A Mexican drug baron - known as the new El Chapo - is accused of ordering the murder of pregnant women and babies in an escalating cocaine cartel war. Nemesio Osegura Cervantes, 'El Mencho', has picked up where the infamous Joaquin Guzman, formerly El Chapo, left off, according to federal investigators. His feared Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) are suspected of running drugs over land and sea into the United States while fighting a bloody war and indiscriminately killing women and children. Recent footage showed foot soldiers suspected of belonging to CJNG wearing terrifying clown masks and brandishing weapons in Tamaulipas state close to the border. Last month 44 corpses - many of them belonging to women - were hauled from a well in Jalisco state where CJNG is headquartered. 😱 #WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE 👮🏻‍♂️

Authorities in Southern Mexico detained hundreds of African, Caribbean and Central American migrants who were heading north Sunday as part of an up to 2,000-person caravan aiming to reach the United States. The group set out before sunrise Saturday from the town of Tapachula, Mexico, where many had been marooned for months unsuccessfully trying to get transit visas. They carried heavy backpacks, babies and parcels on their heads. Just before dusk, after having trudged more than 20 miles north, they were surrounded by hundreds of National Guard agents and police who persuaded the exhausted migrants to board vans back to Tapachula. Children cried, and women complained angrily about waiting months for papers. It was unclear if any would be deported.

Rescue workers waded through muddy, waist-high waters today searching for missing people after one of the worst typhoons to hit Japan in recent history, as officials warned of more rain later in the day. Digging through mudslides and searching near swollen rivers, the rescuers looked for those missing after as many as 48 people were killed and hundreds were injured in central and northern Japan. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said vast areas had been struck by the storm and called for urgent support to the affected by the devastating typhoon Hagibis. At least 40 people were killed in the typhoon that left vast sections of towns in central and eastern Japan under water, with another 16 missing and 189 injured, public broadcaster NHK said. Tens of thousands of rescue workers and a fleet of helicopters have fanned out in the affected areas, officials said. 🌪💦😱

Ecuador's president and indigenous leaders reached an agreement yesterday to end nearly two weeks of violent protests against austerity measures adopted to obtain a multi-billion-dollar loan from the IMF. The demonstrations have left seven people dead and were sparked when President Lenin Moreno scrapped fuel subsidies to obtain a $4.2 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, causing prices to double. Moreno met with Jaime Vargas, the head of the indigenous umbrella grouping CONAIE, for four hours of talks in the capital Quito which were broadcast live on state television. 'With this agreement, the mobilisations... across Ecuador are terminated and we commit ourselves to restoring peace in the country,' said a joint statement, adding the government had withdrawn an order that removed fuel subsidies.
