like this that will move through the city. rather than come to coventry to see it, the message from organisers for now is to stay at home and watch from there. the halo that i have on right now was inspired by the bicycle wheel, it was a manufacturing boom of bicycles here. artist and model daniel lismore uses his body as a living work of art. his career has taken him around the world, but his roots are firmly planted in coventry. to my right is where i used to get bullied at a bus stop. i rememberjust thinking, like, you know, what is there for me? and then coming back later on, and the city is booming, you know, there are so many amazing things. the legend of lady godiva, who rode naked on a horse to protest against taxes, plays a central role in the opening.

this modern—day godiva is an nhs nurse, campaigning for better pay and ppe during the pandemic. for me, it's about empowerment and ensuring that everyday people like the community are empowered to be able to be involved. and helping people, you know? it has been a challenging feat, planning a cultural programme in a pandemic. concerns about crowds have kept announcements low—key in secret. so a city of surprises awaits. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello there. much of the country saw a fine day today with some good spells of sunshine, including the south—east of england, which had that wash—out on friday. but we've had a weather front pushing into western areas, bringing more cloud, outbreaks of rain, and it's going to continue to trundle its way eastwards overnight into parts

of scotland and into england and wales. but ahead of it, i should think we should hold on, with some clearer skies for the far south—east of england and skies will be clearing as well for western scotland and northern ireland. they're the overnight means, so quite a mild night to come. part two of the week, and then we have the weather front across more of england and wales, so here is going to be cloudier, some showery bursts of rain and a few heavy downpours into the afternoon. whereas for scotland, northern ireland and western england and wales, probably see the best of the sunshine with temperatures a notch down across the board, 19-20 or 21. as we move through the new week, it looks like weather fronts could bring a little bit of rain to the north—west of the country. it will be breezy here. higher pressure further south and east, so here we will see the best of the warmth and the sunshine. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... the chancellor, rishi sunak, says g7 finance ministers from the world's leading economies have reached an historic deal to reform the global tax system

during talks in london. the head of nhs providers — which represents health trusts in england — says coronavirus vaccines appears to have broken the link between cases and serious illness. meanwhile, covid restrictions have eased across much of scotland, with people in glasgow allowed to socialise indoors and drink alcohol in pubs and restaurants for the first time in nine months. and the first big events of coventry�*s year as the uk's city of culture take place, after a six month delay. now on bbc news, the bbc uncovers allegations of filth, lice, sickness and neglect, in a vast system of mostly closed—off camps scattered across the us holding more than 20,000 migrant children. a warning, this programme contains discussion of subjects some viewers may find distressing.

over 19,000 migrant children locked up in america. children speaking for the first time tell of disease, neglect, hunger and filth. now children are being shipped en masse to 13 new sites around america. it feels a lot more like a detention facility, a prison for kids. sites that are shrouded in secrecy. they go to bed hungry, the boys have been in there for 45 days straight without any sunlight. this level of deprivation which really amounts to child abuse is very widespread

in the largest facilities. what is the impact on thousands of children? will their experiences come to haunt them? the rio grande, and a night of fear. at midnight, migrants will cross the river from mexico to america. many are children, travelling alone.

us guards are waiting. rafts bring families with children, too. some have walked for weeks to get here. over 36,000 unaccompanied children have crossed into america this spring. many of the adults will be deported. but under president biden, most of the children will remain.

the children who came alone are told to line up separately from the others. many came hoping tojoin a family member already there. these girls are cousins. border guards demand the children's belts and laces. a measure usually reserved for prisoners to prevent them from committing suicide. jordi has fled violent gangs in guatemala.

tonight he has a new dread. america's camps for migrant children. what do you expect is going to happen next? this is donna, texas. these tents held over 3000 children earlier this spring. these, the notorious cubicles the migrants call ice boxes. these children's stories have not yet been heard. journalists have been banned from talking to them. but we have been tracking down children who have been released.

this is sonja. she is waiting for her daughter, a ten—year—old. daughter, a ten—year—old, ariani. she fled violence in honduras six years ago, leaving her daughter behind. she thought she was too young for the dangerous journey. we are seeing more folks landing, i think we will see them soon. she's here. they are not sure because they can't recognise her but it is her. her daughter travelled hundreds of miles only to be locked up in donna. she didn't want to let go of her mother. how did you feel when you saw your daughter again?

ariani slept in one of the plastic cubicles. cindy, 16 years old, who fled honduras for her safety, was also in donna.

here are some photos. it was more crowded than this? much more crowded? wow. pipes were dripping, cindy said, and inside her blanket she was wet. when night fell on the borderlands, the sound of crying filled the tents.

paola, 16 years old, cried on her mattress many nights, and on top of everything, there was the filth. closely guarded and largely away from the world's eyes, illness in the tents became rampant. paola became sick. so did ariani. cindy got covid.

now a mass movement of children is under way. we obtained flight logs. here, children are about to be flown to a set of new and secretive detention centres across the country. they have the capacity for over 19,000 children. one day cindy was told to get on a bus. she was taken to the airport in the dark with a large group of sick girls. they were not told where they were going.

cindy was flown 1500 miles away to a new detention site in san diego, california. we set out to find the new facilities. there are about a dozen of them. several here in texas. setting them up has reduced overcrowding in centres like donna.

we entered san antonio — just east of town was a sports stadium. it had beds for over 2000 migrant teenagers. in february, a month before this facility opened, it was used for a rodeo. we were given this image showing where the children have been kept. we have been told it was the same building that is normally used for animals in the annual rodeo. this detention site, which is now set to close, has been under investigation following allegations of sexual abuse, inadequate food and neglect of the children. an hour away in the heart of downtown dallas, the business district, we had heard hundreds of teenage boys were being held here in the convention centre.

i had been told there were no windows in the part of the building they were kept in. but where were they? we asked for access, but no. you have to go somewhere else. this is where the children are being held? yes. you guys cannot be over here. staff said they had to sign agreements that they won't talk about what goes on inside. private contractors run the place on behalf of the government. this woman, an employee, spoke to us on the condition of anonymity. there are rows and rows of cots, and guards everywhere. it feels a lot more like a detention facility. a prison for kids. this is a rare glimpse inside the dallas detention site. it was secretly filmed and given to us. children spend on average

a month in these sites. releases are processed slowly, even though most children have sponsors in america ready to take them. this man, who has also been working in the centre, was deeply upset by conditions. it's freezing cold. each boy has one thin blanket. the children have always complained about not having enough, not eating enough. the boys have been in there for 45 days straight without any sunlight. absolutely no recreational time outside, no fresh air. how did the boys cope with that? how can they cope? they are all depressed. i heard the other day some were contemplating suicide because of the conditions here. detention sites are regularly opened and closed. children are moved.

many are now flooding into this place — fort bliss, a tented camp that can hold 10,000 children in el paso, texas. in april, crowds protested. here in the heat of the desert, some of the tents hold hundreds of children. insiders have told the bbc large numbers of children here now have covid. they say there are tents for those with lice and scabies. we are hearing some terrible stories including instances of sexual abuse of children by workers there, including children who are having to be on suicide watch for long periods of time because of the conditions there. i have deep, deep concerns about the physiological and psychological deterioration

of children in a camp like that. democratic congresswoman silvia garcia has visited several of the sites and was keen to stress progress made. and you're not aware of problems in these facilities when the facility near houston closed i think because there have been problems and allegations... let me just be clear. you asked me about issues in dallas. i am not aware of issues in dallas. obviously, if you're looking at all facilities, are there issues? yes, there are. but i am telling you that i think that based on everything i have seen in the ones i have visited, the administration is doing a much betterjob today than they were when it first started because they were not prepared for the sheer numbers, they did not have the facilities in place, they do now.

the government told the bbc that children in dallas and the other new centres have access to nutritious food and recreation. and they are being kept in a healthy environment. they say they are trying to speed up releases. this is wilton, ten years old. he had been wandering for hours in the desert in march when a border guard found him. president biden is not the first to deal with a surge of migrant children over the border. in 2018, under president trump, nearly 3000 children were separated from their parents

and crammed with others into detention centres. these are believed to be some of their voices. parents were taken off to be charged with illegal entry. the policy left a searing mark on america's conscience. republicans are now accusing president biden of separating families. pointing out that trump later made children stay in mexico with their families to await asylum hearings. they are absolutely incentivising the separation of

families and they are putting them in detention centres notjust on the borders but in detention centres across the country, and the centres by the way were never equipped to house children. but this is fundamentally different than president trump's trial separation policy, right? trump's child separation policy, right? which deliberately separated children from parents and was widely seen as creul. i think the administration will take unaccompanied minors, they are specifically separating children from families. the trump administration was the expert on family separation. it was cruel, it was inhumane and it goes against our values as americans, but certainly it is the opposite with the biden administration because for this administration, the goal is to reunify them with families as quickly as possible, and again, the numbers are huge. 80% of the children that

are coming unaccompanied have a relative in this country. in biden�*s america, migrant children are not being physically taken from their parents by us border officials. but they are being separated from other relatives. many of whom are sent back to mexico whilst the children stay. those children are uniformly removed from the arms of their grandmothers and the laps of their aunts and uncles and older siblings and the trauma they experience is identical to the trauma experienced by a child who is taken away from a biological parent. when ariani got to america, she was separated from her adult sister, who had become like a mother to her.

the trauma of their experiences followed the girls home. cindy was not the same. ariani drew pictures in detention of love hearts and flowers to fight off her sadness.

ariani, once a bubbly and sociable girl, is now largely silent. the children we worry about most are the children who go quiet. they become despairing internally. for those children, the trauma goes underground. it sits like landmines under the surface. they are more likely to have substance abuse problems,

more likely to suicide, more likely to have physiological problems. and those can be long—term consequences of this kind of trauma, consequences that these children live with for the rest of their lives. children are still crossing the border in large numbers. as night falls on the river, another group prepares for the journey into a country that promises dreams, but which for thousands of children leave scars. ariani's nights now are filled with terror.

hello there. for many of us, part one of the weekend has been fine and dry with plenty of sunshine around and a big improvement across the south—east of england after friday's wash—out. we saw plenty of sunshine, a little bit of fairweather cloud across much of the country, but it wasn't sunny everywhere. through the day, certainly later on, cloudier skies thanks to a weather front pushing into western scotland and northern ireland and the far south—west of england, courtesy of this new weather front arriving in gradually as the day wore on. now, this is going to bring outbreaks of patchy rain as we move through this evening and overnight, into western areas initially and then start to spread its way eastwards into central, northern, southern england and wales.

meanwhile, it will start to dry up a little bit with clearer skies in western scotland and northern ireland by the end of the night. and the far south—east as well will also see clear skies with temperatures ranging from 10—13 degrees. actually quite a mild night. we've got this ridge of high pressure building in for sunday across western areas. this weather front, though, will be straddling central and eastern parts of the country, so it's a bit of a reversal of fortu nes. we will start to see sunny skies for sunday across scotland and northern ireland and increasingly in western england and west wales. for the rest of england and east wales it's going to be rather cloudy thanks to this weather front with some showery bursts of rain, and a few heavy downpours likely to be mixed into that as well. now, with more cloud around, it's going to be a bit cooler across england and wales, 19—21, and high teen celsius across the north west where we will have the best of the sunshine. as we move out of sunday and into monday, that weather front weakens as it pushes towards the east, it will leave a legacy of cloud but we have high pressure dominating the scene, very light winds. so i think it's going to be a day of variable cloud and sunny spells,

but with that weak weather front across eastern areas, likely to destabilise the atmosphere a little bit so we could see a few heavy showers developing across the eastern side of the country into the afternoon as temperatures rise. then again, those temperatures rising, reaching highs of 19—20, 21 or 22 degrees in the warm spots. as we move through this week, high pressure holds on across the south of the country. these areas of low pressure skirt pass the north west and they will bring stronger winds, more cloud and some showery rain at times, particularly to parts of scotland and northern ireland. so, cloudier and breezier across northern and western areas. closer to the high pressure in the south, that's where you will see the best of the sunshine and the warmth.
