9:00 pm
around the influence here, i am going to cover all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike and it's my job to shed light on how and why me . ready this is al jazeera ah hello from bill. how are you in with the news are coming up for you in the next 60 minutes. the us special invoice, a hazy resign saying his government's treatments and deportation of refugees is in humane wildfires. loving crowds and other extreme weather events at affecting every consciousness. the un secretary general presses member states to take bolder action
9:01 pm
on climate change risk threats to security, showing no sign overland saying le polymers, volcanoes will rivers of lava and destruction. and africa displaced by war are assured they can safely go home, but many have nothing to return to. i'm far as small as the ford will be live in wisconsin for the ryder cup plot. tensions rise between form one title, rivals the head of the russian grand prix. all the details later, the sour, ah, be with special envoy for hazy, has resigned over what he calls the inhumane treatment of haitian migrants by the us government's in the statements. daniel foot said the policy of deporting thousands of grants and refugees is counterproductive and deeply flawed this. we
9:02 pm
can't just say, republished footage, showing us board regents on horseback trying to force people back to bite this ministration is using a trump era policy to justify these mass deportations. baxa hazy but are doing so a foster pace or responding to foods resignation. the white house says he never raised concerns about migration policies for press that country gen saki, after that president biden is taking the issue seriously. when he has asked all of us to convey clearly to people who are understandably, have questions, are passionate or concerned. as we are about the images that we have seen is one, we feel those images are horrible and heretic. there is an investigation. the president certainly supports overseen by the the department of homeland security, which he has conveyed. what will happen quickly. i can also convey to you that the secretary also conveyed to civil rights leaders earlier this morning that we would
9:03 pm
no longer be using horses in del rio. so that is something a policy change that has been made and response. well, we'll get the latest for mental rapid in mexico shortly on the situation on the great and 1st the let's head straight to washington d. c. where we can speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly alcott. kimberly what, what can we make of this response by the white haze because it's rather unusual. is it no the if we go by what chance sac he said the 1st the parents of this is where the the, the special invoice resigns, the high portable is that well you what you heard there is gen saki having to be the face of this? well, the u. s. president joe biden remains in the shadows and that was one of the questions about why the president hasn't come forward to condemn the images that al jazeera obtained exclusively, and made public and have gone viral to the world that have prompted this policy.
9:04 pm
change that you heard her discussing there just now, not only is the department of homeland security as a result of al jazeera reporting, abandoning the use of horseback for border patrol, but as well they are now also going to be investigating those individuals caught rounding up patient migrants with reigns now with respect to the policy itself, the white house press secretary really struggled to explain to reporters that there was in their view daylight between the biden administration's immigration policy and the trump administration policy. but as these images and the growing crisis on the southern board of the united states and mexico, as the images continue to really tell a different story, that this is a crisis that is not under control. and that the white house press secretary and
9:05 pm
the biden and ministration is really failing to take responsibility for in the press briefing, what we heard repeatedly were questions about the policy, how this is different from the prior administration. and instead of really kind of taking responsibility for this, what we heard was the blaming of not only the special envoy for not raising these concerns about the haitian deportations earlier. but we also heard a blaming of the smugglers who are taking advantage of the chaos and profiting out of off of human misery. so it appears that the white house is struggling to get control of this narrative. and same time is struggling to evenly apply its immigration policy. given the fact that as we see haitians being sent back to a country that is unstable, that has experience crisis and enormous corruption. what we've also seen as a welcoming of those that have come from very similar circumstances in afghanistan
9:06 pm
and central america. so the questions continue of the white house and the biden administration, the white house press secretary doing her best to answer those questions. but it's clear that frustration is growing and mounting, and there are increasing demand for president biden to come to the bully pulpit is it's often called to speak an answer to this himself. ok, kimberly, how could i bring it up to date on developments in washington? d. c a. kimberly. thank you very much. and these last had across the mexico city and i will, we can speak with al jazeera as a manuel, rap hello, and money. you've been following this journey, that many, many people are making a low, a dangerous journey. it has to be said from various countries in latin america up towards the united states, just water conditions, like what are these people facing and their quest to try and reach america?
9:07 pm
we've all seen the images at this point. these disturbing pictures of men on horseback border patrol mistreating migrants rounding them up like cattle. but really that only paints a part of this larger picture. this larger a panorama of a, of a migrant crisis. that really is not only out of the control of the united states, but out of control of all the countries that a part are participating in migrant policy. trying to get ahold of this situation. i'll give you an example. just last week we were in the city of tampa shuler in southern mexico. it's a city that's about 50 kilometers north of mexico's border with guatemala. and the estimates that we were hearing on the number of migrants that were stuck there into but she was as many as a 100000. now the vast majority of them from haiti telling us that they've been stuck in southern mexico for months after traveling for weeks or even months from other parts of the american continent like brazil. and sheila, now we use the term stuck because this is really been the policy by the mexican government. we hear this, the criticism of hard line us immigration policy,
9:08 pm
the deportation flight to haiti, but make the mexican government has also been heavily criticized for documented cases of abuse and mistreatment of migrants as well as this policy of containment that prevents migrants from leaving southern mexico from leaving and trying to look heading north toward the united states. now that's faced a lot of criticism for 2 reasons. one is created, one of the biggest bottlenecks for migrants on the american continent were not only talking about haitian migrants. we met people there from venezuela, from colombia, from west africa, of course, from central america. but the, this is also been criticized because it's having a negligible impact on the actual number of micros heading north toward the united states. now what we've seen here over the past few days is that more and more haitians are coming to mexico city to the mexican capital seeking legal paperwork to remain here in mexico after watching the news of what's happening on the us mexico border, fearing that if they try their luck, heading north toward the us mexico border. they too could face deportation. have
9:09 pm
a look waiting outside in immigration office in mexico city. 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 processed. what criteria border patrol is using to say, who should have access to parole?
9:10 pm
who is going on the deportation flight. they've got to go up this week. images of us border patrol agents on horseback mistreating haitian migrants provoked international outrage. agents captured on video by al jazeera, have been placed under investigation human rights observers, warren, that conditions for migrants 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. 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 arrived daily. and these last month,
9:11 pm
the number of haitian people living in mexico has increased drastically. this is interesting because haitians are not arriving directly from haiti and said many are traveling from far away as brazil. and sheila, international observers ward that nasty port stations could overwhelm haiti as thousands, return to the same cycle of violence, poverty, and political instability that forced them to leave in the 1st place. manuel did up a little al jazeera mexico city. un faculty general has warned climate change of escalating to the point that it threatens to intensify the wealth conflicts until the terrace addressed a security council meeting on climate and security. he said dwindling resources like water will exacerbate fighting's and we fighting in regions that are already on stable. kristen silly me is the united nations and that she joins. as i kristen is quite
9:12 pm
a stern warning there for the un sacristy general. what else do we know that came out of that meeting? well, climate has been a major topic at the general debate this year in speeches and meetings in this meeting. and the security council really attempted to show the link between climates and conflict. it was hosted by ireland, which was the presidency of the security council right now. and they made the point that 80 percent of the un peacekeeping forces are deployed in areas where cons, where climate issues are exacerbating conflict. they mentioned south sudan and ethiopia, where drought is leading to food insecurity and exacerbating tensions. but when in the security council, it was clear that china and russia take a different approach to some other members of the council who argue that the because climate is a threat to international peace and security, that council should have some say over how the international community react to it
9:13 pm
much more hesitation on that front from china and russia. china, of course being the number one emitter of coal and consumer of cool in the world. but that said, we are seeing a lot of discussion and new commitments on reducing carbon emissions coming out of this general debate this year in china for one has promised not to build any new factories overseas. that will, that are cool factories, for example. so everyone is agreeing that climate is an issue, but just some push and pull in terms of the authority of the security council in dealing with that issue. and how far some countries are willing to go ahead of that big meeting in about 6 weeks time in glasgow, where the world must come together. if it's going to stay on target with the climate agreement that was signed in paris, that will, that the climate has, as he secret submitted, a dominant theme, the general assembly. but the,
9:14 pm
the orchestra, or cas new august packs, and the french submarine contracts. it has been something of an unimportant distraction as well to proceed. things. there has been a day tones of, of sorts between france and the united states. the foreign ministers did manage to meet on the sidelines. the general assembly will came out of that meeting. i mean, it is one friends again and i were still rather frosty between the sea. well look, i think secretary of state anthony blanket has a difficult job here on the global stage, and particularly what the french he did meet with his french counterparts. his own e luxury all out the french mission to the united nations here in new york. and apparently they had a cordial discussion and discussed ways of restoring trust moving forward. but the read out that came out of that meeting from the french side was that it is going to
9:15 pm
be a long road ahead look, the united states joe biden, president came to his 1st general assembly and he talked about the importance of being able to work with other nations to solve the biggest issues are in the planet on the planet from climate to coven. but at the same time, he's coming off a radical quick withdrawal from afghanistan that took many of the world, the nation's closest allies by surprise in the way it was played out. there's still bad feelings about the united states leaving the iran deal under president trump. so blink, and not only with the french, but with a lot of allies here at the united nations, has some ground to make ups for as it attempts to convince the the globe in the international community that it is committed to a multilateral process to deal with some of these major issues. we'll take us and leave me. they're charging if i from the united nations. kristen, thank you very much. indeed for keeping up the face on that. we appreciate it.
9:16 pm

9:20 pm
facing an unfolding tragedy. well as close life to la palmer where nicholas huck joins us from nick, this is an evolving a situation where you are just talk us through what's happening right now. well, how if you look right behind me, it's still it's still spewing love, but it has actually intensified in the last hour. we were at a quite a distance away and we saw this massive cloud, a billowing cloud like a mushroom giant cloud, as people observed worryingly what was happening. so we, we spoke to some of the, some of the experts, some of the vulcan ologist that are on the ground here. they say that that is a normal stage. it's a new phase in, in the, in the reduction of this volcano. so early on from sunday to today,
9:21 pm
we saw all this acting like a blow torch and saw, you know, liquid rock being thrown into the air. now it's, the crater is much bigger and the force of it has intensified. what people are worried is a cloud above us. i mean, you can see already you can feel the air smell as it normally should, the ground, it's filled with a sheet of ash and it from a distance. well, it is quite a scene, it's just a huge cloud. worry for the villages that are on, on the line of this law of the 12 meter high law, but that's flowing towards the river. but there's a fear of whether or not they will need to be evacuated. i spoke to one of the mayor of one of these towns that's on the pathway of the, of this love of that expected to, to hit the ocean. he's, he's concerned about what happens next, but he's also concerned about the,
9:22 pm
the lack of information of what actually is happening wealth. the governments of, of spain is trying to inform the population as much as possible, trying to reassure this is a fast moving situation, where from one minute to another, people are asked to be evacuated. they have very little time to gather their basic belonging and how you have to remember from one day to another. on sunday, we saw people's homes, entire life, their entire lifetimes, belonging just reduced to ashes. and right now it's a situation where people are trying to assess what's happening, where they're not to evacuate people and to figure out how toxic the air is actually is right now. now, the emergency services says there is a level of sulfur dioxide in the air, but it is tolerable. it is not dangerous, but the fear is once the lava moves in towards the ocean, and there'll be some sort of reaction this lava that's a 1000 degrees centigrade. hitting this ocean, that's at 14 degrees century,
9:23 pm
there'll be an immediate reaction and more toxic chemicals into thrown into the air . now this, this has already effected the, the economy here, not just tourism, but what i'm talking about the banana plantations, and many people rely on, we've seen these farmlands and these bad and banana plantation covered with ash this. they've already suffered from a spell of drought, and before that there was a tremendous fire last year. and it feels for them that this situation in their circumstances is getting from bad to worse. and there's also a sense that they're going to have to live in what is their new normal surrounded by fire, and ash, a changing climate as how people here describe it, a change in climate that's unpredictable. and that has intensified in the way that it is acting towards the population here. holla, okay, a very challenging situation. where you are, nick,
