values, but deliver results. anchor: kristen saloomey is following this. what a different tone from the new american president from his predecessor. correspondent: absolutely. it really felt like an attempt to turn the page on the previous administration from donald trump's america first to joe biden's america's back, re-engaging with its traditional allies and multilateral institutions, and showing that democracy can deliver, in his words. to make that point or underscore that point, he mentioned fighting the coronavirus worldwide, saying the united states would commit $4 billion to international efforts to bring the vaccine to poor countries. he talked about rejoining the climate agreement, the paris climate accord,li which took effect officially on friday here in the united states. talking about his commitment to

5:09 pm
will be allowed to enter the u.s. while immigration courts consider their future. our reporter is live in mexico city with the reaction to this. one wonders what the reaction is from the mexican government about this u.s. announcement because it takes the pressure off of them for a little while, at least. correspondent: that's right. the reversal of the so-called migrant protection protocols has been most welcome by mexican immigration authorities. after all, mexico has carried the brunt of the burden of these policies, the so-called remain in mexico program which at its height had more than 65,000 migrants, mostly from central america, waiting in mexico while their asylum cases were being processed in the united states. this is also welcome news for human rights organizations, who have been repeating for months for the last two years since the protocols were announced in
5:10 pm
january 2019 that not permitting asylum applicants to have their cases be heard in the united states and wait for their cases to be processed in the united states betrays the obligations and commitments the united states has made to international law. right now, we are talking about around 25,000 people who will once again through this reversal of the policies put in place by the trump administration have an opportunity to have those asylum cases be heard. they will be leading in 25 people every day, so this is not a process that will be very quick, but it will reverse something human rights organizations have said stretches the limits of international law. many of these immigrants who have been forced to wait in mexico are waiting in questionable conditions, sometimes unsanitary conditions, and often times dangerous conditions. remember, these are people who have fled their home countries, fleeing extreme violence only to then find themselves in similar, precarious situation's here in
5:11 pm
mexico. anchor: depending on which side of the border you are on, this is potentially a social and political hot potato because it could mean another exodus of people moving from central america toward the u.s., and there lies another can of worms that will be opened. correspondent: quite possibly, and this is very much on the radar of immigration officials both in the united dates as well as here -- united states as well as here in mexico. the lockdown from the pandemic saw an overall decline in migration from central america specifically. but then something interesting happens in december. we see a spike in the number of migrants coming up to the united states. we are seeing numbers that were higher than even before the pandemic began. we have heard those speculations that these could be in part due to the more relaxed policies by the biden administration, and that very well could be the
5:12 pm
case. but we have to remember a lot of the conditions that were leading people or driving people out of their countries in central america, extreme poverty, lyrical instability, these are things that have not improved. you could argue they have been exacerbated by the pandemic. you couple that with two back-to-back hurricanes that slammed into the region last year. in honduras, this resulted in more than one million people being displaced. you put these factors together and you get a better picture of what is increasing these migrant numbers. anchor: thanks very much, our correspondent in mexico city. still ahead here on al jazeera, first covid-19, now ebola. the rush to stop a new outbreak from crossing african borders. and myanmar anti-coup movement mourns the loss of a young protester who died after being shot. those stories after the break.

5:20 pm
that every day the u.s. delays, the closer the earth is to catastrophe. yes, using presidential and not congressional power means a future president not concerned with climate change could reverse biden's policies. but proponents of declaring a climate emergency argued that if the focus of the executive actions is to fundamentally change the u.s.'s economy and infrastructure, the impact of those policies may not be reversed. anchor: the democratic republic of congo has confirmed another two cases of ebola, one of which is far from the center of the outbreak. six infections have been confirmed overall and two deaths. the world health organization says the drc has 8000 vaccinations available, and the who and the u.s. are spending almost 20,000 doses to guinea.

5:28 pm
hours. that court focused on several different aspects of the nature of the relationship between drivers and the company, but one of them that is crucial is that the company sets the fare so the drivers do not have control over how much they can earn per job. in fact, the company had argued that the drivers should only really be classed as working when they are driving for a fare. but many drivers wait around for hours on the app. the court also ruled that the company restricts their right to decline work. this is very important. it is a big blow for uber. they have said they respect the decision, but they are saying it only focused on a small group of drivers using the app back in 2016. anchor: nasa's rover on mars has sent back its first color photos of the red planet just a day
