Between 7,000 and 8,000 migrants, including families with young children, have entered Guatemala since Friday, authorities say, fleeing poverty and violence in a region hammered by the coronavirus pandemic and back-to-back hurricanes in November.
The coronavirus pandemic has battered Honduras' economy, which last year suffered its worst contraction on record. Even if the migrants do get past, Mexico is preparing to stop them at its southern border with hundreds of security forces, arguing it must contain the spread of the virus. Video footage shared by the Guatemalan government showed hundreds of migrants, bounded by a hillside, pressing into a wall of security forces, which used sticks to repel the surge. An unspecified number of people were injured, authorities said.
Mexico, it said, was committed to orderly and regulated migration and would oppose any form of unauthorized entry.

Why do they not just get involved and fix their own country?

Canada to face new pressures to confront China as Biden advocates for a more united approachUnder Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Canadian mantra on China has been ‘challenge and co-operate.’ With Joe Biden as president, will Ottawa also be willing to confront? Well of course he did. America is the good guy again. A more unified approach? Neither Biden or Trudeau have shown strength against China. This is a joke! The USA has used up all its tools at hands against China under Trump and has not been effective. Biden recognizes that and will seek compromise with China. Canada will see ourself fall behind a year from now.

Biden likely to keep Space Force, a Trump favouriteTo the last moments of his presidency, Donald Trump trumpeted Space Force as a creation for the ages. And while U.S. President Joe Biden has quickly undone other Trump initiatives, the space-faring service seems likely to survive, even if the new administration pushes it lower on the list of defence priorities. Defund the space force! Dumb. Unless you’re getting ready to play space invaders, it’s fiscally irresponsible. That country needs billions put back into the economy to get it running again. It’s a year, maybe two behind mainland Europe and Canada in fiscal recovery. likely? bullshit. space isn't ours to protect or fight over. it belongs to everyone. all humans. Space should be ventured into multinationally. shouldn't be privatized as seems to be heading. rich have stolen the Earth, don't let them steal the stars too. fuck Trump's stupid idea
