triggering disbelief in outrage around the world we have to warn you you may find parts of our following report disturbing. it has come to this a father with his tiny toddler tucked inside. drowned in search of a better life according to reports oscar alberto martinez decided to swim across the rio grande day with his wife and child in a bid to seek asylum in the u.s. . his wife tanya. watched as her loved ones succumb to the currents seen here in the red she is led away but after. her shows that these people tried to cross the river to the united states a garret jumped in the water in the draw and when he tried to rescue her. from the . apartment. back in their native el salvador their deaths have started anger and much anguish as their family mourns.

this was her favorite doll this one she had every time her mother got her ready. for a family with their lives ahead of them. was not yet 2 years old and the demons that had come and the last message my son sent me was on saturday he said mama i love you mama they are moment he said take care of yourselves because we're fine here when i read that message i don't know it made me want to cry because i saw it as a source of goodbye. in. the tragedy a marriage to democrats in washington passed a bill calling for extra cash to address the conditions in migrant detention centers because recognize for one minute thank you madam speaker this situation is

child abuse is not tri-city that violates every value we have not only as americans but as moral beings donald trump says he will veto it but deaths like oscar and valerie is on america's borders may make such a hard line stance difficult to hold. while speaking outside the white house he was president donald trump gave his reaction to that the storming picture of that father and daughter. if we had the right laws that the democrats are not letting us have those people they wouldn't be coming up they wouldn't be trying we're building the wall it's under construction it's a lot of it is under construction we'll have over 400 miles next year by the end of the year but it's very important they can change it very easily so people don't come up and people won't get killed women are being raped on the journey up you have these caravans women

a big rig and one of the terrible things children are actually being brought into slaves of if you look at what's happening the cartels and the coyote they're getting rich because the democrats refuse to change the low poll. numbers who is president donald trump there are we want to bring in now a laura mukherji director of the immigrants rights clinic and columbia law school she is one of the attorneys who visited the border patrol facility in clinton texas it was her observations of squalid conditions for children that triggered a national outcry or it's good to have you on the program i want to ask you did you think last week that just one week later we would be talking about children dying at the border children have been dying at the border for years where it's not me and over the past year there have been several and 7 deaths of children and federal immigration custody once they are actually in the end i would states

you asked me what i thought a week ago a week ago i was wrapping up interviews plants and i was devastated and heartbroken by the appalling and aggregating degradation that i witnessed there and i i didn't know at that point what i would do. we know that in the past couple of days the customs and border protection officers every portably moved hundreds of children out of that facility do we know where those children or are now i mean do we know if the where they're living if the conditions are better right so the reports that i have heard are that on monday it was announced that several 100 children weren't being moved out of the current the cell any then yesterday we learned about 100 children were brought back into the facility and we are trying to track where the children are last week there were 2600 children in

the custody of customs and border patrol agents in those facilities this week as of just this week there are only 1000 children left in those facilities we don't yet know where those children are and we certainly don't know the conditions in which those children are being held we are calling for an immediate investigation into every cv people syllabi where immigrant children are being detained. would you say that it's possible that we're talking about crimes being committed here i mean it's one thing to say that we're not providing people with basic sanitary needs such as toothbrushes and blankets and soap but would you say that actual criminal behavior has been taking place against these children. what i can say is that the government is clearly violating the law

a law that was passed in 2008 with bipartisan unanimous support in both houses and signed into law by president george w. bush says that children must not be in these facilities for any longer than 72 hours and what we witnessed in fruit last week is children in c.b.p. custody for days weeks and nearly a month and this is absolutely in violation of phone law on the floor a settlement agreement for 997 requires that children be provided with safe and sanitary conditions what we witnessed in clint's was neither see nor sanitary it was filthy disgusting and emergent public health crisis with the flu epidemic and always at the station and i wanted to ask you before we run out of time the the image of the little girl and her father from el salvador who drowned in the rio grande river that image has been compared particularly here in europe with the

image from 4 years ago of the little syrian boy who drowned and washed up on a beach in turkey do you see parallels between the migration crisis of 2015 and what we're seeing now what the mexican us border. yes so she or in the united states we're seeing asylum seekers refugees fleeing for their own law explain the worst trauma as the worst trips of violence imaginable and they're coming to the united states just as they were coming to europe in hopes of the better future at least of peter in which they wouldn't be killed and it is so devastating to see that image i hope that image can be a call to action for all americans regardless of party affiliation that we must take care of children who are entering the united states and who are weak in

our borders. yeah i think most people around the world would agree with you with that for sure. director of the immigrant rights clinic at columbia law school a long time. in your story thank you. thank you very much. for here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the migrant rescue ship sea watch has entered italian waters despite an order from rome to stay away migrants on board have appealed to italian authorities to allow them to disembark after 2 weeks of circling the island of lampedusa italy's government says that the ship should travel on to germany or the netherlands pro-democracy activists in hong kong have delivered a petition to the u.s. consulate and european union offices asking them to put pressure on the chinese

in the west bank palestinian peace negotiator 100 national we describe the international conference and manama bahrain as divorced from reality. the elephant. is of course so. it is the israeli occupation which was never mentioned not once the conference brought together billionaire investors with middle east diplomats and financial aid as it was organized by president trump someone lower and senior adviser jared krishna on hearing the palestinian response to his $50000000000.00 economic plan the 38 year old real estate investor accused palestinian leaders of not caring about their people the palestinians see question and the trumpet ministration as having a pro israel bias they ask why if washington is so concerned about palestinians well being trump cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to palestinian humanitarian organizations earlier this year. here in germany authorities

say that a suspected right wing extremist has confessed to killing a politician valter luka he was shot at his home in the western city of castle earlier this month mr luker was a senior regional politician a member of the german chancellor angela merkel's conservative party the c.d.u. . the 45 year old suspect identified in germany only as stephanie 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 this these are always 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. 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 . say it again in 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 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 vowed to do. are going to pull

a political correspondent. more details good evening to you what does this state case tell us about the size and reach of germany's right wing extremist problem. well it certainly seems to be bigger than i previously had thought interior minister. has said again today that around 12000 right wing extremists in germany ready and willing to commit violence which is a huge number and obviously the case the killing of 5 to look also evokes memory or has evoked memories off the serious of murders carried out by the end this use a national socialist underground over right wing militant terrorist group that has killed 10 people mostly immigrants in the early 2000 and investigators i call now saying they want to investigate the links between definitely who says he has acted

alone and the and this you and other right wing terrorist networks to see how big this network really is yes big it is and perhaps to shed some light on whether or not the german government is doing what. you can bet we. do we know that it's doing all that it can well piers that also it's not the case today the head of the domestic intelligence agency admitted that his authority stopped seized monitoring the suspects definitely in 2009 even though he has a criminal record and he has been linked to far right extremist groups in the past and a lot of people this is race questions whether germany countries and the authorities are actually doing enough to combat right wing extremism and whether they have underestimated the threat coming from the united states groups and where many argue that how the authorities have dealt with the case also needs to be subject of

further investigations. only phenomenon the story for us tonight here in berlin we only thank you. well if you haven't noticed it will tell you a record breaking heat wave is making life miserable for tens of millions of people across europe in paris authorities have banned 60 percent of cars from the city to mitigate the buildup of dangerous levels of smog an ozone record highs are expected in spain's northeast and in the capital madrid and it is very hot right here in berlin as well. i will keep checking balance temperature throughout the day find out how my fellow berlin us i handling the heat and closely observe if the german capital can top the record. 38.5 degrees celsius that was the hottest june temperature ever recorded in germany until today if this

doesn't sound hot to you it does to people here most of us don't have air conditioning at home. how well prepared i you know i'm taking my family to the pool and we'll be staying there the whole day. best not to work or strain too much stay in the shade. and it's getting hotter by the minute i am and the hot off balance government district. i don't know what america is behind me in this building just to cool down but the tourists have certainly found ways to enjoy the heat. do you have any sort of ways to cope with the heat yet we we have 50 sunscreen all over extra 50 in the back and then we try to stay as much as possible in the shelter. so where do you come from we come from ukraine are you surprised by this weather here in germany at the

moment we didn't know that it was 36 degrees like today 36 degrees you might call it hot but it's do not breaking the temperature records many seem to share my favorite way of cooling down though. so what about that record i am not calling it a day yet. i have found a place in berlin that has definitely top the heat recall on this. in there was standing it actually feels more like 50 degrees but when it's when it's this hot to people who really come and buy kebabs yeah yeah many people buy. bob's make things better i don't know how he does it just thinking about eating a kebab makes me sweat no wonder really considering this has been the hard to stay off the island so far. she's going to need more than a hat if she wants to stay cool we're going to talk about the health implications

of all of this he's do that i'm joined here at the big table by all of the doctor and researcher at the center for space medicine and extreme environments at the sharks a university here in berlin it's good to have you on the show i mean. space and extreme conditions i mean that's what we're in right now isn't it definitely yes it's always that the change elf off the climate conditions so it's when it's when it was kind of cold what what what it was last week's it was like 20 degrees maybe 15 degrees and we go up to 3540 degrees then everybody's getting crazy getting crazy is it did i mean it is a danger to people's health right it is definitely i mean we say that every time there's a heat wave but i mean we really were serious about it i mean people get sick and people can die when the temperatures this guy who's most at risk most of the very young people to up to one or 2 years children and elderly people

above 8080 years of age and people who have severe diseases like kidney disease of heart diseases. other severe diseases like cancer or something and what one of the precautions that people should be taking i mean i'm hoping you're going to say they should have the well working air conditioners definitely so germans are afraid of. me. and the word is german invention you know what else in the world has it's a draft if there's a draft in the room it's like wind when they can make you sick we have all the time i want to ask you scientists say that these heat waves are going to become the new no we're particularly in the summer. the climate is changing rather quickly guess are humans able to adapt. this quickly young people and people at our age no problem so after a while you got. a lot but you know you have to drink

a lot but if specially those people in danger we talked we were talking about they have an enormous risk to get sick and also to give forgotten especially i think about the people who live alone in the cities there are enormous risk risk and we always thinking about we also thinking about this trip in. the doctor's. us we're scientists. who think about those climate changes now this is a good point you make because it's just coming to work today the news there is many people outside because it is so hot and you don't see any of the people outside right now don't they all stay inside and they forget you drink and nobody looks off them and they can that's why they are in danger because nobody thinks about it and it's getting worse that. we run out of time but what about mindset in dealing

with heat you know we were talking about air conditioning for example do we have to change the way we view heat and the way we live with it if we want to have a comfortable life for me is there something that we have to change appears will. we shouldn't i think it's happening automatically but we have to make sure that until it happened and until that process has ended and not we don't have too many people who suffered are gay or have given their lives for it you know so we should be going to foster with changing conditions changing our way to thinking about how to build buildings how. how to what to do with people how to do public transport for example which is also very hot right now.

it's from a university hospital we appreciate your insights and stay cool yeah thanks a lot thank you. art it seems that the heat wave could also have dangerous side effects of another kind setting off unexploded bombs in the 2nd world war the allies dropped millions of bombs over germany they devastated cities but estimates suggest that 100000 of them never exploded undiscovered still with live fuses and potentially vulnerable to you guessed it the heat. after the discovery of a mysterious crater in a western german field it quickly emerged that a world war 2 bomb exploded spontaneously many are wondering if it was due to the scorching summer weather. time and again in germany unexploded aerial bombs are still being found. usually there detonated and controlled explosions at special sites like this one in berlin specialists don't rule out the possibility that heat

can trigger the explosion but they say it's unlikely. that. temperatures play a role but even so the release mechanism spring retains its force for a very long time for more than 70 years at some point due to the nature of the material the plates retention forced to creases them to spring releases and the bomb explodes it's not necessarily dependent on temperature the bombs can lie there undisturbed and still detonate at some point. or do them yet on one. forest fires increased the risk of explosion in the district of what was west berlin experts think unisons are still left over from training exercises by occupying our lots. still hard to determine exactly where the allies trained and where leftover munitions may possibly still be on the ground we don't know exactly where or when the soldiers completed training exercises or what munitions

were used for and in brandenburg the area surrounding berlin fire services extinguished blazes from the air for fear of possible explosions this area was used for decades as a military training area in former east germany perils from the past still lurk in the ground and the blistering temperatures are increasing the danger they pose. thanks for watching everybody.
