now. this could be set the revocation or so very dangerous to our nation if we start hordes of thousands of thousands just across the board pressure cities you know this recipe for disaster it has to stop here. for all of the criminals in tijuana as he calls a caravan migrants from central america. sheltered on the other side of the border robert has this message. we've got to stop it's going to stop they have to go back or they're going to be a truck flown bus walk whatever they have to go home and they have to work on their own problems if they've got to get elections you know revolution if that's for ticks 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 troop 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 stephens emas reporting there on the vigilante minutemen project that monitors the us mexico border and stuff and joins us now from c. a wanna for more stephanie 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 minutemen is highly controversial and most of the people who are in this group or 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 is in danger somehow and some want their livelihoods again most of america i would say and be on the safe side with this estimate is not buying into this in this sentiment of the minutemen project not at all seven tell us what sort of conditions are the migrants facing there on the border you described a humanitarian crisis. well it's a cry for curious they're in this in those shelters situations deteriorated from last week when we were here significantly last week we were here were 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 cemetery a situation is precarious. days 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 kwan 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 is 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 t. a lot of mexico. now looking at some other stories making headlines around the world today a philippine court has found three police officers guilty of murder for the killing of a teenage boy of the first convictions of officers carrying out president roderigo to terrorist is so cold war on drugs the death of seventeen year old kim lloyd has

stirred unprecedented public a. south korea's top court has ordered a second japanese company to compensate individuals for colonial era forced labor the court ordered mitsubishi heavy industries to pay up to the equivalent of one hundred seventeen million euro's to twenty eight victims of their or their families tokyo has called the ruling totally unacceptable. and solemn a sort of this really has won georgia's presidential election becoming the first soviet republics of the former soviet republics first female president near final results show sort of really won fifty nine point six percent of the vote the former foreign minister is backed by the ruling party favors balancing georgia's relations with russia and the west. speaking of russia president vladimir putin has accused ukraine of orchestrating sunday's naval standoff russia sees

three craney and vessels and has detained their crews pending trial in turkey has condemned the black sea off the coast of crimea as a russian act of aggression ukraine's president has declared martial law in the border regions he says is preparing for war. putting on a show of readiness ukrainian troops trenches near the russian border 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 many of them. 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. again 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 that genuinely ending the conflict withdrawing its forces we establish security and then getting the minsk agreements implemented in the don't non-serious television. 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 now let's cross over to our moscow correspondent yury rachet oh last year we've got 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 oteri of course we're hearing determined statements on both sides in ukraine and russia we see on television a ukrainian president showing plant species 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 did with grammy in twenty fourteen first it's all first of all it's important pointing out that it's still unclear what exactly happened in this trade of carriage some questions are still open secondly it russia wanted to annex eastern

ukraine it could have done it as twenty fourteen when they 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 mentioned 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 agreement might never have been really amounted to but all politicians at all levels terry emphasized that there is no alternative to it

but the source of all problems isn't from main so the issue of credit 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 the 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 column flicked 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 a 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 told it 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 in these issues yuri thank you so much for the moscow correspondent yury rachet oh there. norwegian chess 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 tiebreaker all in wednesday. twelve games had not managed to produce a winner with all twelve indeed in draws a novelty and a world championship but it wasn't quite unexpected magnus carlsen and challenger fabio carolina were the two best chess players in the world it's possible defending
