Families, had been trying to make their way across. For the past days. In a search on the move, thousands of armenians abandoned their homes and the board of carol back despite assurances from mazda by john, that they will be 6 the. The 1st us made the abrams tanks arriving ukraine after President Joe Biden promised to supply tea with more state of the art weapons, arrests and libya after devastating floods that cause to damage the collapse and the city of during the killing cells. And on p just images, go to school to india when they 1st cricket gold medal and an asian games. Women seem beats relating to bar 19 runs in the final and hung joe the can we begin . This is our, with the growing crisis at the southern border of the United States, a large number of Asylum Seekers continue to cross over from mexico. The mayor of el paso says the border city is now at a breaking point. While another city eagle pass has declared a state of emergency. Nearly 9000 people arrived on saturday alone. And mexico has made an agreement with the us to deport migrants back to their home countries this to try and combat the surge in crossings recently. From many of the migrants, the journey is powerless. Those from south america to cross the darien gap and inhospitable stretch of jungle between columbia and panama. Moving through central america, the migrants after mexico, some seek asylum there. Others moved further north and at the Us Mexico Border migrants and refugees seek to enter the United States that their final and desired destination. And thats warehouses here. As heidi joe castro picks up the story, youre in an ego passed, texas the, the town that declared a state of emergency. Heidi, what have you been witnessing . Youre just in front of the rio grande. Thats right, 0. And throughout the morning, we have been seeing hundreds of people trying to wait across these waters to approach where im standing now, which is of course, on the us banks. Theyve had to encounter of course theres the current trying to keep their children above water. And then they faced these razor wires that have been placed here by the state of texas to try to get them to change their mind at the last minute and turnaround that has not been working. And throughout the morning we saw a buildup of people on the us shores, Still Standing in the water, but unable to climb up the bank here because of this wire. And only in the last few hours, we thought all of them rescued by Us Border Patrol officers. But that hasnt stopped more of them coming in. As you can see, theres yet another group of people trying to keep the children above the water. Theyre holding them. I believe i see a couple and they are crossing to that Middle Island part of the river where weve been seeing people taking a break because the water after they reach the island, will actually become much deeper and it becomes more perilous with these parents. And there have been children who died in the exact spot trying to make this crossing in the past. But this is what we have been seeing all day and through the last day that we have been here, as people say theyre leaving their home countries. Many of them coming from venezuela saying that actually arriving at this final hurdle, really to their long journey that they feel happy despite being exposed to the elements and exhausted at this point. And we saw that in fact collapsed before our eyes, out of heat exhaustion. Many of them are still arriving here with smiles on their faces, saying that this is the pay off on their long journeys. And of course not knowing that ahead of them still is a long Legal Process that is really stacked against them to be able to live in the United States. Heidi, why are so many people crossing at this particular spot . Eagle pass . There are a few different spots along the border. Does that mean its easier where you are . Then in other places along the border it all depends on whats on the other side and im on the other side of eagles, hasnt appeared as negative as mexican city, where a lot of people have decided to walk to because they take buses, they walk and they take mexicos train as close as they can get to the us border and there is a train that is about 4 hours walk where the last stop is about a 4 hours walk on the mexican side from where im standing now. And so people have decided that that is a, a good chance of getting as close as possible, and then walking the rest of the way here, i will tell you, a lot of people were, were commenting. Where is the border wall here . Well, there isnt one this, of course President Trump hit hit he Long Campaign and was proud of building a so called border. What will it stops here . Eagle pass. That is another reason why so many people have decided this might be an opportune place to cross into the United States. And youre also seeing, actually, as our photographer range of compounds up to the more migrants who are standing in line. Uh, if you see on top of that bridge, that is actually the port of entry, the official port of entry from here there was negative mexico to eagle past texas, and theyre not allowed to move from that spot. Not even one step further, because that is the direct center of that bridge where mexican territory turns into us territory. And Us Border Patrol have a station there. I dont know if you see the blue color tend. That is where america starts. And that is where Us Border Patrol is actually likely shouting at the people know more steps forward because of course, once they do set foot on us territory, the see radically speaking, they have a right to make an asylum claim under international law. So part of the strategy here, by the, by to ministration and also the of the ministration before him is to simply prevent people from stepping on cus, tara, to ray, and im submitting those asylum claims. Sarah. Hi, why are some of the people choosing . What looks to be a much more dangerous route, crossing the rio grande, and then having to deal with the barbed wire, which you showed us in earlier hours has been extremely difficult. Sometimes they just cant pass. Why would some People Choose to go that way rather than on the bridge who just showed us . Because coming this way through the bar wires, the way you force a move from the us there. Border patrol can still tell it you to turn around and boy prevent you from actually stepping forward on the us here. Once youre halfway across the river, youve already won that small part of the battle. And the, the statistics prove that people who do go to the port of entry, which is what i didnt administration has been telling people to do. They have this app where you can sign up for an appointment. Well, statistically speaking, speaking, most people arent successful that way. And so these families are seeing are a forcing the issue even when it means putting themselves and their children and definitely risk to do so. They think that its worth it because their chances, once they actually do arrive on the west shore, they have to be taken into us custody and have to be granted at least the chance to say those words. I want to sign one in the United States, or heidi dro, castro, showing us in the last few minutes alone. Whats been happening. Weve seen some people crossing the rio grande behind id and some people arriving at the bridge, which is the official port of entry for the us where they may be processed. All of this happening live in just the space of a few minutes. Heidi joe castro reporting from the Us Mexico Border on the us side. Thank you very much. Several people have been killed and Dozens Injured in a blast at the fuel station in the gore know camera back the cause of the blast. A know it happened this thousands of Ethnic Armenians flee the region after. And so by john, take over this week. So far more than 6000 refugees of crossed into our media as a by john has tightened his grip on the region after last week ceasefire with ethnic army and fighters. Johan says it is preparing to take in tens of thousands more. Who may flee the who may fleeing are going to camera back. And some of the it was very dangerous there. They took out everybody, they could. People were fleeing and lower east buses and cars. They used everything they could get into. We dont know what happens to us next is my name. We dont know what the government has in store for us. Theres no chance of going back. If there were any chances, we wouldnt even the 1st place. Its very dangerous there to move, but some of inch of aid reports from the election Border Crossing and also by john. So theres been a steady trickle of people leaving the kind of a region. They say that it is no longer fit safe for them to stay here and they have to go and theyve been packing whatever they could on top of they causing their boots and which ever vehicle they could use. If youve been seeing dunford trucks coming in heavy, youve seen, cause we have seen lauries, weve seen everything that they could possibly use to pack whatever they can. And obviously it is not just the opposite of identity to instead of 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. Thats be showing their presence in both sides of this Border Crossing and telling people that they are okay to go. The have to write down the government on that spot has been telling people that they should stay if they want to, but it is up to them, but they want to stay or leave. Many people feel that because of the 3 decades of animosity between these 2 sides, it is going to be difficult for them to stand and not believing the guarantees that are being given to them. As you saw these cause have been checked, their names registered mail, passengers who are not, the drivers are off to get off their causes the dis in bulk. They go through this propping beyond that, crossing is armenia. Thats where people are heading into knots where theyre trying to find refuge. Weve spoken to some of them who feel that it is not going to be ending their 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 boss. The reason no. Earlier i spoke to Matthew Bryce or the former us mediator and then the going to count rebec conflict is also a former Us Ambassador at times by john, i begin by asking him why there is a fear of ethnic cleansing on the part of the Ethnic Armenians a, there was a 44. 00, and dispute investment cleansing in the 1st phase of this conflict when 800000. 00 or by johnnys were forced to leave their homes. And so i could understand if youre in our union on the other side now youd be nervous, but i also have to say in my 21 years, so im working on this conflict either in government or in sync times like now. The also by johnny perspective on this one issue has been consistent, which is that the goal is to get to a Peace Agreement that will allow the Armenian Community to remain and allow them the as or by johnnys to come back to their old places and president s and the neighbors again, with your armenians. There are ongoing negotiations right now between us or by john and the Ethnic Armenians of the going to car back to decide what the future is going to be of this region. Of course, as a by john intends for it to be completely as or by johnny. Theyve said this, they said theyve re gainful control, but were talking about how Ethnic Armenians are going to continue to live there if theyre going to continue to live there, etc, etc. Does armenia neighboring or media have any leverage over what happens in these talks . You know, our media really has no leverage anymore and has no way to re insert the military forces. Busy it has kept in that region of car box since the end of the 2nd quarter, about 4, which by the way, it was a violation of a ceasefire statement. It has no leverage. And looking back at us or by john, i just said, you know, that as or by john sam bush and has been too heavy armenians feel safe enough, but thats going to be a tall order, right . As are by johns going to now have to is the same, walk the walk and prove that their rhetoric, houston seer. And it may be that there needs to be some sort of observe or mission or peacekeeping. New kind of peacekeeping mission, thats not just rushing but international that provides jeremy and community a sense of security. But in terms of leverage, no, really, our media really doesnt have any leverage that has the force of the morals worse making sure that the world is watching and that its, and the kinsman and kims women are treated according to, to international human. All right, well, you mentioned, and somebodys on is going to have to prove to Ethnic Armenians in the going to kind of back that it is sincere. That is precisely the argument that theyve been making to us when they come on our shows the last few days theyre saying as to why john isnt sincere and they have a track record of not keeping their promises. What he said about, id say i understand why people in this situation would think that i, i, in my experience it hasnt been the case and as or by john hasnt kept its, its places, for example, the ceasefire statement at the end of the 2nd quarter by 4, actually also by john hassle, looked up to those those commitments. And i was relieved to see that at the end of the war, the as or by johnny side kept slowing at that time humanitarian need and natural gas for the art meeting and population. As it was evacuating, and i can only pray that that, that sort of behavior continues now. But again, i understand why theres consternation its, its only natural in that situation. To the 1st us made abrams tanks have arrived in ukraine president volume. Heres a lensky says that they will reinforce, keeps armored brigades, but he did not specify how many tanks he received. Washington has so far as applied a 113000000000. 00 in defense in humanitarian aid to ukraine, since russias invasion last year. Same astronomy has more from keith this. This is what is the most heavy duty pieces of equipment that ground units will be receiving so far . From the United States, joe biden pledged 31. 00 abrams tanks earlier this year. They were supposed to be here sooner during zalinski strip in new york, she promised that the 1st delivery would be happening this week. And now the ministry of defense and president s. And lets be confirming that the 1st set of terms have now arrived what theyre expected to change. Well, there are some problems there a lot more difficult for ukrainians 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 Response to their arrival. They will be used specifically for well crafted plans. We dont want to lose these tags, and theyre 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 places like sacraments, or we are likely to see them perhaps used in the south of the country with the terrain is flat well suited to these types of fascinating vehicles and strong firing power. Probably not used to pursue russian lines, but they are likely to be used to take and the food positions that the ukrainians are hoping to get ahold of in the coming days and weeks. Ukraine says it killed the commander of russias black sea fleet and a missile strength last week. Admiral victor suckle off is reported to have been killed in an attack on the fleet headquarters in sylvester, paul and russian controlled crimea. As a plenty more head on this news, our striking writers in hollywood reach an agreement with studios, but its not yet a done deal. And a 9 year old state border goes for gold of the asian games. Peter stem, it will have the details. Coming up, the summit of Pacific Island leaders is taking place in washington. President joe biden says he is working with congress, kind of on a plan to invest 40000000000. 00 in Pacific Island nations across and were Climate Change. Economic growth and Sustainable Development or on the agenda or white house correspondent, kimberly how kit is with us. So kimberly, this summit is all about us china competition. How does this for the us interest as well . The goal for the United States is that this would really kind of push china out of the way, but the problem for the United States is that china has the advantage given its proximity. And so thats what the whole purpose of this meeting is. This is the 2nd of its kind and the reason that the United States is holding this is, but really, china has had the influence that the United States is helping to gain it seems with concern the not only sort of military influence, but the economic influence and so thats what the focus of this is, is the United States is offering security guarantees, its offering economic guarantees as what its saying is work with us. And in exchange youll see partnerships that will be to your benefits. So what were expecting is a series of announcements, infrastructure investments, the opening of the embassies, whether it be diplomatic relations, the cook islands, a new way to embassies of the Solomon Islands, as well as tom good, even when it comes to infrastructure.
