| 0:00.0 | This is CBS High in the World. I'm John Bachelor and I welcome my colleagues, Chuck |
| 0:09.2 | Holton and Michael Jan. Chuck and Michael are traveling now in the Mediterranean basin, |
| 0:17.3 | traveling between Borderlands. They've spent the last months in Panama. Panama is a border |
| 0:25.3 | land between South America and North America, the Central American Borderland. But on |
| 0:30.5 | the frontier, it is a passageway for the Great Migration now underway. In the United States, |

| 1:58.2 | evening to you, Michael. Good evening. I'm actually looking out over the Mediterranean sea right now. |
| 2:03.9 | It's very calm. The waves are about two inches high. I see children splashing around out there. |
| 2:08.3 | Sun's going down. In fact, are the migrants friendly? One of them is sitting right beside me from |
| 2:13.6 | Algeria. His name is Open. Chuck and I have been running around with him all day today and a little |
