happening in terms of what happens next of course we have very poor tense as the next day to look out for because that is the day that the e.u. council president donald tusk has set for an e.u. summit to resume a the british prime minister has been invited to that summit she's been told that she must come with some sort of plan for britain to move forward if there is no plan e.u. officials have made it very clear that on april the twelfth the britain will leave the european union without a deal that's something that the leaders and officials have always said they would like to avoid they would prefer the person left in an orderly fashion but as the days pass that is looking more and more difficult for u.s. president donald trump insists he's not playing games after renewing his threat to close the border with mexico he's voted to go ahead with it of mexico doesn't stop people from crossing into the u.s. illegally mike hanna reports from washington d.c.

. in recent weeks port officials have been repeatedly arguing that they simply do not have the facilities to cope with the influx of immigrants across the border they say there are not enough officers there and they simply do not have enough accommodation for the numbers that are coming across this obviously playing on president trump's mind eating to his angry outbursts in the course of the day. president trump arrives to view a rehabilitation project at a lake in florida but it's not the dwindling water level or this dam wall that's foremost on his mind rather his fury with what he describes as mexico's reluctance to prevent immigration across the southern border so mexico is tough they can stop them but they chose not to now they're going to stop them and if they don't stop them with closing the border they will close their work we'll keep a close for a long time i'm not playing games mexico has to stuff it this repeating what he

said in earlier tweets if mexico doesn't immediately stop all illegal immigration coming into the united states through our southern border emitting the h. in his anger i will be closing the border or large sections of the border next week . it's a threat the president made back in december but never carried it through however his latest comments follow warnings from the department of homeland security that its resources have become strained and border officials say more people are expected to be apprehended at the border this march than in any month in more than a decade the consequences of closure would be severe impacting on two way trade that is worth more than six hundred billion dollars a year and fueling president trumps fire his homeland secretary kirsten nielsen issued a press statement later on in the day saying that the situation at the border was

containment of migrants trying to make it across the country and into mexico and another policy specifically which is the so-called remain in mexico policy the program that requires central american asylum seekers to wait in mexico while their process while their asylum claims are processed in the united states this is a departure from decades of asylum policies that would otherwise allow central american asylum seekers to wait in the united states for their court cases to be called president trump is calling for what president trump is saying now lacks specificity that for the most part overwhelmingly what we hear from immigration experts is that without addressing the root causes of migration which are poverty political instability and extremely high levels of violence in countries like honduras el salvador guatemala these countries that are known as the northern triangle of central america there is no stemming the flow of these migrant caravans that we've been seeing take place of the course of the last year so it's interesting to know specifically what it is that president wants mexico to do to

stem the flow of migration minor appollo speaking to us from tijuana thanks very much for bringing us up. that hundreds of thousands of people have crowded inside all g.o.d.'s capital in the biggest and see government's protests so far demonstrators are demanding an overhaul of the entire political system or know from charles stratford's. the six week of peaceful protests in algeria of so far no change in government but many algerians feel they have never been closer to twenty years is enough so get out l.j. area has many candidates who are competent to take the job so why would the regime stifle them in their own country are you this there's a breath of fresh air algeria doesn't deserve this we deserve to live in peace not only let you know that i'm here to confirm the people's demands they have to listen to us. earlier this week the army back to the calls to president uphill is eased

with a flicker to stare down. the ruling party its coalition partner and algeria's biggest union have joined the calls for beautifully could to go the national lawyers union reemphasize its demand that the eighty two year old president must leave office. he has been allotted we reiterate our support for the peaceful popular movement which calls for a change in the system of governance the creation of a new republic that respects the southern tier of the people and the principle of the law of the union calls for a positive response to the demands of the people within whom sovereign power resides. local media reported millions of people came out to demonstrate in towns and cities across the country this is the town of g. jail in the east. and it was a similar scene in misc done in west.
