they are properly taking care of, eventually, the word will get out. we have got to have a safe country, we are going to have a safe country and your loved ones are going to be playing and will continue to play a big part in it. you know that, you know that right? here are just a few statistics on the human toll of illegal immigration. according to a 2011 government report, the arrests attached to the criminal alien population include an estimated 25,000 people for homicide. 42,000 for robbery. nearly 70,000 for sex offences and nearly 15,000 for kidnapping. in texas alone, within the last seven years, more than a quarter of a million criminal aliens have been arrested and charged with over 600,000 criminal offences. you do not hear about. i always hear, the population is safer than the people who live in the country. you

have heard that, fellas, right? you hear so much and you say, is that possible? the answer is, it is not true! they are better people than the citizens we have. that is not true! in 2016, more than 15,000 americans died from her a heroin overdose, more than 90% of the heroine comes from across the southern border. 90%. as a result of city policies and fiscal, 2017, more than 8000 criminal aliens, he's a really ha rd than 8000 criminal aliens, he's a really hard criminal aliens, where in police custody and were released because of our weak laws, weakest in the world, we kissed in the history of the world. they were released back into our civilian population and these gentlemen had to do some of the releasing and i do not think you are too happy when you knew.

they note better than anyone, you knew what you were releasing, you knew what you were releasing, you knew it was trouble and it often comes back to be trouble. where is the media outrage over the catch and release policies that allow deadly drugs to pour into our country? where is the condemnation of the democrats and cities that release violent criminals into our communities and protect them? like the mayor of san diego when she warned everybody that i've is coming and they scattered. a big operation, and they scattered. a big operation, an expensive operation, they were all together, they'll scattered. and what are they going to do about looking at her, by the way? i have been asking this question now for four weeks, she can do that? and where is the outcry over the savage gang ms 13 and its bloodthirsty creed, kill rape and control?

law enforcement. you know it, you love it, you want to do yourjobs and thankfully the president will allow you to do that. thank you so much. applause. thank you, laura. nextl would like to ask temp one from greenville to speak. i want to thank the remembrance project... what you're watching as a press conference being held by president trump to talk about the different sort of separation, having been forced to make a u—turn on migrant families being separated at the mexican border, president trump has brought together a group of so—called angel families, these are people who have lost relatives at the hands of

undocumented migrants and you heard some very graphic and sad details of a woman there who had lost a son. those of you who have just tuned in hoping to watch newswatch, that has been moved to 8:45 p:m.. keep watching, it will be on them. let us move on. "we were just doing ourjob". the words of the two police officers who were first on the scene of the salisbury nerve agent attack. they were called to help sergei and yulia skripal, who they found on a park bench. the officers —— along with detective sergeant nick bailey —— today met prince charles and the duchess of cornwall, who were in the city to thank the emergency services and others caught up in the aftermath. peter cooke reports. and message to the world that salisbury is safe and open for business. today the duke and duchess of cornwall walked through the area where sergei skripal and his

daughter yulia were found in march. after greeting hundreds of well—wishers, they spent time with those closest to the nerve agent attack and for the first time we heard from the officers who were first on the same. by returning call toa first on the same. by returning call to a couple slumped on a bench, that is not out of the ordinary and then from arriving until now, it got bigger and bigger. it definitely was not what we expected. we did what any of our colleagues would have done. we try and make sure that everyone is safe and try and save lives if we can. officials were at pains to say that the city is on the road to recovery, but six sides remain behind gordon is understood to be decontaminated. the visit today will provide a boost to the local economy. it has been really quiet since this happened. hopefully it will give it a boost for the summer. it will give it a boost for the summer. hundreds of specialists are still investigating this attack and today the city was able to show, it

is slowly getting back to normal. a former soldier who was the only living holder of the victoria cross from the korean war died yesterday at the age of 90. bill speakman from altringham in cheshire wasjust 24 in 1951, when he fought off 600 chinese and north korean soldiers for more than four hours. naomi cornwell has been looking back at his life. arriving 24 hours later in career, temp one lands. bill speakman return from korea is a humble hero. we'll fight together but somehow or other, you do something extra, someone sees you do something extra, someone sees you do something extra, someone sees you do it. november four, 1951, his unit cornered, he repulsed chinese and north korean attackers, in hand combat, holding off attacks until

reinforcements arrived. we were greatly outnumbered and it was kill or be killed or taken prisoner, but we had to hold it. and so wejust bought. we just did ourjob. he proved himself a born leader. meanwhile, in altrincham, the neighbours help to get his home ready. it is a big day to welcome the local boy. i want to express my feelings for this today. there's one thing i can say, thank you. thanks a lot. his bravery earned him the victoria cross. it was the queen powers—macro first investiture as the new monarch. seldom has such a high honour been so modestly assumed by bill speakman. three years ago he returned to south korea to donate his medals to the south korean people. they can have my medal for future generations to look at and

see what it did is all about. we are not looking for glory, i think it is the sensible thing to do. it is my way of showing you that i love you andi way of showing you that i love you and i love being here and it isjust my way of saying, remember me being here. he said he wanted his ashes scattered in south korea, the land and people he defended. naomi cornwell reporting there. time for a look at the weather with tomasz shafernaker. we have been predicting that the weather is going to be sunny and nothing has changed and it is looking beautiful. however, bear in mind that the uv levels will be very high and the risk of burning quickly, for those sun worshippers in the park and on the coasts and

also the pollen levels will be very high in parts of the uk. the satellite image from today's shows how sunny it was across the country and these are the temperatures around nine o'clock in the evening. still in the mid teens in the north, holding around 20 in the south and tonight with the clear skies, the temperatures will take a dip. not as cold as last night, but still relatively fresh, first thing on saturday morning for the early birds, we are talking about single figure temperatures for the central and northern cities and high pressure is in charge of the weather as you might guess. on saturday, in the far north, we have a week weather front that will be brushing scotla nd weather front that will be brushing scotland and that means thicker cloud and some spots of rain but only for a time for the north west of scotland, possibly the northern isles, south of that, the weather is looking sunny and for some of us, clear blue skies, temperatures in the mid—20s in london, the high teens in the north. these are the pollen levels, you can see how high
