effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skins. the big picture trace is the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail, it citizens, britain's true colors pop 2 on al jazeera. ah . a possible thought in relations between china and the united states, the planets to largest produces of emissions announced the joint plan to tackle climate change. ah, let me don't harbor one. i'm come all santa maria, this is the world news from al jazeera, the u. s. president is admitted consumer price as the to high and his pending his

hopes on an infrastructure bill to counter the biggest jump in inflation and 30 years. also a hopeless situation on the bill of bruce, poland, a board of thousands of migrants still stranded in desperate freezing conditions. harmony, while reporting from the islands in northern scotland, where the power of the sea is driving the green revolution. ah, sir, china in the united states have issued a joint declaration of the cop $26.00 summit and glasgow promising to work together more closely to bring about some real action on climate change. separate news conferences, but their own voices said they would cooperate to accelerate the emissions reductions that are desperately needed to meet the temporary goals of the paris agreement at the last day of the conference on friday. the final details of how to tackle climate change have yet to be agreed upon amongst almost $200.00 countries taking pop, andrew simmons wraps up all the develop. it's now from glasgow. it came out of the

blue since the chinese special envoy to cop $26.00 announced his country was going to work with the united states on climate action. ah sharman ah, well our father will you go to me all the choices here? i'd like to announce any holden's message. china and united states have jointly released at china us joint glasgow declaration and enhancing climate action in 2020 a line. shortly after that came john kerry confirming what amounts to some sort of partnership the united states and china have no shortage of differences. but on climate and climate cooperation is the only way to get this job done. this is not a discretionary thing, frankly. this is science, it's math and physics that dictate the road that we have to travel. china and the u

. s. aren't only the 2 biggest economies on earth. they're also responsible for the biggest emissions of carbon dioxide and methane gases. and that's why such a joint effort may have added value details about exactly what effect to below have . i'll limited at this stage. but regardless of that, it's given a lift to proceedings here at a difficult time. earlier boris johnson had headed back to glasgow on an electric train, not the private jet. he used to fly to london last week. his mission to try bridging the gaps on a final agreement. the world is hud leaders from every country continent stand here and acknowledge the need for action and the world will find absolutely incomprehensible. if we fail to deliver that, and the backlash from people will be immense, and it will be long lasting. and frankly, we will deserve their criticism,

and their opprobrium fossil fuel states may not like it, but the draft working text has devised a ratcheting up effect on cutting emissions. countries would review progress with foreign ministers meeting next year and with heads of state gathering in 2023. no one needs reminding of what's at stake. although this new time lapse study of 6 weeks shows how quickly iglesia in iceland can melt cop 26th negotiations are getting more intense not helped. by latest research showing temperatures could rise by 2.4 degrees celsius. not near enough to the 1.5 celsius cap to be anything other than dangerous. and that's even if all the promises for emission cuts and other measures come to fruition. countries like the gambia in west africa, which is one of few states managing to comply with demands from the paris agreement in 2015. we are leading ganga is need,

will be negotiation on adaptation. what software we're talking about long term financing. we're talking about loss and damage. we're talking about other sticking issues that are not forthcoming from deep negotiations. so this is a concern for our developing countries, a least developed countries with atlanta. this is highly unlikely to be the last version of a draft agreement with rules of consensus in which every one of nearly 200 cop members have to agree. it's feared a final action plan is more likely to be watered down rather than toughened up. andrew simmons, al jazeera glasgow. let's check on the chair for tansy now in washington, d. c. i guess she had anywhere where we can see some level of cooperation between the u. s. r and china has got to be viewed as a good thing at the moment. or what else can we have but, but hope given, i mean, it's true. i mean, historically, what can we also expect that but broken promises and fluffiness but like this is

a climate emergency we have to have, i mean, there's no choice, right? but i think it's very much what this was. this was designed to elicit, at least as andrew was saying that i mean the masters, at least china in the us, are fighting on this one issue. and it was, it was reported that in fact in order to get to this initiative trying to in the us have had 1030 or other virtual meetings over 10 months in order to come up with this, this initiative. and we had, actually, in the recent weeks john kerry was hoping for some, some kind of splashy announcement with china. so what did they come up with? where to bring pretty, pretty really, really but, but again, as you say, we got it, it's something. so there is a working group that they're setting up, which is specifically going to be concentrating on what the 2 countries can do in the 2020, in the short term. these are, these are good, is a good words for those who are complaining that often countries simply say that we will do this will be a long time goes that this is specifically, this is specifically about the short term when,

when action is the most crucial. so that's, that's good, surely that on me, same the you after the, you've been pushing china to join some global compact on reducing me saying china says no by principle, we're not going to be involved in that. that's up to you. developed countries, be historical pollutants. you do that to what they're saying there, and this initiative is, or they will set up their own national action plan specifically about me. thank. all right, that's, that's good. no change. and when trying to will reach peek emissions. so 2030 but this is interesting to carry about press conference and as far as us officials and i think china has already reached peak peak emissions of greenhouse gases and is already kind of plateaued, which is interesting then things are quite interesting as well because that to other issues have transparency on regulation on i'm on the tracking of emissions. what we've heard repeatedly and again the report a few days ago that actually a lot of these pledges are pretty nonsensical because most countries are lying about their emission. so this is, this is an attempt apparently just to say,

we're going to have proper regulation to ensure the accurate reporting of emissions . and then there's another interesting, this is finally an interesting thing where they're going to develop, wrote regulations and rules for the common market. this is but a major feature compet actually for a long time because most environment, environmental activists think that the carbon market when you hear the words net 0 . busy cap and trade, i mean it's fraudulent like just to just to help big business kerio and polluting and say look, we're doing something scans love to schedule shows that are often not so regulation to police that. so that's all these will be issues and still very willing, it's pretty vague, but least these are issues that are of great, great concern. and in addition, in the last hour or so last few hours, it was about the president biden and president, she will be having a virtual summit tentatively for next monday, which might add to that. but hopefully that sense of optimism baby steps isn't the thank you, chaper tansy in washington, d. c. speaking of you as president joe by then he's on

a national tour showcasing his infrastructure economic plan, which he says is the fix to the country. sorry, inflation, biden's acknowledged consumer prices aren't too high after new day to reveal the risen 6.2 percent in the past year. that is the biggest spike in inflation. in 30 years, pandemic relief programs have fuel demand for goods, which is in turn over stretching, supply change and chains, and causing a massive shipping backlog. today, i'm here to talk about one of the most pressing economic concerns of the american people. and it's real. and that is getting prices down, number one, number 2, making sure our stores are fully stocked. and number 3, getting a lot of people back to work while tracking and tackling these 2 above challenges. i mentioned today's economic report showing unemployment continued to fall. but consumer prices remain to i rob reynolds with us now from sun pedro port in los angeles. rob still list together for us if he can,

the idea of high inflation. but the economic below a is coming. and then we've got supply chain problems. how can this all come together to actually fix things for the american people? come all, it is all intertwined. the supply chain crisis, which we've been seeing here in southern california, with more than a 100 ships at last count out at sea, waiting to bring their containers into port and unload the goods that american consumers have already ordered. and that american consumers are expecting to, to pick up and buy a big box stores or through amazon or other e commerce, they're all waiting out there. and this is creating a condition of scarcity. when you have a scarcity of goods and high demand. it's a recipe for a higher prices and therefore inflation. now we have been talking to people here

in this port complex, in the, in long beach and los angeles, the biggest in the country about what's going on, what are the causes? we've also been talking. busy to, to the, the heads of companies that are waiting now to get their goods off the boats and on their way to consumers. and here's what we found. at least $100.00 giant cargo ships are floating in limbo off the southern california coast carrying billions of dollars worth of goods they can't unload. it's the most visible sign of today's global supply chain crisis. we have never seen the volume of containers were seen today. we are busier than ever. we are at full capacity. but the warehouses are also fully subscribed. the courts of the l. a and long beach are the largest in the us, and ling about 40 percent to one half of all imports,

mostly from china. but due to coven era online spending sprees by american consumers staffing shortages and sheer lack of storage capacity compared to the volume of shipping, the ports are jammed even after ramping up to 247 operations. they're mccadney effect of impacting every 2nd in the supply chain, all at the same time. on top of that, the pandemic triggered heightened demand for goods overseas from us consumers. us consumers are buying goods at a historic base. you as president joe biden has allocated government funding and is urging more coastal ports warehouses, trucking companies and other links in the supply chain to work 247. to solve the problem, we have to take action now together with our partners in the private sector, to reduce the backlogs that we're facing. the winter holiday gift giving season is

fast approaching. so what's on board? all of these ship stuck out in the harbor waiting to unload. well, there's clothes, computers, furniture, electronics, and of great importance to parents and grandparents everywhere. toys, isaac larry and sells toys. lots and lots of very popular toys. kids can't get enough of this, can get his m ga, entertainment company includes god, i haven't items like l. well, surprise brats and many others. so this none and enough for prize didn't. linda? linda at kitty kath camper, we have research, he's going to be hug authority. few. how does toys here? over 70 percent of the demand is sitting on boards and contain containers, the china factory. they will make it for christmas and i'm talking bud did supply

chain logistic nightmare. the snarled supply chain is slowing down global economic growth and boosting inflation. now, it might mean a lot of disappointed kids. i love children, more than enough goes my ad wife to consumer. truly watching beef, please go. i shop early. experts predict the crunch will persist well into next year. rob reynolds al jazeera, long beach california, who checked the wall where the next on al jazeera and then a day after you and staff were detained. there are concerns workers from another humanitarian group and been targeted by ethiopia, governance, and it's been more than 2 months, but relatives of a family killed by a u. s. john strike era in afghanistan. still waiting for justice. ah,

how i welcome to look at the international forecast. we got some body storms erupting across the plains of north america. big area cloud coming through here. head of that is not cheap at high pressure and chart. so largely settle and try make the most of that on thursday, around the eastern seaboard because here comes a stormy weather, some really heavy rain driving through the the northern plains easing across the ohio valley, the tennessee valley pushing towards that east coast. north america that we have got some significant snow for one celsius there in winnipeg, somewhat dry for calgary around 2 degrees. and then we got snow on the other side of the what just around the rockies. some very right whether into b c and also into our pacific northwest washington state to protect the sinks and very heavy rain. that when she mixed pushes a little further east was for friday,

increasing cloud of suddenly wind picking temperatures up in calgary, temporarily at least to around 12 celsius or something of improvement and improving whether to just around the eastern seaboard but a rush of showers. some of the wintry are the side of the laced rest of the u. s. doesn't look too bad place to say things looking little better now for jamaica, we have seen some very heavy rain recently, just around at western side of the caribbean. that wet weather is pushing further west. ah. setting the discussions, what is green washing is when an oil company talked green but unflinching journalism? are you committed to building a vibrant democratic? i've got to start sharing personal stories with a global audience. our ministry had no idea who happening on the flu, but i could see the body bag explore an abundance of work. programming climate change is another issue of survival on allergies,

the around ah aah! on alba 0. these other top stories, china in the united states and promised to work together more closely to combat climate change in spite of their differences. both pledge to speed up emissions reductions to meet the goals of the paris agreed. with president joe biden says his infrastructure economic plan is the fix to the country. soaring inflation, new data is revealed. prices have risen 6.2 percent in the past year. the biggest spike in 30 years novela roost is accusing the european union of provoking a refugee and migrant stand off on its border with poland as an excuse to impose

new sanctions. this is the latest and then escalating back and forth with the you saying the bell russian president, alexander, look shanker, has lured people to poland doorstep. that's left about 2000 people, stuck in freezing dangerous conditions at the eastern edge of the european union. mo, from us at bank. oh, they're not asking for much. in fact, these children just want water journalists are banned from this area, but the person filming these scenes on the border between bedrooms and poland, says there are babies as young as 2 months old here. some families have not eaten for several days. at night, temperatures drop well below 0. at least 2000 people. many of them from the middle east are stuck in makeshift camps along the razor. wire. social media footage from recent days shows refugee and migrants escorted by mast belushi and security towards the border. sometimes shots are fired and people have often been

beaten. as in these pictures, although shown by polish forces momma all day momma though the you says, belly root has been encouraging migrants and refugees to and to poland in lithuania, in retaliation for sanctions imposed over human rights violations. you passengers have now agrees this justifies a new round of sanctions and better bruce and the block wants action to stop more desperate people arriving on its borders. it's important which brings very well to the original trend threes into the transit turn, threes. what are the currency trenches of the policy? it's also important to explain to the airlines what are the concrete effects of the decisions in the system. and in fact, in the launch of an hybrid attach against you. but michelle, by she let, the united nations human rights chief has issued a statement effectively condemning all sides in the stand of saying, hundreds of men and women and children must not be forced to spend another night in

freezing weather without adequate shelter. food, water and medical care and international law, no one should ever be prevented from seeking asylum or other forms of international human rights protection. for its part, russia, a traditional backer, a better route is accusing brussels of being hypocritical. she talked to you, she can greatly improve on the situation, is indeed very tense and there's a tendency to escalate tensions that causes concern. it's apparent that a humanitarian catastrophe is looming against the background of europeans reluctance to demonstrate commitment to their european values. in a phone call, german chancellor, angular market as appealed directly to russian president vladimir putin to exert his influence on the regime in minsk. as governments take the blame game, the humanitarian situation guest dire by the day on the border out there in the darkness beyond the police road block are up to 2000 people, including women and children, with little shelter, food,

or water spending the night in freezing temperatures, as i'd beg, i'll da 0, poland. more than 70 dr. is working for the well food program have been detained by ethiopian authorities, un, and humanitarian sources. so they were arrested during government raids, targeting ethnic to grinds a day earlier, 16 you and workers were detained in the capitol. the rebels and figured i have in the pile, st claimed with captured towns on the main highway to the capital out of san papa. the head of the ethiopian human rights commission, daniel will kill us as he is deeply concerned about the mass arrest of ethnic to grounds. since a state of emergency has been declared in ethiopia, the they give any modest commission has been monitoring and following godsa based off not just 16, but actually hundreds of people. and there appears to be, ah, ethnic ah, ah, elements to the satirists. which what he says are, in

a sense that are largely ethnic. the grands have been a targeted to for a house, a search and arrests and are we have been following up the case so far? hundreds of people and i do understand that a set of images, he gives a power to our police to a suspect, to our race, to people on the ground. so for the reasonable suspicion, but we are concerned about her at least scoffed the state of emergency, and it's a dyadic thieves being gar applied in a wrong way, which is why we have already expressed a concern. and we continued to monitor her that i self several people not read one has saying is if you, if you state minister of foreign affairs and speaking to out of the earlier, he denied the allegations of arbitrary detention. i don't think and believe it is this through the ethnic profiling, but people might be out there. i don't think that i children,

i don't have that information. and if that happens, the government has an alarm in the state of my clean on the, on the date of emergency, this issue that people should be treated wait, and there must be adequate reason that to happen in any person. so somebody got it . this might happen, but they want to be better, my systematic one, if it happens that it also be a criminal act than anybody that does would actually be held accountable. but they want to be systematic and there is no systematic harvest just because of your profile. and if the police might have found out some suspect, then they will be bound to pay and then also do do investigation. if any individual does not have adequate evidence to judge against him, you must be released. but pending some people will not get that my truck systematic, but because we're in complex situation, you know, how many people are being attacked and how many atlas started being done. and then, you know, a number of actors. so you must have been much careful individual and that that should not be then happens at the lee and then police must do their job. but we

would also look into that the process, if there is any, every validity, then that must be addressed. relatives of an african family killed in the us, drones dr. say best way to for justice. the attack can cobble in august, killed an aid worker and his family, including 7 children. the parents, again, later said it would pay compensation. but a watchdog also ruled that while the attack was a mistake, it did not break and lower. the actual targets were members of iso china is struggling to contain as late as outbreak of the delta variance of coven 19 infections of now spread to 20 provinces, prompting a debate about the countries 0 tolerance strategy and it's tough control measures katrina, you as the story from beijing, a chinese city on the border with russia is turning to unconventional means to control curve 19. it's offering a reward of $15000.00 to anyone who can help trace the origin of the latest

outbreak. hey, her city officials have declared a so called peoples war against the virus. as cases around the country continue to climb. more than 1000 infections have been reported for of late october. the resurgence has spread to 21 provinces so far and has been accompanied by unseasonably cold weather in the countries north conditions which have helped the virus to thrive. yoga with due face a complex and stir epidemic prevention and control situation this winter and the next the spring. china will continue to hear to st. epidemic prevention and control measures. some authorities have expanded the definition of close contacts using mobile fern data to track people's location and activities. officials here call it space time or overlap which sounds like something out of science fiction, but it's very simple. if you spend just 10 minutes within a certain radius of unearned covered 19 case,

your mobile form will alert authorities, which means a person can be quarantined even though they hadn't come into actual physical contact with an infected person. nearly 77 percent of china's population is fully vaccinated. but while singapore, australia, and new zealand have opted to live with the virus, bating is sticking to its 0 tolerance strategy. to policy was criticized by for ologist kwan e on hong kong television this week. so for all local governments, i'm italian, there's 0 dollars policy. if we continue to do this, i'm sure i'll count as he colony will one day collapse. he also raised questions about chinese vaccines, which have lower protection rates than other vaccines. the chinese government has dismissed consent thing it strategy has kept the virus death toll low for now targeted, locked downs and long quarantine periods. a common place and a lives and travel plans of millions will continue to be offended at short notice.

katrina, you al jazeera beijing, a 2nd stream of lava from interrupting volcano in the canary islands has now reached the ocean net hit. the atlantic at a beach on the west side of la palmer. the region is sparsely populated, so no new evacuations ordered signed his st. seismic activity round the volcano is decreasing 8 weeks after it began interrupting. the u. s. judge has approved a $626000000.00, settlement for those harmed by the lead water crisis in flint, michigan. the suit was brought forward by tens of thousands of residents. most of the money will be coming from the state of michigan, which was accused of overlooking issues which led to the water crisis. since water supply was switched in 2014 to save money, but toxic levels of lead caused several debts and severe health problems for residence. well, as the world looked for solutions to the climate crisis, scotlands orkney islands or at the forefront of their renewable energy revolution, clark reports the islands have

a heritage of innovation dating back thousands of years. the story of invention on these remote islands is coming full circle. cultural and architectural innovation flourished here way back in the elliptic times, even before the pyramids were built, 5000 years on orkney is again at the vanguard of the future. we all know i didn't fit on the range in castro through the north sea and the north atlantic, where the tides career back and forth between the islands and the u. k. mainland and in the title raises, does power power that can drive all walls. this is the orbital oh to the world's most powerful title turbine. roaches spin in the ebb and flow generating enough electricity for 2000 homes. it's just one of many prototypes being tested by the european marine energy center. here on orkney research suggest title power could

provide up to 10 percent of the u. k. electricity with the same guaranteed output as gas or co title. and she's really interesting because it entirely predictable is driven by the position of the moon and the position of the earth and the sun. so we know where the tides are going to be when the thoughts can be running a 1000 years from today. some of the machines are on the sea bed, some of the machines associate on the surface, but altogether they actually provide a huge energy. so since available the island is him, have already capitalized on another force of nature. community owned commercial scale, wind turbines, they help generate more electricity than is required on the islands. the surplus being sold on to the u. k. mainland. this also a huge offshore wind project planned and green. hydrogen is already being produced to palm marine and rode transport. i spoke to dr. sandy ker, of harriet, what university he told me, the acadia and green revolution has turned the island economy around. we get

students to come here from around the world under keating's that come back to learn about renewable energy in this community. and a number of them city, and i take up jose with say at the local air renewable energy companies must really reverse in the, in the brain drain that we see around the rest of the case. while there's still a long way to go. these islands a well on the road to carbon neutrality, wind and tide, a driving a seismic change, giving the rest of the world a glimpse of things to come. nick clark, al jazeera, the oak tree islands, scotland. oh, how past the all these other top stories, china and the u. s. of promised to work together more closely to combat climate change in spite of their differences, both pledge to speed up emissions reductions to meet the goals of the powers climate agreements. years climate envoy, john kerry says cooperation is key to getting the job done. the united states and

china are releasing a joint declaration which lays out how.
