8:00 pm
from intimate moments to major social change, the witness award winning films from around and out to 0. the record number of migrants across from mexico into the us. we report on the dangers of their journey. i'm here on the mexican u. s. border where migrants have just crossed the rio grande river and are now in dire conditions as they traverse the barbed wire and take their 1st steps on us soil the
8:01 pm
serial. then yeah, it's great to have you with this. this is elsa 0 light from doha. also coming up in the program on the move, thousands of armenians abandoned their homes and newborn of carol back despite assurances from us or by john, that they will be 6 arrests in libby after devastating floods that pause to dams to collapse in the city of during the killing thousands so we're going to start with a growing crisis at the southern border of the united states. a large number of asylum seekers are continuing to crossover from mexico. let's go straight down to 0 . hydro castro you've been covering this for us. you are in eagle path, texas just near the rio grande. the people are crossing, i've just been looking at your shot and been seeing some pretty dramatic pictures just moments ago. what's happening?
8:02 pm
that's right. 0. these migrants have been through the waters. they have been waiting some of them overnight and then for hours underneath displeasing sun, and they are emerging with the help of us border patrol through this sick edge of razor wire fencing that was put here by the state of texas. and they are delicately step by step, taking their 1st steps on us soil. this is a very emotional moment. for many, we saw some praying, we saw some hugging kissing their children. noodling down to touch the soil with their fingers for the 1st time. and this is very difficult for many, just earlier a man collapsed after emerging from these wires. the heat exhaustion here is a real stretch. these are people who haven't had water, some of them overnight until now, and we're just desperately begging for this assistance to be allowed to cross through this razor wire. these are mostly adults. you are seeing of a merging now many telling me that there from venezuela having transverse many,
8:03 pm
many miles, kilometers of dangerous terrain to arrive at this point. but also there are some who have children. many of the children were picked up actually by boats, by us border agents, not having to climb up the banks and the razor wire. and now another child is actually coming. we're here. you know, these migrants also helping each other, prioritizing the wellbeing of those who seem the sickest or those who have children . and it's difficult. you're seeing people getting their backpacks. clothing caught in this razor wire. who that is indeed very sharp and 0 this. this is the sort of like the climax of their months long journey leading them to this point. so despite the dire conditions that many find themselves in most once they see us, they wave a smile. they say that this is the moment they feel like that they've made it. yeah, heidi, if you get a chance to talk to anybody like you tried to do yesterday,
8:04 pm
if you get a chance to ask them a question where they are from how they're doing, please go right ahead and we'll just follow your lead on this. these are the same people, you are showing us last hour and they were on the other side of the barbed wire. and they weren't able to move because there's no way for them to come up, do what they're doing now to come up on the embankment. so this is, this is what's a little confusing when you know, you look at it from the other side of the world is that it looks like us authorities are on the one hand trying to try them from coming in. and then at some point when there are too many people in this situation, just kids gets too dramatic to die or especially with cameras watching bill go ahead and cut up the barbed wire and, and help them in yes, that's exactly what is happening. it's those kind of push and again, once the pressure here is so high, that is when does he manage? hearing responds is elicited. and i will try to ask some of these people, or like almost always that is again going to show you how,
8:05 pm
how do you feel have been but then they can tell me. he says he's really, really tired, but he's, well, they don't, they ask, has that been it? so he's ferment as well. he for giving you which i want to say was the 2 plus and that's a now hardy something you don't know how to which has gras. yes. well, i just asked them a loaded question. i said, why don't you come? and he said many reasons. well, every reason to risk that for, for this the rest of this, you know, for the opportunity to emerge from a diary economy for the put per level persecution that they feel they're in during . and then as well. a lot of these people are also emerging in worse conditions. people, you know, just really having gone through this huge and, you know, just hopping, hobbling, trying to pour water on their children as, as quickly as they can reach it. it's a very tough situation. yeah. and if i'm not mistaken, the last words in his answer when you asked him why he was coming,
8:06 pm
was new for new horizons and looked this question that you asked him is the same question that us is going to be asking him. i assume within, within moments, right, he needs to have a reason to be there. and the reason the legal reason that that would allow him to stay would be if he manages to get asylum. how would that work? walk us through the next moments for those people. yeah, most of these people are going to walk a few more meters to what is a shaded area where they're going to be processed by us border patrol. they submit their names, are identity, and they will be asked, you know, they will be asked what, what their intention is. and they have to say that they want to claim asylum in the united states. and then the next step is to screen whether there is a likely chance that they'll even qualify to submit for asylum. and it's a very difficult hurdle to overcome. legally speaking,
8:07 pm
you have to not only face persecution in your home, separate race, religion, nationalities, social status, and they have to have the documents to prove that. no speaking with many of these individuals who are from venezuela, there is a special case in the sense that the bottom ministration. just last week, extend a temporary protections to venezuelans, to many venezuelans who are already in this country. actually they have to have arrived months, a go at that is due to the political situation in venezuela. so there's also sort of a gamble here, the people who are arriving newly, they're hearing what many are calling this information saying that they're being allowed to stay in the united states. when really that is the, the end of a long political process that may or may not turn out the way that they want. but it is true that feminist women's who were in,
8:08 pm
in this country already for several months, they can a quote, they can apply for temporary protection, meaning they can stay, at least for the time being. and all these other venezuelans following their footsteps are hoping to have the same and results. heidi, it's absolutely remarkable what you're showing as live. these are people who have come some of them from south america, others from central america. and they've obviously faced the great many dangers, heat and exhaustion. just one of them. some of them smugglers obviously is another . and now they are where they've been trying to go all along in the us. and now they're gonna have to face the us asylum system. and try to navigate that and as you explained to us in the past few hours, many of them will be turned back. that's heidi's ro, castro, reporting from the us mexico border. thank you. several people have been injured in a blast at the fuel station in the going oak, our back, the cause of the blast as a node. it happened this thousands of ethnic armenians flee the region after as
8:09 pm
a by chance take over this week. it comes as more than $3000.00 refugees have so far crossed into our media from the go. no camera back are as follows as a by john's decision to tighten its grip on the region of the last week ceasefire with the ethnic army and fighters. yeah, resign says it's preparing to take in tens of thousands more. who may flee from hello, choose a boss club. it was very dangerous there. they took out everybody. they could. people were fleeing and low res buses and cars. they used everything they could get into. we don't know what happens to us. next. is my name. we don't know what the government has in store for us. there is no chance of going back. if there were any chances we wouldn't leave and the 1st place it's very dangerous. there are some have been surveyed reports from election border crossing and also by john or there's been a city circle of people leaving the kind of a region. they say that it is no longer fit safe for them to stay here and they
8:10 pm
have to go and they've been packing whatever they could on top of they causing their boots and which ever vehicle they could use if you've been seeing the trucks coming in have you've seen, cause we have seen laurie's, we've seen everything that they could possibly use to pack whatever they can. and obviously it is not just the as an advisor, i need to have that in there. as well as the thing i mean is it is all being insured by russian peacekeepers as you can see in the trucks in the distance that they are also being patrolling this area that be showing their presence in both sides of this border crossing and telling people that they are okay to go the as of right, any government on that spot has been telling people that they should stay if they want to, but it is up to them, but they won't do state or leave. many people feel that because of the 3 decades of any mazda t between these 2 sides, it is going to be difficult for them to stay. and they're not believing the
8:11 pm
guarantees that are being given to them. as you saw, these calls have been checked, their names registered mail to passengers who are not the drivers are off to get off there cause they disembarked. they go through this processing beyond not crossing is armenia. that's where people are heading into knots where they're trying to find refuge. we've spoken to some of them who feel that it is not going to be easy sending this side, that they have to leave everything behind. and the few that there is no other option for them, but to leave the newborn no car about the region. the 1st us made abrams tanks have arrived in ukraine. president valid, a mirror of the landscape says that they will reinforce kids armored brigades, but he didn't specify how many tanks he received. washington has so far supplied a $113000000000.00 in defense and humanitarian aid to ukraine. since russia's invasion last the same is robbie has more from this is what is the most
8:12 pm
heavy duty pieces of equipment that ground units will be receiving so far? from the united states, joe biden pledged 31 abrams tanks earlier this year. they were supposed to be here sooner during zelinski strip in new york, she promised that the 1st delivery would be happening this week. and now the ministry of defense and presidency. let us see confirming that the 1st set of terms have now arrived what they're expected to change. well, there are some problems there a lot more difficult for the previous to operate compared to european counterparts, european terms of different using their more difficult to keep fueled and maintained. so we can look to what truly their intelligence is said in response to their arrival. they will be used specifically for well crafted plans. we don't want to use these tags. they're not as numerous as much of the other equipment that they have received. so we are likely to see them, perhaps not used to punch through russian lines. this is the effort right now in
8:13 pm
places like sacraments, that we are likely to see them perhaps used in the south of the country with the terrain is well suited to these types of fascinating vehicles and strong firing power and probably not used to push through russian lines, but they are likely to be used to take and hold positions of the ukrainians are hoping to get ahold of in the coming days weeks. ukraine says it killed the commander of russia's blacks, the fleet and a missed file strike last week road. victor sonco off is reported to have been killed in an attack on the fleet headquarters and sylvester ball in russian controlled crimea. ukraine says 34 russian officers were killed in the strike. russia's defense ministry said on the day of the attack, that one service man was missing. you will get a shovel. oliver has more now on russia's reaction to these reports. the west, a way seem to hear from the government. really trust the shows on the sure. as a remember right to answer the phrase as high calling do fleet headquarters,
8:14 pm
the russian defense ministry immediately reported one dead and done, correct. so the one missing serviceman. and since that they have been no updates on the number of casualties. and so the governor reported that the damaged part of the headquarters building had been demolished by control blasting. and at the moment, we don't hear anything about the rec construction prose is that it's, it's west nursing during any minute show for ations. little signs deliberately released, incorrect information about each other's action. so it is always very hard to figure out, well the tree of phase really 16 officials have been arrested as part of the investigation in libya into the flood disaster which kills thousands of to 2 dams, broke clean up operations are continuing after hundreds of bodies washed up on the shores in the days following the devastating floods and international conferences planned for next month to help reconstruction efforts of the house and has more from tripoli of the prosecutor general of libya has all the rest of civil current
8:15 pm
and former libyan officials. as part of his investigation to the disaster, that's like 2000. so that's in the city of done according to the prosecute the general. so the, a sort of several officials, including the head of the donald, i mean the municipality and the form that i caught in administer as of what the resources are risk funds are responsible for negligence and mismanagement. that led to this disaster of the report that was issued by the office of the prosecutor general stated that there would order the cracks and the gun since 1998 on uh, following uh several investigations unit got time. uh, there were uh, turkish companies that were giving contracts to maintain the dams and the old, and he started doing guy bought, following that evolution in 2011 everything freeze. and there was a budget that's was located on h. yeah. for these dams to be maintained yet,
8:16 pm
no one really dealt with that situation over here. does a very big question over what option was or what was only negligence or there was cut option in this on this side. so as we saw in the past couple of weeks, people in demo went through the streets and protested, uncalled for accountability to prosecute the general right now with his orders to detain these officials by be responding to these drug test center. these uh, calls for accountability. yes. it's a, it's, it's going to be a long process to receive whether these officials are going to pay for that negligence on mismanagement. i'd actually measure, as you know, typically molly's military leadership says that expects a small delay to the presidential election scheduled for february statement released on monday. so this was the technical reasons a see me going to has been entering presidents since 2021 after leading a military,
8:17 pm
prove it over through abraham bunker kate the previous year. because hack is following developments from set of goals. capital. a slight delay for this presidential election, but no date given just yet. the reason given by the molly and military gentile or the government of transition, is not the deteriorating security situation, but rather they are blaming a french company, a french company that holds the database of a large portion of the voters in this election. now this french company is saying that it is owed money over $8000000.00, and that it will hand over the database to the multi 1000000 engines that when it pays up. but of course, this delay in this selection comes as no surprise, given the deteriorating security situation. half a 1000000 children are not able to go to school because those schools are closed in
8:18 pm
schools that are normally used as holding stations. meanwhile, there's an uptick of a tax. it will be by the outside of philly, 8 mountain. the sides only slammed one with the mean who has effectively put in place almost 8, blockade of the historic town of timber of 2, but also of vermont rose. meanwhile, the number of displaced the number of people fleeing their homes because of these attacks continues to rise. nicholas hawk algebra 0 the car. it's still a head on alice's 0. we hear from the man under the hood of the infamous torture photos taken from iraq's upgrade prison, the from the stage to the streets. we look at how argentina's storing inflation is bringing the curtain down on many artists, the

8:22 pm
he is still waiting for justice. a warning door of yours. some may find the details of this 1st hand account, disturbing the how the someone, nobody could food. i was standing on the books. it's so strong, not breakable. they tied wires and started electric songs. i remember biting my tongue. my eyes felt that they were about to pump out and i started bleeding from under the mask. then i fell down as a cut on a lesson sunny hodges so that the victory show less than one percent of the truth. and what happened in the prisons, apple gray was one out of 75 sites, used as detention centers. what kind of human being can do such things to false people naked? sexually humiliated and searching broken would sticks into the sensitive parts until i bleed. electric shots to the genitals. they was say, this was humiliated. i was bitten by the old right here that i was naked in the
8:23 pm
cell. you know, there was no bed that meant to homeless by bringing the dog into the cell. how them in that this happened when they hand me on the wall, the handcuffs were here because of the weight of my body. the handcuff was cutting my hand into the windows almost running across another wave. torture was noise that being fixed because with an bearable, loud music. i think he left his 1000 years of great grandsons will receive our rights even those who were tortured by the nazis, by styling by hitler. now that getting their rights as a writer is in hollywood studios, say that they've reached a tentative deal that could end the strike that's lasted nearly 5 months. thousands of television and film writers stopped working in may, demanding better pay, greater rewards for successful shows and protection of their work from artificial intelligence. gabriel, arizona is in new york with more on the deal. it's a poor to point out that we actually haven't seen all of the details yet of this
8:24 pm
tentative agreement. but what we're hearing from various sources is that the writers did get an agreement for increased compensation, particularly when it comes to shows on the streaming platform streaming becoming wildly popular just in the last few years. now, also a minimum staffing writers had been wanting to get some sort of agreement that there would be some minimum staffing and they have appeared to reach an agreement on that. and also, and this was key. there appears to be some concessions from the big studios for about artificial intelligence. of course, there was concern by the writers and artificial intelligence could take away some of their jobs. and there appears to be some concessions on that in terms of protecting their jobs as well. again, we'll have to see this entire agreement in full before we can get all of the details. but it appears that this tentative agreement certainly will in that the writers strike again,
8:25 pm
it needs to be signed off by the union membership and the next week or 2. when it goes to vote. it's important to point out as well that actors, tens of thousands of actors remain on strike. now the studios will focus their attention on working out a deal with them. argentina is grappling with its highest inflation rate in nearly 3 decades. the worsening economy has pushed millions into poverty, including many artists who are now struggling to make a living traceable reports from the streets of the capital window situs. and this is probably a lot of going comes to this last name where the site is to perform every sunday. the country's dying wrinkling on a crisis has made it difficult for the we known 77 year old activity to find work elsewhere. we have never been like this. it is what generates a sadness on how the country has impulsively shed us, or medical expansion is around a $100.00 a month. and he relies on it to make
8:26 pm
a living. but i guarantee they struggling with a very high inflation in august, the rate was more than 12 percent gray. this is a rich country, a country that can feed millions of people and still we have millions who go hungry . how do you explain that to check the full? yeah. don't know. argentine as economy is going, i think this is the place so currency and it's worth 50 percent less than it was 6 months ago. prices are storing, the government has increased pensions and cash $10000.00. by for most people in this country, it is not enough. argentina has a prominent film and feeder industry. recently as a member of the argentine act was labor union. he says that industry has not been able to recover since they've been damaged. yes, our no, we haven't been able to go back to the level of production we had before. and so making ends and see it as this economic crisis doesn't help. it's difficult to open
8:27 pm
new markets and distribution chains. there's many actors who struggle out the countries high inflation rate is the main issue in the next month. presidential election far right candidate have you had really, who has a real chance of becoming argentina's next president is promising to cut public spending and to don't arise. the economy has been competing with a chain. so as a way of showing how he's going to do it, we lease up against form or security minister, but the sale will reach and ruling parents, party economy, cheese set of human who's calling for popular tax cuts for workers. and because of this, yeah, because i don't believe in masonic discourses like malays, i believe in democracy. i want a government that's controlled by congress and not by degree. whoever wins the presidency will have to deal with difficult economic scenarios and the millions of origin times for doing everything they can to survive the sample. i'll just see
8:28 pm
that when a site is and that's it for me 0, then the next is whether then inside story looks at the cost of, of the risks posed by the latest violence. there any impact it might have on international peace efforts to stay without 0. we are back at the top of the hour the the route to you by visit cut off a few weeks ago. greece was effectively under water. there's too much, right? there's substantial, substantial flooding. now this more cheryl has folding now and the has been a warning of the local likelihood of funding from them. but it's a brief period last 2 or 3 days and they're nothing like as big as a dime pulse it. costs are funding nevertheless, that might be concerned for some is drawing to the east of that mr. took care and
8:29 pm
certainly for libya it is dry and then i would like to share with her possibly the next day, a certain number back. and there been some significant shots around us by john and those in the wrong that light. now we might see sometimes don't building for the south and saudi arabia o yemen. but the overcast conditions is filled out. i've just back gone out the edge of the monsoon, not really there anymore, although it hasn't gone, it's just across the other side, the baby and ceased to bring us some pretty heavy rain to india. now in that retreating month. so you do tend to get more rain in somalia, jo pierre, and maybe you can, can you? and there's a little bit around the coast, which really isn't much considering what should be right. the biggest shares of cost will be finding the i'll see you for this aspect. go to and for the next couple of days through 1st the west and then the east and k for the south africa where it's very wet and very windy. the weather brought to you by visit cut some for some little boat is
8:30 pm
a mechanical or even that self driving train. the vehicle that androids today can be human. only robots, like me, will be everywhere else. is here a documentary, which lead on the weird and wonderful world of global land think and even trust. i feel like on the line, but i know i on the machine origins of this is a policeman shop, said anne knowles, in cost of a sub gunman killed in a modest receives. it's the latest vaughn and the best point between s next us and albany. and so how damaging is this to international peace efforts and kind of a loss in solution as will be found? this is inside story, the
