they're in squalid conditions piles of trash open sewers and the risk of disease or a daily reality the migrants are trying to get into the u.s. but with tight security on both sides their hopes for a better life are on hold and their numbers are growing this week a second caravan arrived in the border town of tio ana some americans though have little or no sympathy for their plates. correspondent stephanie met with a group of gun toting vigilantes who are all in terror patrolling the border near the border town of kempo in california. we're following a member of a private and controversial border watch project called minutemen robert crooks sixty seven year old retiree from las vegas patrolled the u.s. mexican border in the campo area about ninety six kilometers southeast of sending crooks has been doing this for months now every day he lives and sleeps in his

pickup truck and he patrols watches and tracks what he calls invaders and enemies of the united states of america that are coming this way and if they do all of your weight for watching. him. robert joined the minutemen project group that many described as a dangerous militia in two thousand and five he says even back then he felt he needed to help secure the border and fight off what he calls an invasion of illegal immigrants. as my country is your country our country you know nobody takes a stand. you sees him self as a patriot he claimed this hilltop overseeing the border for himself by installing a flagpole this is his base he named it point patriot. where in his view he served his country at a critical time where he makes a stand in what he calls the epic battle against illegal immigrants this is a defining moment in history right now if we don't. do something here today this

you know right now. this could be. very dangerous to our nation if we start a lot of hordes of thousands of thousand just across the border crusher cities you know that's recipe for disaster it has to stop here. for all of the criminals in tijuana as he calls the caravan migrants from central america sheltered on the other side of the border robert has this message. we're going to stop it discuss that they have to go back home truck loan bus walk whatever they have to go home and they have to work on their own problems if they got to get elections you know revolution if that's or takes whatever because the american people are fed up americans for the federal agents of the u.s. border patrol do not necessarily agree with any of crooks sentiments however out here in the field they do appreciate him patrolling the area watching and alerting

them to suspicious movements from the other side that's enough of a reward for this minute long as this is going. to be a correspondent reporting there on the vigilante minutemen project that monitors the us mexico border and seven joins us now from for more stuff what do americans make of this so-called minuteman project. well most americans would disagree with the minutemen then with pretty much anything and everything the protagonist of this piece in our story just said and what you just heard the majority of americans have quite a different opinion about illegal immigration or immigration those minutemen and this project minuteman is highly controversial and most of the people who are in this group are in this project are not just against illegal immigration they're

pretty much against any immigration for them it's a little bit about the survival of the the white race against anything which comes into america is trying to get their jobs or endangering somehow in some want their livelihood again most of america i would say. be on the safe side with this estimate is not buying into this in this sentiment of the minutemen project not at all ok stefan coming back to your side of the border the mexican side where you are now president elect manuel lopez obrador will be sworn in on saturday he is expected to is he expected to deal with the migrant caravans and the border crisis any differently. well let me say this the mayor of to. me and see here they are for sure having all hopes on this mr albert gore will take measures and better measures than his hands dealing

with the crisis. and it is a crisis dealing with a humanitarian crisis that's what the mayor tells us. very very vehemently says like we need the help of the federal government we need the help of mexico city we can't go into red numbers i can't suspend any other city service here for taking care of more and more migrants which are coming in this sports center the. sports center there are now almost seven thousand migrants seeking shelter and having shelter alone in all of the numbers about eight eight eight and a half thousand so this is going to be increasingly difficult without federal hall on the border you describe a humanitarian crisis. well it's cry precarious there in this in those shelters situations deteriorated from last week

when we were here significantly last week we were here we're two and a half thousand people in this sports center in this major shelter and it was laid out to accommodate exactly that number now that number almost tripled so you can imagine everything there is just basically breaking down the senator situation is precarious. they say not even enough food now or diapers and other products people there need and that's explains the really this this cry for help from. enough to want to officials and the people here they are quite fed up that they are kind of left alone with dealing with the migrants there and they are in a bind for this it's going to rain for the next two days misery here will be all over the place stephanie thank you very much for the d.w. stuff on siemens there in tijuana mexico. let's catch up on some of the other

stories making headlines around the world today the united states senate has voted to advance a bill that would end to u.s. involvement in the saudi led war in yemen the vote is being seen as a rejection of president support for the saudis after the killing of journalist jamal let's talk journalists or rather senators rather will debate the bill again before casting a final. philippine court has found three police officers guilty of murder for the killing of a teenage boy there the first convictions of police officers carrying out president robbery go to tara his so-called war on drugs the death of seventeen year old lloyd . has stirred precedented public anger. then sell them a sort of this really has one george's presidential election becoming the former soviet republics first female president final result so sore as sore busbee he won fifty nine point five percent of the vote the former foreign minister is backed by

the ruling party and favors balancing georgia's relations with russia and the west . russia's president vladimir putin has accused ukraine of orchestrating sunday's naval standoff russia sees three ukrainian vessels and has detained their crews pending trial in turn kiev has condemned the black sea skirmish off the coast of crimea as a russian act of aggression ukraine's president has declared martial law in the border regions he says moscow is preparing for war. putting on a show of readiness ukrainian troops deep trenches near the russian border they have been put on alert as martial law comes into effect ukraine's president petro poroshenko visited a military training center urging his troops to get prepared for action even if the mind. will give them no chance to invade into ukraine.

that's why today we are doing everything possible to provide extra financing of the armed forces. not to be outdone russia's defense ministry also released a video of training exercises in the south of the country. both sides are blaming each other for provoking sunday's naval clash in the catch strait russian ships fired on and seized three ukrainian naval vessels capturing the crew. of ukrainian sailors have been charged with unlawfully entering russia and of being held pending trial western countries are calling for their release the united states' special envoy for ukraine told d.w. that further sanctions against russia are on the table and we've tried to ratchet up sanctions gradually in order to create pressure and to indicate that there is a way out that we would like to talk with russia. and in the conflict withdrawing

its forces we establish security. agreements implemented in the. us president donald trump has threatened to cancel a planned meeting with russian president vladimir putin at this week's g. twenty summit but russia says the meeting will occur as it's too important for both sides. or for the very latest let's cross over to our moscow correspondent yury rachet. martial law in ukraine russian troops on the border new russian missile systems for crimea any idea where this is headed. i don't think we have to be afraid of a potential war or a huge huge military conflict between russia and ukraine now terry of course we're hearing determined statements on both sides in ukraine and russia we see on television a ukrainian president showing plans which he says prove that the russians are preparing an attack but i don't believe that moscow now wants to annex eastern ukraine for example like

a deal with grammy in twenty fourteen first of all first of all it's important pointing out that it's still unclear what exactly happened in this thread of couch some questions are still open secondly irrational wanted to annex eastern ukraine it could have done it as twenty fourteen when it did it annexed crimea and that time would have been the simpler simpler militarily and politically from the russian point of view in the meantime moscow isn't paying much attention to the dawn bust because russia is fighting on many other friends after all the political situation has changed as well a lot since twenty fourteen so moscow is an outcast on the international stage not a month passes without the new sanctions from the west so it would be a very inconvenient time for russia to carry out any kind of invasion at the moment here you mention sanctions or there's talk of imposing new sanctions on russia and fully implementing the existing ones how much could that hurt russia.

i don't think new sanctions would do any good for us the russia is used to sanctions at this point second it would only bring russia further away from the minsk peace agreement the greens may never have been really amounted to but all politicians at all levels terry emphasized that there is no alternative to it but this source of all problems isn't from maine to the issue of crimea and it's the source of many of the sanctions as well the russians have seen the peninsula's for the russians for more than four years now the ukrainian see the peninsula as ukrainian and both sides will certainly not change their positions there for a practical pragmatic solution on the ground just around the straits of kids couch is strongly needed and political negotiations. we've heard u.s. president donald trump say in an interview let's get angela involved referring to german chancellor angela merkel of course what role could germany possibly play in this conflict in terms of mediation. i think germany

could play a big role anglo-american enjoys a very high respect on both sides have great respect ukrainian president poroshenko said for example yesterday in the german newspaper in an interview americal safeties country in twenty fifteen he meant medical stroll during the negotiations on the means peace agreement russian president putin also has great respect for america she talked to her in the fold after the conflict last weekend and i think that of all western politicians terry maracle has the best chance for mediating and was issued yuri thank you so much for the moscow correspondent yuri there. doesn't sports for you now starting with football a big night in the champions league the premier match in europe's top club tournament sol pub the sun's a man defeat last year's runner up liverpool it took only thirteen minutes to open the scoring p.s.g. not giving his side to leave his team mate the star player name added another in

the thirty seventh minute to put p.s.g. in the driver's seat liverpool close the gap when james milner converted a penalty kick before half time but. managed to hold on a two one with. the weekend chests superstar magnus carlsen has successfully defended his crown at the world chess championship in london the twenty eight year old beat american fabiano caruana in three straight rapid chess tiebreakers on wednesday after no winner had emerged in nearly three weeks of face offs. twelve games had not managed to produce a winner with all twelve indeed in drawing a novelty and a world championship but it wasn't quite unexpected magnus carlsen and challenger fabiano carolina were the two best chess players in the world it's possible defending champion carlsen had decided to pit his fortunes on the quick fire

tiebreakers after all that's how he won the title two years ago for his latest triumph the norwegian will take home five hundred fifty thousand euros since very special for me to win this time i feel like i've played the fabiana was a strong discipline and it's i mean in classical chess you know it's at this point just as much rights right inside. the bus and once it's magnus carlsen who hoists the trophy for the fourth time. a german court is set to rule today on a legal battle between an installation artist and a museum. it concerns the curious questions does an museum have the right to destroy. and if so does the artist deserve compensation the case stems from a controversial renovation work money could. come visit whole be considered the art it is or rather was called the aged hole of

mannheim it was an integral part of the german city's main art museum before its new building was inaugurated earlier this year the holes creator was outraged that her work of art wouldn't survive. this concert mccartney it's not experience you can only understand it when you experience it if you only see photos of it that it would be like seeing only parts of a living thing and if you only show one part of your body then you don't get the full picture guys to mention if you like to state. that it was three years ago on this is my himes new art museum built as planned without the age old. decision and it's a living what she wrote that herself and what lives sometimes die is too much in any case a living out what changes and i as an expert consent leave out for that appeal in its day the age old was

a popular attraction. for some time residence the price tag of over sixty eight million euros for the new building was expensive. going to the art museums right when they say that they're the anus of the art installation and his anus can decide what they do you. know a whole can be art but a new building is a new building not really brown bobbins demanded three hundred twenty thousand euro compensation from the city of mannheim the court battle over the age old has lasted for years one thing's for sure the a child's time has already run act. well a battle over brags it is continuing here to tell us about some grim predictions for brags that britain economically absolutely the u.k. leaving the european union with no deal would have devastating consequences for the british economy that's the consensus of both a report by the british government and an analysis by the bank of england deal or

no deal britain would be poorer outside the block bought a disk all than the divorce and no deal breaks it would multiply the negative impact. no deal breck's at what had britain's economy hard the bank of england predicts traumatic consequences if that happens. by the end of twenty twenty three g.d.p. is more than ten percent lower in the disorderly scenario compared to that me twenty sixteen trend the bank also said if the island nation has to leave the e.u. and a hard break said the pound could plummet twenty five percent against other major currencies that's a worst case scenario it says but possible if the country doesn't agree to a deal even so it's still far from clear that theresa may will be able to push her agreement with the e.u. through a comeback of british parliament although she's doing all she can to give things a positive spin on what we see behind the analysis that we have published today and

indeed the chancellor recognise this morning is that our deal is the best deal available for jobs and our economy that allows us to all of the referendum and realise the opportunities of breaks in the analysis carried out by the government also shows britain's economy will suffer even if the deal goes through so the big question is just how bad will the damage be if the deal is passed says the study the economic consequences will be much less drastic shortly before the vote on december eleventh breaks it remains as contentious as ever. as being only by itself and as a correspondent in frankfurt only g.d.p. down ten percent. twenty five percent below me forecasts help us break it down. well the pound are going down by that much tanking that makes everything more expensive for the birds from food fruit and vegetables to soap to machinery that

needs to be imported if there's an industry that's going on in great britain there would be less investment of course less confidence there and tariffs would make things more expensive and i think one thing that the government report showed that was very interesting a phenomenon that i think few so far pre-shared the prime minister wants to impede immigration by e.u. citizens and if done that would amount to about half the cost that these reports stated. to the brits that is it hurts productivity reduces the talent pool a major part of the cost how have markets reacted so far to these two new reports. i think very surprisingly they seem to be brushing it off both if you look at sterling the pound yesterday actually gaining for the day today it's gaining again and the footsie down just slightly yesterday and today projected to go up in early training so investors are brushing it off but you have to remember that the pound

has tanking behind it already since that vote in june two thousand and sixteen behind it it's priced in for the moment at least we bounce in frankfurt thank you. the decision of general motors to close up to five plants in north america shocked employees and families in lordstown ohio where the company wants to close down and tie in a factory inside workers cling to the hope g.m. management will change schools. tell me why he called his proud of working for general makes his his father work here too at the g.m. plant in lordstown ohio as does his brother tommies always hoped his kids might one day find a job at the factory too so the news has devastated him you know i feel that. there's a good chance. literally shut its doors and if that happens i feel like you know

our town is just going to be you know done just finished g.m. is the biggest employer in rural lordstown but the plans only produces the chevy cruze after all small and compact cars are not that popular in the u.s. anymore g.m. stock increased by about ten percent the day after they made the announcement so investors are happy with that because what serves the bottom line of g.e. and these companies is not necessarily what what is best for these communities and certainly what's not not what's best for the workers a chevrolet impala was the first cops have rolled off the assembly nines here half a century ago sixteen million cars later and the lordstown factory could face closure on march first next year there is definitely still hope because i think even even mary barra the c.e.o. of g.m. knows how important mortality is told us and maybe you know

why i'm doing this is just a reminder to let her know like there are people like me there are people like me that have children that depend we literally depend on being able to go to work and make good you know money and get our paycheck at the end of the week and if you take that away from us what are we going to do tommy wiley carver and others know that their union the state government and president trump are on their side they just hope that they can keep their plant and their livelihoods going. kickout safety inspectors brought enough to the tragedy in april twenty thirty thousand textile workers died in a factory collapse the tragedy has shown a spotlight on the working conditions in the sweatshops of the bangladeshi garment industry used by many in. the national press a force the government safety checks but now the international team of inspectors will be forced to leave the country this friday for. worsening conditions for
