6:02 pm
of migrants and refugees came to productive and deeply flawed. so this fall, i raged this week after al jazeera future showed us board the agents on horseback chasing people back as they attempted to enter the country where the bite administration is. you think a trauma, a policy to justify must be 14 back to hazy, but at a faster pace. we're going to get the latest form, manuel up a low in mexico shortly 1st. let's have st. washington d. c. where we can speak our white house correspondent, kimberly, how could i, kimberly, this is fairly astonishing stuff from the list that the former ambassador to have see. i mean, it's the kind of thing that we would expect to see from the previous administration . not the biden administration, i was responding to these accusations of any humane treatment by the us
6:03 pm
government's you've pointed out, the obvious hypocrisy that we have been seeing from biden administration, immigration policy, that the words and the gestures and the public statements sound all in very nice but the actions don't seem to be following up the letter of resignation by the now former special envoy to haiti, daniel foot, particularly singing and critical of this immigration policy pointing out the hypocrisy. not only does he call it in humane, but he talks about haiti being a country where american officials, who work to implement this policy are confined to secure compounds because of the danger posed by armed gangs in control of daily life. now this is a question about how this policy is being implemented that has been brought up
6:04 pm
repeatedly at the white house press briefings. the press secretary gen saki struggling to explain why the policy that is allowing for mass deportations because of cope with 19 that was put in place by the trump administration, due to cov, at 19 why this is not being reversed, given the fact that so many other trump policies were reversed by the by the ministration on day one. she has struggled to do so. she is also struggled to make the argument about why the, by the ministration extended temporary protective status for roughly a 150000 patients were currently in the united states. but the ones that have shown up at the border are being rounded up and sent back. and again to underscore those photos that were made public by al jazeera of haitians who are tried to claim asylum status, who have been rounded up by border agents. and supposedly whipped by the
6:05 pm
reins of the horse apparatus there. how this is the humane immigration policy that the biden administration promised it is rather striking. not just the images of the, almost like the, the old wild dog where cowboys last feeling people and the boards, which was frankly astonishing in the 21st century. but that certainly the fact you point to the us are saying one thing and they're sticking to pretty much the, the trump. so play. but what does all this, this entire unseemly episode? what does it reveal about the us immigration system and immigration policy in the united states right now? to be fair. this is an issue that has been just getting worse with each year. this is something that has been something that a stymied members of congress for about a generation going 20 years back. there was almost
6:06 pm
a deal to try and resolve the immigration system and the fact that there were so many living illegally in the united states. but it was held up in congress, and since then, congress hasn't been able to strike any more deals to try and resolve this problem . so what's happened is that things have only gotten worse. now we should point out that even as joe biden has taken office, it has gotten especially worse because the promises that have been made that things would be kinder that they would be more humane. have resonated not just for central americans on the southern board of the united states and mexico, but around the world because what we're seeing now is central americans coming, but also patients and, and even people, as far with asia, are now flying to mexico and other central american countries and then joining, trying to make that dangerous track. so the bottom line is in all of this, what so many americans and people around the world are trying to understand is how the united states could on the heels of welcoming tens of thousands of african
6:07 pm
refugees could be allowing in be accompanied miners from central america. could then be turning away those that have originated from haiti that the problem is, is that this seems to be a country based system versus an individual based system. and that is led to the resignation. now of the person that was advocating these very policies to haiti, the special envoy, daniel foot. okay, kimberly hall there lie for us in washington dc complete. thank you very much indeed. let me speak with manuel raffles. he joins us now from mexico, city and money. you've been following the stories of these people who be making these dangerous journeys. the long track northwards towards the united states. just give us a sense of what conditions these people because they are people at the end of the day. give us a sense of what these people are, are going through to try and get to the us and are these government policies making
6:08 pm
any kinds of difference when it comes to their decision to make that dangerous trip? that's right. holla, i think it's worth talking about the scale of this migrant crisis because we're seeing these images that have been playing on repeat this, this week of the border patrol agents on horseback whipping migrants mistreating migrants on the, on the border between the united states and mexico. that is only part of this larger migrant crisis. we were in the city of up at shula and southern mexico last week where we encountered anywhere between 35000 and maybe some of the estimates are as high as a 100000 migrants. many of them are haitians and we talk about these criticisms of, of us immigration policy. we heard kimberly, outlining just now of the many criticisms of how this is playing out how this policy is being implemented. well, there's also heavy criticism of immigration policy being enforced here. in mexico, there have been documented cases of immigration agents here in mexico, mistreating migrants as well. and part of this larger immigration strategy by the
6:09 pm
mexican government is to contain migrants on the southern border of mexico. the border with guatemala. and what this is done is created one of the biggest bottlenecks for migrants on the american continent. we're not only talking about haitian migrants who do at this point account for the vast majority of the people that are stuck in southern mexico. some telling us that they've been stuck there for, for, for months traveling from as far in south america as sheila and brazil. but we're also encountering migrants from that as well. of course, from central america and migrants from, from west africa as well. and what we're seeing right now, playing out here, mexico city, for example, is more haitian migrants arriving in the mexican capital. who have seen these images play out on the news of what's happening to haitian migrants on the northern border of the border between mexico and the united states. and they're afraid that if they continue that journey north, they're going to end up getting deported as well. take a look waiting outside in immigration office in mexico city,
6:10 pm
these haitian migrants have decided it safer to asked to stay here rather than risk crossing the us border. i'm hearing people are being deported to high 3 and right now high t is very bad. they don't have a president. there are many things, so we can't go there. that's why i'm afraid, and i want to live here in mexico. in recent days, the u. s. has been sending more migrants back home following the arrival of thousands of haitian nationals on the us mexico border. but not all are being repatriated. many who have crossed in the state of texas have been given paperwork and a day to appear in the us immigration court though there's. ready confusion about how authorities decide who goes and who states. right now, it's not clear how they are being process. what criteria border patrol is using to say, who should have access to parole? who is going on the port taishan flight. they've got too many go off this week. images of us border patrol agents on horseback mistreating haitian migrants
6:11 pm
provoked international outrage. agents captured on video by al jazeera, have been placed under investigation human rights observers. more in that condition for migrant on the mexican side of the border are even more challenging and immigration agents here in mexico have also been accused of abusing migrate. more haitian migrants are expected to arrive in mexico's capital in the days and weeks ahead. there were too many are going to abandon the north and come down here to the city in search of new opportunities. so i think that migration will continue to increase and we, the 30s must do something to provide the solution that the case requires elsewhere in northern mexico, people are rounded up in immigration rates and sent south towards the border with guatemala, where more migrants from haiti, and elsewhere in latin america arrive daily. and these last month, the number of haitian people arriving and mexico has increased drastically. this is interesting because haitians are not arriving directly from haiti,
6:12 pm
and instead many are traveling from far away as brazil. and sheila, international observers ward that mass deportations could overwhelm haiti as thousands, return to the same cycle of violence, poverty, and political instability that forced them to leave the 1st place. manuel did up a little, al, jazeera, mexico city. the united nation sexy general has told the security council that ought to take actions to stop the effects of climate change worse than in conflicts . you made the comment sort of special session on climate change and warning for twiddling resources are unlikely to exacerbate tensions in already unstable regions . the secretary general says the counsels members could take measures the kinds of rank those problems bumps. they are running off time or window of opportunity to prevent the worst climate impacts is rapidly closing. no region is immune.
6:13 pm
wildfires, flooding routes, and other city weather events affecting every continents. first, we need an ambiguous commitment and credible actions by all countries to limit the global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius to avert the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. i address member states to show more ambition in their national contributions by cop 26 and to translate their commitments into concrete and the media. the section i will let says, thinking out of their diplomatic ads, their james base joins us no lie from the united nations. and james climate change very much back on the agenda today. what are we expecting to come out of these meetings? well, the security council meeting has now concluded the security council talking about the link between climate change and conflict. and certainly the secretary general of the united nation says there is a big link he says in the future will be, was that caused by the climate crisis. he says, right now, it's
6:14 pm
a factor in some of the current conflicts. for example, in south saddam, he says some of the fighting there, some of the local fighting that is taking place and policy don is over. i gra, cultural resources and the fact that it's a country that has floods and also droughts. and certainly that point was backed up by many attending this high level security council meeting. we had a president, we have prime ministers, we had foreign ministers. the irish prime minister was chairing the meeting calling for a new special representative. the 2nd general to deal with this very issue calling for new security council resolution on this issue. the problem with that, and that's that to members of the security council on that permanent members, china and russia do not agree with this strategy. in fact, china and russia didn't have a foreign minister here, even though the russian foreign minister was in the building this morning. he didn't attend the security council meeting at both countries. said members of that team that are probably based here in new york. it didn't mean send ambassadors to
6:15 pm
this meeting and that's because they say the climate change and conflict are 2 different issues. they're both very important, but they don't need to be linked. that point was addressed by the us secretary of state. we have to stop debating whether the climate crisis belongs in the security council, and instead ask how the council can leverage its unique powers to tackle the negative impacts of climate on peace and security. that's an argument that should have been settled a long time ago. look at almost every place where you see threats to international peace and security today. and you'll find that climate change is making things less peaceful, less secure, and rendering our response even more challenging. and james, this all chris full lights and submarine deals of also bit overshadowing a lot of the diplomacy in the meetings that have been going on during the un general assembly. but we do understand that anthony, blinking on his french can support you need literally all have met. have we learned
6:16 pm
any more about this wrap rushman between the french and the us? there is still some distance between them. i think there's still a little wary of each other. what we've heard over the last week or so. this news of a meeting is only just being confirmed in the last few minutes. we understand from what has been released by the by the french side. mr. live, do you know, met secretary state blinking, interesting, where the meeting took place. it took place at the french mission to the united nations. so the french, i think, made, made the u. s. come to them, which i think shows again a little bit of contrition, which we saw in the statement that came out from the white house 24 hours ago after that phone call between president biden. and president macro. yes. that meeting they're talking again. these are close allies, they have to do business. they were both in the un security council that iran for
6:17 pm
that meeting on time, it, and conflict. but i think there'll be some mistrust that wasn't there in the past. and that's why you're going to see another beating a higher level, perhaps more important meeting between president michael and president biden, that both supposed to be in the same place anyway at the end of october because it's the g 20 meeting. and they're both members of course of the g 20. so that will be meeting we think in rome, more effort, i think, to rebuild this diplomatic relationship which has suffered, i think, some serious damage and i think it will be lasting damage. it'll take some time. i think for them to get back to where they were before last week. ok, james base that bring us up to date from the united nations and new york. thank you, james. millions of people across the us will soon receive a 3rd dose suffices call. with 19 vaccine us regulators approve booster shots for high risk groups. on wednesday, american $65.00 and older and high risk individuals will be eligible for
