it was one of the wells highest inflation rates and frequent how to choose signing ts was ruled since independence in 19 x would come, the opposition exploring really discontent over the soaring cost for the big symbolic way to let the political storm hillary make sense holding next kind of a balanced award, southern california where they're all warnings of catastrophic floods. the ones that are around that are like my headquarters here in the also coming up polls plays that included with most unpredictable presidential election in yeah, as well as my wave of gang violence on less than an hour of voting left in
2:01 am
guatemala, where an empty corruption kenzie that goes head to head with a full month's sized lady, and we may make history update for full woke up stainless to try people the very 1st time between england. one the welcome to the program. millions of residents of southern california, a warning of life threatening floods of tropical storm memory makes its way know from mexico. they may land full in the mexico northern states of baja, california. the storm is not by running towards the southern california in the us. why full cost is a warning of flash floods, mudslides high winds and power outages about this was the scene in baja, california. what cause was swept away? can i at least one person beyond the headset? a dozens of shouts as to those whose homes with damaged or in the us. millions of
2:02 am
people in southern california have now been advised to stay at home, is to venture right. and that's as parts of the region full cast as a warning. residents of catastrophic and life threatening floods. hillary is expected to bring $25.00 centimeters of rain on parts of the states as well as neighboring nevada. some areas further north in the state of oregon and idaho, also expected to see heavy rain and possible flash flooding. let's go say that to palm springs, california was it was rob rentals is standing by what's the latest radio where you are because this is very fast moving. stole rob. so as just as millions of people all across southern california were nervously hunkering down amid these warnings of the raft of hurricane of the tropical storm. hillary a 5 point one magnitude, earthquake, get the region centered a bit north of los angeles. that's pretty much the last thing anybody need and then
2:03 am
just goes to show that in california land of disasters. it's the one thing after another and nobody knows what's going to happen next. but my money is on possible space aliens. but we all levity aside these warnings are very, very serious of catastrophic and life threatening flooding throughout southern calvary. and particularly in areas like this in the desert. low line desert areas where flash flooding is uh of almost inevitable right result of a heavy rainfall. and the rainfall is going to be extreme more rain in the parts of the desert area, light palm springs than this area normally gets in, in the entire year is going to fall in one day according to forecast or so. again, people are being told to stay inside, stay off the roads, it looks from this vantage point, at least that that is what is happening that uh,
2:04 am
the streets in this town are practically empty. the rain is coming down harder. and hillary is barreling northward, towards this area at about 40 kilometers per hour of pictures that we can see the same time draw ball road preparations by people in long beach also where you are in palm springs are filling some bags. the police aren't trying to help them. what sort of advice besides staying at home? all real, socrates giving because getting out company hazardous, as we mentioned in the introduction or yes going out can be hazardous. so people were urged to make their final preparations, stock up on food water, any other necessities they might have a by saturday and then stay at home on sunday. so now it's the middle of the afternoon on sunday. and that seems to be mostly from my observation in any event, what's, what has come, what has happened in addition to uh, handing out sandbags and giving people an opportunity to show up their houses for
2:05 am
flooding authorities in the, in this city and in los angeles and other cities have paid special attention to homeless residents who often live or stay in dry washes river beds. uh and that sort of thing. uh that sort of place where they can pitch a tent but are uniquely susceptible to uh, very, very dangerous flash flooding. so here in palm beach for, excuse me, palm springs, for example, uh lease have been going into some of the dryer, roys and washers, and urging people to get out, go to shelter as some shelters have opened up here. uh also they are uh, the mayor of los angeles has opened shelters for hundreds of people in for city. talk to you of course will continue to monitor events with you. that roberto is foresight in palm springs. the,
2:06 am
the codes because of the way that google's presidential and parliamentary elections security was tied throughout the day with a 100000 police officers and soldiers deployed these. that's the nation of presidential hopefuls that none the beloved in. since you put the country spiraling gang violence in spotlights, the killing has re shuffle. the electro cards with none of the 8 content is expected to get to an absolute majority. well, that may lead to a rental for the october leading the polls before the village vinson's use mode. it was louisa gonzalez, a lawyer from the left, his party of the full of president rafael, clear political analysts say the candidate to has seen the biggest boost to his popularity is the right wing businessman. yeah, and the topic of a leading candidates all right. tween full, but presidential vice president all to southern hudson and leftist indigenous lawyer. yeah, cool habits. i'll just there was lots of america edited lucy and even has been as
2:07 am
upholding station for much of the day and joins us not from the capital t to. so the polls are closed, the counting begins, but we won't get the results for a few days. it seems, let's see me as well, actually we will, we will have a pretty good idea if there's, if anyone will win in this for selection or if it's going into a run off in about 3 hours time. but i've been up several upholding stations throughout the day. in this particular one we've been watching very carefully as the results are read out. the votes counted, and they've been a lot of surprises. let me tell you that i've been to 3 different parts of the school or holding station, and the candidate representing the slain and to corruption. journalist in finance, it'll be sense you'll is doing extremely well even though voters don't even know him. his hasn't even had a week to campaign with this whole. he represents the this hard line stance against
2:08 am
corruption and against the drug trafficking. so he's doing it very well. we're also see that unreasonable incentives who had been the absolute favors up until that assassination is perhaps leading in some places, but she doesn't seem to have enough votes to make it in this 1st round. and then in fact, there's another way to say dark horse that's coming into at the very end of this race that is causing a lot of surprises. and that is 35 year old done, you know, was he's getting a lot more votes than anyone would have predicted, because he has a non politician and a lot of people he spoke to said we both for him because he doesn't belong to the political class. so that's something seems to be a no, we don't know. it's still too early to tell whether this is really a trend that will last until all the votes are counted. the electoral council has a vote counting center where they will be announcing in a couple of hours. in fact, in about an hour and a half, it'll be giving the 1st initial results. so while it will be absolutely official
2:09 am
until a few days from now, we will have a pretty good idea of what's happening here. and it goes to see a, you know, you have be not about pulling station monitoring those across the country throughout the day. people are enthusiastic to vote by as states, but of course, as such, a nation of that presidential hopefuls really highlighted all of its sorts of different issues that people are concerned about from security to inflation, from, from climate change to the economy. what do they be saying to you and what some sense do guess about what's important to the vote to it's very clear that what's important to the voters from practically everyone that we've spoken to is 1st and foremost, security, or the lack of that. then the economy, the lack of jobs, 70 percent of the door ins are under employed or unemployed. it's a huge, huge problem in this country that's led to mass in a to a mass exodus of ecuador ins to other countries. and then of course we have the,
2:10 am
the, the issue of the environment. and that's another interesting thing i can, i can that, you know, we've just seen the initial results of the referendum. where, where um, if we don't have to vote today on whether or not to van oil production and extraction in the yeah, so nice national park that's in the ecuadorian amazon region. and so far it seems that the majority of the doors have voted just hold all production of oil in that very sensitive ecological hotspot. so interesting things happening. we don't have, as i say, the exact name, the final results for that. there is an indication that the people here are voting in favor of conservation more than an inspection, oil and minerals, the c a thanks very much for the update. leasing even though latin america, editor in key to as soon as possible. and so have less than an hour left to vote in the presidential rental selection the send to let's come to the now the value appears to be the front run that he's reading on an empty corruption platform is
2:11 am
competitive is the conservative candidate subject torres a spoke with this lady, now this is her 3rd attempt at the presidency. corruption, poverty, and violence have been some of the main issues of h, as in central america's most populous nation level dot product is life. is that upholding station in the capital cost of all of us that he gets? i see a man. well, he wants to mood lie coming. you. you've been able to assess the attitude of the electorate who's being arriving at the paulding stations throughout the day. i and that's what it's a hell, we've been getting a pretty good sense of how people are feeling here in the guatemalan capital. general sense is that people are feeling good. the mood is pretty jovial throughout the course of the day. folks have been showing up here with their children so that they can sort of have a taste for themselves of uh, of the democratic process here in the nation's capital. look at part of this has to do this, this, the sort of sense of happiness has to do with the fact that we're now in the final stretch of the selection. we're less than an hour away. at this point from the
2:12 am
polls. closing people are anxious for an end to, to what's been a very sort of controversial election season and let a campaign season that's been marred by allegations of fraud allegations of election interference. and uh and uh, this information campaigns here in the country. now one thing that we have heard. 1 repeatedly from election observers throughout the course of the day is low voter turnout simply just not as many people showing up to vote for this for an off election as they did for the primaries. there haven't been as far as we've been able to see for ourselves or, or hear any sort of reports from electoral observers of any sort of irregularities or novelties within the electoral process. so that certainly is good news, should also note there somewhere around a 1000 electoral observers deployed throughout the country here in guatemala, to make sure that everything goes well to make sure that they can help support what
2:13 am
is otherwise been a very sort of um again, that term inc, 6 anxious, a lot of anxiety over the potential for political crisis. that hasn't really fizzled out completely here in the country. you would have had me speaking to, uh, let's see a just a short while ago about sort of the issues that people are worried about, you know, it through whether it's inflation or climate change varies issues. how fall is crime and insecurity. a concern amongst the votes as, as, as you've been speaking to. and then through the day i, i was listening to that 2nd. but with our latin american editor, let's see a new been about what's on voters minds in ecuador, and it really does resonate with the voters here in guatemala as a, as well, like we're talking to people here at this voting said are a lot of people are are well aware that there is election is going on in ecuador, and a lot of the same issues that voters, they are care about are the issues that people care about here. the economy were sitting poverty and of course, insecurity. but when it comes to the issue of insecurity each year in guatemala,
2:14 am
it's worse it in crimes linked gaming to games like extortion, extortion linked to police officers as well. and each one of these candidates has their own um, own strategy own government plan that they'd like to see implemented in the case of the candidates son that a daughter is a one thing that we are hearing from her is a plan to implement a security strategy similar to that of el salvador and their president, neighbor, kelley, building more prisons deploying the military to police, the streets, mass, incarceration. she's famously been quoted saying that human rights are for the victims, not for the criminals. conversely, when you hear the, the security strategy for the center left candidate that bought a little, he wants to implement a new type of training program for police who wants to create a new police force. but again, when it comes to these different challenges facing guatemalans, the next president,
2:15 am
whether it be the economy, where that, whether it be in security, poverty, corruption, these are not fixes that are easy to implement. this is not something that the incoming president is going to be able to fix overnight, or maybe even within that 4 year term that the presidents in guatemala are limited to. but what we hear overwhelmingly from political experts here, the country is that what's needed is a long term strategy. a long term plan for long term prosperity in the country sale will continue to follow up events with you in the right account, as well as what happens to the bubble wrap, living glass of all the cities. thank you. as well as still a head here all the houses, there are thousands of people are evacuated from western canada, but hundreds of wildfires are tearing through the communities and rushes thus mood, admission. it always 50 years engines insanely at those stories. after the break, the
2:16 am
brought to you by visit capital. there's your headlines for the americas. thank you so much for joining in. we're tracking this slug of rain moving up chile getting closer to the capital of santiago. looks like a very wet forecast. ahead and certainly we could see some flooding here. struct with some solid bands of rain along the pacific coast of columbia. that energy is also spilling into panama and for central america. so our usual scattering of showers and storms, but particularly for the eastern caribbean here, got a lot of wet weather in the mix. now for the us desert southwest, it is all about hillary, california. as we look toward arizona and nevada. some of these states could pick up to more than a years worth of rain over the next little bit. there will be flooding here and there will be much sites. now as we look at this batch of, we start to actually see a port in to oregon and also montana state. but this is good news because we do have some wildfire as burning here. so that will help to dallas. the flames wins
2:17 am
turnaround, just to touch. so that means the temperature in toronto is now down to $27.00. look at the senior up to 35, but if you think that's hot, we've got to go to the us called states. we've set some records here. temperature is pretty close to 40 degrees. for example, in arkansas, little rock, we've got your pencil then for 39 on monday, see in a bit low as i go to you by visit cuts on inspirational women. we wanted to gather the largest number of young man and showed that entire nearing performers was the 1st to male z to play it in. jordan to senior well celebrates couple emails and taking traditional outage in a new direction. they go on stage, it's motivates other girls to join citizen. so jordan and egypt pon outages here the,
2:18 am
[000:00:00;00] the book about you want to go to 0, lisa hill rom, and in the hall reminder of all told stories, millions of people in southern california and a tropical storm warning is hurricane hillary booth. no, it's at least one person that has been killed by flash floods in mexico, posing guns them all as presidential run a selection all set to close. congressman beth, and now the armando is the front runners facing also getting to be pulled with the states. sounds of the toners and the kind of because of the way in, at kudos presidential and parliamentary elections. jersey was tied throughout the
2:19 am
day with 100000 police officers and soldiers deployed. let's bring in heavy a 5. yeah. who's a political on that list. join us on line from loved them. good to have you with us on the program. there are many challenges ahead ready for the candidates. certainly in the ecuadorian election, the promising more or less the same. but what issues distinguish the pots in your opinion? and because of just as he made jonathan under the same seal, it is clear that while the pope issues is crime, she wants us to sedated a by organized crime by columbia and a heap men tied by a local district creating a crime gun which worked full it makes it contract cut tells me this is extremely important because the 1st example i want to play 5 is because on your exit book, this is not official. the 1st exit poll published by r t o to turn the tv kind of puts elisa gonzales from the, from a place you didn't. a 5 go else potty on. pope daniel noble. a 2nd,
2:20 am
as people respond on rightly said in 8 for the 3rd is john toby. jeff toby is so far, right? we, on the date was today the same office, the us, but basically in the you will get, it has taken your thought about though a person who's been accused, we'll see you to solve the issue of human rights in the proceedings while he's trying to find history con english, some of which is extremely serious. so we may have to be seen who's going to be sick. but making sure the moment is basically crying because of destination in front of you ever since your, on the, on the 9th of august, but also the column based on the about change. so people want to talk about jobs, this extreme blaming. so over to you can function is very high, but destination are going to be sent. you obviously a customizable nice now of clifton fleet, the who we place another be central. so the candidate of his body, it'd be, we, it remains to be seen how he's going to be doing at the moment is clear that we sort of a solace from the form a of a former, but she's in the perfect progress pots, the season for pollution is going to be in the book,
2:21 am
but she's not going to win in the 1st well conclusion to know who's going to be in the 2nd place. right. well, we'll have to wait and see, i suppose, as the votes accounted being that we talk about crime and how to deal with that. we've heard in the weeks leading up to the selection. there are issues with the security forces, the lack of confidence and the judiciary. the issues with the prison service added security around convicts all of these costs money and all of this will take time to fix. whoever does win the election has got a huge task ahead of them. so why do they start? that's a very good question. first of all, there is money for that. the richard inquiry, i have suspended any contribution any help for the united states when he was president, even though they provide crime that makes things even worse. so at the moment they will not be able to will not be able to find this, brought the most and forget that these drugs cooked as we make while the work for the mexican drug captives. what um, what are the nice, well finance, and therefore
2:22 am
a lot of money is going to be needed. and with the help of the united states, it's good to be almost impossible for any government. what it, what gets elected to do something about the situation with this put was, and the last i would say 10 years. these, as i said to these guys that way, very well organized very well support. they having to pay to the sherry, having to pay to the police forces in the dental, the corrupting dog, this sort of people that makes it very difficult for a new government provided. so you will have to be with international cooperation. there's no question about that. they will have to invest a great deal of money, but also it depends very much whether the distance is supposed to be so hot that it would be a risk of violations of human rights, which is what's happened in the field. so yes, i've got the f b i has been sent to what the investigate the be central's us as a nation. we don't know what to do with the beginning of a new process of cooperation with the united states in relation to fighting crime. the youngest unit this, they used to have them. let me tell you basis in the front door in order to find a sort of
2:23 am
a drug cartels. whether they are going to go back and get them to start working again with the quarter and government quarter selected, that remains to be seen. but without the help, it's going to be impossible for any government to fight successfully. the credit done with the guns, and these, a drug test that actually operating in ecuador would put that in germany. italy at an interesting time, is that a difficult job with whoever does become the next president of a copier? thanks for joining us from london. its thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate west in canada, maybe 400 wildfires of raging another 30000 people have been told to prepare to leave the homes in the province of british columbia. canada is having as well as 15 seasonal record with at least a 1000 fires, bending across the country. things are looking better. um we are finally feeling like we're moving forward rather than we're moving backwards.
2:24 am
and that's a great feeling for all of us to have him saying that make no mistake, there will be difficult days ahead. canada has deployed troops to tackle the vast spending wall fast. the prime minister justin to day says every canadian should step up to help out of the way. however, they kind of canadians across the country, particularly out west, are stepping up to help their fellow citizens, their neighbors, residents who are fleeing for their lives. many cases have lost everything, and these are things where emergencies happen and canadians pull together. and it's, it's always comforting to see the federal government is continuing to stop up where there with canadian armed forces resources were active in coordinating with regional and local governments to make sure people are safe, make sure we're doing everything to protect lives, property, spell it for over to say the ongoing,
2:25 am
