3 countries together make up a 3rd of the global economy. closing statements at the summit, focused on what all 3 leaders said with a spirit of cooperation figures they can no longer be any question. none in today's interconnected world, we cannot wall ourselves off from shared problems. we are stronger and better when we work together. the 3 of us, d. w. washington bureau chief in his pole was at the summit of mexico city. she says, well, joe biden, and his fellow leaders presented a united front deep divisions remain. so you know, he and also the 2 other leaders really want to demonstrate unity saying that we can only be powerful if he stick together. obviously, they don't want to talk about all the things which kind of, you know, of cause some problems, for example, that each country for itself kind of a, you know, it focuses on its own a opportunity, for example, a bite and definitely does some america, 1st politics when it comes to his or her a subsidiary, a plan and also the same is true for lubbers abra door, the mexican and the president who kind of puts his own energy sector 1st. so this is something which they kind of want to mental over this like. huge statement, we are all sticking together and this is when we can be strongest. now migration of course, is one of the top agenda items and the thousands of people are stuck in limbo. the u. s. a southern border, we've seen a lot of pictures in recent days of that. is there any movement on that issue there, right, i mean, this is of the most crucial a topic for all 3 leaders back home. and they're facing a lot of criticism. more than 1000000 people tried to cross the poor border without papers last year from mexico into the united states. so what joe biden, the president of the united states offered was a new will deal that who would be willing to take in $30000.00 migrants if they apply before they enter the country on an app. and if they fly into the country, and if they have sponsors within the united states, this is 30000 people. and then then think about that it was a more than a 1000000 people trying to cross over. so these figures are much more symbolic than really would change anything in the real world out there. i was did other use in his coal in mexico city, thanks for joining us. these of heavy rain have caused rock slides and flooding across california. at least 14 people have been killed and more than 200000 homes and businesses are left without power. residence in the town of monta seato, which is home to british prince harry and megan markelle, have been ordered to evacuate. devastations caused by fighting. as far as the i can see streets adding and dated hans and cars damaged at the flat water. california is fighting a series of relentless and powerful storms. to say to wrench rains and high winds have forced authorities to issue warnings for large parts of the state. in santa barbara county, alt and cousin residence of the star studded town of monte c. to my asked to leave that because the price of living is interviewed with one of the trucking they did buy very good. not a lot of people invented truth. this rock flight and flat water force, the closure of a highway 93. these powerful storms and climate change induced disasters dealing with this new reality. likewise, climate adaptation and climate resilient infrastructure are getting a lot hotter. dry is getting a lot dryer, but the wet skinny la, la, wetter as well. and as a consequence of this, not in terms of our deeper understanding or consciousness as it relates to our live realities. but also in terms of policy making, we are moving dramatically in different directions. tens of thousands of people remain without power and forecast have expect more rain. on top of the heavy down bows. meteorologist matthew caputo joins us now from watsonville and california. good to see you again. so this is taking place 5 years to the day after mudslides killed 23 people in monta c though, is this becoming typical for this part of california? that's a really good question. so we tend to see these kind of set ups, these atmospheric river. so to speak, every winter time. now what that means is basically low pressure systems. these big swirling storm systems in train filaments or strips of really robust moisture from the central shop pacific and rang out to the co sign like a fire hose that it is very heavy rainfalls the lowlands and prolific snows in the order of several meters to the higher elevations in the mountains. now what we've seen lately though has just been back to back to back atmospheric rivers like 8 of them since christmas time. and so, well we do see these every winter to see this many so closely packed together is a little bit unusual. and nowadays, even though atmospheric mirrors would happen anyway, they're a little bit wetter thanks to a warming world. california seems to be quite susceptible to extreme weather events i node couple of years ago. i was there reporting on wildfires which always make headlines. is there a connection here to climate change? yeah, that's really good when you bring the wild buyers because believe it or not, fire and drought and also flooding in california are built to size the same coin. i'll be unseemly. antithetical being a war atmosphere holds more water. so for every degrees celsius, the air temperature warms the air can hold about 7 percent more moisture. that means in the winter time where the pattern fevers rainfall, you hold that much more rain in the air, and of course it comes down the form of heavy rainfall in the summer time when the air tends to be dryer anyway, you're basically warmer and so you suck all that moisture out of the ground because there's no moisture in the air anyway. and so you can reinforce trout and get those fire conditions. so believe it or not, both are very closely tied to climate change. and both, even though they're opposites are being made worse by unit wounds and with the outlook there are people going to expect the bad weather to let up soon? so unfortunately, changing things that we still have 3 more of these to deal with. but i think after about 8 or 9 more days, things will finally come to an end. and our forecast me another $3.00 to $5.00 centimeters worth of rainfall over the next 18 hours north of san francisco. or i am in watsonville. things are winding down, but the rivers are still cresting because oftentimes across comes after the rainfall maximum. matthew kofuji meteorologist and california after weeks of hype and leagues, the british prince harry's min more spare has finally hit the bookstores. the book is already a controversial sensation with one reviewer, calling it the weirdest book ever written by a royal, for there certainly a thirst out there for gossip about the british royal family. this shop in london's victoria station opened at midnight to be the 1st to start selling, one of the most hotly anticipated books of the year. no, ma'am, after weeks of media hype, people here with keen to finally get their hands on a copy of prince harry's memoir, and make up their own minds about his story. i expect to be able to read about it more about the truth of what goes on behind the palace walls. i feel like counting, they are either tory secret family. i want to be able to paint the picture myself see for myself when i hear his story in his words. because at this point, a few like the british media all radicalize in the british public against prince harry. according to the prince, the ghost written memoir is an attempt to tell his own story. after years of spin and distortion by others, the book made headlines long before its publication. it contained some explosive revelations about the royal family and the treatment of the prince and his wife megan passages from the book leaked before its release. in one of them, harry describes having a physical altercation with his brother, prince william, their sibling rivalry, something he also brought up in a string of interviews with british and u. s. broadcast as to promote the book is out. there is always been this competition between us readily, they pitch the whales is right. which came when i went on on our, against the sa success, me and my wife. they always pitched us against each other, a pitch case made against each other in any way that i can protect us in a way that i can correct those mistress is by writing something the truth in one place. how much harry's truthful hurt the royal family and its image isn't clear yet. they have so far declined to comment on any claims made in the book. for now, read us, we'll have to decide whether the book that's been causing a huge stir worldwide before it was even published lives up to the hype. you're up to date, don't forget, you can always get d w news on the go. just download our app from the google play or play store or from the apple app store that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news. that's it for now, coming up after the break, a dw documentary on escaping violence and poverty in honduras. i'm on municipal, thanks for joining us. imagine so many portions of love, us heard out live world climate change, very hard to story. this is my plan, the way from just one week how my wife can really get.
