making them the 2nd largest group of charge, the number of ukrainians arriving is also increased. so the number of tens of russian arrivals, the 2 countries are to the thousands of the citizens living on the side each other on this intrusion i. alena too is had a bakery and keep for now she says she'll remain here the dreams of the day and she can return home. the boat is under way and echo doors presidential election days off to one of the candidates was assassinated. the abundance of business on 0 life and doha, also coming up denmark on the netherlands confirmed, they'll supply ukraine with that 16 jacks to help them to fight against russia. gosh, as far as moving mission in almost 50 years and was in disappointment. there is

a spacecraft crashes on to the lunar, so this is yours truly does propose a 3 year transition to civilian rome. georgia stable for military intervention by their neighbors. the tide security is in place across echo dollars. the nation cast ballots in the presidential election. the buildings taking place, just days after one of the candidates was assassinated, the armies been deployed to several cities ahead of the vote. the president declared a state of emergency after a tax on several candidates, increasing organized crime and gang violence as dominated campaigning. the head of the pole, about 50 percent of voters said they were still undecided. and that means this election is one of the most unpredictable in decades. i live in america editor, lucy, and newman has more funky to i need it for doors,

unprecedented political and security crisis, an unprecedented snap general election. a religious ceremony flanked by special forces served as the final campaign event for police, down to the thought was replacing assassinated, anti corruption and crime candidates. but not it will be sent seal. but if we're still going to go there, just when that request go, 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. what do you see if they didn't 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 rafael quarter. that he was sentenced to 8 years and up sent you on corruption charges that he denies from abroad. he told ecuador, and set the good days we'll be back under lisa gonzales was vice. then i see

a country on its knees for going to start to put it back on it's 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. with the candidate who poses to use an iron fist against crime is 40 year old jun topic, a kyra's magic new color in politics. the millionaire economist and security impresario shows off his tattoos, from recent military missions. he flashing the french foreign legion in somalia, syria and ukraine, and was trained as a sniper topic last off comparisons to rambo, but tells out to xerox. kid myers el salvador is controversial. president and i look at it, i go 2nd on the body to i don't agree with everything he does, but if that's something that i admire about el salvador is president of which we will implemented. my government is his 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 them lot of choices, the winter won't have

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 instability and govern ability. here in ecuador, the sea, and human, i'll just hear i clicked on, and it says joining us now from our case of let's see. we mentioned before, the selection is one of the most unpredictable in decades. how is the vote going of the, for the voters going very steadily, everybody is coming out to vote. and one of the reasons is that this is of it is a little trade to vote here, but not just because you might get a fine if you don't come out to vote. it's, it's a system that i haven't seen in any other countries. after you've worked with that have a piece of paper in order to carry out any official procedure from getting a passport to getting a bank loan, a drivers license, and they'll hold a rate of,

of things that people need and their daily lives. you must present the card the proves that you voted in the last election. so there, there is a steady stream of people out here still voting. the polls will close in 3 hours so far things have gone quite peacefully. i haven't heard of any violent events taking place, certainly not here in the capital, but we did hear from one of the presidential candidates for the scan. so did that, who was the one who replaced the assassinated candidates? and he said that he received a death threat from a drug cartel from mexico warning him to tremble. and that is a way to say that his policies are his promises to implement a rather to the deployed the army, to the delta, only the ports, but the airports and also the borders is not going down well with organized crime. i called over the course like many other countries, is facing a raft of issues that have to be dealt with by whichever government gets into place . and yet, security as you've been talking about, it has become the focus of this,

or any of the candidates benefiting from that focus and security. let's show well 1st there's one candidate whom i mentioned just earlier and his name is young topics. he's the one who has, he has a, has made a career in the army in the french foreign legion. he's has always been speaking about getting tough. he's sounds like he could really do the job and he is a kind of a, he's acquainted very much with the else how the door and president boot kelly, who as we know has carried out mass incarceration of gang members in the, in his country. a lot of questions about the human rights aspects of. busy of that, but still he is extremely popular, so some people are planning to vote for him on that score. then there are a couple of other candidates that have also promised to track down on organized crime, but who seemed rather weak in doing so because it's, it's difficult for people to make up their minds and all the candidates are now

saying that their number one priority is going to be putting the country back together again in terms of security and finding a good store, denies crime. they all say the same thing, which one can actually do it. that's what the ecuadorian people are trying to figure out. and they say obviously we're going to be coming back to you in the next few hours as things play i but finality in human kito. thank you very much. any presidential run off is under way in guatemala voters are choosing between a progressive congressman, but not the out of auto assigned to thomas former 1st lady and conservative candidate on a rock. and i was following events in gloss. i'm on a city. the things id 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. 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, the sconce, echo the minds of many guatemalans as the nation prepares to cast its vote. the lead up to the election between center left candidates that a man what a bunny and former 1st lady said that this has been marked by smear campaigns, allegations of fraud and even concerns over the integrity of the democratic process . the upcoming national election not only represents a critical test of guatemalan democracy, there's concerns over worsted in crime, food security and climate change. but it's the question over how to jumpstart the 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 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 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 an immediate and daily concern among what the balance is, 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. with them i looked into what you end up looking, what am i not 80 percent of the economic, 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 say begin issue with the, the owner update goes coffee shop says despite voter anxiety, there is hope the winter of sundays election will have the necessary qualities to stir the nation toward a brighter economic future even. and it's nice again, fertilizer, but they're, the people will have their see. what we're going to do is try to continue working in the best way to feeling our legation,

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, how does era guatemala city? okay, let me give you a closer look at the presidential candidates and the auto follow is now the front runner is expected to secure over 60 percent of the vote is a congressman and the son of god. amount us 1st, democratically elected president essential that spot is running on an empty corruption platform. he's facing off against assigned to a tourist and she's a former 1st lady and conservative candidates. she's changed the presidency twice before both times. she's lost a party is running on a campaign to bolster the social programs to address poverty throughout the country . and mine was joining us now from gloss. i'm on the city at tell us what the mood is like 1st of all, in the, in the voting. a good be with you, rob,

but we're at a voting cetera. in guatemala is historic district. here with the polls expected to close it just under 5 hours at this point. the mode is very good here. several people showing up with other kids. so lots of families here. lots of smiles. the occasional clapping from the different polling boots here, i think after the slide, we're going to try to get to the bottom of that why people are so happy. i think it has a lot to do with the fact that we got them all is now, and it's final stretch after a, a kind of a controversial election season. one where the threats of a political crisis has been looming since that 1st round of voting in june. i tried of a political crisis that hasn't entirely fizzled out here. we did hear from one electoral observer earlier today who told us that until now there haven't been any reports of any of the anomalies or irregularities linked to the electoral process. but there are somewhere around $8000.00 electoral observers that have been deployed

throughout guatemala to ensure that this, that the electoral process will be um, will be respected. one point that i should note here that has been raising eyebrows throughout the course of today is a local reporter who caught up with sun. but that daughter is she is the candidate from the party. he asked her if she would be, if you would respect the results of the election, if she were to lose, she did not answer that question. that's got a lot of people here talking about what comes next. because again, this election from the very start, it's been very clear, been voiced by international observers that this election taking place today, sunday, august 20th critical tests for the string of democratic institution ality here in guatemala. right now, your tenant is a couple of moments ago that it's the economy. clearly, that is the main problem. and so whoever gets into power is going to have, have hope to have some effort to kick started. but the problem is that still going to happen is it is going to take a long time to fix that's certainly the case, rob, you know,

there's a myriad of problems in guatemala that need to be addressed by the incoming president . there's a climate change is on the minds of people, the democracy of the country is on the mind. but when we ask voters, when we ask economists, when we ask political analysts, the one thing that keeps coming up is job opportunities. it's poverty, it's male nutrition, all of these different topics that are also linked to corruption. each of these candidates has their own strategy, their own government plan that the seek to implement if they are elected in the case of son that daughter is what she is said is that she's betting heavily on taking advantage of the near shore and trend the united states moving away from manufacturing jobs in china and bringing them back, bringing them closer to the united states. countries like mexico are already benefiting from the near shoring trend the creation of new jobs, the creation of the or, or the large bit of the manufacturing sector linked to the united states. this is

something that son that i thought is help hopes, guatemala can seize on giving its geographic proximity to the united states. on the other hand, you have uh, the set or left candidate building out of the idea of, of who's betting heavily on, just hammering down on corruption attacking corruption, identifying that is one of the main drivers against economic growth and job creation here in the country. but also when we talk to economists here in the country overwhelmingly, and you set it there when you were asking your question, rob, if this is not an easy fix, even with the right strategy, even with the right plan implemented perfectly even attacking corruption. this is not something that's going to happen overnight, perhaps not even something that any one president can achieve throughout the course of a 4 year term. what's needed is a long term strategy for long term prosperity. anything short of that is going to be a continuation of the same policies that we've seen. plunge guatemala into a cycle of corruption and poverty. like we've seen over the course of the last 3 decades. you know, obviously i know we're going to be coming back to you as things develop over the

next few hours, but for now, oh, my god, robin. no. talking to us from guatemala city of denmark is the name 19 the size of jets to ukraine for his own going war with russia and its prime minister. and there's a frederickson said she hopes to deliver the 1st 6 of the 6 things around the new year. president brought it means the landscape. welcome to a decision show. assuming this is one more step and strengthening ukraine's air defenses, we will use f. 16 jets to keep russian terrorists away from ukrainian cities and villages mock and i have agreed on the number of f sixteens that will be provided to ukraine after our pilots and engineers have been trained. guys all the host covose's, the editor in chief of his west military review. and he explains how the supply of f, 16 fighter jets will impacting cranes war efforts. as you can imagine, that the situation is going to change in the coming weeks and coming months because russian air forces has become emboldened by the facts that's

a less and less of ukrainian aircraft. we're able to teach the air and intercepts and fire ms files at that. so without a sufficient number of airplanes, the ukraine into air force cannot maintain its size, the territorial. it's the air space integrity. we're going to see in the coming months, more ukrainian airplane. and therefore, this will probably push back the russian air force strength. these airplanes are multi row and because they are fitted with a very comprehensive electronic sweets. and even the older generation of 16 we're talking about now has been modernized repeatedly. they are capable of air defense. they are capable of recognizance including electronic suppression,

jamming missions. and of course, a striking capabilities. so air to ground capabilities as well. rushes 1st mission to the moon and almost 50 years has ended in disappointment. it's been a 25 spacecraft lost control and crashed. we're trying to land across the space agencies as the craft moved in an unpredictable orbit. before colliding with the surface of the moon. it's a blow to most goes on visions and the global race to reach the north. south pole in mainland thompson is a science journalist, and she says moscow's mission to the moon has a great significance for the country space program. miss was the 1st mission in 50 years for russia. it was also the 1st mission under the flag of just russia because the last time they went to the moon, they were under the banner of the soviet union. so this was really a mission to prove themselves and say that they could, you know, handle interplanetary emissions. they were originally supposed to do this mission

with the european space agency. but after they invaded the ukraine and everything sort of fell apart with partnerships around the world. so this was an opportunity to stay relevant and you know, this versioning field of everyone wanting to go to the moon. china has a lander on the far side of the moon. the united states has been to the moon countless times and are planning missions to go back. but in terms of other countries, you know, access to space is more readily available than it's ever been in history. so now all of these countries are trying to do the impossible to do the great things of, of getting to the moon, and they're realizing that it's more difficult than what they expected. so had, and i'll just see the un peacekeeping missions springs up. it's withdrawal from molly, is the security situation deteriorates the,

the hello good to see. we're turning up the heats in southern spain and also portugal as well. those details right here, right now. great to have you along here is a forecast on monday. so think places like seville and cord about your temperatures will be 40 degrees and above really all through next week and steadily climbing to 43 in seville by thursday, that's almost 10 above average, but not record breaking stuff to central europe. many spots still hanging onto the thirty's with showers rolling through pulling will match down those temperatures a bit, but still above average for this time of the year. temperatures are also starting to come up and assemble. that breeze turns biter through the boss for us. 32 is what you'll max out out on monday to the northwest. we go get in stripes with a bit of rain, northern ireland, western scotland too far away from edinburgh with the high 21 degrees and off to africa. we go. this intense rain that was over north northern benito,

go and gone up, pushes into per keno fast. so and then eventually into molly now for southern africa, weak disturbance, we'll give a bit of rain and wind for cape. so we're going to talk about the heat here. from jeff on his burg north, in many spots, temperatures are running about 10 degrees above average. so in build a way of $33.00 on thursdays that could be a new record for the month of august season a bit. the teenager arrested an accused of conspiring to, over through the russian government. determined to prove your innocence or a political mother becomes a permanent human rights act. a remarkable tale of political persecution and the price paid by citizens, the full file space for the new great and his case. a witness document on a, just a you the,

the the, what you know does it a reminder of our top story is this, our voting is under way in ecuador, general election that comes just weeks off of the presidential hope was assassinated. more than a 100000 police and soldiers have been deployed to pulling station and people in guatemala voting and a presidential run off. as soon as the test of the countries democracy in the netherlands confirms that will be supplying ukraine with f. 16 by subjects to help them to fight against russia. president voting these events can be welcomed. what you've described as historic decision is yours. military leaders proposing

a 3 year transition to civilian rule and unsupported by general. other arguments jani follows talks with the delegation from the west african block, echo was members of the delegation also met new jazz deposed president mohammed by zoom was under house arrest in the army. i'm addressed reports from a boucher and neighboring nigeria. 3 weeks after the cool is years military is under pressure. sanctions in post by the regional block echoes of kind of inputs of food, electricity and medical supplies. and the leadership is in type it may not those who have impose these cruel sanctions and threatened to kill thousands of new jerry and are hoping to divide and impose their will on our people . they think they can force us to accept what is deeply unacceptable. because this country to our interest and to our cardinal value, they want to isolate our country at a time when our people mostly community and solidarity to better face terrorism and

insecurity. which public 7 sellers still unpaid and shortages of essential goods. the military risk losing its support by ease. for now though, it can count on these people in the capital thousands, riley doing such a day, volunteering to join the army, to fight against any potential intervention by it goes, forces. duty to our moods you need, i guess that backdrop delegation from echo is how it talk to the coordinator general of drama and chinese. and then they also made president mohammed buzzle of the june to accuse us of treason sits, were acting in the interest of a forwarding state. i referenced across the form of colonial power we met and we heard from him and what was done to him. he told us about the problems he's facing, that we will take to the lead has sent us here. the visit is seen as a potential breakthrough as the unit as agreed to dialogue and announced that the transition to democracy with molly gimme an book and if possible failing to deliver

on the transition promises, it's not clear how it course will respond. tempe, the need to meet them all the will to act militarily is to stop what could be seen as a contagion of cuz there's been cues and guinea bricking and fast so and molly countries who carry the ecos monday like send the call in the ivory coast want to stop this, but these dates are seen as being too close to france. the former colonial power. in nigeria, people are divided over some portfolio regionally, intervention, the impact of sciences. i also felt to you businesses estimate the losing hundreds of millions of dollars a month says the board is with ms. you were closed the coordinate, his primary concern is to have those sentients lifted. something that's only likely to happen if that course accepts john chinese propose timeline for transition to democratic cool. how many degrees i just need a couple job of the un peacekeeping mission and molly's speeding up as withdrawal

as the security situation. derek, as was the managing govern, pushed the un mission to leave the country before the end of the year. friends in law and reports un peacekeepers and they're 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 been news about 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 money actually, and i had, i feel 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 june to leader a seem equally to he believes the country is better off without the international peace keeping 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, their men to protect. number yeah, 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 solar piece of process, their presence may increase existing tension as the un force of pulling out all kinds of fighters attack the compound and bear injuring several peacekeepers. since there's been fierce fighting armed groups against the bali and army and russian mercenaries, each side trying to gain control the compound. looking to replace the peacekeepers, and course in the middle are the people of tempe,

up to vince and monahan. how does the sound of his appointment, as it says, is deployed armed forces to help with evacuations? in the western province of british columbia, tens of thousands of people that are being forced to leave their homes as to wildfire suppressing urban centers. one of the fast moving places has destroyed several buildings in the city of west carolina. a further north cruiser trying to keep the flames away from yellow knife. the gap of the northwest territories had to go hand reports. this is why wild fires are so terrified in an instant it shifts grows, consuming everything, and everyone in its wake. oh my god. this was nicky lawyers view from the passenger seat at the very ends you where the right to the right. that is where we felt the most intense heat in the car. you could feel

a little bit of warm driving through it. but most of it, it was just the fear of all the rad. the read, the glow is all that lights up. the skies here in west cologne and british columbia were tens of thousands of people, have evacuated or been told to with a no numbers of homes and buildings already destroyed. we will start counting the number of houses when we stop fighting the fires that are burning today. soon as we know, we'll share the information. jeff and julie hoffman evacuated, but they said their community is keeping them updated on what they left behind, remotely. with doorbell cameras were on a facebook group, a community face for a group that just is posting constantly. here's how things look right now out the front door. it just gets piece people some peace of mind, a reassuring glance at their past, and they hope their future. after this experience that they say has only
