8:12 pm
a significant policy shift where the united states and now to the agreement with mexico or mexico has agreed to take in 30000 migrants from these 4 countries that we mentioned to every month from the united states migrant specifically who had crossed into the united states illegally. the other side of that deal is the united states has pledged to provide 30000 visas to migrants from these countries so long as they arrive in the united states biplane and have sponsors in the united states . a very strict sort of rules on the side of who the united states is going to be providing these visas to. now, shortly after arriving in mexico and following a short visit to the city of el paso on the us mexico border, president biden tweeted the following. he said that our problems at the border didn't arise overnight and they won't be solved overnight, but we can come together to fix this broken system, giving you a sense of the importance that they're placing on immigration at this bilateral
8:13 pm
meeting, taking place today. it's also not the only topic of discussion bilateral security, reducing drug trafficking from mexico to the united states, specifically, drugs like centerville and met. method fed a means while also reducing arms trafficking from the united states into mexico. these are the topics that we expect will be very high on the agenda. the meetings today. one of our rapids live very mexico city. many thanks. israel steel far right . national security minister is a mob been via, has told police to remove palestinian flags from public spaces. it follows last week's release of the longest held palestinian prisoner and in his way the jail cream. eunice waved the palestinian flag when he was welcomed home to his village in israel. and a statement been given, reacted by saying, quote, lawbreakers paid waving the palestinian flag, encouraged terrorism and close iran. calm reports from west jerusalem. it's perfectly legal under israeli law to wave the palestinian flag. there's no actual
8:14 pm
law against it. there is a police discretion, however that we've seen hundreds of times over the last certainly 1015 years. i've been covering israel and palestine and that's if those are public order issue. and oftentimes, what happens is when there are protests and people are waving palestinian flags, the police will go in and they'll get a, they'll take the flag away from the protesters oftentimes actually escalates the situation. one of the key of times that i've seen this was in may last year during the funeral for our colleague who was killed by the british soldier, sharina ob, luckily, as her huss was bringing her coffin into jaffer gate in the old city for her to go to the the church um there was a palestinian flag in the back of that person, the window he's ready to police actually smashed the window and took out the flag. and again, that kind of inflamed at the situation. so there's a discretionary power that the police have, but this once again is about taking a hard line. it may have been given that the national security minister is
8:15 pm
a very far right m p. he's proudly racist. he's proudly anti arabic power very broadly. and he palestinian and he just wants to use this as to show his support as the a. he's a tough guy that he can put these things into place. however, there may well be legal challenges at all of this from the police for very long time. there has been this discussion within, at is where a security forces about whether it's even worth trying to going take down a flight, whether it's a good use of police time as it was still to come here on al jazeera, thousands of nurses go on strike in new york city, we'll take a look at back and sans and to mom's at a bold mission. find out why this converted. boeing 747, could to the u. k. into the next space power. ah.
8:16 pm
off we go with your weather update for the middle east and africa. good to be with you. and so the rain that has been plaguing the gulf now pushes into iran around those across mountains, very likely to see some flooding there. and as that rain departs for us here in doe has certainly the risk of seen some showers, i think more early on tuesday. but as the day progresses shows push out of there. but look at this, the winds pick up a doha looking at wind gusts, about 45 kilometers per hour on tuesday. so all of this wet weather as it bumps into that colder air, places like cut off, this will fall as snow, probably about 10 centimeters after turkey. we go con conditions for now, but look at this weather pushing in over the g n. so that western side will turn unsettled to rental downpours for places like budrum on tuesday. now for the top end of africa, it breezy north eastern side of algeria, tunisia, and northwestern areas of libya on tuesday. central air is not as bad as it has
8:17 pm
been, actually, most of the rain is falling south of the equator, so we'll pick up the story there. i were talking about places as an b, as in bob way into mozambique at quite down across south africa. but those temperatures have now dropped in cape down to 24 degrees on tuesday. that's it. that's all we'll see again soon. take care. ah, ah, ah, oh, lou.
8:18 pm
ah, hello again. this is al jazeera. let's remind you of the main news. the saw brazil's president has promised to punish those who stormed the seats of power on sunday. order has now been restored in brasilia, off the supporters of the former leda julia balsam aro attacked government buildings. u. s. president joe biden is on his 1st official visit to mexico. he st . you to be president on, but us manuel lopez upward or shortly. migration of drug trafficking are expected to be high on the agenda of pakistan is asking for billions of dollars in aid off to last years. devastating floods which affected more than 30000000 people. it's held a major conference alone with united nations in geneva to rally it's pools. i can
8:19 pm
stand up is the administrator of the united nations development program. he wants to start life from geneva goods, happy with us. so 8 and a half $1000000000.00 pledged to help pakistan recover from these devastating floods. are you happy with that? well, i think it is sad to say that it is a remarkable moment when out of such tragedies, these catastrophic floods comes a moment where the international community really rises to the challenge of supporting and standing shoulder to shoulder over the country, such as pakistan that through no fault of its own experience on top of the pandemic, and many other challenges this extraordinary flight event. last year to day the primaries, so pakistan the u. n. secret general invited the world to come together and to co invest because we always should remember that pakistan and citizens itself is investing billions in the recovery and rehabilitation. but i think what took everyone by surprise today was the generosity and the willingness of the international tweens is a step up. so the commitments and announcements today exceeded our expectations and
8:20 pm
are now standing at around 8 and a half to $9000000000.00 and still counting. so i think this meeting truly has been a success and should offer in this moment of tragedy. also, a ray of hope to the millions of pakistan is who are still either displaced or trying to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. what about the loss and damage deal reached the cop 2070 climate summit that our lab be integrated into recovery and pakistan? will it be integrated? well, as the secretary said today, anybody who looks at what happened in pakistan can see loss and can see damage. but i think we should always be clear that this was a catastrophic event where pakistan needed solidarity his support and resources to recover right now under the auspices of the climate change convention. in shallow shade, just a few weeks ago, an agreement in principle and establishing a loss and damage facility was reach. so that process of putting in place something that will in future help the international community cope with his crisis. the so
8:21 pm
called new normal, many more of these extraordinary extreme weather events happening countries not through any fault of their own becoming victims. and certainly not having the means to deal with these kinds of disasters. that is a process that is now being discussed under the auspices of the climate change dimension. but clearly, the example of pakistan is precisely the illustration of why we do need to pursue these instruments and platforms in the future. but right now, the moment was to act now and to stand with pakistan in solidarity. and i think both the premise and the u. n. sector general managed to persuade the world that this had to happen now. and without politics and above all, with the principle that investing together will allow the country to recover faster . the central general said, today the pakistan is dumbly victimized by climate chaos at a morally bankrupt global financial system. what did you mean by that? well, if you just take the fact that pakistan contributes less than 0.67 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions in the world and yet is the 8th most vulnerable country
8:22 pm
and the global climate risk data index. you already see that in many ways, at through no fault of its own, that is becoming a victim of the inaction of climate change on the colonizing our economies. and therefore, the likelihood of these extreme weather events happening more and more frequently certain is some that is being observed in pakistan in many other countries. the other part of this is that in our international system, in the way that multilateralism, particularly the financial side works, countries that do not qualify least developed countries often fall outside the established mechanisms to support countries in those moments. so small island developing states could lose a 3rd of their gdp in 6 hours of an extreme hurricane event, but not qualify for any support. we need to rethink the way that climate finance both in terms of loss and damage, but also in terms of mitigation. and investing in more rapid transitions to was low carbon economies. and therefore climate compatible and climate resilient economies can happen. it requires significant financing and particularly international
8:23 pm
development finance institutions are now under pressure and clearly all so therefore a big piece of the hopeful agenda that more can be done here in the coming years. another part of what the secretary refers to is that many in the financial system still invests in yesterday's economy, making the problem worse and not in tomorrow's economy. good stokes. yes, up, buddy. thanks, dave, for being with us. that sac of side of the, the administration of the united nations development program. thank you. thousands of nurses, a 2 major hospitals in new york city on strike sighting, staff shortages. i, they say they've been forced to act by management's failure to tackle what they call a crisis of unsafe stuffing. they want it's putting patients of risk and causing thought out among healthcare workers. let's go live now true. i'll just say was kristin salumi, who's in new york, where those nurses are on strike. what's this all about? been christian. yes. yes,

8:25 pm
a problem even before the corona virus had done it before on a virus pandemic, i added to burn out, added to you or nurses on the job and they say that they are sticking to their guns and clearly they are. 6 out on the sides of the road, honking up passers by, engaging patients as they come to the hospital because they're worried about the future of their profession and the future of their jobs. out here is kristen salumi that live in new york. kristen, buddy, thanks a date a village and west germany is to be demolished in order to expand a coal mine. thousands of climate activists have gathered up the gods file size to stop the expansion plans, but as germany comp since dependency on russian gas and oil, it's warning that it will be to use coal for energy for several more years. correspondence step boston reports now from lucy, off and she says the stand off between police and protest as could last for up to
8:26 pm
a month. the police has now announced that they will study eviction within 48 hours also. and you can see that they have moved closer to the village already than we saw, for example, on sunday, a large police forces already at the entrance of the village. and you can also see here, i decide that the, the company, the mining company is also preparing the expansion of the mine already with a lot of equipment coming in. but the activists here on the street have already arrived, erected. a lot of barre case. you see a lot of trees been cut down, put on the road here. you see larger barricades, even behind, and also all the way over. there is this large cam that have built themselves the villages of serat. hundreds of them. they have left the area before. but a lot of activists from all over europe, climate activists have moved in here to protect what they say, the last remaining village. and to definitely try to stop the expansion of the mind
8:27 pm
. they say germany is violating the perilous climate agreement and also violating its own energy policies. the urge for renewable so by the government asked that we need this goal because of the energy crisis and the insurance just because of the war you grades. covered 19 is spreading rapidly in one of china's most populous populace. provinces health officials say that 89 percent of people in the central region of who none have been infected, that's roughly around 88 and a half 1000000 people. most cases are said to be mild and asymptomatic. the government says it's determined to reopen the country despite a nation wide surge in infections. thailand has begun welcoming visitors from china after beijing dropped a district cove at 19 travel rules on sunday. the thai government has also ended its mandatory vaccination requirements to return reports from bangkok o ruling out the red carpet on the yes,

8:29 pm
speaking to al jazeera, getting the minister explained. he wants to do everything. so to encourage visitors to come, we evaluate the risk as an opportunity together. and you, i valuation is that there is no risk de still risk, but we have things to overcome those risks. and the financial risks are not inviting people who are the you mean the, find the economic risk of norfolk southern risk? this abrupt you said is an indication of the fact that thailand wants a tourist arrivals from anywhere in the world. the fact they're hoping for $10000000.00 arrivals from china by the end of the year. so, so an indication of how reliant thailand is now on arrivals from china. other asian nations are also hoping to live back chinese tourists. japan was one of the most popular pre pandemic destinations for chinese travelers. although now they'll have to show negative cove at 19 tests. but no entry requirements for barley like
8:30 pm
thailand, indonesia has dropped all korean of ours curbs. although it expects visitor numbers will remain low. thailand however, needs to get back to pre pandemic visitor levels. fast, hardly unhappy, the chinese tourists are coming back. we haven't been able to make a living. we all suffered while they were gone with only a 1000000 chinese arrivals expected in the 1st quarter of the year. that might be wishful thinking with the beijing government lifting all travel restrictions. many asian countries will be hoping chinese visitors make the most for the new found freedom. tony ching al jazeera banker, final preparations are underway for the you case. first of a rocket launch. it's being carried by a repurposed boeing 747. that's scheduled to take off from cornwall on monday. once the plane is over the atlantic ocean, the rocket will be launched. it's carrying 9 small satellites into orbit, which we used by both fucked military and civilians.
