hello sunshine happy Friday Friday I'm
KY wire this is CNN 10 the best 10
minutes in news where we tell you the
what letting you decide what to think
we're going to start today with the
latest news on migrants in the US the
headline the number of people crossing
the US Mexico border is on the ride
border patrol agents apprehended more
than 200,000 migrants illegally crossing
the US Mexico border in September alone
the highest number this year why
analysts say there's a complex mix of
factors at play here including changes
to the US border policy back in May
increases in violence in certain parts
of Mexico and economic crisis in places
like Venezuela the issues at the border
are not new several presidential
administrations in a row have wrestled
with the situation and the solutions are
not simple how much money should the
government spend on border security what
methods should be used to secure the
Border how should people trying to cross
the border be processed those are just
some of the biggest sticking points with
this issue the city of San Diego
California recently declared a
humanitarian crisis asking for more
Federal resources in dealing with the
increase of migrants CNN's Camila Bernal
is in San Diego at the US Mexico border
to give us a closer look at the growing
crisis a dramatic increase hundreds of
migrants almost constantly arriving in
waves into the California border what
country Russia sometimes 50 or 100 or
just five many with the help of a
so-called coote or Smuggler we ran into
one operating openly at the border he
asked us not to show his face and
distort his voice let me get he says to
get to the US you need at at least
$2,500 the illegal trafficking of people
operating almost like a travel agency
the cootes arranged the trip starting in
the Middle East Asia south or Central
America then they buy plane tickets and
tell migrants exactly where to go with
each paying a few thousand or between 9
to 12,000 for Mexican Nationals the
business is
lucrative he says they're at war with
another cartel and so the only way they
can get money is by bringing people
in people like
alexanderia he says he came here because
of the violence that you live in
Colombia the number of hundreds of
people being here at any given time over
the last couple weeks is not normal
behind me is Mexico this is an area in
Boulevard California where there is a
gap in the border wall so a lot of the
migrants are able to just walk into the
United States they continue this walk
along Ong the border wall and eventually
turn themselves into border patrol this
is where that Asylum process begins San
Diego is not the only city dealing with
an influx of migrants and Asylum seekers
in New York City the shelter system is
straining under the influx of migrants
so officials are pushing back against a
legal agreement that says they have to
provide emergency housing this week the
mayor of New York City Eric Adams is
traveling through Latin America where he
says he will discourage migrants from
coming to New York and in Chicago the
governor JB pritzer and the mayor
Brandon Johnson confronted top White
House officials demanding they take
steps to address the migrant crisis
President Biden pledged in 2020 to never
build another foot of wall along the US
Mexico border saying that it was not a
serious policy solution but now citing
High illegal entry his administration
has just announced it will wave 26
federal laws in order to build and add
20 more miles of Border barrier in the
Rio Grand Valley it's an area with
especially High illegal entries from
last October to August there were nearly
300,000 encounters there there are no
easy solutions and the number of border
crossings is expected to increase
further as local and federal agencies
continue to Grapple with
Solutions 10c trivia cabal is the
capital city of what country Pakistan
Afghanistan Saudi Arabia or
[Music]
Yemen
Cabo is the capital of Afghanistan a
nation of about 39 million
people next we have a story about a
courageous group of young women in
Afghanistan who are having to secretly
get an education the Taliban radical
group took over the country in 2021
after the US controversially pulled out
its troops and that's when life got
difficult especially for women they shut
down schools for women they banned them
from from public spaces but we're about
to meet a group of young women who are
sneaking and secretly getting an
education because they feel it's
absolutely worth the
risk you are witnessing a courageous Act
of rebellion young girls gathered to
learn in a secret classroom to the
Taliban they are criminals defying a ban
on female education but these students
say they're determined to continue their
schooling no matter the cost
two of them told us
why I've told myself that even if the
Taliban arrests me I will stand up and
tell them I don't want to be kept at
home she says I just want to learn and
that is not a
crime CNN was granted access to this
underground classroom on the condition
we conceal the identity of the students
and staff and keep the location hidden
around 30 students huddle into this
little room to learn everything from
science to math to tailoring and
drawing this is one of nine secret
schools that educate more than 400 girls
across eight Afghan provinces it is
operated by a clandestine Network called
sarak families find the program through
word of mouth and demand is
growing it was founded by this woman
pisto hakeim she says because of her
activism She was recently forced to flee
Afghanistan but in the summer of 2021
as kabell fell to the Taliban she tells
us she anticipated the ban on female
education and got to work so we were
watching some documentaries I was
looking at Afghan woman sitting uh up
ngos in like hi and undergrounded places
inspired in part by Christian and Po's
1996 CNN documentary battle for
Afghanistan hakeim began to follow the
example of women set nearly 25 years ago
I love my work it's my right to work and
I need to work Afghanistan is fully
shattered it is in darkness the Taliban
is forcing women into this Darkness
effectively erasing them from much of
public life the UN says the group's
Draconian rules May amount to gender
parate in crimes against
humanity but this little classroom in
the shadows provides array of
Hope the school is like a light for me
she says it is like a road for me that I
can see happiness and sunrise at the end
of it Brave women and girls dreaming of
a future without the Taliban and boldly
preparing to step out into the light
[Applause]
