they are now their priority is still not health care though in the us health care was not in the world shape previously also but this time being need all the focus and all the priorities on health care but still we are seeing that the government is busy in building this tendril with the project which was not solved and apart from that and they want benign give the thing like they were saying there is no oxygen short is there is no bed shortage and they were just giving them misinformation or a false belief to everyone that everything is good and but the event we see in the underground with the event get an idea what patience the we are struggling to keep our patients alive or patients are struggling to get the beds hospitals are struggling to get feed and medicines and the government mandate is too much to long gone but the government's priorities are different so this really hurt this really hurts as a whole still now we are not able to think about health we are just into the

patient because there is too much patient load even if we want to think about it we have don't have the time there is almost like i have never managed so many critical patients at a particular moment of time in my life time means at any moment of time i am managing almost 1012 critically ill patients whom i have to decide which type of oxygen we have to give oxygen in the. type of instrument rather be have to board them on a ventilator home before the ventilator so that is so much life and death decisions in every 2nd. and reporting from india's capital al-jazeera is elizabeth purana has more details of the construction project attracting more criticism of the government's. we are in the center of new delhi where there was a very strict lockdown in place with only essential services allowed construction only allowed if the work has a living on site and yes laborers are being bussed in from other parts of delhi to

. as the reason for this project but critics say that many of the world's most iconic buildings including government houses are old and that's modern reason to tear them now and not at such a time. an elevated metro line has collapsed in mexico's capital sending a train crashing don't on to cars below at least 20 people have been killed rescue crews have been pulling people from the wreckage of the carriages which are hanging precariously over the rules there and 70 injured people have been taken to hospitals around the city. what metro line is built when foreign minister marcello had brought it was mayor of mexico city mayor he said what happened today at the metro was a terrible tragedy my soul is with the victims and their families the causes must be investigated and responsibilities to find my whole republic is in mexico city with more we're 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 the 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 sea at least 30 people have been killed by gunman in eastern became a fan so the attack happened in common jonah province near the border with the share the government says gunmen surrounded a village and went to high skill in people setting homes on fire. president joe biden has raised the cap on refugees to loads into the u.s. after being criticized for trying iran limits president joe biden has been criticized but he confirmed that more than 62000 people can now be admitted to the united states is year up from 15000 can or has more now from washington d.c.

well it's a complete turnaround by president biden a massive u. turn a few weeks ago he was insisting the cap would stay at 15000 as a stop list by the trumpet ministration but now in a memorandum to the department of state he says that this cap will be lifted to 62 and a half 1000 now he says the change of mind came because the 15000 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 $62500.00 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 the sea 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. to london now where g 7 foreign ministers are meeting in person the 1st time since the pandemic began 19 tensions with russia and china was once quiet changes are expected to dominate the discussions prime minister boris johnson said ministers from australia india south africa and south korea see the summits as guests well has kept moon i from the barker he tries me live from london leave quite a lot in the entry for these leaders as they get to these discussions one of the

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 is and it isn't is there any fear 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 cottage in the injury and that will bring the israelis so we negotiate a deal that is good for lebanon like that 23 but lori hate the young like others believe lebanese authorities didn't formalize the new claim because the dispute is

a card in the gauche ations 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 by the administration or at 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 a new ready to compromise i don't see the lebanese politics music is conducive to such important moments when you have. tensions and the government so i don't see

what they can use it for this and 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 considerations and maneuvering not just economics then a quarter beirut a cease fire along a disputed border between kurdistan and tajikistan is holding after fighting last week killed them more than 50 people on both governments say they want an end to hostilities there are few signs of a political solution charles transferred reports from the border village of qatar. this is the 1st time zyban has returned to her home since she and her family fled for their lives it is completely destroyed. zyban he says kirkuk is she
