9:02 pm
a migration detention center. this footage obtained by the reuters news agency appears to show uniformed men failing to unlock the doors to allow migrants to escape from burning cells. the cell is seen full of smoke as men kick at a locked door, and as the smoke rises, officials in uniform are seen walking away, apparently leaving the doors are locked. in the past few hours, mexico's president has said those responsible will be brought to justice. deny that will be no impunity, neither that those responsible for this painful tragedy be clarified, and that those who caused it beheld specifically accountable and punished in accordance with the law. meanwhile, fear is protest as including families have gathered outside the center. they blame immigration officials in god's for the deaths. on tuesday, president obama dor said the blaze was caused, after some migrants set fire to mattresses, after finding out they were going to be deported. i suffered a phone. i can, i can, for you to all of those people who died. the guards could have opened the gates
9:03 pm
because there was only a few meters between the gate that separated them from the migration offices. they didn't open the gate, leaving them locked in, the fire advanced and they didn't leave. they didn't help them because they didn't feel like it. the guards treat you badly. i won't, i'll from john hallman in mexico city, a phalanx of ambulances. they came too late for many the fire at a migration detention facility in the mexican border city of what is had already claimed dozens, many of them guatemalans, some venezuelans, o desperate relatives had nothing to do but moon, or wait for news. and now you can have a relative die and they don't tell you he's dead. nothing. immediately there were questions. chiefly, how did the 5 star in his early morning press conference,
9:04 pm
met scot's president, arrived with dancers. it was the migrants themselves. he said, a strong to will get it. this had to do with a protest that they started. when they found out they will be deported. they put mattresses of the shelters, dorsey, and set fire to them. they didn't think it would cause his terrible tragedy. protests have happened before met screw state migration centers. those have stepped through the doors, often describe the most over crowded prison. but this time around, there are more questions. how did the authorities allow this to happen to those under the care dangly? venezuela? migrant says she was outside when it happened, though no letter. i've been waiting for their father since 1 pm. it told me they were going to hand him over to me. then at 10 p. m. we started to see smoke billowing from everywhere. everybody ran away. but they left the men locked and everybody was removed from the area, but they left men locked and they never opened the door. oh, to that, what is with
9:05 pm
a detention center is located, has become a pressure cooker. in recent months, we've large numbers of migrants and asylum seekers staying there before a push to get to the u. s. o, shelter heads and activists of accused authorities of criminalizing them on monday night, the pressure cooker boiled over. now amid the grief the inquest will begin. john hohmann. ouch is eda mexico city. okay. as like go live now to man overflow and mexico city protests have been growing my while, particularly after this latest video. i try rob the calls for accountability here in mexico following that fire and see that what is they claimed the lives of 38 people. those calls are only growing louder. those images, very dramatic images from inside of the detention center that have now it's are to outraged not only here in mexico,
9:06 pm
but around the world. we've heard from the secretary general of the united nations antonio terrace, was called for an investigation into what's happened. if you see, if you've seen those images, if you could see that video now at no point does it appear as though the guards come even close to the doors, making any effort whatsoever to open the doors to allow the migrants trapped inside as that fire in the snow filled the inside of that detention center and ultimately claimed the lives of these 38 people. and you want to give you a sense of where we are outside of the offices of mexico's ministry of the interior were activists recently held a demonstration, protesting with their calling in human conditions at these detention centers that are located in different cities, sporadically across mexico. i want to bring in one of those at activists. this is maggie loaded the with an organization called oath. there was dreams, dreams, in an ex young maggie. give us your impressions. what. what were your thoughts? what went through your mind when you saw those images again? very dramatic images where you see the guards essentially not doing anything at all
9:07 pm
as these men burned alive inside that detention center. yes, i mean, as a person that has grown up in the united states and documented as a person that has returned to make it going, it's part of the community of deployed and forced to return young men and women in mexico. it was outrageous and we were here with other organizations like the one that boy i mean got on his initial landlord and other organizations processing. because seeing those images, it's just really clear that we are treated and we continue to be treated in a very humane way. and we've got to think that beast men, many of them, most of them were brown, black, indigenous man and b man were treated where it left there without any sort of. i mean, they were just left there. and i think it's important to say that also, despite the fact that the supreme court in mexico ruled that it is unconstitutional to racially profiled migrants and people in may, he'd vote, they continue to racially profile them if they continue to detain them. and these
9:08 pm
are the consequences and we are not exempt as people that have lived up in the us and documented that are being supported every day that are here and make equal way not except to continue to be treated that way and to continue to be killed then i think here today and what happened, this is not the 1st time that happens, that to remember that also the president of mexico just call that her without also avoiding the responsibility of the state. to emphasize that this is a detention center. this is a prison, this is a jail and we're calling for the end of detention centers in the united states and mexico in other countries. this is a global, a regional problem that i think i hold that. what happened? i hope that both videos and those images really like we get to that point where it's not like we cannot continue to accept these violations and but data people that have nobody to claim them. they're not allowing families to come to mexico to be able to claim for their bodies. where's that accountability? why are those reparations? and we need best state and the united states as well, to hold them accountable,
9:09 pm
to come out and speak, and to take action. we've won several things we want. a a mexican immigration here, the commissioner to be fired to quit because what he has been doing all this time has been continuing to violate the human rights of folks. thank you so much, maggie. that was maggie loaded the which with the migrants rights organization. and one thing that maggie says here, that's very important is that these migrants died within the custody of the state, which is really what's fueling. a lot of the outrage here in mexico right now, but thank you very much. indeed. that's mirabella talking to us from mexico. city, we're going to bring in alex miller, she's director of the immigration justice campaign. she's joining us from tucson, arizona, which is just a west of suite that the right us where this fire took place. there have of course been other tragedies at other centers along the border, but as money was saying, this is significant, not least because it happened under
9:10 pm
a state control center. alex miller in to song a straw matheson in doha al jazeera. i don't know if you can hear me. are you able to? can hear me. ok. i took him. that's great. thank you very much. i was just making the point because i where you are in tucson, arizona. i was just making the point, you're just west of us. so that's what i swear the far has taken place. and as our corresponded, manuel was just pointing out. the significance of this is the fact that although there have been other tragedies at other centers along the border, this one happened in a state controlled center. and it's absolutely heartbreaking. and you know, so long as the mexican and united states governments are my only focus on the current space, immigration policies that exclude people, instead of reinforcing the humanity of my friends and investing in an inhumane
9:11 pm
asylum systems. these tragedies will. ready continue like you said, this is not new. we saw similar with the the semi tra, incident last year where my friends dozens of my facebook were found dead. this is avoidable. the guess that manuel was it was talking to during the protest, there was saying that what was needed was pressure to be brought from foreign governments, particularly than i did states on the mexican government in order to be able to change the system. and i'll just be able to, to make it better. and as she put it, i did stop again as i stressed she put at violating the human rights of those at the centers. i'm confident could you be that foreign governments are actually willing to put that pressure on governments like mexico's other than simply ringing the hands and seeing how, sorry, the odd that this happened and i think it goes beyond pressure. it is responsibility. part of what we're seeing in border towns like what is or like here
9:12 pm
in arizona, in nogales and nora is the result of american immigration policies that continue to externalize, the asylum process and push migrant unrelentingly into mexico. we see that now at the border closure under title $42.00. and we saw that with the so called migrant protection protocol in push back policies are metering even before that. we need a system in the united states that recognizes the needs of my friends and gives them a wheel shot of seeking asylum instead of outsourcing this problem to mexico. why do you think it is that given the fact that what you say that if there was a proper system in place, that would actually ease the burden on the centers like this one ensued of horrors . why do you think it is that there is not more effort being made both by the united nation that forgive me the united states and also mexico predominantly the u . s. in order to try to improve the system?
9:13 pm
because it does seem to those of us looking at from the outside that that would make the most sense and would solve so many problems. it's really bad. i think the fact is that migration and immigration has been so deeply politicize the united states, but it is really hard to find a practical solution. and unfortunately, that includes the process to seek asylum. and we have, you know, domestic law and international legal obligations to provide protection for individuals who are leading persecution in their home countries. and yet we have failed to do so in any real way, especially recently under the border externalization policies. and so my, my hope is that you can look at a tragedy like the one we saw last night that continues with people still injured and teaching, seeking help support and care, and realize that we're not just talking about numbers at the border. we are talking
9:14 pm
about people who deserve help and deserve support smell as director of the immigration justice campaign. we appreciate you joining us and to 0. thank you very much indeed. back of the united nations has adopted a landmark resolution asking the world's top court to define the obligations of countries to combat climate change that was passed by a majority bank more and more than a 130 countries. the call for the international court of justice to provide advisory opinion on climate crisis was launched by the republic of underwater in 2021. the court's opinion will be non binding, but it could help in future climate. negotiations and lawsuits are diplomatic. editor james base has more in the general assembly, there wasn't actually a vote on this. there wasn't a vote because there wasn't any objection. no country objected. and so it passed by consensus, welcomed by the prime minister venue are 2. they were the country that had been
9:15 pm
negotiating this behind the scenes. he told me that i can now say to my kids and kids all round the world leaders of the world are listening to their concerns. of course his country venue are 2, is one of those countries has whole existence is threatened by climate change and suffered a cyclone, devastating cycling earlier on this year. and it's interesting that the original genesis of this resolution came from students last students in her new are to who were in a class project discussing this. and that class project eventually led to this resolution that's gone through today. immediately after it passed, i spoke to the you and 2nd general antonia gutierrez, he said it was a big victory bars un inside his will also tell you, and there's always a but with these things that yes, it went through with all those countries. i'm agreeing with it, but privately they don't believe they all really do. and it's just that no one really wants to put their head above the parapet and be the country that objected
9:16 pm
to this. and so what some campaigners are saying to me as this now goes to the world's top, caught the international court of justice expect. and when that court takes delivery of this and starts its deliberations, lots and lots of countries to put in their national submissions of how they see this. and i think what that, what people are telling me is that they fear that some of those countries, the big carbon emitters, are going to try and put in those submissions. the idea that the court should be very narrow in its focus. new car sold in the european union must be 0 emission, starting from 2035. that's according to a new law that's been agreed by in you countries. the target is designed to drive a rapid de carbon ization of new car production in europe. the law will also require all new cars sold from 2030 to have a 55 per cent, lower c o 2 emissions compared to 2021 levels. transport accounts for nearly a quarter of current e emissions anymore. i had on the news are including were going to follow congolese
9:17 pm
soldiers as they take territory back from n 23 fighters in eastern democratic republic of congo and observing ramadan during somali as recalled drought report. and how people there are breaking their foss with little food and water and in sport, the tennis world, number one is looking good in his effort to win a 2nd straight title in united states. ah, tensions arising between israel and its closest ally, the united states over prime minister benjamin netanyahu is controversial plans to overhaul the legal system. following the biggest protest from the nation's history . netanyahu has delayed the proposed plan, but president joe biden, as expressed concerns and urged for compromise. netanyahu's initially appeared defiant and said israel won't bow to international pressure,
9:18 pm
but now he says he thinks a compromise could be possible with the opposition. like many songs were israel, i'm very concerned and i'm concerned that they get this great. it cannot continued on the road. and i go to made that clear. i hopeful, hopefully a prime minister will act in a way that he try to work out genuine compromise. let me see was real and united states had the occasion differences. but i want to assure you that the alliance between the world's greatest democracy and a strong, proud and independent democracy, israel in the heart of the middle east, is unshakable. nothing can change that, but it's most joining us live from western of islam. so prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying he's going to try to reach some sort of compromise.
9:19 pm
and then, yeah, who's the only one who's been sort of sounding up beat about this? you listen to what the opposition parties are saying here in israel and the cover a broad spectrum from left to right. they're not sharing that same optimism though a meetings to day wednesday with 3 small political parties. they followed meetings on tuesday with representatives from parties of yale, a peed, and benny ganz, the former prime minister, and defense minister. they want the government to take this law out from parliament. netanyahu is only suspending into movies. go going to bring it back in the next parliamentary session some time in april. the opposition parties say that netanyahu is tampering with judicial independence. he wants to introduce pop politics into choosing who are members of the judiciary. and netanyahu causes author standing trial for corruption and the allegation is he will use this change in the make of the judiciary to get rid of the corruption charges against him.
9:20 pm
charges that netanyahu denies, of course, knew what kind of responses they've been in israel to this upon tension between net and her. yahoo and the u. s. president. not just an israel, of course, but also, particularly within the government itself, will, at most israelis will consider that their relationship with the united states is the most important relationship foreign relations with a foreign government that israel has and compounding the problems of benjamin netanyahu. as he's already unpopular in the polls, paul say that he would pull say he would lose an election were to be called now because of his handling of the crisis in the last few months and weeks cassandra handling of this attempt to overhaul? did you dish every now adding to this is criticism from the u. s. that makes him look that makes your credibility weakens his credibility further in the eyes of some voters. so netanyahu is really in a difficult position and compounding the bad news from the u. s. is
9:21 pm
a response to what netanyahu said in the same speech earlier today that he expected the israel to be added to the u. s. visa wave of program in september. will the state department, as today very quickly shot that down? it said in fact that the u. s still has significant, as israel still has significant work to complete on a short timeline to meet all program requirements. this is essentially that israel does not treat palestinian americans equally as other americans at its ports, at his airports here an access to the west bank. and the us says, if you want our visa, free access to our country than the reciprocal country this case, israel has to treat all you are citizens. equally. the you are still says that israel is not doing that. it's another rebuke to netanyahu on the back of this criticism from joe biden. this attempt to overhaul the dish re, bono for now. thank you very much. as bernard smith talking to us from west to rou,
9:22 pm
slim, we're going to bring in algiers. political honors, my one shot, joining us live from london banner just outlining there that this is almost a succession of rebukes as he put it far against their benjamin netanyahu weakening possibly benjamin netanyahu. we're used to seeing the u. s. standing pretty much foursquare behind israel. it is rare for a u. s. president to be able to make a statement as strong as the one that president biden has done. why do you think he's been motivated to do that? was pushing it the sites and just to put this in historical perspective, it was in fact 3 decades ago when i'm benjamin nathan. yeah. was predecessor, it's hack. shamir was basically basically pressured so much that he was pushed out of the premiership in israel after an election that brought in yet hacker bean, if you remember back in 19911992. it was then that the george bush senior,
9:23 pm
a place so much brasher that his secretary of state baker, thought these rain is here to our for number a call us when you are ready. it's since then 3 decades, when we really heard a bit of a torn, that is a bit, you know, out in the open and quite critical of the performance of our prime minister, who simply is betraying a lot of what israel pretends to be, which is a liberal democracy and clearly there's been a lot of behind the scenes pressured on nathan yo since january, when by dim sent his own national security adviser. and later on his secretary state to put brush nathan he out to get with the program as it were. and net anyhow did not. because as we also know from the neo, he thinks that he knows the united states better than anyone else. he is in fact infamous for saying that, you know,
9:24 pm
america is no problem. i can deal with the america. i can move america as i want to it, he did that actually on the evil, one of his campaigns. so i think his arrogance towards his own public and to worse the united states might finally be backfiring at just briefly. then the next stage that everybody's looking at is what abraham and forgive me for benjamin netanyahu does next. and obviously that is going to be to try to reach some sort of com promises. we've had an indication to some degree of the kind of compromises he's prepared to make his offer. this my big via the security minister and the possibility of creating a national guard which would fall under bank of years and control. but is there a sense that by making this kind of of compromise, we are seeing a power shift in the coalition, and that power is drifting away or be it's slightly, perhaps from benjamin netanyahu. well look,
9:25 pm
it's clear that nathan house partners being veered on small church, the phonetic rogue elements that they sort of have a huge appetite for on more, more compromises on the part of the prime minister. and the more they eat away from his authorities, the better their appetite. so i think there, he's basically now hostage to them. and just to call a spade a spade, it is not a national guard. he himself been veered already stated. what is this for? it is to crack down on the palestinians and is there then it is an unused jerusalem . he is going to be using it as his own private militia, that he's going to basically be staffing it with a lot of his are us, you know, illegal settlers if you will. and cronies. so that's for that. but in as far as nathan jo is concerned, clearly he is trying now to reach some kind of a compromise because he over reached with arrogance to be boxed in as he is. now what that, his detractors, the opposition leaders,
9:26 pm
would actually listen to him this time, whether with accept his maneuver this time, whether there would be deceived by him. this time remains to be seen. apparently this 3 does not convinced they know. and if said that he's a lawyer, i don't think they believe him anymore. i think it's open to all sorts of scenarios on possibilities, moving forward and charges in his political analysts, milan bushera my one. thank you very much. indeed. in the occupied wise bank of palestinian charles been wounded after israeli settlers attacked bedouin families near ramallah that abraham's in tabby and spoke to the palestinian families who survived the attack. members of this palestinian family were asleep when a group of settlers attacked them in their bedrooms. they say they woke up terrified just before midnight, to rocks being hurled at them, and settlers attacking them with pepper spray. judd are you, meridian, jani. the rocks are all over the house. let me show you there. here we started

looking after the settlers left and found one of the rocks under my head. we found it here under the bed. the either through its targeting the windows or my head as i was sleeping thrush delta slyly. when we go to the porch to these really police, they ask us for the miracle, they blame us for not forming the attackers. it's as if they want us to look at the perpetrators and handcuffed them and bring them to police. this is not the for a subtler attack against palestinians of the past week. just a few days ago, a group of settlers put up a house on fire in a village near drama la, but the family, luckily managed to escape. according to the un, there's an average of 3 settler attacks per day against palestinians. and they say that since they've started documenting these violations against palestinians in 15 years, this is the highest number of subtler attacks against palestinians. now there are media reports that benjamin netanyahu is going to be granting the far right.
9:28 pm
national security minister been via a national guard, according to palestinians. they believe that this is a going to bring them a free hand for israeli settlers to attack them. and according to the palestinian 40 minutes, 3, be say that this is going to be a racial militia. 8 that will continue to target and kill palestinians need that, but heem al jazeera, the occupied westbank. the u. s. senate voted to repeal authorizations the give presidents the power to use military force in iraq. the resolution were returned basic war pars, back to congress. the world comes 20 years after the u. s. invaded iraq, and it's not expected to affect come deployments and estimated $2500.00 us troops remain in iraq. more foreign troops that arriving in democratic republic of congo to boost the fight against the armed group and 23 calls from regional leaders for the rebels to hold fighting and withdrawal haven't stopped the violence in his malcolm web reports,

fifty's and sixty's unions, generally, we're working on behalf of people in a company where those people have not been treated fairly where there's been in some cases nefarious acts by the employer taking advantage of the employee. i can only say in my, in my own company, based on the tracker that we've had, we do not believe. and it's our preference that we are, that kind of company. we treat our people fairly, we do nothing that is nefarious. we put our people 1st. we make decisions based on our people, like kind of joining us live now from the capitol hill in washington dc. what else has been had at the see this hearing? howard schultz came under attack in particular from the chair of the committee, bernie sanders, who accused schultz and his company of egregious union bashing for
9:40 pm
a long period of time shorts himself contended that this is not the case. he pointed to what he said was a liberal record within starbucks with regard to labor relations, saying that starbucks was the 1st company in the us to introduce employee share holdings within the company. at the best benefits package, he argued, but other members of the committee to ask questions about the complaints that had been laid with the national labor relations board concerning starbucks, more than any other company. according to the board itself, that starbucks had his dependence in the committee to particularly republicans arguing against what they saw as an unjustified attack on corporate america. and you also had a massive attack from republicans on the national labor relations board itself, arguing that under the bite administration, it has been weaponized in action against her coke,
9:41 pm
co cook companies in order to engender support from the unions, which generally trend democratic. so certainly there was a lot of argument within this committee hearing it was not just about starbucks as it transpires. it was also about in the eyes of many republicans, the actions of the national labor relations board. mike, thank you very much. us my kind of talking to us from washington dc. we're going to take a closer look at the modern union movement in the united states, back in 1983 more than 20 percent of american workers belonged to a union by 2022. it have just 10 percent of americans are unionized, and that's reflected in the starbucks case as well. less than 3 percent of the $9000.00 company operated stores in the u. s. are unionized that have been recent union pushes in other major american companies wealth, including amazon, apple trader joe's chipotle uneven mit well joining us live from buffalo, new york is coffee, creighton, she's director of cornell university school of industrial and labor relations.
9:42 pm
thank you very much indeed. for being with us, do you think that starbucks employees would have been impressed or otherwise with what they heard at the hearing today? i think they would have been demoralized, so we know that starbucks purports to be this progressive employer. and i thought what we might hear today is what howard schultz previously indicated that starbucks was going to change course. but to me, it sounded like he was going to be doubling down and putting aside his reported progressive values to continue to wage a war on his own workforce. if people feel the need to unionize, that is an implication at least that that is something fundamentally wrong in the company. from your experience, what are the most common elements which can come up with common complaints that workers up that would encourage them to unionize? workers generally want to have and this is particularly with the starbucks workers,
9:43 pm
they want to have a say in their workforce. they don't want to be told what to do by a benevolent dictator. as howard schultz apparently thinks that he is. and i think the that what the american public should know is that the a unionized workforce is really a much better workforce, not just for the workers and for the employer also, and particularly beneficial in a civil society. so where there's a unionized workforce, we have a more equitable workforce where people of color do much better up to 20 percent better than their non union peers. where the gender gap is cut in half in a unionized workforce where there's higher productivity, higher retention rate, a safer work place, a happier work place. and then there's all these myriad of things that ripple out from that so that unionized workers generally give more to charity. they have
9:44 pm
increased voter turn out, they volunteer in their communities more often. so there's lots of reasons for america to want to have a unionized workforce where employees simply have a say in their workplace. and that was not acknowledged by starbucks at all. when you, when you say that, they want to have a say in the workforce. there is, of course, an argument that will probably come predominantly from the corporate site to the says, well, this is how companies work. if you have a benevolent dictator, for example, to use your own phrase at the top of the company, running the whole thing and all of that filters done, then that's essentially how capitalism works and how corporations what, why is it necessary for workers to simply have a say in the running or is it more to do with the conditions? i just wanna be clear in my understanding of the point you're trying to make it's well to have a say also means that you have a say and in the conditions, i mean,
9:45 pm
i think you, you can put those 2 things together. so in what we had before, we had the national labor relations act, and it's funny that the republican senators were talking about weaponized because in the private sector in the united states, the workforce is only 6 percent unionize. so if it is a weapon, it's a very ineffective weapon. the national labor relations act that the national labor relations act was created as part of the new deal. where if left unchecked with a capital, having all of the power and labor having none, then that did not work out well for either business or for workers. it was really in humane to workers. conditions were worse for workers. and for employers, they didn't do any better either. so the national labor relations act was created now almost 90 years ago. and it gives employees under federal law the right to join a union and to bargain collectively with their employer over their terms and
9:46 pm
conditions of employment. kathy, kurt, so we have no issue having you forgive me for interrupting you. i am sorry, but i'm afraid. time is against us, but, but thank you very much. indeed. cathy creighton for being with us on al jazeera nail king charles is in germany, and his 1st state visit as burkins monarch. he was welcome to the brandenburg gate with a german president. charles is on a 3 day visit with his wife, queen, consult camilla. we had planned to travel to france, but that trip was postponed because of ongoing protests against pension reforms. don't mccain has more from berlin. one of the things that stands out here is the sense in germany, certainly in berlin amongst the political lead, but also the wider chattering classes as it were suddenly in them. the news media, the press that they feel there's this, the opportunity now for a re sets in relations, not just between the 2 capitals to countries, but also between the u. k and the european union, the president of germany, frank radish fine maya,
9:47 pm
who was receiving the king and queen at the brandenburg gate. well thereafter, they were at his official residence where one of the 1st things he said to his royal guests was that it's in his view to day 6 years of the day since britain began its official journey after the referendum out of the european union. and now is the chance to turn the page and open a new chapter of relations between the u. k, the u, the u. k, and germany on the basis of mutual understanding and friendship. and as i say, that is a theme that has chimes in berlin to day in the newspapers. you hear it on the radio, the tv, the view being put across that way. and then of course, there's the element of the affinity between the german people and the british people. the love that many people here said that they had to fall the king's late mother, queen elizabeth, who visited germany many times. and it is something that can be seen in the crowds who were at the brandenburg gate waving those flags and saying they'd been chewing
9:48 pm

donna. now to talk about ferguson and fingers induction as football broadcast on my i say arsenal. supposed to gary al smith, gary, you follow their riley very closely. what was so special about him? well, it's quite significant because it was a time i was coming to my football support. and so probably, and it's the reason she fee that i became a national supporter, but close closely aligned to that it was the fact that ferguson was the actual nemesis. and he would now, i think it's that reasonable mind that primarily became what it was, because the 2 managers ensure that a whole generation of africans and a whole generation of france would become loving off the english premier league. and i think that's together. the other reason why that each became what it was and what it is today. kerry, we talk about how many trophies that they want,
