3. President Joe Bidens administration said on Wednesday it is cancelling $1.2 billion worth of student loans for some 153,000 people who are eligible under a program used to make good on promises to increase loan forgiveness.

4. U.S. President Joe Bidens brother James Biden is due to testify behind closed doors on Wednesday to a Republican-led House of Representatives impeachment inquiry that has sought to show that the Democrat improperly profited from his familys business.

5. Indian police fired tear gas and water cannons on Wednesday to scatter thousands of farmers trying to stage a protest march to Delhi after they rejected a government offer on prices for their produce, prompting an offer of fresh talks.
