horseback trying to force people by as they attempted to enter the country from mexico. the us border control chief described their actions as unacceptable thousands of haitian migrants remain in the rear. where the biden administration is using a trumpet policy to justify mass, the port ations back to haiti. us special envoy. haiti has quit over the treatment of haitian migrants in abruptly worded resignation letter to sexual state. antony bring can daniel foot wrote that he will not be associated with the united states in humane counterproductive decision to deport thousands of haitian refugees and illegal immigrants to haiti. he wrote the u. s. policy approach to haiti remains deeply flawed, and his recommendations had been ignored and dismissed. food said, surging migration to the u. s. borders would only grow as the u. s. ads to haiti's unacceptable. misery. responding to full resignation the white house as he never
12:03 am
raised concerns about migration policies. but 1st sector j sack, he added that president biden was taking the issue seriously. what he has asked all of us to convey clearly to people who are understandably, have questions are passionate, are 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 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 no longer be using horses in del rio. so that is something a policy change that has been made in response. she returns is live in washington d. c. so lucky on the corner of pressure there. it's a very difficult position for her because on the one hand she sang trumps immigration policies were in humane and yet the bite administration is doing everything it can to retain
12:04 am
a core principle of trumps in humane policies. as far as immigration advocates are concerned, which is this title 42. and it's very difficult to have both at the same time. in fact, fucking was immensely misleading. and a lot of a lot of our answers as often is actually when it comes to it comes to immigration . so for example, should look up in the we're in the panoramic, we still have title 42. the reason we still have title 42 is the bite administration has been fighting tooth and nail in the courts to reject any legal challenge for title 40 to title 42 with a student by the trump administration. and been a long held plan of steven miller, one of the most right wing, anti immigration advises of donald trump, which was to use an obscure decades old public health law. to say, look, immigrants are bringing in disease. so that's what we're going to shut down, shut down the southern border. this is even before the pandemic once upon demik hit, the trunk administration also centers for disease control to put this into place. and at the time the scientist said, let us know scientific basis, and it's completely thousands across the board all the time. we know we have, we have measures in place to prevent the pandemic from, from spreading but,
12:05 am
and so they didn't do it until they were directly ordered by the white house institute, title, 42 or else. and that's not what the byte administration continues continues to defend. and the other part of the, in the rather questionable statements, which i'm sorry, what you're saying. but you know, these people are just coming over illegally and therefore, therefore they don't deserve process. i mean that's, that's holds misstatement of us integration with an international law when it comes to assign them. because when it comes to asylum seekers or all those who are potentially fit, fearing persecution can apply for asylum, that's just international and u. s. law. and i did what, because the crossing is river and out that are at a proper, proper crossing point before we should be, we were able to throw them out. it's simply not true and honest. think we would hear from, from the, from the trump white house. so, i mean, it was there are decades decades of under investment in the process off of dealing with immigration and asylum seekers in the u. s. humanely. and that's been
12:06 am
a feature of administration off administration. and we know that gender obama, remember his main main policy was to deport everyone. he was still the deport. and chief, he devoted more people than the old trumpet, his 1st in his 1st term. so that, that's still a problem. there's also a problem with bite and doesn't want to seem weak on immigration. so therefore, using any, any rhetorical method can even when i simply not true to defend the by policy right, by while still trying to appear more humane than donald trump. what about the resignation of the haitian and what? how damaging is that for the button administration? what a letter is often that you read a letter that's so dominant it wasn't just about what, what the envoy called the or the inhumane expulsion of patients. many of them have never lived in a she hated potentially dr. haiti, but it was about decades of us policy. and the implication from him was that i was brought him and it was actually a request from members of congress to be
12:07 am
a special day. i was born to look at, look at the underlying causes of instability in haiti and why we have refugee problems every now and then from hating and so on. and the gist of it is, i mean, completely ignored, as far as the bite and ministration it's business, as usual, most recently now with joe biden, and the white house completely supporting our home re as prime minister, despite so much civil society with an haiti saying no we don't want this man, but once again in the letter, you always says you're doing this again. you're picking, you're picking your winners here in haiti, and that's why we always get catastrophe. and hatred doesn't have self determination. so it was a immensely damming dining letter on bite was why do haitian problem which the invoice says is going to lead to ever more refugees? small just across america, but across the region and catastrophe. she returns you. thank you very much. indeed . many of the haitians who was taking refuge in the us and now decided to abandon, hopes of migration. they're in favor of staying in mexico and rapid reports from
12:08 am
mexico city waiting outside an immigration office in mexico city. these haitian migrants have decided it safer to ask to stay here, rather than risk crossing the us border. i'm hearing people are being deported to high 3 and right now high p, it's 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 the date 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?
12:09 am
who is going on the d port taishan flight of 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 margaret. more haitian migrants are expected to arrive in mexico's capital in the days and weeks ahead. there's. ringback 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 thirty's 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
12:10 am
these last month, the number of haitian people arriving 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 mass p for taishan 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, up a little al jazeera mexico city. many undocumented migrants travelling in the opposite direction on a hiring journey which in bows, crossing the most arid desert on earth. thousands of colombians, haitians, peruvians and venezuelans escaping poverty and violence at home are risking their lives to reach chile. she knew reports who called china and chile on what it's like to cross the at a comma desert. this is the oldest, driest and the highest non polar desert in the world. according to nasa,

12:12 am
peru. and then from the livia into chile, the final destination got to think of, i said it took me almost 5 months to get here. i was robbed and had to walk from beryl. they're grateful for the bag of fruit were able to give them. they say they've had nothing to eat for at least 3 days and almost no water or money. so they keep walking in the direction of chillies, capital trump dazel, another 2000 kilometer south. this is another tell tale sign that my grants have passed by here. it looks like they came here for shelter spent the night in this adobe dwelling that's used by the sheepherders. the lama heard us during the spring and the summer. what they did after that was to start getting rid of what they were carrying. and we see this all along the road because is simply too exhausted to carry their things any longer. 17 year old horse, she has only kept a sheet. his feet are cracking for walking so much. at the 1st jillian border,

a magnet for criminals to prey on undocumented migrants who are not legally allowed to be in chilly, yet they keep coming, driven by desperation to make money to send to those left behind at home. it's like a gold rush, with no guarantee that the risk will be worth it to see and human al jazeera, called chinese chinney. earlier the united nation sector general told the security council that it must take action to stop the effects of climate change worsening conflicts. and tony, who tears wound that dwindling resources are likely to exacerbate tensions in already unstable regions. and council members are running out of time to act or window of opportunity to prevent the worst climate impacts is rapidly closing. no region is immune. wildfires loving routes and other city weather events affecting every continents. first, we need an ambiguous commitment and credible actions by all countries to limit the
12:15 am
global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius to avert the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. i added all member states to show more ambition in their national contributions by cop 26 and to translate their commitments into concrete and the media action. ok, assume is live at the united nations about whether any concrete measures to emerge from this meeting. this is more of a thematic debate, continuing on a major concern for the united nations during this year's general assembly, a major topic, a major theme. we just heard the secretary general driving home. the point that major action needs to be taken. this is the lead up to the big climate conference being held in glasgow, scotland. 0 in early november and the secretary general and many other leaders have been trying to rile up the international community to make more commitments. in
12:16 am
this case, it was a security council meeting and it was more of a thematic to be trying to get the council to think of new ways that it can address the problem. and we've heard council members, ireland, in particular, who hosted this meeting as the president of the security council saying that because climate is such a threat to international peace and security that gives the counsel space to act on it. and they're pointed to places like south sudan and ethiopia, where drought famine, conditions, and so on are leading to food insecurity and worsening conflicts. in fact, some 80 percent of un peacekeepers are deployed to areas that are having such problems that are exacerbating the, those conflicts according to ireland. so this was more of a discussion, but not everyone in the council was on board with the security council taking a more active role in the climate issue. while everyone agreed that climate is
12:17 am
a risk and a problem that needs to be addressed. china and russia took the approach that it is a subject that should be for the entire world to discuss at cop as opposed to the security council that it's not in their purview. if you well, chris's really thank you very much. are still to come on this news from london. no, we'll be taking to a news conference. 70 yes, extra estate antony blinking. he'll be talking about to a meeting various meetings you've had on the sidelines of the general assembly. and the union is warning the world war must be done to stop the conflict in me and mob before it's too late. foster you unveils plan to force phone makers to have a common charging port for all devices to reduce a waste. and as for talking this road world championships are on their way to africa for the 1st time. ah,

12:21 am
in tackling the great challenges of our time. allows us to strengthen the rules and institutions that have helped defend our values and events. our interests for, for many years, and all of that ultimately is crucial to when it comes down to trying to deliver for the american people, which is the animating principle behind our foreign policy. it's strictly important that we show up when some are trying to change the rules and principles at the core of the united nations, which all member states are bound themselves to, including the most powerful countries. they agreed out of a shared recognition that this would ultimately serve, not only amenities, interests, but their own, and that remains true today. they also agree that eventually human rights and dignity was a core part of this enterprise. and that these rights are universal,
12:22 am
not subjective values to barry from one society to another. and they rejected the claim that we sometimes here today, that the way governments treat people within their borders is their own business. now that doesn't mean that when we engage we, we always agree, especially in a form as big as the united nations. but we engage because we recognize that as president by and put it. there is a fundamental truth in the 21st century that our own success is bound up with others succeeding as well to deliver for our own people to confront what are truly global challenges in our time, we simply have to work together with other countries. so that's why you see in the united states making such a determined effort to revitalize alliances and partnerships. we've reaffirmed our unshakable commitment to nato and in particular the article 5 as well as our defensive, our allies. in the stage we're renewing,
12:23 am
we're broadening reducing engagement with the european union and elevating the quad partnership where we engaging with regional institutions for marcia to the african union to the organization of american states. and of course we're revitalizing our gage meant here at the us. we rejoined the world health organization, the parents climate agreement, we're seeking, you see that the human rights council. we've engaged with the us population fund, the u. n. l g b t i corporate we are determined to be at the table and we are and that's why you saw our team engaging in what president biden called relentless diplomacy this week. i think by the end of today i will have met with more than 60 countries in bilateral, regional or multilateral groupings, including the g 20 p 5. gotcha. and the v. c. c, c 5, my counterparts in central america and mexico and across all of these diplomatic engagements. so this week, 2 challenges stood out above the rest. the 1st is called the 1900. at the summit
12:24 am
that the president can mean yesterday. he announced new commitments by the united states to end this pandemic, including purchasing an additional half a 1000000000 additional doses of the pfizer seen. that brings the number of safe effective doses. the united states will donate to more than 1100000000. and without any strings attached, we are also laser focused on getting the international community to work together toward 3 critically important goals. first, we have to vaccinate billions more people, and do it as fast as we can. fully vaccinating at least 70 percent of the population in every country. at every income level. by the end of the next year 2020 to 2nd. we have to take bold steps right now to save lots from expanding access to oxygen and therapeutics to treat the sick, to closing massive gaps in testing capacity. and 3rd,
12:25 am
we have to build back better when it comes to global health security. to end this pandemic and put ourselves in a better position to prevent, to detect, to defeat the next one. so the message that we've been sending is clear, it's not enough to say that we will do better our health, our economies, our security demand, that we meet our commitments and start a path to understand once for all. and we're going to see every opportunity to advance that effort, including the upcoming g 20 meeting, holding ourselves and the international community, accountable to these commitments that we set out at the summit. and to help keep up the momentum, the president's instruction. i'll be convening foreign ministers for meeting on coven, 1900. before the end of the year, the president, himself will host, has a state at on the pandemic in early, in the early part of next year, 2022. the 2nd big challenges, the kinds of crisis we are only weeks away now from cub 26. and if we're going to
12:26 am
prevent cataclysmic consequences and keep within reach the essential goal of living, global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. every nation has to come to the table with their highest possible ambitions. and we have ways to go. i had the opportunity to take part this morning, the security council in a session on climate and security. the focus of which is a recognition of the profound impact this crisis having on international peace and security on climate as what the pandemic were continuing to lead by the power of our example. as was evident in president biden's pledge at the general assembly to work with our congress to double our public international financing for the countries most impacted by climate change to help them build resilience to adapt. building on levels that he had already doubled back in april. and yet, when it comes to both the pandemic and climate, the international response isn't as aggressive as it needs to be. and that's what
12:27 am
we were trying and continue to work hard to emphasize here this week. and in the, in the days and weeks ahead. now, some might be tempted to blame that on the united nations and other multilateral bodies. but as richard holbrooke one said, blaming the un for the world's problems is like blaming madison square garden when the next are not playing very well. whether the international community rises, the challenge of our time, whether it's covered, whether it's climate, whether it's the many other challenges we discuss here this week. it ultimately always comes down to whether governments, like ours, step up and bring others along with us. that's again why it's so important to the united states to show up, to engage and lead over the course of the week. we've course of the up for you to engage on many other critically important issues. livia burma, the iran nuclear program, dpr k, syria, ethiopia,
12:28 am
regional migration. the list goes on here. it's worth noting that you want high level. we take a tremendous amount of work from every single part of the state department, every, every meeting statement. every briefing requires planning analysis, execution not to mention close coordination with other parts of the us government involved in the effort. and i've got to say as we conclude, my own participation here that our team has consistently delivered and i'm grateful to them for that. so i just want to say thank you to every member of our team for everything they did to make this week effective and for their service to our fellow citizens every single day. before wrapping up, let me just add a few words in particular about afghanistan. this was the focus of our discussions at the security council last night with the g 20 as well as in
12:29 am
a number of bilateral and multilateral meetings. across those meetings, we underscored how critical it is that the international community remained united in its approach. taliban continue to seek legitimacy, international support or message show to the international community. is that any legitimacy or support that my thought of the taliban depends on the meeting commitments. they've made interiors, all of which are and try and in a recent you unsecure council resolution, allowing foreign nationals and afghans to travel outside the country if they wish, preventing terrorist groups from using it understand as a base for external operations. the threat and other countries respecting basic human rights, particularly for women, for children, for members of minority groups and refraining from carrying out reprisals, allowing unimpeded mandatory and access, and forming genuine and exclusive government that can meet the basic needs and
12:30 am
reflect aspirations of the people. this is not a favor to the international community. it's a basic requirement for a stable and secure f ganna stand. and as we hold the taliban to these commitments, we're continuing to work with, with other governments, with financial institutions. with n jose to ease the flow of humanitarian assistance to afghan, his life depend on it. and so while hobble week maybe winding down the relentless diplomacy the president talked about, well here the un around the world that continues and it will every single day. one very last point i had the chance to meet today with my french counterpart to really, you know, and we have been at multiple meetings together this week, the p 5, the g 20, the meeting that he hosted with german italian counterparts on libya. our meeting today followed yesterdays conversations between president biden.
