The charter bus went off of the interstate tumbling a bank of 45 miles west of new york city. Images from the scene show the bus on its side with its window smashed out. 40 students and four adults were on the bus, everyone taken to the hospital, some airlifted. While the Marching Band including cheerleaders were headed to a band camp in pennsylvania, the bus part of a caravan who watched their classmates crash while the rest of the students headed back to their high school. Cbss ali bauman will start us off tonight from near the scene as we are just learning the preliminary cause of the crash. Good evening, ali, what can you tell us. Reporter good evening, norah. The students were supposed to arrive to the camp and green lane, pennsylvania around 2 00 p. M. According to a post to their website. Instead the bus somewhere traveling on plunge down the road 40 minutes before making it there. And police say a preliminary investigation shows that failure of a front tire may have contributed to the crash. Debris litters the scene along this new york interstate where a Bus Chartered by the farmingdale High School Band landed in a ravine after rolling down an embankment just outside way, two hours northwest of new york city. But imagine the fear, the screams, and the aftermath, when these High School Students many of them freshmen were surrounded by this chaos. Reporter the vehicle was a part of a six bus caravan of 300 people headed to a band camp and pennsylvania, dozens of First Responders rushed to the scene after 1 30 p. M. , forced to use ladders to the rescue victims as the bus teetered among treetops. Some of the injured were pulled through windows.

Reporter near eagle pass, texas, hundreds of people continue to cross the rio grande, trying to slip under wire fences overwhelming city services. But not everybody makes it. Two people including the 3yearold boy have already drowned in the past two days. Still in juarez, mexico, we found that more are risking those final steps north, like this group from venezuela using tree limbs as a bridge to get to the other side. Sometimes they fall in and it has been difficult really to watch when they have to handle children. Babies and try to keep them safe, literally handing them over to somebody who plucks them over to the other side. The majority are from venezuela, but will not be eligible for temporary legal status and expedited work permits announced by the Biden Administration for nearly half a million venezuelan migrants, because they did not enter the country before july 31st. In new york where the change could apply to less than 10,000 people, officials worried it did not go far enough. 10,000 a month, and so we cant spike the ball. Reporter republicans have criticized the Biden Administrations move saying it will only motivate more people to try to cross. But back along the border, we found migrants say what they are fleeing, political persecution or poverty are bigger motivators. You did not know that about the new status, would that change what you are doing . [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] reporter it does not change what you are leaving. But u. S. Customs and Border Patrol agents say that cartels have been using this information for months, urging migrants to head north. They found this Group Parched and lost, asking for help. These cartels are very good at what they do. Its a multibillion dollar industry, they are focusing on Migrant Smuggling and the disinformation they are Feeding Migrants to fuel that profit stream. Reporter and he tells me at this specific point of the border where texas, mexico, and new mexico meet, not everyone is looking to turn themselves into Border Patrol agents and request asylum. He says roughly half are trying to avoid agents altogether. Norah. Norah Manuel Bojorquez, thank you very much.

And would not even be seen in the halls of power with the ukrainian president. Zelenskyy instead met Behind Closed Doors with members of the house and the full senate, thats because while a majority of americans continue to support providing assistance, there is a mostly republican divide on capitol hill of how to keep funding the war. We give them everything they need. We should be for peace, resolution, ending the war, not funding it. Reporter there are growing concerns in the u. S. And europe about how the aid is being used. Zelenskyy fired his defense administer and other deputies this month amid accusations of corruption. Zelenskyy also visited the pentagon today. The u. S. Has provided 44 billion in military aid since the start of the war. And the white house is asking for 24 billion more. But it did not come into giving zelenskyy longrange missiles.
