hello hala the situation remains very very bad in india it's been nearly 2 weeks lot of the country has recorded more than 300000 cases despite that the health ministry said on monday that they think that the cases in the worst affected areas that's maharashtra delhi and check this go are beginning to plateau but india still doesn't test enough to know the real number of infections and testing has also come down in the last few days now they also said that cases are going up in 10 states including in bihar which is the poorest it has the worst health care infrastructure in the country it only has one doctor for every 28000 people the health ministry also said that there are no shortages of oxygen but that is very mixed messages coming from the government because while the health ministry says that the government itself including prime minister but in the more he has been speaking

about using nitrogen generation plants. to see whether they can be used to generate oxygen the oxygen shortage continues we heard from the children's hospital this morning that they only have 5 hours of oxygen left today and there are also concerns about the international aid that surviving guess it has been over the last 5 days some 300 tons from 25 countries but 6 states including delhi say they haven't received any of this aid the indian red cross which receives the ada saying they passed it to a government company which handles the storage and was just a government company when asked about it says to direct any questions about it to the help ministry it also sounds fairly chaotic what exactly is the government doing about all of this where are its priorities right now. so we haven't heard a lot from the government will we hear briefings from the health ministry sometimes

promising that in the more he himself doesn't has never once in his 7 years of being in power held a press conference and taken questions from journalists but what we did hear from the government on monday is that they are very much going ahead with a massive multi-billion dollar project some of it you can see behind me to reconstruct the historic out of central new delhi they are rebuilding a full kilometer stretch which houses some of the country's most iconic buildings including the presidential palace which is ahead of me they're building a new parliament they're building a new residence for the prime minister and on monday they announced this very strict deadline that the prime minister's new residence has to be built by the end of next year and there was so much criticism that the government can go ahead with such a big project not just that environmental clearances were pushed through without proper consultation but that they can spend this kind of money that it can have

worked is. being bussed in to construct the thing when the only essential services are allowed in delhi because there's a very strict law in place and when india is facing its worst crisis in modern history and people are dying because of shortages of beds oxygen equipment and medicines ok elizabeth prada merit joining us there from new delhi thank you so much indeed for giving us a sense of the situation in india well we can talk now with. singh boss so he's a critical care doctor and is also in new delhi 1st of all can i just get your thoughts on that you and your coli eggs are struggling to keep as many patients as you can along i mean we've just heard from our correspondents the government pushing ahead with the project referred bush the presidential palace i does that make you feel. this means i i feel very

ashamed of my garmin but they are now their priority is still not health care though india's health care was and not in a good shape previously also but based on believe all the focus and all the news on health care but still we are seeing their government is busy in billing this and a list of projects which was no dog and apart from that and they won denying everything like they were saying there is more chart is there is more bad shortage and they were just giving a mis information not a false belief to everyone that everything is court and but me of n.b.c. and when the ground let me get at it what. we are struggling to keep our patients are labeled patients are struggling to get the beds hospitals are struggling to get oxygen medicines and equipment man that is so much stronger the longer i want but the government's priorities are different so this really hurts this really hurts as a doctor i imagine it must see a let's talk about the situation on the grains the government is denying there are

oxygen shortages well appealing for international aids but you're on the front lines you're working in these hospitals. just give us a sense of what it's like how are you and your colleagues coping with the enormous pressure that you must be under. the thing is now. still now we are not able to think about ourselves we are just in build up patience out of this because there is so much bitching lord even if we want to think about it we have beyond what i am that is almost like i have never managed many critical patients at a particular moment of time in my lifetime means at any moment of time i am managing almost turned out well for critically ill patients who only i have to decide who how rich they all foxy then we have to give oxygen in a sense in with rich table for instrument whether we have to put them on a ventilator although for the moment belittle it is so much life and death to see

dance in every 2nd but we aren't just in bull but service all for humanity but i am i am but it is there how long can we continue with this and what will be the future i am also ready what it. in terms of patients i mean you're a doctor you're there to look after people to keep them healthy to give them the best chance in life but we're hearing reports of doctors having to decide who gets to live and he to die who to give the treatment to who to withhold treatment from as a doctor how difficult is it watch patients die that you know could be saved if you had the necessary equipment or indeed oxygen. yes very painful means we have lost one not one senior doctor that one of the senior doctor but the hospital doctor in new delhi and believe lost him because the oxygen supply of the hospital and certainly so when we look we are losing our colleagues we are losing

about be ashamed and we are seeing them banging because of her level folks they don't let off for essential equipment and sold these things what a very painful and it cause it's like i can see us by parcel experience that it is very traumatic and sometimes we feel that for when we are serving so much when there is still much ignored and so on the ground by the gone but still we are not seeing any commitment still we are not seeing any benefit more than. a means to the garment and they are still looks for the left so it is very dramatic and very big it must be very traumatic indeed dr hargett singh there a critical care doctor on the front lines thank you so much for everything you're doing and for talking to us here on al-jazeera thank you an elevated metro line has collapse in mexico's capital sending a train crashing down on to the cars below at least 20 people have been killed and

i ski crews have been pulling people from the wreckage of the carriages which are hanging precariously over the roads around 70 injured people have been taken to hospitals around the city we can get more now from man who is in mexico city man or what happens. hello we've arrived were about as close as authorities are allowing us to get to the scene of the accident is just past 2 am in mexico city in the southwestern part of town let me bring you in to what the scene actually looks like i'm going to give you more than just a sense this is the actual scene. that we're seeing here in mexico city these are 2 metro cars that have collapsed underneath this the structure that then collapsed on top of an overpass hitting at least one car underneath and what we know is what we've seen here. at the scene of the accident and what we've seen from that

surveillance footage that that captured the moment where that that elevated metro rail line collapsed over those cars sending a plume of dust and debris into the sky and now at the moment authorities sort of section this area off they're not allowing anybody to come through that is a member of the army national guard or authorities or 1st responders and they've actually taken a pause from much of the rescue work in the emergency work out of fears that there could be further structural damage that could be potential for another collapse you can see the state of those 2 cars are just hanging very precarious lee over over the freeway that the police and the authorities here have sectioned off an entire secure perimeter not allowing any of the residents to come anywhere anywhere close to the scene out of fear that there could be another collapse now the mayor of mexico city was here earlier she confirmed that at least that that the that the death toll has now risen to to 20 people with dozens others injured what's unclear

is if everyone's been removed from from these cars if the authorities here and rescue workers have actually finished with the with the rescue operations but we are continuing to see more members of the national guard continue to arrive we're going to see more members of the emergency services continue to arrive and more this more than anything more importantly than anything keeping people away out of that fear out of a potential 2nd collapse a very precarious situation that manual republican live from the scene in mexico city thank you very much indeed for bringing us the latest. now at least there are people who have been killed by gunman in eastern burkina faso the attack happened in that common jari province near the border with the share the government says governments surrounded a village and went house to high is killing people and setting homes on fire. and they used the heads on many in brazil who had their 1st dose of the covert 900 facts seen haven't shown up for the 2nd one. in lebanon and israel received talks

west of weather coming down across the low countries central parts of france there's a cloud of rain moving through denmark sweden and in daytona to snow over the high ground there for pos all the norway some cold air making its way into moscow celsius here are some showers south of that is this is where the better weather is fine and dry weather coming through and more of the same as you go on through wednesday notice by wednesday more rain started out across southern parts of france of this state with snow coming in across the ouse we got some wet weather across northwest of africa northern parts of algeria still hot in cairo with a high of 42 degrees. frank assessments there are a lot of poison but the government needs to watch why exactly how and what measures never taking for a situation like i'm not to believe you could ever get informed opinions is the u.s. with thinking the military positioning of the middle east wasn't just

a memorandum to the department of state he says that this cap will be lifted to $62.00 and a half 1000 now he says the change of mind came because the $15000.00 figure that he'd agreed to was always an indefinite one that he was going to take further advice from colleagues and various departments about that particular figure but the major reason in all likelihood is the immense pressure that was brought to bear by members of his own democratic party there was absolute fury at the fact that president biden chose to stick with that 15000 cap but now you've got a cap of 62500 but there's a caveat with that the president says that in all possibility this cap will not be reached by the end of this fiscal year which is october simply because he says there is not enough staff in departments like homeland security this he says is a consequence of the previous administration's pruning of various departments so although the cap as been increased the president saying that it may not be filled

but he then adds there will be an even higher cap in the next fiscal year 2122 and that cap will be over 120000 refugees allowed to enter the united states. brazil is facing a new challenge in its battle against covert 19 it appears that many have had the 1st dose of the vaccine haven't shown up for the 2nd one well those who did discovered there were none available on a canuck yet has more from rio de janeiro. brazilians had to wait much longer than expected to get their vaccines the mass inoculation campaign in latin america's largest country got off to a late and rocky start in mid january so far only 15 percent of the population has received the 1st dose according to a media consortium that 6 percent of those lucky ones never showed up for the 2nd shot. to be including me i almost didn't i had to take an

inside the pill to make it here for my 2nd shot of astra zeneca i was so scared as were many standing in line with me we were hearing all these stories about blood clots and now i'm glad i came. doctors say that some people have not gone back because they forgot or simply thought that one shot was enough. being either block of information into fake news spread by thoughts who deny the pandemic part of the problem but we are also facing problems with the 2nd dose because of poor government planning. 16 states have run out of china's corona back vaccine one of the 2 most used in brazil many showed up for their 2nd dose only to be told there were none would have or should have a cannot and they told me to return another day but will there be any war. it's an embarrassment this is

a joke for those bloody politicians. doctors and scientists blame former health minister it will for the problem. you see as your program of the health ministry instructed mayors and governors to use all their supplies to speed up the delivery of. first goes instead of telling them to see a part of the stock to go into the 2nd dose the government was hoping more faxes would arrive in time that did not but there have been delays in the delivery of vaccines and of supplies to produce them oakley india one of brazil's main suppliers is at the center of the epidemic now in dealing with a health catastrophe but brazil has just received the 1st batch of 1000000 fires are vaccine doses. the lack of planning will be discussed this week by the senate committee investigating the government's handling of the pandemic former health minister boss will be called to testify on wednesday. he will be asked to explain

why brazil took so long to accept pfizer's offer to begin providing millions of doses last year doses that only just started to arrive monica and i q al-jazeera rio de janeiro. there's a lot of vaccine hesitancy to in yemen the war torn country has received its for shipments as part of the cold hard facts and sharing initiative shala ballasts has more yemenis in the southern city of tire use move with purpose not pausing for fear of their own one of the front lines in the country 6 year war or for fear of a global pandemic they march on well versed in surviving alone. there is bad news for these nurses at all thought were hospitalized there are no queues for the vaccine despite a spike in fictions last month a moan norrish population and a whole board health system. is yemen's 3rd largest city and has 4 ventilators grandpa got him and. i was surprised when i came to the medical center and found

a motor now that i got vaccinated along with my whole family and we were entirely convinced because the pandemic is widespread and symptoms are more intense. human was given 360000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine 5 weeks ago through the global kovacs vaccine cheering scheme 70000 were delivered to tire. we started on april 21st but the donald has been very low one reason is a religious belief that many people have taking a shot in the. fast it's wrong but that has led many people not to come that includes many health workers. in human streets masks a rear room is a not. trivial problem there is still a lot of uncertainty about the vaccine maybe it'll succeed or maybe it will fail.

to ankara to comply with un security council resolutions she made the remarks at a joint news conference with turkish foreign minister method covers all the turkey deployed troops and syrian mercenaries to libya after warlord who if i have to launched an offensive on tripoli in 2019 we also stressed the importance of turkey's contribution in stopping the war and consolidating the cease fire and to cooperate together in regard of ending the presence of all foreign forces and mercenaries on libyan lands in order to preserve the sovereignty of the libyans turkish foreign minister mefford cover so the responded by saying encore is forces were invited by the previous libyan administration. and the support we offered according to the military and security understanding memorandum saved libya from falling into a civil war our support led to the ceasefire and offered an important opportunity to form a national unity government there are voices that are trying to quite between the presence of the turkish forces in libya and the presence of mercenary militaries

however during our strategic cooperation meeting in ankara we agreed on our commitment to such agreements. israel and lebanon have resumed talks aimed at ending decades long maritime border disputes between the 2 nations began in october last month the lebanese caretaker prime minister signed a decree expanding the country's border claims so how to reports from beirut's. significant gas fields have been discovered in the mediterranean sea lebanon's prospects are in water is disputed with israel away from the media the long time anime's are back negotiating at a united nations base along the border in direct u.s. mediated talks were called off weeks after they began in october it doesn't start from the us and lebanon was accused of pushing for 1430 square kilometers on top of the already disputed 860 square kilometers registered with the un

a position that brought an israeli gas field into disputed territory that it isn't is really feel that is going to start production by 2022 so the idea was like we claim the maximum we can get through life and to not we put in the angel and that will bring these raney's to negotiate a deal that is good for lebanon like that 23 is but lori tell ya unlike others believe lebanese authorities didn't formalize the new claim because the dispute is accord in the gauche asians with the united states when lebanon agreed to talks for the 1st time in 3 decades the trumpet ministration was imposing and threatening sanctions on politicians with ties with the iranian backed hezbollah those politicians are now hoping for better relations with the biden administration or at the least the deescalation of tensions. the resumption of talks was announced days

after david hill's visit to lebanon in april the undersecretary of state for political affairs was the 1st official in the new administration to come here on the eve of the visit lebanon's president michel aoun an ally of hezbollah put off signing a decree expanding the maritime claims because he said it would end negotiations but few expect an early breakthrough i don't see and you was too ready to compromise i don't see the lebanese politics basically is conducive to such important moments when you have. local tensions and no government so i don't see this is what are conducive for this and sir the us your intention and the israeli intention also will not help i don't see iran giving. through hezbollah and lebanon if we give them a deal would encourage international companies to invest which would help lebanon's crippling debt but the decision to engage in talks appears motivated by political

epic says the app store a cornerstone of apple's income amounts to a monopoly the company's abusing absolutely. and this is something they're not taking away well you know who is really a mac aggressively and that's why a lot of the gems are those who are kids as well as all the testimony that comes out. while i think games may be the 1st to take apple to court the company has been criticized in the past for its dominance in the developer world during a congressional hearing in april both apple and google face questions over domination and lack of competition in just the 1st 3 months of this year users are estimated to have spent $21000000000.00 on apps from apple's app store and around $11000000000.00 on apps from those clay store their billions not millions and that's 40 percent higher than last year this is
