>> this is al jazeera. >> hello. welcome to the newshour live from london. coming up, u.s. border agents clear the makeshift camp that was housing thousands of haitian migrant -- migrants in texas. >> it is beyond an embarrassment. it's dangerous, it's wrong, it sends the wrong message around the world. >> president biden says he takes responsibility for the harsh treatment of the migrants at the border with mexico. huawei executive is set to be

released. firefighters will back as volcanic eruptions intensify on the island of la palma >> a russian will stop -- start the russian grantee -- ran pre-from the back. >> hello and welcome. the u.s. says it is cleared all migrants from a makeshift camp under a bridge in west texas. this as president biden says he takes responsibility for the harsh treatment of the mostly haitian migrants on the border with mexico. he promised the border patrol agents will pay after they were

filmed using horse rains against people who were trying to cross the river from mexico. the footage including materia shot by al jazeera sparked outrage earlier this week. our correspondent now reports. >> are pictures of haitian refugees being rounded up by border patrol agents have made headlines for days. they confronted several suspensions and at least one resignation. after days of silence, the u.s. president finally addressed the refugees mistreatment. >> of course i take sponsor ability, on president that it was horrible to see what you saw. to see people treated like they were, it's outrageous. >> joe biden has faced heavy criticism for his

administrations border response even from within his own party. the images of white men on horses chasing down black people has been compared to images from the slave era. >> i am pissed, unhappy, not just with the cowboys who were running down haitians and using their brains to whip them. i am unhappy with the administration. >> joe biden's promised investigations into the incident but it will not stop the flow of migrants. not just from haiti, but from all over central america and increasingly the world. now amassing in huge numbers. a problem that has confounded u.s. officials for years. >> this is a situation that has occurred from time to time ever since i can remember. first and foremost, we are

dealing with a broken immigration system and we need which later perform. >> joe biden's problems don't end at the border. this week, has promised to reform policing failed on capitol hill. he also had to repair a diplomatic spat with emmanuel macron after leaving france out of an arrangement with the u.k. and australia. >> look at what i inherited when i came into office did part of it is dealing with the things that landed on my plate. >>'s are about to get more difficult. if a deal can't be reached with congressional republicans to keep the government open, also looming over the white house is the threat of a government shutdown. >> john was just at the border recently and he joins us from mexico city. the president says he takes responsibility, but no change to

the expulsion of migrants which essentially prevents the right to seek asylum. tell us about the clearing of the camps. >> as you were saying near the start of the program, that camp in texas is under the border bridge. it's reportedly almost cleared out. that's what incredible, because there were over 14,000 people there. just a few days ago. they have clear that camp incredibly quickly. the optics of that were not great for president biden's administration. thousands of people there with shelters that were staked with bits of plastic and blankets being held up. crossing through the river to bring food and water because there was not enough on the u.s. side. you mentioned where they are going to. not all of them, but a lot of them are being moved to other

areas in the united states and being deported, being flown back to haiti. that is the other question. where are they being sent back to? this is a country that we were in a little more than a month ago when it suffered a major earthquake in the southwest of the country. it knocked out entire communities. it is a country with no president because the president was assassinated back in july. the prime minister was recently implicated by the public prosecutor in the dispute -- conspiracy to assassinate the president of the country. there are gangs in the capital that are controlling whole areas. this is where the people are being sent back to, those who are being flown to haiti. there are questions about don't those people deserve the protection of the united states right now? this might have finished in terms of the camp, but in terms of the political situation, it's not going anywhere.

>> as we heard, people are not going to stop making the journey. they will not stop coming. there are inhumane conditions at makeshift camps being set up on u.s. soil. could that be a comprehensive immigration plan coming? >> i think that is the big question from the u.s. side. so far, the by the administration on the campaign trail they said they were going to repeal a lot of what president trump had done which struck people as inhumane in terms of the treatment of migrants. what has happened since then is that they have seen a surge of people trying to get into the country illegally. we have been talking to people and a lot of them have said to us, yes we thought that president biden was going to be a lot more open to us. that would be easier for us to get into the united states. that surge has created a problem for president biden.

he has to say as he has said that the borders of the country are not open and try to hammer home that message. what he is using at the moment to get a lot of people out of the united states that have crossed illegally and asked for asylum is title 42. a decades-old public health measure that says that if there is a health emergency, no questions asked most people can be removed from the country. migrant rights authorities activists are saying we can't keep using this. we have to give people the right to asylum. u.s. officials are saying the pandemic is still going on so we have a right to use this. judges have ruled that has to be repealed. the by the administration is appealing that. there is a huge fight going on over title 42 and whether it's legitimate or not. we can also tell you, my

colleague was with our team a couple of weeks ago. on a city -- in a city on the southern border of mexico with -- he saw thousands of people trying to come into the u.s. border. what you saw, it was visually impressive but it's to move the iceberg in terms of people traveling through latin america through mexico and trying to get to the united states. many of them in a desperate position after the pandemic. >> thank you. to our other top story, a top chinese executive held in canada is set to be released after a deal with the u.s. government to resolve fraud charges. the huawei officer attended a court hearing online. the court was told she has

reached a deferred prosecution agreement and the charges she denies could be dropped. the incident has strained china's relations with the u.s. and canada. we are joined from vancouver. what does the prosecution agreement mean for canada? >> it puts canada and an awkward position having been the middle country between the standoff between the u.s. government and her and huawei. it is caused great friction between canada and china certainly. it is a monumental day for her having left her mentioned in vancouver. her ankle bracelet in place headed to the courthouse to have the virtual hearing the u.s. courts in brooklyn. now, the federal court has endorsed this deal.

the prosecution agreement that is in place. she has a hearing. this puts canada in a position of having to clean up what has been going on for the past three years. the extradition hearings that have been happening here going slowly through the legal process. now it's a matter of lifting the veil and she will be likely free to go as early as today. >> we are getting some developments here on the newswires. the canadian government lawyers representing the government, giving authority to proceed and discharge her. that process is well underway.

one important aspect of the story, two canadians that were arrested in china shortly after her detention in 2018. what might a lifer -- what might be ahead for them? >> that is tough for canadians. a former diplomat and businessman known here in canada as the two michael's have been held separately. not able to often communicate with legal help or their families. they have been under very stressful conditions in china. the chinese government has maintained that the rest of these two canadians in the days following the arrest at the airport on december 1. china saying these are not connected.

however, today's developments put a new opportunity on the table for a strained relationship over the arrest of these two canadian citizens. and the newly reelected prime minister justin trudeau, an opportunity to pivot from the headlines of just a couple of days ago where he was reelected and getting a lot of blowback over calling the snap election in canada and perhaps being able to turn the page to bringing these canadians home. that will be the headline moving forward. box thank you. >> thank you. meanwhile, the leaders of the united states, india, austria, and japan have hailed their democratic solidarity in a new alliance. joe biden has been hosting the quad leaders summit.

the meeting is covering vaccine production, climate change, and cybersecurity. the meeting is the second recent move seen as a challenge to china's rising power. the announcement of a defense pact between the u.s., u.k., and australia has caused fears of an arms race with china. we are following this in washington. tell us about the expectations from this meeting. what are they like to achieve? >> it's interesting you asked that, because we have been promised all sorts of policy announcements on a range of issues from infrastructure, the semi conductor supply chain, illegal fishing, all of these maritime waterways and so on. so far, we haven't had anything it.

the point of this has been another shot across the bow for china. it is getting laughable now in all the bilateral meetings. nobody has used the word china. instead, we get defensive statements like this one from australia. we stand together and wish to be always free from coercion. we get no mention of context for .

they are constantly saying this is not another security or military alliance. no worries about a cold war. yet each of these nations has done military exercises together. you mentioned the partnership, there was report in the union press that india was worried that it was being presented as another security block to be policing the indo pacific oceans and the indians were not happy about that. they bought that this took pressure off of that. india does have its concerns about china, but not necessarily in the pacific ocean, now in the indian ocean. they were necessarily keen about being part of this maritime security thing in general. yet they are constantly talking

about maritime security. is this another click that biden is forming? is it going to engage or just more order opportunities? it's not entirely clear. nor is it to people in the asian-pacific region. >> thank you. you're watching the news hour live from london. still ahead, people displaced by violence in northern mozambique start returning home after other nations pushback writers. the taliban's defense minister orders crackdown on abuses and reprisals by some commanders and fighters. how about this for a doubles pairing? the future queen and the current queen of british tennis. we will have more on that.

the united nations says more than 350 thousand people have been killed in the war in syria but many deaths will never be accounted for. it's the first approximate total from the u.n. since 2014 when intense fighting made difficult to document deaths. the conflict began in syria in march 2011 after security forces opened fire on demonstrators. the human rights chief says the death toll is in undercount. >> the records we have received with only partial information and were therefore excluded from our analysis indicate the existence of a wider number of killings that still have not been fully documented. tragically, but also many other victims who left behind no witnesses or documentation as to their deaths and whose stories

we have not yet been able to uncover. >> libyans in the capital have been protesting against tuesday's vote of no-confidence in the transitional government. a poll was scheduled for later this year and the prime minister says he will continue to lead a caretaker administration. this is another blow to the u.n. backed peace efforts. some people who were forced to flee their homes in northern mozambique have started returning home. they have been encouraged to do this by the rwandan military who says it safer them to go back. the u.n. maintains that fighting is still going on and civilian authorities have not been reestablished. armed groups have been targeting towns and villages for years. in july, rwanda and other nations sent soldiers to help

forces regain the region. more than 3000 people have been killed and almost a hundred thousand displaced since the fighting began. >> i remember well that these terrorist attack us four times. the first on march 24. they came back april 25 then in may on the 26th. the last time on june 12. in all this time, they have caused this terrible damage. >> we left and fled our homes. we stayed away for a long time. then, we were encouraged to go back to the villages because the security came back. so we went back. >> unarmed uprising that began in 2017 has torn apart northern mozambique. the government says fighters are still operating in the province destroying villages and kidnapping residents. a local armed group is behind

much of the conflict. there fighters have been intensifying rates in villages over the past four years. government security forces have also been accused of great human rights violations. amnesty says there is evidence of them torturing prisoners and his membrane fighters. violence has killed more than 3000 people. nearly 800,000 have also been displaced. >> rwandan and mozambique soldiers are in this town on a key road junction. this a few weeks ago, it was occupied by fighters. you can see with a left behind. a lot of the buildings have been torched. shop looted cars set on fire. people in this area feared the fighters. they are notorious for

beheadings, of ducting people, and a lot of these buildings are completely deserted. >> around 800,000 people have been displaced by the conflict. it began four years ago. as the insurgents took more towns and ledges, more people fled. mozambique's armed forces -- failed to stop their advance. soldiers arrived here about two months ago under an agreement between the two governments. in recent weeks, they fought the group from one town to the next and the fighters have fled into the bush. this small town is the last town that the armed groups fighters occupied and their leaders were headquartered here as well. a couple of weeks ago, the rwandan forgers -- horses push them out. you can see the remains. explosives have blown the roots off of the buildings. on the floor, you can see the

remains of the shopkeepers property. it was once based here before fleeing when the insurgents attacked. all of the people who used to live here are now wondering if or when it will be safe for them to come home. >> hundreds of people have rallied in kabul to demand the release of central bank assets held in the u.s.. reserves were held following the taliban takeover. the imf and eu suspended financing for projects in afghanistan. foreign aid previously accounted for nearly half of the country's economic output at $8.5 billion per year. millions of afghans are struggling to afford food and basic necessities. many standing in line for hours to access banks. the taliban's new defense minister has order to crackdown on abuses ordered by the groups forces. the government says misconduct will not be tolerated alleging some criminals and former

soldiers have been allowed to join taliban units. some afghans have complained of abusive treatment in recent weeks as taliban soldiers explore the streets. there have also been reports of reprisals against members of the former government despite promises of amnesty by the taliban. we now speak to a human rights activist, a former mp and ambassador. she joins us live from toronto by skype. there have been reports for a while now including an investigation into i suppose human rights abuses and war crimes. how is this mistreatment going to be dealt with by the taliban? >> of course, so many crimes happen especially in kabul and outside kabul.

they are searching for different -- with the politician or x government employees and also taking cars and mistreating on the street. when people complain, they say you are not a part of us they are criminals. if they are criminals, where you not controlling them? they're doing something else but it's because they need a foreign aid. there criminals and it's not acceptable for them and you will take care of that. but since -- people are suffering from this kind of torture and crimes on the streets. >> we were mentioning afghans complaining about to -- abusive treatment in kabul and other cities. do you see the diversions

between the cities and provinces? is the situation worse elsewhere? is it being documented? >> it was documented the mistreatment of taliban because they use the taliban, they use the government recalls. they are searching the house. the deputy minister of education, his father was badly beaten. it's kind of thing is happening. there is a state of denial. i think they should listen and make improvements that people should not suffer further. >> does this suggest that the taliban is struggling to govern

and they are unable to deal with internal disobedience within the ranks? >> there is to function. one is mostly powerful and there is a suicide attack, car bomb explosion. the other group is mostly like a compatriot, more flexible and moderate. there also thinking how to bring more reform and how to go toward inclusivity. they are more powerful and not doing what the taliban spokesperson are telling the people. there's a big difference between what they are promising and delivering or doing on the

ground. >> how are they good to change that? can that dispute be resolved without causing even more instability and permanent rupture? >> i think even if the pakistan head of intelligence were in their, mostly one group is insisting on the hardline and they are more extreme and not willing for any change in flexibility. it will increased the stability in afghanistan and people of afghanistan will suffer the most. i think this is the time for both factions think how can it be resolved. the internal issue and provide better governance for the people which they promise and they think it's best for the people of afghanistan and this is what the people deserve.

afghanistan's are facing hunger crisis and was to the people start selling their house stuff and also we have many cases that the head of the family commit suicide because they cannot feed the family. this is the reality of the ground and hopefully they can resolve the internal issue and provide better governance and economic support to the people of afghanistan. >> thank you very much for joining us. still ahead, catalonia's former president is released from jail in italy. he could still be extradited to spain. final rallies ahead of the german elections with a prediction that it could lurch to the left.

a makeshift camp with thousands of haitian migrants in texas has been cleared. the president says he takes responsibility for the harsh treatment some of them received at the hands of border agents. the leaders of the u.s., india, australia, and japan have hailed their democratic solidarity in the first face-to-face meeting of a new alliance scene as a meeting to counter china. a canadian judge has signed an order freeing a top chinese tech executive. cfo of huawei had been under house arrest in vancouver for nearly three years. the canadian arm of the catholic church has apologized for the first time for the horrors that took place at the residential schools it ran for the government for more than a century. in a statement, the canadian

conference of catholic ships said that grave abuses were committed by some members of the catholic community and that there was suppression of indigenous language is, culture, and spirituality. it concludes that we express our profound remorse and apologize unequivocally. earlier this year, canadians were shocked at the discovery of the bodies of more than 200 children at the former grounds of residential school in prison -- british columbia. some as young as three years old. it was aimed at eradicating their culture and language. so far, more than 1300 suspected grades have been found. the influential sister of north korea's leader says the country is ready to consider ending the war with the south but only if it scraps hostile policies. she said the idea was admirable.

the conflict ended with an armistice not a peace treaty. at the u.n. earlier this week, the president called for a formal and to the conflict. the white house says president biden will not invoke executive privilege. the announcement comes one day after a house committee issued subpoenas to four former aides of president trump. five people were killed in that attack on the capital. >> we take this matter seriously. the president has complete -- concluded that it would not be appropriate to assert executive privilege. we will respond promptly to those questions as they arise. certainly as they come up from congress. we have been working closely with congressional committees and others as they were to get

to the bottom of what happened on january 6. a dark day in our democracy. >> now, the house of representatives -- the women's health protection act passed with only one deck -- mccright voting against the bill. it's the first to bring a law opposing with other states expected to follow. the law is not expected to pass the senate where it would need 10 republicans to pass -- to cross party lines. >> this is about women's right to choose. freedom from the vigilantes, the bounty hunters that the texas government legislature has set in motion. this has so many things going against it. you have to wonder what the supreme court justices were thinking or were they thinking.

they certainly were not respecting women. >> and other developments, the u.s. president has urged americans to get a third vaccine booster dose. an average of more than 2000 deaths per day has been recorded this week after several weeks of the numbers steadily growing. more than 684,000 americans have died after contracting the coronavirus. president biden says the country is facing a critical moment in the rollout of vaccines with boosters made available to more than 60 million eligible americans. russia has recorded its highest number of daily covid deaths since the pandemic began. 828 deaths were reported on friday. that is more than the previous record set a day earlier. more than 21,000 new infections were also detected. rising cases has been blamed on the delta variant. 28% of russians are fully

vaccinated despite the country developing its own vaccine. brazil's agriculture minister and president bolsonaro son have announced they have tested positive for covid-19. it comes a few days after the health minister also tested positive. he accompanied the president son to new york. catalonia's former leader has been released from italian detention. he had been taken into custody as he arrived in sardinia on thursday. spain accuses him of sedition. an italian court has to container -- consider the extradition report -- request.

we received this update earlier. >> it has been a busy day here. we are outside of one of italy's highest security prisons. a little while ago, he came out the gate. he was put in a car and taken away. he is free and he is free to leave sardinia if he wants to. the current president of catalonia's parliament spoke to reporters outside the prison after he was released and says his plan at least now for a little while is to attend the cultural events which has a very strong culture here in sardinia. for the next several days, he is

planning to attend cultural events. implicit was that he is not running away. she also didn't make clear if you would leave at some point. >> in barcelona, the news of his release was greeted by a rally. hundreds of people chanted and waved posters reading no surrender. three more towns have been evacuated and firefighters have been forced to retreat after explosions from erecting volcano in la palma intensified. it began erupting for the first time in 50 years and now rich has cracked open and it is spewing out more molten rock.

hundreds of buildings have been destroyed. airlines of canceled flights for a second day due to a giant cloud of ash. locals say the levels of toxic gases are not dangerous for humans. >> just below us in a soccer field, there are thousand people asked to leave their homes and moments -- at a moments notice. we just heard from the crisis center that is managing the crisis that they will not be able to return home because the detonations are so strong that it is shaking homes. given that situation, they will not be able to return home and instead, they will be taken to a military base where they will spend the night adding to the 6000 people that have been displaced because of this eruption. you see behind me what looks like a giant smoldering cauldron shooting up magma into the air

and creating this cloud that is four kilometers high. this cloud that started here but it has extended to neighboring islands bringing the grounding of the flights, bringing this island to a standstill. >> in germany, political parties have been campaigning to win over undecided voters. the vote will determine who replaces chancellor angela merkel who is stepping down after four terms. her center-right union block is pulling second with 22%. nearly behind the other group predicted to win a 25%. the greens have fielded their first candidate for the chancellorship. they are trailing in third place. they have governed in the past and they could play a partial

role. political parties have been holding their final rallies. one promised a new future to germany. the greens candidate returned to the topic of climate change in her parties closing rally. angela merkel finished the campaign in munich supporting her preferred successor. tens of thousands of protesters have rallied in berlin ahead of the parliamentary elections. they're calling on politicians to phase out coal sooner than the goal and speed up the transition to green energy. we report from berlin. >> a last attempt before sunday's election to convince nearly 60 million voters to make

the climate crisis a priority when they go to the polling station. greta thunberg was among the protesters. >> if there is one thing the pandemic has shown us, it is that the climate crisis has never once been treated like an emergency. it is clearer than ever that no political party is doing close to enough. it is even worse than that. not even the proposed commitments are close to being in line with what will be needed. >> the climate issue has been dominating the election campaign after nearly 200 germans were killed in july during the worst rains and flooding in decades. the disaster has raised concerns about the expanding coal mines. the late-night mine has swallowed tens of villages over the years is allowed to expand until 2038 and six more villages

are planned to be demolished before then. >> i can't understand why germany continues this policy. they say they will stop in 2038, but that's too late. it is unthinkable villages will have to disappear to mine coal the damages the climate. >> and her family has been living here for generations, a nearly abandoned village. while germany can realign more on renewable energy than other countries, fossil fuels have recently made a comeback due to a shortage of wind and solar energy. a nostalgic sound for former coal miners like this one who spent 33 years working underground until the last deep coal mine in 2018. it was the end of an industry that helped to rebuild germany after world war ii.

he will now guide tourists. >> we don't want coal, we don't want -- we can't generate enough power for our economy. we are importing coal. >> many agree the train moving away from the traditional coal industry has become unstoppable. climate chancellor or not, she leaves a mixed legacy. the next chancellor has no choice but to speed up the energy transition and to try to fill her large shoes internationally. instead most in the background of the campaign of her preferred successor.

these birds seem to take a liking to her with one sitting on her head and others gathering on her arms. that must be a sign of good luck. a court in the u.k. has approved an injunction that could see more climate change demonstrators jailed. it comes after a group blocked the entrance to a ferry port. some of the protesters glued themselves to trucks. 39 were arrested. the group once the government to insulate millions of homes and has staged several protests on a busy road. that comes as britain's retail industry once the government -- warns the government it has 10 days to end a driver shortage or face disruption to christmas deliveries. some gas stations have seen long lines as panic buying has

started. some stations have been forced to close after running out. brexit changes to immigration and the pandemic are being blamed for the lack of truck drivers. we have more now from dover. >> carry-on as normal is the message. that message doesn't seem to be getting through to the motorists particularly here in the southeast of england where as you can see, there is a large queue of traffic trying to get into this where some stations have run out of petrol. you can hear the impatience of some motorists. there have been tempers flowing as some motorists try to take a shortcut and jump ahead. the issue at the core of all of this seems to be a shortage not a fuel, that is secure according to the government and the organizations. but a shortage of drivers needed

to transport the fuel to the stations. some 100,000 drivers we are short of here in the u.k. according to figures from the association. the government minister has said he will move heaven and earth to ensure that supplies are replenished. that is not being helped by some tabloid media. one newspaper saying they are running on empty. >> you are with the newshour live from london. still ahead, a rivalry before they try to knock each other out. more on this heavyweight bout later.
