people from across the central america and the caribbean is slowly trudging north to it's under the heat of the mexican sun, some laden with their belongings. others carrying small children in the photos in a tired from the arduous janney montgomery. no upon we've walked a lot honestly. i don't know how many kilometers are i mean? yeah, yeah. my daughter can't walk anymore, like carrier in my arms because she needs to rush to back. she's only 3 years old. a. be. see why she's not healthy. she's a lawyer. it's around $6000.00 strong. it's the largest team in calvin to try to make the journey in every year. some left the homes to escape violence, others to get away from economic hardship. but they're all heading to the us to try

to forge a better life for themselves and their families. it's a journey full to a danger counsellor smart goods, full tray, to criminal gangs, full face extortion by police and immigration officials. several have also drowned trying to cost to be a grand, a, live a separate to mexico in the us. this footage, taken by other migrants shows 3 men struggling to stay afloat in the rivers mackie debt. despite the pedals, the number of people making the journey is increasing. and with an election near, looming on both sides of the border that could have wide ranging political implications. russian authorities had moved jailed kremlin credit collection about a to a remote penal colony in northern russia. that's according to his spokes person. the body's team tracked him down after he had not been seen for more than 2 weeks.

his lawyer visited him in the new prison. the valley is seen as the most prominent opponents of vladimir putin and his serving and 19 year sentence for alleged extremism and other charges. he was in prison nearly 3 years ago. this is whitney bonnie's spokesperson, kara yamma, she had to say, as well. we find, let's see, up to 3 weeks of full search in full or region in the north of russia in a several months called hop in the panel. and number 3 does it then will go on it will for especially really is it was a, it was and gives you from there. i mean, and i, she will have a list, phone calls lists, meetings with relatives list parcels she can receive was the thing is that even before when she was in this light or version of going, if she didn't have already any phone calls, any meetings in any parcels, so actually the thing is is there is no more in rush as it is applied to alexi z o

is creates sheets for human special conditions and they don't have anything to do with the law now. so we don't have any rooms we know for sure that so in this new calling, you know, she's conditions would be even worse since they were before they did want to try to isolate alexi and to make it more difficult to assess him there. and also the a just trying to reach his life is unbearable as it possibly can be, because this prison will be much worse. dw, russia analyst, constantine haygoods, has been, has more on the conditions and upon the faces after he was transferred to the piano colony in northern russia. well, we do know that she is in the bottom of the most remote penal calling is in russia . it's the demo peninsula or the, the bank, so the optics, see,

it's permafrost there, and it is very, very badly connected. essentially, there was only one channel of communication presented, that's us. and that means that visiting the volume, maintaining called a token, will be extremely difficult. and that was probably the whole idea behind these trusts for. and of course there was an additional insult on suffering as a to the family and to the followers of the valley. because of the tweaks. there was no news about him, but in the sense it's a standard procedure for high profile prisoners when they are being transported from one people, calling it to another. it's sometimes done under this cover of secrecy actually to increase suffering because to remind you the russian bill system remain well, give a take mon. ringback is the same as it was on the stalling, and it was designed as a john system of torch. the message is very simple. nobody really is

going to walk in jail for as long as pretend is in power. and that's going to take quite a bit of time, but he's also, they also demonstrated by these to last week, so hopefully he incommunicado that they can do anything to him. that of nobody's life is completely of the mercy of the crab. and that was trust again and distressed during the beginning of put in so called election campaign preparation for the so called election. i think the message is very simple. there is only one politician. russia is, name is, wasn't able to put him in any one who stands if his way is going to get any stream, any harsh treatment, its dw, of rush at all this constantine negative reporting there. so monday was the 1st time the ukraine observed christmas as a public holiday on december 25th. traditionally ukrainian, celebrated december on january 7th in line with the russian orthodox church

following the julian calendar. it's part of a cultural shift away from moscow after last year's invasion. believers turned out in force to celebrate the new christmas day and keeps saints, a c, a cathedral. amongst those attending there was widespread support for the new date . that's a problem. this is the right thing to do, in my opinion. looks over the civilized world. all of europe does the same. you don't want to be associated with the aggressor country and celebrate the way they do. we're together with europe when these out of the civilized world. and god is with us both. i think changing the official date of christmas is very important. the country should distance itself from russia and its holidays. the o. c. u z. but am ukraine's president held his 2nd christmas eve address since rest is full scale invasion. he offered words of hope and his vision

to move away from restaurants and closer to europe. a lead paper on the slide here are, as i've seen today when we're ukrainians altogether. we o celebrates christmas together on the same day as one big family as one nation as one united country. and today i will come and pray. i will be stronger than ever show the people's pray. today. it will you not? millions of voice is more than ever before, and it will resonates, we bounce a time. difference of 2 weeks resonates together with you up envelope 0 for your sweet christmas day. and ukraine saw another tradition for, as many church services were held in ukrainian instead of russian. some harvey, german swimmers, celebrated christmas day by taking a swim in the chilly walters of the capital berlin. but this year's dip was fairly

mild compared to previous years. with temperatures climbing above 10 degrees celsius, berlin seals didn't have to remove trunk, suffice to enter the water this time, the group has been braving the cold water since it was founded in east berlin. in 1980 you are watching the news coming to live from berlin on terry martin, thanks for being with us. or the use key about the video that goes enabled other data media may google, google. i've gotta be done by to get other stuff into that and i'll give you a go on. would you? are you able to go to that? i'm jo, media, dog, power and key. more people than ever on the move world wide in such
