higher area that stretches in this direction was completely submerged. many of the homes and buildings that were destroyed are still rubble. and parts of this district had started the flood once again, the the 10s of thousands of people are making a dangerous journey through a bus, a life in the us with countries across the region know struggling to cope. i'm doing the home on the guatemala mexico food where record numbers of people being crossing that river trying to get to the united states. and i'm going to see a new woman in that that young gap, which has been described as the most treacherous part of the attorney. thousands of language that you can see here in

the, i'm sammy's a, them, this is, i'll just say we're a live from the hall. so coming up opposition? candidates in them all these my, i'm with my 0 wins. the presidential rentals. it's been a day full of twists and turns, but the american people can breathe a sigh of relief. the us congress, naturally of a government chunk down. so now, no money approved for ukraine plus the 74 years since the founding of the people's republic of china. we take a look at the challenges facing present seating thing. the . the 10s of thousands of people are walking, food,

fracture is jungles and waving through tub in bolters in central and south america . the hoping for a better life in the us. many a fleeting violence, while some of seeking a way out of poverty and desperate living conditions was making the journey from south america face a particularly dangerous obstacle. the diary and gap stretch of jungle between columbia and panama, the number of people crossing it to sit directly would hire 400000. this yeah, i'll just here is john holman, is in southern mexico near the boat with wal tamala, to reveal the conditions bad 1st life in america, editor, the sea, and human the report from the dairy and gas. i mean the guardian gap and this is baffled to keep the 1st populated area where it has it doesn't have running water. it doesn't have electricity, but at least, but it does have occasional wi fi and the migrants can stop for a while. there is an outpost, the health health office, very,

very small. the places at full of mud people are coming here. they've been, they're desperate. in fact, because they were rob to the majority of the people in the to the you see here were rob, a few women were raped. things are getting more and more dangerous, more difficult here in this passage through that, that in gap on the attempted trip. cuz united states, but still the people just keep coming every day or so it's between 3 and 5000 migrants passes through a small indigenous hamlets in the that in jungle. close to the end of a treacherous journey to the 130 kilometer long. that didn't get the thing go. yeah, 5 long days indicates christopher they braced scorching heat, much mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, contaminated river water and vengeance. equal to y'all, hopefully that in both our group was robbed at gunpoint due to all over money and

food, the fritz, the women's chest, to see if we were hiding our money there. and they made it when i were joining this group on the last leg of their jungle crossing. you may wonder how all of these people don't get lost in the jungle. something that is so easy to do. and the reason that they don't release the majority of them don't, is that they're told to follow these markers. they're blue pieces of blue plastic, that service ribbons, and they go all the way down outside of this jungle. everyone who's hands to prove balance while crossing the river into back, which you keep the old modern phone. you somebody i know kerry, he's handicapped suddenly the entire journey. he says he had to leave in is late because there are no end to compulsion drugs there. but his son, one vehicle, the baby who is being treated right now is suffering from diarrhea, vomiting and fever. but he is not the only one just about everyone who's come here to this health center has exactly the same symptoms or even worse. no one comes out

of the jungle with nothing unscathed. just outside women screams and p as another things really migrate. i mailed verse treats are for trench foot. scores of people can barely walk in your mind. you tells me is traumatized on the why are still open as well. and woman with a baby died after she fell into the water when she slipped on a rock. too many people are dying in a jungle. it's hill on us. the next morning the migrants form an endless line to get a seat on the feet. our long could do like boots. that would bring them 3 hours down river to a town where they can get a bus to the cost to recover. the majority of it is wailings, but it's becoming more like the united nations people have come from as far away as china and the lease and africa. also hoping to make it to the united states

as they need a new group of rights. they seem to think that they could have survived that, that'd be a gap and also across the us border. even though objectively the words could still be a hit. to see and human al jazeera that in depth, panama. and now here's john home and that the mexico guatemala border with thousands of people are waiting to cross, while the mexican government struggles to cope with the unprecedented numbers. this is the suggest, the river, which is the border between guatemala and mexico. here and every day, 6000 people have been crossing over the river to get to mexico and continue to the united states. according to the mexican government, which is said that it's overwhelming, you can see over here that there are tense where people are camping, waiting for buses from the mexican government to take them on in the route and to the pressure rights of the government says this area you'll see more in our pool

mich koses, it's over. well, that's 6000 migrants today. crossing here, the southern border and looking to push on twits, know the name of the united states is this to any of us had quite exceeds whatever capacity we have. even the mexico wants to do a good job and use the many, the 1st city they reach is tough to, to, to just a few kilometers from the guatemalan buddha. it's food to over flowing. people have been queuing to days outside of mobile asylum, old you the papers, try and get through the country. but we've been here for 4 days. sleeping on the floor. it's rained on us, then the sun. we sleep in the queue so we don't lose our place and the government, so we can always buses to and it's what the pressurized temperature and take people to be processed in another nearby city. some people want to go over the route,

but there are not enough seats. so another comes in that the, by the roadside with money is stephanie. and the family a way to i, you know? some people have time. we don't, we lost everything after leaving the diary and got and so has been out in the open . and if it trains wherever we go into shelter and with the children to the funeral maneuver buddha, the same story, i want to see it as quite as matamoros who migrant cities or full. this is just a small number of the people heading through top of to the mexico right now. where are they from someone from venezuela, a country where 7000000 people have left in recent years, playing a ruined economy summer from hate see playing terrible game violence and hunger in that country. a visit from cuba, a visit from nicaragua. there's various countries in this region right now that

have political instability or economic instability, an order of them hoping to find something better in the united states. other countries that they're traveling through are also struggling with the rush coastal resources. just to clear the state of emergency met some president lopez over the door, has cooled for regional governments to meet and try and hash out a plan. first of all of a sudden it is uh, you know, meanwhile those at the hall, this continue the journey, sleeping rough suffering hung up and extortion. only the dream of safety and prosperity in the united states keeps them going on home and out. is it a tough tutor? in the us? immigration is turned into a campaign issue ahead of next year's presidential vote active, as se migrants and asylum seekers of being turned into political pools. john henry reports from phoenix, arizona. this republicans are making the surgeon illegal migrants the main issue in

the 2020 for presidential campaign. if you come here illegally, we will apprehend you and we will send you back militarize the southern border stock funding st. george cities. it's a winning issue, according to a september nbc pool. it found that 50 percent of americans think the republican party does a better job of dealing with border security. only 20 percent. say democrats to politically. it's an easy, escaped up political science professor, lisa mcdaniel says it's convenient to demonize and documented migrants. it's an easy way to blame the issues on it is a target and because emigrants cannot vote, i think that happens quite a bit get across the us. americans remain stubborn, lee, proud to call their home a nation of immigrants. more than 2 thirds of americans. 68 percent. think immigration overall is a good thing. according to a july gallup poll. or even if people gotta come here for better life,

there should be able to but that number is the lowest level of support for immigration in a decade. you having this huge rise in crime and this huge human surprise. the fentenol that makes that is large in parts of this massive illegal immigration voters are divided with 73 percent of republicans wanting to decrease immigration with just 18 percent of democrats feel the same at state capitals and mayors. offices across the u. s. lawmakers are struggling to cope with the cost of the migrant search, and it's not just border states like arizona that are feeling the pain. in chicago and other liberal sanctuary cities bus loads it mostly venezuelan refugees arrive every week. ship from the border by texas governor gray gap. it prompts in a political battle over immigration. for many, the welcome is less than war. a spot on the police station floor, or public sidewalks. if your car, you know, and they deport you well, have

a nice trip home. if they don't catch you welcome to america. show more and more illegal migrants come to live in twilight status. the often can't be resolved without an act of congress in a nation that hasn't taken on comprehensive immigration reform in decades. john henry and l g 0, phoenix, arizona. the, the us congress has prevented a government shot down with just ours to spat both the senate and the house and pos, the temporary measure to extend government funding by 45 days. but the plan does not include additional funding for ukraine officer opposition from some republican politicians. president joe biden, this now signed the bill into law. it's been a day full of twists and turns, but the american people can breathe

a sigh of relief. there will be no government shut down. democrats have said from the start that the only solution for avoiding the shut down is by partisanship. and we're glad that speaker mccarthy has finally heated our message. which invites is a security and defense on the list that we can strike global consultancy. he says a to crying is not a divisive issue at this moment for the us congress. in this particular vote appear to have been through a combination of factors that made it easier not to include the ukraine assistance in this particular bill. but it's still the case that i'm a sure the republicans and almost all the democrats support the a door. and another way of looking at are almost all the senate and most of the house. so they've voted on the issues separately with pass. still

a good chance will be included and then november ele, that will occur $45.00 days after today. you are approximately that time and there's penny got. it says it still has some money left over. so it's not an immediate problem. but we are seen in the united states and apparently in the still vakio vaccines and l square some decline, and the people dollars willingness to support the candidates who want to give a lot of 8 new crane. in slovakia a pro russian policy says it's one of the parliamentary elections. smith fall to a full my left, this prime minister of what fits so is leading with 23 percent of the boat. maybe old balance of being counted. he'll need allies though to form the next governments . the policy wants to end the tree, aid for ukraine. main rival progressive slovakia where the favorites and exit polls because at least 16.7 percent in the mall. dave's,

the opposition can to them how much, why is there is one side today's presidential run of was the one's close at times with china at the time when india is increasing its economic influence in the island nation. he's defeated the incumbent president. abraham certainly is accused of having an india 1st approach during his campaign wiser promise to remove indian troops from them. all. these is also promising to balance trade relations, which he said heavily favored new deli, an attorney chang is with us from a polling station in the mo, the capital molly. so how much of a shift does this represent in regional politics, tony? very hard to say at this stage, i think a lot of the campaign rhetoric that particularly about the india 1st policy was designed to attract attention to a chang boats. in reality, india is deeply and meshed in the finances of the mold. these in trades,

in infrastructure drugs inside the us just behind me as an enormous bridge currently being billed to a new, reclaimed land territory. that's going to be the size of a new port, new housing. and that's all fundamentally important for the growth, the holidays. and i think it would be very hard even if he wanted to see if adult similar is the stuff that that said he is said very public the he favors china. china has been very deeply involved in financing a lot of infrastructure growth here in them. all of these for their problems the, to, in the most of these has very considerable debt. so to china, some of what you're coming to in a couple of years. he may well need to find refinance those the those that so i think it's probably going to be gradual change, certainly not following through on the fiery rhetoric that we saw on the campaign trail and assigned of the regional change. what is the selection name to some of the domestic challenges facing them?

all these from climate change to inflation refreshes and even bolts of resources. i think there's a lot of concern. the lot of people we've spoken to in the last couple of days of the hop back to the is, was the last when president yeah, mean was in office the previous progressive policy, the most of these candidates whose time was considered by many very top days in multi in history. they were extra dish. this whole killings disappearance is a lot of pressure on the media civil society groups. now one of the reasons president solo who's now and his way out came in japan was because he said he was going to investigate a lot of what happened during the that era he hasn't. and i think there was an enormous amount of dissolution. what's going to happen on the adult adult to move as well as a very big question the this, the, i mean the previous president is currently serving 11 years on corruption charges.

it's widely as you and you'll probably make his way out of jail. but he could be a problem for dr. moiz as well. around town we seem campaigned purpose posted with prison. yeah, i mean, right to the front doctor boys of his shoulder. now that could be a problem for the incumbent president if he's being overpowered by a more charismatic figure on the domestic political scene. so thing a lot of questions that said the moment is something of a come has returned here to monday. at least it's been a pretty rigorous 6 week election campaign, both of the major content as a being flying all over this island nation. think for the moment the just happy to sit back and, and boston the victory for the next couple of days. at least. all right, thanks so much. tony chang. the still ahead on al jazeera media says nearly all as they call medians. living in the building, that kind of box have now left spite of assurances of safety from as an by john

find out why hundreds of amazon in dalton's insufficient dying, worsening river communities. the, here's what it's looking across the middle east and africa for the 1st day of october, a fairly standard picture, plenty of hot sunshine to go around. i think the humidity will drop just attached around the gulf states. so including for us here in doha with that breeze coming down from iraq. so bit more drive, but the humidity will come and go over the next several days. fairly drive across central asia and not a lot going on, not a lot to speak about. so let's go to turkey and we've got this breeze off the black sea that's going to trigger some showers, but really across most of the country, we're going to be dealing with what weather on sunday to africa we go and we've got this band of rain stretching right into this a hard desert here,

so from southern libya rate through to new share, that's quite unusual for this time of the year and for the tropics of africa. most of the concentrated rain will be along the coast of camera room, equitorial denny, and gap on. as we did to the sauce a pretty stiff when means the temperature is down and my puts up. but this is also giving us some heat. as we look towards in bob way and zambia had a bad day in cape town at $22.00 degrees, also seen the heat in botswana habit only at $36.00. and we've also been studying records on that. a gas scar even antenna in a revolt at 30 degrees. that's above where you should be for this sum. dear. now that we're in the month of october, the oil rich get rock is facing a crisis and a final fight to results. water. as dimes built by its upstream neighbors with strict flow under investment of climate change, or exacerbate the situation. now when regions were settled, funding 1st emerge,

pensions are rapidly rising. people in power investigates whether this could be the last generation to farm the line. iraq's walter was part to of, to on a jersey to the welcome back to watching out just there a time. to recap the headlines, as many as 9000 people are attempting to cross the us mexico border every day, many of the travel through several latin american continents to get that in mexico . remind me. shelter is now its full capacity. the us congress has approved the temporary funding bill to avoid the government shutdown plan does not include

additional money for ukraine, nettie, or the estimated 120000 destiny. com unions living in the catalog now slides to armenia. they fit persecution. despite the assurances of safety i started by, john took control of the enclave. last week. most people left with just a few clothes and personal belongings. they could carry. funding. smith is in the out of, on and reports on how people planned to rebuild their lives, of the, from a village house in the hills of the going o'connor back to a temporary, unfurnished, flat, an hour outside the air than any gregorian husband. us. yes, battalion and the children must auto everything they owned, they left behind in the rush to leave change, but we never imagined leaving. we thought maybe they will give a small part of the land and they will come down,

or that they would negotiate and come to some agreement. but we didn't think that cut about who would be left with no armenians. as about jones, as we have to call meetings, security is guaranteed, but no one here believe the 10s of thousands of people have died fighting for and against and the going know kind of back in the last 30 years. the men of our generation cannot live with the us every johnny's, maybe the women could live somehow or the elderly. when i talked to my grandfather, he says, well, we were living together, but then, but maybe their generation can somehow deal with it and live together. but our generation cannot, we saw so many wars. how can a person who bury the son didn't even see him adopted to living with them? the family staying with relatives until i find furniture, but the flight is only bad for 2 months. loaned until the own is returned after years abroad. i think it might be possible to go back in a few years. you know,

i hope it might. my husband has big hoops and he's saying yes, we will go back. but i don't know for now the money is worried about schools some and how they make ends meet. they'll meet and govern, says is coordinating with age groups and try to use to help provide accommodation, financial support, medical and psychological aid to help families rebuild that long. but it's a significant challenge for a poor country. let's just see this population increased by 4 percent in less than a week. bonus smith, alex's era, a solid bins of 8 or thoughts on holidays. and as the debate john this, they're going to cut off. he says, authorities that of a showed those remaining in the region. they will not be persecuted. as more videos appeared on social media filled by security officials from the other by joining forces who have now entered and taken control of most of what was formerly known as noble know car box in the city of defined the code or function the we're seeing

scenes of the silence we're seeing empty streets, empty shops, vacant homes. this is because more than a 100000 people have now left just a fraction of the population. and now remains in this enclave where people have been assured that they will not be persecuted or prosecuted by other but johnny forces as to take control of this area. so millions have been told that they have nothing to fear. and even people who have taken part inside them either to retirement, you forces in the fight against other bridge and have been told that unless they have carried out crimes against other bridge, any civilians and security forces, they have nothing to fear. but that has not been believed by most of the people who are the ethnic armenians will continue to leave a most of your also hearing that other by john is going to allow a un mission to go there. it is going to be a fact finding mission. we do not know the exact composition of rent and where they will go, but it will be for the 1st time according to the otherwise any for and then see that and impeded access would be allowed to use the united nations and its agencies

as has not been the case in the last 3 decades is said, i mean you occupied its territory, established in legal settlements, destroyed, and continued to deny access to the outside world. and all of this, the pro speak diplomatic wrangling is happening while people are continuing to leave. and it is estimated that it is going to be a very small number of people who will remain in this car box region from the ethnic. i mean in the community. if any of them decide to stay aback some of enjoy the data, hold on this kind of operating. it is been 74 years since the founding of the people's republic of china, a flag raising ceremonies being held in by james chinaman square. and that's why the chinese state was proclaimed by the communist policy chapman miles long. in 1949 celebrations are also taking place around the country of mount rob mcbride's report that from how long the event comes at

a time of great challenges for president. she doing things when he was conferred a year this year with an unprecedented the main office president, she didn't ping a period all powerful, but he celebrates this national day with this country, facing mounting threats and challenges at home and abroad. badging is locked in a deepening geo political struggle with the united states over trade and security, accusing washington of leading the west and leading clinic to restrain what it sees as its rightful development. it's brought it up against the us, who feels that they have a right to bring the world into. what they see is a, you know, the promise land, a countries that would all fit into a little box that they want is liberal democratic capitalism. not that it's working very well. tie one's close ties with the us. camp is a for the source of anger for china, which regards the self governing island,

does it break away territory? and its president saying when seen as hostile to beijing is likely to be replaced with a similarly minded successor in an election. next january may, june, has long found reunification with taiwan know, ruling out the you've supposed to achieve it. uninstalled receipts in pain. get what's done, does he's ultimate legacy. but away from international challenges, they're almost pressing the bonds closer to home. the threat to social stability from china is worse and then property sector crisis is added a sluggish recovery from some of the world's most stringent pandemic restrictions. there are other issues. it's not just the real estate they. they have local government debt. it's equal to about half the g, d p. they have an unemployment among you. the difference between china and many other places is that china looks at it and they say ok, how we're going to fix this. domestic problems have been compounded by speculation

and about power. struggles within the hierarchy with the southern departure of to cabinet members, followed by a shakeup in the senior military leadership leading to questions overseas, hold on power, changing things, public procedures change his presence international fora has, has diminished, you know, how, how is she forward? everything is, is definitely dialed back to be what we don't know is, was that because the power crew is that because he's not cutting through of other policies. is that just the safe and prudent thing to do next year is on of the 3 will mock the 75th founding of the people's republic of china. but for the current leadership, the next 12 months posed many growing challenges. mcbride, i'll just say era, how come a severe droughts in brazil's amazon may affect 500000 people in the next 3 months? like the last without drinkable water, food, or basic goods on the care of reports. who's designed to float,

stuck in mud dried up rivers, thousands of dead fish and don't. since brazil's amazon is in the midst of a serious drought on pending the lives of thousands, man, i keep going to see, i can't even leave the house with all this month. and there is no way to push it back into the water with no end in sight, it's estimated half a 1000000 people could ultimately be affected. rivers are the main means of transportation in the amazon. some areas are only accessible by boat. the drought has left them isolated, forcing the government to decrease a state of emergency was the example out of the 62 tons of amazon state, 56. at the risk of writing, i was told, think about what the food basic products and medicine. that's why we are planning an emergency aid package to main ranging and aid is also difficult. water levels are.
