Cross from mexico into the United States. We report on the dangers of their journey thousands of refugees from the going to carol back arrive and armenia after as they by john takes control the the 1st us made abrams tanks arriving ukraine following president ial bidens promise to supply you with more state of the art weapons amalia schumann, truthfully bolivia, and prosecute the general all that the address of the federal court in some form of officials after the 1st of the 2 down in the eastern city of done shows thousands of people and on piece of same as though youre supposed to india, when they 1st crickets, goals, middle and an asian games, the women seem beach relented by 90 runs in the fine or how does that could be . The it is just past 1500 gmc and we start with the growing crisis at the southern order of the United States where a large number of Asylum Seekers is continuing to cross over from mexico. Nearly 9000 people arrived on saturday alone. And thats what it looks like. The mayor of el paso says the border city is now a breaking point. While another city eagle pass has declared a state of emergency. Mexico has an agreement with the west to deport migrants back to their home countries. In an effort to combat the surge of migrant numbers houses, here is havi show. Castro has been covering this story for a century joyces from eagle pass and texas near the mexican border. Hardy, yesterday, when we spoke to you, there was a stream, a regular stream of migrants coming in and finding their way through the barbed wire behind you. What are you seeing today . It is the same story still on repeat 0 and you can look right now were back at the spot by the river that separates mexico on the other side in the United States where im standing and there are people who are still midway through this crossing. Were seeing a few on this Little Island that is separating the 2 banks of the river. This is where people tend to catch their breaths before they make it the rest of the way across the river, which is a little bit deeper. And then if youll actually come closer to the shore where were standing now, these are all the folks who arrived over night. I was just asking a couple of how long theyve been there. So they had to sleep out here, underneath the elements and surrounded by razor wire without water without food. And they were told by Us Border Patrol agents. They told me to just wait here until at some point perhaps rescue will come to take them to the Border Patrol centers for processing. And even as they wait more and more people arrive and it is the struggles that they are enduring. Families with small children and people from all walks of life that has captured our attention of this family with a toddler and an infant is branded on a small island in the middle of the rio grande river. Mexico is behind them. The United States is a head, but theres a problem. The water head gets deeper into children recently drowned here. The family is frightened. They turn around, back at the island. The toddler plays as the father considers his options. The arrival of more migrants emboldens him. There may be safety in numbers, more hands to catch small ones. If theyre swept away and altogether, they cross wife with children. Through this i ask for their futures. The answer, this is the scene on repeat in eagle past texas, the town experiencing a surge of unauthorized Border Crossings numbering up to the thousands daily. The Us Border Patrol boats plus the water mostly observing the crossings. Only intervening when someones life may be at risk. This family has a disabled child who is struggling, a Border Patrol boat takes them to safety, everyone else confronts the next barrier. Layers and layers of razor wire put here by the state of texas. Washington has sued the state to remove the fencing due to humanitarian concerns. The Border Patrol is actually cutting through this wire because as, as you see there are Asylum Seekers, families there who are baking underneath the sun and trying desperately begging to be allowed. The rest of the way up, they are ready standing on us soil. They have a legitimate right to claim asylum here in this country. Defense is meant to be a deterrent to force. The Asylum Seekers to turn around even now. But they dont. These men say theyre from venezuela, fleeing political violence, and economy in shambles. Tell them that its we are so tired, but our goal was to reach the United States because this is the land of opportunity. Whats behind them can only be worse than what theyre facing. And what theyre facing is, you know, 5 rows of causes here, wire piled higher than their heads. And you know, the arm guardsman with weapons coming under the many of these tired faces were smiles. This was a good day to have reached us soil. Thus, despite the difficult asylum process ahead with little chances of success, this woman tells her daughter to say shes a warrior. Guess what your name . I am the girl answers. How did you, castro out a 0 eagle pass, texas. Heidi, how have things changed in the 24 hours or so since you put that report together, since you shot that footage a 0. This is incredible because this is actually the exact spot where we just showed you. And that story, that Border Patrol had cut a gap through this barbed wire for migrants to pass through. And as you can see, there is fresh brand new barbed wire that has been placed here to close back up that gap. So this is sort of, this is the response that were seeing Us Border Patrol will do one thing in a humanitarian way to get people out of the sign into the processing centers. And then the texas controlled National Guards will come right back in and do that work and closing up the gap. And that is leading to real consequences. The people that we were just talking to you about having staying here overnight because they arrived shortly after we put together that story you just saw. And they spent the entire night here in the dark, exposed to the elements, and theyre still waiting as a sun has come back up. Now its approaching again a 100 degrees fahrenheit, and theyre without water and they cant get past the spend and has again been put back up. So such as the flight that theyre enduring. And of course, potentially it will only be get worse. Thats what everyone is predicting here as thousands more. My friends are waiting for their opportunity to be in the position that these migrants are they cross the river. Theyre here. I think there everyone is alert now because they just heard the sounds of the Us Border Patrol boat that may just pass them by or maybe will actually stop and invite them aboard to take them safety. Heidi, a question about this group. If they dont find a way through the barbed wire or if nobody cuts it for them like like they did yesterday, and you showed me a report where did they go there . Im having a little hard time hearing you. I think i heard you ask about question about the barbed wire and just to explain it a little bit further because it is confusing. We have one us agency that is actually of the way but they havent instructed not to stop. And we have seen people step in, we have seen us us agents step in when there appear to be very obviously children who are at risk people who are obviously a medical distress. But i dont want to speak too soon. They may be coming back to rescue them, but it appears that this doesnt qualify as enough distress and the eyes of the Us Border Patrol according to their instructions. Right, heidi, i dont know if you can still hear me with the boat, but assuming they managed to make it to the other side of the barbed wire, then what happens to them . Your report said this is going to be a hard process and they may not be successful. Thats right, they will be taken to a processing center, which is actually just underneath a bridge. I saw a packet of water waiting for people. There are bathrooms, their snacks. So there is, there are the Resources Available once they somehow get past the razor wire to reach those resources. But yes, then the journey ahead of them is still very difficult in the terms of navigating the legal landscape of the United States. Because in order to claim asylum, and in order to plead their case before asylum judge, that takes months if not years because of a backlog. And there is so, even before they get to that point, they have to prove that they may have a chance of prevailing in their asylum claim. And if its determined, they dont even have a chance at all by us asylum officers were here at the border. Then they immediately are turned around to be deported to their home countries. And its hard to get transparency from the Us Government about this, but from the numbers in previous years, it somewhere like less actually make it to the point of, of submitting and assign them quite. So the vast majority of people who weve been meeting through these last few days, they will not have that chance because they do, they will be deemed unqualified. They will not have the qualification to uh, get asylum under us law. And they will be sent home. All right, if youre just joining us, you are watching live footage of the rio grande, which is the physical border between mexico and the southern United States that the house was yours, heidis, old castro reporting and the people you just saw there on the other side of the barbed wire are migrants that Asylum Seekers trying to make it into the us currently stuck behind the concertina wire. Heidi, thank you very much for your reporting. Within 3000 refugees have so far crossed into our media from the gore know camera back and follows as a by johns decision to type needs group on the region of to last week ceasefire with ethnic or median fighters. Year of on says its preparing to take in tens of thousands more who may sleep the election card or between our media and the board account back open to earlier this week to let in humanitarian aid and allow safe passage for those who want to leave to reach the sound events of aid reports from the election Border Crossing in azerbaijan. Theres been a city circle of people leaving the kind of a region. They say that it is no longer for its 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 the trucks coming in have youve seen cause via see loris. Weve seen everything that they could possibly use to pack whatever they can. And obviously it is not just the either by johnny to instead of there as well as the thing i mean is, 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 at the showing their presence in both sides of this Border Crossing and telling people that they are okay to go. They have to write any 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 stay and theyre not believing guarantees that are being given to them. As you saw, these cause have been checked, their names registered mail in passages who are not. The drivers are off to get off the cause they disembarked. They go through this processing beyond not crossing is armenia. Thats where people are heading into knots where theyre trying to find refuge. Weve spoken to some of them whose feel that it is not going to be easy sending the side that they have to leave everything behind. But the few that there is no other option for them, but to leave the newborn no car boss. The reason for joining we know from back who is Matthew Brice or the former us mediator in the going to care about conflict . Also a former us ambassador. Its as or by john, as or as a by john has been telling Ethnic Armenians that they can stay in the going to car back, that they will be safe. They will be protected, your thoughts on that to . Well, i cant understand why its, you know, thats like our media and what would be worried about what could happen . You know, there was a hor, horrendous bit of ethnic cleansing in the 1st phase of this complex 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 working on this complex either in government or in st 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 hazard by johnnys to come back to their old places, the president s and the neighbors again with the army unions. 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 the by john intends for it to be completely as or by johnny. Theyve said this, they said theyve re getting full 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 than it has kept in that region of cairo box. Since the end of the 2nd quarter, about 4, which by the way, it was a violation of the ceasefire statement. It has no leverage. And looking back at also by john i just said, you know, that as or by johns ambition 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 say, walk the walk in, proved that their rhetoric is sincere. 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 sense of security. But in terms of leverage, not really. Our media really doesnt have any leverage that has the force of the more or worse of making sure that the world is watching, and that its an a kinsman. And kims women are treated according to 2 International Human mall. Right. So you mentioned the antibodies on is going to have to prove to ethnic, armenians, indigo, and encounter 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 the by john isnt sincere and they have a track record of not keeping their promises. What do you said about to id say i understand why people in this situation would think that i, i, in my experience it hasnt been the case that as or by john hasnt kept its, its pledge is uh, for example, the ceasefire statement at the end of the 2nd quarter by 4 actually also by john hassle, looked up to those uh those commitments. And i was relieved to see that at the end of the war, the us are by johnny side chipped of slowing at that time. Humanitarian need and natural gas to the median population as it was evacuating. And i can only pray that that, that sort of behavior continues now, but i understand why theyre years consternation its, its only natural in that situation. Right . And then the ethic arming is just the context, save it since the end around the end of last year. Theyve been blockaded by the as or by johnnys that some basic goods havent been coming in, etc. So, can the russians be honest . Well, brokers, i dont know if its the right word because they also by johnny is the same. Hes a bilateral talks with the armenians that the russians are not brokers of these talks. But can they, can this force that the russians have on the ground guarantee, the safety and your view of the Ethnic Armenians . I know it probably can mean there 3000 Russian Troops. Their mandate is to go into those places and azerbaijan, from where the or median troops withdraw. So your media troops had not yet withdrawn in this past week. So the Russian Troops had no way to go in and provide any sort of protection best not to the mandate of a peace. Keep for peacekeepers that a peacemaker, a peacemaker, comes in and after the piece has been established and hopefully that piece has come. But i think that for, for the ethic Armenian Community to feel comfortable, as i said a few moments ago, there probably needs to be some sort of other International Observe formation in may be of the always c, e, or peacekeepers at least until us or by john has done what i said, i hope it will do, which is to prove that any sincere it sits in this whole process is going to require a lot of dialogue step by step, trust, building and natural examples of life Getting Better for those armenians who remain behind the hill, it seems like maybe the process has begun because now we see that the luncheon board or is fully open. We see that the, the leadership of the community and community is no longer rejecting humanitarian any that comes from the answer. But john, aside from the office dispute as was the case before us or by john was offering assistance from the city of dom and the local community said, no, well, for political reasons, were not going to accept it. I think were getting past all that now. But again, its going to be a long process up in the go shooting times. And to that point that you made about maybe a need for an outside force. That is something that our media actually advocated
