impoverished communities have received billions of dollars in aid from the united states over the years. money aimed at improving economic conditions and discouraging migration from the country. despite these efforts, poverty has only worse and he sees sup and janet than mingles. an expert on economic development says the solution isn't as simple as pouring more money of the problem. one of those on the sell by the truth is the united states is the country that provides the most support to what model in the 3 countries of northern central america. the problem is that no international cooperation is going to substitute the need to establish functional public institutions for the development of democracy. that is a task that is ultimately up to the guatemalan government. though some critics argue that international aid has fallen short of creating true economic stability. it doesn't mean that development projects have failed from this central water tank . 95 percent of homes in 5 different indigenous communities now have access to clean water. the hope of development workers is that projects like these can be

8:11 pm
migration from central america are very different to those policies of biden's predecessor, donald trump. but as you saw from our report, the overwhelming analysis that we're getting from development experts is that unless the guatemalan government itself steps up and does more to ensure that economic stability is a number one priority to ensure that democratic institution ality doesn't lose its legitimacy. there is no amount of foreign aid that is going to fix truly fix the problems facing central american countries. as kimberly mentioned, countries like water malo salvador in honduras, and really dissuade people from wanting to leave their homes in the 1st place. ok, thank you so much. my rapid reporting from guatemala mexico border still ahead on al jazeera israel's parliamentary vote on a new coalition government that would see prime minister benjamin netanyahu, seated by one of his former ally and find out why the chinese government is walking social media accounts linked to the crypto currency bitcoin

delhi, all the gap the 3 peruse to presidential candidates has narrowed to just a few 1000 votes. conservative cases, marie holds a slim majority, but most of the stand the votes are due to come from rural areas which tend to favor less heddrick history. you. the results to me, today's of uncertainty and tension. israel's parliament's will vote on whether to approve a new government by june. the 14th the speaker of the can assets hold. members, the session will be held in the next 7 days. they'll vote on a cross party coalition. lead by necessarily, bennett. it brings together 8 parties from across the political spectrum. they want to unseat prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who's been in power for 12 years. harry faucet is in western limb and says, a lot will depend on when the vote takes place. that's what everyone was waiting to hear from the nation. yahoo, ally, who is the speaker of these are the parliament the connect it? would it happen on wednesday?
8:22 pm
the earliest reasonable data could happen or would it be right up until the deadline next monday. the 14th. well, he didn't say he said that it would happen sometime by that monday. so that leaves his and by extension that and you know, his options open to try to call the vote at the most suitable time. there is a big operation by ness and yahoo and his party and his allies more broadly to try to splinter away at the coalition as it's trying to form up there is one, suppose it weak link as far as they're concerned in the party of natalie bennett, who would be the 1st prime minister in a rotational deal? his you mean a party, but that member near or near or back has apparently, according to one report, said to his friends that he intends to vote with the change block. and he has been on the extreme pressure both publicly and also on in terms of social media, even up to the point of death threats. and that kind of atmosphere is something
8:23 pm
that the opposition leader. yeah, i la pied, he referenced in his remarks earlier on monday. i mean mahoney in these past few days proves just how much we need change. it's a leadership uses violence and incitement against connected members against their children, against the very essence of the democratic process. and then we need change if our political culture is based on live and the threat and hatred of arrows and hatred of left wingers and hatred of right. wingers who don't hate arabs and left with nothing. yes. we need change when we've brought change. we've brought about change and we're proud of in so jala paid their referencing the kind of tensions within the israeli political class. but of course there are more broad tensions security tensions as particularly around jerusalem. and in the aftermath of the conflict between israel and hamas in gaza, the decision to potentially have a re run of a right wing flagged march through the heart of the old city,
8:24 pm
unoccupied eastern ism. that was supposed to have taken place on the 10th of may to mark the seizure of east jerusalem in 1967, the beginning of the occupation that was cancelled at that point. because that was the day of extreme high tension and violence that ended in the launching of rockets from gaza towards your islam in the beginning of that military escalation. and so the organizers of that wanted to have it a month later this coming thursday, while the situation remains extremely fragile and delicately balanced. well, the security establishment, the police, so that they couldn't use that route designed to go to the old city through them was the quarter through damascus gate because of the potential flashpoints both within the old city and far beyond. hamas has celebrated the decision to cancel this march because the organizes said that they would not succumb to having their route changed. one of the leading members of that, organizing group

a right wing, religious nationalist member of parliament, he said that it is so coming to tara in return by not going through with it, but i think more broadly, many people will be breathing a sigh of relief at this next, particularly potentially very volatile occasion, has so far been averted. well, the number of migrant san refugees tried to cross the english channel from france to britain by boat is raising officials on both sides believe that hundreds have made the crossing just in the past few days. those who make the risky journey across say they're looking for a better life. and despite the danger they have no choice but to try. natasha butler reports from celtic french police officers patrol at b. j night near kelly on a mission to prevent migrants and refugees from trying to cross the english channel to reach the u. k. by boat. they've crossed the mediterranean and survived many dangers. so when they arrive here and see the last 30 or so kilometers,
8:26 pm
it seems like nothing. people, smugglers charge migrants thousands of dollars for a place on a boat. they often use old bunkers like this one to hide material. we've found both and life jackets here in the past, and what happens is the migrants weight and the dooms over there with smugglers retrieve the material and they all go out to be. they were nearly $10000.00 attempted crossings last year. at least 6 people died. police of both stood security along the coast of britain helping to fund patrol that now take place around the clock with some offices on motor bikes, stuff in them, and get us in. it's a recent phenomenon. it's been on the rise since 2019 because security has been tightened on ferries and in the ports. it's much harder to reach the u. k. by classic means and migrants and now trying to log on inflatable boats from hey, you can just about say the person case line through the hays. it is less than 40 kilometers away. and for the migrants and refugees that are trying to cross the english channel. the goal isn't necessarily to reach the land,
8:27 pm
but the n c u. k. waters, about half way. because at that point they have effectively reached britain. many of the migrants from eritrea, serv, dawn, iraq or afghanistan, stuck in squalid conditions in cali. some say that the police harassed them, we saw officers clear hundreds of people from a camp. this group of young afghans say that their risk of both crossing for a decent life. most say they have friends or family in england. without them i go to town. i have one friend who made it by sea. we have to take a risk by boat, scared or not. there's no choice. we have to make it god, but i don't care about the risk because i lift danger and i'm gonna stop. and now it's dangerous to stay here for exit in the pandemic. haven't dissuaded some from trying to reach person or, and did dreams of the thought of safety that many take for granted. so some people continue to risk their life for opportunities, they believe lie on the horizon. natasha butler al jazeera kelly hungry is
