of brutal response to the protests or accusing them for much of the violence and some of the killings on the other hand the colombian government and in particular the minister of defense came out monday saying that those responsible for the looting and and the destruction of public property were not simple protesters but they said illegal on groups that might be behind this violence so this was beyond its loose vandals who come from that have developed premeditated. financed by dissident groups from the. group who seek to destabilize some regions

particularly. now molineaux their minister of defense. intelligence information but the you didn't present the any other evidence that the year len or dissidents of the form of fark rebels might be behind some of the destruction and the looting be it as it may what's clear is that the protests will continue some demonstrations have persisted on monday now also truck drivers have added there again is a chanst to the strike blocking some of the mean highways in the country and we can expect another major day of demonstrations on wednesday alison the m.p.t. with the latest live in but with a little think you. one of me and mars most powerful rebel groups that could

cheat independence army says it's shot down a military helicopter near the town of moore about a social media video said to be of the helicopter shows an aircraft dropping leaving a trail of smoke fighting between the army and the think armed groups has intensified since february screw well because she now one of several less think minorities who have allied themselves with the nationwide protest movement against the coup scott heide lu is monitoring the story from neighboring thailand then has more now on the group's claims. that's from the kitchen independence army and they're one of the largest most powerful ethnic armed organizations inside myanmar and they have claimed that they shot down this helicopter they're saying it was a most likely a shoulder launched guided missile that brought down this helicopter we haven't heard anything from the tatmadaw that's the official name for the military in myanmar this is part of this escalation we've seen of fighting between armed ethnic organizations they really occupy the borderlands or are surround the center parts

of myanmar there are many different groups but the kitchin independence army is one that has really kind of been engaged in heavier battles more frequent battles with the army since the coup on february 1st so this is i guess kind of of the latest round if you will they claim pretty soon after i would say maybe 2 or 3 hours after they said they brought down this helicopter which was 10 am this morning that they did in fact bring it down this again they say is retaliation for air strikes that happened overnight sunday into monday today and then also on monday morning they said they were tally 80 because the helicopter involved was attacking position their positions but also they said that earlier in the day there were fighter aircraft doing the same taliban fighters have attacked an army outpost and fought a province in southwest afghanistan killing at least 7 soldiers and capturing another a bomb has also exploded near a school in the province wounding 21 people many of them students or people in

that covert lockdown restrictions are being lifted poaching was the around authority last year the lowest it had been in nearly a decade rangers are removing the horns of rhinos to make them useless to poachers poachers sell them on the illegal black markets mainly in china and vietnam there are only an estimated $16000.00 rhinos left in south africa. kind of interesting is worked on a number of levels the production of international and even local travel prevented the movement of product perhaps even more so the restriction of movement of people within the progs reduce the amount of information available to the organized networks looking for rhino horn and that's one of the reasons why poaching numbers were down that's more still to come in this news hour including kurdistan calls for the ceasefire with take a stand to be respected as those displaced by border clashes start returning home.

a plan to raise the cap on refugee admissions 262500 after a severe criticism from his own supporters just 2 weeks ago he abandoned the plan after rising numbers of people cross the border from mexico but he now says he will raise the number of refugees allowed in this year from the historic low or 15000 set by the trunk administration all mike hanna is live for us in washington d.c. why do you think he's done that my. well there was a man blowback from his own party in particular and individuals within it when he insisted that he was going to retain that cap of 15000 set by president however this is being announced in the memorandum to the secretary of state and in this memorandum the president says that that figure was something that he was looking at he made very clear at the time that he said he was keeping the $15000.00 that it

would still be reviewed this is a now in effect that review having taken information from the department of state among others but no doubt whatsoever this is a consequence of immense resistance within the party to him retaining that old cap now what must be noted as well is that in his statement president biden makes very clear that it's unlikely that this figure of $62500.00 will be met this year this is because he says there are insufficient services still in place the inheritance from the last administration meant that there are many within all to patrol within homeland security posts that still have to be filled also be noted that the fiscal year ends in october and president biden says that in the next year that is a 2122 school year he is looking at raising the cap to more than $120000.00 but even this figure will be difficult to full unless the posts in the administration

are filled very very quickly indeed also to be noted is that the breakdown of the refugees is done on a regional basis in the letter the memorandum to the secretary of state africa for example has the largest amount of permitted refugees etc 20000 the central america and the caribbean for example is restricted to 5000 so these refugees are allowed in on a regional basis from each specific geographical region. and mt kept in place 12 and a half. 1000 which can be allocated as the need is addressed but importantly president biden reversing himself raising the cap on refugees the question is whether he can meet this by the end of the fiscal year in october mike hanna with the latest on that story from washington d.c. mike thank you. kurdistan's leader is calling for a cease fire with. saturday to be respected as this place people begin to return

creation of northern ireland for nationalists though there is nothing to celebrate they want the whole island unified under one irish flag a 30 year conflict known as the troubles which began in the 1960 s. caused thousands of deaths on both sides andrew symonds reports from belfast. the drumbeats of the flute marked northern ireland's 100 years of existence and the marches in defiance of coded regulations see celebrated we in turn a street away though you can see the underlying mood isn't happy many of these protestants feel like outcasts there's a lot of people in the pollo. they're not they're not criminals or they're made out to be. for us it's a pastime as well as a cultural but i think if there was even a threat of ours unity that. will be forecast what we did on the street maybe a lot more. scenes views are i code by fellow band members marching all over

this vastly this housing estates on the outskirts of belfast the police tried to get them to disperse. but they march on under surveillance from above this isn't code it's a mock a 100 years since the birth of them all and it's aimed at the political class is the protestant church far perhaps. it's a call for a return to the sort of hardline thinking of the late reverend ian paisley a firebrand preacher who founded the democratic unionist party that d u p p have given and year after year on the want to keep on government on. the need the need there needs to be any structural rappers out of the working class people and tend to step down that's one of the reasons for the ousting of alim foster 1st minister and leader she may be replaced by evangelist edwin poots

and to simmons' al-jazeera belfast. epic games the makers of the popular video game fortnight has gone into battle with apple in court win or lose the antitrust trial draws apple into a global debate on whether huge tech companies should be regulated epic games says apple has turned its app store into a weapon for shaking down smaller companies to boost its already huge profits fortnight is free but apple currently takes a cut of up to 30 percent from in app purchases like special weapons or new characters in august last year epic games that laid a trap for apple wanting its own in app payment system when apple kicked fortnight off the platform that epic hit apple with a lawsuit arguing the company's control over the app store is anti competitive apple says it's fees are fair given its investment in the i phone which it calls

a nice product even though there are more than a 1000000000 people that actually have an i phone now. what jon burge meyer is the legal director and that market expert at public knowledge a not for profit specializing in choice in the digital marketplace he joins us via skype from washington sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so epic saying the app store that apple has turned the app store into a weapon for shaking down smaller companies does epic have a point you know i think i think it does the app store is the only way for malls users to get software to eiffel and apple simply says that if you're going to be in the store if you have any purchases he needs to give apple and that's not the way that most software platforms like microsoft windows work apple is obviously an enormous company has to be said epic isn't particularly smaller on the other hand so what do you think that this legal case will turn on. i think that the key legal

question is one of market definition because market definition is whether or not i aware apps apps for the i phone and i pad are a market in which case apple obviously has significant market power or whether the broader market is all 'd mobile apps so if you include an i o. s. apps with android apps as a sort of mobile application market then apple doesn't look like it is quite so dominant and one of the issues is that well if you will have an i phone and android app doesn't do you much good you have to switch your entire platform and the fact is that most people are really willing to give up their investment apps in services that are just on one platform like i message or apple new. just to switch over to just to switch over 'd to enter it yeah i mean android i.o.'s i mean a lot of these platforms really engender what we and many of the users so how

damaging is this for the end users themselves. yeah i think these disputes are really you know 2 companies apple's obviously much larger than ever but there they are still 2 giant companies and i think that the interests of consumers do sometimes get lost because what consumers are missing is not just nature in app purchases on games from epic because at this dispute but when you think about all the other games out there that might not even be made because they don't see like a path to financial viability or the fact they're when it comes to some services like music streaming and this is a this is an ongoing issue in the european union. apple charges the same 30 percent to spotify while its own apple music does not have to pay 30 percent to someone else so that means that spotify is at a cost disadvantage to its major competitor or it has to charge 30 percent more than apple does and either way it's not a good situation from the perspective of choice and competition be this particular

case is important obviously because of the companies involved but it's also a massive global debate and sometimes there's different sensitivities certainly on on the sides of the plant take out where do you stand on whether huge tech companies should be regulated and if so i guess the question is how much. yeah i mean i do think that tech companies should be regulated that doesn't mean that any regulation that's on proposes a something they automatically agree with there's good ideas for regular and bad ideas for regular lieschen and when it comes to app stores i mean i certainly appreciate the security and privacy that apple prides itself on on the i phone it's just that a lot of that doesn't really come from the app store and deciding what apps going to do but from the design of the phone itself i think if it were possible for people to install 'd software on their phones from other sources that the amount of competition would not just give consumers more choice but i think it would drive apple to make its own app store even better more competitive to service better apps

to people and also of course to provide better deals to developers will it be interesting to see what the final verdict from this case is for the moment john the burgh meyer legal director in the app market expert at public knowledge sir thank you for sharing your expertise with us and thank you for having me now 2 of the world's wealthiest people and biggest philanthropists bill and melinda gates have announced they're getting divorced microsoft co-founder bill gates announced the split on twitter in a joint statement saying that after much thought they've decided that the end their marriage they have vowed to continue working together on the bill and melinda gates foundation a couple of donated at least $50000000000.00 to charity initiatives including partially funding the world health organization. still ahead in this news hour 500 years since the spanish conquest of mexico a local group stages
