grant spoke to us earlier about secretary of state blinken�*s visit to mexico.ou tell us, what were the significant outcomes of this meeting between antony blinken and the homeland security secretary and the mexican president? well, i think these were very much crisis talks, weren't they? i mean, they are organised pretty hastily between christmas and new year, that's unusual in and of itself. we don't know the specifics of exactly what elements of this crisis they spoke about because we were not allowed to speak to the delegations afterwards. there was no media conference, no press conference. we don't know that there was any major policy decisions reached because they have not announced any. we find it unlikely that there would have been. but, clearly, there is value in sitting down face—to—face between the two sides when there is all this going on at the us border with mexico, some 10,000 people a day being detained and, of course, a caravan of somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 migrants from central america and other nations making its way through mexican te

earlier, i spoke about the meeting with our mexico correspondent will grant.ou tell us, what were the significant outcomes of this meeting between antony blinken and the homeland security secretary and the mexican president? well, i think these were very much crisis talks, weren't they? they are organised pretty hastily between christmas and new year, that is unusual in and of itself. we do not know the specifics of exactly what elements of this crisis they spoke about because we are not allowed to speak to the delegation afterwards. there was no media conference, no press conference. we don't know that there was any major policy decisions reached because they have not announced any. we find it unlikely that there would have been. but, clearly, there is value in sitting down face—to—face between the two sides when there is all this going on at the us border with mexico, some 10,000 people a day being detained and, of course, a caravan of somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 migrants from central america and other nations making its way through mexican territory

i will grant that. am also very convinced that taking health insurance away from millions of you as children, will not turn around rates of marriage among parents and this is why i reject these calls to, if the safety net is even less generous, then we solve the problem. and so even if i'm willing to grant that some people in the margin might be more inclined to have a nonmarital birth or be a single mom, because there is some measure of basic support out there, i don't think it is a major driver and i don't think making the safety net more stingy will meaningfully turnaround things. >> okay. we have just a few minutes left. tell us what you think would make a difference in terms of policy to either reverse the trend or stabilize the ones getting worse? >> what i am hoping will come with this book and what i feel strongly about is that we need to consider the issue of gaps and family structure and a high share of kids in the u.s. living with one parent. we need to take this is a policy matter with polic

i asked our latin america correspondent will grant what the impact is of the vote, and how likely itelena, because there isn't any real meaningful no campaign going on. i think what the litmus test you mentioned will be is whether the maduro administration can really mobilise their support in large numbers still. i think if we see a big abstention rate, that will show that people simply cannot be bothered to engage with this, that they maybe see it as simply a nationalistic move by mr maduro and his government ahead of next year's collections. the impact, of course, if it is passed — and particularly if it is passed with a large backing — is the echo of the sabre rattling to the neighbour guyana. people there are feeling very uneasy and dismayed about what's going on. you, again, you mentioned the word �*annexation�* — i think that is their greatest fear, that this could descend into some kind of falklands malvinas—style conflict and this dispute that has been in place for almost 200 years turns military — that there will be some kind of attempt to reclaim the territory by venezuela.

san jose has been awarded 12.9 million in federal grant money that will go towards improvements at somee city's deadliest intersections, like this one at canoas garden and curtner. >> we still have a long way to go to make our streets safer for everyone, and this federal support will enable us to save more lives in the years ahead. the grant money will go towards building a protected intersection that keeps bikes separated from traffic, a new sidewalk to fill the gap that's missing, and traffic signal improvements. >> d.o.t. director john ristow says each project funded by the grant will offer improvements based on the location to make these dangerous corridors safer. each one of them has been the site of a tragic fatality or more, and that's why we're making these pretty dramatic and significant improvements to the intersection itself. >> it really is going to make a change to what driver behavior is going to be like as well as the people using it. the leblanc family knows nothing can bring back their son or others lost in traffic crashes, but with 47 more traffic jets this year in san

as i say, i genuinely believe that the grant rate will— genuinely believe that the grant rate will continue we take appropriate decisions on a case—by—case basis but i'm not sure if operationally you may be able to add a _ if operationally you may be able to add a bit _ if operationally you may be able to add a bit more. reign thank you, minister~ — add a bit more. reign thank you, minister. statistically there is a bil minister. statistically there is a big difference in the output in that quarter~ _ big difference in the output in that quarter~ it — big difference in the output in that quarter. it will also be the fact that you — quarter. it will also be the fact that you will be aware we introduced the streaming of asylum processing of nationalities where we used to more _ of nationalities where we used to more efficient process. in quarter three, i thought _ more efficient process. in quarter three, i thought you'd _ more efficient process. in quarter three, i thought you'd done - more efficient process. in quarter three, i thought you'd done that l three, i thought you'd done that befo

grant says pressure is growing on the white house to come up with a practical solution, even thoughke no mistake, these are crisis talks, in essence. we need to set it into context, the fact that somewhere in the region of 10,000 undocumented migrants a day have been detained in the us during certain points of december. you mentioned the caravan making its way north from tapachula, on the border with guatemala, hoping to make it to the united states. that always brings a lot of media and political attention on the question of migration. and now in christmas week, between christmas and new year, this high—level meeting, that's very, very unusual. you're right also to point out that president lopez 0brador won't be in power next year, but it's very, very likely that his party will be. and when we're in these election cycles, it's sort of in everybody�*s interest to at least find common ground. and i think one thing the mexican president wants from these discussions is more commitment by the united states to at least talk to cuba, to talk to venezuela about migration and about how to s
