8:18 am
nicaragua and venezuela are doing. they don't meet the required democratic credentials now, yet in the richer, no one has the right to exclude anyone. how can you call it a summit of the americas? where are the excluded countries from another continent and other galaxy, another planet? what a mala, honduras, and the caribbean, countries as of block are also threatening not to attend wild, many of those who will plan to protest the reasons, very, mexico's president lucas or whatever. for example, says that this is a matter of respect to a national sovereignty. while here in chile president abilene bodied says that ice and nation and sanctions don't work. and instead calls for dialogue and engagement with the leaders who are accused of human rights violations. saying that they must be brought to the table and brought the task face to face. for this year's agenda focuses on reaching a region wide agreement on migration. but with midterm elections around the corner,
8:19 am
biden doesn't want to antagonize conservatives by inviting leaders from countries that are viewed as authoritarian. i think by the needs president, blocked the ssl rather to come. because mexico is the most important partner of the united states in terms of trying to control the flow of migrants. but by ignoring regional demands for an all inclusive summit, washington is undermining the summit agenda. the exclusion of some of the countries will mean bug that issue will be center piece broadly in the discussions among presidents. the failure to engage to properly engage with latin american countries is going to be costly for bathing. unfortunately, for the u. s. other countries do see latin america as a priority, particularly china. so i think the only one celebrating the way this summit is goin is china cuban venezuela. now say they won't go to the summit, even if invited

8:21 am
crisis. and for a young class. and like we were spent time with the community like losing raja county in kenya who are facing prolonged drought that of course course i got his when if he wants to stay. and i think it's really wanting you to think. but this is only going to be more traffic for them. and this is a come to that depends on 80 percent of their livelihoods coming from lifestyle. but i still the lifestyle dying and i still people who have lost hope for the future and they're desperate because they impartially continue to rise. so i think it is happening because it fails to be in concrete steps that fancies that we must take. now, decades of instability and corruption in iraq to high unemployment. and that's forcing some people to resort to dangerous work to make a living, including planning for precious metals and waste water to 0 as much wood up to wide as more from the rocky capital side got deep in the source of love that there is a living to be earned. these men are panning waste from jewelry shops,

8:24 am
metals are then sent back to the workshop. so they came from to produce more jewelry, craftsman, say they're proficient has declined in recent years due to arise in imported trinkets. but they continue to earn what they can the flex from the jewelry that they mold washed down the sewers. and in darpa, once more in this narrow, grim alley and the smelters battled the noxious fumes to retrieve the precious metals and send them back. once again, ma'am, would abdullah had al jazeera bud. now one of africa's biggest jazz festivals as kicked off in senegal with coban 19 restrictions lifted. hundreds of tourists have been able to travel to the event which showcases music inspired by the continent out there as nicholas hark reports. now, from the cynical his ireland, a salish,
