at this moment more than 2,000 children effected by president trump's immigration policy are being detained in facilities across the country. this is the scene outside a detention center in mcallen, texas. through the darkened windows our reporters could see children inside. president trump was at a republican party gathering attacking democrats on what he claims is their desire for open borders. if we did that we would have

millions and millions pouring through our country with all of the problems it would cause. you could have millions. all it would have is yes, we want everybody to come. do what you want to do. if they see any weakness they will come by the millions. >> now, some members of congress who visit that hed that texas processing center were described as cruel and inhumane. th >> they brought here to these areas. some of these groups tried to get their message to some of the people inside.

we haven't seen any transport buses make their way in or out of here. the president called for these families to remain together even in detention. what about the mothers and fathers separated in the weeks afterzero al -- tolerance was put in place. it is heartbreaking seeing women

and children in these inclosures. many people -- many critics described them as cages. they also spoke to some inside trying to get a handle on all of this. they feel that the people handling these crowds are doing the best they can. there was a lot of confusion and chaos happening behind the scenes. >> we do have some new numbers and new information. it says more than 2,500 were separated since inwent into effect two months ago. 253 children are still being

held awaiting their return to their parents. the government says it knows the location of all children in custody and is working to reunite them with their families. here is the thing. those yew reunions will not happen quickly. it will only happen once legal proceedings are completed. >> six-year-old allison being pulled from her mother. now her mother still in detention, still separated from

her daughter, makes a plea. [ speaking foreign language ] >> that heartbreaking recording is the closest she has been with her daughter, asking us to play it in full. to talk to her daughter she has been dialing a number but has not gotten through. it went to voice mail. madrid says when president trump signed the executive order all of the women cried thinking they would be reunited but nothing

changed. >> take a look around. the detention facility is in the middle of nowhere. this is the facility the government plannings to reunite families. she says the six-year-old has talked to her aunt and asked for two things, showers at home and eating cereal, cnn. for families try to go locate or kplun kate with a dmield custody, people like that mother, the u.s. immigration and customs enforcement agency tells them to call the detention reporting and information line.

policy. blaming congressional inaction for problems with the imgags system and previous administrations for allowing the problem to get to bad. that. >> they want to conothing. yor paralegal people, the politics. when dealing with a group of people that don't want to -- if i said -- if we gave them everything they wanted they could say don't approve it. they think being weak on the border which is allowing tremendous crime to come into our country, they think it's a good issue for them. i don't think being weak on the border, i don't think it's a good issue. >> president trump talking about his meeting with kim jong un

each child is located. it is more than 2,000 children separated from their families. it can't help but feel the government is scrambling to implement from last wednesday where he pulled back on the separation of his family created by some zero toll rarchs policy. it seems like not the first time try to go catch up with presidential policies, the muslim ban. >> it is worse than what you just said in april when the trump administration decided they did so with no without keeping adequate records. that means children taken hundreds of thousands of miles away didn't maintain the files

to connect them back to their parents. here we are two months later. they have children in detention centers. it doesn't say we know who their parents are. they didn't keep records to notify the parents where their children are currently held. the children have no idea. we have only 20% of children reunited with their parents. they said we will have it all solved in 24 hours. remember, it's not just a question of these two struggling to reunite them. even as we discussed this the governor a governor announced plans up to 20,000 people. we don't know if it will stop but we know the trump administration is not backing a

you way from the policy. >> 1 now, take a listen will take a listen. >> we have to be very strong. i like the issue for election too. our issue is strong borders no cross-claim. their issue is open borders so president trump thinks the zero tolerance crack down will continue. do you agree? >> absolutely.

it says we are going to pro claim how good it is to have tariffs on everybody. americans will rally and say this is wonderful they think enough americans will sporlt them. what we have is battle lines being drawn. on the one hand the reality of what their policies bring and the fact they are bypassing the court system and what will be spread. the false statement that trump gave me on monday.

welcome back. this is cnn newsroom. protests this weekend at immigration facilities as the government says more than 2,000 children are being held separated from their parents. it says it is working on reuniting the families. it may not happen until the parents legal cases are

completed. let's go to the middle east. saudi women can do something they would never do do before without prosecution and jail. that's right. they can drive legally. sunday the kingdom lifted the long-standing ban on women drivers. it is part of reforms pushed by saudi arabia's crown prince. even though they can get behind the wheel several remain detained as part of a crack down on womens rights groups.

tell me what it is like to be behind the wheel witnessing it. >> reporter: this would have been illegal 24 hours ago. this is one of the first women to get ton road how does it feel? >> exciting, overjoyed. i didn't even have breakfast. i just went out the house. i was in the car and my friend is like you won't believe this.

i was yelling in the car. >> reporter: how is this going to clang yohange your life. i'm thinking of like on all levels with the family, myself, having accessibility and ochgs is really what it is about. >> reporter: you told me you have children. ki see a car seat already in the back. >> i think that's one of the nice things about driving is you can go with your kids and go on road trips. it's also a bonding thing for the family. also i think driving is good for practical things but not just for practical things. it's not some times to have the freedom to take a drive. so i think it's both of those things. >> what's next for women in saudi arabia? >> oh, my god, like everything

that's happening, it's now -- i think everything is now now now. >> and the incredible thing is i was driving around this morning and looking on the road. we didn't see many women drivers. we bumped into him here. this is what women have been telling us. this is a main thing for women in solid rights. >> it is frankly awesome in saudi arabia. does she know about the activists who are now behind

bars? >> i am going to pass the question on from my colleague in cnn atlanta. do you know about the women act ifrists who pushed for this day. how does it feel? >> i don't know much about that. >> what was going on is for years they dedicated their lives to bring about change, to see this day happen.

some observers feel this prap is a message that change in this country only comes from the top down and that only the leadership in this country will get credit on this day for the changes we are seeing. but again, thanks for coming to us live from behind from a passenger seat of a car there and go for a spin. >> we will. >> all right. now, coming up germany, they try

to recover after a stunning loss to mexico. saturday's world cup action and a look at sunday all ahead. plus, what's in the name? a lot when you're a prime minister's baby. the details next. sleep disturbances keep 1 in 3 adults up at night.

welcome back. he is hoping to hold onto power but he faces several opponents. if no one gets 50% of the vote a runoff will be called. let's get more on this from turkey where we are outside a polling station. i believe you're in a neighborhood i lived in for many years. of course, you know, this is

about erdogan but it also includes a female candidate and a curdish candidate running from behind bars in prison. can you tell me more about the political landscapes in this election? >> it is an extraordinary moment in turkish history because of the assumption that erdogan drove through the political prosaesz year ago. it would concentrate executive power which had been a largely ceremonial role and constitutional decision to do away with the prime minister means that he was entirely dominant in turkey's politics particularly after that a couple of years ago.

the polls who represent a broad coalition of opposition parties ranging if tough hard line rights through those who inherit the traditions.

interestingly too the curdish -- kurdish party, they were swinging behind mr. erdogan. if they get more than 10% of the vote the opposition looks very much stronger many marlimen-- i parliment. you have enormous turn outs particularly for the opposition. they have been excluded for participating in any meaningful way on the state dominated media channels. >> all right. i know you'll be following this very closely as the day progresses. to all of my friends i'm hoping far very fair and peaceful election day.

all right. germany's world up dreams came down after a stunning loss to mexico. they faced sweden in a must-win match. they took a lead but the germans fought back with two unanswered goals. this kick got the win. germany lived to fight another day. far wrap-up of saturday's games and a look at sunday's cnn action alex thomas joins me live. good to see you.

oi for a very nervous half an hour there was the chance and the prospect of germany crashing out of this world cup. a winning goal from the madrid star from the edge of the penalty area. to get germany out of trouble it meant so much more. it was the latest ever goal.

>> it's crazy. the 95th minute nobody counted on that. it was a great atmosphere. it's a great city. we are from germany and so happy to be here. thank you slaush. thank you. >> the interesting thing is that the germany defender was sent off eight minutes from the end of that game and sweden had only 17% of the possession while they had an extra man on the field. germany deserved the win and only brazil tried more shots throughout this whole world cup. it's not creating chances. they weren't putting the ball in the back of the net. it almost cost them the world cup chance. >> thank you. i hear england is playing? >> yes.

england is playing. harry got boat goals in the opening win. it will be extremely hot. they both won opening games. they can't both go through. one will take points off of the

others. >> coming up she reveals her newborn daughter's name and the meaning behind it and i will try to pronounce it correctly. stay with cnn. ahh... summer is coming.

time. once we are done with those we'll make sure we pass on that love to another baby. >> the prime minister will take six weeksover parental leave. she is the first world leader to do so. congratulations to her and her growing family. >> perhaps this is the part of the broadcast where we play the theme music from star wars or maybe darth vader music. if worldwide web was quick to aim. >> it made for almost too eesz si a target. >> we are going have the space force. >> instantly the internet began taking shots for a sixth branch of the armed forces. the president will easily qualify as the first space cassette sweeted one critic.
