8:12 am
nation's economy. that resonates most among voters. it's one of the greatest challenges guatemala is next president will face is creating prosperity in a deeply, an equal country where over 60 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. i look forward a suffolk public, these compounded by unemployment worse and which conditions and also the increasing price is between 20212022 the basic cost of living rooms by 12 percent. but salaries only increased by one. so these realities, generation, and immediate and daily concern among what the balance is, i mean, they don't know. the economists say, a lack of job opportunities makes guatemala, one of the countries with the highest emigration rates in latin america. with them i looked into what you end up looking, what the 80 percent of the economics, the active population disengaging for my labors. so therefore, when population can find formerly employment, they typically have 2 options of working in the form of sector, or migrating to the united states as good on the federal fund or not. i meant to

8:18 am
the good watching else is there a reminder about top stores? the cell, which is millard fruitful a has proposed a 3 year transition of power to west african latest made another attempt at diplomacy to reverse the code statements by general up to romani, she on a follows troops with a delegation from regional block because some 55000 residents in western canada had been forced to evacuate. their homes is 2 separate, while 5 inch closer file sizes are using a tank, is in helicopters to pass the funds from northwest territories and, and british columbia. to go to mullens, the heating to the polls on sunday in the presidential bundles one that scene is a taste of the country's democracy versus which is between congress think panata out of hollow and such as told us a former 1st lady, millions of ecuador,
8:19 am
and to also preparing to vote on sunday, in the general election under the shadow of violence and the assassination of a presidential candidates. the army has been deployed to deliver election materials to polling stations. well, the window of sunday's thoughtful face an overwhelming public demand for security. less than america in tennessee and human reports from key to this echo doors. government is deploying easy, 6000 policemen and soldiers all over the country to every single polling station in this very large country from coast to coast. but that does not necessarily mean that people will feel particularly safe. that does not give them security in their neighborhoods. when they leave there to go to the doctor, they're assigned posing stations. they've been a number of hit and run, shootings leading up to the election itself. it's unsure if they are actually connected to the election, but it certainly doesn't make people feel very secure. and it certainly one of the
8:20 am
reasons why violence and security have become the main, the main topic, the main priority for voters. people's former mayor of what you use to date of radio broadcast or says he's still traumatized. the noise in the 5th and got me on the van into assisted me in my thoughts as we were leaving the tunnel. you say 5 people got out of another vehicle on to have to flip them in they grab my daughter from the driver's seat. i tried to run in vain. see this? i mean, so this was the thing that we know totally off to 30 minutes later out and said we have the wrong person. 4 they were exceptionally lucky and it was or did not big extortion and murder to become an epidemic. when presidential candidates into congressional candidates when murdered this month, underscoring why the number one electro issue is violence. i'm just outside of the
8:21 am
electoral afar. the headquarters here in key to my head of sundays selections, you can see that security has been increased, but when you talk to ordinary equity orange, they tell you that they don't make them feel safe, that they're not part of the solution. but often part of the problem in ecuador is penitentiary and security forces are in league with criminal gangs, and drug leaders, corruption and penetration of organized crime and to state institutions specially, security forces is undeniable. this man who didn't want to give his name says everyone knows that even the justice system is corrupted every day, more body to peer somewhere decapitated or dismembered, or hanging from the bridge. what has happened to this country? your god, we put violence isn't the only problem. 70 year old established somebody annual sales desk pans and the city center. and he has
8:22 am
a lot of competition everywhere people are selling whatever they can to survive. here no one will give you even a piece of bread. if you don't look for ways to buy a piece of bread, no one will give you a crumb. mountain unemployment, poverty and crime, connecticut, fear through the color, the sink. what the wind blew for the month, 7 out of 10 people don't have form of luck. so how can we expect that a country living at cape poverty? they won't be violence. that's impossible. there's little expectation that whoever is elected will be able to solve the crisis, which is why more of the doors than ever before are leaving their country in search of the work and safety. see a newman al jazeera people. more than 230 people have died of cholera in the democratic republic of congo this year. most of them the children who will keep you province, is the west effected, i think,

8:24 am
the other aspect of it to mention is that we did the drives and we, we will shortly be losing it to the right. and so that's, that's by distribution security. ready cameras, if he's gonna increase the risk a substantial the patient is also search. busy the settings because we have the people living on these poor, besides which is possible kind of law. and that means that digging the tree, it's also a fall of cost and the time consuming process. so the standardization is another extremely important part of, along with the household types you practice and it also costs the. ready a clean drinking for scientists and bangladesh. so wondering that high levels of micro plastics found and river spaces, a threatening by diversity and control of certain diseases tended chandry explains
8:25 am

8:26 am
edible parts yet, which means we are already consuming micro plastics with the food chain. in another study assigned is found in abundance of pollutants and surface water and underlying settlements of lakes and rivers in the capital dot com. got it out on the, on the money problem with saucer. we hardly get fish. no, it is. it's because of the biggest pollution reverse is canals due to pollution, fissions don't beat as they used to. they're not able to survive anymore in this polluted waters. x. but say frogs have vital role and controlling mosquitoes that carry diseases such as malaria cases of dangled fever. i've reason alarmingly here in recent years, researchers been involved in the study say the high level presence of micro plastic and frogs. both of the potential try to bio diversity and crop production. environmental dash scientists say that verizon disposable plastic usage is creating a pressing challenge for food safety as micro plastic accumulating and the marine

8:28 am
teams attacks with talents. i'm going to sleep in england. we haven't yet seen the best of spain's alexia protests when of multiple world player of the year awards, england around pizza. but how to play an easy a pos to the final with no count games against nigeria, columbia, and co, hostile, strayer, spain slowly improved drastically off to the group stage as they swept aside switzerland, benevolence, and sweet. as we are no england, we all know the play is of play with some of them and some of my teammates, maybe we because when some of them we know that they have a really good team and they've been doing good. so i think it's going to be a really good game, the finalist or even the match. but perhaps the a subbing glen sleep is the coach sabrina bateman. this will be her full successive major final pump. the guiding the netherlands to european championship victory in
