0:00:01 > 0:00:01See you.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14Good morning, I'm Ayshah with Friday's stories.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17First to the US, where there's been a big rise in people trying

0:00:17 > 0:00:23to cross over to Canada, the country next door.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26There's so many people trying to get across that there's now

0:00:26 > 0:00:27a special camp for them.

0:00:27 > 0:00:28So what's going on?

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Let's see.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Hundreds of people carrying all their belongings wait to cross

0:00:32 > 0:00:36the border in the hope of a new life in Canada.

0:00:36 > 0:00:42Canada is really, really beautiful, and the people are beautiful.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45They help each other.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48They've come from lots of different countries, but most of these

0:00:48 > 0:00:51migrants are from Haiti, in the Caribbean.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54A big earthquake hit the country in 2010 and many

0:00:54 > 0:00:57people escaped to the US - but now they're not sure

0:00:57 > 0:01:01whether they'll be allowed to stay in America.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04That's because President Donald Trump has promised to crack down

0:01:04 > 0:01:06on people from other countries who do not have permission

0:01:06 > 0:01:10to live in the US.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12But for those making the journey, there's no guarantee they'll be

0:01:12 > 0:01:14allowed to stay in Canada either.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18People hope a lot that things will be better for them

0:01:18 > 0:01:22and there will be, something will happen that will allow them to stay

0:01:22 > 0:01:27here, but it's a very long and very tiring process,

0:01:27 > 0:01:31and the risk of being sent back to their country is real here, too.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35And Canada is struggling to cope with its new arrivals.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39The city of Montreal has had to turn its Olympic Stadium

0:01:39 > 0:01:41into a temporary shelter, and the Canadian military has

0:01:41 > 0:01:44started building a camp for people to stay in.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48For those people queuing to get into the country,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51it's the start of a difficult journey towards starting

0:01:51 > 0:01:54another new life.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57In the athletics last night, the big event was the men's 200m final.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01The winner was Ramil Guliyev from Turkey.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05He beat the 400m champion and favourite Wayde van Niekerk,

0:02:05 > 0:02:09as well as Isaac Makwala, who had to run the heats by himself

0:02:09 > 0:02:13after he had a suspected tummy bug!

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Britiain's Dina Asher Smith is into tonight's women's 200m final

0:02:16 > 0:02:23after running her season's best of 22.73 to finish second.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26And one man who's proven himself to be one of Britain's greatest ever

0:02:26 > 0:02:30athletes is Sir Mo Farah.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Tomorrow he'll run his last race on the track.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Let's take a look back at his amazing career.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58when he was only eight years old.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01He barely knew a word of English, but it was here that he first

0:03:01 > 0:03:04realised he could run - and fast!

0:03:04 > 0:03:07From then on, there was no stopping him.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11His first major win came in 2011 when he took gold in the 5000m

0:03:11 > 0:03:15at the World Championships in South Korea.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Mo moved to the US and trained hard in some tough

0:03:18 > 0:03:22conditions, but it paid off.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25He stormed the London 2012 Olympics, picking up two golds and, of course,

0:03:25 > 0:03:31celebrating with his famous Mobot.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Mo took the double again at Rio, and another gold in last week's

0:03:35 > 0:03:3810,000m sealed his place as one of the greatest British

0:03:38 > 0:03:39athletes of all time.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Don't worry, it won't be the last we see of Mo,

0:03:43 > 0:03:46because he will be switching over to marathon running instead.
