crossing into ecuador on foot as an undocumented migrant. who spent all night by the border the authorities told us to be patient they said they would guess not answer in the morning but there was no response they just told us to head to venezuela especially that we don't want more venezuelans here. after ecuador imposed new entry restrictions on saturday and her friends felt that they had no choice but to cross illegally while they press on thousands of stranded at the checkpoints hungry and cold fearful of being sent back we have arrived here and we have no hope whatsoever of being able to pass through my husband is desperate over in peru my family is also desperate in venezuela we just want to help our families i have two children i sold my house i have nothing now i can't go back to venezuela with nothing. the unprecedented exodus of desperate men is a way and is increasingly overwhelming neighboring countries colombia and brazil

economic hardship well what these countries are asking for now has or into recently but this was because many countries in south america without it because of a treaty called the end the end charter so getting a passport would be the option for someone who wants to migrate the problem facing these countries is that they are not prepared to changing what the u.n. called the largest migration of people in history but for those whales the odds of staying are grim because adding to the food and medicine shortages there is also an energy crisis that has many cities without electricity and water transportation crisis and income another factor making life difficult for those winds and economists are forecasting a rise in unemployment each of these new economic measures so we might see a spike also in venezuela immigrants now oscar talk to us a little bit about to venice about this new a currency that's being rolled out to the sovereign ball of our as it's called i

mean this must be a massive operation is this the silver bullet that will help stabilize the economy . well many economists are just rejecting these measures as more political than economic because it puts the government in the midst of every economic aspect in venezuela besides a minimum wage sixty times higher than what it is now there are also be a rising taxes and gasoline prices so economists agree that this is a blow to the private sector that will worsen the economic crisis increase unemployment and push inflation to levels nobody has anywhere has ever seen the i.m.f. or any forecast models were to reach one thousand percent inflation this year and with these measures some say that it will fall short i ask her let's look ahead the opposition is there calling for a nationwide strikes and protests come there to stay so tomorrow over these economic reforms will they be able to mobilize people and get them to come out on the streets expectations are low because last year opposition was able to get

hundreds of thousands to protest and hundreds died thousands were imprisoned and many of them were her tortured so i cite for him from the fear of change this many people that oppose the government have simply left the country we've seen more people this weekend nervously buying food and filling their tanks and perforation of what's to come so hopes are not at all hard for people here today where everything is closed because banks and businesses are changing their currency that will come into effect tomorrow but parliament is scheduled to have an emergency session on the situation to discuss what is going to happen in venezuela with these new measures journalist oscar slank are reporting from cracker ass venezuela thank you. all right let's get you caught up now with some of the other stories making news around the world. mali's constitutional court has declared it where you go back or ok to the winner of the country's presidential runoff the countries that received sixty seven percent of the vote this compared to thirty two percent for

wrinkles on his face there's still some of them left as i remember him from all those years ago. reunions like this have only taken place twenty times since two thousand apart from these state sanctions get togethers there's no way to contact each other phone calls and letters remain prohibited by pyongyang these north and south koreans have been permitted eleven hours together over three days. it's a painfully short amount of time for deeds aging families who are all too aware this may also be their final farewell. emotional meet up so there we can talk more about these reunions with journalist john kwan she is in the south korean capital seoul good evening and what can we glean from this round of cross border reunions how significant are they and do they signal an improvement in enter korean relations. well in the past ten seconds there was only four times at least families

a strange family who are distant relatives there's only twenty seven between one hundred seventy families who need their direct family members in the sense that most people have passed away or fortunately all are north korea is not out of meat . now intent of course the way that this works is that there is a lottery and that's how people are picked so many people did not make the draw this time around can we expect further reunions taking place in the near future. well with positive outcomes. that started in a poll at the summit meeting. who think that there will be more positive. however. with. not always the koreans making this and we have to listen to china president would be happy to have that korean time logs or. whatever it is any
