americas have announced an agreement on migration to los angeles declaration creates incentives for countries to take in more migrants. u. s. president joe biden pledged millions of dollars in aid, particularly for venezuelan migrants and for visa processing for cuban and haitians . the u. s. and several south american countries have been experiencing record levels of migration in recent months. 20 countries coming together to launch the last sentence declaration on migration and protection. with this declaration, we're transforming our approach to managing migration in the americas. each of us, each of us is signing up to commitments recognizes the challenges we all share, and the responsibilities impacts on all of our nations. in a moment, we'll hear from latin american, the editor, loosing human in the lean capital santiago. but 1st, let's go to raw reynolds,
2:03 am
who's at the summit of the americas in los angeles, l o, a robot. what other details do you have about this migration agreement? well, emily, as you know, as he said that this is an agreement signed by the united states and 19 other countries including mexico, which is of course a key player in the entire migration problem. it provides for a measure of burden sharing among a south american and central american states. the green to streamline the path for immigrants to resettle get medical care, get shelter, things of that nature and make it more, you mean for them. the u. s. is putting up more than $300000000.00 to facilitate this process. of course, many leaders and advocates will say this is not too much, not enough, rather merely a drop in the bucket. but i will point out that the united states has been frustrated by the rampant corruption in many of the countries that are experiencing
2:04 am
migration pressures and have been frustrated. and that's one reason why they're funneling all this money through international banking, lending agencies and regional international bank banking institutions. secondly, the countries have agreed to absorb higher numbers of refugees. for example, mexico will put 20000 refugees who are currently living in that country into its workforce, sort of making them regularized in that country. the u. s. as agreed to accept 20000 refugees from the hemisphere. again, that is not a large number. and many people will not be satisfied with that. the 3rd leg of the triad here is border enforcement. the u. s. pledges to streamline and make more fair. the way that it nits refugees,
2:05 am
migrants. people seeking to enter the united states at its borders and will also head up a law enforcement strike force. president biden saying, in his statement, if you are trafficking and profiting from innocent migrants we are coming after you, this is of course, is not a solution to the migration problem. the causes are many, the pressures are very strong and the reasons why people leave their homes are, are, are multiple. but it is perhaps, given the controversies that have already shook this summer and marked it a better deal than many thought they might get it all. and. 8 but the us excluded cuba, venezuela and nicaragua, from the summit, citing rights violations, mexico's president and a number of other ladies boy caught at the meeting and protest. let's listen to what the prime minister of barbados had to say about washington is wrong. that
2:06 am
cuban venezuela, nicaragua, not here because as you heard from bahamas, that we need to speak with those with when we disagree. and we don't only need to narrow gas, that's the part of the problem of the world is too much narrow gas than instead of broadcast that there's too much talk in that instead of talking with. but secondly, those countries must equally recognise that you cannot want to fully participate if you're not prepared equally to engage and to see progress. and the simple priority must be people. not a d ology. sir rob. this summit certainly has been without its controversies. how will the exclusions impact the implementation of this agreement? that's not clear because the excluded countries were not the party to it. they are the source of immigrants rather than the countries handling the immigrant flows. so
2:07 am
the reasons why those countries were excluded is because the, by the administration considers the anti democratic democracy and strengthening democratic institutions was a main pillar of this summit. and all of the participants at least gave lip service to it. one might also look at potential political problems that mr. biden might have suffered or encountered at home. had he actually extended an invitation to the likes of nicholas madura or. ready or the president of nicaragua, daniel artega, to come to set foot on us soil, so unlikely they would have done so even if they were invited. however, that was a point that the administration thought was a bridge too far. so we will have to see about implementation. we will have to see about whether the countries live up to their pledges. we'll have to see about the
2:08 am
issue of corruption and whether the money that is going to facilitate these these plans can be spent in the correct way, rather than lining pockets. people who don't deserve it. and so it'll, it'll be a process, it'll take a long time. but i just want to emphasize emily, this is not the answer to migration. migration is going to be with us for a long time. and this, if anything can help to ameliorate it, we'll have to see if that works. yeah, we'll watch this space. thank you very much, rob for break down press robe reynolds live for us in los angeles. ok. let's go to our latin american and it's at lucy in human now. who's in chillies? capital santiago? lucy, how's the region reacted to this declaration? is it enough to deal with this extraordinary migration process? we're picking up from what rob just said. clearly, it is not an new fact. one of the things that latin american leaders really want
2:09 am
and had hoped would be, would be dealt with of more strongly in this, in this summit, is the idea of stopping the source of the migration. in other words, the misery, the poverty, the, our lack of democracy in some cases, app from opportunities, the violence, et cetera. that of course, and many of the countries where that migration originates, particularly i'm speaking about countries in central america, with the exception of panama and costa rica. and also of course, venezuela and cuba also is now a country from where more and more migrants are now trying to make it into the united states. there, there is a sense and certainly the biden administration had said that it was very, very important to, to put money into development in these countries when, when he 1st took office right now, what we're hearing or what you've just heard from rob as well. is that it's more
2:10 am
sorted to do, try to help the countries that are receiving that migrants like like columbia, which has millions of venezuelan so some $312000000.00 is not going to do the trick. so it is better than nothing, but certainly not enough both in terms of helping countries that are taking the majority of these migrant, which is not the united states and canada. interestingly enough, they really offer to take very few considering the size of both those countries and also in terms of dealing with that, with the source of the problem. we appreciate you breaking it down for us lucy newman, my press in santiago, thank you. to the u. k now and the government has been given the grain line to proceed with a controversial plan to send asylum sake. it's arriving in the country. so we're wanda, a british judge rejected arguments from charities in human rights groups that the policy was unlawful. it. a barber filed this report from outside the coach

a defeat for opponents of the governments ruined the program, at least in the short term. the you k. hi court says next tuesday's flight to porting the 1st group of asylum seekers took a gully. can go ahead pro refugee groups had argued the policy was unlawful, and they were backed in court on friday by the you and refugee agency, the you and hcr. she outlined the hopelessness of the judicial system. i grew under, it doesn't have facilities, it doesn't have lawyers, it doesn't have interpreters, it simply doesn't have the capacity to deal with this. but of course, that is not the issue of the fact is that rwanda is unsafe, it's a place where any opposition to the county government is often locked up. we don't want to see refugees locked up. we want to see refugees look off the safely. but the judge here said it was important the home of his be able to implement immigration control decisions. he's allowed the groups to appeal vote that's going to happen on monday. all along. the government's accept it,
2:12 am
that they would be legal challenges to its plan while insisting it would soon be sending people to rwanda. but it's still possible. it could face a white, a judicial review, including into whether to wander, in fact, is a safe country to send vulnerable people. the u. k. in rwanda announced the agreement back in april. the 1st stages involved a payment of more than $150000000.00 to the rwandan government. the british government hopes the scheme will deter people from crossing the english channel from france in small boats. last year 28000 people made the dangerous journey so far this year, more than 10000 people have done so. but experts doubt that the ruined scheme will change much. you take government has already been into the range. busy of what had been described as whole starting bottom and policies toward my seekers. and these have not be at people from costing board. and on the contrary, reducing the goals for, for claiming a title increase if the document you go for now,

2:18 am
it's been in 40 years. prices rising 8.6 percent over the year through may. and it isn't just about numbers. it's about sacrifice. it's rough. i mean, everybody is so high from taking all your money in. just have to sit down and eat less, but it means americans paychecks simply don't go as far as they used to flying costs . 37 percent more rent. that's up almost 7 percent and food is across the board. more expensive. the price of chicken up 5 percent in a year. you might find picking one price for the same weight and then go back a little bit higher. you know, behind the biggest increase by far gas, it is up by almost 50 percent in just a year according to gas money that the website, the track cost,
2:19 am
the average gallon of gas in the u. s. is $5.00 the highest. it has ever been, there are numerous reasons for the rising prices. a spike in food and energy costs resulting from russia's invasion of ukraine is one prudent price, i guess in america hard. but other prices are rising because of the ongoing supply chain issues triggered by the covet pandemic. there's too much demand, not enough supply, and a shortage of transportation capacity. president joe biden is also blaming company consolidation for many of the increases for $99.00 major ocean lines. shipping companies that ship from asia to the united states. 9, they form 3 consortium. these companies have raised their prices by as much as 1000 percent. congress is poised to pass a bill that would give us regulators more power over the shipping companies, but that likely won't have an immediate impact. and next week,
2:20 am
the federal reserve is poised to raise interest rates again. meaning, debt will be that much more expensive for american, and when interest rates keep rising, people feel, well, credit is bus easy to access, targeted by a home. that's also, you know, a negative. but these are the sorts of things that have to happen. as you say, the central bank needs to take action. it is taking action in attempt to stabilize the u. s. economy with americans pain. a heavy price paddle have al jazeera washington hundreds of thousands of heck, tears of protected jungle in columbia. as amazon rainforest is being destroyed every year, trays of being burn, so cut down to make space for cattle, ranching, mining and drug growing operations. in the 1st of 2 report, south jersey was alexandro ramp, yet he flies over the amazon to assess the damage and illegal road cuts through what used to be priest. the rain forest around the cemetery of centuries,
