a warning that the state of louisiana still faces a significant threat in the coming days. and as india gears up to launch a space probe to the moon excitement is rising among the nation's schoolchildren to this next generation of potential astronauts have been attending events leading up to the launch around the capital delhi. both going to. the bag. i'm irish waiter thank you for joining us. the u.s. vice president mike pence has said that the situation at the mexican border is in crisis his words came after a visit to overcrowded migration detention centers in texas president donald trump said on friday that he had dispatched to the border to dispel the multitudes of reports of dire conditions at these centers and meanwhile vigils were held around

the country to call for an end to the trouble ministrations immigration policy. a vigil in front of the white house calling for the closure of detention centers it was one of around 700 nationwide the activists here say that the way migrants are treated is incompatible with american values. because of the kids held in cages because of the horrible treatments going on the borders the united states and we really need to demonstrate to show people they were a better country than that we can really open our borders and welcome people and i think we've deviated from our founding values and we need to return and i'm pleased to see this group united here and in many other places across the country almost 400 men were at an overcrowded and foul smelling detention center that u.s. vice president mike pence visited in texas. but president donald trump insisted the migrants are being treated well. they're the ones that said they were proud they

are proud of a lot of people but there are good i did with ice and i did with border patrol a lot they love those people governor brought the border they love them after touring detention facilities some members of congress have criticized the separation of families the lack of drinking water and say migrants are forced to sleep on concrete floors was worst about this mr chairman was the fact that there were american flags hanging all over these facilities that children being separated from their parents in front of an american flag. that women were being called these names under an american flag but president trump has splits to continue his policies aimed at discouraging immigration he said nationwide raids to deport illegal immigrants would be going on sunday. elsewhere in the u.s. tropical storm barry has hit the gulf coast near new orleans it's

a relatively weak storm but weather forecasters say the very slow speed means it can dump a huge amount of rain over the region water levels are already threatening the city's levees as authorities warn of deadly flooding across the gulf coast tens of thousands of people have already lost power in the state of louisiana. and joining us now from new orleans is dubious correspondent helena humphrey helena barry was a hurricane and it's now weakened to a tropical storm but how big of a threat does it still pose to the region where it's made landfall. make no mistake my it is still very much a threat meteorologist say it is normal for a storm to be downgraded once it hit lands and once it hits land because then it is not over the water where it sucks its energy up so this is rather normal but at the same time of course the warre with barry has always been the water in a flood prone area where we are now for example in new orleans we worried about

that long slow epic drench of water in the coming days and i will say that one levee one river has already overflowed and levee not here by the mississippi river the river but about an hour and a hoff away from here and there we saw a flash flooding triggered i've already sold and ground in another part of the state we saw 12 people have to be rescued by helicopter today and even if this storm has been downgraded we normally see the 1st hurricane of the year on the 10th organists already this is one month and it's not just the levees right there are fears that the mississippi river might overflow its banks is that still a concern that has been a concern what i can say right now is that the river is very swollen as you can see it has reached about 5 meters today and the levees are at 6 meters they were significantly rebuilt in the wake of hurricane katrina the governor says right now

that they feel confident that they will be able to hold the tides back so right now it seems that everything is in place all the flood gates are closed and that risk has subsided here in new orleans and of course new orleans is the city where over a decade ago hurricane katrina absolutely vis aerated the place brought enormous amounts of flooding our people there confident now that the city can withstand a similar event. i think opinion is divided my on it does remain a great deal of public mistrust i spoke to some people this morning who said that they know of people in the neighborhoods who had just simply taken the choice to leave if they could and of course that memory of that trauma which saw 1800 people killed is still high on people's mind when they're faced with a storm like this and some people just take matters into their own hands they are the sandbags that house or they just choose to leave although there was no show in

forced evacuation due to the fact that this was a hurricane category one and not normally happens with hurricane category 3. and helena humphrey for us in new orleans thank you so much and please stay safe. and out of some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of the sudanese capital khartoum as well as other cities in the country to mourn the dozens of demonstrators who were killed last month men in military fatigues shot and beat crowds outside army headquarters on the 3rd of june saturday's rallies to mark 40 days sense that raid. a russian proton m. rocket has successfully launched a cutting edge of space telescope into orbit the specter argy telescope is the result of close collaboration between russian and german scientists the spacecraft is expected to detect a galaxy clusters observed millions of black holes and tens of thousands of star

forming galaxies. india is due to launch its 2nd ever mission to the moon in just 2 days time the mission's goal is to land a rover near the south pole which hasn't been explored yet in preparation for monday's launch school kids in delhi have been exploring their country's space program at a series of events around the city. it's just another school day but their heads and the starts these kids in a school in new delhi can hardly contain that excitement over indels moon mission. jumps around to is india's 2nd mission to the moon. in the making the launch the 1st push several times over the last year. but now do we despite unity over for what could be a historic mission for the country. but these children from of whom are also in the

astronomy club it is an inspiration. our neighborhood action our like. or do a little more the search is on this planet so. little is known discuss it was whatever. the moment they came to have of the missionaries released i dare not be that my campaign is going to be for trying to send this mission to moon and irish mike and be success. oh didn't you know that you might if you find board wonderful for you of course before for each to solve all. your space is an organization that works on promoting the study and pursuit of astronomy missions like andriy onto opera which are. trying to conceive that all their organization is also competing there in the space race so and also i can tell my students just like

today i bought my students that there is no need to war in foreign countries riyadh having sutil be on country as well. the kids have built their own rule was a nando's i'm ready to test them out. a perfect soft launch. on 2 sets off a 2 51 am local time on monday. but these children i'm excited enough to fight to stay up late on a school night to watch it ok. ok and worse regulators are set to find social media giant facebook a record $5000000000.00 u.s. dollars that's around 4 and a half 1000000000 euros this follows an investigation into privacy violations and the mishandling of user data involving up to 87000000 facebook users to have your reporter alex forrest whiting is with me in the studio so alex tell us more about exactly why this fine is being levied well it's the u.s. federal trade commission o o. t c and that is basically the consumer protection

agency and they have been investigating allegations that a british political consultancy firm called cambridge analytic with access in this facebook data and using it basically for its own ends and now cambridge analytical which now no longer exists had a special op that was linked to facebook where it could harvest this information and the company was also allegedly involved in donald trump's presidential bid back in 2016 the question though for facebook was whether it was violating its requirements to notify uses that it was actually allowing that data to be used by somebody else and whether they had given their consent and that's what this is a wall about this is a record fine $5000000000.00 but presumably this is not a record that facebook is too happy about breaking it's probably not to know but i think the point is that within the commission itself there were 3 republican

commissioners who are happy with the fine but 2 democrats who apparently are not happy and that's because they don't think it goes far enough you would think 5000000000 is a huge amount but look at facebook it is an enormous company it's not like others revenues last year 56000000000 u.s. dollars expected to top $70000000000.00 by the end of this year so many saying $5000000000.00 is just a drop in the ocean for the company where does this leave us in terms of the question of regulation because this is a very deeply iraq top in this news absolutely and the head of public affairs for facebook nick clegg was in berlin just a few weeks ago saying that governments need to regulate social media platforms such as facebook because they can't possibly all the content on them the question is just how far the f.t.c. will go and whether they would decide that actually facebook does need to limit the amount of information it has and what it does about. targeting facebook users with

ads will the f.t.c. go further well probably not given who makes up that commission at the moment it's down to the justice department to decide whether this fine goes ahead but for facebook they're also facing other investigations not just in the u.s. but also outside reporter alex for his writing thank you so much. in formula one receive his rival terry bought us has claimed pole position at this weekend's british grand prix pushing his teammate lewis hamilton to 2nd on the grid the dual looks set to continue their personal battle for the driver's title with the rest of the field unable to keep up. the 1st phase of qualifying went according to plan for lewis hamilton the formula one leader appeared on course for securing his 5th consecutive pole at the british grand prix but hamilton lost valuable time after a brief wobble a critical error which his mercedes team mate. made sure to take advantage of.

just the finish driver took pole with just 80.006 seconds and 5 to. her reach 21 year old monographs to a clerk took 3rd. speaking after the session for tots was delighted to be starting on pole. it's been pretty cold weekend today with lewis and it's really really happy to get a good luck but be able. but how milton who still remains favored to win on sunday appeared confident that bites about 3 did the job but it is a little race tomorrow so put a great crowd here so thick and it's. a win for hamilton would give him a record 6th british grand prix fixe 3.
