clock around the country to call for an end to try the trump administration's immigration policies 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

gulf coast tropical storm barry is a slow moving system but with the potential to deliver record rainfall and flooding across the region officials there hope the improved levees will hold their own against rising water levels. for those living in the path of gigantic storms it's a familiar routine filling sandbags these residents who live near new orleans not far from the mississippi river are planning for the worst even as they hope for the best drought on the verge of where we make blood again so. i'm not looking for deer but the main target is just praying that. it won't be as bad as they're forecasting as far as the river river flood stage i just hope my mom and i grow more safe if where we are doing this today. the view from space shows barry's potential danger the ill defined cloud bands hold an immense amount of moisture picked up as the system formed over the gulf of mexico as the storm advances slowly inland the state

of louisiana and mississippi face the possibility of days of relentless rain. i ask everyone to stay vigilant. and be safe. this is always been projected to be a rain flooded and it will be new orleans no stranger to devastating flooding is again in the crosshairs much of the city is below sea level and human development has damaged the areas where it lands which provide natural flood defense artificial defenses have been upgraded since hurricane katrina dealt the city i'm near death blow in 2005 now storm surge and rising river levels from tropical storm barry may put those measures to the test. and joining us now from new orleans is dubious correspondent helena humphrey helena barry it was a hurricane and it's now weakened to a tropical storm but how big of a threat is that still pose to the region where it's made landfall. make no mistake my it is still very much a threat meteorologists say it is normal for

a storm to be downgraded once it hit land once it hits land because then it is not over the water where it sucks its energy ops if it is rather normal but at the same time of course the warre with barry has always been the water in a flood plain prone area where we are now for example in new orleans we're worried about that long slow epic drench all 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 all orcas 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 the 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 there does remain a great deal of public mistrust i spoke to some people this morning who said that

they know if 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 basin some people just take matters into their own hands they are the sandbags up their house or they just choose to leave although there was no show in force evacuation due to the fact that this was a hurricane category one and not normally happens with category 3. and helena humphrey for us in new orleans thank you so much and please stay safe and now we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of the sudanese capital khartoum and other cities to mark 40 days some security forces killed dozens of demonstrators on the 3rd of june men in military uniforms opened fire on a protest camp outside army headquarters. and unknown assailant fired

immediately claimed responsibility for the attack it's the deadliest terror related incident in the area since the extremist organization was forced out of the city in 2012 those killed include a local politician the canyons americans and to person a prominent canadian somali journalist and her husband have also been named as a monks that people around the world have paid tributes to 46 year old hard on in my life welcome to not push back their take i am at it they had my people i that is joining that the local power manage the mother of 2 grew up in canada and was well known for her work within the somali community there she was described as a beacon of hope and someone who maintained her somali integrity. the african union has condemned the attack saying the incident and. real progress in somalia as the

country rebuilds and consolidates against lead on peace and security. and for the very latest we're joined now by journalist abilities below he's on the line from somalia's capital mogadishu thank you so much for joining us what was al-shabaab trying to achieve with this attack and why now. when according to media reports that we received in the militant group main message was. still existing and that despite media reports by u.s. africa command on the somali government and its security partners here that the tugging on the part of the group's message was that yes he is still around and we can strike at. any time so this list attack was kind of a surprise attack because nobody expected the militant group al-shabaab which is kind of attacking the patrizio to smile we have seen such kind of deadly attacks and hotel siege but a couple times

a day mogadishu where many people but this is the 1st time that a similar type of peace nature has taken place in case my own the exact target for the militant group this time was a hotel that is mostly frequented by the day and legislative plan as it's so their main objective was to kill as many people as possible so that elections that are due slated for next month can be compromised and the government might be able to rethink and try to look one of the venue with all these elections are immediately postponed these elections so this sort of school is the one that is affecting us or what they want to call. it really so that the government. the regional manager rather than the government invoked additional restarted under think about that election can take place there of course al-shabaab coming out to say we're still here implies that they've gone away is there a sense now that they are gaining strength in the region again. well in recent months the particular case my and its surrounding so there's been an increase in

strikes mainly by the u.s. africa command at the market been very effective in the sense that they've managed to country militant groups for a couple of months now the general. strike near the ponce egypt is my absolute top 50 kilometers north of peace my killed almost 73 militants were killed a big shock to the militant group on this is one of the we don't. think that prompted the group to try to we did not. because they have not been able to do any kind of attack there for the last 6 years so these proves that the regional administration has been able to contain the threats that are caused by the group but raises serious concerns in the sense that even the targets were wearing police uniforms or regional college to put to task to explain how the militants of the uniform before want to cut a brazen attack in the center of the city abilities below speaking to us from mogadishu thank you so much to tennis now and some other hala has defeated serena
