6:16 am
reach 145 in one day but over the past week around 100 bodies suspected to be of covert 19 victims have been found floating in the ganges in the states of be hard and author pradesh in bihar they have been reports of a shortage of wood for funeral pyres because of the unprecedented number of cremations that's denied by the local administration but behind is also india's poorest state with only 92 community health care centers for 120000000 people. but i've been there pandey traveled from his home town to the capital patna to find a hospital for his wife he told al-jazeera he can't afford the medical care or food for himself. or. i have to buy medicines every day we get few tablets from the hospital for free but there are 4 basic illnesses

6:18 am
for me it is not there. to come to a hospital. cases of the virus in india have now tops $24000000.00 but more than a quarter of a 1000000 deaths but it's widely suspected that the actual figures are likely to be much higher elizabeth pradhan al jazeera new delhi. in the tourist harbor of go a least 75 patients have reportedly died due to a lack of oxygen at its top state run hospital over the past 4 days the high court has slammed the government and top hospital officials for saying logistical issues while connecting oxygen cylinders may have caused some casualties. covert 19 positivity rate is the highest in the country at nearly 50 percent which means one out of every 2 people tested have the virus. well demand for overseas donations in india is higher than ever but is being blocked by a sweeping change to
6:19 am
a decades old law governing foreign aid now an amendment made last year has created legal and administrative hurdles limiting donations made by international charities to local groups the government says it strengthens accountability and it wants foreign charities to donate to government controlled sons but has been criticized for its lack of transparency more than a dozen indian nonprofit groups say their work has been paralyzed by the law change they've complained that it diverts scarce resources away from relief efforts during the pandemic for more this let's join subject go she's a lawyer who practices in the high court of delhi and at the supreme court of india joins me now via skype from new delhi mr goh she could have your live on al-jazeera according to the new york times just a few days ago the donations in the red tape that is now involved in putting not put it donors off from helping india i mean what seems to be the problem in accepting aid to be physical or financial into the country. well so far
6:20 am
as you said about the law the foreign contribution regulation act when inexplicably during the pandemic there was a change to the law and now it's become even more difficult for foreign donors to donate in india to indian n.g.o.s for starters it has to be a centralized going to action for centralized bank so in many cases in rural india you may not have you these national international banks where the nation comes into the end you secondly of course they have prevented subcontracting are subducting so for example if a big endure gets a foundation and they run to the other part of the fun store are looking to ensure let's say in a small part of bihar order to predation you cannot go back because now the new rules that they have made and look aren't ready prevent that from happening and then of course there are other strange which have also been put in place for example there are limitations on the amount that can you spend on star salary and stock expenses so all this has what for example an enduring and last week would not
6:21 am
actually distribute oxygen because they did not have you ever that are available and this of course has been happening for a long time it's just not last year so that's good happening since 201514 indeed prime minister modi had said he wanted more control over the aid that comes into the country afraid as he puts it of aid being misused for other uses other than it was aid as such what is he actually afraid of what is the b j p afraid of when it comes to foreign aid coming into the country. well that's a 1000000 dollar question because you know your little family and also to organizations and also charity of this government from the very beginning have been very very suspicious of charity coming in but also of course the us shares that that would lead to conversion that would lead to some kind of manipulation of public opinion against the government which is why this and that i regime have control and regulate do not off our fund contributions and non-governmental
6:22 am
organizations stuck in that space and it is inexplicably hile as you can see you must have lost your reports that the police actually going after private citizens and opposition political parties were trying to reach out and the people there are questioning citizens who are farming groups are outside groups and other kind of social media outreach for the people and the state just completely vanished what we've seen that in the coded scenario that centralization of the aid has literally fallen apart or there's a great deal of you might say the blame game occurring right now against prime minister modi's beach a big government for just being completely incompetent when it comes to distributing and helping in this covert pandemic he wanted all of this aid going into something called the pm cares fund has very little transparency apparently. absolutely absolutely the b.m.
6:23 am
care fund which was set up we had a prime minister's nationally fun but for reasons best known to the government when the pandemic it one constituted a c.m. care fund that made it very clear to public corporations are and also private companies that this is the preferred status of the nation so actually the states which are the and the 1st front of dealing with the pandemic well start us off corporate social donations and and and legally and i ate and all this money went to the pm care and it was not going to ability not transparency and even today if you do not know how much money has some and how much has been spent yesterday as news reports says that some of the ventilators which have been purchased from the get fund i've turned out to be absolutely felty and there's no accountability on how well he is or were ordered and who wants to be held responsible and remember this that because of this fact or centralization of the money to the pm to the states who are not being told to watch as vaccines were not being told to fire fight but
6:24 am
on our mistakes than had to be spun the steps then had access to the resources and indeed 30 nonprofit organizations in the light of all of this have appealed apparently to the indian government and even to the american agencies who are helping india to revisit this legislation and to relax the regulations for this particular pandemic do you think there will be much traction in civil society and impact on the government to letter told these rules. well if you see the history of the last year you have this government study of a 5 year storms of a society feels especially if you see you know the development of the agricultural lobby you also 1 steam bordering the pandemic so far as this is going to sound that has been an effort made at the high court to get you high court has also asked the government to reconsider those as an imagined on an imagined basis but keep in mind that because this is happened it was so long that almost 15 pounds and enjoys
6:25 am
residue distractions have been cancelled better than yours were actually working in the in the in civil society i bound up operations are scaled down operations so even after a day at the last minute there is some kind of a rethink on the part of the government i don't judge whether it's going to be effective but i do something is better than nothing we'll see what happens for the moment sanjay gauche very good to get your important your insight thanks for joining us from new delhi i can thank you so much the u.s. is current virus thanks a nation campaign has expanded to include all young people aged $12.00 to $15.00 comes as the world health organization calls on wealthy countries to donate vaccines for children to its kovacs which is helping low income countries acquire the champ's this particle hain reports the by the ministration doesn't seem likely to heed that call. it's not often that you see kids actually excited to get a vaccination shot but that was before kovac and the confidence that comes with
6:26 am
a vaccine i was glad because now i can be like safer and soon will be able to like be out soon and do normal things i think it's cool that it's at school because i can see like all my fellow classmates getting it and that i know that like people around me all have it and my whole like district has it so it makes me feel safer for their parents finally some relief from what has been constant stress and fear having been through 3 cases of cove it in my household of 6. i couldn't get my 12 and 15 year old daughters that shot in the arm fast enough but she is in the minority according to polls about a 3rd of parents want to get their kids that's unaided the rest want to wait will only do it if they have to or they won't do it at all the government wants more people covered to get close to herd immunity and doctors are trying to combat any hesitancy with science while kids are less likely to have a serious complications from coven 19 there was a recent study that showed about
6:27 am
a quarter of kids who have persistent symptoms of lasting months after their initial infection still the world health organization believes this shouldn't be happening yet in 100 countries we bowed to the my duty to the vaccine supply lower risk groups are now being vaccinated. i understand why some countries won't to blacks who need their children and adolescents. but right now i urge them to go to reconsider and to is to donate vaccines to kovacs the body ministration is given no indication that they're even considering that given the political fallout would be fierce so now in community centers like this one all over the country teens are being vaccinated up next kids from 6 months old to 12 years old that decision is expected
6:28 am
in september political hay al-jazeera maryland so they can support of us president donald trump has been elected to a senior leadership role in the republican party he or congresswoman lisa stephanie constituted a was voted in as house conference chairwoman she replaces liz cheney who was voted out for her recent criticism of trump 100 reports from washington d.c. . donald trump might seem like a man enjoying semi retirement but his grip on the republican party hasn't slipped just ask fellow republican liz cheney she spoke out against him i will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office her party repaid her by ousting her as the republican conference chair the party's number 3 leader in the house of representatives even though donald trump is no longer commander in chief even though he no longer sits in the oval office he still controls the party he still will be enormous influence over
6:29 am
the party and what you're seeing are republicans making it started effort to try to not only rewrite history but also rewrite it and the way that center is everything around donald trump and that's for good or bad cheney was replaced on friday by a least a funny who made no secret of where her allegiance lies i believe that voters determine the leader of the republican party and president trump is the leader that they look to stiff voted not to certify joe biden is the winner of the 2020 election earning her the support of the man still claiming he won it is this is a rigged election everybody you know republican congressman adam kinzinger says only a few of his colleagues really believe that donald trump won the last presidential election but few were willing to speak out against him so while the party is getting an injection of new leadership the man who calls the tune remains the same
6:30 am
as for the man who by every official count did win the election he seems to want to turn the page liz cheney are suggesting it is above my pay grade i mean i have enough trouble figuring out of my own party all the time let alone the public with that could be difficult with his predecessors constant criticism and his frequent hints that he wants a rematch in 2024. john hendren al-jazeera washington. is there with me so rob a reminder of our top stories a refugee camps been hit in the latest israeli air strikes on gaza at least 8 people have been killed including 6 children rescue workers have been digging through the rubble for survivors in the shati refugee camp after the high.
