music as we emerged, ah, these are some of 40 musicians who make up the weather orchestra in iraq, 2nd largest city, despite being banned, been mostly was occupied by i. so the melody survived. dirt been christian curd, arab so need and she has these young men and women represent the diversity of iraq to be able to hear music amid the ruins of muscles. old city feel strange, but it brings home the resilience of presidents who see that despite the destruction and lack of help, they remain committed to bringing the city back to life. ah. as late as discuss solutions to a migrant crisis in the americas, we join a group of asylum seekers, new the mexico border headed to the us. ah,
7:01 pm
i'm all by this and this is all the 0 live from doha. also coming up, nigeria is governing party holds its primaries to choose a candidate for next year's presidential election in eastern ukraine, those st to st. battling for control of civil data doing yet skin the dumbass region. we're able not to draw a line onto the issues that are please i want to talk about your k prime minister barak johnson sets out his policy is up to natalie surviving a confidence followed by a divided conservative party ah, as regional leaders are gathered in los angeles for the summit of the americas, hoping to solve a growing migration crisis, or group of thousands of refugees and migrants. a set off from southern mexico heading north to the us. most of them are coming from venezuela, cuba, haiti,
7:02 pm
and guatemala migration activists. so the group could be one of the regions, largest migrant caravans in recent years. at least 6000 people left the border city of tower schuler, and monday they time the departure to coincide with this week's ant summit. our correspondent manual apollo's following the caravan is joining us now live from shoppers state in mexico. then many, you've been walking with the migrants as talk us through what you've been seen. that's right, that we left early this morning. i would actually say in the middle of the night, the caravan actually left the city of us monday morning in the early hours of monday morning, made it as far as a small town called the alba over the going and then somewhere around 3 in the morning on tuesday, they set off on foot again. the idea here is to make as much progress as possible, they cover as much ground as possible before the sun. the midday sun starts to set
7:03 pm
in, which is what we're starting to feel now that punishing heat of southern mexico. what we've seen is thousands of people. the estimates that we're hearing are anywhere between $5.60 migrants. for our viewers that have been following our coverage of migrant care vans in the past, this one is very different ones that we've seen from central america or, or ones that we've seen from, from haiti that have set out from southern southern mexico. this one is made up almost entirely of venezuelan migrants, very troubling because people are growing desperate to, to sort of get ahead of the crowd. this actually this care of and actually can move fast because there are a lot of women and children. so it's only as fast as the slowest members of the group. some of them that get desperate, little frustrated, we try to hop on the back of trucks. we met one gentleman earlier today who had fallen off of a truck that was quite injured on. busy road, so just kind of give you an idea of some of the dangers that these people face. one of the reasons that we're seeing to large mobilization is precisely because the
7:04 pm
idea is that there are safety in numbers. mexico is a very dangerous country for migrants. people here are very well aware of that. so the idea of staying together making as much progress as they can getting to the next town before the heat really sets. and then they can hunker down and sort of rest for the day and set out again in the middle of the night. you mentioned this already, but this care of and does coincide with the summit of the americas taking place in the city of los angeles. this week, this is something that's very much on the minds of the people here. and even though the by did ministry in is expected to announce a large package for economic recovery aim towards central america on the minds of many of the migrants here. again, most of them are from venezuela is what does that do for them? how does it help ben as well and migrants? so again, we've seen caravans like this in the past, but this is certainly the largest one that we've seen so far this year. a mega idea you were saying, of course, her viewers to al jazeera would have been watching you cover these stories time and
7:05 pm
time again. all of these people are heading, as you say, towards the border with the u. s. is there any idea how the authorities and both sides of the board are likely to react when all these thousands of migrants eventually reach, reach that point we have to know that one of the reasons why we keep seeing these large mobilizations of my migrants leaving southern mexico heading toward the u. s. southern border is not only because of the idea of safety numbers. it also has to do with the policy that being implemented by mexico here near the border with guatemala, which is a policy of containment. what's happening in the city of us is one of the largest bottlenecks of migrants on the american continent. so what you have is situations where there's a steady stream of migrants not only from but as well from countries in central america, from countries in africa and elsewhere in the world. they continue to flow into that, but you'll let the pile up to the point where resources are really stretched to the
7:06 pm
limit. there is no places left for them to sleep. there only options are to gather in these large numbers and move north. so far we haven't seen the sort of treatment by immigration authorities that we've seen in the past. we've known how immigration authorities and mexico treated haitian migrants just last year. we know how american immigration authorities in the united states were in the united states were treating haitian migrants last year. those images really went around the globe of migrants being whipped on by, by immigration authorities on horseback in the united states. that hasn't happened yet. we haven't seen the mistreatment of migrants from authorities here in southern mexico, and for the most part, people here seem quite confident that so long as things remain the way they are. they will undoubtedly reach the u. s. other border bio. thank you very much. indeed . obviously we're going to be sticking with you is kinda moves on, but for now manual wrap up. thank you very much indeed on attend to nigeria. now the governing part is holding its primaries to choose
7:07 pm
a candidate for the presidential election next year. more than 2300 delegates from the all progressive congress. not meeting in a boucher well, it's bringing an interest in a budget. this is a big moment for the party talk us through what's been happening. ah, what basically rendering up to this particular day that's been so much confusion about when this convention what a whole lot of all the number of candidates rob has gone beyond you know, russian and ukrainian forces are waiting a fierce battle control in the eastern don't bass region, there are reports of st by st. battles and severe done yet city and the town of lucy shuns moscow says it sees residentially. there's in seattle, john, that's going, it's not pushing into a nearby industrial zones, but ukrainian officials say their troops are holding their positions. the only 2
7:08 pm
places in the hon screeching holding out against the russian assault moscow's controls papa now about 30 kilometers to the south for several weeks, is now pushing outward, trying to take more areas around it. it rains president for me as landscape says russia may have the numbers, but his side, as every chunk of fighting back washes, reportedly deployed extra troops in the region. caves forces are using battle tanks to carry out quick hit and run attacks as part of the kinds of offensive. so i'll try for as in key with more on that fighting sarah nights and neighboring least chance got the last 2 towns in the loo, ganske region that are not under full russian control. and we understand, according to the ukrainians, they actually contradicting the russians and sang ukrainian forces are in control of the industrial area of that to city russians. the russian forces in control of the majority of the residential areas ukrainian saying that up to 12000 civilians
7:09 pm
are still inside the city. now we don't know whether in fact they're trapped all they are refusing to leave. it's important to recognize that in our travels in that eastern region, going into frontline cities and towns like silver, their nets, the people that you do meet when even won't tell you on camera, but they are sympathetic to russian forces and to russia control in that area so simply are waiting for russians to arrive. we do know that the happening, evacuations today earlier today, up from the neighboring town of lucy champs. we know that there been some evacuations from there today. i'm around 30 people only evacuated from there. we also know how dangerous it is, as you can imagine, trying to get civilians out of there. the ukrainians though, remaining optimistic, they sang that certainly over the weekend on reporting that the russians controlled around 80 percent of severed and that's ukrainians. now a saying that they have taking back control of around 50 percent of that,
7:10 pm
80 percent that they initially admitted that the russians controlled. so yes, a lot of heavy fighting in east today is, has coalition. government suffered a major setback. it's failed to pass a bill protecting is really settlers in the occupied west bank. the emergency regulations which expire at the end of the month have been in place for decades. they allow israel is living in illegals settlements to enjoy the benefits of citizenship while palestinians live under military rule. from mister brucely, among con, explains what this vote means for the israeli government. this should have been a simple procedural vote. it happens every 5 years since 1967, and it's always been passed without a hitch. this time around my was a hitch and it didn't pass. the reason for that is because left telling bennett ah presides over a very fragile coalition, the prime minister himself rules over a party or is it part of a party that includes is really palestinian. m. kay's also includes far right m
7:11 pm
kay's as well newly real reason that coalition came together is because they all agreed that they wanted benjamin netanyahu out, and that's why they came together after these railey palestinian em case voting for this law would have been voting for a continuation of the occupation, not simply something they couldn't do, it's thrown the government into a complete tailspin. now there are 3 likely scenarios. the 1st one least likely is that the government simply staggers on until the end of the summer recess, hoping that something might change. that's the least likely the scenario. the 2nd scenario is, are that there is a vote of no confidence in the government that could come as early as wednesday. meaning that they'll be early elections again in israel, is also a number of elections because of this coalition building. we will over the last 3 years. but elections are unpopular with the electron. they've seen for too many of them in 40 shorter space. so it could well be that under the current can asset

7:19 pm
this is a ruling party. the conservative party, deeply divided, deeply unsettled, now, displaying, really to faces on tuesday, one the face of a government that hopes to be able to move on the other. the face, of course, of rebellion. there are some m. p 's on tuesday, who are still in open defiance of forest johnson. some perhaps more resigned to the fact that he's not going anywhere for now. there are some voices in support is very close watch on key figures in the party who may be distancing themselves from him, perhaps to form a sort of nexus around which the rebels can coalesce as a potential candidate to replace it. but yes, this idea of drawing a line under it all and moving on could well prove wishful thinking when the reality is to in 5 of his m. p. 's are against the prime minister. if i understand that rightly a lot of the m. p 's have voted against him, back bench, m p 's. and that means the bars. johnson in the cabinet have less control over than,
7:20 pm
than they do over their immediate co hearts, shall we say that one would imagine is going to make it difficult for the government to put through legislation in the coming months. have a things likely to play out well, there could be coordinated efforts to stand in the way of government policy that certainly a potential prospect paralysis in government, in a party, essentially at war with itself. there are real hurdles ahead. as soon as this month to buy elections, which the conservative party may well lose, that could cement the view. among mpi that maurice johnson is simply no longer the vote winner, that he once was unders. charlie was pointing out there. the rebels have already signaled what may be their next move in the coming months. warning bars johnston on tuesday morning that if there isn't a very sick is a good change of attitude and direction. well then that it is possible to change the rules really quite easily to allow another vote to take place on his leadership, perhaps in the autumn journal. thank you very much. indeed. donna hall,
