on al-jazeera. play an important role in judging it when. ringback the u.s. death toll from covert 19 which is 400000 people a memorial is due to be held this hour for the victims it comes on president trumps the last full day in office as washington prepares for an inauguration day like no other. honor and tell if this is our 0 live from london also coming up brazil finally start shipping code 19 vaccines to menow us but it's too late for many people in the northern city. of a thai woman is jailed for

a record 43 years for insulting the case. hello donald trump's final hours in the white house have been marked by the u.s. reaching another sad milestone in the covert pandemic as he prepares to leave office snubbing the inauguration of joe biden on the way the nation's coronavirus death toll has passed 400000 the nation's 100000 deaths coming since december the 14th or trump has released a final video statement praising his presidency and in the coming hours we're expecting to see a string of pardons announced security is tight in the heart of washington d.c. to prevent scenes similar to those witnessed at the capitol 2 weeks ago 12 national guardsman have been removed from duty 2 of them because of suspected links to far right groups. let's start with the coronavirus situation in the u.s.

and again i joins us live from miami florida and it's an extraordinary numbers and it really isn't in the last few minutes lauren president trump has announced he's given commendations to the entire speech team but if you look at how we got to this point 400000 people dead 400000 americans that's about the same number that died in world war 2 we've had a completely failed federal response in terms of ministration never put a joined up plan into place but it's not just on them the states failed to put mask mandates in place because of course it became a political issue and over the last year we've had so much dissin from ation that people are simply lost as to how to tackle and deal with this pandemic so here we are at this point where last month we had 300000 deaths and it only took a month to get 240-0000 let's see what this pandemic is doing to this nation and what the future might hold. california in the time of the corona virus

a state hit so hard that bodies are being moved to temporary storage containers. newly confirmed cases arising at a dizzying rate despite lockdown restrictions now health experts are warning that a more contagious variant 1st discovered in the u.k. could feel another wrenching surge of cases and deaths could and likely will get worse in the next couple of weeks or at least maintain this very terribly high level of infections and deaths that we're seeing vaccinations are rolling out albeit too slowly but the u.s. is nowhere close to reaching herd immunity. however coverage of how they talk about the fact is covered covered president donald trump continually play down the pandemic politicize the wearing of masks and blame states for moving too slowly now with his presidency in its final days it's trump who is being blamed for failing to

act and allow the virus to spread so fast in may the u.s. recorded 100000 deaths by september that figure doubled now it's doubled again with the new administration promising to ramp up vaccinations to a level it is so far come nowhere near close to what was promised. for many 2021 was a year that would bring renewed hope instead new cases threaten to cripple already overwhelmed hospitals claymore lives and leave many wondering when this nation will turn the corner. all of this of course coming on the eve of president is like biden's an organization that will be a fresh administration on january the 20th something that should bring new hope to people because joe biden said he will tackle this coronavirus aggressively get 100000000 people vaccinated in the 1st 100 days but an incoming doctor part of the new by the administration is just warned by this time next month the death toll

could could go from 400002500000 so dark days ahead indeed for the united states and again i thank you very much indeed for as mentioned incoming u.s. president joe biden says combating the twin threat of climate 19 and the sinking economy will be his top priority at biden led to the oval office at a time when the u.s. death rate is at its highest point since the pandemic began and when millions of americans are struggling to put food on the table alan fischer fought in the white house. our rescue and recovery plan is a path forward with both seriousness of purpose and a clear plan. january 20th is an important date in 2020 it was the day that the 1st covert case was confound in the us the chump administration has been criticized for sure sponsor over the past 12 months no on the 20th of january 2021 the problem becomes joe biden's this horse is so far

out of the board there really directing it is going to be heard yulian task and we need to give the new administration and the new president i think a significant amount of leeway in trying to redirect the ship redirect this horse biden has already indicated he wants a $1.00 trillion dollar relief bill more money for ordinary americans to get through the economic crisis more money for vaccinations he wants 100000000 vaccines administered in his 1st 100 days and much greater federal involvement in putting it all together this is one of the most challenging operational efforts we have ever undertaken as a nation will have to move heaven and earth to get more people vaccinated to create more places for them to get vaccinated yes. i think it's a plan that doesn't come with a potential political fallout i think you're going to see more and more people dug

in suggesting that somehow because you have an illegitimate president now attempting to infringe upon our freedoms people are going to become increasingly dug in to through war what the policy changes this new this incoming president is going to try to employment joe biden has said is his number one priority insists the reaction will be driven by science not politics something welcomed by those on the medical front lines. joe biden is going to look like a rock star by simply embracing what the best science says there are polls and experts that see if donald trump are taking coronavirus seriously from day one through an resources at it rather than plead it down he'd be about to start his 2nd term in office how the incoming administration marshall's the recovery will go a long way to deciding how history remembers president joe biden alan fischer

al-jazeera at the white house president elect joe biden has flown to washington to be sworn in as the 46th president of the united states before departing his hometown of wilmington delaware he gave an emotional speech. and here we are today my family and i are about to return to washington to meet a black woman a south asian descent to be sworn in as president and vice president of the united states. has a job on that station waiting for brock and hunter i said no actually i said don't tell me things can't change they can and they do that's america. yes republican senator josh horney says he will block the quick consideration of biden's nominee as homeland security secretary on the eve of biden's inauguration the senate has reconvened to start confirmation hearings for 5 of his cabinet nominees a facing questions from the senate committee members as they consider their respective

roles odan is likely to take office on wednesday without key members of his cabinet in place how does your castro bring us more on that in a moment and we'll hear from the new a rapper who is out on the streets of washington but 1st let's talk to john hendren and john president trump has released a video message talking sports through what's in it. that's right that message was as you might expect heavily self-congratulatory talking about the medical miracle in his words that the u.s. performed on covert 19 that of course is dramatically different than what a lot of people including the incoming administration believe happened here. but he also was relatively gracious ignalina bad as a new administration was going to come in without ever naming joe biden of course and wishing them luck he went on to say that this movement that he had started

has only just begun that was rather an ominous note there because it suggests he might be holding rallies might be continuing to try to lead the republican party as he exits office of course without taking the ceremonial moment with joe biden he's leaving before all of that happens tomorrow so trump essentially gave a message it was more gracious than we perhaps had expected but it was truly trumpy and in this sense that he never really acknowledged joe biden by name here's a little of what he had to say my fellow americans 4 years ago we launched a great national effort to rebuild our country to renew its spirit and to restore the allegiance of this government to its citizens in short we embarked on a mission to make america great again for all americans as i could glued my term

as the 45th president of the united states i stand before you truly proud of what we have achieved together. we did what we came here to do and so much more this week we had all grade a new administration and pray for its success in keeping america safe and prosperous and biden has just arrived in washington d.c. what can we expect. what i think we can expect what we've seen from joe biden up till now a dramatic contrast between administrations perhaps as dramatic as we have ever seen this will be on the lincoln memorial he will be with his vice presidential partner harris and i we can expect him to acknowledge that overnight the u.s. number of deaths has crossed the 400000 mark that's another grim milestone we can

expect some somber talk i think about how things might have gone better had we done different things here in order to combat the big over 1000 epidemic pandemic and then i think we can expect him to talk about the things that his administration is going to do a mask a mandate on federal property accelerating the vaccinations of americans he's got his goal of 100000 shots by is 100th day and just what he wants to do after that pandemic is under control and i think we can also expect some words of warning that that pandemic is not nearly under control right now we are still seeing 911 levels of deaths on a daily basis that 3000 and so a somber message but also we expect him to end with a bit of an uplifting note on what his administration can achieve after this come 100 thank you very much. from capitol hill the senate has

a raft of confirmation hearings to deal with. well this is quite the last minute rush lauren and that's partly because of just law just tickle issues also partly because of the partisan gridlock but we had 5 biden nominees for his his cabinet here on capitol hill testifying before a various senate committees today 2 individuals who began testifying this afternoon are his picks for secretary of state and secretary of defense now and tony blinken is the nominee for secretary of state he's a well known name in the diplomatic circles here he worked as an under secretary of state assistant secretary of state under obama he is expected to be confirmed is a question of how quickly that can be done though today in his testimony he said that he is dedicating to renewing american leadership abroad that american

leadership still matters and he has to take on the task of rebuilding faith and trust among american allies after the trump presidency he also said that china no doubt poses the greatest challenge of any nation state to the u.s. and he said that he would be he would remove u.s. support from the saudi led war in yemen again this is somebody that is widely respected on capitol hill likely nominee to be quickly confirmed now for department of defense lloyd austin is president like biden's pick this is a 4 star general who will be the 1st african-american to leave the department of defense if confirmed he is also very popular here supported by members of both parties however he has the additional hurdle of. requiring a congressional waiver because he has only been out of uniform for about 4

years and federal law says that because the department of defense my. speace civilian lead at the top leadership has to be at least 7 years out a uniform so austin is expected to be confirmed as well but that may be a little later which leaves us with president elect joe biden taking office tomorrow likely with with many missing confirmed secretary perhaps no confirmed secretaries on his cabinet and how do you how you get these hearings of course is the issue of impeachment why did we start with that that's right today notably was the 1st time that the full senate was in session since january 6th the day that the violent mob stormed the capitol building and we heard remarks from majority leader mitch mcconnell the top republican there who notably broke from his support for the president you'll remember the last time trump was impeached mcconnell was

the leader who said there was no way that trump would be convicted will today on the floor he laid some of the blame pointedly at trump's feet. on the senate convened we are just reclaim the capitol from violent criminals who tried to stop congress from doing our duty. the mob was. they were provoked by the president and other powerful people and they tried to use fear and violence should stop a specific proceeding of the 1st branch of the federal government which they did not like but we pressed on we stood together and said iraq would not get the job over the rule of law in our nation. so looking forward while see sort of a split personality on the senate where likely half of the day would be dedicated

to this impeachment trial still waiting to hear exactly when that would commence and the other half of the day the senate would push forward with the continuation of this confirmation process as well as the rest of joe biden's agenda. thank you very much indeed head to biden's inauguration the pentagon says about a dozen national guard members have been relieved of duty after being vetted we have 2 individuals identified had made inappropriate comments or turk's those 2 individuals were removed one of those was flagged by 5 within the command and then we have a group of individuals that have been flagged in the vetting process for a number of different reasons like i said unrelated to the events here in the concerns. and your effort is live from downtown washington d.c. and tell us about the mood on the streets there. well we're just starting to lose the daylight hours here but the mood remains as call me as it's been all

day as calm as it's been of for the last few days here ahead of the presidential inauguration just to give you a sense of where we are we're in downtown d.c. just a few short blocks from the u.s. capitol where we are specifically is just outside of the secure perimeter and this is one of many many checkpoints in washington d.c. set up by the u.s. army national guard and there are $25000.00 deployed troops here in the city nearly every single block in a perimeter around the national mall and the capitol hill area looks just about like it does here where we are indeed in downtown washington the number one priority of the u.s. national guard of d.c. police of the secret service is to make sure that the capitol is secure they do not want to repeat of what happened the violent actions that took place on january 6th on capitol hill and now there has been this concern as we heard from the pentagon spokesperson just a few seconds ago conserv from the department of defense of a quote unquote inside

a tag it's the reason that so many of these national guardsmen are being vetted for any potential ties that they might have to any extremist groups any ties that they might have to the white supremacist organizations early on tuesday there was confirmation that 2 individuals 2 members of the national guard had been removed from their men from their mission to guard the presidential inauguration on wednesday now at the end of the day tuesday we can confirm that it's at least 12 members of the national guard that have been relieved we don't believe that this has anything to do with any potential plot against president elect joe biden this from as we've heard from u.s. department of defense officials is out of an abundance of caution but again this secure perimeter continues to change every day appears to be getting a little bit bigger a little bit different that's part of the plan every day we're hearing of new street closures here in washington d.c. but as we've seen throughout the course of the day and throughout the course of the last few days the mood still. very common interest of patients for the presidential inauguration always there when you're

a thank you very much. more still to come this hour. i gotta take some migrants back to honduras after breaking up their caravan but others are still determined to reach the u.s. . italy's prime minister wins a confidence vote in the upper house which threatened to bring down his government . that's less than day left of donald trump's presidency but the suffering will go on for hundreds of children taken from their parents on his immigration policy the family separation policy or 0 tolerance as it was known was introduced in april 28th there was such a public backlash that truck reversed the order just 2 months later but more than $3000.00 migrant children including infants had already been taken from their parents only us mexico border subsequent investigations found family separations

had been happening a year before it was publicly announced with thousands of children removed from their families many families are still separated a court appointed committee has been unable to find the parents of 628 separated children last week trumpeters russian official rob rosenstein you helped establish 0 tolerance described it as a failed policy that should never have been proposed or in for meant it when he gallant is the deputy director of a.c.l.u. immigrants rights project he joins me now via skype from new york city thanks very much indeed for being with us so can you expect as the kind of the numbers of people who still haven't been reunited. yes the what we now know is that more than $5500.00 chill if you were separated under it at that particular babies only 6 months all we have been searching for the families for a long time we still have not found the parents of what were 600 children because

the government in school at their names so late in the litigation and because the government has not given us contact information that till very recently for these families so we are searching all over central america all over the world in fact for at least 3 these were remaining 600 families but beyond the 600 many many more remain separated because of the truck administration even after we are our families but not the parents come back to the united states to reunite with their children and the other thing i would say is even after we reunite these families there were 6 weeks seated trauma caused by the a few supreme separation that we need to get how quickly specialized medical trauma . mean that some children actually still their parents had abandoned them so it's pretty traumatic experience. because what happened was these little children who were screaming and begging please don't let me take please don't let me be taken

away by my parents and many times the parents had to stand there out with slate's other children or most believe that the parents didn't want repeated too young to understand the parents can stop what's happening so the trauma is just so deep seated and what we're looking for from the fire to get a spirit is that a core principle things one is to allow the families who are already come back to the united states be reunited in the united states the 2nd is that contrary to what the truck ministration it is to stop there before taishan that give them some type of legal status given what they've been through which there is some type of victims 5 that will provide basic theory of the including better. trama and the forest simply to ensure that this never ever. and to look into why i mean they've also said that they're going to have a time have a task force to identify the missing parents and so on but in the meantime what

what actually happened to that to the children who's looking after them and where are they in the system. so what happened was they were there for significant time they're now been released and released to their relatives and you know sometimes. when they're needed there are no no and sometimes foster families we're talking little babies and they'd be. even if there were rather to be going to close relatives that's obviously not a substitute. thank you very much indeed for taking time to thank you. and i take you straight to to washington d.c. present that to joe biden and vice president elect to come a harris presiding over a national memorial in washington d.c. for the 400000 americans who have died because of the current haase pandemic and this is on the roll that said just listening we are all united in the sorrow that

we recognize today we pray for those who have died and the families and loved ones that they left behind we do not we do so not a strangers or disinterested persons but as fellow citizens who share some limited portion of their grief and sorrow. we pray for the cult lists families and relatives who have to say who had to surrender their loved ones without the comfort and the consolation of a familiar funeral ritual according to their religious traditions or selections that privation only added to the sadness engendered by the death of a friend a relative or

a colleague may our prayer this evening service a small expression of our national desire to comfort and strengthen those who have endured the loss of a loved one to this pandemic and made be a resoundingly just pure of gratitude for all those who have cared for the victims of this virus and their loved ones our sorrow unites us to one another as a single people with compassionate hearts may our prayers strengthen our awareness of our common humanity and our national unity at a time when harmony is a balm that seeks to comfort and strengthen us as a single people facing

a common threat that is no respect or of age race culture or gender let us with one heart commend those who have died from this virus and all of their loved ones to the providential care of the. who is the ultimate source of peace unity and concord a man. we're .

watching. in washington d.c. with president elect joe biden. and vice president that come to commemorate those who lost their lives in the pandemic this mission into coming to harass him tonight and nation in mourning to pay tribute to the lives we have lost a grandmother or grandfather who was our whole world a parent partner sibling or friend who we still cannot accept is no longer here. and for many months we have grieved by ourselves. tonight we grieve and begin healing together that we may be physically separated we the american people are united in spirit. and my abiding hope my abiding prayer is that we

emerge from this ordeal with a new wisdom. to cherish simple moments. to imagine new possibilities and to open our hearts just a little bit more to one another. it is now my great honor to introduce lori marie key laurie is a nurse at st mary mercy lavani a hospital outside of detroit her community was hit hard when the virus struck and lori was assigned to the covert unit lori is known for singing on the hospital floor and a video of her singing is certainly him inspired our nation she joins us this evening to honor those we have lost with that same hymn amazing grace.

thank you so much vice president elect harris is an honor to be here with you and with president elect biden. working as a cove it was heartbreaking it's heartbreaking for the patients who were sick it was heartbreaking for the families who couldn't be there with them and it was heartbreaking for those caring for them but when i'm at work i think it gives me strength during difficult times and i believe it helps heal so here is amazing grace. 0. 0. they. love. each.

well. yes but how c. but. see the low. oh my. oh oh so. was. mr. end 6. he.

in all of. us. oh. thank you laurie. the sender's eminence you were in command and i mean this from the bottom my heart. for any angels in heaven they're all nurses we know from our family experience which you do the courage the pain you absorb for others to thank you thank you your eminence corner grocery.

items. to heal. we must remember. it's hard sometimes to remember. but that's how we heal. it's important to do that as a nation. that's why we're here today between sundown and dusk but are shy and the lights the darkness along the sacred pull of the selection remember all we lost.

there was the secret call. that day in the play then it please the low but huge oh really care for you do here. it goes like this the float the thing the mind of poet and the man made to live. the baffled kidding. how little you know. oh her. home her. home. i know all that is a go out above and all over learn from love is how to shoot someone who drew me. it's not

a cry hear it now it's not some oh no same. night it's a co-ordinates a. c 6 c. 6 c.

could be watching a ceremony at the lincoln memorial there for the 400000 american lives lost during the code 19 pandemic and we heard from. there the president the vice president elect that it was a time to begin healing together. that the american people are united in spirit

this time and from. president elect biden at to here we must remember and it's hard to remember and we also had to performance from an. amazing grace that says speak to john hendren in washington d.c. so a solemn moment for america. and 840-0000 lives lost. a solemn moment a simple moment and a very short moment and i don't know about everyone else but i was expecting to hear a little more but this was a moment to remember the 400000 people who have died here in the united states and the message of joe biden is clearly that things are in different hands things are in capable hands and it's going to be all right. we can expect him to continue to talk about the hurdles yet to come huge numbers of people dying every day here in

the united states but there what you saw was a dramatic contrast to the trumpet ministration because he acknowledged the pain that has happened in this country were as the president trump has always under played the pandemic initially saying it was just going to disappear like magic and then constantly downplaying the numbers at one point saying that we should be doing less testing because it drives those numbers up and pretty much ignoring the reality that this is a pandemic that has gotten worse and worse here in the united states and now that people are being vaccinated but that is turning itself around but this was a somber ceremony to announce i think to the country that president biden would take a very different approach that this would be a top priority for him something he's going to talk about all the time and something that we can see by example with the social distancing the 2 masks that vice president biden generally wears when he's not actually speaking so this was an

announcement to america that things. those are still challenging but they're going to be ok and joan knows the some of the practical measures that biden has already promised such as the mosque wearing plans for on federal property and so on and the spending proposal how how difficult will that be to to push through. well he's got a democratic majority in the house and will have effectively a majority as in the senate there's actually it's going to be a 5050 senate but come away harris as president of the senate we'll be able to break those ties so it may be like early in the obama administration where he was able to achieve some of his biggest goals and there is consensus in the congress that there hasn't been enough done when it comes to. spending on covert relief there that the republicans have been reluctant to spend as much as the

democrats want to spend that's where the obstacle is going to be when it comes to code relief for individuals for businesses but. joe biden right now has the effective majority that he will need or will soon have that majority in the congress and he's likely to be able to achieve perhaps the most he will be able to achieve in his administration right away and the reason i support it that way is that 2 years after a president is elected generally his party loses seats in congress so biden is going to have to move quickly and he's going to have to keep the democrats together but there is a consensus that not enough has been done and if he can move a few republicans over to his side then he will be able to achieve that 100 thank you very much indeed. brazil has just reported another 62000 cases and 1192 new deaths well this is the country starts its nationwide coronavirus

inoculation program after weeks of setbacks people demand now it's the gateway to the amazon rain forest vaccines can't come soon enough the health system there is on the verge of collapse and oxygen supplies a dwindling monica janek if is that. the war room was set up in a warehouse where millions of coded 1000 vaccines had been stored on monday health minister. gave governors the order to distribute them throughout brazil. this is the 1st step towards the largest vaccination campaign in the world this is our mission in the world. but for many families in the northern city of my mouse on the edge of the amazon rain forest the order comes too late. struggled all week to keep her husband alive in the hospital ran out of oxygen

moses what do before doug solution i tried buying an oxygen cylinder but couldn't find one he died because he had no air do you know what it means for a person to try to breathe and not to be able to to beg for and suffocate he had so many projects for the future now he's gone. in one hour we witnessed 3 burials one after the other by now as had been hard hit by the pandemic in april and quick to recover to a point that some scientists believed people here had achieved herd immunity the violence of the 2nd wave took them by surprise. this is more than a wave it's a tsunami before the pandemic there were 30 funerals a day during the 1st wave we had $100.00 burials now we have more than $200.00 it's as if we are at war. scientists believe 2 mutated versions of the corona virus

discovered in man hours have found better ways to pierce the immune system but that is not all so probably what's going on. is news stream. of course if you have more words more of those miserable. little lesion beds look a very here a little wary musts liberation going to be aired in man hours people watched on television the vaccines being loaded on military planes cook may be in the air but so is much of brazil's immunization program brazil was counting on 8000000 doses to kick off its national immunization program but it's still 2000000 doses short and political infighting continues making the hard task of vaccinating latin america's largest country even more difficult meineke anarky of all just era my mouse.

the u.s. has the largest number of coronavirus deaths followed by brazil but it's actually the u.k. that has the worst death rate it's reported its worst daily death toll at $1610.00 the website our world and data shows the u.k. reporting an average of $16.00 deaths per 1000000 people every day start a higher than the czech republic on $16.00 sweden a 6th worst on 12.59 deaths the u.s. is 13th on the list with just over 10 deaths per 1000000 people just beneath germany. germany's national lockdown has been extended by 2 weeks until mid february the measures were agreed aftermath and talks between chancellor angela merkel and the country's 16 state leaders most shops and schools will remain closed until february 14th and employees must be allowed to work from home until mid march infections have been decreasing across germany but health officials are concerned

about new variants of the virus spreading its nice prime minister does it become to has won a crucial vote of confidence in parliament's upper house it was triggered after the former prime minister matteo renzi pulled his party from qantas coalition last week over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic a defeat would have forced him to resign throwing the country into political chaos in the midst of a pandemic going to appeal to senators before the vote defending his leadership through the crisis. we mediately took up the challenge of transforming difficulties into port unities aware of the structural deficiencies of our country we laid the foundations for the site super launch of growth creating an environment more fiber a goal for private investment more inclined to research and innovation focusing the construction and strengthening of the skills. stephanie decker has more from rome. it took 13 hours of debate until the senate came to

a vote that vote has now been cost and prime minister jeff condit has won both votes the $1.00 in the lower house on monday that was always pretty much more expected but on choose day it was more of a difficult task however he comes out with what's called a simple majority far less of a majority than he had before and that of course is a challenge as he brings this country forward and certainly for many a times watching this watching the back and forth over the past couple of weeks for them most people you speak to say the timing couldn't be worse and they're very past. it wasn't the time to open this crisis we're already in a crisis with the virus and now you had this it's not the right time. to do this you know i think it was the right time to open a crisis now because in difficult moments you need a strong government and this government is not of the end you know. we should see how any other governments would have behaved during these times personally i don't

think. anyone else would have done this doesn't mean that things are any more plain sailing going forward because of the numbers and this is a numbers game it means that any legislation the prime minister wants to paulse will need to be a lot of negotiating with different parties and certainly at a time when it's really is facing its worst economic crisis since world war 2 it needs to approve and allocate over 200000000000 euros of european money this of course is part of why this crisis came about and why might they what n.z. pulled his cabinet ministers out of the government causing this crisis even though interesting enough he abstained today and his party ministers abstained they didn't actually go actively against. this is why a lot of people would also say there's a lot of power politics at play and certainly at a time when this country needs at least the concern is that this emerges as a weaker government than it was before at a time when it needs a strong hand to tackle incredibly difficult issues. guatemala says it's

transporting thousands of migrants back to the border with honduras after they were blocked on their way to the u.s. about 2000 people were cleared from the village in eastern what tomorrow on monday as they try to advance towards the border with mexico and he's used tear gas and batons to stop the crowds moving forward some fled into the mountains saying they didn't want to board buses back home to home has more from mexico city. and now more than half of the people of this caravan which guatemalan dorothy said was about $6000.00 people so that would make it one of the biggest caravans since this phenomenon began have returned back home don dura so they get that far and 45 kilometers into guatemala before they were stopped by the police president trump obviously has had this sort of plan to almost externalized the border wall of the united states to make mexico really up its security to stop people getting through and guatemala as well joe biden what he said is that we have to stop this source we

have to stop people having to leave honduras el salvador guatemala countries suffering from a lot of violence and a lot of poverty especially after through november storms that really left parts of central america devastated so his place $4000000000.00 he said that money's going to come out of what the trump the ministration was doing to try and detain people in the u.s. he's going to instead try to redirect some of that money to try and improve conditions for people the rule of law the economic situation back in their home countries. still to come this hour tens of thousands of people are evacuated from their homes in indonesia's south kind of montana province after the region's worst flooding in 50 years.
