reengage with europe to consult with you earn back our position of trust and leadership achieving his these goals is going to depend on a course to change the proposition and that is the united states must renew america's enduring advantages so that we can meet today's challenges from a position of strength. from which you know. this year the prospects for multi-lateralism are a lot better than what they used to be and that has a lot to do with joe biden being the new president of the united states in his speech he announced that his administration has taken steps and we have seen that this is not just empty words but that they are taking action they return to the paris climate agreement the world health organization the human right councils and the readiness to reinvigorate the iran nuclear deal these are important steps towards more multilateral cooperation i can only support him and what he said it's

up to the democratic countries to do this not just to talk about freedom and values but to deliver results christensen amy is following events for us from washington d.c. and christine water a different tone from the new american president from his predecessor. absolutely it really felt like an attempt to turn the page on the previous administration from donald trump's america 1st to joe biden's america's back and reengaging with its traditional allies and multilateral institutions and showing that democracy can deliver in his words and to make that point or underscore that point he focused on a couple of things the efforts to fight the coronavirus worldwide announcing that the united states would commit $4000000000.00 to international efforts to bring the vaccine to poor countries he talked about rejoining the climate agreement the paris climate accord which took effect officially on friday here in the united states

talking about his commitment to meeting obligations under that agreement and challenging allies to do the same but he also spoke about what has been a real sore spot with european allies iran and efforts to bring back the nuclear deal which president trump withdrew from and the iranians have since backed away from their commitments under that so we're seeing a real attempt to show our allies that he's back that he wants to mend those fences and also reassert united states leadership on the global stage for the update thanks so much kristen so maybe that corresponds washington d.c. . now accused of hoarding doses the wealthy nations say they'll pour more money into the un's krone virus vaccination program kovacs which aims to inoculate poorer countries that little double its contribution

has warned of a catastrophic moral failure that will be paid for with lives and livelihoods among the world's poorest vaccine equity's not just the right thing to do it's also the smart thing to do. 37 pledges of funding in future vaccine donations have been welcomed but countries like india and south africa want to share access to vaccine patents what we're calling for reforms in how patents are in this case we because this should be. is in many countries as possible we have the capacity to be able to produce. for them so this we carried starting with africa has to wait for lift from the rich countries is not going to end the epidemic only france and germany have considered making some of their own

vaccine stocks available to developing countries now the french president has suggested donating up to 5 percent of existing supply he has support from the german chancellor. some of them to come from japan immuno workers i stressed in my intervention that the pandemic is not beaten and all people in the world have been vaccinated i don't mention after that infant the g 7 pledges of progress so campaigners but not enough joe know how al-jazeera. security forces have fired on hundreds of protesters in somalia's capital a presidential candidate had been leading a barge through mogadishu to denounce the delay to elections catherine soy a small was. barely heard a protest march started the airports when this happened. and intense firefight between government forces and proposition fighters the demonstration had been called by opposition presidential candidates and was being

led by some of them they included somalia's former prime minister has a hiding and opposition leader abdul rahman. they are angry about delays in holding a presidential election and the continued. life on my job and the top post after his stomach speired 2 weeks ago the opposition blames government forces for provoking the fight. to do security forces opened fire against peace rally in mogadishu this happened as the event was being widely watched in the media and the world as a result of this some have died and others were wounded but prime minister mohammed says opposition fighters fired the 1st shot every citizen has the right to demonstrate peacefully and for the security services to be the ones to guard the demonstrators and ensure their safety but we will not accept demonstrations guarded by forces outside the state authorities this is unacceptable the constitution does

not accept and we won't accept any shape or form. several people were injured in buildings around the airport destroyed by rocket propelled grenade launched by an identified man. 3 other presidential candidates were also caught up in an exchange of gunfire between security forces and unknown gunmen at a hotel in the city on friday the president of ordering the attack saying it was an attempt to assassinate them mogadishu is now calm but tense many people say they want an end to the insecurity and sat in but they also know the longer their political leaders feel to agree on how an election will be run and who will be in charge of the country in the meantime there was the situation can get catherine sorry al-jazeera. one of former us president of france most restrictive immigration policies has started to be dismantled until friday thousands of asylum seekers have to wait in mexico for their cases to be heard in the u.s.

now under the biden administration up to 25 people a day will be allowed to enter the u.s. while immigration courts consider their future a republic is live for us in mexico city with a reaction to this one wonders what the reaction is from the mexican government about sort of this u.s. announcer because it sort of takes the pressure off them for a little while at least. that's right so the reversal of the so-called migrant protection protocols has been most welcome in by mexican immigration authorities after all mexico really has carried the brunt of the burden of these policies that the so-called remained in mexico program that at its height had force somewhere around or more than $65000.00 migrants mostly from central america to wait in mexico other silent cases were being process in the united states but this is also welcome news from international human rights organizations that have been repeating for months for the last 2 years since the

migrant protection protocols were announced in january of 2019 that not permitting asylum applicants to have their cases be heard in the united states and wait for their cases to be processed in the united states betrays the obligations and commitments that the united states has made to international law so right now we're talking about somewhere around 25000 people who will once again through this reversal of the policies put in place by the trumpet ministration have an opportunity to have those asylum cases be heard the going to be letting in 25 people every day so this is not a process that's going to be very quickly but it is going to reverse something that human rights organizations have said stretches the limits of international law many of these migrants that have been forced to wait here in mexico are waiting and in very questionable conditions sometimes unsanitary conditions and oftentimes dangerous conditions because remember these are folks that are fled their home countries places like honduras el salvador guatemala fleeing extreme violence only

to then find themselves in similar precarious situations here in mexico so of course manuel you know depending on which side of the border you are all in this is potentially a social political hot potato because it could mean another exodus of people moving from central america towards the u.s. and allies it's another sort of kind of war that will be opened. quite possibly and this is very much on the radar of immigration officials both in the united states as well as here in mexico and we should note that throughout the course of 2020 the lock down from the pandemic saw an overall decline in migration from central america specifically but then something interesting happens in december we see a spike in the number of migrants coming up toward the united states we're seeing numbers that are higher than even before the pandemic began and we have heard those speculations that this could be in part due to the more quote unquote relaxed

policies by the by did ministration and that very well could be the case but we also have to remember that a lot of the conditions that were leading to people or driving people out of their countries in central america extreme poverty widespread violence political instability these are things that have improved you could argue that they've actually been exacerbated by the coded 1000 pandemic now you couple that with 2 back to back hurricanes that slammed into the region late last year in november in honduras alone this resulted in more than a 1000000 people being displaced you put all of these factors together and you start to get a better picture of what's really driving this increase in migrant numbers over the course of the last few months fulvia thanks very much bono republic correspondent in mexico city. still ahead here on al-jazeera 1st covert 19 now a bowler the rush to stall new outbreak from crossing african borders. minerals antique movement mourns the loss of a young protester who died after being shot those stories after the break.

key to saving the planet getting out president truman announced the u.s. is withdrawing from the paris accord in 2017 however due to a strict exit timetable stipulated in the agreement the us only officially withdrew 3 and a half years later the day off the truck lost the election nonetheless it was an announcement symbolic of the irreversible damage wrought on the planet by the us over the last 4 years it did have incredible ramifications domestically and globally we are on an actual emergency trying to scale we need to actually transition our dire buttress at least a step by 80 percent reductions in missions by 20 or so every day that we are writing that we are exacerbating the climate emergency. parasitical agreed to by the obama administration in 2015 committed the us to a 28 percent cut their greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by 2025 at the

time scientists said it was an inadequate pledge if the goal was keeping the global temperature from rising over 2 degrees celsius from pre-industrial times and a larger rise and planetary catastrophe is predicted now it may also take several years to reverse trumps regulatory rollbacks crucial time for the pilot doesn't have biden visions of called the neutral us by 2050 but given the damage of the last 4 years members of congress argue biden will have to take bold action himself . i think it might be a good idea for president biden to call a climate emergency. because they are neat and it's relates to what you're saying then he can do many many things under the emergency powers of the president that wouldn't have to go through that he could do without we're just lation now trump used this emergency for a stupid war which was an emergency but if there ever was an emergency climate is one. the president could end fracking or kick start the u.s.

is alternative energy industry through executive action far quicker than it would take for congress to formulate legislation sound every day the u.s. delays the closer the earth is to catastrophe yes using presidential are not congressional power means that a future president not concerned with climate change could reverse biden's policies but proponents of declaring a climate emergency argue that if the focus of the executive actions is to fundamentally change the u.s. economy and infrastructure the impact of those policies may not be reversed. al-jazeera washington. democratic republic of congo has confirmed another 2 cases of a bowler one of which is far from the center of its outbreak 6 infections have been confirmed overall and the world health organization says that they are see more than 8000 vaccinations available at the w.h.o. the u.s.
