5:14 am
the electoral afar. the headquarters here in key to my head of sunday's selections . you can see that security has been increased, but when you talk to ordinary equity orange, they tell you that they don't make them feel safe, that they're not part of the solution. but often part of the problem in ecuador is penitentiary and security forces are in league with criminal gangs, and drug leaders, corruption and penetration of organized climb into state institutions. specially, security forces is undeniable. this man who didn't want to give his name says everyone knows that even the justice system is corrupted every day, more body to peer somewhere decapitated or dismembered, or hanging from the bridge. what has happened to this country? your god with violence isn't the only problem. 70 year old gustavo, somebody general sales dispense and the city center,

but he has a lot of competition everywhere people are selling whatever they can to survive here, no one will give you even a piece of bread. if you don't look for ways to buy a piece of bread, no one will give you a crumbs mounted unemployment, poverty and crime connected fear through the cost of using what the wind blew for the month. 7 out of 10 people don't have formal look good. so how can we expect that a country living at cape poverty to fair amount they won't be violent? that's impossible is money. there's little expectation that whoever is elected will be able to solve the crisis, which is why more of the doors than ever before are leading their country in search of the work and safety. see a newman al jazeera people will still head here on al jazeera, hung up in poverty made was by corruption weeks ago. the issues dominating sundays election in guatemala. and he'll take home the biggest prize in women's football,

5:18 am
the journey is incredibly difficult for many people to manage to get out. but it's a great cost in depth analysis of the days headlines, questions really, who controls that goes on an outer space in the future to be governments for won't be big part of the corporations and individuals across the billing. there's inside story on al jazeera, the, the, [000:00:00;00] the book about kill. what y'all just bear with me. so robin in doug, holler about the of all the top new stories. the transmitter to beula has proposed a 3 year transition of power and the west african leaders made another attempt at diplomacy to reverse the cube. the statements by general of the monday gianni
5:19 am
fathered toltz with a delegation from the reef still blow excellence. some 55000 residence in western canada have been fools to evacuate. the homes is 2 separate one, funds get to place the 5 boxes they're using to take this helicopters to bottle defiance and northwest territories. and in british columbia fiduciary is a parents of votes and sundays general election of the shunt of a violence of the sun. sedation of a presidential candidates, the army has been deployed to deliver the election materials to polling stations as well. that's good only is anyone's going to the polls. guatemalans also heading to the polls on sunday and the presidential run off the scene as a test of the country's democracy polling stations sets up in schools in terms of being place, be gone by police and the ministry voters will choose between congressman but now the other follow of the progressive seeds movement and some of the thought i'd say
5:20 am
fold the 1st they'd be representing the conservative national unity of hope that spring in monthly the amount of gain he's the executive director of transparency international. guatemala joins us now from guatemala city. mr. markeen, thanks for joining us of the program. another election full time dealing with violence and corruption seem to be occurring, you might say, as a theme in elections across the matter. because right now, how do you sort of assess the public's opinion about how the election is going? well the other thing we're going to have um, when we say a normal election, i think the, the parties barre hoping to have a decent book to maybe when we bring a chance for change, is there a certain time you think who is the or, or c d, the to show you the
5:21 am
a quote or have central sport. yeah, according to loopholes he's, he's a huge small winner of the election. we 70 percent more or less a so $5043.00. a hoping to these and make sure we bring a change for the quality because the country is really in a, by the shape rolling by the corrupt government, a which controls or the power seat of the state. so people is really hoping for a change in terms of the move to the move. been tough to the 1st round, the voting you puts you able to assess the, the, well, just the validity, but the clarity of the vote. what was your general assessment about the way the voting progressed about the way the public was able to access voting booze to be
5:22 am
able to catch the ballots in a free, a free democratic collection? yeah, because each of the dishes for the elections are like considering norma, there's really, there is freedom, you know, to, i mean, to, to go to the bottom. i think the be a challenge for you said they sure is. that'd be cool. herman is, is really unhappy of yours. so in the 1st row that anyone who is running for the, for the 2nd round, because she's what she was saying. she what a surprise. so, and they, they really want to find a way to stop the lecture tomorrow. but we have so much of service from the european union, from the audience. so it's gonna be very difficult for them to mean to bring the election. but the people,
5:23 am
this range is really holding this opportunity to, to have our chest for a change for the country. the you did allude to the fact the corruption was a huge issue. now the us, as, for example, place sanctions on various parts of the political establishment on the country, accusing them of corrupt practices over the years. in your opinion, how soon after the selection most, the new government, whoever they are, clean up direct if it's to deal with issues of the economy, inflation, cause those are the issues of the public want to see dealt with. they is yeah, well the only government discarded by what we call the role back in the government sector, go over me. go home today is the courts. so in the us and older allies for the country a. and they are also hoping for
5:24 am
a change because they are not so much the product that lies. so i think, i think the, what the corner we will be going to do since march the been on the selections, the guarding measuring is, is, is doing good. and the impression is going down. so what we expect is to have a b, c, a decent government, the whole thing deliver more of the services to the, to the public. mostly what happens after the election is a concluded for the movement inside the medicaid. some transparency internationally in guatemala, thank you for your time. thank you. the you and has a poland to end what it calls the very different treatment of ukrainian add new training and refugees. people from africa ultimately say that they often find it difficult to circulate in poland, done become part of the community that they play and politicians are feeling discrimination unsatisfied. so i've been job, it has moved from well,
5:25 am
so this would voltage is a refuge, an uplift event, and a place to find help. life isn't easy for people of african descent in poland. country that is more than 96 percent white, nigerian born or ins is set up this group for black people to express themselves in the public space. he's been racially profiled and violently attacked. good the pardon me monkey. what are you doing? well, i'm go by. do you have to close this business because of what he calls racism ends in a phobia life about black people here in the impala is very difficult. the very difficult difficulty in every aspect that when i give our pop meant to ask for it as we know we have black, you just need to accept that we're all human being. so you saw about a step times just to accept who yeah, i'm proud of why i'm and always be black rims. is it pull? if josh, though he says life is even more difficult for refugees and asylum seekers, according to the un, non ukrainians,
5:26 am
don't enjoy the same legally productions. poland has accepted more than a 1000000 refugees from ukraine, but there is a toxic debate around migrants based on their religion at the city and even the color of their skin. a 2018 campaign add by the governing party maintains an influx of immigrants when the cause of aver free for the violence of the political parties spread similar to messages of division. and this opposition leader and former president of the european council of dunham tusk. criticizes the government for welcoming migrants from the middle east and african countries. and the list saves into full view, has deep roots. both parties for publish society is still very mono cultural. in other words, simply very wide. we lack people of a different skin color who we'd normally see on the street. the acceptance of various types of the other is low and autonomy society. this does not apply to migrants of a different skin color, but to old people who stand out, gosh, are left her home and ukraine been the war begun. she volunteers of this community
5:27 am
kitchen. her experience of poland has been very different. is, may have, is this for us, the phones off and have some kind of health. but both those see about that issue. just like they have small problems when people from over to, to like, not from slow rodney to group a type to find sled insightful them. i would like people to what to be su, ends in that of that. we can not because to move on to like it's just like have decided that this would be some of a oh oh and that acceptance is what all the refugees want, whatever they come from. so i'm, i mean, driving down to 0 or so now i think that will take hold spain in the foot. women's world cup final is taking
5:28 am
