allies russia china and his country's military. with the crisis escalating he appeared on state t.v. visiting an army base an apparent attempt to project strength. to the united states now where the pentagon says that it will send additional troops to its front here with mexico the move came two days after president doubled down on his call for a wall to boost border security opponents described the mission as a political stunt designed to create the illusion of a crisis and our correspondent alex hunter phenomena traveled to arizona to speak with people living at the border and the ones already guarding it. patrolling the u.s. mexican border here in arizona it stretches for more than six hundred kilometers agent down in the hernandez takes us to a remote part of it protected by an anti vehicle barea he says what's happening at

the border is a crisis like he's never seen before there are still a lot of people there trying to cross the border illegally the do not want to be caught but now we have added element and dynamic of having family units from central america they're giving themselves of the border patrol which brings in a humanitarian crisis images recently captured by a mobile through billions you need show families crawling under a small fence into the u.s. even though the total number of our preventions along the border has dropped over the last two decades the age and say their job is no more difficult than ever we're in the city of nogales agent hernandez the existing border fence here only recently has concertino wire been installed on top of its. we know that there is certainly a possibility that people can still come over or drop of a come over and recognize that but it's definitely a tool that works effectively and in this particular area has completely changed

the landscape for more security less illegal crossings that sounds like an argument for presidents drums border war but was it worth shutting down the government over the border patrol agents told us they don't talk politics they're here to do their job regardless of what's going on in washington however they seemed happy and relieved that a deal has been reached at least temporarily we opened the government neither the shutdown nor trams plans for a border wall have been popular in downtown nogales we need each other says the city's mayor democrat are to regard the economies on both sides of the border heavily depend on mutual trade. maybe president needs to sometimes given a little bit and say you know what ok let's find this find a common ground this find something that we can do together but stick to border security and economic development and by national relations with mexico after thirty five days of shutdown the federal workers in our result will be finally

getting their paychecks but the row over the border wall is still far from over but . let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world the bahraini footballer hakeem al-arabiya is facing two months in prison after a thai court tonight him bail the former national team player and australian resident is fighting extradition to his native country for allegedly vandalizing a police station all of arabia fears torture and even death if he is for turned to bahrain. and el salvador former mayor not just to kelly has easily won the country's presidential election the anti corruption campaigner security of majority after the first round of voting picking up more votes than his three rivals combined with kelly's victory and the two party system that has governed all salvador for nearly three decades. and more than eleven hundred people in queensland australia are fleeing their homes after record breaking flooding the

city of townsville has been particularly hard hit with more than a meter of rain falling in just a week the flooding has forced authorities to open the gates of a nearby dam after it's well above capacity. investigators have found the wreckage of a plane which crashed with the football player a million of salah on board it disappeared from the radar over the english channel two weeks ago salo was on his way to join up with his new club cardiff city when the plane went missing. pope francis has arrived in ob-la da it is the first time that a pope has ever visited the muslim jordi country kingdom excuse me of the united arab emirates he was greeted by abu dhabi's crown prince during his two day visit he is due to meet leading muslim clerics and holds an open air mass the historic trip is aimed at turning a page in christian muslim relations in the region. for many of the one point five

million catholics in the united arab emirates it's the stuff of dreams the idea of the pope visiting the arabian peninsula the birthplace of islam was unthinkable a few years ago pope francis was invited by abu dhabi's rulers local parish priest to try and hold santa says the pontiff wants to foster tolerance and promote a moderate brand of islam. it's definitely a sick you know he wants to build bridges he wants to say look it's lamas changing it can change and it also wants to change. the emirates have declared twenty nineteen is the year of tolerance and there's a lot of symbolism in the invitation i'm sure. there which should be. but this is the sort of visit. pope francis

will be in the emerge for three days he's expected to address a series of issues including the lack of legal rights for foreign workers but the fact a pope will lead a catholic service on the islamic and arabian peninsula is a sensation in itself. so let's get more on this visit we are joined by martin gak religious affairs add a list this is the first happel visit city of arabian peninsula martin really that is right yes i mean this is a pope of many firsts people have repeated over and over over and last few years and this is actually the first trip to the area this is an area that was essentially out of the vatican sort of immediate purview because the population of got the legs is actually quite low but it has become actually hotspot a great political importance because much of the power is projected from there are big and because in the journal region got the legs have come christians in general have come under enormous pressure from different conflicts and different

governments etc so this has become actually a very important blazer a very important focal point for the vatican for at least now about ten years or so and i mean he says that he wants a new chapter in fact in christian muslim relations in the region how does he plan on achieving that but i think that to some degree he has been fostering this vatican specially through several of its internal institutions has been fostering closer relations with server several muslim organizations sort of around the region but particularly sort of an interim really just dialogue at the very same time what is true it said the vatican has had a very powerful and very effective diplomatic machine that has deployed in several conflicts around the world and you know we are seeing of course the top of the table so to say on our screens we're seeing actually that the page in pageant but you know behind closed doors what we're going to really hear is months progress is sort of all the conversations and all dialogue and all the next. let's talk about one of those conversations that might potentially happen because i mean he has

condemned the united arab emirates involvement for example in the conflict in yemen now he's in abu dhabi are we likely to see more pressure put on by the pope well i mean he actually made himself very clear even yesterday at noon during the angelus us he was preparing himself to leave to up to to the middle east i mean to the united arab emirates he said that basically this was a complete humanitarian catastrophe and we don't mentioning you know the country by name i mean he clearly said that he was there essentially in a mission to try to bring peace the thing about this but this in that way that this purpose he has operated international goes legs and has done it by the way very efficiently as they did in cuban american relations us in the syrian front when they actually negotiate essentially the u.s. stopped from from advancing into a country something that we only find out many months later so we have the people in the grown negotiating and then the results are really the first things we see so i don't really expect to hear a great pronouncements over the next two days but i do think that this kind of

operations tend to have an effect on global politics a couple of months thereafter and that's when you know that's something hop fascinating stuff martin gak walking us through it as the pope as we mentioned as he is visiting that area of the world we appreciate it thank you. but now in other news iran is celebrating the fortieth anniversary of is that if the law make revolution when the shah was toppled and ayatollah khomeini took power as part of those celebrations the islamic republic has been showing off its arsenal of ballistic missiles. it was a display put on by the or thora tees to showcase iranian made military hardware including drones and medium to long range ballistic missiles. some reports say public interest in the arms show has been muted but one visitor himself a war veteran seemed fired up. for that so often the enemy knows as the

supremes leader said the era of hit and run is over if they hit us they will be hit back they have already seen this. that enemy is iran's arch foe in the region israel iranian state television showed footage of missile tests somewhere in the desert fueling fears iran now has the capability to strike the jewish state from its own soil israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu sent out a defiant signal to its enemy usually i have a clear message to the tyrants in terror and we know what you are doing and we know where you are doing it for we will continue to act against iran with all tools at our disposal in order to ensure israel's security and future. but with iran in the grip of an economic crisis as the reimposed u.s. sanctions on the country begin to bite ordinary iranians may have more pressing

issues on their minds than a show of military prowess. and now to ethiopia where the residents of bob may worry that they may soon be ruled by their former enemies eritrea that you countries waged a border war for thirty years of our air tran's independence a un led commission forged a deal over the boundary back in two thousand and two but it has not been implemented and ethiopia's prime minister has now promised to enforce the deal but but may residents firmly oppose this move. at the end of this road lies about me a highly symbolic toll of the border between ethiopia and eritrea. here the effects of the war like the dust in the air hang heavy around one hundred thousand people were killed now two decades after the conflict began it still feels like a no man's land and people living here just don't feel as though they're part of

the peace process. and as husband died in the war she can't bear the thought of bad me being under eritrean authority for her it would be like handing over a child. who other many people sacrificed their life for. and of the you have to now you can see the graves in our cemetery. many children grow up as orphans. so why should we give away my love myself i will die for me just like my husband. because he ation with every trial last july was seen by many as a political victory and then decades of instability. many people and bad men were confident that they would benefit from prime minister major reforms but now they feel like the agreement is being imposed upon them to the who is the town mayor

he is determined to restore the border along the marab river about twenty kilometers to the north and says if europeans and every trans living in the area agree on this. that's why he wants discussions at grassroots level. and i remember . that he minister alone cannot decide the border issue. the people should have the power to do that. if peaceful dialogue can be conducted together with the people they can be a solution because they know that. clan leaders mostly elders who traditionally settle disputes who are sent to hold discussions with their neighbors but the eritrean military stopped them at the border. it was only a child when the first bullets were fired in but me but he remembers it very well for him the war didn't just start in his town it also has to end here now where you

can walk. we the people don't want to fight. but the peace process should be organized in a fair way and the people should believe in it one and i got the call and given away on it i can be no continuous peace. so far there has been no indication that the physical location of the border crossing point will change or that it will be opened for the people of bet me the border is still just a few miles to the north as it has always been. well meantime today is world cancer day dedicated to the fight against one of the world's biggest killers back in twenty eighteen the disease claimed an estimated nine point six million lives worldwide prevention screening and our leads hench detection are the focus of this year's campaign dr saying that millions of cases could have been treated more

effectively had they been detected sooner despite advances in medicine nearly half of those diagnosed die of the disease and between thirty and fifty percent of cases could have been prevented entirely colon cancer is particularly difficult to diagnose because there are many forms of the disease but now so-called bio banks across europe are trying to find new treatments with the help of big data. living human tissue can be crucial in cancer research and this is how it's stored in liquid nitrogen at very low temperatures. but it's only a small part of the biological samples been studied at this bio bank in the austrian city of cuts. we have here more than sixty thousand samples of colon cancer which is a hutu number but we have almost everything that you can imagine starting from here . small pieces of

a muscle or skin we have ever through. surgery patients donate infected tissue cells for research the samples are processed into thin slices and registered in a database. placed on slides the samples are scanned by an automatic device. the more the better as this information teaches algorithms to accurately diagnose different types of colon cancer. with these slides some much more relevant research is now that they can be digitized with a high resolution scan knows as we go to see and this makes them crucial in training the algorithms that can recognize morphological changes. this dimension matters here. and researchers also have access to millions more samples and patient data from other european bio banks thanks to a joint research infrastructure. the hope is that this will help find personalized

treatments for each individual patient. the new england patriots have been crowned american football's n.f.l. champions after winning the super bowl in atlanta and joining us now with all the action is next now for sports so how did it go down. it went down like a lukewarm cup of tea i would drive you say not something you'd hear the average n.f.l. fan describe a football match like but it was one for the purists rather than the casual fans of which there are many all around the world watching the super bowl of course but it was the lowest scoring final thirteen to three was the farmer's goal the patriots win once again that's six title now in just nineteen years and before the game it was built as this game of contrasts a defensive patriots team against a high off and young l.a. rams team with the coaches bill belichick sixty six the oldest of a in a super bowl final and the oldest to win it and his opposite number thirty three

just half his age and show him very of the l.a. rams but it fell a bit flat really of defensive masterclass you could say and on the playing field it was very much a case of you know getting those fine margins we had tom brady the stock quarterback of the patriots who we can see here winning his sixth ring because he just came the defense of the iraq and the young quarterback of the other and just couldn't step up to the case and jarrett golf there was just one single touchdown in the game sunday michel who we can see here celebrating near the end of the game getting that touchdown but you know the patriots they're not known for being the most spectacular team to watch it so. you know and able to get the result over the end thirteen to three like i said the lowest scoring super bowl so they did it to support them but you know these are the day they are big winners and i mean tom. randi we have to you know hats off to him can we describe him as the

greatest of all time yeah i mean in american sports there's often this this idea of the goat the graces of all time and he's often been touted as that and he surely has the biggest claim now because even before this he was described by many as the greatest quarterback of all time and now he's got a six super bowl win which makes him the the most for any individual player he was previously tied on five and he's forty one years old and he looks set to go on and i mean it's quite incredible he's older than his opposition coach by eight years and he's the oldest quarterback to play at those players the plane and the oldest to win it and just like his coach bill belichick who like i said at sixty six is still going strong and this patriots team has this low stock count lots of role players who do that job and you have to credit bill belichick as well because he took a gamble years and years ago on tom brady when no one really expected him to be the superstar quarterback that he became so every individual player in this team knows

that job tom brady is the only real notable star along with a handful of other players and off to so many as they're still going strong but i mean some of those players they're close to retirement we have to say i mean what does that mean for the team now going forward because they have been the big winners in the past years to see that going forward if there's a bit of a shake up here well i mean this was meant to be the sort of big changing of the guard the super bowl many expected the l.a. rams to win this young high powered seem and again the old patriots prevailed tom brady like i said says he wants to continue in his words when i suck well he doesn't suck he's just walking the super bowl again and the owner of the team the patriots owner bob kraft he said we're not letting you guys retire because there's a couple like you say stars who are very much on the cost their mccourty twins and rob gronkowski who old room and to be retiring but i don't know. saying not just yet guys we can still win this thing

a few more times so it will be interesting to see we expect a few of these players to announce their is on the scene but tom brady looks set to continue i think the coach bill belichick might retire and that could really be a change for the n.f.l. a seismic change all across the league where the young coaches in the younger teams will be ushered in ok fascinating stuff thank you so much max now we push it. but now it is back to germany and the bundesliga strugglers pulled off a big win at home against mines on sunday taking all three points in some rather inhospitable weather conditions despite snow the hosts were in hot form and overwhelms their opposition in large part thanks to a stellar performance from star striker alfred finn bogus and. yes lehmann made his debut as assistant coach for our book the bavarians are hoping the former germany keeper will foster a winning mentality the team certainly began with plenty of confidence and in the

eighth minute handball by daniel brzezinski gave them the chance to score from a penalty alfred finn bogus and kept up his one hundred percent record from the spot. and lightning struck twice for book in the thirty fourth minute another handball in the books gave them another penalty the referee had to check with the video assistant this time but the decision stood and finn bogus and converted again of course his ninth goal of the season had to nail a head at half time after the break the hosts continued to dominate the game and with less than an hour to go on a counterattack ended with finn bogus in scoring his third goal it was the icelandic strikers for the trick. that was more than enough to end alex berg's ten game winless streak the yen's lehmann effect is already in full swing. a
