thought of that. they were among the first to join the caravan as they walked across central america thousands joined the whole believing there is safety in numbers. i was alive and i love. yes you being a single down you. know who's twenty one is carrying the child last i moved here only a month from the last half hour with me. now to move our capital somewhere. it is hard to get by the enormity of what we're saying here because there are literally thousands of people who want more than sixteen hundred kilometers to get here and this is the first place they have been worried about the role of the no all the way with the young girls had to be fearful of being right and it's a brief response because if they continue to go north of the first say they will

the markets will that thousand kilometers to the us border with thousands of combat troops being sent to stop them but that's a risk they're prepared to take just the chance of security for themselves and the chill is also. one of the most determined travelers we meet is miriam so while she's persuaded the local woman to let two kids stay. in the. miriam's also looking to see a nineteen year old solar traveller who she met on the rug said yes he got on a family book of the admin thing and on the north west branch had a hand on his mouth you're going to find the time of the mass in the back commercial no seahorse on the. floor. when you move up ways you can apply to see.

a band of snow you know one of the. tatiana packs up the kids. so you. do not believe the labor of. a family that he has. also in your but i'll let you know. last. as welcoming as the city authorities have been they came for the caravan to. organizing two trains to get them out before dawn. to avoid the worst bad areas they'll head to the pacific a journey almost three times longer than the direct route no from. the air.

two weeks later we arrive at the border where the caravans are converging. and. oh. a show of force for migrants hoping to reduce the other side. to one already has a lot of swords steel slats and mental fences are all would stand between mexico and the beaches of san diego.

the migrants wait in filthy camps as military helicopters hovering above. the mining area east bank just pulled by all they can say america through the cracks in the pool. as. we've heard nothing from the people we met in vera cruz in mexico city but among the thousands of migrants here we still have to find them. it's a scandal it's the familiar. that's obvious don't. we spend days looking for them without success. process and the. locals are growing resentful of the cost of the migrants and suspicious of who's

amongst them. one as used to receive people from. countries. like these where you are not been found some people have one time. i don't. here it is he's ready ready to receive the title among the people here the tension in this border town has grown. because. bruce. we look out into you want to have heard our friends maybe in another town. driveway driving two hundred kilometers. a lot of people from the arab. league would. be on a site. being gone mad that they made the bed of bed and the

mood in this small town is more relaxed and we find the salvadoran boys daniel and victor. danielle here back. when i. was pretty you. know. this staying in a vacant lot where almost everyone is ill and winter is making everything worse today i'm all the more for how i'm going to. college sure that. they might. feel. me you know. with no family here is out of money and the boys cock out and they have no choice but to wait.

ok so we're just trying to find cindy who is the young woman who is travelling on her own and had met miriam with the two young girl's family something very bad has happened to mary not quite sure but we're going to try to. since we last. saw miriam in mexico city she's become an unlikely eight figure into your world of foreign media film to complaining about the food your second if i cycle in the comment i want that and the fight is our. only understand and lucky for me that my mommy don't have to stand by me. even put up the only money almost like if i don't get to be in and under the command i will tend to the clear winner barrooms prompting thousands of angry comments about ungrateful migrants and miriam disappeared.

as u.s. soldiers lay a razor wire front of us cindy tells us some extraordinary news we feared miriam might be dead instead she's in texas. a after causing harm in his telomere. even u.s. authorities took the social media threats against her seriously and granted asylum not to me and my name is i know my deal means i am many people who have to do to me . go you. know and more. on our last day of filming we return to geo water to make one more attempt to find judge iana and ruben. but we've finally found someone who thinks they know where they are apparently just around the corner so because most. we have a found the groove or go or star scope and the passion. this staying

inside a locked hostel that we're not allowed to enter. the girls a world attached yard has had a political. point of the border she was separated from the family why. that would change the incentives sending troops into. this then what you hand there when going to help is in the day on the up we want to allow an encounter i guess so in order. to. yes we are more with the local. market a live band a lot of going against the whole of the tent i mean. to get less. now so close to the border this gate to even approach it some migrants have tried to scale the fence and being tear gassed and sent back home they telling. you which i'm picking up as long why don't you just have nothing in my you can live

. on if it. turns you on and ruben face months in limbo processing for asylum has been deliberately slugged but i've been easy for this you only think of milk them important. you place a weapon on the messy whichever place to put on but i would if that were thank you but up already and i see no other hand over me. donald trump threatened state of emergency may not get you. in any case barry is like this haven't stopped millions chasing the american dream. and more caravans are on their way.

they said what do you think of waterboarding i said i think we absolutely need it we should have an adequate attack which it out for people who investigates the private companies and rural towns allegedly complicit in the illegal use of torture under interrogation. not a few. who can make the sunshine rendition visited. on al-jazeera business updates brought to you by qatar. going places together.

business updates brought to you by qatar. going places together third. third twenty five often. they become.

defendants. preparing for the possibility of. a witness documentary on al-jazeera. this is zero. zero zero how long he and this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes desperate for help thousands of people still stranded and more than two hundred dead a week after a cycle in it i hit mozambique plus. i think it's

a step on the right direction new zealanders welcome tougher gun laws introduced just days after friday's mosque attacks also. it is high time we made the decision to resume a blames members of parliament for the bricks at dili as she heads to brussels to get an extension from the e.u. and putting on a show thailand's young voters are hoping to shake up the election. a devastating storm is affecting tens of thousands of people across southern africa cycle in it i began as a tropical storm earlier last week before intensifying off the western coast of madagascar that hit mozambique on thursday with winds of up to one hundred and seventy kilometers an hour pounding the city of beirut it then moves inland causing

further destruction through the weekends and tract westwards striking neighboring zimbabwe malawi also experienced severe rain flooding and damage from high winds flattened buildings and put millions of lives at risk. now rescue workers in mozambique are struggling to reach cycling victims traps in flooded areas around fifteen thousand people still need rescuing hundreds of them have been stuck on rooftops and trees for more than three days cycling has left a trail of destruction across southern africa where the three hundred people are known to have died but that number is likely to be much higher now when a moment's we'll go to malcolm webb who's in the city of thing in mozambique but first this reports from farmer the miller in the port city of beirut. the roofs of buildings. that's all that's left of this town.

almost a week ago. province it's not known how many people made it out safely. on stagnant water lies across the horizon on an isolated piece of dry land rescue workers drop off desperately needed food hundreds of people queue for what could be their only meal in days. to die. i. was. like. as we fly further we see what was once a sports ground now a temporary shelter for hundreds of people who are stranded sit wait and sleep on a back to grandstand a short group preview from floodwaters. patient

this woman is pregnant and needs medical help as quickly as possible. between. maybe her. initial concern about how cycle of die would impact central mozambique. it's been replaced by a real bill widespread flooding a growing number of deaths and the displacement of thousands of people this is just one rescue of what aid agencies say could be thousands. al-jazeera boozy muslim peak. on malcolm web joins me now live from. mozambique malcolm we can see this being lord scale infrastructure damage just talk us through the scale of the destruction you see what we can see here which is a bridge severely damaged when the rental rain like clone brought cause the rivers

as well this river just a few days ago was above the water levels above where i'm standing now so it's really damaged this bridge and took out a whole section on the far side so people have got it on both sides and vehicles people are managing to cross by climbing up and down the pillars on the bridge with the help of a cable and then scrambling across it's not very safe but people really need to get around to find out if their relatives have survived because there's no phone communications and also to get food to people who are stuck in isolated on the other side and this picture is a. similar story throughout the whole of central mozambique we travelled along that road yesterday we got across several bridges that were broken like this and so that reduced the whole of the central region into a series of islands in which there are many people in need people whose homes were flooded crops were destroyed people do need food and now no road access to get emergency support to them or humanitarian aid so that we waiting to get help by.

those that infrastructure damage is surely going to hamper rescue efforts what kind of impact is it hunting and how are people holding up given the circumstances. when we were traveling through the. other side of that district yesterday we passed villages that was still completely there was water covering all of the ground people were sheltering on the raised road because it was the only place that was on the water homes were destroyed crops completely destroyed people were sheltering from the rain on the need parasols that was all they had to do it desperately needed shelter desperately needed food it rescued whatever they could from their homes or trying to dry some things out on the tarmac but that was very difficult because when the rains keep coming back again and again. here and also in the low lying districts the plains towards the sea there are a lot of people in great need of well those need to rescuing who are stranded others in need of food and of course you can't take
