If denied, Marcial and her husband, Alvin
Reyes, 39, said they would try to build a
life in Mexico and possibly in Tijuana,
where they are living in a spartan church
dormitory whose bunk beds are luxurious
compared to the camps where thousands
of other migrants from the caravan sleep
in tents on hard ground.

Alvin Jr. was born with a shock
of dark hair in a hospital in
Puebla, Mexico, on Nov. 12,
about six weeks premature.
If they have any asylum claim, it
would be related to violence in
their hometown, where a
shootout at the cantina near
their house peppered their
walls with bullet holes and
killed a man whose body lay in
a pool of blood at their
doorstep, they said.

Erly Marcial of Honduras joined the United States-bound migrant
caravan with her family even though the 21-year-old was nearly
eight months pregnant. She gave birth to a healthy baby on the
grueling trail and is now hoping for another miracle.
She and her family are stuck in Tijuana, Mexico, at the doorstep of
the United States, with President Donald Trump vowing to keep
the migrants out.

"If only God would soften his heart,"
she said of Trump. "Because he has a
heart of flesh and blood, not of
stone."

Thanks to the generosity of
strangers in her path, plus the
intervention of Mexican
healthcare workers and the
Honduran consulate in
Mexico City, Marcial
completed the more than
2,800-mile (4,500-km)
journey over several weeks,
sometimes walking in rubber
sandals for hours with a
bulging belly.

Reyes could not make a
living as a cobbler in the
town of Sabá in Honduras,
so they decided to join the
caravan, usually lagging
behind while pushing a baby
carriage with their 2-year-
old son David and their 6-
year-old daughter María.

She and her family have started
on the long path to seeking
asylum but it could be months
before they get their first
interview with U.S. officials.
The United States has granted
only 13.8 percent of Honduran
asylum claims in the latest fiscal
year compared to 20.9 percent
for asylum seekers worldwide,
according to Justice Department
data.

make up a larger portion of their overall expenses, so a fuel price
increase eats up more of their paycheck and leaves with less to

Reuters / Friday, December 07,

Yellow vests are hung outside
windows of an apartment
building in support of the
"yellow vests" movement in
Marseille, France, December 7,
2018. The protests, named after
the fluorescent jackets French
motorists are required to keep
in their cars, erupted in
November over the squeeze on
household budgets caused by
fuel taxes. Demonstrations
swiftly grew into a broad,
sometimes-violent rebellion
against Macron, with no formal
leader. Their demands are
diverse and include lower taxes,
higher salaries and Macron's
resignation. REUTERS/Jean-Paul

They were blocked from reaching the government quarter by riot police
using water cannon and tear gas. Some of the crowd hurled rocks and
firecrackers at them.
I could see the police were losing patience. So I picked a position close to
them, so they could see I was a journalist doing my job and not part of the
protest.
Police squads started surrounding protesters, sending in snatch teams to
arrest individuals. As the march was organised on social media without
approval from the authorities, police took the view that anyone involved
could be detained and taken away. Most are quickly released without
charge.
When one young man was seized, a young woman with him rushed towards
the line of police, shouting that he had done nothing wrong. She had no
mask or helmet and nothing in her hands. She wasn't even wearing one of
the fluorescent yellow vests adopted by the movement.

As politicians haggle at a U.N.
climate conference in Poland
over ways to limit global
warming, the industries and
machines powering our
modern world keep spewing
their pollution into the air and
water.

Fumes from cars are also playing their role
in poisoning the air in many cities, from
Jakarta and Katmandu to Moscow to
Brussels.
Environmentalists in Katowice are
warning that time is running out to
prevent ecological disaster, a message
also being taken up by artists.
In London, 24 large blocks of glacial ice
from the waters surrounding Greenland
have been placed in front of the Tate
Modern and six at other city locations.
Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson
hopes his installation, called “Ice Watch”
and launched Tuesday to coincide with the
climate conference in Katowice, will
impact people emotionally and inspire
urgent public action.
The installation will be on show until the
ice melts.

The devastating wildfires, droughts,
floods and hurricanes of recent months
and years are intensifying the urgency
of the two-week conference in
Katowice, which is due to end Friday.
But not far from the conference center,
plumes of smoke rise from Europe’s
largest lignite, or brown coal, power
plant, in the central Polish town of
Belchatow. Of the 50 most polluted
cities in the European Union, 36 are in
Poland.
Elsewhere, from the U.S. to Japan and
China, the coal plants, oil refineries and
other installations needed to power
factories and heat homes are playing
their role in a warming earth.

The negotiators at the
international talks are also
discussing financial support to
poor countries, which are bearing
the brunt of drought and
flooding, which translate often
into agricultural disaster and
famine and are a factor behind
greater migration.
The challenge of reducing
emissions is made more difficult
by the growing demand in the
developing world for fuel as
people there also seek to achieve
the benefits and comforts of the
industrialized world.
In Africa and Asia, which have
become dumping grounds for the
rich world’s waste, it is now
common to see poor people
scavenging for scraps of paper
and other recyclable materials at
garbage dumps, competing
sometimes with crows or storks.In this Monday, Dec. 10, 2018 photo, Indian

Music for elephants

Elephants eat their breakfast as they
listen British volunteer Paul Barton

about 3,000 elephants at tourist
venues in Thailand, Cambodia, India,
Laos, Nepal and Sri Lanka, endure
poor living conditions and diets and
are overworked, according to the
animal welfare group World Animal
Protection. The animals at Elephants
