rule can push a stroller in a dorm break he explains why. this is that this is the leg it's bad it's this one with paul here it's been seven months. early in his sophie's eight months pregnant but she didn't want to have her baby back code. but out alone he would have suffered like the other children there born into poverty after a four hour was she struggling then the family gets a break a ride from a passing truck it revives the flagging children it set some down before a migration checkpoint one of several in the south mix can rotate without papers their only hope to get through is by sheer force of numbers they have to wait for the others at least erling compressed two hours later the caravan catches up and passes together the type ticks worked. but as mid day approaches the race allies have other problems no food or water no spare clothes

a man pulls up out of nowhere and helps with the first two and then the third. because the mexicans of been divided over the caravan but today help is ever present this lady simply sweeps up the family and pays the bus tickets just in time at the end of their strength. and it makes you wonder what's going to happen to them i just had to help and i saw the baby they finally made it two weeks here they can rest but there's no shelter so we just have these blankets for the children don't sleep on the pier pavement as the rain foods they try and work out their next move so everyone's just settling down now after what's been an exhausting day and they've still got about two thousand come home and says to get to the buddha and that they cover right that's going to take them at least a month and a hall but first there's a lawyer

a his family has to try and get through the noise john home and how does he had a week's. u.s. president donald trump has announced new sanctions on venezuela and warned of more measures against cuba and nicaragua is a ministration has branded them a troika of tyranny well the measures include sanctions on venezuela's gold sector which the u.s. says has been used to finance criminal groups u.s. citizens are now not allowed to trade with people or networks involved in its sale or export national security advisor john bolton says new sanctions on more than two dozen entities owned or controlled by the cuban military and intelligence services will be announced soon andy's threatened action against the nicaraguan government of president daniel ortega which is accused of cracking down on protesters and eroding democratic institutions well joining us live from new york is newsweek deputy global editor robert valencia so just talk us through wide trump is imposing sanctions on what his administration is branding this troika of tyranny is this all

about domestic political gain ed of the midterms and why now. sure well it is important to address what's going on in latin america especially with the. government in venezuela what's happening in the crowd were those issues are very important but it is interesting that these sanctions come at a time where the democrats i'm sorry the republicans are having some each garnering political support especially in florida i don't think there's any coincidence that john bolton gave this speech in florida where you see two democratic candidates one for the governor's seat and for senate actually going neck and neck with the republicans in that state not to mention florida is a battleground state and it's a very important location when it comes to elections both for the midterms next week and also for twenty twenty for the upcoming presidential elections so let's

talk about the in don't have you think there is one of the cells ok let's talk about the individual countries themselves rather because the u.n. general assembly has just voted overwhelmingly again for the u.s. to lift its embargo on cuba subplot from israeli support the u.s. stands very much alone on this doesn't it. well not just the united states israel as well what i wanted to mention from the previous question is that obviously the the message that bolton gave was to sort of revive the the electorate in miami particularly you know upcoming comprised of the cuban americans and as well as i think the nicaraguans living in miami now to your question obviously the sanctions come at a time where the the majority of u.n. member countries reject the blockade what they call the blockade in cuba what we call the embargo here in the united states so obviously this sort of brings

memories of the cold war era obviously that's not exactly what bolton mentioned but it certainly gives ammunition to these countries to have an anti-american rhetoric particularly cuba and venezuela and what about venezuela then because there are sanctions already imposed on some individuals but what impact will this have on a country that's already close to economic collapse. that's a really good question and one thing if the same goes for cuba these are just extensions of sanctions that we have already seen the same shoes against cuba go directly to military rank and file in havana people who have businesses will no longer establish any sort of again you know any kind of financial. ties or any business ties with u.s. citizens the same goes for need for venezuela people especially the sanctions here

are specifically on the fact that. the man during the situation al legibly bra gold from turkey at least twenty three tunick tons of gold from from one kara now the sanctions don't this specifically affect the country they affect the whole fishelson in venezuela i think this regime has been very careful in establishing these sanctions if this will because it will affect the people not just the government robot just a brief one before you go what about nicaragua i mean president has ok straight to this brutal crackdown against protesters what will the sanctions mean for him in the country. well i would say that t.p.s. i mean it's an interesting relationship between the united states and the crowd where because while trump has had a really nice tough stance on the. president of nicaragua then you know if the guy has been cooperating with ice the entity that is in charge of

deporting you know undocumented immigrants the united states so they have been they signed off on the agreement a couple you know a couple of months ago where they will be bringing in the congo nationals into the country not to mention the t.p.s. the temporary protected status for many central americans is about to expire so it is unclear how the sanctions will affect the crowd well but boulder ortega and the trump of these russian having working closely together to bring the nicaraguan nationals to the central american nation robert dylan said thanks very much for talking to al-jazeera. not sure lanka's president has climbed down and his decision to suspend parliament calling for a meeting of politicians next week the sacking of prime minister runa wickramasinghe and his replacement with former leader it may hinder rajapaksa has caused a political crisis with critics warning it's an unconstitutional move that could lead to a bloodbath but speaking to our jazeera russia plants have defended his appointment

as legitimate but as with reports from colombia. he has all the trappings of prime minister including access to the office but the new prime minister mahinda rajapaksa is acting unconstitutionally his critics say because he was appointed by president by three policy we say to a not elected by the embers of parliament on a mr rajapaksa how useless i see you as your of an appointment due to many things yes it's the institution that is but the argument is that parliament should be deciding who's the prime minister not the normal norm. or read the institution in a real fight and so your immediate plans for a no you are assuming the prime minister's position i feel lucky to be ignored or of use the rajapaksa needs the backing of one hundred thirteen m.p.'s to solidify his return to power but the president suspended parliament some suspect he did that to give rajapaksa time to get enough support how will you get enough support from

parliament how would you get the n.p.c. what we have got that an event that the sure and so why the delay in recalling parliament what are we hanging on for the moment because we want to. get ready for the world i did rajapakse it was at the prime minister's office to meet academics telling them there's no crisis as far as he's concerned it certainly is a crisis but the ousted prime minister running away from a single he's refusing to leave the official residence of the pm he says he remains prime minister because the power to sack him was stripped from the president two years ago by an amendment to the constitution the whole structure of government in the country is still very strong the executive. and the presumption is that the presidency is the strongest office even though the nineteenth amendment has made changes to that and therefore what the presidency has to say go rajapaksa serve two terms as president defeated tamil separatists in

a twenty six year long civil war but was accused of human rights abuses in the process his family and in a circle is under investigation for corruption and are you looking forward to your new positions are you looking forward to being prime minister really much to you had to play hard to get behind the rajapaksa is presenting an image of business as usual but we've run away from a single still claiming to be the legitimate prime minister things are far from usual parliament will though now get to have the final say it seems when it's soon recalled and m.p.'s get to vote byrne and al-jazeera colombo armenia's president has dissolved parliament and called a snap election after politicians failed to choose a new prime minister nicole passion young resigned from the position last week and has been pushing for the only poll of parliaments dominated by passion the previous as has been blocking his agenda since he took office in may following anti-government protests election is set for december the ninth. thousands of

a statement saying that an attorney has been appointed to closely follow the case. according to the saudi consulate general embassy officials in washington have contacted the family and extended its support and aid in this trying time it said the sisters were students accompanying their brother in washington investigators have also visited the fairfax condominium where the family had lived for the last three years as well as george mason university where the older sister had been studying until last spring trying to determine where they were in the two months since they'd been missing i think intactness work has filled in many of the pieces but these still some gaps like to. throw away. thank you i'm going to clear picture of that after the last two months there has been no harm and that significant progress trying to get to the picture of what ultimately led to the two young ladies being discovered reports suggest the girls were alive when their bodies entered the water police are appealing to the public for any information in their

level of the individual when you picture a child who has suffered from asthma throughout their life it has been provoked by air pollution that eventually takes their life if this was anything else that was killing children in that way i have to say we would we would have acted years ago scientists and conservation assad debating whether to turn one of the most remote parts of the planet into an ocean sanctuary the weddell sea in antarctica could be home to thousands of undiscovered species many supporters in your proposal to make it the no guns and for industrial fishing mining and deep sea drilling mcclung visited the area and in this year. been february al-jazeera joined the greenpeace icebreaker the arctic sunrise as she pushed through into the remote waters of the weddell sea collecting evidence to support the bid to turn a huge section into an ocean sanctuary it is a vast on known territory few ships venture here almost year round sea ice making

it a challenge to fall for most. it looks like helping you. yes . break. off to several days of trying we finally broke through and we took a chance in a rare window of weather to take to the air to see what may soon become the largest protected area on a so what we're looking at here is melting yes sea ice and great icebergs to be the glass is sweeping up james ross island that the weddell sea extends way to a distance over that proposed area pretty much on touched by human activity almost no scientific research is taking place. it's the realm of the penguin and myriad marine species but it's not the realm of men and many want to keep it that way the sentry proposal would protect an area five times the size of germany. part of the evidence being assessed by the end top to commission was gathered by the expedition

submarine on board which the antarctic specialist says. it has one hundred percent coverage and the sea floor. has a great three d. structure which allows other organisms to come in and if they and a really interesting species composition and all these factors make it really difficult for a community to become popular it disturb it such as part of the fishing we call these areas fundable marine ecosystem and hopefully we can get to this and other areas we come across some special protection that we saw firsthand how accessible the outer limits of antarctica have already become and now there's a huge effort to protect vaal swathes of this stunning continent the antarctic ocean commission has given itself a mandate to create this law scale network of marine protected areas is given a mandate to use the best available science and we believe that the hosel is absolutely fulfilling that monday scientific consensus around the world as we need to be protecting roughly a third of the world's oceans by twenty thirty we've got to start down here in the
