they took the floor with the photos of people who have been killed yesterday. and then the prime minister had to leave its been on recession, then they're coming back. but it's a one of the legislators that came out. it's just a few minutes. those told me that a, this is very likely that they will give the prime minister the vote of confidence a will have to see how that it transcends to the streets of the country. that is asking and demanding the president resigned from the presidency. and how is the government going to convince protests to take, take a step back and sit in the shaking table. well, the president has said that she doesn't understand what is, what is it double the protestors want. they. busy they are demanding the closing of congress to bring forward elections. she says that she cannot do any of that. you cannot hold the constitutional assembly. now, the,

the president of the prime minister has taken a more, if confronted confrontational tone, if you will, by seeing that 2 processors are blaming precedent former for students that will feel for the same that protesters are being financed by foreign groups. they are being financed by drug traffickers. this is really not voting well with protesters on the streets who ones wanted to resign and were saying for many, many people say they're coming up. terrorists, we are not terrorists, we are farmers, we are workers want a better life. for us, and they feel that they are going to force the resignation of president. the prime minister has indeed announced that there will be new measures. we don't know what those measures will be, but the countries in the state of emergency 30 this back to be extended. and of

american leader summit. it's also known as the 3 amigos or 3 friends some time. this is the summit that was halted during the donald trump's administration and was started by joe biden when he took off. so there's lots of issues on the agenda among that is economic integration. also strengthening supply change of mineral soft chips of electronic equipment. the idea would be to cut the dependency from china, and this is something that would definitely benefit countries like mexico, the other issues. i think the situation in haiti, a country that is currently in a social, political turn well with dozens of people being killed with gun controlled area. so this is another issue that will be discussed would lead to be major issue right now . that's being debated, which is migration, what is happening with the thousands and thousands of people that are trying to make it to the united states and canada that are piling of the border between the united states and mexico. there's been a storage in the number of people that have been the pain there from 1000000 people

to 2000000 people into 1022. so finding solutions to the united states has already made and announced a plan that would allow $30000.00 people to travel from countries like in the corolla, cuba, haiti, and venezuela. to enter the country legally. and mexico has also agreed to accept 30000 people their 4 teeth a month from the united states. it is also been discussed that what could be announced is a virtual platform that would assist migrants and setup office is close to the border to also give information and guide migrant that are making it there. but when you talk to people on the ground, many do not understand what is being proposed, what they have to do. they just want to enter the country, and many of them are fleeing violence and want to request political asylum. the other issue that has come up, of course, is drug trafficking security across the us mexico border. the united states has been pressuring mexico to help in the trafficking of drugs such as ben teneo job

biding during the bilateral meeting that happened with under manuel lopez. so it was very, very clear that much more needed to be done to cut the trafficking of fentanyl to the united states, something that chose between 72100000 people every year because of overdose. got bilateral meeting. we also heard, i'm going to manuel, look with photo or claiming, criticizing the united states for its policies towards latin america. he said that it was time to change the key to change the relationship and give a much more important to the region in order to attack the root causes of migration of poverty and conflict. we're waiting for more announcements later today. i'm going to have to see whether those announcements were going to have an important impact in this part of the world series or both. thank you very much. need israeli parliament has begun voting on reviving a law, which gives settlers access to civilian law and discriminates against palestinians who could only face military court. the vote marks the 1st and legislative move

since prime minister benjamin netanyahu took office last month. iran count has more from western than what it does is allows is ray citizens to have the same rights as rigs, isms. we live in illegal settlements under international law in the occupied west by allows those citizens of the exact same rights as people living in israel. itself, for example, you can get driver's licenses, you can, you have medical access to medical facilities. that kind of thing was also a criminal justice element to all of this as well. it basically means the effect of li, as israel living in the occupied where spike you're so living on the israeli law now it's gone to its 1st reading. it will go to a 2nd and go to a 3rd. that's fairly standard for all is really low. so again, hard like i say, there's no danger of this not being pulse because it wasn't past that, it would be a huge story because it, you would effectively be abandoning all of those or israelis who are living in the occupied at westmark. and that would never happen sometimes though the law has been

used to test the popularity of a government and it gone to a 3rd reading and then it hasn't been voted on. but it is always pretty much noted, as we've seen since the occupation began. now if you're palestinian, on the other hand, you come under a completely different set of laws. you come on the israeli military laws because israel is clearly the occupies all the west pike. that's a different justice system. so it's very discriminatory. a lot of international organizations call this 2 tier system apartheid. a pacific storm continues to bring torrential rain to california. a day after flooding and mudslide risks triggered the evacuation of thousands of people. and he's 16 people have been killed since last week and move a 34000000 or under flood warnings. another $230000.00 homes and businesses of without power. another storm is expected to hit parts of the state on wednesday and get more from rob reynolds. he joins us live now from santa cruz to what to like where you are. well, it's not raining right this moment, lauren,

look further out past the, the old amusement park here he could see on the beach. ah, the waves crashing against the shore. ah, and there's a ton of debris out there all along the sand. nobody's surfing in this can under these conditions. lauren: as you mentioned 16 people have lost their lives over the past several days, including a several people who have been killed by falling trees in high winds. a 5 year old boy was swept away when the vehicle his mother was driving. i was caught in a flash flood. ah, and a thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of people have been evacuate, including the entire town of monta seato. that's in santa barbara county, south of year. a place where many celebrities are are to have their homes. as you mentioned, a many people are without power. ah,

and many people have been evacuated to a shelters across the state. even down in los angeles, it's raining heavily now. the forecast is for more rain, another atmospheric river due to hit this coastline in the, in the next 24 hours or less. after that forecasters say that the intensity and duration of these storms will decrease to something more like normal a weather events rather the the extraordinary parade of storms. ah, the only good upside for this for california. as you may know, the state has been in a severe drought for, for years really now, due to the storms, the snow pack in the mountains where we get most of our, our water from is at 200 percent of its normal level. so that's a good thing, but that's not much comfort to many people who are living through this of this relentless battering by the,
