New migrant caravan begins trek from Honduras to US

Hundreds of Hondurans have left the city of San Pedro Sula in a migrant caravan travelling northwards through Guatemala and Mexico, towards the United States.
Flyers distributed via social media advertised the time and place of departure. Early indications suggest this group is not as big as one which approached the US last October, but it comes at a more politically sensitive point, with the ongoing row over President Trump's planned border wall between Mexico and the US. Sarah Kinosian is a journalist travelling with this new migrant caravan.
