i like the stories of. hopefully one outcome of the event we remember our shared humanity. history. this is al jazeera. jordan this is the al-jazeera news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. this is the most important election. a final push for votes in the u.s. ahead of midterm elections which are being seen as a referendum on donald trump's presidency. as calls grow for saudi arabia to reveal where the body of murdered journalist. new information emerges about who was in charge of getting rid of his remains. for internally displaced people are burnt to the ground in central african republic thousands have been displaced in the latest

fighting. and will they stay or will they go people in the french territory of new caledonia votes on whether to cut ties with france and become independent. complaining in the u.s. midterm elections has entered its final stage both president donald trump and former u.s. president barack obama are drumming up support before the vote on tuesday with trump's campaign focused on immigration and jobs he's threatened to change the right to citizenship for anyone born in the u.s. the republicans currently control both houses of congress but the democrats hope to at least win back the house of representatives a rob reynolds joins us now from washington d.c. rob president trump has been crisscrossing the country in the final push ahead of the midterms what effect is he having. that's right daryn this race is coming right

down to the wire and president trump is actually holding rallies in two states today nearly opposite corners of the country one in montana and one in florida he's also been tweeting busily to his millions of followers on behalf of republican candidates now trump fires up his base which which is important for any republican candidates and that's a benefit to them but overall his approval rating is quite low at forty percent according to the latest gallup poll and that is lower than any president facing a midterm election since one thousand nine hundred seventy four and that was in the wake of the watergate scandal that caused the resignation of president richard nixon and his subsequent pardon by gerald ford president gerald ford and the republicans were squashed in that election so that's a historical note and then there were indications that previously reliable

supporters of the republican party such as especially white women who live in the suburbs of major cities have soured on trump to the extent that they are actually turning towards the democratic party side in a lot of incumbent republicans in those suburban areas are running hard or running more difficult campaigns than they have in many years and rob lots of talk about this blue wave expected by the democrats but as you say the polls have been wrong in the process how the democrats expected to do. well yeah you're absolutely right there and i mean let's the when we talk about polls let's remember two thousand and sixteen and now spectacularly wrong all the pollsters were about donald trump winning in the electoral college with the consensus among the pundits and the pollsters and the analysts is that the democratic party will take the house of representatives and that the republican party will retain control of the senate the upper house in the u.s.

congress but in the end it all comes down to turnout to people actually getting out and voting there's been a lot of early voting but election day is the big one and we have a report now from andy gallagher who is in alabama who met some candidates who are trying to energize voters and set an example. and then the amount of bomb of the annual magic city classic brings the entire community together it's an american football showdown between the two largest historically black universities as the midterm elections approach politics is never far away. but doug jones this is an important event when he won a special election last year jones became the state's first democratic senator in movement two decades a victory he sealed with overwhelming support from african-american women voters is when say campaign is his spokes change we believe that that's how we're going to

liberate those communities are so you're seeing these women step up particularly black women in the south about how black men to say enough is enough we have to take back our power and put that power back to the people i'm hugh mother of two veronica johnson is one of those determined to challenge the status quo she's just one of a wave of women determined to change alabama's politics so yes i'm unhappy but there's only so much ranting you can do on facebook there's only so much ranting you can do on twitter i can't rant i'm not going to put my feet. out there to make the changes that need to be timed this the most important thing i think is a referendum on the current president the comics that political science professor angela lewis says the unprecedented number of black female candidates will have a lasting impact the women run for office and win office in alabama. come to motivate those women who were sitting on the plane you know i'm tired of politics as usual let me just throw my head out there and one flop and this is the

way. alabama remains a deeply conservative state but the sheer number of candidates this year could be a sign of things to come alabama ranks among the bottom six states of female representation but these midterm elections may change that in all the around seventy female candidates running for various positions many of them african-american and the driving forces behind this are important the election of democrat doug jones being one the me too movement is also playing a role but there's also an overwhelming desire to change politics as normal and make elected officials more representative of the state. where the candidates like veronica win or lose on november the sixth may not matter in the long run it's example they're searching for others that may send the most powerful message i think alec girl jazeera birmingham alabama. thousands of american migrants hoping to reach mexico city have had their hopes dashed their

so-called caravan is traveling north towards the u.s. they were supposed to be taken by bus to the mexican capital but the governor of veracruz state rescinded the offer blaming a water shortage in the city let's get more now from money who's in mexico city just talk us through why these buses to mexico city were called off hasn't got anything to do with the water. well the governor cruz had promised as many as five thousand honduran migrants that have been try. for weeks now that they would have free transportation to bed activists and mexico city only moments later he really he went back on that offer as you mentioned citing a water crisis in mexico city there has been maintenance by the water management agency of mexico city over the last few days that left that that left several million people affected by the water shortages but as of today that water shortage the water crisis if you will is over in fact service has been almost fully restored

to all parts of the city in an open letter to the governor of electors these migrants had said that express their disappointment saying that it was unacceptable that the government would it would offer them free transportation talk about five thousand people trying to make their way to mexico city and then go back on that offer so slept a lot of people very disappointed very disappointed and a lot of migrants. ready to ready to walk here actually model so what happens next then for the migrants one of them long to go now. well the governor of a cruise also invited many of the migrants invited the caravan of migrants to head south toward vector city where they could be provided shelter better taken care of with food as well as attention medical attention given that there have been reports that many migrants have fallen ill but the last report so we heard from our sources within the caravan the said that they have not taken the government off on that offer and have instead opted to leave crowding trucks doing everything that they

can to leave that actress right away their next stop of course being mexico city here they plan to plead their case with mexican officials as well as immigration officials were qwest eight and request transportation ultimately their goal is to reach the southern border of the united states even though it could still be several weeks before they reach that point. in mexico city michael thank you. or let's get more now on the upcoming u.s. midterm elections president trump's policies and rhetoric of inspired a record number of minorities to run mostly for the democratic party well joining us now from kansas city in missouri is state representative barbara in washington she got into politics last year and is on the ballot again on tuesday barbara welcome to the program so a record number of women and also minorities are running in the midterms but let me ask you briefly why did you decide to run what motivated you. i wanted to run because i felt like as an african-american woman who's college

educated activist speak for the total community african-american women have always been the backbone of the democratic party way back to fan fannie lou hamer who just went around organizing making sure people knew what to vote knew what the issues will were to someone as great as shirley chisholm who was the first african-american woman to run for president in america so working with that bag i wanted to be a part of that force that made a difference in our community because those who are representing us now are not doing that and observers say it's not just the number of women running for office that's breaking records it's also the large number of women voters too so what are the issues that women are most concerned about do you think. health care is a big issue for women and making sure that we have preexisting conditions covered equal employment raising the minimum wage and the me to move men has definitely

pushed us forward so that we make sure that we have a quality in the workforce and raising our wages where seventy two cents on the dollar right now for white men and so only with women in office women who understand the issues can we have someone that's there voting and fighting for us and black women can do that better because we remember not only ourselves but we remember women of all colors you mentioned briefly the barber the mitsu movement and donald trump's attitude towards women has certainly empowered many to run for office how much impact ties the mead to movement really have the grassroots level i believe it's have a next dream amount of impact whether women are saying that's why they're getting involved women are fed up they're fed up with being treated like third class citizens especially and the government in america that we helped build and we're putting forward so yes president trumps policies behavior and it's disrespect of

women has pushed women forward i mean when he was running in two thousand and sixteen even said grab them by the you know what and that is a part of the me to move minutes well we're we're tired of sitting back and we're speaking up when we're sexually harassed when we go through sexual deviation when we suffering from domestic violence all of those issues are coming forward ok forefront and legislation is being pushed and it's by women bubba let me get a final thought from before you go in these midterms could assured the first african-american woman as governor the first muslim woman in congress and the first openly bisexual senator but is this just a blip or is it a lost in trend do you think that will heavily impact the presidential vote in twenty twenty. i think it's a long lasting effect black women have been sitting back and helping others go forward we've been the organizers we been the educators we've been getting people

to the polls and we're tired because people are not doing it the way that they should do it for our community so i think this is going to move forward into twenty twenty to be at a position for us to continue to run for office not only today in twenty twenty but forward as well what we run for president in two thousand and twenty i see a president harrison my future and i would love to see that and i know that there are other african american women and women of all colors and people both sexes and colors that would love to see that as well so i think it is long lasting barbara in washington thank you for talking to al jazeera plenty more ahead on the news hour including stranded in the desert some cuts off for months from basic services a family arrives to a remote camp in syria. turkey heads into choppy waters of an oil project that could increase tensions with cyprus and greece and has brought so many baals beats are on record to stand apart from the crowd at the world championships that's also to come.

turkish government media reporting that three members of the saudi hit squad that murdered the journalist were responsible for disposing of his body the newspaper says the men cut up the corpse and put the pieces into five suitcases they were then moved in vehicles to the saudi consuls residents near the consulate where she was killed on october the second some of the suspects of close ties to saudi crown prince mohammed bin. well and sounds of a turkey's president type one wrote in the washington post that he believes the order to kill came from the highest levels of the saudi government has more from istanbul. turkey's on the offensive putting more political pressure on stand your brave year to reveal more information about what happened to the second of october who gave the order to kill him and the whereabouts of his remains the daily

newspaper for example spoke about three key players in the death squads. and other t.v. saying that they were the ones responsible for dismembering the body of. moving parts of the body into the consul's residence where it was destroyed without further elaborating on what happened but it seems that the. leaks that were drip fed to the local media made quite significant in impact in the past forcing the saudis to change their narrative from denial into admitting that this was a premeditated killing and this explains why the president doesn't believe the deputy head of the party are saying that king solomon but abdul aziz the one who should tell the world exactly what happened now what's next for turkey i think they are their eyes are now on the b. term elections in the us and they are waiting for the upcoming meeting between

president abdullah and president trump on the tenth of november in paris and that would decide the next step for turkey but i think they have said in the past they still have strong material that they will use when time comes and this is all part of a bid to force saudis into a cannot ageing that they made a mistake and telling the world who was responsible for that but at the same time they would like to rally international support against saudi arabia for the first time in more than nine months aid has been delivered to more than fifty thousand people in a rock band camp in syria and u.n. convoy of forty three trucks brought much needed food and supplies the camps in a rebel held area near the border with jordan encircled by government forces and reports. it's sandstorm season and rock band we're going blind this boy says our homes are destroyed take us away from him.

rick band is a no man's land in more ways than one a desolate camp in the open desert near the jordanian border caught between warring sides there's no escape. people came here three years ago fleeing i still fight has us russian and syrian airstrikes now there are some fifty thousand people many of them women and children. i know you're one of those protests began last month after a smuggling route for food and medicine was closed by government forces. he's disabled he's also malnourished he's almost a skeleton from starvation officials say u.n. aid convoy expected last week was delayed because of security concerns but now it's finally here food hygiene and health supplies to be distributed over the next three to four days. humanitarian convoys here require approval from damascus the last time rock band received any aid was in january then

a cross border delivery from jordan a red distribution after it sealed its border in the aftermath of a twenty sixteen isolette tac that killed seven jordanian soldier as we said we're not going to. is syrian people on syrian territory so it is the responsibility of the syrian government. and the international community but wasn't established national. this is. by. so that's where. the strangely border. u.s. forces have a military base nearby policing a fifty five square kilometer so-called deescalation zone. russia blames the u.s. for the deteriorating situation the u.s. says russia and syria are using rock band as an excuse to question its presence

here so they really want to help these people if you want to use them as a as a as something to kind of come after us this is not the united states' problem started jordan problem these are syrians these syrians are dying and many of these new graves are so very small the red crescent says despite this delivery the situation remains critical no one perhaps knows that better than those burying their children here. to start. at least ten thousand people have been displaced by fighting in central african republic in the last four days camps set up for those who fled their homes have been attacked and at least two people killed doctors without borders has posted pictures which appear to show camps completely burnt to the ground former president. was overthrown by a coalition of rebel groups back in twenty thirteen well that's when the main the muslim rebel alliance called this a locker seized power in the capital forcing disease or to flee christian groups

called the anti then rose against the muslim fighters but a few months later the celica alliance fell apart and split into several groups and interim government took power in twenty fourteen but failed to stop the bloodshed. two years later for stan. was elected president but he's also struggled to gain control and last year a surge in fighting for several aid agencies to withdraw or leaving tens of thousands without help c.l.r. is now a battleground but in verizon groups mostly former muslim silica fight as an anti by groups well more bens as head of mission for doctors without borders in ca he's calling for more international help to protect civilians in this region which quite critique in the people that are witnessing violence we have received in both hospitals reported by m.s.f. doctors without borders that angle and bam by around twenty four wounded. some of those cases are very critical and we're going to evacuate them. in banbury the

situation continues to be serious because it's very sporadic fighting ongoing and the genes our tillage cannot ward cannot properly to find out that there's more people in need because the very patient that would be willing to come to the hospital but access is not guaranteed a very heightened and going so we're really concerned about that there's two things that are very important for assisting the population there is suffering the violence on the one hand the population need to be protected we need to ensure that the rich protection for this population when fighting between different on groups happens that's really key essential and on the other hand it is very important that we can have as many you know humanitarian actors as possible responding to the different me voters in new caledonia deciding whether or not to break away from france polls opened about two hours ago the last vote for independence was hell

thirty years ago and it ended in violence the territories a strategic military foothold for france in the pacific the thomas reports from vienna in new caledonia. new caledonia is nearly twenty thousand kilometers from paris yet the pacific island territory has been since eight hundred fifty three parts of france but after sunday the bones could be broken new caledonians will be asked whether they want their territory to cede full sovereignty and become independent. opinion polls suggest those of european descent like a vote on this rally in may want to remain french i think played only one france is the best that we can have. but the french states and the french president too visited new caledonia earlier this year are officially neutral that has a lot to do with history in that ninety seven people of indigenous quranic dissent boycotted a referendum because they saw the process then as rigged in favor of french

loyalists the following year on the outlying island of ear supporters of independence resorted to violence on the twenty second of april night an eighty eight a big group of pro independence cannot command stormed the play station then stood on this site killing for placement inside and taking a group of more than twenty others hostage france sent in a military team in the assault two of that team were killed as were nineteen of the hostage takers some it's now known were executed this time france is determined both sides see the process as fair and accept the result only french settlers with a decades long history new caledonia will be eligible to vote and should the result be no to independence independence supporters will have to further chances with follow up referendum to twenty twenty and twenty twenty three sit and. zoeth this time around political leaders have managed the process well. cannot people

especially feel independence is long overdue new caledonia was taken by the french one hundred fifty three there was no agreement from the indigenous people no treaty and supporters of independence think mine. big nickel deposits would be enough for new caledonia to survive economically but loyalists doubt that about one point five billion dollars a year flows from paris to new caledonia as capital near france accounts for fifteen percent of our annual g.d.p. so that you've got us losing that would be a catastrophe many people would lose their jobs the public service would collapse and you caledonians are accustomed to a certain standard of living it would all come down at once unless china stepped in in past decades pacific island nations have been reliant on european benefactors and neighbors in australia new zealand and the united states but china's spending in influence across the pacific region is growing and you caledonia independent of france would quickly become

a target andrew thomas al-jazeera over here and you caledonia. a lawyer representing a christian woman in pakistan acquitted of blasphemy has left the country in fear of his life saved moloch's says he had to leave so he could continue to represent i said maybe with conviction was overturned on wednesday by the supreme court that he had spent eight years on death row officials have now agreed to stop her from leaving pakistan to end violent protests of the courtroom of charges pakistan's minister of information he says the deal with the protesters was struck within the constitutional framework. well you have successfully been able to disprove the situation you know when you have been the cruciatus i think the biggest challenge for the government was not to use you know the date much or not to follow that process there because you are lifted catherine or you know the some of the something happened that it's a bad impression so we have been to fix a little bit to the tensions and diffuse the protests but out hurting anyone that's

a success then when you negotiate a because there are certain things that you have to accept and the other party has except what we have not good negotiated on outside the constitution what ever the did modern we have popular in the constitution and we are today we have to depict the good you know the courts of law fairly given them is the reality and the previous government has not done enough knowledge this government will start a process that will be a little longer that me particularly long but ultimately we have to take this issue previously and we have to. you know bring the country form in education and elsewhere come out high to has more now from islamabad. life is returning to normal hair in progress on the egg drop some moving again between the airports their trains are back on their track you can see heavy traffic on the streets in major

cities but one thing to remember is the fact that the protests that brought this country to over two hundred downstairs were happening mostly in the punjab province and then the province of se and the southern port city of karachi it is important to note that there was less violence and hardly any obstacles or terror day and the high before while province all the province of baluchistan what the people of pakistan have seen as a minority hijacking their majority the rate also it should be noted that this political party was given permission by the election commission to become a mainstream political party and now they're threatening the government the state and institutions over a controversial law that should have been changed long time ago all the blasphemy laws and bug astonish considered a double edged sword and there needs to be council of elders particularly the religious parties to come out with

a consensus that this larger not be misused to mistreat the minority or to throw accusations that anybody of being disloyal to their religion they did something that the government will have to come to grips read they will after strategize on how to deal with this law which has already claimed many innocent lives. time for a short break here not just iraq when we come back the legend of el chapo we look at the rise and fall of one of the most feared criminals in mexico and one of the world's largest tea farms turns over a new leaf with some much needed government help and support leicester city played for the first time since that time i only was killed in a helicopter crash near the stadium on that stage.

has teams on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and live news on air and online. and this is different not that whether someone is going for some of this video read this but it remains true i think it's how you approach an individual and if it is a certain way of doing it to qantas in a good story and fly out. welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here on al-jazeera campaigning in the u.s. midterm elections has entered its final stage of president trump and former vice president joe biden drumming up support for the vote on tuesday democrats are having to win back control of the house of representatives from the republicans.

took his government media reporting that three members of the saudi hit squad that murdered journalist a month ago were responsible for disposing of his body the newspaper says the men cut up the corpse in the consulate and put the pieces into five suitcases they were then taken to the saudi council's residence. and voters in new caledonia are deciding whether or not to break away from vote for independence thirty years ago and that in violence hundred seventy four thousand people are eligible to vote. iran's supreme leader is calling the united states a declining power to washington re-impose sanctions the restrictions on energy shipping in the finance sector have been lifted as part of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with world powers. says the u.s. hasn't been able to defeat iran over the past forty years. america's power and many in the world is declining and moving towards destruction it is waning year by

year today's united states is much weaker than the united states forty years ago when iran's islamic revolution happened america's power is declining and this is the important point is. well the u.s. sanctions on iran will come back into effect on monday iranians are trying their best to stay positive as other reports from the capital tehran. when you look past all the politics. the. unemployment. all of this hurts low income and working people first and foremost they struggle to feed their families because prices for some basic goods have doubled.

people's purchasing power has been reduced they talk about their problems. when a customer wants to buy something you can tell the situation some people used to come here to buy meat once a month. to month when it comes to iran u.s. presidents have pursued a policy of containment for decades trying to limit iranians economically militarily and politically in their regional and global affairs even the twenty fifteen nuclear deal that president barack obama championed that gave iran back some of its financial freedoms many iranians saw that is just a softer approach to the same containment policy but by turning back the clock on bilateral ties with iran what president donald trump has done is to show people here that during his administration there will be no blurred lines between friends and enemies but if hope pushing iranians towards poverty would inspire them to topple their own leaders he'll likely be disappointed previous protests never got big enough all he's apparently done is make people here miserable. do you

think mr trump is a crazy man who made the situation in the region drastically worse his involvement in the region and sanctions have made the people hate him i really don't think that he's the one that should be the president of america. maybe good for his own people but not as you do. it's better not to say anything about his personality everyone knows how. everybody knew. when iran's leaders signed the nuclear deal they said it was the thing to fix everyone's financial problems three years later with american promises of more sanctions than ever before the best that people here can hope for is that iran can manage to sell enough oil to survive until donald trump has left the white house zain. turkey's move to start drilling for oil and gas in the mediterranean is threatening

to escalate the dispute with greece turkey's energy minister is warning of retaliation if the greek maybe harasses turkish warships join the exploration period so i'm cacio reports from antalya. there is soon mediterranean is the new frontier for oil and gas it's home to libya thumb and tom are gas fields of the israeli coast the source of facing egypt and also aphrodite discovered by the greek cypriots and the region's underwater wealth appeals to turkey which is dependent on energy imports all the g. and g. studies and everything is telling us it is the right locations but you never know without doing so ankara is sending its first ship out to drill for natural resources this is the ship that turkey is using to drill for oil and gas she is called party which means the conqueror the first exploration will begin around one hundred ten kilometers of the mediterranean coast line at a depth of at least twelve thousand meters. but the drilling mission is causing

friction with greece and it's set to reawaken tensions with cyprus the island of cyprus was supplied during your turkish military intervention in one thousand nine hundred seventy four triggered by a brief greek inspired coup it forced the mess displacement of people with greek cypriots now living in the south and turkish cypriots in the north turkey and international recognize greek cypriot government have overlapping claims of jurisdiction for offshore oil and gas research in the eastern mediterranean however experts say political differences could take a back seat when it comes to commercial benefits and even israelis are thinking of joining egypt to develop explored and export their yes so between when that is happening then between greece and turkey and the two parts that were sections of the island of cyprus the republic of cyprus and the turkish republic

with in cyprus i think they have to resolve their problems turkey stays its goal is energy independence and accelerated exploration is simply part of that plan another drilling vessel is set to be added to its exploration fleet by the end of this year seen him because although al-jazeera on saudia from under saddam is an oil analyst he says any confrontation in the mediterranean could be dangerous. turkey is determined to defend the rights of the turkish cypriots in the wealth of god has discovered it offshore cyprus they themselves have vested interests geopolitical interests and economy interest in looking for gas and oil in that area and also to counter any at thames by cyprus to explore for oil and gas and produce them

furthermore turkey is against or concede that is invalid the agri meant demarcation agreement mattie timed the market in agreement between cyber us and egypt so there is a lot of involvements that in terms of geopolitical involvements economy and military environments and we must remember that the third p. is sending its naval units to protect the drilling ship which means it could bring get into proximity with greek naval ships and we must remember that says nineteen seventy four the two countries have almost come to blows so it's a dangerous situation. political crisis is deepening with

allegations that politicians have been offered bribes to support the ousting of the prime minister ronna wickramasinghe says he's the legitimate pm despite being replaced by former president mahinda rajapaksa become a singer told on desire that democracy in the country is under threat but as with reports from the capital colombo. for the past week run away from a single has refused to leave the prime minister's official residence here in the capital it's become a symbol of legitimacy he tells me after being fired by the president in what critics are calling a constitutional two day the third. in the last presidential election parliament religion we came forward on the basis that parliament is supreme that the president must act according to the. their nineteen the amendment to the constitution was drafted on that basis now what has happened is the president is trying to override the power of the parliament present my three policy is say in

a swore in mahinda rajapakse as the new prime minister last friday rajapaksa was president for two terms and scrapped term limits of twenty fourteen to try and stay in power but then lost the election he called a year later rajapaksa says he's got enough support in parliament to confirm his position but m.p.'s can't quote because presidents are saying or suspended parliament why the delay you think in recalling palm and what they have in the number where the number because of parliament initially thought you think. we have the numbers here it. with we hear a lot of talk about persuading m.p.'s to join rajapaksa side how might they be persuaded what are you what are you hearing about what's going on with our founding member the ministry ships and sometimes money the speaker has warned of the risk of a bloodbath if this is allowed to continue do you share those views of the speaker

that there can be an appeal because people are getting to the granted by the we voted for parliament democracy we why we are for a different set up and all of sudden we find the even worth them two thousand forty eight and i am defending a principle and the fact that the made during the war. in two thousand and fifteen to a poor democracy and if you lead them down they're close to be i and a singer says it's that desire to uphold democracy that's brought him support from a wide a section of society than just his traditional support base prime minister witnessing that says he's staying put here at his official residence until parliament is recall it's believed mahinda rajapaksa only needs another five m.p.'s to switch to his side to give him the majority he needs in parliament to take over the prime minister's office the stakes are so high that one m.p. has told reporters he's been offered nearly three million u.s.

dollars in cash to switch to rajapaksa sign but it's an al-jazeera colomba. now the man who was considered the most powerful criminal in mexico will go on trial in the u.s. on monday walk in guzman was born into poverty in the mountains of sin a lower he rose through the ranks of organized crime amassing a fortune overseeing an illicit empire with links around the world as it was john holdren reports in the first of a three part series on the man known as el chapo. this is how the legend of mexico's most powerful criminal chapo ended a tired middle aged man bundled into exile in the u.s. and this is where it began in one thousand nine hundred full a cartel middleman who was caught on film for the first time walking gruesome and it just been put in a maximum security prison but it wouldn't hold him his first jail break legend has it was in a laundry basket. once he began climbing the criminal ladder to public enemy number

one he's seen a low a cartel had links all over the world he even made it on to the forbes rich a list it was a huge leap for someone who in a rolling stone interview said he grown up the poorest of the pool. from the time i was six until now my parents are very humble family very poor my mom made bread to support the family i would sell it i sold oranges soft drinks candy. how did i go from that to miss cruz told criminal we asked someone who'd known him for years. everyone was waiting for him to come home because then there would be a party with ten or twelve bands of musicians it was beautiful and he gave out gifts someone like and they'll chapel to a mix can rub in hood but there's another side to the business he and his sin a low a cartel dominated. by order to clean up plazas corrupt police and after i don't succeed or someone gets out of line they killed him that happens all over the world
