this on we can speak to liam fresco who was a deputy assistant attorney general in charge of immigration at the u.s. department justice and that was during the obama administration it joins us by skype from washington d.c. mr prescott welcome to our desire there is a distinct problem here isn't there it's all very well pending the trump policy but if the result is an unmanageable flood of migrants it's not helpful is it. well this is the challenge that the vitamin minister asian has to overcome is how do you process i mean creasing number of individuals on the southern border in a manner that is both humanitarian and orderly but also in a manner that ultimately he is just that over the course of time to have consular processing centers outside of the united states so that you tell people if you want to enter the united states these are the legal processes you can use outside of the

united states the clain refugee status and they will be orderly and acceptable so that you don't have to present yourself at the border the challenge right now is that those processes are nowhere near coming to fruition and so there's a few months ahead where the biden administration doesn't want to be completely turning people away but if it lets people in they then form this magnet of attraction where people hear that people are being let in and they want to vent come to the southern border if the numbers keep on rising in the way that they are this is going to become unmanageable is not. well that is the problem is that as the biden ministration continues to try to ramp up its processing facilities by having more inspectors more agents more facilities the whole be delayed faster background check process you don't know if that extra capacity is ever going to be enough for increased demand but that extra capacity might cause because it's one

thing if you say we might have enough to manage a crisis of central american migration but if you start seeing people from all over the world on the southern border which has happened in the past then that becomes a scenario of a totally different magnitude so the thing is is that the administration is the administration is still tennessee putting forward this kind of promising encouraging message if you like to migrants while at the same time to tearing people by as you say. instituting kind of the concepts of proper legal processes that migrants have to go through which all in place. right that's the problem is months away a process like this will be much more rational and will be much easier to navigate but the question is what do you do during the 6 months and this is a question that i think has challenges the biden administration because one argument would be well could you should have continued what the trump

administration had done and keep banning people from entering the united states using the coal they had justification that would have been one strategy and another strategy would have been just lift those bands and just start processing people the administration has chosen sort of a hybrid approach where it has said for unaccompanied minors and 1st some families it will start letting people in and so this is sort of a a damed if you do damned if you don't middle ground where some people are saying the response is not strong enough in an boards but some are saying it's not strong enough and compassion and just the rumor that people are being led in continues to encourage people to come so it is a process that for the next 6 months people just have to be honest it's going to be job eat because of this problem. that thanks very much and if your perspective in front of the bank. now phones have been demanding justice for one of the world's

greatest footballers jake emerged on a 6 year old died of a heart attack november week self to having brain surgery supporters of the argentinian i don't believe his death was caused by medical negligence or into his public prosecutor has ordered an investigation into whether there is a case of wrongful death by was among protesters and one is or isn't she explains that many of them are demanding justice. is a man that inspired a lot of passion here in argentina people are thankful for him winning the 986 world cup but his death has not been able to stop that we're right in the center of what a sight as though there were hundreds of fans who came here to demand justice they're convinced that divorce might i don't ask him to rush the people that surrounded him before he says are responsible for his death people look this road you can see lots of movements around here there's not so for these there's been some small clashes between the police and fans just about an hour ago you know but i want us former
