welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is ben bland. our top stories: an american media report says the trump administration is planning new detention centres for tens of thousands of migrants. and mr trump threatens to impose import duties of 20% on european cars, the latest stage in the trans—atlantic trade war. the un's human rights council says venezuela's security forces have killed hundreds under the pretext of fighting crime. and italy says malta has refused to take in 200 migrants currently on board a mediterranean rescue ship. media reports in the united states say its navy is drawing up plans to build detention centres on remote military bases, to house 25,000

illegal immigrants. the us department defence reportedly plans to build what are described as "austere" detention centres at abandoned airfields in california, alabama and arizona. earlier, president trump has pressed the case for greater border security, meeting with people whose family members were killed by undocumented immigrants. meanwhile, along the southern border, hundreds of children remain separated from their parents. the bbc‘s aleem maqbool reports. in a detention camp close to the mexican border, the us is holding children. we saw them being trooped between tents in single file. in many cases, they were separated from their parents by immigration officials. often their mothers and fathers, who themselves are in detention, have no idea where their children are. we've been trying to get access to this camp by official channels but were denied. this was the only way

we could get any sense of what was happening inside. seven—year—old darwin from guatemala has finally been reunited with his mother, beata, after they were separated three weeks ago, even though beata said she followed all the rules in claiming asylum. "look at his face," she says, "he's so sad, but we'll be together now, and nothing will tear us apart." lawyers say many have still had no communication with their children and have been given no information about their welfare or even location. receipts are given for people's property, and yet these individuals were not receiving anything in terms of a human being, their child. it is akin to kidnapping someone, when you take someone away from someone and don't give them any information whatsoever. this man says he fled honduras after getting death threats there, but when he came to the us earlier this month, his daughter,

shown in these family photos, was taken from him. he is in prison, where we spoke to him by phone. he's desperate even just to speak to his daughter. translation: they didn't give me any explanation. the only thing they told me was, "you're going to be separated from your daughter." it really made me feel powerless, because imagine a little girl, eight years old, who is crying and clinging to your leg. never afraid of stirring things up, donald trump today decided not to focus on the families separated by his immigration rules, but relatives of those killed by illegal immigrants. they don't talk about the death and destruction caused by people that shouldn't be here, people that will continuously get into trouble and do bad things. for years, their pain was met with silence, their plight was met with indifference, but no more. this country's been dramatically

split over border security. the president's new order that's meant to end family separations, signed under huge pressure, doesn't change that. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in el paso. 0ur washington correspondent chris buckler nowjoins us now. what's more do we know about these reports in the us media about these plans to build detention centres in remote areas? earlier this week donald trump did say to the pentagon he wanted to build 20,000 extra beds to facilitate migrant children. it seems beyond that, arms of the military here are now considering what more they could potentially do. this memo comes from time magazine. it isa this memo comes from time magazine. it is a memo passed between senior officers in the us navy. from what

it says, it is looking at potentially building facilities for tens of thousands of migrants. it talks about being able to build a facility that would deal with 5000 migrants within 60 days, and then it says each month after that it could add up to 10,000 migrants at a time. these are largely, again, makeshift facilities based upon thames. if you look at the money involved here they estimate it would be about $233 million, according to time's reporting, to construct and operate a facility to 25,000 people over a six—month period. when you look at that it gives you an idea of the amount of money donald trump was like administration is going to have to put into dealing with this administer —— with this immigration crisis. beyond that, and i think this is a line the media in america will focus on, when it talks about building facilities it talks about building facilities it talks about building temporary and austere facilities. if you consider that these are mainly constructive of tents there will be a lot of focus

onjust how will tents there will be a lot of focus on just how will these migrants are being looked after and i suspect the border will remain a focus for reporting for some time to come. chris, thank you. away from immigration, and president trump has threatened to impose import duties of 20% on european cars. the president made the comment after the eu imposed tariffs on some american goods, a move that was itself a response to us tariffs on steel. shares in the carmakers bmw, porsche and volkswagen all fell on the news. nick bryant is in washington. it's notjust the transpacific trade war with china, the trans—border trade war with canada and mexico, india took retaliatory measures with the united states and japan and turkey is preparing to do the same. this is broadening and widening. many of donald trump's supporters, especially those in the industrial heartland states of the rust belt love the rhetoric of the trade war but will they like the reality because the european union has been

specific about which us goods it is targeting. it's gone to brands like harley—davidson, not because they are iconic or symbolic but because of where they are made, in those rust belt states of the old industrial heartland. they are trying to damage donald trump politically. many worry it could damage america economically. it's a view shared by the chamber of commerce in america but the markets are jittery. although the fundamentals of america are strong, unemployment at an 18—year low and donald trump believes he is entering this battle from the point of economic strength. the video streaming service, netflix, has sacked its director of communications, over his repeated use of a racist word in company meetings. jonathan friedland had used the n—word at work on two occasions. netflix has stressed that this was not in line with the company's values.
