But around 400. 00 iraqi migrants have abandoned their attempt to enter the e heading instead for the bell russian, capital minsk.

I will not try to travel again. I will not go with. A lot of these. People have sold everything they own to get to europe. They are likely to come back to less than they had before. The future for them is blink. 341. People disembarked on this flight here in our bill. Another 90 will disembark in baghdad. Now there are more flights in the coming days. How many more is a negotiation between minsk and baghdad, but perhaps the real negotiation is exactly how many iraqis will want to get on those flights around con our desert, or will i said bay has been monitoring the situation on the poland, bella ruth border stranded cold and living in miserable conditions.

Her and the camp were taken obligation upon ourselves to assist the other 5000 as much as possible and in case they are willing to return home something the e u has rejected out of hand. But tensions are belly roost, his borders remain high. Ukraine has deployed the National Guards to its border with belarus and lithuania, as also reinforced its border with the country. By the ru, says it wont force any migrant refugees to go back home, but with no solution in sight, those who are trapped are likely to continue to be used as pawns in a much larger game. As i beg, ill jazeera poland, or staying with the story. Annette lena church is the e use Emergency Response coordinator. He says, politics and blame to one side. There are people suffering on the border who need help. The European Union has been calling for the full access on both sides of the border between bellows and the p and union. For a while now, there has been no excess since last week. On the russian side, we are working with our humanitarian partner. In particular, the i f r, c, u, and high commissioner for refugees, the International Organization for immigration in order to provide assistance to the people in need. However, this can only be an immediate relief. The solution should be found in billows, carries the responsibility for this solution. Preferably the solution should be put creation of these people who have, who have been manipulated and looked into bellows with the fall force corners, dont bella ru, send it out. Russia insist the crisis was manufactured by the e u. N. U g 37. Is that on the . Was it one kind of help but see that western countries are using the migration crisis on the better origin . Polish border as a new reason for tension in the region that is close to us and to pressure mens class. And at the same time, they forget their own obligations in the humanitarian sphere. The spanish coast guard has rescued a group of migrants stranded in a boat close to the canary islands.

North american leaders have held the summit for the 1st time in 5 years. The u. S. President joe biden hosted mexicos Andrew Manuel lopez open at all. And the canadian Prime Minister justin crudo, the white house, top of their agenda. The cupboard 19 pandemic, and the climate crisis. My can are reports now from washington d. C. It was in 2016 when the leaders of us, mexico and canada last met in person the previous trumpet, ministration, apparently disinterested in holding face to face talks with its neighbors. The lead is now able to lay out their priorities. We have to end the pandemic and to take decisive actions to curb the climate crisis. Our highest priority is, of course, end in coven, 19, and being focused on economic recovery, strengthen supply chain support. As he owns. Its important to define things together to set aside myths and prejudices, for example, to stop excluding migrants when their manpower is in high demand in canada and in the United States. Mister president is the delight to have you here. View as president also held one on one meetings. Central to discussions with his mexican counterpart was migration control and reform. An issue that a sharply impacted on the relationship between the 2 countries. 4th grade to welcome back to the premise through earlier biden and canadian Prime Minister justin crudo talked about forging a Climate Change policy, particularly topical, given the flooding occurring in canada. Ah, but one of the biggest developments had nothing to do with north american relations. Answering a question, the u. S. President confirmed, hes thinking about a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in china. Something were consider still discussions focused heavily on trade between the 3 countries. And you agreement took effect last year, replacing the longstanding north American Free trade pack nafta. Canada is the largest trading partner of the United States. Each day, some 2000000000. 00 worth of goods crosses the world long. This National Border and canada has been brought into the us mexico discussion concerning supply chain issues which has undermined the economies of all 3 countries. The many issues of contention were not given any public airing. The lead is preferring to project to show of unity and common purpose. Reviving the 3 amigos label that was applied when the summits were far more frequent. My kind of just era washington tony pan is the director of the center for the United States and mexico at rice university. He says, precedent bite and still putting america 1st. I think one of the things that we have to understand about the bike administration is that it is somewhat protectionist, surprisingly because many thought that that on president former President Trump was quite protectionist about at the end of the day mr. Buy has not really retrenched on many of the terrorists imposed on canada, for example on steel. And of course, canada has other worries. So for example, that it may be excluded from all the contracts in the infrastructure bills. Theyre going to be deployed in the coming years in the United States, in canadian firms want the ability to bid for those contracts. And then you also have some, some worrying canada down to the subsidies for electrical vehicles in the United States are going to exclude canada. So some of these, some of these things are bilateral, important issues that well have to be discuss later. And i think mr. Buy will have to give some ground on that. There are some consensus of that i didnt look as a brother in mexico has used immigrants, trans migration through mexico as a card against washington and to try to force washington not to give it a very hard time when it comes to energy. There is a lot of complaints here in texas, for example, about mexicos nationalistic approach to energy. And of course, the electric bill that would exclude a lot of investment from the United States. And theres a lot of complaints on mr. Lopez over at or would like to be much more nationalistic, uncertain sectors. I dont think you can, at the end of the day achieve any kind of arrangement on immigration, on trade, on security and all kinds of issues. If you do not link them and all of them will have to make some concessions at the end of the day. The Canadian Military has joined rescue efforts in the flood, devastated province of British Columbia.

But you know, this is misses quite significant here. It affects a lot of people and its really disheartening to see in the canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke about the situation, nbc, from the Canadian Embassy in washington. As you know, the folks from British Columbia are going through extremely difficult times right now, and the federal government is working with the provincial government and everyone on the ground to help them as best we can. I asked minister blair to convene and Incident Response Response Group meeting yesterday. He convene another one to again today, and they gave him the ministers gave an update a little earlier today to canadians this afternoon. Up. First of all, we approved b.

There are estimating that the total amount of money that could be needed to rebuild that area. Not only the farms, but the homes, and the infrastructure that has been lost could be more than 1000000000. 00. Where im at now is the town of su moss on the west side of the border in the state of washington. This is in the northwest part of the United States. This is a small town of about 1600. 00 residents only. And they are very much at the epicenter of this storm pass through here a couple of days ago as well. And theyre now very much in a clean up stage as the cold wet rain continues to fall here. Let me step out of frame. So you get a sense of what this cleanup looks like here there. Or as i mentioned, 1600 residents of this town. And its estimated that about 80 percent of the homes had some sort of water damage or were totally destroyed. Most of the residents have bleed, but the few that have stayed have ever are bringing all of their data now destroyed, possessions that are inside their home. And bringing them here to be taken away to be taken away to the dump. Still to come here on al jazeera, farcical and politically motivated, a groups in the e. U.

Recently, medics are protesting, saying that overworked and underpaid. Many European Countries, of course, on the horns of a dilemma, significant part of the population dont want to get vaccinated that nor did people want more restrictions on their day to day lives. Well, those are on back to needed, obviously are more susceptible to getting infected and, and having severe symptoms. So theyre, theyre driving the pandemic. The other issue is that European Countries are being very reactive, rather than proactive. Theres been largely a focus now on vaccination and less of a focus on other control measures like face masks and interiors in the bid, which i think is incredibly important.
