and the thousands of migrants are gathering on both sides of the us. southern border as the clock is ticking on a controversial pandemic era, immigration policy. donald trump's title 42 enabled us authorities to quickly expel migraines crossing illegally. no chance to apply for asylum, but also no legal consequences that ends on thursday and well, many wrongfully hope. it will be easier for them to get into the us after tile. 42 is dropped, the white house is about to drastically restrict asylum axis at the mexican border . confusion and chaos is expected, and critics accused the vitamin administration of breaking not only with campaign promises, but also with its international obligations. nicole for ocean berlin and this is the day, the

title 42 is almost over. it will be more difficult for us to cross. so we decided to travel before may. the 11th. the president of the united states is sitting off putting out the welcome walker, linkedin, man, let me be clear, our porter is not open and will not be open after may 11th. oh, we're doing all we can are. the answer is, remains to be seen when most that we can be exposed, we can be deported, or they could just let us in, is going to be chaotic for while also on the day reactions as a jury finds donald trump liable for sexually abusing and defending magazine calling this aging carol. and we all, when that when the jury said yes,

we looked at each other and that was the moment. it was such a wonderful, overwhelming moment. welcome to the show. title 42 was originally implemented as a health policy by former president donald trump, extensively to keep cobit 19 cases out of the country. but since its inception, it was widely perceived as a tool to keep migrants out. title 40 to allow border police to expel migraines. back to mexico without a chance to claim style. and it didn't succeed in keeping the number of crossings down as many who were turned back, try over and over again to get into the us. human rights groups have documented thousands of horrendous, violent attacks on those expelled under title. 42. when running for office, joe biden promised to build a more humane emigration system, but it's time for you to is set to expire. his plans to regulate migration has seen

even members of his own party, accusing him of criminalizing those seeking protection. meanwhile, authorities at places of entry are preparing for a search and arrivals at a time of uncertainty. this is one of the busiest border crossings along the us mexican border in texas. every day, thousands of people press legally for us to that's why it is mexico do it by so in the united states. but the focus of the border agents are the migrants who cross and officials, roughly 7000 migrants. chris every day to and official passed into the united states without documents. border patrol agents estimate that once titled 42 is lifted and all asylum seekers are again, given due process. the number will reach a peak of 10000 or even 12000 migrants per day. they have arrived from venezuela be okay and is injured. he can't walk anymore. the journey was tough lasted more

than 3 months. administrator level, then his way of the columbia, panama costa rica, nicaragua, and doris, guatemala, mexico, all of that, mainly walking. i mean, um, believe i was also put in jail on the mexican side, allow you have to watch out all the time, and there's the risk of being kidnapped, and other things going on. his biggest fear, after surviving the dangerous journey, is to now be ported back to a country where he can live in peace. ma'am, and douglas is not afraid. he is frustrated. he's thinking of turning himself into the next border police facility. the risk is significant unless i am with the defendant, the everything is possible. he, well, he said they can process you and then you have legal status for a year. how come the government that what they could also send you back and read, and then you start from 0 days later. he tells us he's tired. he has been jailed in 2 different countries. he has been beaten up and dropped. he says he has no other

choice now than to risk it to decides to turn himself in. and he's not alone. all these, my grand swear until recently on the mexican side, they were living there under very or conditions until they decided to cross over to the united states. most of them without documents here. and as i saw, the border police has been handing out this fly. you're in spanish, they're telling them that if they crossed over in an, an official way into the united states, they should turn themselves into a board or police facility like the one you can see behind me to start their legal prose. the problem is that they will bring them into the official a process to claim asylum here in the united states. and that is what all of these migrants are hoping for. although title $42.00 will officially be lifted on may 11th. the border police are already processing migrants. many of them were detained for days, then released with temporary documents. and if i put it in my documents,

they say i have to present myself next year 2024 on december 17th in florida, and for the by handing out these permits to state and dates for cart hearings that will take place in other states. texas is trying to prepare for the official listing of title 42. the big problem is that no one really knows how big the influx of immigrants will be. most your total cows in the midst of what is already a migration crisis at the border. carly mentioned while i file that report and joins me now currently. no, good to see you. let's start with the basics. why are so many people arriving as a border ahead of title 40 to being dropped? there is not a logic behind bad nicole. it's more an emotional decision that they are taking 2 weeks ago. that's what people who have shows or is here. we're telling me

a lot of my grand starting arriving here in el paso, a lot of them and i've been talking to them yesterday the day before yesterday. a lot of them don't even know what title 42 is. they haven't been studying what this means for them to enter the united states or not. they just know that some things might change at the border. and on the other side, on the mexican side i've been there many times. the shelters are just pads of people are sleeping up the street. so it's really more for us to you 1st trace and coming out from them and, and the decision that they're taking, it's more an emotional decision. not really a logical one and the decision to come over to the united states even without a papers. mm hm. and it looks like most migrants entering the us from here on out will be denied asylum. can you break down what the bottom administration's policy here is going to be there rolling out this new rule indeed. and this is a rapid expansion of to migrants arriving here. the rule will start at midnight

thursday mid tonight. and this is a pull that is very similar to a rule from the trump era that are required at that migrant seek asylum in another country. now the media is in another country before entering the united states, and before doing so in the united states at this is the same model. very similar. well that's by them is rolling out now. and this is what the civil society is criticizing. because in a way it replaces title 42, it's very similar to the title for you to. it just has a different name and it will start once title $42.00 and mm hm. it's been job. i'm promised during the campaign to handle migration in a more humane way, then has prayed assessor donald trump. but now many criticize as you already pointed outside, his policies look very much like a continuation of trumps. the a, c o u has actually already expressed of intention to suicide. how do people there at the southern border feel about that new approach for the atl you

already suit back then when trump was president and he brought out his transit van that was very similar to the current rules to present by them is bringing out. and so they would probably do that again, and perhaps they will have success again with that. and so the white house is saying that they are still trying to, uh, bring up order and help bring migrants into the united states, but in a legal way. and this is why they started saying that they want to tackle the root causes at the vice president carmella harris is in charge of that actually hasn't been doing that much about it though. and now there are certain centers for migrant stuff. they're building in guatemala and in colombia to help migrant. it's sort of, they don't have to do all the way to the united states to claim asylum. but the claimants, they are in those centers. so they are still saying they're seeking a humane migration policy. but at the same time, they're asking congress to do something and congress is blocked in that sense. now, there are the far right republicans and the concert ready if democrats were trying

to rule out some things. but there's nothing really coming out of that. me, president button has of knowledge that the situation to add the border will probably be chaotic for a while and how are authorities and humanitarian agencies and volunteers preparing for the people arriving as exactly as you remember last week, president biden deployed $1500.00 troops to the border, there are already $2500.00 troops here, so they're a total of $4000.00 troops now along the us mexican border at the same time people and we called them really know what, that's what they're telling me how they should prepare for that because no one really knows what to expect a starting the lifting of title. 42. now there is this new rule, but still there around $100.00. 50000 people over there on the mexican side, waiting to come over. and some already started a couple of days ago or even 2 weeks ago. so no one really knows what number of people are. we will be coming over to el paso in the next phase or even weeks.

barely mentioned more reporting from el paso. thank you. so much but the us is not the only country struggling to find adequate ways to deal with asylum seekers. last year, germany saw a significant increase in the number of refugee arrivals more than 1000000 people fling. the war in ukraine were given shelter here in 2022 and other 250000 people from countries like syria against that in turkey, applied for asylum last year as well. the german federal government has today pledged $1000000000.00 euros and extra cash to help pay the cost involved. local councils have complained their overstretched un, under funded several cities and municipalities in germany are reaching their limits . as high numbers of refugees come to the country. local authorities are finding, get especially difficult to provide for them. for many demons,

the arrivals seem to be turning into a problem. the majority, according to a new poll, said they'd like germany to welcome fewer refugees based marks, a considerable increase compared to previous surveys. pop up guidelines also said they are afraid that so many refugees are coming in berlin. some said that concerns and must see that we still have massive problems with accommodation and other structures. so to say across the board that everyone can come here. we can show that to idaho food on the then we have enough space would have in prosperity. why not share that with people who don't have it? when people sleep, it is always for a reason that people should be helped. i love you and we all have responsibility for this, but then you have to organize everything properly. only around a 3rd of germans think authorities doing enough to provide for refugees. and the vast majority would prefer if they were registered far away. the use external

borders for germany and for its government migration has become again, a big challenge, especially as refugees continue to arrive. adrian carol says she feels fantastic day after a jury found donald trump liable for sexually abusing and defending her former us president has been ordered to pay his victim $5000000.00 in damages. carol had accused trunk of raping her and in new york department store in the 199 these years carol, speaking on abc is good morning america in the wake of the verdict yesterday was probably the happiest to have my life. it was this 5 foot 3 in wylie female attorney, and this elderly, 79 year old advice call on those who are finally holding donald trump libel.

jen, tom joins me from north hampton mattress. there's massachusetts. wow. sometimes it's hard to pronounce. even this is where it's supervisor of law and a friend of eden carols and was present at the civil trial of donald trump. ms. thom, great to have you with us. and how did you react when you heard the verdict? i was a bit in the state of shock because it came in so quickly, less than 3 hours after the judge had given the jury instructions to the jury. and even though i had been at the trial, i felt so emotional. and finally, hearing the verdict was there for the 1st week, but i was at home, you know, reading, reading on twitter like everybody else the outcome. so i am just thrilled for her. and it's the same time um, you know, somewhat worried because even though she was victorious in this case, she did suffer for a long time in silence and is now facing continued defamatory statements by donald

trump, who is continuing to spice. the verdict to call her a liar, so i'm glad she had her day in court. i'm glad that a jury unanimously decided that he had actually abused her and the same to her. but i'm sad that she had to go through all of this. you know, of from the point of view of a legal scholar, why is using the jury found trump liable sexual views but not re. and that's such a great question. and it goes to what the judge's definitions were. that he provided to the jury. and for the definition of race, and i don't know if it was appropriate to stay on television there. but in order for them to have found that they would have touched, had to believe that he had inserted his genitals inside of her. let's just put it that way. and because she said on the stand,

she couldn't actually see. she knew that it had been his fingers that had been very painful. and after that, she thought that the generals had been inserted because there was no way for her to see, given that he was pushing her against the dressing room wall. i think it, it made sense for the jury to on balance come to that conclusion. and quite honestly, it doesn't matter. the point is who's defense was that she was making the whole thing up that he didn't even know her and that it didn't happen. and the jury absolutely absolutely agreed with her and believed her that he had sexually assaulted her. and that the words he used to deny it, saying she was not his type that she was lying in order to sell her book and all of that that, that harm to her. and that's what matters. the aging carol is one of over 2 dozen women publicly accusing the former president of sexual misconduct to expect more

women to press charges. now that they have seen that accountability is, you know, actually an option to i think it really depends. uh, there was some cases that you might remember. i had already settled some reserve. those who had been the contestant on the apprentice had brought a case. and then somehow that settled out of court. and we simply don't know what that entails, whether other people bring a case forward is, is um, it may sound like they, they against this particular person against a former president perhaps. but these cases are extremely costly. they are emotionally draining. and in some cases, this instance, she was able to bring the sexual assault case because new york had extended the statue of limitations created this one year window where adult survivors would be able to bring cases. not every state has an adult survivors act. and so if you were

an adult at the time you were sexually assaulted, not only is there a time bar for a criminal case, but in many states there's a time bar for even bringing a civil case. so that might not be actually a possibility because as you may know, a victims of sexual abuse, i often feel shame off in can't, i can't face up to it is only many years later that they have the strength and the ability to come forward. and sometimes that date is well past. now, when a court will allow a claim that for a long time it seemed like you could throw anything at donald trump and nothing would stick. is this the end of teflon? dawn? absolutely. um the test one is now routing and this is sort of a 2nd slow um the, the, um criminal case against it gets to it has corporations that, that those corporations lost in port in december. there was a fine um i think $1600000.00 fine impose in on this year this january

that would hold the former president libel. um and so you know, the next question will be, is already been an indictment. um, the next question will be, will that be further indictments and will a jury a presented with evidence number of crimes that he might be charged. so he's starting to pay a legal price for things he's done in the past. do you think they'll be a political price for trump to pay after this? it's interesting. he's always paid a legal price out of court, right? he's settled numerous cases. even. um, even cases involving racketeering and so on, but he's never actually, he's never actually conducted by a jury in terms of all political price. i'm just looking to know a lot more after his behavior tonight at the town hall. that's going to be televised by cnn. i'm in the sad story as though that of both his supporters and many republicans who have been asked about this. republican elected officials are

our discounts in the us. they, you know, to some degree, as donald trump said in his deposition, if you're a star, they let you do it in their view. perhaps that a certain kind of man is entitled to whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. and that includes women's bodies. and if they deny him and then or if they complain, will deny it happened or say that they consented. and this is, this is an ideology from the political party also wants to deny women the ability to have, you know, abortions, even through meditation abortions. so i think this kind of fits into the whole male dominance unfortunately have so that there's a here over that 30, i'm sorry, we're running out of time gen tom. great stuff, law professor and commentator. many thanks for your time. thank you. the when democracy dies,

so does free speech. the persecution of independent voices is sadly a tried and tested instrument for oppression of, for authoritarian regimes around the world. activists, intellectuals, opposition politicians and journalists live in fear and under constant attack. area, for example, is one of the world's biggest trailers for porters. independent media have been banned since era tray. i became a dictatorship in 2001. a porters without border is called the country and using information black hole during the crack down journalist writer and poet here going to stay home abroad to was incarcerated and torture. the w 's. maria miller has more of this, the okay saw of this the how that and go but and i little go to now is that many of us to fuss? not something that's how old nobody no are out of the hands of the concept toner has up to that i had to pay attention. i'm kind of in a poem the let to prison and almost death. 14 years ago. every tree

and right you had got emphasis on that, but as to was arrested for her words. she wanted to publish a collection of poems, but the phone of the senses authorities interpreted the driver and the poem as president the size of working. the dictator has ruled the country for more than 3 decades, and is accused of crimes against humanity. how about as the this time tells the driver to drive casserly, because he's carrying people to wear a seat belt and that he's responsible for those in the car. if the driver doesn't have bound does sponsibility, he should let all those drives because hello. so i cannot mechana how my whole life will do. she was taken into custody and interrogated divine. and um they said the problem was about the president. i said it was and then i was beaten until i lost consciousness. i'm out of my head around the torch and never stopped. stuff with

this. so i, you know, she was held in the secret detention side knowles of us, myra and a 2 by 2 meters. so other inmates will help in shipping containers, boiling hot during the day, freezing cold at night. she says there were subjects to regular meetings. one of the heavy to some of the had it up to my whole body was swollen from the 1st injuries from us. that if i didn't think i would survive, it came in less and then that will give but she did. after 6 years in prison, without explanation, she was freed. as soon as she could, she fled the country. mm. but not only her poems gotten into trouble. she also worked as a rated journalist and every tree is capital a smaller um press free. there is no freedom of the price and every trail. i'm not private newspapers have been shut down and there is only one state media that says propaganda. we're going to forget every tree it is one of the world's biggest dangers of report has done this stuff either fled the country on present utica

island now lives and works in germany, touring the country, reading the po, and she wrote in prison. people a keen to learn about a country that holds the citizens captive incarcerated. so it's janice, now as of right and so she helps her work can help make people understand the reality and every trip up to that i will hold them at the hot after the i want to go to every try a one day that is where i don't to mention my memories when i was young. i left go with victims pass out and did not think you could be punished for your fluids. the sun that's cause the city in back of cargo, you deputy in germany, but for now she doesn't see a future for herself in the world's most sense. that country that was not only reporting from authoritarian countries that requires courage every day,

a porter's camera, operators, producers and fixers take great risk to show us the truth about war and conflict. the death of our months old in serves as a heartbreaking reminder of this. the french journalist was killed by showing near the saves ukrainian city of boston, moved from where he was reporting for the. the news agency sold him is the 11th journalist or person working for the media to be killed during the conflict. french prosecutors have launched a war crimes investigation into his staff a 3rd time, but we'll be back tomorrow with more for now from the entire team on the day. thank you so much for spending parts of your day with us. the
