hour. donald, go to the many people who got wounded due to the storm, even around this place. some of the wounds and legs and hands, many died. and when the strong go stronger, i ran away from display as with my children as i did not want to die. but we sang in the water and people save us by pulling us out. both of them of the tropical psych loan left wide spread damage and its way fishing boats of volume to punch the economy. pound up like fresh tinder along the coast. many buildings with most of the structures. now without rooms, windows or doors. the area has been cut off since sunday, with roads blocked and communications down. people here till delta 0. there's very little aid relief. a medical services have stopped me. i'm a state tv showed senior general minimum life inspecting damage in the area are on monday. official sources,

headset and the 3 people died in the storm. that numbers likely to rise sharply. this communication lines are restored in neighboring bangladesh, when more than 1000000 wrangle refugees live in camps. repairs are already on the way. it's a huge strain on people with such a limited results as well. there many fit, it could have been worse and it's a devastating play. both of those displaced and those remained at home. tony chang elton's there. sorry for others had of programs for me and mon, bangladesh. it is slattich relief worldwide. she says people who been forced from their homes are especially vulnerable to extreme weather events, in that sense to, you know, it's a config julia and the bottle of associates of it going to be some is, is very important. so that housing is going to shun and other facilities also not so strong. that is,

it may seem to spectrum happened and i did the 10s situated in that hand, as it did, don't see videos as it is and other times. but it is as well as the communities, you know, at home 600000. you can get them when it is also living in rural areas. so data is immensely famous. have been in google houses also. and in id be gems, have been person uh, id be sell does roofing of this. so does the dentist buy some houses and upset on them to 50 percent of these uh, what the sides that actually uh was due in most of the peoples belongings. so then desperately need for them know, and then also they need an advice like you've been saying, we have to supplement for the less physically this as well as we have to look into

the 2 men and women produce evans, if this results so like no, no it can do that, we can, there is only way to go there. we'd motorcycle because that are not fully clear. and password proceedings against the ecuadorian president k or my last. so our do to start shortly. it will be the opposition seconds of time to remove the president's law. so could to solve congress before he sacked on the center and create the reports in the capital key to a cindy. it's the more or less is do or die momentum in on tuesday, the opposition control legislator starts named beach mintz process against the conservative president, bringing to a boiler long simmering political crisis. your position believes it has the super majority of 92 out of a 137 votes required to remove the former banker as president. he said.

ministration has been besieged by scandals deteriorating economic conditions and a type of drug related killing ecuadorian on the streets or as divided as ever really bad. i think he should go in the democratic and legal way, the congress is representing the will of the people. this government has only destroyed our health and education systems. good. that's what the video very mean last. so should finish his term, the people 18000000, echo dorians voted, and he won a majority. we should let him finish his work. last was accused of corruption related to the embezzlement of funds and contracts, signed with the state oil transferred company supporters denied the charges describing them as politically motivated by the people. we don't see that the level of this would be nothing short of a parliamentary into their trying to remove him with strained, farfetched evidence. remember that this contract was signed in 2018 by the previous government. investigators have found no penal responsibility, so there can be

a political one. leading impeachment, congress woman says that this is just one of a series of corruption allegation surrounding the presidency in their circle. and it has become a referendum on his government. and then what am i need? this is no, we're not trying to stabilize the country. i mean, it's response to a demand by citizens, a desperate clamor for constitutional solution to a problem called gamma. less of the polls show that off to the issue of security. the biggest problem for the dorians is lost, so at present it must be less of february appear before congress to defend themselves. but he also vowed to the solve congress and call for early elections against the impeachment vote triggering a peculiar constitutional clause known as mutual debts. that has never been used before fully. if that is triggered less, it will remain in office for another 6 months governing by decree. but at least fee or it could spark further protest. similar to those last year over the rising cost

of living in for during stability with rock country already addressed at least some of them yet. i just need a key to let's find out where things stand right now and speak to other sandra, who's joining us once again from ecuadorian capital. ok so, so how the proceedings started, and how likely is that that last so will be in peach the well the proceed that being the, the saturday, then we're just minutes away from the expected arrival of upgrades. you then get a more or less of thousands of a supporters of gathers since the early morning gets here in front of the countries national assembly protesting against this political trial opposition and assembly members have been not presenting the evidence i gave to alaska who is accused of essentially allowing the corruption in the number of contracts to relate the, to

a public oil transport company. this is one of a number of vacuum nations that's around us at a lot. so and as the inner circle, the, those, those evidence is being present in now and then last, so we'll have the opportunity to defend himself. so the opposition believes that they do indeed have the votes of for last those removal. they need a super majority of 2 thirds of the national assembly, but probably things are fluid here and things could change between now and the day of the votes expected on a saturday or later next week. yeah, and the other sounds were because last of themselves can decide instead to dissolve congress and call for early elections to avoid being sucked. absolutely, that's uh clause said that the in the constitution knows that as viewed through all

that. and the president could trigger it at any time before. busy both we heard you rumors that he could do that as early as the night after decision is that the situation. c in the country is so complicated that the governing is not an option for him anymore. that would have, that would mean essentially this solving congress also the end of its presidency. i'm calling for early elections back and he would then have the opportunity to continue governing by the free for the next 6 months or so. he can do that at any time before the boat. it has never done before and ask whether and so i couldn't see there that extreme political decision by the last i said many times that if indeed that he will be impeached, you will trigger that clause before that happens. and the expectation is in be that the se, understand that, that my joy,

the majority of assemblyman will vote against him. he could do that uh in the coming days or even later today. okay, thank you. i have a sunroof here, t reporting from key to the still ahead on al jazeera were in charge where a suit the needs refugees are having to watch their homes fern across the border in west star for the land of the free america has never been a real democracy, the black people have never experienced democracy, may be excludes divisions and struggles in america's electoral system. aside for and against equal representation. and the democratic process is the country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. one person, one vote on al jazeera,

the west star for region. same bus for avi has more from oh and dollar an eastern shot. the border between chide and to done is porous and wild. lately you can see smoke rising in the distance, faint and far away. but those living here save that is all janina. the capital of west are for burning the most active hotspot and students conflict. second only to hard to an armed villagers caught up in violets. the consequence of the fight for control of the country, refugees here say they escaped in the night, searching for days to find a safe crossing. they describe games of on demand and vehicles harassing them, reading their villages, holding them against their will and killing people. so you can ask them, i do not everybody came, we left the old people, they're still there. we can't go back to get them. we don't know what to do. we don't have anything to go and fight these people. but maybe the govern chat can help us rest of the elders. they know if there is concern. what is happening there

could happen here. driving up here, we could see plumes of smoke rising all along the horizon in different areas on the student side of the border. if we were to start walking, we'd be on the other side of the border into don in about 10 minutes. when we got here, the people that had fled, those villages told us that those were their homes on fire. and if they still have people there, chads army garrisoned additional troops at audrey and the fathers broke out into one local leader set in chat. there was a soldier under every tree, a warning to or into groups on the other side of the border to better tearing for doors remain open. but the military is on high alert on the portable dock because there is enough to control this is if your neighbors hotels on fire, you must prepare yourself. so yours doesn't catch fire too. you will see the coffee on the refugees should feel at home. here he says,

the cross border attacks into chad have happened in the past. all of the world that are built up areas offer some protection villages would be as vulnerable as those on the student east side. we'll see about how much family lives in chad. but her farm is in, so we don't. she says it's been occupied by raiders for son and husband are stuck. their name was that of we just need help. bring a security. we need security to remain here with us. so yesterday there was also smoke and a lot of gunfire. we here just all day, we were afraid all day because the smoke is so close, we can see it. a tier the lives of student needs and childs straddled the imaginary lines that divide their countries. they share the same space, the same vulnerabilities as the newly exiled who can only look back at home, where loved ones are left behind. perhaps yet unaware of a sobering statistic. most refugees who come here from who don't never go back.
