sponsor nationwide protest. his officials had said the legislation made it easier for the private sector to buy green from farmers, but many growers feared they'd be forced to sell produce at much lower prices. among those who were angry were politicians in prime minister moody's own governing party, which has suffered defeats in local elections in recent weeks and next year. moody face is a crucial election in india's most populous states. well, let's say i get more and i from pathname a towel. she joins as life form and you deli and it looks like we are having difficulty as getting hold of path in the mid town. but in the meantime, java demons, sorry, is a political analyst and commentator. he explains why this decision by mosey was purely political. the significance is that they've done it because they fear that they could lose their power. this u. p. like your correspondence was telling us,

holds the key to who's daily. there are 403 states in the prevention. assembly one targeting line of them come tro rest and you'll be read the farmers out in a majority. the fall was the largest working component of popping off those 139 sheets. the b g p had close to 90. if the b g, b loses and then it's gotten from there for them and you'll be and it's called, then raise your question question huge question marks over who's delhi in the 2044 elections. so that, that's there for the government does run as read the writing on the wall and decided go back, take a back step, but it won't be easy. and if it does, then just remember the all important. 2024 followed the election yesterday. and then they will pay a huge cost because right now you manage to that you promise to farmers and sort of try to limit the damage by retreating. if you go back on it the next time that

option will not be there. and the put it could fall out of that would be huge. will return that to that story later. but for now, poland has accused bella risk of continuing south asylum seekers cross into you territory. that's despite the bell russians clearing a makeshift camp on the polish border on thursday. the roofs official fe, hundreds of moves voluntarily to a reception sensor. the western borders with bella roofs remain essentially sealed thousands of migrants in refugees, including children, have been stuck in freezing conditions at the border. for days. let's get more and i from acid bag. he joins us live from high north to us on the pool. which side of the board with bella, bruce acid, just give us a sense of how the situation stands. this are. well, the polish authorities have said this morning that they are still being a tensile all be from small groups of people to cross the border. now what we can

tell you is that people are crossing the border. we have been hearing from activists about people that they've encountered in this ancient forests because once they cross the border, is this large, dense, ancient, far as that they have to get through. what is sometimes sub 0 temperatures and we've also heard from a doctor and hospital who said that around 180 people had been treated over the last month and a half. and that's just from this hospital. there are many that spread across the border. now we also understand that the russian president vladimir putin has had a phone conversation with us by the russian counterpart, alexander nutrition. cobra was stressed that they should be cooperation between minsk and the european union. we know that this venue has reinforced its border with by the roost, the ukrainians, a thing that they must build, a barrier between bella, luce and russia, and ukraine has also deployed national guards to export. and that's quite

significant. considering the russian military build up on the other border alongside ukraine, and they see it's important as important enough to deploy troops along by the route . so the situation is still quiet tense and we understand that the by the russian president, i think center lucas and i had a phone conversation with jim and chance to get where he offered a humanitarian car. do that, that you would create for 2000 refugees to make their way to germany, and then by the route to help those people that one to the run 5000 to return to the home countries. but that was rejected by the you and germany. and meanwhile, i said this being a powerful intervention from the commissioner for human rights as powerful indeed, she's been quite strong. now, she has criticized the state of emergency. she said that the political situation is sustained by a narrative of security. she said that the state of emergency has harmful

consequences along her as well as this or exclusions on. and we've been reporting on exclusions on for the last 10 days. now, agencies and journals are not allowed into the exclusion zone. we can't get right up to the border. we can't tell you exactly what the polish authorities are doing to keep people lacked. now she said that the agencies should be allowed into give humanitarian assistance. and that the, that the zone is limiting. much needed. transparency and accountability and journalists should be allowed to all areas along the border to do to so to do so freely and safely. now she has a, she's also said that she's her 1st hand accounts are consistent accounts of these pushback, swear polish authorities of put people back across the border. and in some cases, those people wanted asylum and suddenly did emergency medical medical assistance. and she said that that should be stopped immediately. but she did say that she had been heartened by activists and human rights organizations that were trying to help

people in poland or that had crossed the border. but she said that there was a palpable atmosphere of hate and fear to before people offering humanitarian assistance. and she noted that some doctors, their vehicles had been attacked and damaged and she called on the polish authorities to investigate those incident. but she has said that the state of emergency shouldn't continue. and a humanitarian organizations, agencies, and jones should be allowed into the exclusion zone. to be up to report and give assistance to people that need it. ok, i said, beg their live form. the polish bella luce border are said for now. thank you very much indeed, disturbing tests many there. that's air statement from the u. human rights. commissioner, let's get more on there. some rory or keith, he's a specialist on the legal and political aspects of migration. and also runs a humanitarian analysis service called cracky. he joins us by scope from vessel

only key in greece, and it is good to have you withers. let's just clear up some of the language at right now. are these people my grants are? are they asylum seekers? i think we have to treat them as if they are asylum seekers on until the point of which they failed to apply for asylum on the lore is very, very clear on this. people are entitled to answer to crossable to answer country and vain, and aren't only about when they are obliged to express their desire to apply for asylum. so i think at this point we have to treat them as if they're asylum seekers, even if they were migrants, they would be a case that the way that they've been treated is morally terrible and are to really go. but yes, at this point i think asylum seekers is the only sensible twenties. okay, cuz we are here hearing and i'm looking at this report now from the u. human rights commissioner, who's talking about l treatments, sexual violence, other abuses committed by state agents in bella. ruth,

are talking about push backs, and my understanding is that push backs are illegal under international law when people are trying see a coin asylum. i mean, is there any of this legal? is it legal for poland to erect fences and push people back? if they have a legitimate claim of asylum, it's not legal for them to arm erect senses or to deploy as they have gone. as i mean at the moment on the polish border, i apologize but, but there are 5 armed people for every one, man, woman and child who's attempting to her and poland, and no, it's not legal aid, it's absolutely legal. and i mean, i know why you said if they have a legitimate claim to asylum, but in fact, we don't know whether they have a legitimate claim to asylum until they are allowed to apply for asylum. and so at this point, none reads absolutely the illegal or poland his during will at this stage, the year standing full square behind poland and its actions is the you breaking

international humanitarian law at this stage as well? sentimental? yes, on that one of the arguments has been put forward. ready and is quite interesting, i had your correspondence mention that in the last couple of hours, it's come to light that are in conversation with anger with michael arms. alexander lucas shanker offered that they should be 2000 people allowed to enter. poland. a loss runs to the huge through a humanitarian corridor, and the european union has dismiss thigh. they are out of hand. yes, the european union is acting absolutely legally and it knows ease. the european union knows international law whole and knows international, the polish government, those international or and they know that they've broken sasha, or am, is larissa safe country and keep these? because critics will say they've already arrived in a safe country. if people legitimately want to apply for asylum, could they not do it there? well, there were 2 questions to be raised there. the 1st is on the concept of a safe country does not actually hold any um,

so specific status in international law. there is no obligation for anybody to apply for asylum in the 1st country that they reach. they are entitled to continue moving until they reach somewhere that they want to gain asylum. the 2nd thing is yes, over the last few days, i think that there is a very strong case to be made that we can't really argue to. belarus is a safe place to these people have asked that, so i'm sorry to jump in. it's interesting. you say that there's no obligation for people to apply for asylum in the 1st case, save country they reach, because that does seem to be the narrative that many countries in europe, particularly in the north of europe, put forwards or but we are running out of time just quickly as clear from your testimony here that the e u pool and belarus, everyone essentially is breaking international law. so how do we bring these people to justice who enforces this for a to very good question at the moment they really isn't about either could hold out political block, the size of wealth and power of the european union to account to this,

i would suggest that anybody who is unhappy might think about attempting to raise the case of the international criminal court, but fundamentally there is no force that can force the european union to upholden, to protect him through by, by international law. and that this is a challenge to the entire re, international legal system of this plan. okay, rory. okay, great to get your thoughts. thank you very much. indeed for joining us on the al, to searing user. let's take you back to our top story. now. india's prime minister saying that he will strap controversial laws that would have impacted farmers. we cannot talk to puff natal or correspondence, he joins as in new delhi poverty. if movie is backing during the here, why your protest is still out there. that one haven't they? when they have one in a way they have in fact been celebrating a while ago we saw them celebrating her, the distributing suite. there were also busing firecrackers. but as you can see

behind me, these temporary structures that they put up last year when they decided to camp out until the laws are revoked, us till our people are still here and actually have someone who hasn't low testing hill for a yes. so of the prime minister has decided to revoke the laws a why you said protesting. actually both families will introduce in parliament. so it should be plugged in parliament and not on an open speech. so we're still waiting for a written announcement and on next session of parliament they have said that they've been to work, so we have it in for that you've been protesting for a year. now. how has that been? you've been through all the seasons? yes, we have means farmers are the one who bought all the seasons and we are the hard working. so people of the country, so we have to go through all these seasons so we will be fighting because we are fighting. what are democracy? ok, so here you have at one of the protesters telling us that they're not going to go back on to the parliament, which actually passed the laws will revoke. and you also see centering,

a sense of distrust. oh, you know, the prime minister didn't make the announcement, but the protest has said there were several key things. he was he, excuse me, he missed out. for example, a yearly $700.00 farm was have died during the course of the protest doctors not mention. also farmers have been pushing the government to guarantee them a minimum price for that crop. another issue that the prime minister did not mention in his speech today, and that's something protesters are not happy about. have the miss how that life her as a very nice thank you all. just because in the 1st country in western europe to reimpose a food cool with 90 loc time, the measure starting on monday will last for a maximum of 20 days and is also making vaccinations compulsory from suffering. and they've been germany. the health minister says the country is in an emergency. spawn hasn't rule dice and national lockdown. germany has seen a record rate over infections, and

a 3rd of that population hasn't been vaccinated on thursday. the lower house of parliament approves you restrictions will have more on the call with 19 lisa in the show, but also look at how other european nations struggling to cope with a search and infection. so security forces who don't defend their actions against protest and is find out why a strictly as cricket has kept in the had suspect, just a few weeks ahead of the ashes. santa will have all the details for you later this, these are ah, the secretary of state fairs president joe biden will hold a summit on africa to increase cooperation with the united states. as anyone can meet the announcements in nigeria during the 2nd leg of his trip to africa,

greece is a lie foreign saying, a boucher, what would you be know about this proposed summit? well basically the secretary of state mentioned before africa departments and leaders here in the united states is going to re engage with africa just like it doing with europe after the trump administration for years of administration. and right now, what they're looking at is to reinforce and strengthen bilateral relations in the field of security and feel of becoming partnership as well as do much strengthening democracy in the continent. what bab lincoln did at the meeting this morning is to said the total of the summit. interestingly, his announcement comes and of course his trip to africa comes at a time when the chinese are very much in africa and also planning another summit.

probably before the end of this month in the cost and again where blinking is heading to from nigeria that the chinese are trying to sort of cement their existing relationship with africa. now basically, over the last 4 years, or 6 years, we're seeing how the relationship, economic relationship and partnership between africa and the united states. us dipped with a united states not buying much. so countries like nigeria in terms of oil, as well as the preference by trying to look in what into the united states, as well as his body language and sometimes approaches about africa and african leaders as distance the united states or just as some african leaders away from the united states and china has been catching in on that, apart from that african leaders, many african leaders actually looking for lows, quick loans to fund development activities. but a lot of people are lot of economic analysts in africa as well as the united states

and europe, believe that much of these funding is being siphoned away by corrupt politicians. some of the problems they've been having with the united states is the assistance the united states, europe and other western powers that such knows are coming with some stringent conditions with china. it's different. many of these african countries go to china and get quick lewis to fund their projects, or sometimes some of these moments. in fact, under i'm not accounted for. and that's one of the things that a blinking highlighted after his meeting with president mohammed bought it yesterday. that africa, he expressed the fear that africa and african countries, it slowly inching towards a very serious debt crisis by taking laws and financing projects that are not feasible. currently, china funds nearly all more than a 3rd of infrastructure products in africa. these include rail networks, road net networks, and they can make up programs in africa. ok,

thank you very much. indeed. i respect a lie for in food she let her know to see don, where the police chief is defended. security forces insisting they use only legal means to control recent opposition process to say at least 15 protested, killed by my fire on wednesdays. the worst day of violence is the military power last month. they had a police is denying it goldman that that thing police care gas and rubber bullets, protecting civilians along for the safety of citizens and to avoid disorder. police forces are usually keen during operations of protecting protests and marches to keep weapons fit for use in context. of civilians, mainly relying on tier gas women of different types of hillside are joins as live

from a car to marisol. the police say the only legal means so proportionate force to contain those protests. does that tell you before you have seen when they did that that security forces have always been ad denying that got they got involved in any killings of the civilians over the civilian group still says that they are responsible for this killing. so as of today that, that there are expectations of the new protest to be arrived at, particularly after this friday prayer in at the a l. l, and saw mosque. and also, there will be the prayers his prayers in absentia for those well being killed on wednesday during the wine and confrontations between their military, a security forces and b, a protest there. so and also we just received a report that the, the desk was haitians of lawyers off dar food,

said that they have initiated an investigation to gather the information, the evidences of the crimes committed against the civilians. and they asked people, protest as particularly the week them's families to provide them with the, at the evidence is that they have such as that, that, that, that the documents or the, the videos and the other materials that they have. so this could be a critical step because that very same association was one of the main organization who field a file for the international criminal record that in that later eventually. and that the, the, the, the ousted, the president, long time president of the sheer to, to, to the international criminal court who do not know whether they are planning to follow a kind of similar path or not. but in any way, it is, it seems that they critical a step. and as of today, it's relatively a peaceful day that barricades of briggs and rocks that have been said by the

protest as are removed a dead that the main roads and bridges are re open. but the swish is quite delicate . and if their security forces interfered to their professors, that could escalate the passion any time here. reeseville 3rd r as in car to him. thank you, russell canadian troops or help him with rescue efforts in the flood devastation province own british columbia. rude speeches and railways have been washed away, and several times remain cut off the official fe. they expect this to be the costliest natural disaster in canadian history. she returns the reports form abbotsford. the sumac prairie is british columbia's agricultural half lounge, but now it's submerged. in fact, some us prairie had been su must lake for millennia, before it was drained in the early 20th century for settlement. now it's a vast floodplain particularly vulnerable to more frequent weather extremes that

but didn't take the opportunity to link the catastrophic flooding in british columbia to greenhouse gas emissions. but climate scientists are being explicit. they say that is all set is part of a destructive cycle caused by a human induced global warming just a few months ago. a record heat wave caused by changing jet streams lead to forest fires, that stripped the landscape of trees and the stability of their roots. systems that was then followed by intense storms fueled by the warming ocean that washed away everything in their path. in the past, climate scientists are locked in to say that one specific weather event was definitively connected to global warming. but now such as the strength of the science, that ambiguity is gone. they say this is what climate change looks like. she advertise the al jazeera abbotsford still heads on al jazeera u. s. president joe biden hosts his northern and southern neighbors at the point
