many migrants as they try to get into the united states jonathan crane has been following the story and let's start with a photo which of course has generated quite a response yes understandably a lot of anger a lot of a sadness. circulating on social media a person reminder if we needed it the levels that people are prepared to go to to secure a better life for themselves because often these personal stories do get lost in the numbers game the debates about immigration what appears to have happened in the case of the ramírez found is that they were in mexico for 2 months trying to request asylum to the united states that currently migrants trying to seek asylum have to wait in mexico before the u.s. courts process requests and the u.s. administration has really slowed down this process meaning migrants having to wait months or even the years for appointments and that's leading to a lot of frustration which is why the ram or is family then trying to cross the rio grande river critics are saying it's this process the slowing down of the process
6:05 pm
that is forcing migrants to take these risks despite the dangers that they face and this of course a part of the trump administration which has drawn a lot of criticism for this base hardline immigration policy especially. these migration detention centers yes that's right because even if the family had managed to make it across the border there's a risk that they could have gone to jail that's because last year as part of. tolerance policy the u.s. started prosecuting adult migrants for illegally entering the united states and taking away their children now the separations have officially stopped hundreds of children to remain in the detention centers we haven't really too much about the conditions inside the detention centers until now a group of lawyers actually went into one in texas and reported some horrific things one of them said the children had no soap or toothpaste they were having to sleep on the floor and she'd never seen such inhumane conditions when children
6:06 pm
tention i tried to say because we're talking about. and sensitive topics it's a way. i try to. but it was difficult to say to the children because the stench was so awful. very shocking. comments by a justice department lawyer she tried arguing at a court hearing that children didn't need or toothpaste to be safe and sanitary that's what's required by u.s. law now that also provoked a very strong reaction that we've got one tweet to show you here that it did go viral michael scott moore he was kidnapped by somali pirates he said they gave me too spaced and so the implication of course being that the u.s. treats migrants less humanely than pirates do that captivates this is a hot issue not just in the united states but around the world and in the u.s. that democrats and republicans have been arguing about this for years is this
6:07 pm
picture likely to. buzz we've seen there has been a lot of outrage on social media from u.s. journalists in the u.s. activists the democratic presidential contender to attend this. so it was quite a staying on. as you say it's a very divisive issue the democratic bill we had about in the piece is very voted down by the republican controlled senate and of course donald trump may cracking down on illegal immigration one of his key campaign promise is the 2016 it's likely he'll do the same again when he stands for reelection in the u.s. but a lot of pressure on mexico to stop the flow of migrants coming up to the south of the country a lot of them coming from other central american countries the republicans will say this country's responsibilities to source out the. now we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world the migrant rescue

hunger is sounding the alarm of the impact of the climate crisis on the world's food supplies and its latest re a report the organization says rising temperatures over the next decades will lead to a reduction in crop yields an expansion of land terrorism as well as the decline in fish stocks and the fear that millions of people could be forced to leave their homelands in search of better lives elsewhere. review was presented today it's secretary-general is that material. welcome to you. who should be most worried about this. i think we all should be very worried about this development i think we see in the recent years that the numbers of hungry people in the world is rising again it was declining up to the year 2014 but since 2015 numbers are again really rising and this is morning for all of us.
6:10 pm
today your organizations president said that even with climate change our world without hunger is possible by 2030 how. i think it's possible but with the we have to do much much more than we do today and i think everyone can do something we here in the industrial world have to rethink our working our way of living but i think we need to big big push in terms of solar so the dairy t. we have to invest more in climate adaptation in the countries most affected and this is mostly in the tropical and subtropical areas of this world and where should that money come from. i think mostly from the industrial countries who have actually induced who are responsible for this climate change we see today and the money should come primarily from there and should that be loans.
6:11 pm
candy loans but i think most of it should be actually really grants because i mean people countries most affected are surely the least developed countries the so-called l d c's and they should really benefit from climate adaptation programs and these should be grants of course also almost certain conditional basis not just give them just for free like this but i think these climate adaptation programs are now necessary urgently ok so we live in the real world how do politicians sell that idea to electorates what's in it for the donating countries. you know i think in the end we're all benefiting from lot and i think we see this record high temperatures here in berlin already last year we saw it here in germany that temperatures are rising extreme weather events are affecting us i mean these
6:12 pm
extreme weather events are affecting least developed countries people living there and have very harsh conditions since many many years and i think now we are already we are realising how bad it is and this needs to have an effect on us and as i said we need more solidarity's with the countries which are most affected start a particularly effective sell though is it's too selfish consumers a round the world have your money have your government give more money to countries on the other side of the world because it's it's a good idea. but i think slowly i think everyone is realizing that we need to change and i think the fridays for future demonstrations here in germany show that more and more people younger people see that we need to act and it need to don't have to wait and if we act we have to act now and that's
6:13 pm
this may cost money but i think it is money which is well invested. from. thank you thank you that's not jury awaits locks a proper medical rehab clinics for people suffering from alcohol and drug abuse the w. correspondent of flourish takes us to one of the country's a few rehabilitation centers where one man's method of treating addicts is proving controversial. ibrahim's older brother has come to think he's. the former alcoholic has spent more than a year living at this rehab of the 2 showed symptoms 1st look at him then in the dark before i was brought to the center i always came home drunk i used to take different types of drugs my family were not happy that's why they brought me here. brand new pastor no. i've assured them that i will never go back to drugs you know
6:14 pm
. i think i begin to hear. the brain says that thanks to the treatments he's received here he's now clean and can start his life afresh. this rehabilitation center in ca do not you not a major area he's one of the few in the country founded 13 years ago it's house is more than 200 recovering addicts and it services i'm such high demand more people keep coming. it is also a skill acquisition center so while patients are undergoing treatment here towards different skills that they can turn into small businesses when v.f. fully recovered some of them who should be in school are put in a makeshift classroom the teachers are also recovering addicts found a large and we do says he would thousands of patients.
6:15 pm
get the art and using my knowledge of additional and islamic medicine to treat them . i see this as my contribution to reducing the problem of children getting into drugs. but i had methods a hash those leaving here have to we're uniforms their feet are also chained together or that's why we're only able to get a few shots of the chains because we do doesn't want us to feel moving he also want answered questions about the practice on camera he tells us the chains are to keep the inmates from running away some of them out brought in by their family members and are not here on their own deals. we show the food sage from the rehab center to mental health physicians and doctors. so it's.
6:16 pm

6:17 pm
problems many have no choice than to turn to people like me for help. you're watching live from and still to come. is this painting a lost masterpiece by and who is the mystery virus not to tell for a $100000000.00 before it went to. first. suspected right wing extremist has confessed to the recent killing of the politician. who was shot at his home in the western city of castle this month was a resume your regional politician and a member of chancellor angela merkel's party the c.d.u. . the 45 year old suspect identified in germany only as stephanie he has been detained behind these walls for the last 10 days on tuesday he confessed to shooting votto luka saying he acted alone but germany's federal prosecutor doubts
6:18 pm
this what you thought i was thought that especially despite the suspects claim that he acted alone in our investigations will focus on the possibility that there were supporters accessories helpers or other perpetrators and we will determine whether this crime was the work of a terrorist organization. or if the suspect is a member of all right wing terrorist group but. stephanie has a criminal record that includes hate crimes but he wasn't on authorities radar it's not clear to what extent he had maintained contact with right wing extremist groups . also yet again the investigation of this political killing is not concluded with the suspects confession. the motive for the shooting death of this politician could date back to 2015 when large groups of refugees were arriving in
6:19 pm
germany during a local event to discuss a planned refugee shelter luka who backed chancellor merkel's refugee policy had said germans who don't value coexistence could leave the country if they wished stephanie claims it was this statement that spurred him to kill vow to do. it more on this from the constantine kula is a member of the german parliament for the free democrats and speaks for the interior policy welcome to you how big is germany's right wing extremist problem. well let's not forget that between 2002007 there was the so-called national socialist underground a right wing group that killed 10 people in germany. with extremist intentions the surviving part of this trio was just convicted as a murderer in germany and so let's not forget that killing off i don't look good is
6:20 pm
not the 1st right wing is not the 1st far right crime committed in germany there is a scene supporting them and now is the duty of the authorities to find out what networks and what groups were behind this killing so how big is this why does it seem to be flourishing here in germany. well obviously in the last years the security authorities in germany have been focusing themselves on islamic terrorism on islamic extremism and that was the right thing to do but we should not forget that there are other forms of extremism as well there is a huge group of right wing extremism in germany just in other countries that we have to be in mind that some of them are so dangerous that they have to be under surveillance and obviously this has not been the case in the current state in the current case and why is it flourishing here in germany well i think there has
6:21 pm
always been a right wing scene. in germany we should not forget that germany has historically a responsibility when it comes to fighting right wing extremism. notwithstanding this history of germany it should always be the responsibility and the duty of authorities to fight right wing extremism and i would have wished that the federal minister of the interior would would find words to describe also political leadership and a political responsibility in doing so words and what actions. what should he know it was the fault it needs to be investigated whether there was a network behind the suspect the suspect claims to have acted alone but this shouldn't be believed without further investigation so 1st of all we need to investigate whether there is a network behind him 2nd we have to work on the digital competencies and the digital understanding of our security or thora t's they don't have in mind and they
6:22 pm
don't sort of what's going on in the internet when it comes to hate speech when it comes to threatening politicians when it comes to people threatening people that are engaged in the civil society and we have to discuss about federalism as well in germany we have the numerous. different agencies in charge of security we have to discuss whether the distribution of power is in the security federalism is still the right thing to do ok so lots for the government to think about for now though cause them to call it we thank you for joining us at the free democrats in tears to thank my pleasure. now across europe record temperatures are making life miserable for tens of millions of people and france authorities are taking drastic action to prevent hatred 80 deaths and other health problems in paris officials bond 60 percent of cars from the city in order to mitigate the buildup of dangerous levels of smog and ozone stream temperatures also focused especially in record highs are
