health there are many people who walk clinically sick and cannot get medicine but also because all increasing insecurity violence and in some cases persecution. there are 3 countries at the leading edge of this crisis peru ecuador you've mentioned colombia as well what did they need from the rest of the world. these countries have been so far showing almost generosity they have received literally millions of innocent refugees but that they cannot sustain this generosity and keep the borders open if they don't get more support from the international community this is crucial we cannot take these generals who granted this country's seeing their hospitals the schools that basic infrastructure overstretch because. huge influx refugees and migrants from that asylum and the rest of the international community needs to do more to help this country so when the border was originally

closed there was very quickly an evolution of a another a sub crisis if you will and it was this it was people smuggling gangs got involved and people because they wanted to get as far away understandably perhaps from venezuela as they possibly could ultimate destination mexico therefore the u.s. texas california border add those issues now been solved because the border is open or are those people still in operation. people are still crossing in an informal way from venezuela to colombia although the folder was only closed on the business when inside it for many months the borders land borders with colombia and brazil still people were cross the through of regular waste taking us through through forests little jungles group crossing rivers and taking huge risks in the process because of the landscape but also because of the presence of armed groups

of criminal elements that were preying on them that still at risk a little we welcome this development the fact that the border is not with usually open means that more people will be able to cross safely to go fishel border but there are still many people who because they don't have the right documents all because they simply find it. easier to cross in an informal way they will still be in these irregular paths mr spenlow this seems to be a growing consensus and it's this that if something about this crisis is not done if they don't find a solution to this this could become the syrian migrant crisis of latin america is that fanciful or is that potentially accurate. well if we just look at the figures we are not very far from that situation after the high point 6000000 syrian refugees the 2nd largest population of people displaced outside of the country in

the world is going to swell and so we estimate that if things continue the way they are the moment by the end of this year we will reach the 5000000 mark so we are not too far from from that sort of scenario this is very worrying we wished him to actually commit would pick not it's up to this situation and help the countries on the communities because in many cases if communities are. some of the poorest communities in the countries that are receiving the refugees the ones that are shouldering that biggest responsibility so it's crucial that more is done to help those communities so that they can continue to to to to receive refugees. they don't people don't suffer as a result of this continuing exodus when you spend thank you very much

thank you the mexican president under us lopez obrador has just descended a celebration run it's among the migration deal with the u.s. the suspended looming trade tariffs the event took place in the mexican town of tijuana close to the border with the states on friday mexico pledged to implement measures to stop illegal immigration into the united states which includes keeping asylum seekers in mexico while they claims for the u.s. being processed properly tam us. act we take advantage here to tell the american people once again that we don't harbor any intention to harm them and we are resolved in collaborating you know areas especially on the issue of migration to their country. manuel was at that rally. there is an atmosphere of celebration in the city of tijuana hundreds of people have come out to watch the mexican president give an address and celebration of

that agreement reached between the united states and mexico that managed to avoid tariffs imposed on mexican exports tariffs that could have reached as high as 25 percent over the course of the next few months of course you want to being a city so close to the united states border one question that continues to loom since that agreement was made is what will be the fate of the hundreds of central american asylum seekers who will now have to wait in mexico for their asylum cases to be process instead of otherwise being able to wait in the united states policy questions aside it seems as though people here are more interested in celebrating the agreement reached between the united states and mexico a lot of factory workers out here a lot of workers coming out here to show their support to show their gratitude to president the opposite what i thought for having reached that agreement with president. still to come here on the news for you. more protests in albania accusing the government of corruption and demanding the prime minister resign. voting is underway in kazakstan we find out why it's

police he was carrying. it is apartment but it's widely believed not only here not only among his colleagues and his closest friends but. that these charges are fabricated that it's basically a method to silence him because you have been doing some very lucid stories on corruption practices here in. my practice around capital so he also factors. sure that this deterrent is very much related to your work and that's also what a lot of people here think and it's not only a warning to him but also to another to a lot of other journalists of course this is happening right now well earlier i spoke to ivan culpa cos the editor in chief that's the only news outlets which i haven't gotten off work for he says the journalist anti corruption revelations and

his celebrity status seen as a threat by those who investigates. 5 years ago we have established i mean to say here in reagan but we have a lot of journalists based in moscow and you wonder what was one of our. being one of our most famous and prominent journalists is that an intern the drug addict or drug to you drug user he's the super famous russian mr gately gurneys probably right now he's the most famous russian nyssa gaited gurneys in the hermit's you know we are exhausted but we are more or less being because it was detained 3 days ago. and we've been waiting for the official arrests and the you know the trial the official arrests. just so we're empty they have decided not to put him in prison or rejoice you know resupplies that they going to imprison

him but they have decided to put him in their house or it's just like a small he war hero during his journeys community in russia it is a risk heart suit to guess why. you never get over it in the spray or are always developing their rate well you know also how are we know that that. actually the prosecution or our journalists started it goes that it's war as it is investigating we even you know we have a normal there isn't and who can be responsible for that and the week on discuss it right now because we just don't have enough proof for that but of course those people are connected to the authorities. the albanian president has canceled upcoming local elections citing the need to reduce political tensions earlier tens

of thousands of albanians gathered in the capital to run for another week of protests against the government now they accuse the prime minister and iran of electoral fraud and they're calling for an early general election he's denied any wrongdoing and is off the talks with his rivals john psaropoulos has more now from toronto. albania is now in a full blown constitutional crisis the protesters led by the opposition democratic party seem to have achieved one of their demands which was to get the june 30th local elections and the old councils that is something that the president of albania has delivered he has said that those elections shouldn't take place because they could not be fair and free and the 2nd goal that the democratic party is trying to achieve is to get prime minister of the socialist party leader to declare an early general election and not to serve out the remaining 2 years of his term in

office because he has been beset by a series of scandals which seem to indicate that many of his members of parliament have colluded with organized crime in order to get elected and this is now something that seems to be pervasive in the socialist party and it seems to permeate the way that it works therefore there's a question mark in the minds of many albanians about how. honestly legislative decisions are come by the opposition democratic party has also boycotted parliaments at the moment. is passing legislation that only his party supports and discusses and there isn't a full and proper legislative process so that also costs down on his legitimacy as a government voters in kazakhstan have started voting to choose their next president nursultan nazarbayev was in charge for 30 years before he stood down in

talk with the iranians is not really a true one it's not they does not what they actually mean they're not true to their words that they cannot be trusted the iranian oil minister has also been speaking on saturday saying that iran has absolutely no plans to leave opec and the gap that's been created in the oil markets by iran being not being able to sell all its oil on the international market can never actually be filled by any of the countries such as saudi arabia and the u.a.e. so he's also reiterating iran's position that all these sanctions they might put some pressure on the country but nobody can actually replace what they're trying to do. well the pressure from u.s. sanctions is having an effect on the iranian economy with export margins tight and best as attending to small and medium sized businesses like coffee shops that can still turn a profit zain as more from the iranian capital. in iran oil isn't the only source of energy suffering under american sanctions the threat of punishment
