6:00 am
great to after a week they're not getting any further and any closer to getting into the united states at the moment they're sort of being couldn't doff by mexican authorities it's all quite peaceful and remember there's about there's more than there's about five thousand noble people that are into one or in total in this caravan says quite a small number of them but these people have been here for about a week now there's been triple the number that have arrived in this week's this is a growing population of central americans playing poverty or violence in their homelands and they want to get to the other side of this border they want to get to the united states and start a new life that's looking very improbable because president trump and is of ministration are really dead set against they've been labeling these people as criminals and as gang members and seemingly cos the plan is to stop them get across and as part of that plan john we know that president trump is ordered the use of lethal force against migrants on the border with mexico what's been the reaction to
6:01 am
that has it done anything to dampen the spirits of those trying to get seen ited states. it's really interesting actually because you'd think that they'd be well informed about what president trump is saying and the the sort of the nuisance coming out in the united states side but people have a very hazy picture of the obstacles in front of them what we've heard time and time again from people is well i hope that president trumps heart is touched so that he lets us across and as we've been reporting that's very unlikely to be happening the president is very dead set against this some of the people talking about trying to speed up the process of a seeing if there's a way that they can get across probably illegal here illegally here so there is a very hazy sort of. knowledge of what's in front of them as they try and go on this last step. the journey we've been hearing
6:02 am
a little bit today president trump has been threatening to shut the border which would mean an enormous loss of commerce we've been hearing today that perhaps united states authorities applying to so shop one or more of these border crossing points temporarily while these protests goes on but we have to go back confirmed. and john you are reporting that from tijuana and the had been concerns about protests and opposition to migrants and refugees that were coming through tell us about reaction from the sort of population there in tijuana and if any measures are being taken to protect the migrants in the refugees. well the police chief was speaking to us into one of yesterday and he was saying this is a perfect storm brewing as he just said is triple the number of people arrived in the last week they've only got one camp at the moment and not so much food to
6:03 am
overflowing the authorities here as far as we know of yet to make a decision on where they're going to house the people that keep coming what they're saying is that they need federal help a ways they're not going to have to deal with this thing coming population the federal government at the moment in mexico is changing hands to go and outgoing administration and a new president that's going to take control in the first of december since sort of a bit of a vacuum of power as well there now the civilian population as you mentioned into want to have been move resistant than other towns in mexico to the people passing through and i think maybe it's just that they're not really passing through they're stuck here that the central america aren't happy about that the problem many townspeople into quanah they're looking at this going over months and there's lots of rumors going around on social media that these people aren't accepting the food that they're being given that there's criminals the same sort of thing that president trump saying over the u.s.
6:04 am
side but at the moment things are still peaceful there haven't been any attacks on the the people from central america and vice versa we haven't heard of any attacks from migrants on the townspeople here but this is a situation that's obviously not going to get better the longer that the people are here for thank you very much from tijuana with all the latest on that story john holliman as much more still ahead for you in this news hour from london a day off to jailing a british student the life the united arab emirates says it's determined to protect its relationship with the u.k. in one thousand a sions is saying the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere hit and record last year and what's in and named tyler needs prepare to vote on what to call that team at the olympics coming up with peter. in.
6:05 am
the u.k. prime minister says breaks at negotiations have reached a critical moment burson has now agreed to a draft dail on its future relationship with the european union and to resume a saying that she will do everything possible to deliver it. is scheduled to vote on the agreement on sunday reports now from westminster in central london to speak i would like to update the house on a go see a sions to leave the european union a crucial step forward in britain's brics a journey we haven't agreed text between the u.k. and the european commission the negotiations are now to a critical moment and all our efforts must be focused on working with our european partners to bring this process to a final conclusion in the interests of all off people. a draft political declarations now in place determining the future political relationship between the e.u. and he. for the twenty six page document was attacked by politicians to crossing some of the government's earlier red lines and failing to provide many details this
6:06 am
empty document could have been written two years ago it's happened with phrases such as the parties will look at the parties we'll explore watch on earth as the government been doing for the last two years. the paper makes no mention of frictionless trade between the e.u. and u.k. scene is vital for the health of the british economy. the e.u. and u.k. will be regarded as two separate markets making hard barry is almost inevitable. it has big implications here on the border between northern ireland a part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland and a you member the u.k. says it's now pursuing a high tech solution to keep goods and people moving. the draft plan also says both sides and to provide visa free travel only for short term visits longer trips may now require visas. in addition the document leaves room for an extension of the two
6:07 am
year transition period after breaks it aimed at easing britain's departure but it also means the u.k. will be subject to european rules for longer without any e.u. voting rights the plans will now be decided on a political level by e.u. leaders have brussels on sunday it's been an extremely busy few days for the british prime minister she has been successfully able to hammer out draft proposals on firstly the withdrawal agreement and now a declaration of a future political relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. but history's amaze big breaks it plans head to brussels she knows that those plans could flounder at any stage either voted down by the e.u. or voted down here in parliament and i commend this statement. the park. well joining me now in the studio is allan wage a he is a research associate for the u.k. and a changing your initiative at king's college london so you will be a very busy man and then my when we have reached the stage of
6:08 am
a draft withdrawal agreement being reached what does it reveal about the future of the u.k.'s relationship with the e.u. it reveals very little so i think the point of it and the way it's been sold politically is it doesn't really resolve anything it was meant to be a withdrawal agreement for everybody and that's what he meant ended up being for nobody in the house of commons today from all sorts sides from from labor from s.n.p. and from my trees amazin back benches there was frustration that i actually didn't resolve any of the key questions about bricks it. nicholas describes a blind for exit and that's that mean that was the idea they would get through the house of commons if it didn't really resolve all the issues and left them for later in the local there's a lot of opposition to it now politically and of course the agreement won't now has to be approved essentially by the u.k. parliament by certain e.u. institutions it's not going to mean anything if that doesn't happen currently most
6:09 am
m.p.'s are against this draft agreement is that likely to change over fifty percent of conservative backbenchers now from oppose the deal and labor currently opposes the deal and it looks very unlikely almost impossible for it to get through parliament the first time trying and the sort of increase speculation that maybe. the second attempt that might be more likely to get through the house of commons but the moment succeed in a second attempt where fails maybe there's market pressure or there's pressure from the financial markets and so on against a no deal scenario is whether or not this is a bargain that the prime minister's been frameworks at us for a long time my deal or no deal at all so this. is essentially part of tourism a strategy is that if it doesn't get through parliament it would create volatility and instability in the markets and the markets would essentially force the hand of the politicians here but the problem with it potentially is that if she
6:10 am
loses very badly then it's difficult to see how it should be able to stay as prime minister many of these political positions in the conservative party so deeply held that it's very difficult to see that any financial pressure in the short term may be a significant drop in sterling having the effect that's needed to get the deal through because the parliament or if it is so difficult for the moment so what what then happens next what is the so-called plan b. if you have m.p.'s on both sides of the brics that divide extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with this week early everyone's waiting until the tenth of december when this meeting vote will be before revealing the next plan for this sort of voting down the deal is meant to be seen as a symbolic moment and then only after that will there be. pressure from the for labor to support a second referendum for example or for the referendum or for no deal plans to be
6:11 am
wrapped up and these are all things that could happen if it looks like the deal can get through the house of commons thank you very much it's going to be an interesting few months thanks very much alan wager thank you very much. the united arab emirates says it's determined to protect its strategic relationship with person a day after sentencing a british student to life in prison for spying the u.a.e. denied that thirty one year old matthew hedges had been treated unfairly insisting he had been given access to a translator but it said both sides would work to find an amicable solution hedges his family accuses the gulf state of fabricating evidence u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt says he's had constructive talks with his counterparts and is working hard to resolve the case and move welcomed by hedges his wife after meeting with hunt in london. fear him shaping force after being handed a life sentence and then be made to leave was beyond heartbreaking we didn't even got to say goodbye. i really appreciate the foreign secretary taking the time to meet me at this crucial time in march and maps why he has assured me that he and
