Wildfires the now killed 80 obviously every time, so you in malware and inquiry is now underway, him to why it was occupational theres one issue before flames and gulf behind a crisis meeting of army chief of west african nations is to spend it as much as to the is remain defined on donald trump joins are the republican candidate. So the iowa states that 2024 us president ial campaign keeps in to get the beginning, according to with thousands of police and soldiers have rated a prison to remove a powerful gang leader. Hes accused of threatening president ial candidates of the, of a sense here a week before his assassination. The man known as fi tow has now been transferred to a maximum security prison. Hes been serving a 34 year sentence for drug dealing and mad authorities have link tim to the mexican Drug Trafficking guy in the center. Know, a cato of to 4000 offices were involved in the joint operation of prison in the countries. The 2nd largest city in black keel, a lot of funding the assassination off. And then the, the other senshi on wednesday. Echo is that president ial candidates issued a statement, claiming the government for Political Violence in the country is running a ton. Jack gonzalez is offered to take his place. You have a sense, it was a vocal critic of corruption and organized crime. 6 suspects had been arrested, the se then linked to criminal gangs. Thats bringing the money with a pig. Now shes professor of International Relations that invested that san francisco, the key to the drawing just from key to welcome to the program. So the country must still be reading from this assassination. Whats the mood like now . Months the population theres a lot of attention, a lot of fear, and then id look 0 error or this is just the less that the nation of a row we have had kind of an average of one politician was estimated true week over the last month. And in the beginning of the year there i, the rates of crime has increased 350 percent compared to last year. This via the son says, running mate is now step 10 to take his place. Whats the reaction been to that . Well, its not clear yet who will take the place of the candidate this estimated she was an investigative journalist to answer the legislative position last elections. And now he was running for president is Vice President who is the young woman environmental is, is about to take his position, but there are some problems with the law and her changing the positions. We hope she will take the lead. Shes a very progressive young woman who could gather a lot of the votes. This was the time because we love, we think its all about the votes. That where does this leave the election overall Going Forward in terms of whos likely to, to win . If there is a big change you are currently into the system issue. We dont have official numbers yet, but its very clear that the top running i tend to dave Louisa Gonzalez who is running for the grade level has fallen a lot because this party is seen as an ally to the, to narrow, the criminal gang. Who is the so the, the responsible for the time of delivery st as to who has denounced a lot of the corruption scandal, a link between politicians and the criminal gang. So some parties went up to the left. He said to himself has an estimated 4 extra point system she was killed and the party of the top running candidate has fall in the lot between 5. 00 to 10. 00 Percentage Points depending who youre doing the estimates. The 2nd candidate remains echo better. So the conservatives are left who is associated with the jonetta, the criminal gang falling very quickly in the, in the reports, in your thoughts on the danza. Im and how the gang instance play into this with, with the non accused of the threatening via of a sensor, not move to another prison. So he was moved to another prison today, but its the prison from which he came back in 2008. So we dont know how much it is actually going to change. This is trisha. The root of the matter is that criminal, a game that have been ensuring politics in what is becoming an article states in ecuador. So we can move to have someone jail to the other, but the reality is that the level of corruption has secured over the last decade. The participation of various criminal gangs will 2 additional live politics. And they are allied and associated with very political parties. I understand you are Campaign Manager and wife for one of the candidate. So yeah, competitors, what town bell . I mean on a human level, how concerned to you about the safety and we are all very scared about our safety deliveries. Safety just the last one. But once a week we have had colleagues assassinated, were all wearing bullet proof jackets. Some of us helmet. Were all using bullet proof cars. So its a very high level of and security and chair for ourselves and our families. And what is the most, gary . There is, is that we dont think there is a return in the near future. We think there is another consideration of politics in ecuador and the international level. I would compare this with the condition of the weather in politics in which there are lots of regional geo politics, global geo politics that play in the local context. And it goes there and theyre going to pay a price for years to come. Might want to take, we very much appreciate your time. Thanks for joining us here. And ill just thank you for having me wise, confronting the devastating off the mouth of the west, Natural Disaster in its history. This 80 people are dead and more than one. Thousands of on accounted for a Family Assistance Center has opened up in that community to try to help people unable to find missing loved ones, frontiers having distributing what to food and other essentials. The questions are being raised about the Emergency Response survivors say they didnt get enough of warning and how to scramble for safety. The attorney general has no, its an investigation into what happened. Lets talk to see how that, what time see now. Joining us from the audited moment here, what more do we know about those who are still missing . She what would you want being told to expect the death told arise . We have a better understanding of why they keep saying that its because theyre really just really beginning to go through the ashes and rubble, those damage, buildings that we keep keep saying, especially in the, in that historic central area on the ocean. But also, you know, moving further back north, she eats the surprises of accounting for that. That is only just beginning. We will see that i do have some breaking news as if there was another attempt to allow residence. Um that i had to return to the judge for themselves, the scale of a damage. This happened on friday as well, but it was cut short after about 4 hours because it seemed like authority to lose control of the situation that, that appears to have happened again. And now were being told, no ones going to be that in indefinitely, the highway has been shot. And definitely we happen to be with, with skipped scouts here who thought you might be able to see is always belongings or in the back about that color of that hes a residence of, of the if you with that yesterday visit happened yesterday. Do we have with instead of the sun . Why not exactly as a thank you for asking me 1st of all, but yes, we were able to get back into our home, which was in what kind of town we stayed there for for a night. And then the next day we, we were told that we would have a 10 oclock curfew about 5 30 pm. The police came through evacuating everyone from behind us. We were told that it was on safe. And um, you know, to be honest, there were still fires going on, theres lots of rubble around. So, you know, were, were not trained. We, we were told that they would say there was people going into the areas they should live in. And yeah, and i think that was real problem there, a lot of residents that just wanted to see if their house was Still Standing and just to assess, you know, what theyre going to do next. I mean, a lot of us are trying to make tough decisions and whether or not your, your house is Still Standing or not is, is a big factor in that. And i think a lot of people are just so curious and wanted to know that they were kind of slipping around barricades or trying to find ways to park in certain places and, and sneak around the, the National Guard or whatnot. Seems williams understandable, you think . But, but lets go back to the use it. I mean, you with uh yeah, what was it like as the flames were approaching . Was there any warning . How did you know generally there, there really wasnt much warning and actually to be honest, there wasnt much warning the night before that the winds were going to be like they work. A lot of people were surprised Tuesday Morning when they woke that the winds were so strong and before the firemen started, we woke up Tuesday Morning with trees up rude, trees laying in the ground blocking streets. Powerlines were already down, the power was out. And this was before the fire even started. So then the fire starts and it just use that. When does its vessel for destruction and it just ripped through so fast or like anything that ive seen. Ive seen that it was time to go. Well, we just kind of picked out a certain spot, it was across the highway from us and we just decided if it jump to the highway and hit to the other side were gone. And i literally looked to the other direction for maybe 30 seconds to a minute and looked back and they did sure jumped the highway and the apartments across me were already on fine. Yeah. I think it certainly left for you. I mean, there are neighborhood fared better than most of the majority of the houses in the condos in our neighborhood are okay. Its a newer neighborhood. We, we, we did better than most of the neighborhoods to both sides of us are completely designated and you are telling me something really interesting, which is, who lost everything of this 5 democrats, the people who serve the result. Absolutely. You know this, this didnt really affect the terrorist that much, they just had to leave. But this fight really took out what i would call a lot of the meat and potatoes of, of the culture and the workforce. The orientation of our workforce has a lot of servers, bar tenders, blankets, you know, managers, things like that of all the restaurants and the people who serve the tourist. The people give you your plate of food, those of the people that lost everything. They lost everything, they dont have a home, they dont have a job. And theyve got a really tough decision on their hands. A lot of them worried that was Affordable Housing prices on my end there, there was already, you know, coming out of the pen demik. And this, the price is skyrocketing, the way they did if you didnt own and you had to read it was already almost impossible to be in ohio. And the, the last affordable, strong hold lying to lunas is the main road up to the high school that was completely destroyed for the most part and, and thats going to be a big issue. So its, its taking a really tough problem and its making it even worse that im, its going to be tough to see how we recover from that. When were going to do it, you seem to be in good spirits, keep everything youve been. Well, you know, honestly and just the last 3 or 4 days ive seen what people can do when theyre not divided and united in a cause. And they set their mind to it and they want to help people. The last period is so strong, more than i ever realized, and its not even just the people here. There are so many people outside of hawaii that have come to a high no year after year, whether they have time shares or whether they just loved the island. So were seeing just so much support in outreach from people all over the place. People on the mainland, they cant really do anything to help us. But theyll texas anyway and say, what can we do to help . Just tell us what we can do to help. So weve had a lot of support. Its been amazing to see people rally. But its, its going to be a tough road to recovery. Theres no doubt like you so much. Thank you. Its really appreciate you guys. Yeah, its interesting that we have heard that several people to visit the area that was really about to, to, to the ground was that area of Affordable Housing, the people who served with the results. And that was already. Yeah. What was the property prices in skyrocketing . This is probably mine because in valley there were fears about kind of disaster capitalism to kind of remember hearing things. I got off to how i could live in puerto rico, the, the developers will come in, but the actual original residence way. And so we, thats what, thats the other issue that were gonna have to keep an eye on is how this rebuilding will take place, how, where the money will come from, who will get it. And whether those who dont own with ram to others will ever be able to make it back. But these are other demographic questions which go to the heart of the economy of this this resorts, island apache. Indeed it is. She have thanks very much for that. Well james, talk to you, okay, is direct to the why state department of business, economic development, interiors and he says, funding accommodations for people who dont stubs in the 5 is a priority for the government. You can only imagine the stress and the emotional trauma. It has gotten to these people who lost everything a many people who were there, their homes are breakdown to the ground. And i had a personal friend who we couldnt find for, you know, at least a day and a half because theres no signal, no cell cell towers. The cell towers were all down and we waited, finally connected with them. We found out that their daughter was one of the the waitress is at a popular restaurant that had to escape into the ocean. So now, you know, we need to house these people. So what were doing is the immediate issue is we just got power to. Ready the on a poly area on the island, and what will be doing is utilizing hotels to take people out of shelters and put them in hotels. So were going to start with a ports of them. The women and children and families with special needs and putting them up in the hotels and i will say low, high now and on a poly. Ready tell us have been awesome as far as assisting once they got the power back, which was last night, they offered hotel rooms up to their employees. So a lot of the employees in that area lost everything. So employees are going in there, and people that are in the victim of victims that are in the shelters are going to be going into these hotels. So it really is a total effort on the whole entire community right now to make sure that we can do the best to house people. So those are come on out this era. These 6 people have died off the boat, carrying migrants thinks of trying to cross the english channel, the route to you by visit capital color. We have more of those live the storms around the old place of us pushing down to what was your high valley easing over to what was the eastern seaboard little touch of storms, just down towards the oklahoma as we go on through the next couple days, while the system came out see about the between the last hall task and the ready hall test and in place across the past that was still getting into the fortys. Theres been some time that it hasnt made it up into the full seas. But as we go, whats the positive next week . I am optimistic. So it makes 38 degrees celsius. Thats the 100 and found high. So ive still plenty warm enough, but you can see the majority of the heat just going to squeeze a little further southwards. As those live the south roll across the plains, some big a down, pause, law child damaging winds. Always a possibility may even have the alternate. I mixed in sunday going only to monday, but what the weather is is i the tools the appalachians able to will cease to save or seeing some bigger finery. So i was coming in back, find one of 3 showers to down towards the south west that so was gonna be welcome at this time of the lobby. Sure.

Thousands of police and soldiers in ecuador rated a prison to remove a powerful gang lead by and then his fee to it was accused of threatening a president ial candidate. Since the week before his assassination has been serving, 34 prison sentence for drug dealing more than 1000 people are still on, accounted for. Of the wildfires ravaged in one out of my way. Haines of 80 people have been covered as crews continue this search. Many, including the states attorney general, asking why the island sirens didnt sound well on the sisters, faith west africans, region of the echo says it will send a delegation to ship to try and convince cooley this.
