8:24 am
a new way of the 3 countries that allow commission waiting. i had him, his government has launched a new campaign to try and stem the flow of my daughters to one of the most dangerous places in the world. the diary and get rec, pulled numbers of people are trying to cross the difficult jungle terrain with drug traffickers. operation panama says it's struggling to process the influx of people and the pollution been leaving behind. alejandra rom, piet, the reports from diarrhea and province another day. another record number of arrivals at this migrant center on the edge of the diarrhea and jungle exhausted men. women and children get in line to get registered by pennsylvania, no tories most of come from venezuela, haiti, or cuba. others have travelled from as far away as train and so then hoping to reach the united states. some can barely stand after suffering injuries in their treacherous journey. those with the $40.00 for a bus,
8:25 am
stick it to the border with cost that week i get ready to leave. others like engine link, test the your nurse 65 year old daughter of pondering their next move. she says they were robbed in the jungle and barely survived. we had to offer people for a piece of cry cause minus a go other. this will go to a sometimes we run out. i felt exhausted before reaching the best can do. i had to do most strengths, but i prayed to be able to continue to my children. this for years, a growing number of migrants have been forced to pay criminal groups to cross to the young jungle between columbia in panama. nobody knows how many have died trying to get away from them. and you know, tori does say their numbers have more than doubles this year. 70000 people in august alone. the expect to reach 450000 arrivals by the end of the year. a number that is overwhelming, panama is capacity to process them and also polluting the once pristine jungle with
8:26 am
the fact that we can fronting the biggest migration phenomenon in the will. and we're trying to do it in the most responsible way. but we're also inviting the rest of the countries in both the origin transit countries like ours and the destination to jointly shared responsibilities. in april, the united states upon our mind, columbia agreed to try and crack down on the smuggling rings. that brings the migrants through the jungle. that's part of my sense that due to a lack of information sharing and have joint action, i'm part of the columbia. nothing gets happens to some migrants here. so i didn't understand how dangerous the trick was going to be. inborn, others, i certainly police students, asians, africans, people from one of these don't take this risk. it's like that. some of us make it through an of then called is not enough to do it. so problem getting shots, everything in the general concrete, north carolina, but clean conflict and the dream of a better life, remain irresistible for many migrants, ready to risk it all in
8:27 am
a crisis that continues to grow. allison, the, get the address either panama, mexico is opposition. coalition has named this candidate for next is presidential election. the block has put 60 year old set it to so cim. gov is a computer engineer with indigenous routes will actually go head to head with another female candidates representing the ruling party. the one a would become the country 1st female president to the was longest running film festival has opened in venice. but this is red carpet and italy isn't as busy as usual. many hollywood stops and directs us a staying way in support of actors and vices who are on strike. sonya dia, google has of all a there was no shortage of blitz, but it was a distinctly european steel. the seat on the red carpet would still make cuz actors
8:28 am
and even a police file, right, deputy prime minister, one thing was lacking a big hollywood presence. despite highly anticipation still releases the ongoing strike by american actors and writers, binding them from promoting films of a shadow the event. it may have brought the us entertainment industry to a standstill. but in venice that will support. i've done this holiday already with the writers, and the actors as like, verified is a fight for also makers and it's against create and profit that the opening ceremony tribute was paid to 90 year old attorney and director liliana kalani. the 1st woman ever to win the golden blind lifetime achievement to award. she called for greater recognition of female filmmakers. so long as she needs the 3 children, geez, the, the women screen writers and directors who are working. he probably what just as well as the men, if we look at the what carefully, if we give them the opportunity to be seen,
8:29 am
this is something i believe the festival should consider. that last i didn't say i don't see that a let me close, don. king of the festival, the world war 2 drama by direct to eduardo, dan, jealous, come on down to based on a historical event, it tells the story of an a tale and sub marine commander who risk the life of his crew to rescue belgians. sailors who ship, he had sunk in the atlanta, the other films, making that debut in venice. priscilla direct us with the a couple of us film based on the band was of the wife of elvis presley. the and i was calling today a soft time imagining there were a ton of lead to of chinese military dictatorship. i will still be to share as a 250 year old vampire living in a rundown mansion before you might have worked on them. you know,
8:30 am
so that is part of an absence of most american filmmakers. a message from this is julie president who was allowed to attend does he wasn't promoting a film. that's one of sarah. i think felina, instead of best, the vegas shooting them out loud and clear for all of hollywood to hit sony guy jago, how does era the again, i'm elizabeth front them and or how the headlines on challenges they are on lotions and single pull are electing the next president, 3 candidates, some of the running to replace them company telling me you all called the relative mainly ceremonial, but has some significance powers. the selection is the 1st to be contested in more than a decade. tony chang has the latest from outside upholding center and single pool. it's rather interesting this time, i think the fact that this is the 1st election in more than
