the delegation that has been in the may will return back and, and, and, and share their findings with the heads of state of the various countries. but there is no appetite to uh, to, to see this what they describe as this contagion of who is in the region. there is a real strong sense for echo was that this needs to stop and it needs to stop with new share. now the security situation, the share is very different to the neighboring countries in which we saw, we've seen a few q is there in looking at 5. so in, in multi all 3 countries, including these here, are struggling with the number of attacks of arm groups linked to al qaeda and ice . so, but it need chair under the elected president of mohammed by zoom. those attacks have decreased considerably in the last year. thanks in part, because of the involvement of france, the french have over 1005 and 500 soldiers on the ground. and the americans that
5:05 pm
have drone operation on the ground. all of that could that could, could go way if this could go through and the military will be on its own for the moment to deal with a threat of arm groups series. nicholas, it's been 3 plus weeks since the cool, almost a month. is it fair to say the time is on the june to side, the longer they stay in power, the harder it becomes to remove them. as to what we've heard from general gianni 8, it seems that there is no turning back, at least from his perspective. he's put in a timeline of what's going to come forward with a 30 days to set up this national dialogue with members of the opposition and civil society. and also he's paved the way for him to stay for the next 3 years. we're, we're seeing like we saw yesterday protests on the streets of the i'm in support of
5:06 pm
the june yesterday. we thought tens of thousands of people gathered. i'm answering to the call of the june for volunteers to join the armed forces. we're seeing today again a gathering at the national assembly. now those are all attempts by general john need to garner up or show up support within his own country. it's unclear if he has the support of members of the military and they have a key role to play here. there are really didn't, general jenny is, is, is head of the presidential guards, but those generals and colonel that are in the front line. some of them we hear disagree with this move. so there's fears that what we've seen in neighboring countries in virginia, across to embody, will receive several crews. one after the other that, that there would be more coo. we said that essentially that journal, jenny has set a precedent allowing any soldier to come up and take a power,
5:07 pm
and that's what echo was, wants to see. and then to said, nicholas hack reporting from the course and the goal. thank you very much. and staying in the region and neighboring molly, the un peacekeeping mission, there is speeding up its withdrawal. as the security situation worsens, the military government has pushed the un mission to leave the country before the end of the year. since and monahan reports, the un peacekeepers in their in northern molly are rushing to pack their bags, dismantle equipment, and shut down their operation summer from ivory coast others from bangladesh. their objective was to protect this dark city of 10, but to from iso and all kinds of fighters, but they're being forced to leave before completing their mission. in june, molly's military lead government cold for the withdrawal of the un peacekeeping force known as mendoza saying, there was no peace for them to keep accusing the un, if in action to the face of attacks and blaming it for the deteriorating security situation. the head of the mission disagrees. let me show the manufacturing and how
5:08 pm
i feel and the mission did a very good job. of course, it's not perfect, but we worked with devotion, sincerity, and coverage. and we paid a high cost. 300 my colleagues have lost their lives and 700 were injured saving molly? so we feel we have done a lot, not enough says delete or a seem equally to he believes the country is better off without the international peacekeeping force. but with the help of russian mercenaries from the wagner group, human rights organizations accused molly and soldiers and russian fighters of war crimes, including rape, torture, and the killing of civilians. they're meant to protect number yeah, a lot of mean by the, in the body and state and the body. and we will try to take over those you in positions which appears to make sense. but given the context and the stolen piece process, their presence may increase existing tension. as you enforce of pulling out all kinds of fighters attack the compound and bear injuring several peacekeepers. since
5:09 pm
there's been fierce fighting armed groups against the valiant army and russian mercenaries, each side trying to gain control the compound, looking to replace the peacekeepers and goals in the middle or the people of temp up to vince and monahan, l g 0. the artillery showing and explosions have been reported, incidents capital is fighting between the army and the parent military rapids support forces shows no sign of ending. gunfire has also been reported in under mine across the nile river. from cartoon, many people are trapped in the city. caught up in a conflict that has been raging since april. the folding is underway in ecuador general election. it comes just weeks after presidential hopeful was assassinated. the army was deployed to several cities ahead of the boat. candidates, a pledge to fight sharp increases in crime and improve if the economy waste like gonzalez, let in pulling ahead of sundays votes or latin american editor or lucy, a new and has more on this from key to need echo doors unprecedented
5:10 pm
political and security crisis. an unprecedented snap general election, a religious ceremony flanked by special forces served as the final campaign event, quickly scanned, so the thought was replacing assassinated, anti corruption and crime candidates. but none to be sent, seal for personal cause. when the request of ecuador is now a knock of state, and otherwise, how can we explain what's happening? we are a country that exports the largest amount of drugs abroad that also consumes as many drugs at home. he seems to me pick up the reading of the polls by diminishing margin as lawyer lisa gonzales from the left wing citizen revolution party, still led by exiled former president bluff. i quoted that he was sentenced to 8 years in a sent you on corruption charges that he denies from abroad. he told ecuador, and said the good days will be back under lisa gonzales. you will. 5, then i see
5:11 pm
a country on its knees for going to start to put it back on its feet so we can walk and then run. in a year and a half, we're going to control security and the countries, the prisons and the borders. but the candidate who poses to use an iron fist against crime is 40 year old jun topic, a kyra's method newcomer in politics. the media, narrow economist and security impresario shows off his tattoos, from recent military missions. he for him to french, foreign legion in somalia, syria and ukraine, and was trained as a sniper topic last off comparisons throughout. so let's chose out to xerox the admirers. el salvador is controversial. president knight, mckinley goes economic bodies, and i don't agree with everything he does. but if that's something that i admire about how solve those presidents, which we will implement in my government, is clarity and determination. read a new form of leadership with energy. urgency is determined to do what is necessary now. although it's a door and have a lot of choices, the winner won't have
5:12 pm
a lot of time. according to the constitution, the new president can only stay in office long enough to finish the outgoing president's administration. in other words, about 18 months after that, there will have to be a new presidential election, a situation many believe will increase in stability and govern ability. here in ecuador, to see a newman out to 0, keep an election is also in the way in guatemala, with voters casting their ballots in a presidential run off. they will choose between progressive congressman, but not of the info and sandra torres, a former 1st lady and conservative candidate mind while we're apollo, is following events. in guatemala city. anxiety is brewing over guatemala is national election. with gandy blankets in guatemala city. police that says she's trying to stay optimistic, i will check that whatever happens,
5:13 pm
i feel that we should take it in a positive way and extract something good from it, because there will always be something negative. sky, these thoughts echo the minds of many guatemalans as the nation prepares to cast its vote. the lead up to the election between center left candidate the matter what a bundle and former 1st lady. some victories has been marked by smear campaigns, allegations of fraud, and even concerns over the integrity of the democratic process of the upcoming national election. not only represents a critical test of guatemalan democracy. there's concerns over worsening crime, food security and climate change. but it's the question over how to jumpstart the nation's economy. that resonates most among voters or one of the greatest challenges guatemala is next president will face is creating prosperity in a deeply on equal country where over 60 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. i look forward is perfect, is compounded by unemployment worse,
5:14 pm
in which conditions and also the increasing price is between 2021 to 2020 to 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 with them islands, i mean, they don't know. economists say a lack of job opportunities makes guatemala, one of the countries with the highest emigration rates in latin america. what am i left? you know what you end up looking, what am i not? 80 percent of the economic, the active population disengaging in the form of labor. so therefore, when population can find form unemployment, 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 say begin issue. basically, the owner of debt goes coffee shop, says despite voter anxiety, there is hope the winter of sunday's election will have the necessary qualities to stir the nation toward a brighter economic future basic and fertilizer. but they're,
5:15 pm
the people will have their see. what we're going to do is try to continue working in the best way, fulfilling our obligations to the extent we can. because the situation is also complex. much like the intricate part of brewing the perfect cup of coffee. addressing the many economic challenges facing the country will require a delicate balance of policy and strategy. mentalism up a little i'll to 0, guatemala city. still ahead on else as 0 mass evacuations in a state of emergency in canada were devastating. why as buyers are tearing through communities and rushes, failed lunar mission, it's spacecraft, spins out of control and smashing into them the the.

watch if the house bigs or not and we know that the smoke is hampering at. that's the battle of the blaze from the air. but we'll see already say they'll wake him to bring the wild fires threatening 11 towns under control. mike level, which is 0, southern california is bracing for what the us weather service calls catastrophic flooding. hurricane hillary is moving north along the coast of mexico's bohack, california peninsula. it is expected to turn into a tropical storm when it makes land for a late on sunday. the 1st time in history, the city of los angeles is under a tropical storm watch. flash floods have already hid, blah, these are the scenes from the town of santa rosalia. on the east coast of the peninsula. forecasters say hillary will bring heavy rain as much as a year's worth in a matter of days. depends prime minister says there is no decision yet on when to begin releasing treated water from the focus human nuclear plant in tennessee from year cuz she was speaking of the focus. she was site in northern japan,
5:24 pm
which was destroyed by its anomaly in 2011. the plan to release the water is opposed by fishermen and neighboring countries. but the international nuclear watchdog says that it is safe. most go says ukraine attacked for separate russian regions on sunday. and course 5 people were injured when a drone hit a railway station causing fire. and minor damage of the aerial attacks were reported in russ stuff. and near moscow, the russian defense ministry says, 12 drones were shot down outside belgrade near the ukrainian border. but that's fine. ministers as his country in denmark, we'll be giving f. 16 jets to ukraine. mark with a hosted ukranian president, followed the mirror zalinski and the southern city of mind open. the announcement came 2 days after the us approve the transfer of the plains to keep as part of the plan and netherlands and denmark will deliver the fighter jets to ukraine. once certain conditions are met, it shows the ceiling and this is one more step and strengthening ukraine's and
