so they can't not yet. now this is fanning the flames and the volatile election year. donald trump is blaming president by for losing control of the border. but this border crisis is bordering on the constitutional crisis. tonight, texas are washington fears border is it to protect any way i break off? this is the day, the president who border policies are 8. this break button is actively aided and abetted the importation of millions of millions of illegal alley of migrants. we can fight about fixing the border or we can fix it. everybody knows the president has authority to do something, then he won't. and i cannot understand why he was i think it's the right policy for the state of texas. we have to have

a secure board and into migraines in a subject and discriminatory also coming up massive airstrikes, have russia ordering evacuations and it's built around region near ukraine. president thornton is threatening retaliation. it was loud. the glass was ringing. all the doors were shaking. after the last and the loudest bang, we understood that it was somewhere nearby. and of course we kind of respond in the same way. but regarding civilian infrastructure and all the other objects that the and the me a tech support, i'm giving you a list of the we'll do our viewers watching on tv as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with a legal showdown between the state of texas and the us federal government, whose job is it to patrol to protect americans southern order on tuesday, a high noon on the us supreme court. it's texas police for now can continue

arresting people called entering the border from mexico illegally and just hours later and the appeals court said not so fast. hearings will be held next week on the. busy all that is part of a power tug of war between the lone star state and the federal government in washington. take a list. i think it passes constitutional muster. i think it's the right policy for the state of texas. we have to have a secure board. and that's not just a republican, you know, i deal that is, that is independence by swing voters, as even some democrats who want to secure motors. i would expect the court ultimately to strike the lot down. it's extraordinary because it directly interferes with international law and federal determinations of who has the right to remain in the u. s. last year and texas governor greg abbott began sending buses full of migrants to other cities in states across the us. suddenly,

there were tens of thousands of people standing on the doorsteps and cities such as new york, san francisco, and denver colorado, the w, as benjamin alvarez group or has more than an hour from the mile high city, is located far from the us selves in boulder. denver was not directly impacted by a regular migration until a political decision. change that in may of 2023, the governor of texas correct abbot announced that he would start busing migrants to denver in the 5th city. that he's been targeted to raise awareness about the immigration problem to texas is facing. as a result, tens of thousands of migrants arrives in colorado is capital city official said that in the policy of denver received low my van's per capita than any other major city outside texas. many migrants ended up in and compliments on the street. seeing the desperate situation. andrea got involved. the mother of 3 started a facebook group called highland moms and neighbors that are attracted more than 7000 volunteers to help migrants like here in

a denver church that houses migrants. andrea would like to see government and nonprofits with better resources and more experience doing the job they are expected to do. the problem is that because our immigration system doesn't work and there's no plan. so they're opening the door to thousands and thousands and thousands of people who genuinely need help and who want to work and just not be dependent on anyone. they're not looking for handouts. i have to like force coats and choose some people. they won't work. they don't want, they weren't able to pay for their own stuff. i see this a lot, and i mean it not disrespectfully, but on, honestly like whoever is in charge of immigration policy in this country. it's a step aside. maybe we'll have a snack, cleaner room and let the moms do it. like we 48 hours and this could be fixed. denver has been more than $36000000.00, helping migrants. residents, a neighboring lake would say that's too much. recently, hundreds of them gathered for

a town hall meeting to raise concerns about over whelmed hospitals and infrastructure. the concern is that all of the neighboring municipalities were approached to help with the situation in denver. they want us all of us to take a role in housing and feeding and services and that people are reluctant to get engaged here, particularly when the city and when, when the government really is not asking how you feel about this, this needs to have public discussion and that had not happened. denver may have mike johnston's office did not respond to interview requests. in february, the may announced temporary cards to some city services to fund the immigration response, a decision that increased the already existing tensions. now that conversation i'm, that dynamic has created us versus them in denver,

where prior to that i didn't hear that. prior to that i had tons of people wanting to help and stepping into that space of feeling the gap were government couldn't. now that some of our wrecks recreation centers are closing, have limited hours, and our motor vehicle centers have limited hours. yes, now i'm hearing like, well, what about us many via this increasingly politicized conversation with an upcoming presidential election. and a radicalized disclose of migration in the united states will only get more heated, pushing a fat many tearing solution the route of reach. or more on this male i'm joined by andrew sealy. he's president of the migration policy institute in washington, dc for facilities. could they have you with this? let's just start by talking about the numbers to meet with you. i understand that was about 4 times as many migrants encountered at the border. now, then we saw it during the trump and obama presidencies. do we have clarity on why

that is? so we told the numbers go up. actually the 2018 that has been going pretty steadily but cove. it brought them down for a bit and we reach they, they got about a 1000000 under trump in one year and they got to 2 and a half 1000000. quotes the 2 and a half 1000000 encounters last year at the border. and there are several things going on. i mean, you know, one is the us economy came roaring back out of cobit and there's a lot of jobs to be taken. neighbor grants are, are headed, migrants are headed to the us, take those jobs. another is, it's suddenly possible to get through the deer and gap. this area between columbia and panama, which has been, you know, was a natural barrier to people crossing it. now there are guides that take people through. there's a whole infrastructure built out. and finally, you know, as the numbers go up, the us border authority just become overwhelmed and what they end up doing is releasing those be into the us. yep. and you know, for the very, for a long time, you as president by refused to call with a crisis at the border that drew

a lot of criticism from republicans. how has by done in your opinion on that it's addressing or solving the problem at the border or has he failed to manage the opportunity that is offered by an influx of language? you know, i think they have, it took a long time for the, by the ministration. understand, and then if you lose control of the border, 1st of all it becomes self reinforcing. right? the, there aren't, the resources tend to be patients about the stays. who gets in the file and gets return, you know, and then you it by default have to let people in. and it took, and they took that by the ministration a long time to understand that this was going to undermine the conversation about immigration in our country. and, and really is coming to a negative place. and part of that is just the border, you know, so that it may be also on donald trump and, and what he says, but some of its on job id and not getting control of this. but, but i actually do think the administration is price and makes a big step in the past few months. they're doing some sensible things. and let's

hope they, you know, they do get some relative control on the know. what do you make of this stand off? we're seeing now between texas and the us federal government. i mean, the supreme court, you know, issued a ruling yesterday just a few hours later in the appeals court said no, we're not going to be doing that at least not for now. i mean, what you read on there, but what it tells you is that you know, the law on immigration is immensely complicated. who has what competencies, what authorities is constantly debated and the ports are a big factor in this. and so every time the by the administration thinks about what they're going to do, they have to think about the legal implications that about defending it in court. same thing if the administration texas wants to do something and it creates dissipates, an opening for smugglers, frankly as well, because they see the constant changing last the border, the constantly changing prophecies of the border because over to intervene in and they still live at to, to migrants telling them that it's a good time to go, or this is the moment because there is

a lot of chaos in the policy. in mexico has now said that it will not accept deportations from tex and officials that are carried out based on this controversial law. this texas law, the mexican president, lopez over dor today said that the texas law is anti immigrant. he said as anti mexican, now, is he endorsing the exodus of his own people from his own countrymen? how do you read the message that smell, coming from the other side of the board? yeah, i think it's their case. what they want is to be able to deal with $11.00 voice of the us government. they don't want to every state having a different policy about who gets reported because for them that becomes chaotic, right? they have to manage multiple relationships. and so they're, what they're saying is, you know, us, government, you know, governments in the us think, what do you think governments get your act together? you know, we want one deportation process through the federal government and we'll take people back to that. but we don't want, you know, individual states making their own laws,

and then we have to respond to each of those. the fact that the united states has just not been able to reform emigration while now for, for, for decades. of it, i mean, it's a mess, right? is that a magnet, or is it a magnet for mine? it's a huge met. i mean, the biggest magnet is that you have, you know, 8 to 10000000 jobs open every month of the united states. and there are very few, you know, people, pathways for people to talk right at the end of the legal pathways that exists. the visa is that exists that allow people to come to the us to, to work. we're setting 1919 west side. we do the major change the immigration system, and here we are 34 years later, you know, with a different academy, a much tighter labor market. and there's no ability to draw so that, that's the big business right? is, is that simply there is no way to, for people to come in legally and their jobs waiting for them. but the other is, you know, we haven't resource the border authorities. i mean, you get, they get a little, they do more resources than they did a few years ago, but nothing commensurate with the, you know, doubling crippling,

but dribbling of the number of people come to the border. so you pick for the asylum system and you know, some of the rules on asylum probably need to be revisited with the numbers of people we're seeing as well. and then we've done a presidential election coming up in, in november. if you look at the u. s. economy, you know, despite the inflation of employment, pretty strong, the one issue that is getting a lot of attention is, is the crisis at the border and that seems to be in trumps saber. at the moment. let me give us your forecast. is this an issue that could make or break a presidential bid come november? i think it could be, oh, although both candidates have a weak spot here. i mean, there was a wall street journal all that came out recently and it tells us the same thing. the gallup poll does, which is that most americans are pro immigration. they actually think immigration is good for the country. they've been that they know that we need immigration for

labor market needs, but they don't like the cas supporter. they don't like the fact that the people can just walk across the border and be allowed in because us government can't process them. if so, you know, fighting and it has a real vulnerability because he's the one responsible in people's lives for the cap to the border. but trump also as a risk here because donald trump occasionally over play well off at over places and on his issue. and in some of the, the rhetoric that he uses around immigrants also turn off the other side of americans. we do appreciate that immigration support. yeah. yeah. yeah. and as we all know, a lot can happen between now and november, especially in the us presidential politics. and traditionally president of the migration policy institute. and we appreciate your time and your analysis and i thank you right to be with you. thank you. all right, georgia now where the governor of the belgrade region of the border to ukraine says that 2 people were killed in airstrikes on wednesday. the abroad is increasingly been targeted by shilling with anti kremlin russian fighters leave to be operating

in the border zone. russian authorities now say that they are moving forward with plans to evacuate children and that they plan to scale up security in the area. this kindergarten in belgrade is one of many buildings damaged and showing. as the kindergarten principal witnessed the blast firsthand, it was loud. the glass was ringing, all the doors were shaking after the last and the loudest bang. we understood that it was somewhere nearby. we didn't even suspect that it wasn't our place. we thought it was close, but not at our place. then when everything come down, we saw the aftermath. no children were injured. but in another part of belgrade, a man was killed when shrapnel from the showing hit. his car rushes military since the attack is aimed at the stabilizing the country after its recent election. can

use the cause, we kind of respond to the same way you can buy for guarding civilian infrastructure and all the other objects. you know the enemy attacks are we have our own views on this matter and our own plans, we will fall like what we have outlined. so far west has plans include restricting entry to nearby cities in the belgrade region and evacuating around $1200.00 children. but with the war and ukraine now, in russia's doorstep, the border region is feeling the effect and the source of enemy fire is getting harder to detect. ever more i'm going to bring in military and what is marina barone from kings college? it's good to see you, marina, it's as we know, very difficult to obtain independent and verified information from this border region. what are you hearing about the situation there a good evening brand? well indeed, it's very difficult because there are a lot of video circulating on what's happening with these cross border attacks. from the russian side, they're saying that most of the effects happen repelled from the ukranian side.

it's a completely different fixtures, and we have um, telegram channels by the respective volunteer groups um, which are posting the forces in, in, in, in russia. so i'm crossing the border was ukraine allegedly um, it's difficult to verify. it seems like the situation because the situation was on sunday during the last day of the presidential elections in russia. it seems to be combing down, but perhaps we're going to see more activities because i think that in some regions the, these volunteer for us is still in russia. and we're seeing that also by what the ministry of defense in russia is doing. they, namely evacuation of the south region. yeah, the fact that russian authorities are now evacuating people from belgrade. does that mean that they consider the ukrainian attacks to be more dangerous or more

serious than before? i think both sides gambled on these attacks in a sense and the board, the region wasn't very well protected despite the fact that the russian side has been complaining about bell board showings for a long time. now. and last year we have seen some cross border incursions into bell throughout the region, but it wasn't anything spectacular or at least not as spectacular as this year. they are, for, i think that the kremlin was gambling on the fact that they don't need a good protection there. and all the forces that are needed should be fighting. and ukraine ross isn't protecting the board just so the russian border guards was there was a f as b was there. and unfortunately, that was not enough was the russian side. so now they need to take measures and it's not just about the back creation of the board, the region. it's also about the amplification of the scope of the so called special

military operation, namely creation of a buffer zone in ukraine and reminders. again, if, if we're talking about these launching these attacks, they've been described as pro ukrainian anti kremlin paramilitaries who are attacking in belgrade, who are the so in the classical sense, we could say is that these are insurgents being aided buys that ukrainian armed forces. and by the ukranian intelligent, so you have the freedom of russia. so this group, for instance, according to its own statements, recruits from those who abandon the russian armed forces and who joined in the fight against put in. then we have to say be, are in battalions. those are representing minorities in russia, which they argue being repressed by supporting the machine. so the quotes brots would be amongst those minorities, again,

fighting on the side of the ukrainian armed forces. and then we have the, the, um, roland, tier core, the russian volunteer core, which consists of ukrainian for a legion fighters and which is actually a part of those, the ukranian armed forces. so it is very interesting to see um that actually these groups are fighting against put in but they are fighting and some of them are actually embedded into the ukranian armed forces and, and this according to ukrainian sources. and of course, um, the praying and military intelligence is coordinating their actions because we have to understand an insurgent movement cannot succeed without any external support. and they need intelligence. think arms they, they need and munition. and this is exactly what they're getting from the ukrainian side. and we also know that the savior in battalion, for instance, for the on the great inside and of the of car. so i would consider it less than the

classical insurgency, but more as an extended arm of the ukrainian armed forces conducting these attacks . the optics of this course. they don't look good for the russian president, russia saying now that it's going to form 2 new army corps by the end of the year, is, is it really in the position to do that? and given ukraine's current difficulties on the battlefield. i mean, what, what does that going to mean for you? great or? well, i think russia isn't the position to do right now. it wasn't a month ago because we were all waiting for the elections and for the outcome of elections now within doesn't have his hand side anymore in terms of increasing the scope of the war in ukraine. and specifically for that reason, there is a need for more man power. what please, of course in to put his hand and all these cross border attacks, we have to look at it from a different perspective. on the one hand, that shows that there are people who are dissatisfied with the regime and who want

to fight against it. on the other hand, from criminals perspective, these groups are funded by ukraine. they use by ukraine against off for so this is they are conducting terrorist attacks on the rushes territory hands. we need more people to protect all self. and so this fits very nicely into the narrative. and given the fact that such groups, they also need popular support for their cause and which they don't have in russia meet, meaning that they could have an opposite psychological effect from what they're seeking to achieve. that means that if russia is going to expand the scope of its opperation and increase the amount of personnel that doesn't look good for you, craving given the current situation, military analyst of a random, a roll of keys college tonight is always. but really we appreciate your analysis. thank. thank you for having me.

how happy are you? well apparently the fins are very happy and finland has been named the world happy as an agent for a 7th street year and less according to the wins world. happiness report that looks at life satisfaction in a 143 countries in territories across the globe. denmark, sweden, in iceland, also continue to top, the leader board coming in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. but this year there's been a significant slide down the readings for germany and the united states, mainly due to the gloomy outlook of younger people. if you're looking for a good cheer, you'll likely find it here in finland, the world's happiest nation for the 7th year. you'd be forgiven for thinking there must be something in the water, but researchers put it down to fins own life satisfaction as well as social support,

health, life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and g d. p. finish people and most probably are happier because they can rely on a good institution. so meaning, well, function, governments, low level of corruptions and robust, but fear factors that fins have a great depreciation for. well, i think i have, i have had the opportunity to do what i want. i have a good education. i can rise my child in here quite safely. i think so that that is maybe the most important thing for me. right now. we all are for now i will 1st states that we have quite strong equality here. but this

of course, something that, for example, occur in the government, they started to run down. so i think this is something that we would really need to fight to still keep such appreciation may be in shorter supply and the united states and germany, which aren't among the happiest nations ranking, 23rd and 24th, respectively. germany is also one of the countries in which older people are no happier than those under 30 afghanistan. is that the boss and most of the table, a major humanitarian crisis after the taliban regain control model, that goodwill remains universal. and so the report find that in our post cobit world, acts of kindness are on the rise across the generations. giving us all something to smile about. finally, hundreds of c, a muslims in kabul, and celebrated the persian new year. a large crowd gathered at the fucking shrine

to the game capital for the event festival march the 1st day of spring and the beginning of the new year based on the reigning. and so we're calendar and the name of the festival is means new day in farsi and in the kurdish in story like a reason for or the day continues on line. and remember whatever happens between now and then, tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody the,
