Virus infections. Sweeps, europe, new restrictions are re imposed for unvaccinated citizens to contain the spread. Ah, the indian Prime Minister, another and remedy is repealing 3 controversial farm laws that had triggered nationwide protest. The government introduced the measures last year saying they would modernize the Agriculture Sector. The farmer said the reforms threatened their livelihoods, and had been demonstrating and massive numbers to get them overturned. Now mr. Moody is telling them to quotes, go home. Id met up today, i have come to tell you and the entire nation that we have decided to repeal the 3 laws harmony you will complete the constitutional process of repealing the laws during the parliament. The session will begin to the end of this month. Today i am asking all my former friends who had been protesting to return to your homes, your farmland, and your family poverty, motel tracking. That story for us to bureau in new delhi, putney, any reaction yet from either the farmers or the farmers unions . Yes, both, in fact, on one hand, theyre celebrating because this is something that theyve been waiting to hear for more than a year now. I mean, farmers have been stationed outside new delhi to winter, to the he, to the pandemic, saying that they want these 3 laws which their se would need them, was off to be repealed. And the government until today has been seeing that these laws are actually going to benefit them. So for so today is a big day of for them. On the other hand, the unions that are happy about this have said that they would only go home once the parliament which passed the 3 laws were repeal them. Officially, the Prime Minister announced today just a few hours ago that he is asking his ministers to work on a plan to repeat it formally. So the unions have said that they will wait for that to happen before they turn back and actually go to it is also, you know, interestingly 0, one of the most important festivals in the sick community. The but they off the 1st say good or the most revered figure are in the rental agent. And that community has been at the forefront off of this throat as they are. Most of them are from punjab, you know, the green ball of india. So its interesting to see this announcement come today, so to double celebration, for most farmers, does this mean no path need that the governments logic of the Agriculture Sector needs to be modernized . Is that logic correct and accurate . Or is it flawed on to the farm . As disagree with it. So the reforms in agriculture has been going on for many years now. You know, farmers have been pushing for more re form, you know, to make sure that they get better prices. You know, theyve been facing the bunch of Climate Change also. So theyve been really worse off over the last few years, and the government maintains that these laws are actually good for the farmers. What they are saying is that theyre feared in communicating the benefits of these to the farmers, while the farm ones do say that they were actually pro corporate and they were gonna have Companies Make more money at the cost of their livelihoods. You know, that is still a bone of contention, so we have to see how the government will go and communicate the benefits of these laws. Because as of now, they havent accepted that these laws will flawed in any way this time by these laws, or what theyre saying is that read and managed to convince the hundreds of thousands of farmers whove been protesting for more than a year. Now, is that the key thing here personally, that mr. Moody, his administration, theyre not saying these laws are dead and buried. They seemed to be saying implicitly saying, look, theyre on hold in effect we, we could, or maybe we will revisit them. So thats a question they have left open ended because right now, as you said, its about the communication and thats something that they have been saying for a while that these fought for our laws are good. I think whats important to see is how it plays out going forward. You know, 2 of the most important states, especially when it comes to the protesting our sites are going into election. That is the state of open for the and the state of been job board states heavily dependent on agriculture, both states at the forefront off the far protest. So we have to see how the bud, the gender part you, which is the Prime Ministers. Political party goes out and talk to the farmers, you know, whether they try and communicate to them that these farms are actually good, whether they invite more farmers to have more discussions and sort of find emitted ground to pass another reform law. So thats something that well see when they actually hit the vote. We may also see, you know, a version of this law copper to with other benefits to the farmers. So that is something that were waiting for it to play out when it formally electioneering begins. And a couple of months happening. Thank you very much. Well get more on the store a little later here on this half hour from al jazeera, but in the meantime. Thank you. Patty. Matilda, a correspondent deli. There been signs of anything in the border crisis on the European Unions eastern flank, with a plan from the nation accused of creating the problem. And the 1st large group of migrants returning home. The western borders of bella roost remained essentially sealed with a heavy security presence in latvia, the few alia and poland there at the keyboard. A crossing of course, need some thousands of people are still waiting in temperatures which fall below freezing overnight. But around 400 iraqi migrants of abandoned their attempt to enter the u. Heading instead for the bell russian capital minsk. From there they boarded an evacuation flight organized by the Iraqi Government ultimately heading for baghdad. Its 1st up was the northern iraq, the city of bill. Most of the passengers were iraqi kurds, from the autonomous region close to the border with turkey. Many had been stranded on the poland beller roost border for more than a week before giving up on reaching the e u. M. Around con reports now from the airport in bill. As they arrive at, you can see the exhaustion in their faces while some a glad to be home. Other say the return, but im going back. Im ready to try 100 times again next. So my tend to go. The Kurdish Regional government of which our bill is the capital released a statement blaming people smugglers for jupiter rockies into going to bella luce, the statement promised to crack down on them in the last few days, they say they were us to 10 members of a criminal smuggling gang, some of those returning thursday described a horrific experience. Those of her i will not be to hear. The situation is so bad, the smugglers using people ive seen people dying before my own eyes. 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 have before. The future for them is blinking on the 341. 00. 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. Among con, our desert, a real and as i, big has been monitoring the situation on the poland bella roost border stranded cold, and living in miserable conditions. These people under bella, russian side of the border with poland and now getting some help. But its far from what they want and need. Bella roosters has some in a makeshift shelter, a warehouse with beds, blankets, and food. But still they tried to cross. Oh. This footage, released by polish authorities, chose people detained as they crossed the border. Ah, me on a dub, in the green suppose there were 501. 00 attempts of the legal border crossings from belarus in the last 24 hours. This means the total number of such attempts in november exceeds 6000. C but the Russian Forces also released this footage. Lithuanian border force dog bites into a man sleeping bag. Lithuanian authority say they didnt know someone was inside. The e u wants to impose more sanctions and the g 7 has condemned by the roost. They say its creek to the situation on his borders in what the you called a form of hybrid attack by the russian official say the president has offered german, chancellor and le merkel away forward with agent. With this museum, the e will create a humanitarian current offer 2000 refugees her and the camp. She would take an obligation upon ourselves to assist the other 5000 as much as possible and in case they are willing to return home. Something that you had rejected out of hand, but tensions of bedrooms. His borders remain high. Ukraine has deployed the National Guards to its border with bella, roofs, and lithuania is also reinforced its border with the country. But the roof says it wont force any migrants or 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, bella roost, and his ally, russia insist, the crisis was manufactured by the e. U, please, and you did tell them that when they start on this one kind of help. But see that western countries are using the migration crisis on the better route and polish border as a new reason for tension in the region. That is close to us and to pressure ment question. And at the same time, they forget their own obligations in the humanitarian sphere, the bird, the spanish coast guard, has rescued a group of migrants stranded in a boat near the canary islands. The boat was carrying 40 people, 2 of them died at sea. 2 others were taken to hospital in the critical condition. It is the 2nd time this week, the coast guard has had to make a rescue in that area. North american leaders spelled a summit for the 1st time in 5 years. The us president joe biden, hosting mexicos and red manuel lopez open the door and the canadian Prime Minister justin photo at the white house. Top of the agenda covered 19 the pandemic, and the climate crisis. My kind of reports now from washington. 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 Action 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. Mr. President is a delight to have you here for you 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 was great to welcome back from mr. Earlier biden and canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau 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 new 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. The 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 up unity and common purpose. Reviving the 3 amigos label that was applied when b summits were far more frequent. My cannot audience era, washington lost more grounds still to cover for you here now to 0, including these stories, assessing the damage, severe flooding and landslides, language to home, roads and bridges in western canada. And calls for an investigation into the death of a palestinian prisoner in israeli custody. Ah ha, once again, the weather remains remarkably wet across southern parts of india. We got to areas of low pressure to watch out for this to the clutches storms. Here in the south west of the bay. I have been golden. Another system over towards sir. The arabian sea is one of the re been safe and bringing that very heavy rain up towards good. Right. And you can see how it will bring further showers in across even across the northern plains. Shouldnt be seeing this at this time. If you my to the west and gets also seeing some heavy showers got this other system here, little yellow shading on our rainfall chart, there shows whether central the storm is light is to be on friday and that will bring very heavy rain back in across a good puzzle terminal to southern parts of under protesting for the shower. No showers really becoming very widespread as we go on through sat stace, im afraid the flood risk really will be quite extensive here. Red orange warnings in force across southern parts of india. At the moment, no such problems on the other side of the arabian sea wont rind sonny sounded up for most i say most its a different story just around all of that. We got little clutch of showers there, spilling in the med, see some wet weather coming into syria, lebanon, jordan, some live the shower, even standing. They went in northern parts of iraq, one or 2 showers, to for that asian sort of turkey all the way up into the plexi. Ah, with step beyond the comfort zone. Where assumptions are challenged, traveled to the ends of the earth, and further experience the unimaginable of the people who live it is probably the most extreme situation ive been involved in. How quickly things contract Award Winning documentary is that also a perception witness on a just a una lou. The me welcome back here without you in your top stories this half hour, the indian Prime Minister not remote is repealing 3 controversial farm. Was that for going to europe nation, my protest, almond said the reforms threatened their livelihood. Telling them to go home. Hundreds of iraqis who gave up trying to enter the have arrived back home. The migrants and refugees have been stranded on the border between bellows and overland in cold weather conditions. And has also been the 1st signs of an easing and the crisis with a plan from the nation accused of creating it says its meant hundreds people to nearby warehouse. Ok, lets return to our top story that controversial farm laws and theyre being scrapped and india. Joining us now from new delhi has been sharma, hes the Political Editor of the hindustani times. Been chombo. Welcome to al jazeera. Were saying the laws are being scrapped. Were totally convinced that mr. Moody thinks the laws have been utterly scrapped. I mean, these laws dont seem to be dead and buried yet. No, i see. He said that hed have them been gone during the session, which comes up on the 29th of this month. And the farmers in response have said that they will continue with the education data. The laws of all believe to be good by parliament, because these are the laws that were passed by parliament to unless the bomb and Parliament Takes them back. They said that they will continue to be for the protest, but while they are crap they were taken back. Theyve also said that the demand of the minimum support price and he giving it the statutory call should be also met by the Prime Minister. So the initial response to the farmers has been a bit mixed. Theyre happy, but not fully satisfied yet. Okay, theyre not fully satisfied yet. Who do you think mister moody has been listening to . I mean, has he been listening to the protest, us or his own political advisors saying, look, this might be a protest too far, or the protests are getting so big. You will have a political problem here. Yes, this was a something which was being told to him regularly by his old Party Colleagues and also the opposition members, one gardener of a state, you know, appointed by of egypt. The mr said to bon malackle comes from the farming background, has been, had gone public with his resentment, and he had told the government that you would be peer have the place for it. Not only in the upcoming is Assembly Elections in order to provision, they are not on job, et cetera, but also in the 2000 good default look. So by elections, unless you will draw these laws. And i think that the Prime Minister, the finally, the good sense is gone and they have, they have deacon back. These laws are. But lets see what happens in parliament. And lets see how the things been out when elections get closer. There may be some new fresh, but mutations and combinations in terms of allowances or to suit shedding arrangements between the b u. B, and some other parties, especially the former prime minot, produce minister upon job captain of an interesting who had said, after quitting the congress, that he was dia with a b, a b. If the Prime Minister expect the laws or does some changes to the laws. So he is welcomed that the teaching of the Prime Minister. So were going to see some fresh allen mentioned on job as also in hot air now because there were 3 states which are impacted the maximum ah, politically for the b g b, which was a down up and job and bark. Showalter for this is basically the western world supervision who had ship borders, hud anna. So i think that this is something good sensors. Dawn may be a little late about her 7 to 900 star board or sounded to farmers have lost their lives to so side to inclement weather. My do are by accident through the course of this agitation. This was an unprecedented but best. But at the longest, one has seen forced independence in this country, and the farmers have shown their will power. And the Prime Minister finally decided to stoop to conquer alexi, or whether he con cars or not. But there is no harm stooping in front of Public Opinion in a democracy. Ok, we must leave it there. Been on charlotte. Great to get your thoughts on this breaking story. Thank you very much. European governments are increasingly restricting the lives of and banks, and 80 people as cobit 19 infections. Again, but doctors questioning of countries have relied too heavily on jobs while neglecting other containment measures, like masks and social distancing. Is rory challenge the father full how long the sea front had been doing this resort town on spains east coast is popular with u. K. Package tourists seeking an escape from the autumn weather back home. But a spike in local coated cases recently suggest they may have been bringing something with them that the show the sellers and we dont have proper data on the rise of the infections. But we did notice as soon as tourism came back to this area, the rise of infections came to this is unquestionable. So visit is being offered, vaccinations, some havent had one at home. And most have arrived on crowded plains. Me arrived at the port yesterday. 5 flights all came in at the same time, and there was thousands of people from manchester, bristol, o q enough together. So thats not, thats not good if youre trying to keep covey down to a minimum. Spains infection rate is rising, but its worse elsewhere in your german chancellor. Anglo merkel says a 4th wave has hit her country with full force where infections worse, access to events and restaurants will only be for those whove been vaccinated for whove recovered munich has canceled. Its Christmas Market infections in bavaria, a double the National Race of 300 or so 100000 uncommon on monday was said that you were allowed to set up. An in the end result is that we have to dismantle now. And we have to bear all the costs. Nobody pays on the cost increase, private doctors are being drafted into the Public Health care system for a month. Hospitals and intensive care was being overwhelmed by rising infections, recently, medics of protesting thing 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, but nor do 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 interior is the co bid, which i think is incredibly important. The death tolls on what they were earlier in the ap rake, but people are still dying. And once again, europe is the center of the worlds coven. 19 pandemic will reach helens. Out to 0. The Canadian Military has joined rescue efforts in the flood, devastated province of British Columbia.

There is a lot of worry because thats a very agriculture rich area of a south west canada and with potentially dozens of farms totally underwater officials. 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 seumas on the west side of the border in the state of washington. It 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 that passed through here a couple 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 can get a sense of what this cleanup looks like here there. Or as i mentioned, 1600. 00 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 are now destroyed possessions that are inside their home. And bringing them here to be taken away. To be taken away to the dump.
