my money this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. at least 40000 people have lost their lives in india in the past and weeks as a result of the devastation in coronavirus cases. colombians continue to protest despite president slashing his tax reform plan and finance minister resigning. and 500 years into spanish conquest of mexico a local group are staging their own symbolic invasion across the atlantic. the us president joe biden has raised the cap on refugees and touring the country despite an earlier decision to keep the limit imposed by donald trump more than 62000 people can now be admitted to the u.s. this year that's up from $15000.00 baht an administration faced severe backlash

after it said it would maintain the previous limit. joins us now live from washington d.c. this is quite an about turn for the u.s. president. very much an about turn myleene remembering that a few weeks ago he insisted that the cap would remain at 15000 however in his memorandum to the secretary of state which announces the new cap he says that that 15000 was always a figure that was going to be reviewed he's attempting to walk himself back on this particular subject following that massive blowback he had from fellow democrats in particular but now the cap is set at $62.00 and a half 1000 but here comes a caveat the president says that it's unlikely that this cap will be reached during the remainder of this fiscal year which ends in october because he says there are such immense star shortages in bodies like the department of homeland security

shortages that president biden says are inherited from the previous administration so even though the cap has been increased largely it may not be full fuld according to the president himself but in the same breath the president is saying that come the next fiscal year from october 20 to $21.00 to $22.00 the cap is going to be rage raised 212-0000 more than 120000 so this is a very significant increase indeed in terms of the amount of refugees that will be permitted into the united states president biden now says that that figure of 15000 the lowest in history did not reflect america's values of the secretary of state has just released a statement on this issue as well as saying that it's essential for national security and for the growth of the nation as a whole to get a steady stream of refugees coming into this country so it's a complete u. turn from the trumpet ministrations policy that attempted to keep people out this

administration saying that it wants people to come in because that is the economy and the country as a whole all of that beings there said that remind president biden saying that the cap may not be reached this year because of staff shortages but saying it's going to increase even further coming next year mike hanna thanks. india is fast approaching 20000000 confirmed coronavirus cases after recording a 12th straight day of more than 300000 infections 24 patients have died off and yes another hospital run out of oxygen the devastating surge has led to the deaths of at least 40000 people in just the past 2 weeks medical experts say the real numbers may be up to 10 times higher india correspondent elizabeth problem reports now from new delhi. relatives of patients who died when this hospital's oxygen supply ran out overcome with grief. already. my

a great idea to overcome that problem you have created an oxygen generation plant here in simple words it is a kind of oxygen concentrate don't 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 to. 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 were probably social distancing isn't possible. gladwin reality like hundreds of others waited for more than 3 hours for his jab i feel.

gates still remain what the 9 are accused of what the 2 priests of already being convicted of represents for many a crime even more heinous because the children were deaf because they were perceived to be more vulnerable therefore the exploitation of trust by those responsible for looking after them seems to be even greater. much of the trial will be conducted virtually as the covered $1000.00 pandemic continues to devastate argentina with nearly $200.00 witnesses scheduled to testify many of them requiring sign language interpreter it could take up to a year a year exposing deep wounds that some must face and others would rather avoid. daniel schorr in their odyssey era one of cyrus. the u.k. is hosting the 1st meeting of g 7 foreign ministers in 2 years since foreign secretaries brains get accounts from 7 countries including the us canada japan and
