certainly for us this is not something we could sign up to. jonathan this is the deputy director of the think tank british influence he says there are a number of outcomes that could come into play if parliament doesn't endorse the deal. well the first thing will happen is probably the government will go to the e.u. to ask for maybe new terms the e.u. will maybe your first few sweeteners but nothing stance if they'll probably reintroduce its parliament threatening all kinds of disasters if parliament doesn't endorse a second time if parliament still doesn't endorse it we can look at this general election will more likely than a referendum she says that she's not going to resign we just don't know what's the atmosphere will be afterwards but a general election be very very difficult because she'd have to call it herself or the toffee varies from a conference of the government and tory m.p.'s would have to very against her in government and that doesn't look entirely likely at parliament induces a second vote a second referendum and then that's up to the government that to implement the sovereignty of parliament or we're looking at the moment every single option is on

its own implausible but obviously the hosty one option and so it's something that seems impossible now will it actually become a reality and so we're looking at what might be. well so it's coming on the news hour including. on the streets of madrid women vent their anger against judges will tell you why. in the grip of a health crisis we'll tell you where his money could have been better spent in support the company but a tourist final between booker juniors and with the plate has been postponed until further notice details coming up later in the school. now mexico will deport some of the five hundred asylum seekers who it says try to violently and illegally cross the u.s. border on sunday. and five thousand of them are camped in the mexican border city of tijuana hoping to gain asylum in america they protested after

president trump promised to hold them in mexico until individual cases are heard by u.s. courts u.s. border agents responded by temporarily closing a major border crossing into southern california and tear gassing those trying to cross over. well mexico says it's not agreed to show to thousands of central american asylum seekers waiting near the southern u.s. border that's despite u.s. president trump tweeting the following migrants of the southern border will not be allowed into the u.s. until their claims are individually approved in court we will only allow those who come into our country legally other than that our very strong policy is catch and detain no releasing into the u.s. or will stay in mexico if for any reason it becomes necessary we will close our southern border there's no way that the u.s. will the decades of abuse put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore let's get more of an jordan she joins us live from washington d.c. so what more can you tell us about this incident on the border. well there was

a peaceful demonstration carried out by many of the migrants some seventy two hundred who were said to be in according to the mexican government several hundred of those tried to apparently breach the wall between mexico and the united states at which point u.s. customs and border enforcement fired tear gas across the international border and those people trying to breach the wall now we don't know whether the u.s. government is going to file a complaint with washington over that but the mexican government as you said has said that it's going to round up and deport about five hundred people whom they say were involved in the effort to breach the wall for several hours the u.s. government had closed the border crossing at santa see the road which is the main border crossing between southern california and baja california and that meant that

people either walking on foot between the two countries or driving between the two countries were not allowed to cross but in the past thirty minutes they have opened both the pedestrian and vehicular crossing points at sana see the road and but we expect that it will take several more hours for the backlog of traffic to clear one thing that the mexican government says is that after the use of tear gas against the people who were massed outside the border wall that they don't have any reports of any people who were seriously injured or more specifically who had been shot but we're still waiting for more information on what injuries people may have sustained during this incident several hours ago arrivals in jordan there in washington d.c. thank you for that let's bring in leon fresco he's a former deputy assistant attorney general in charge of immigration at the u.s. department of justice he joins us now via skype from washington d.c. lynn francisco let's talk first about this latest incident on the mexico border

what did you make of it and what's causing people now to become just so desperate to cross the southern border. i think this was a terrible terrible completely self-inflicted and avoidable tragedy the strategy of the trumpet ministration has been to say nobody can cross along the thousand mile mexican us border because they will not be allowed to get asylum they have to go through the ports of entry and then they'd be prioritised report of a dreamy who only allows eighty people in per day when they know there's five thousand people waiting so they did give people a place that they could apply in an orderly fashion in mexico they didn't allow people to come in that kind of a i don't believe me a that manner along the border the fourth all of the traffic the same growth and now we're seeing the chaos start with the roots and the growth where illegitimate train travel of traffic is being affected by what is a sensical policy and mexico says it's going to deport about five hundred of the

asylum seekers have tried to cross the border illegally in violently they say is this all part of the so-called deal that's been done between trump and the mexicans at the mexicans are now saying it doesn't exist. well i think that mexicans are very sensitive to two things one they want to make sure that the trade deal goes through and this is a very sensitive time they are and two of the mexican balls about one caravan coming across and waiting in the i want out one of the largest cities in mexico for weeks and weeks and weeks so they realize that that's what's going to happen they're going to meet or take action themselves because they are city have been prefer sort of you know so there are two problems going on but at the end of the day i'm left the united states work with mexico to establish a legitimate processing center for refugees to make their quite even an orderly prize share or gives much more priority to people seeking asylum at the port of entry more people

a process that is you're going to keep seeing these events occur you are an immigration expert so what legal rights do these asylum seekers have that the buddha and does the u.s. administration even care about those rights. well delete the final speakers have the right to apply for asylum and the court just ruled last week that that right continues to this regard listen whether it's between the forgiven three or at the board event brief the president saying no it cannot exist if you coming between the port of entry you have to come at the port of that dream many people are taking him at his word and now they're cramming in the ports of entry but it seems like the president is trying to take out all of the way possible reply for a problem when before some of them will have legitimate asylum claims and unless he had knowledge of that. and that those should be processed in an orderly fashion in the normal refugee program but environment this is going to continue this republic was never this bad and because from basically trying to fix the garage door being

broken. in order to fix the problem lynn first just a final point from you i mean how much of this incident long had to provide ammunition to trump and his supporters that indeed many of the migrants are using violence across the border well i think that certainly what he's going to say is he's going to say you see i've done everything possible to protect the country from of violent mobs of the ball seeking to enter but the question is why wasn't violent mob never ate this thing during any other crime in the history of the country why is it only up to three realizing now and the point is that because he's created the environment to form caravans and form violent mobs because now people know they have no other way in the united states and that is the unintended consequence of a proper policy good to talk to you thank you very much indeed thank you.

now only this month world leaders flew to papa new guinea as capital for the annual apec summit it was the biggest event in the country's history but critics of the government say hosting apec was a costly indulgence considering the many challenges the country face one of them is the rampant spread of tuberculosis as under thomas explains it's an epidemic that's getting worse. tuberculosis in papua new guinea isn't just an issue it's an epidemic more than one in two hundred fifty people on the hop or killer disease the real proportion is believed to be much higher. carry dusty fell ill two years ago but living in a remote area accessible only by boat it was five months before she was diagnosed after she was she had trouble after taking the pills she was prescribed. i faithfully took my medications however my body wasn't reacting well to water i started to experience some kind of

a lunatic reaction and side effects. dusty is perseverance but in rural papua new guinea that's unusual to treat tuberculosis patients need to take an elaborate and unpleasant cocktail of drugs regularly for months the lack of clinics and transport to those clinics makes getting those medicines to people or people to the medicines hard when the beige appointment when they don't come on their review dates i dress them. i go out into the villages and i meet them and i ask them why you are not calm mean health workers reach only a fraction of those infected and when people let their treatments lapse the disease has a resurgence and becomes more tolerant to drugs once it's more into what's called multi-drug resistant tuberculosis the disease is much harder and more expensive to treat hoff of all patients die organizations like doctors without borders are trying to help but there's not enough central coordination the frustration that

many have here is that papua new guinea's government is known for years that it has a big problem and that it's getting worse and yet despite having the money the government hasn't been spending it in the right way and hasn't made toppling tuberculosis enough of a political priority earlier this month papua new guinea hosted the asia pacific economic cooperation summit for world leaders to discuss economic growth but critics questioned whether a country in the grip of a health crisis she's spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a conference the government except it must do better whilst things like funding for medicines has been then in quite a quite a large number it's the. it's the execution of the health services at the front in that is suffering and our government technicians are coming as treasurer has tried to emphasise that some of the funding streams in a budgetary process are essential for delivery of those services you can't
