12:02 am
past week. the mayor declared a state of emergency saturday citing the number of people sleeping on city streets as herself. the anticipated end of a trump era policy just days away. >> i said from the beginning that i would call it when i felt that either our assignment seekers or a community was not safe and they really believe that today are asylum-seekers are not safe and we have hundreds and hundreds on the street. that is not the way we want to treat people. we know that the influx and once it will be incredible. it would be huge. talking to some of our federal partners, they really believe that once they are numbers will go from 2500 before to 6000 when i asked him i said do you believe that you guys can handle it today. the answer was no. when i got in there, that meted we needed to do something and do something right away.
12:03 am
>> unless the supreme court steps in, wednesday will see the end of title 42 which will allow for the expulsion of certain categories of migrants. when the policy ends the, 30s expected the number of asylum- seekers to rise even higher. the mayor of one the mexico city says u.s. president should visit to show that the region is secure. slug it would do two things. first would speak volumes to the president, but also to let them know exactly that the border is a safe area. >> we have teams on both sides of the u.s.? border. we will start with gustavo valdez in mexico. the watches as silence each seekers across the rio grande river and lineup to present themselves u.s. authorities. >> since friday we have been seeing the situation unfold every few minutes. a group of migrants get to this
12:04 am
part of the rio grande with families with children, trying to cross into the u.s.. they get somebody to help them, trying to keep their feet dry as much as they can. it is a shallow part of the rio grande in this part. they get across they try to do it carefully. it is still dangerous. we have seen people tumble and fall. and severe injuries in the goal, once they cross over is to continue the short trek up the hill where the u.s. government has built a temporary fence at the end of the existing portable and to those people are waiting to be processed. the process seems to be faster that in days past with her was a long line of people waiting. people who had to wait more than a day. in the past couple of days, but we have seen is a border patrol
12:05 am
agent taking them and a little faster. they wait for a van or a big bus and that is how they take them somewhere else to be processed. that doesn't mean they are being accepted for asylum, it just means they are being processed somewhere else. we are seeing the only part of this group trying to get their documents dry. this is the end of a long road for many of them. where are you guys from? they are from venezuela. most of these people are from venezuela. it has been very cold. the need to cross. they think that they are going to have a chance now. the u.s. authorities insist that the end of title 42 doesn't mean open borders. these people are still subject to deportation. for this people, it doesn't matter. the only thing they are worried about is that they are sent back to the country.
12:06 am
they want but if they are not going to be allowed into the u.s., that they would at least let them stay in mexico. that is something that is still to be seen and like these people, over the weekend, the local authorities are telling us they suspect there are thousands waiting for the opportunity on wednesday to cross into the united states. large group of migrants who have arrived in the u.s. are bracing for another frigid night on the streets of downtown el paso. the people you see around me have not been able to get in one of the shelters that have been so overwhelmed with the search of migrants in the area practice is having days ahead of the expected lifting of title 42. the pandemic era, public health rule that allowed customs and border protection and order officials to expel many migrants arriving at the southern border because of public health reasons.
12:07 am
it many of these people are really just trying to get through the night as they await being able to get on a bus or flight to the final destination elsewhere in the country. what we have seen it playing out is really people kind of desperate for whatever blankets and clothing. whatever they can get. using the generosity of people like this woman here who arrived a short while ago and was giving away blankets. migrants who have lined up single file to be able to get their hands on a blanket or shoes or a sweater. sweatshirts or anything that can help them through the night and there camps out around the bus stations because there waiting to either board the buses. many of the tickets are several days out. have to sit here. that is really the main concern that local officials here in el paso have and what they have been working to try to prepare for and they realize that at this point, they just need to be able to manage this situation as best as possible. the thing they want to do, the best at is moving people out of
12:08 am
here as quickly as possible because they know that behind them there are thousands more migrants possibly coming in the days ahead. they say the biggest challenge they will have is to get these people to be your transportation hubs like thing and ask, denver, dallas and houston so that they can to the final destinations in the hope that if they can move people out of el paso quickly enough, that will alleviate the pressure in the burden on a lot of the shelters and charities that are really helping these people get through the initial days in the u.s. but they are all bracing for large numbers of people. in the last week, el paso have seen about 2000 to 2500 people per day. local officials are estimating that once title 42 is lifted, it could be anywhere from 45,000 people per day here just in the el paso region alone. tours would come to peru for the trip of a lifetime have found themselves in the middle

12:13 am
burned some of the railway ties and such. it was completely impossible for the train, and as a team, eight of us took a vote as to whether we were going to walk out, which we elected to do the following morning at about 5:30. and then 30 odd kilometers later we ended up back at the trailhead, hoping to catch a ride back. selected you would is anything during the long track?>> at the beginning, it was a larger than expected group of people. we were thinking we would see roughly the same number of people that we saw on the trail, which was a few groups. it turned out to be maybe 150 people, or more. there were people walking with suitcases and wheels, and sitting out on the tracks and eventually a couple of kilometers down the tracks they
12:14 am
were starting to dig luggage and abandon things they were trying to carry. there were people from -- little kids from five years old up to grandma and grandpa age. and then -- we left at 5:30 in the morning i got there 3:30 in the afternoon. it was a good nine or 10 hours for most people and i'm sure there were a lot of people who didn't actually make it and probably ended up camping somewhere on the side of the train tracks. >> were there any confrontations with protesters? were there along the way? >> know. the first 20 kilometers was nothing and then we got to a couple of small towns. we didn't realize how intense it was until we got to the trailhead and then we managed to get a sprinter type them. a couple of kilometers down the
12:15 am
road we stop short 500 meters of a blockade that was set up. soon as the driver got out and opened the door, we saw a big group of people running towards us from a few hundred meters away. one fellow who was carrying a sickle, and our guide was saying, grab your stuff and get out of here. had as far away as you can. there was a river on one side, so you could only go so far but we managed to grab our stuff and get as far away as we could with the guy just walked up to the driver and kicked him, and clocked him in the head with another hit and they basically just swarmed him. i hope he is okay. i have no idea what eventually happened to him. but it was pretty intense. >> hats off to you and your fellow travelers making the best of a very scary situation. i'm wondering, did you receive any help from peruvian authorities? is anyone helping you arrange
12:16 am
flights of the country? select the tourism police were quite visible kelly entails. the park rangers were there. they were very concerned for the tourist. that made quite an effort to make sure that we all understood what was going on and they definitely wanted to get us out safely. it was an awkward situation, and they did their very best to make sure we were not placed in harms way. >> tony, we wish you and your fellow travelers safety and safe journeys back home. thank you so much for sharing your personal account with us. >> my pleasure. thank you. japan has launched a protest with north korea over the latest missile launch. something they call a serious provocation. will thus create joint chiefs

12:34 am
the white house says there is a robust effort underway to prepare for the end of this week of title 42. the pandemic era policy that kept many migrants out of the u.s. while anticipating an increase in the already high number of asylum-seekers at the southern border, the biden ministration has asked congress for billions to boost resources. cnn's arlette signed reports from the white house.
12:35 am
divided biden administration is bracing for a possible surge of migrants as title 42 is expected to end on wednesday. homeland security issue recently a more they anticipate and likely increase in migrant flow immediately when the policy is lifted. here at the white house, officials have long known that the trump era policy would end at some point. it took on additional meaning when the judge last month ruled the title 42 needed to end by december 40 for on friday night a federal appeals court blocked a challenge from republican-led state so have kept the policy in place and the white house has said they have a robust effort underway to try to manage the border in the wake as a are expecting title 42 to be lifted. the white house has been trying to make clear that the lifting of title 42 does not mean that the border is open and that they are going to work to try to manage migrant flow. the department of homeland security has released a six- point plan detailing some of
12:36 am
the efforts including searching. a personal and reap sources to the border to help with processing. they have also established are of the works of establishing some temporary facilities to help with the processing, and also ramping up on the ground in air transportation to try to move some of the migrants and process them as well. additionally, the biden ministration has asked congress for more than $3 billion to address border security issues. and what white house officials consistently say that the only way for these issues to be fixed is if comprehensive immigration reform is passed in capitol hill. the coming days the white house is certainly facing a very steep challenge when it comes to this expected flow of migrants that could begin on wednesday and into the coming weeks. arlette saenz, cnn, the white house. peruvian president has barely been on the job for a few weeks and she is already resisting calls to step down. she took over from her
12:37 am
predecessor who was impeached and removed from office december 7. peruvian officials say that at least 20 people have been killed amid widespread protest. many demanding new elections. on friday, lawmakers rejected the necessary reforms. then on saturday, the president responded to protesters who have called for her to step down. >> i'm only filling the constitutional mandate. there is a group saying, step down. what will be solved by my quitting. is the problem solved? the problem will not be solved. we will be firm until congress approves to bring forward elections. >> joining may not is a freelance journalist currently located in lima, peru. her work has appeared in the new york times and the economist. good to see you.
12:38 am
extraordinary times in peru once again. how much pressure is there on the president right now and how much packing does her administration and joy among peruvian people? dyslexia is under quite a lot of pressure. she has had more than a week of violent protests against her government she took office. she was sworn in by the head of congress to replace the former president pedro castillo after he announced on tv what amounts to a coup or a self to. a dissolution of congress. the organization of the ports. and new elections for officials to write a new constitution.>> understand there is still a nationwide state of emergency in place. what does that concretely mean for people in peru? >> it means that some constitutional rights and civil liberties have been suspended. that includes the right for free transit. the right to free assembly. the rate to not have your home rated if the police or authorities choose to do so. today we saw one of the effects
12:39 am
of that. there were two offices. one of the local leftist party and another of a former organization that were rated today by police. with a lot of people arrested and not clear exactly what the charges are. there were some objects found, like a few machetes and slingshots. according to police. but the people who were arrested said they were planted. in terms of what else it means, means that peru is basically living under a state in which it is not clear what rates are still remaining for people, or what may happen next. >> the political situation has been so fraught fraught in peru. not just for now but for the past couple of years. i was wondering if you could provide us with and context in terms of, what is congress role in all of this and why do presidents find themselves
12:40 am
always in hot water in terms of the past couple of years where they are almost always impeached. >> there has been, she is the sixth president of the last five years. pedro casteel is the fourth former president to be held in some sort of pretrial detention, facing criminal charges. this is kind of -- peru is at the moment where there is a lot of anger. the political leads, the political system, a lot of people saw pedro casteel as different. a former farmer. a former schoolteacher. a union activist. he moved from his rural homestead, directly to the presidential palace, unlike other presidents were also from rural backgrounds. but if people identify with him in a way that other presidents
12:41 am
-- that a lot of people, especially in rural areas identify with him strongly. that is why we are seeing this anger towards congress, which has tried to impeach several former president before him. or two former presidents before him. the impeachment he was facing the day that he tried to illegally take power of the courts and congress, was the seventh impeachment attempt in peru in recent years and the third against him. there is kind of a sense that congress needs to go also. people are curious as congress. they think they're not really doing anything to help the situation. that represent old ruling elites and that is why you have this general widespread demand for new general elections. new elections for the president and lawmakers. >> there seems to be a political instability a institutional instability. you mentioned the potential election will be held. can they be held? when will they be held? >> that is the question right
12:42 am
now. it is not so easy to just call for elections. in this constitution there isn't a clear path for that. that is why reforms are needed. constitutional reforms which take longer than other kinds of reforms. congress had an opportunity to kind of show a goodwill gesture towards people. towards protesters demanding elections by calling -- by accepting a reform that would have new elections as early as the end of next year. that is something that the president has also proposed. but yesterday they were rejected the first attempt at that and now they are kind of dragging their feet on when they will start a new session that would be able to pass that reform. >> thank you so much. in iran, authorities continue to crackdown on voices
