6:11 am
of weeks they've left early to avoid the midday sun but dad alvin a struggling tool can push the 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 mum elin has sophie's eight months pregnant but she didn't want to have her baby back code that meant it that 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's set some down before a migration checkpoint one of several in the south from its commercial 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 tix worked but is mid day approaches the race
6:12 am
allies have other problems no food. no spare clothes a man pulls up out of nowhere and helps with the first two and then the third. becomes he said she makes consent 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 when i saw the baby they finally made it two weeks here they can rest but there's no shelter so that we just have these blankets for the children don't sleep on the pier pavement as the rain fools they try and work out their next move so everyone is just settling down now after what's been an exhausting day but they've still got about two thousand kilometers to get to the buddha and that they cover right that's going to take them at least a month and

6:14 am
using this to their advantage in the sense that he has been using this to mislead people during this midterm election and so he has given them a great platform the media and so yeah i think that they do know the opposition that they face but they also know that there is a greater america that does embrace them and does welcome them we're talking about over seventy five hundred people that are trying to cross the border for a better tomorrow and so we're not sure what's going to happen we do know that mexico is open to helping the families united states obviously doesn't have the same. attitude or heard the same grace for the families and really the united states but you know this is a you know the president of the united states who is really using this you know to make sure that he rallies up his voters in this midterm election for whatever reason you know he's using these scare tactics to make sure that people come out and vote in favor of his politics which we know of course are inhumane i mean there
6:15 am
are literally against what america stands for and so you know it is going to be a problem that we're going to be seen for some time and you know we're going to be watching but yeah i you know they they will you know there will be on our radar for quite some time this is you know this is a huge undertaking. talking about seventy five hundred people a hundred miles away from our borders there's a lot that's going to happen a weather update next here on out zero then. there's no question it gives the right thing to do walking out on google thousands of employees around the world protest of a sexual harassment and workplace inequality. and other satellites it is a good two it reveals

6:23 am
legitimate but smith reports from colombo. 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 no and not elected by the embers of parliament one of mr rajapaksa how useless i see you as your of a loved one legitimately think serbia says it's the institution of this budget the argument is that parliament should be deciding who's the prime minister not the normal norm. read the institution of the new framework and so your immediate one search for a now you're assuming the prime minister's position i feel lucky to be ignored or both of these 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
6:24 am
support from parliament how would you get the m.p.'s we have got to understand that the short and so why the delay in recalling parliament what are we hanging on for norm because we want to. get ready for the i did rajapakse that 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 ronnell wickramasinghe or 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
