we were supposed to rational black faces people and we had to really find our way with no high and no limitation. the world is a much smaller place. we please better to get away with these regional boundaries, film direct, thank you. in to tell me thing is home right. skin, is it about racism making certainly have it's making often visible. do you be unfit on out there? ah, hundreds of iraqis are flown home from bella luce giving up hope of starting a new life in europe. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera alive from dough. are also coming up years president joe biden. the house is northern and southern neighbors at the white house. the 1st summit between north american leaders and years as another wave of

corona virus infection sweeps europe, new restrictions are re imposed to unvaccinated citizens to contain the spread and assessing the damage. severe flooding on landslides lays waste to homes, roads, and bridges in western canada. ah, there been signs of an easing in the border crisis on the european union's eastern frontier with a plan from the nation accused of crating the problem. and the 1st large group of migrants returning home. the western borders of bella roost remain essentially sealed with a heavy security presence in latvia, lithuania, and poland. there are the key border crossing of kristen. it's a thousands of people are still waiting and temperatures, which fall below freezing overnight. but around 400 iraqi migrants of abandoned bare attempts to enter the u. heading instead for the bell, a russian capital minsk. from there they boarded the evacuation of flight organized by the iraqi government ultimately heading for the capital. baghdad. when his 1st

stop was in northern iraq is city of at a bill. most of the passengers were iraqi kurds, from the autonomous region near the border with turkey. many had been stranded up the polish bella roast border for more than a week before giving up on reaching the e u. m. and con reports from the airport in arabic. as they arrive at, you can see the exhaustion in their faces while some are glad to be home. others say though, return, i'm going back. i'm ready to try hunter tom's again next. so my, i intend to go. the kurdish regional government of which are bill is the capital released a statement blaming people smugglers for jupiter rockies into going to buy the roofs. the statement promised to crack down on them. in the last few days, they say they were arrested 10 members of a criminal smuggling gang. some of those returning thursday described a horrific experience. though had i been at mcgehee, the situation is so bad. the smugglers easing people. i've seen people dying before

my own eyes. i will not try to travel again. i will not go to live. a lot of these people have sold everything they own to get to europe. they are likely to come back to less than they had before. the future for them is blinking on the $341.00. people disembarked on this flight here in hon. another 90 will disembark in baghdad . now there are more flights in the coming days. how many more is a negotiation between minsk and baghdad, but perhaps the real negotiation is exactly how many iraqis will want to get on those flights. around con, i'll desert a real, an acid bag has been monitoring the situation on the poland, beller, who's buddha, stranded cold, and living in miserable conditions. these people under bella, russian side of the border with poland and now getting some help. but it's far from what they want and need. bella russo has some in a makeshift shelter, a warehouse with beds, blankets, and food. but still they tried to cross. oh hi. this footage,

released by polish authorities, shows people detained as they crossed the border. oh, me on a dove in the green supposed cove there were $501.00 attempts of the legal border crossings from belarus in the last 24 hours. this means the total number of such attempts in november exceeds 6000. c but the russian forces also released this footage. lithuanian border force dog bites into a man sleeping bag. lithuanian authority say they didn't know someone was inside. the e u wants to impose more sanctions and the g 7 has condemned by the roost. they say it's creek to the situation on his borders in what the you called a form of hybrid attack by the russian official say the president has offered german chancellor anglo merkel away forward resident with his museum. the e. you will create a humanitarian corridor for 2000 refugees. her and the camp were taken obligation

upon ourselves to assist the other 5000 as much as possible and in case they are willing to return home something the e u has rejected out of hand. but tensions are belly roost, his borders remain high. ukraine has deployed national guards to its border with belarus and lithuania, as also reinforced its border with the country. but the roost says it won't force any migrant refugees to go back home, but with no solution in sight, those who are trapped are likely to continue to be used as pawns in a much larger game. as that bag, i'll jazeera poland, and amongst all of this, russia has again weighed in, insisting that the crisis has been manufactured by the west. we didn't even get there to storm lebanon, who certainly is boot. one cannot help but see that western countries are using the migration crisis on the bell roofs and polish porter as a new reason for tension in the region that is close to us and to pressure mince class. and at the same time, they forget their own obligations in the humanitarian sphere. yes, president joe biden has been holding his 1st in person meetings with the leaders of

canada and mexico at the white house. both canadian prime minister just intruder on mexico's president under his manual lopez, alberto at one on one meetings with biden before the summit. is the 1st north american leaders meeting since barack obama left office. our north american vision for the future draws on our shared strengths. as well as 3 vibrant democracies with dynamic populations in economy wishing to work together where that we can be. we can meet today and we can meet all the challenges. we just take the time to speak of one another by working together. and we have to end the pandemic and to take decisive action to curb the climate crisis. and my kind of joint us live now from washington dc. mike, so this is the 1st meeting held by the 3 countries in 5 years, i think so. so how the leaders resetting the partnership, and what were the key issues? well, there that issue about resetting the partnership absolutely critical up to such

a long pause in terms of face to face meetings. the leaders were known at the 3 amigos because they would be regular summit meetings along these lines before the previous administration. what was on the table very care. the issue of trade absolutely critical to all 3 countries. finding common ways to fight the cobra. 1900 pandemic, and also be to find a common front on combat in climate change. there were issues of interest to particular countries. the us and mexico talked about migration reform, for example, how to deal with those coming across the us mexican border. but most importantly, it would appear is that the 3 lead is $1.00 to $2.00. hop on this similarities not the differences. there are many issues of contention between the 3 countries, but none were discussed publicly that might have happened in private, publicly what it was was a resetting of a long standing relationship with pledges to work together. signaling that the old

3 amigos operation is once again underway. yeah, my can president biden in his meeting with the canadian prime minister says he's considering a boy called to the winter olympics in china. what's happening that well, yes, this is perhaps the major news line that emerged out of the summer having nothing to do with the nature of the summit itself. in this meeting with justin crudo, president fight. it was off specifically that is he thinking about the boy because of the winter games. now they've been much discussion in recent days and some leaks from administration. officials rare leaks that this was a metaphor consideration. and there, in the course of the meeting, we heard public confirmation from president biden in onset to the specific question . yes, we are considering that the major news line coming up, which as i said, that nothing to do with the general discussions. all right, i'm, i can't lie for stay in washington dc. mike, thank you. let's bring in tony pay on. he's a director of the center for the united states and mexico at rice university,

and he joins us live from houston 10. he said, this is the 1st time the 3 countries i've met since 2016 because for my president, trump put an end to the summit. so important is this meeting and how are the 3 leaders trying to re frame this partnership? well, i think the very 1st gains of this meeting is the 3 amigos summit is restored and i think that was a very important thing to do because that puts a frame around all the different issues and details that will have to be discussed later. but i think that is a good resetting of the relationship restarting a try lateral forum is really quite an accomplishment. even though there are many and very thorny issues that will have to be dealt with some of them by national and some of them of course, try lateral, but this is a good beginning. let's talk about trade 1st. then. i mean the u. s. is both canada and mexico top trading partner. but there have been strains of a president biden's by american policy. and this proposed electric vehicle tax.

this is not the level playing field, the mexico and canada both want no, i think one of the things that we have to understand about the bite administration is that it is somewhat protectionist. surprisingly because many thought that, that our president, former president trump was quite protectionist. but at the end of the day, mr. buy has not really retrenched on many of the tariffs imposed on canada, for example, on steel. and of course, canada has other worries. for example, that it may be excluded from all the contracts in the infrastructure bills. they're going to be deployed in the coming years in the united states. in canadian firms want the ability to back for those contracts. and then you also have, ah, some, some worry in canada that to these subsidies for electrical vehicles in the united states are going to exclude. now, canada, so some of these are, some of these things are bilateral, important issues that we'll have to be now discuss later. and i think mr. biden

will have to give some ground on that. yeah, and present biden has been pressuring mexico of the record numbers of migrants arriving at the u. s. southern border could president manuel lepers, alberto use the migration issue as leverage, do think against some concessions from bio, never say his energy policies, for instance. there is some consensus that president lopez over there in mexico has used immigrants, trans migration through mexico as a card against washington and to try to force washington not to give it a very hard time when it comes to energy. there is a lot of complaints here in texas, for example, about mexico's nationalistic approach to energy. and of course, the electric bill that would exclude a lot of investment from the united states. and there's a lot of complaints and mr. lovers or, or would like to be much more nationalistic, uncertain sectors. i don't think you can, at the end of the day achieve any kind of arrangement on immigration, on trade, on security and all kinds of issues. if you do not getting them in all of that,

we'll have to make some concessions at the end of the day. yeah. just to final thoughts you, i mean, other important issues. cobra. 19 pandemic fighting climate change. we've seen all these floods in canada. how do you see the leaders working together one that was briefly and what's, what's the future of the partnership? well, i think, i think right now the important part is that there is a new framework. the trilateral framework has been re established now the diplomats and the individuals assigned to the different teens will deal with specific issues when it comes to climate change. of course, the buy number is just wants to push very hard, both canada and mexico in the direction of cooperating with reducing methane and other emissions that harm the planet. and that's going to be very difficult when you have a mexico that is reprinting essentially 2 hydrocarbons. that's going to be quite an issue. but the other day, i think if we can seed on some issues and then gain on others, this will be a very productive beginning of a new partnership,

tony pan. really good to get your thoughts and insight. thank you very much, tony. thank you. now covered 19 and spreading rapidly in several european countries . again, numbers of infections and death are rising in some places where the vaccination levels are lower. and that's led to germany, greece and other governments to impose restrictions on the unvaccinated where we challenge reports bars a full along the sea front had been doing this resort town on spain's east coast, is popular with u. k. package tourists seeking an escape from the autumn weather back home with a spike in local coded cases recently suggest they may have been bringing something with them that the show to fail if we don't have proper data on the rise of the infections. but we did notice as soon as tourism came back to this area, the rise of infections came to this is unquestionable. so visitors being offered vaccinations, some haven't had one at home. and most of arrived on crowded plains arrived at the

fort yesterday. 5 flights all came in at the same time, and they was thousands of people from manchester, bristol, all queueing up together. so that's not, that's not good if you're trying to keep cove it down to a minimum. spain's infection rate is rising, but it's worth elsewhere in europe. german chancellor, anglo merkel says a 4th wave has hit her country with full force or infections or worse, access to events and restaurants will only be for those who've been vaccinated for who's recovered. munich has cancelled in christmas market infections in bavaria, a double the national race of 300 or so 100000. i'm tom and on monday was said that you were allowed to set up. and in the end, the result is that we have to dismantle. now, and we have to bear all the costs. nobody pays the cost increase, private doctors are being drafted into the public health care system for

a month. hospitals and intensive care wards have been overwhelmed by rising infections, recently, medics of protesting, saying that overworked and underpaid. many european countries, a course on the horns of a dilemma, significant parts of the population don't want to get vaccinated, but nor do people want more restrictions on their day to day lives. well, those are on back scenarios, obviously, are more susceptible to getting infected and, and having severe symptoms. so they're, they're driving the pandemic. the other issue is that european countries are being very reactive, rather than proactive. it's been largely a focus now on vaccination and less of a focus on other control measures like face masks and interiors, the cupboard, which i think is incredibly important. the death tolls on what they were earlier in the outbreak, but people are still dying. and once again, europe is the center of the world's cove at 19 pandemic for each helen's now to 0

most more. so to come here in al jazeera, including, we'll have the latest on the trial of col. rittenhouse, the 18 year old charge of killing 2 black lives matter protest, as in the u. s. that involved confrontations in sudan as anger over the military's takeover only grows. mon, i stay with ah, how i then place to say the weather is now quieting down for the pacific northwest and the western parts of canada just around the british columbia. we have still got some showers in the forecastle somewhere, whether they're coming from maney effect in washington state easing through as we go on through friday. so some bright skies coming freebie high ridge of high pressure to settling things down the be some shower wintry as well once again over

the mountain states of the us or maybe into alberta. but for much of the us, it's quiets by this state range cleared away from the eastern seaboard by a large temperatures in single figures, though. so nothing to write home about here, but at least it will be largely quite, not quite, quite into western parts of canada as we go on through sas day. southern path b, c should be largely settled with that little ridge of high pressure. here. we have got some snow just toppling in across the rockies spinning down into the the u. s. as well. pushed by the south, lottie settled down across the deep south of the u. s. while she settled to into a good part of the eastern caribbean, but western parts of the caribbean, particularly just around cuba pushing down towards central america. we'll see some very heavy showers as we go one through the next couple of days spent the heaviest will be across nicaragua and panama. ah, it's at $32.00. 03. 0 with somebody's got to do it. where do you go do

that by let's go. there, boise promoting clean, safe sanitation for all, but with a 3rd of the world lacking basic facilities, can his unique style really help clean up the matheny? culture? the pop culture is the fastest way those soft sanitation problem. mister toilets, a witness documentary on al jazeera lou. ah, welcome back. a quick reminder, the top stories here on al jazeera, hundreds of iraqis who gave up trying to enter the european union of a ride back home. that recreation flight 1st stopped and at

a bill the migrants in refugees had been stranded at lee beller roost potent border and cold and wet conditions. yes, president joe biden is holding his 1st in post meeting with the leaders of canada and mexico. whitehouse is the 1st such gathering of the 3 north american nations in 5 years. they're discussing everything from the co. good. 19, pandemic climate change. and several governments in europe are cracking down and people who haven't been vaccinated against cope igniting viruses spreading again in a number of countries, including germany. but debts are also on the rods. one of the 3 men on trial for the shooting of an i'm a black man in the u. s. state of georgia has told a court he saw him as a threat. travis michael, is charged for the murder of ahmad or abra. he chased down and shot aubrey as he jogged through their neighbourhood in february last year. but michael insist he was acting in self defense. on the 3rd day of jury deliberations in the murder trial of ca, written house in the us has ended without a verdict. after 23 hours of deliberation,

the jurors will return on friday to continue 18 year old rittenhouse. his job was shooting protest, her killing to an injury. another during racial justice rallies in wisconsin. last year. he says he accident self defense. lawyers have asked for a mis trial of evidence presented by the prosecution. john henry was outside the court in kenesha, where they had been 10 scenes. there's an air of anticipation outside the closer county circuit court. after 3 days of jury deliberations in the kind of written house case, each day, more and more people gather on the steps of the court house and it's gotten more. can there been a few crashes between protesters encountered protesters? there has been some arrests and interestingly police began to turn away. protestors who come harmed. that's not because we're in front of a court house. but because wisconsin has a law that says you cannot carry a weapon within 300 meters of his school and there is a school nearby. inside that courthouse, col rittenhouse,

and his lawyer show up every day anticipating his fate. he faces arranging charges from reckless endangerment all the way up to 1st degree homicide. that comes with a potential life sentence to the lowest charge has a maximum sentence of 12 and a half years. so it 18 if cal rittenhouse were to serve that entire sentence. when he got out of prison, he would be 30 years old. the canadian province of british columbia, as under a state of emergency, as torrential rainfall continues, one person's confirmed dead, and least 3, a missing 800000 people have been forced to leave their homes in the countries west and most province flooding and landslides of cut major roads making transportation of goods difficult just the worst flooding that i've ever seen that come from an area built to flood wins in a city, bought them in a little bit. but you know, this is, this is quite significant here. it affects a lot of people and it's really disheartening to see it. well, gabriel, alexander joins us live now from su, mass in washington state gabe growing concerned that dozens of farms have been

submerged across the suit. must prairie at what else have been happening that way you? oh yeah, that's right. they assume us a very area that you're referring to is the canadian side of the border british columbia that has been absolutely decimated by this storm. there is a lot of worry because that's a very agriculture rich area of a south west canada and with potentially dozens of farms totally underwater officials, their arse estimating that the total amount of money that could be needed to rebuild that area. not only the farms, but the homes, and the infrastructure that has been lost could be more than $1000000000.00, where i'm at now is the town of seumas on the west side of the border in the state of washington. this is in the northwest part of the united states. this is a small town of about $1600.00 residents only. and they are very much at the

epicenter of this storm pass through here a couple days ago as well. and they're now very much in a clean up stage as the cold wet rain continues to fall here. let me step out of frame so you can get a sense of what this cleanup looks like here there. or as i mentioned, $1600.00 residents of this town, and it's estimated that about 80 percent of the homes had some sort of water damage or were totally destroyed. most of the residents have bleed, but the few that have stayed have ever, are bringing all of their data now destroyed, possessions that are inside their home and bringing them here to be taken away to be taken away to the dump. and i and i just got in the mayor a few months. how are you doing? good, good. it's can be expected with everything going on. caught kyle christiansen. right, thanks for joining us. i know you just showed up. it's evolving the story here. so

he appreciate you coming here. what a you feel, seeing this scene that you see behind you in your challenge. so this is just been devastating for all the citizens. you know, we're looking at over $300.00 homes right now. and a lot of these are the same homes that got damaged in 2020. so a lot of these families, they're hurt, and now they're homeless. again, lost all their belongings just to it's really hard. it's really tough situation for us here. you ever seen a storm like this before? i have not, not since my lifetime, and this is the amount of water that came in as fast as it came. there was just so many rescues we had to do is just to so thankful nobody was heard or injured during that flood up here and to mass. your town is a border town, just a kilometer up the road. there's a canadian border, a lot of your economy is based on trade across borders. with the pandemic, a lot of the town economy was decimated, but it was starting to come back. what is now the economic impact of this

devastation from the storm now? oh, it's going to be huge. we have over 30 businesses that are going to be in the rebuilding process. a lot of them small business owners and then the railway, that's a huge thing. the railways going to take at least 2 weeks we're hearing before they're up and going, talking about that. so some of the train cars totally came off the. the rails was decimated. exactly there's, there's a lot of track that is, has to be rebuilt. and so it's, it's going to be huge for the economic part of the city and the county because there's so many businesses that rely on that railway as part of their infrastructure. so it's gonna be, it's gonna be a tough rebuilding process. this isn't gonna go away, it's gonna take months and, and maybe even up to a year to really get the businesses back on their feet. you know, this area is used to extreme climate you've had floods before. you're in a flood plain in some regards. do you see it getting worse and do you think any

sort of changes in climate has anything to do with it or not? based on what you're seeing here on the ground? i would say not the climate. i mean, i do see that there are some solutions out there that we need to really start to look at. because if we don't do anything we'll, we'll continue to see this again and again. and so there's different options building up the levies on the new sack river, maybe doing some relief, waterways or remove the sediment that's filled up are all of our freaks and rivers . i mean that, that's the other option. i think it's a combination of all of that. that's really gonna help us. but we've learned having this happen in 2020 mean that was only 25 homes and 25 businesses. but this time we're looking at over $300.00 homes and probably a least $35.00 businesses that have been damaged this time. thank you very much for joining us and how to do. we appreciate it. thank you. well, you heard it there from the mayor here of her sumac, this town. that is really been devastated from this very unusual, a climate event, if you will. and he was talking about how much it's gonna take to rebuild this town,

but not only here, but this entire region that the between canada and the north west is united states that is now under water. all right, i gable and is on the alive for us the in to mass in washington state game. thank you. snap protest is in sudan. have again clashed with security forces. just a day off of these 15 people were killed by gunfire. tear gas was fired at demonstrators in the capital cartoon as widespread anger the military refusal to hand back out the last month. takeover allison prime minister della ham dock is still in custody. 2 days after the military said he'd be released along with other political prisoners, even morgan has mona, from cartoon a day after the mass protest in which at least 15 protesters were killed. more people took to the street, they started barricading some of the main roads around the capitol tomb and some of the residential neighborhoods. and they say that's in response to the amount of excessive force that was shown by the security forces. now the police made their
