dogs trying to cross the columbia, panama borden, in search of a better mind. they say the only thing left or their expired passport on al jazeera . ah, a relationship of recently test said, but in their 1st face to face meeting, the u. s. and french presidents appear to turn over a new page. ah, hello, i'm barbara sarah. this is al jazeera live from london, also coming up. the climate emergency dominates the agenda, the g 20 summit for the you and chief warns that many environmental pledges may fall short. we meet some of the migrant families of embarked on a desperate journey to the u. s. southern border and caught up in an escalating

dispute. the u. k. in france. trade threads over fishing rights. ah, begin the program in rome, where the u. s. and french presidents have met in person for the 1st time since their country's most serious diplomatic dispute in years show by the like, knowledge, the handling of a recent security agreement with australia and the u. k. had been clumsy. he says he was under the mistaken belief that france had been informed about the deal before it was announced. that agreement forced the cancellation of australia's multi $1000000000.00 deal to buy french submarines. we have no older or no more loyal. distant ally in france. it's been with us in the beginning reason,

in part we came from what we did was quantity was done with a lot of grace. i was under the impression, certain things that happened that had but i mean to clear france read 3. and what's important is precisely to be sure that such a situation will not be possible for all future congo coordinations tango cooperation. but for me, what's important is that we built during the past week, some very concrete actions, node or to strengthen the bother sheep. in the hell. this clarification between what european defense means and how this is completely compatible with nato. what's european sovereignty means and how it's important for global security law. white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has worn out from rome. this was really long anticipated meeting,

given the fact that just weeks ago the united states. and now the creation of the security alliance between the united kingdom, australia and of course the us and in part this arrangement included the sale of nuclear technology at least to power submarines to australia. well, this caused quite a rift between the united states and france for a number of reasons. number one, because france was left in the dark about this deal and it cost the money they had their own deal in place with australia to supply diesel powered submarines. so this was certainly an embarrassment domestically for a manual macro, and also an outrage that he had not been notified about this nor had he been informed that this security partnership or was taking place. so as a result, he pulled his ambassadors from not only australia, but also the united states. they had since been restored. and now this was the 1st

face to face meeting for these leaders. although they did have a very brief phone call to discuss the issue, and as you heard there the u. s. president, once again, underscoring that it was a clumsy error on the part of the united states to really insulted ally as such as france an important ally. and you heard there from emanuel macro, the sort of moving forward. and acknowledging that there is an important relationship despite these mistakes and what matters is what happens in the coming weeks. months and years earlier, you as president biden visited, pope francis at the vatican to discuss the climate crisis and waste the end. the corona virus pandemic, after the 2 day g 20 meeting by didn't, will had the glasgow for the culp 26 you and climate summit. james space reports from room president biden with the pope, a deeply personal and spiritual moment for the u. s. is 2nd ever catholic president,

but also a chance to discuss the most pressing issues at the top of the list, the climate emergency, the biden administration and hope by now to have passed its massive spending legislation, giving the president the ability to match his words on climate with action, but there's been no breakthrough. as the u. s. president toward rome with his motorcade of 85 vehicles, the un secretary general said all roads to success at the climate conference in glasgow in just a few days passed through rome. what is the minimum g 20 countries must deliver at this summit? for there to be a chance of success at cop $26.00 in glasgow. we asked you above what the scientists tell us that are the levels of emission that should be needed in 20, said he, and in 2050. and it is clear that he leads nowhere.

if developed countries will try to blame emerging economies and the emerging economies will try to blame developed countries. these is the moment for everybody to the maximum g. 20 leaders have been arriving in the italian capital, including some like the australian prime minister, scott morrison, and the brazilian president jebel scenario, who faced the most criticism from climate campaigners. a senior un source has told me that the priest summit negotiations conducted by the leaders envoys known sherpas have been extremely difficult. there's been some positive movement on the global distribution of cobra, 19 vaccinations, but on the key issue, the climate emergency has been absolutely no progress. another issue complicating things is the fact that some leaders, notably russia's president putin and china's president, she will not be traveling to rome or glasgow and will be attending this g 20 remotely. james bayes al jazeera rome climate protesters are demanding

financial institutions stop funding. the extraction of fossil fuels activists greater ton berg was at a demonstration outside the london offices of standard chartered bank. it was one of 50 protests across $26.00 countries. just these before world leaders meet for cop 26 to thrush out plans aiming to avert with the un has called a climate catastrophe. hope frances, as urged presidents and prime minister, is heading to glasgow to make radical decisions and offer concrete hope to future generations. there are reminders everywhere of the urgent need to tackle the climate crisis, with more extreme weather events like flooding in sicily and freak storms in melbourne, just in the past few days. and there is increasing concern that poor countries will suffer the worst, even though they often pollute the least. they'll be fighting for money to help those that already find themselves on the front lines of the climate crisis.

michael jacobs is a professor of political economy at the university of sheffield, especially specializing in climate change. he says, richer countries have not kept their promises to assist poor nations. we know that up to 2019 there wasn't enough money flowing from the rich nations. the worlds to poor ones, and by enough i don't mean what actually the poor countries would really like, but what the developed countries had promised as long ago, 2009. and then again, in the purchase agreement, in 2015, the rich nations promised that they would mobilize a $100000000000.00 a year of finance to help poor countries. both reduce their emissions and adapt to the climate change they've already experienced by 2019, however, only $80000000000.00 had been raised per year in that year. so til 20000000 shorts of the of the promise go. now i think it's quite likely now that in glasgow caught

26 in a few days time, we will hear that 100000000000 more has just about been reached or will be reached in the next few days. but many developing countries will say that simply isn't enough. paris said that that should be a floor. we need more than that. when you look at the conditions that many poor countries are experiencing, you can understand their demand for more. ah, it's been almost a week since a large group of migrants set off from the mexican southern border city of tampa. trula aiming to get to mexico city for many, their final journey will be the us. but while passed the caravans as their, as they've become known, have been stopped by mexican authorities. this one has managed to advance. john holman, has more now from southern mexico. ah, it's a tough awakening to the group of more than 3000 people who are moving through

medical foot trying to get to the us after another night spent sleeping on the street. there's a lot of children here. the 7 in the martinez family struggling already, and this is all of us unless we're tired, but the children even more cell one is ill. she's got source, they've all got irritated skin. it must be the sun and the change in the temperature. i like most people in the caravan, the martinez is have come from central america on today. in their case 15 people, 3 generations of their family have fled late to they'll tell us why. like many of this, they arrived quickly at the mexican city of tampa, tula, hoping to then travel through the country to the states, but of forests. he's confined them there for months. now they've managed to get out with what little they can carry. these bags contain all of elvin martinez,

is his wife and free children's possessions. perched on a rickety buggy gal gas thou now what i reckon the wheels might give out at some point today during the walk. i'm right now, this is everything that you have in the world. pretty much. no ali thought, look it in, in soon enough. it's time to head off. the group started before dawn to avoid the south metzger. heat. the only sound a little chatter and the children who can't take it anymore. and despite long lines of cause and taxes to the side of them, no one's going to give them a ride. the mexican government plan this time round seems to be to let people have thoughts but only on foot. and they've set up checkpoint flight this one daily ahead of the caravan to make sure that cars, buses, taxes on picking migrants up. and that way round the migrants in the caravans

quickly getting worn down and they still a couple of months, whoop, from mexico city, the caravans official stop in point 6 months at their current rate from the us, where many want to eventually get to the martinez family are already on the verge of giving up, but one thing stops them. and now we have nothing back home. we sold everything. and what's more, we can't go back here. we put in my husband had problems with extortion because he's a taxi driver. and my son to because he didn't want to join the gangs, and those that don't join can be killed when it led. i'm a leslie to other memories of her son. she says was so precious by the gangs to join that he took his own life. and leon them at firing gang of my son, killed himself when he was 20. i mean, if i can take care of my life back home is tough. but so as this journey

given earlier that night we left the family sleeping in a leaky warehouse in another village, only a tiny bit further on the long walk, nor john holman out visitor is squint le poland. senate has voted to build a wall along its border with below roofs to prevent migrants from entering illegally. in the past 2 months, thousands of people have attempted to cross the border to enter the european union . the block is accused minsk of providing safe passage to the e u. in retaliation against sanctions. the wall will be a 100 kilometers long and will cost about $400000000.00. the bill it will be passed to the president, was promised to sign it in the coming days. still to come on al jazeera, the horror of kidnappings in haiti we hear from a teenage girl snatched off the street while walking home from school. as saving

major contract could have been handled better or by den is in rome for the g. 20 leaders conference. him at pope frances before the to day summit, which will discuss among other matters, global distribution of covered vaccines and climate concerns. leaders then go to glasgow for the cop $26.00 conference. and thousands of people are, again, walking through mexico, hoping to cross into the united states. unlike previous migrant caravans, mexican authorities are not stopping them, hoping that the war just becomes too much. and the people give up and turn back on the u. k is threatening, greater checks on all you vessels fishing in its waters. if france goes ahead with a series of proposed sanctions, the escalating dispute is linked to a post brakes and fishing agreement. paris is threatening sanctions of the u. k. doesn't grant more licenses the french fishermen? the british government says if those actions are implemented,

it would put you in breach of a trade agreement. lexi o'brien has more from paris. the british captain has been summoned to appear in court in august next year. he's accused of fishing and french waters without a license. he had on board about 2 tom's of scallops when his boat was checked and seized, taken to the horses laugh earlier this week. now those checks were part of this escalating route between the u. k and france over the rights to fission, british waters and particularly waters around the island of jersey. a u. k. crown dependency that lies just 22 kilometers of the french coast. francis wasn't given the licenses it deserves and that it expected under the post bricks at trade deal. and that has got it incredibly frustrated. so on tuesday is, is it, it will unveil what it's calling targeted measures. if it doesn't get the license, it licenses it wants, it said that it will stop british vessels from docking and french ports that it

will stay pop chicks, time consuming health and a health and safety checks on trucks going in and out of the u. k. and that could have an impact on shops like the one behind me, because france is the gateway to europe for all of those british fishing vessels and the fish that they try to sell it to the continent. there are lots of measures underway to try and prevent that happening, including possibly looking called a brush, half meeting in rome. the sunday on the sidelines at the g. 20 meeting between president emmanuel mccall and the u. k. prime minister at boris johnson. now both sides are being accused of ramping up the tension to play, to a domestic audience. president, a call will be standing for reelection and april next year. and the votes from those c side towns where fishing is a lifeline could be crucial to his re election. and that's the view from france for brendan now has been following developments from london. the tension continues and it's kind of spreading as well. there's also i detect some red faces on the british

side. let me explain why. basically, this english british scholar dredge was stopped by the french authorities because it was said that it didn't have the proper paperwork to be fishing in the area that it was the operator of the boat at mcduff shellfish said this far as i was concerned, they thought they didn't have the right paperwork. george eustace, the environment secretary, the, the government minister said in the commons in the parliament on thursday that he did believe it had the right paperwork and had a license. but they were reported. it subsequently been removed from the list of approved batch and today like the shellfish, the operator, the boat now seem to be admitting that the vessel had slipped off the list of approved boats to be fishing in that area because of a clerical error on the case side, now apparently deaf for the departments involved is frantically trying to get to the bottom of this, but it could appear that it's actually the case problem. and that's why this boat

has been impounded by the french because of a clerical error by the british. nevertheless, the british crying foul because they believed that the 0 tolerance enforcement that the friendships have begun as a result of the escalation of tensions over fishing rights around jersey and the u . k. channel islands. the 0 tolerance is in itself an intimidation tactic by the french. how this is all going to calm down is not clear yet. children as young as 5 could soon be receiving covered 19 vaccines in the united states after the food and drug administration authorize the pfizer is new child size. the doses successful pests were conducted earlier this year on 5 to 11 year olds. the vaccines are a 3rd of the strength given to adults and teenagers. the lebanese ambassadors, the saudi arabian bahrain have both been given 40 and i was to leave those countries. saudi arabia is also recall that some basketball and will stop all

lebanese imports crossing his orders further threatening. lebanon's already fragile economy. st holder has more from beirut. a few days ago, a video circulated on line in which the information minister was criticizing the saudi a lead military campaign in yemen. in fact, calling saudi arabia the external aggressors. now, this of course angered saudi arabia. the information minister said that his statements were made before he was appointed in the new government. they were made back in august and disclosed his personal opinion. but that was just not enough for saudi arabia. even the lebanese government tried to distance itself, the prime minister, or the president. they tried to distance themselves from the statements made by the information minister saying that it did not reflect lebanese government policy, but clearly with saudi arabia's decision to recall it some back for consultations

and demanding that the investor in saudi arabia leave the country within 48 hours it is just, this is just not enough. now this is going to, this is definitely a blow to the new government ever since the prime minister matthew took office. he has been talking about, you know, trying to restore relations with the golf corporation council states because as of late, really, the relationship between lebanon and gulf arab states has been at an all time low. in fact, especially saudi arabia believes that iran through it's local ally, has the law now controls the country. and this is why saudi arabia really has been staying on the sidelines. so the traditional partners of lebanon, the gulf are countries, the political and economic partners. they have been on the sideline as of yet, so this new incident definitely is going to further further strain the relationship . and you also mentioned the economy. all of lebanon's imports will now be be

a 15 year old girl. the only child of a family that is far from wealthy, but that didn't stop kidnappers from grabbing her off the street last month. on her way home from school. she asked best not to show her face or use her real name, will damper. they took me and blindfolded me and put me in a car. i don't know where they took me. then they raped me. i was crying and calling out for my mom, and i could hear other children crying too much on her mother who also asked us to conceal her identity, sold all her possessions and scrape together the equivalent of 2000 us dollars to pay her daughters ransom. went this that seeing artesia, i feel good because they didn't kill ha, i was glad i could see her and get her back with them. my dad and mother and daughter are now destitute, living in a safe house run by

a private organization that helps battered and abused women and girls. a near total breakdown of law and order has left many haitians at the mercy of criminal groups who use kidnapping to make easy money. women and girls are particularly vulnerable . honestly, there's no place that i can quite like. take your place in haiti right now. everywhere is unsecure, thought ingles, a woman, aid workers say some victims die in captivity and there remains are never found. others are too deeply traumatized to go on. i heard some case that human all girls that had it has been, could not be killed, themself. few, if any of these crimes are ever solved according to a haitian human rights research organization, nearly 800 people have been kidnap since the beginning of this year, mary is now receiving medical and psychological treatment. oh,

we need security in the country. a lot of young women and men are being kidnapped now. she is one of many victims in a country living in fear, rob reynolds al jazeera, puerto prince, several species of sturgeon are in danger of extinction in georgia. the fish are facing threats for land made dams. robin forest here, walker reports now from the re only river. if you could travel back through the mists of time, say around 200000000 years, you would find fish remarkably like the ones swimming the present day. waters of the re yoni river, 5 critically endangered species of sturgeon, still spawn in the rony. that is, they travel up stream from the black sea to lay their eggs. but upstream, numerous dams have contributed to that drastic decline. this one is the voted c.

hey hydropower cascade completed in 1987. it stopped fish from reaching spawning grounds that had existed for millennia hydropower. so very proven for sure that this purchase funding grounds are the chris oh and now and it's only 9 kilometers. and in the past, it was more of a 50 temperature to understand the threat to moon and needs more data. we said we'll get, he is ready to help. he remembers the days when the sturgeon with large and plentiful catching them, now is illegal. but if method locals know who to call, hello ma'am? yes, let us, we keep it alive, put it to the basket, and white the to moon, or all the others. they'll come take a sample and let them go. if fish are released back into the river, that's delivering results. one species thought to be extinct has been rediscovered

the so called ship sturgeon. but dna analysis also has revealed a worrying trend hybrid individuals, which can no longer reproduce. man's intervention is everywhere. here the river has been diverted to reduce seasonal flooding. the sluice gates used to be used for quite a different purpose. if close you could trap migrating sturgeon, and they could be caught far more easily. well, thanks to observe is on the ground. those kinds of big fishing events are far less common. 12 monitors now patrol and 92 kilometers stretch of the reopening. last year kennedy's team covered the $22.00 incidents of poaching, including this rig of hooks designed to snag sturgeon on the river bed. they said that's in a look at one of them. we are in contact with each other over the phone. we pass on information. what is happening in our area, or if a boat goes by,

i will tell the others where it went, in which direction, and we will react to that. if something illegal is happening, we can stop it. sturgeon ok, now better protected and better understood. but george's government once more hydropower, on this river, not less, their survival still hangs in the balance. rubbing 1st year walker al jazeera on the rio river in western georgia. ah a reminder now of the top stories on al jazeera, the u. s. and french presidents have met in person for the 1st time since their countries most serious.
