that is the way it stayed, especially as hamburg missed their best chances in the dying minutes. the leagueves looking like this at the moment. at the top, no surprises, munich is sitting pretty. to maintaink pressure on the all conquering the variance. -- both variance. we see hanover continue to slide ominously down the table. nuremberg finished another match day pointless. corona has moved to the top of the division with a 3-1 win over saint pauli. they went up 2-0 shortly before halftime. down toward kick the final ripple, janik wrapped up an impressive away win.

to the biathlon world cup now where the new season began like the last one ended with a certain frenchmen dominating the course. have a look. he left the conversation trailing once again, having already won an individual 20 kilometer race this week. he grabbed first in the 10 kilometer sprint on saturday. he missed one target but took the resulting penalty in stride. today, it was all action from the beginning to the end. >> with frederick reefing down -- breathing down his neck, he finished 6.5 seconds behind. he ignored to his rivals impressive performance.

germany's runner finished fifth. hurts, butout always i did complete 90% of the shooting. there is no reason to panic just yet. >> his fellow german finished seventh. both hit the benchmark for olympic qualification. -- before we go, nazi germanyscaped to become a pioneer in spatial installations. now her first installation is taking place in her birthplace of hamburg. the jewish sculptor nazifrom nancy germany --

germany. she became famous for innovative structures made of wire. installing as retrospective of her work. is very well-known in latin america, but here in germany she has, up until now, .ad only one small exhibition we are showing her work spanning 40 years. >> the exhibition, titled, about 150jects," has sculptures. although goldschmidt never returned to her birthplace of hamburg, the city continued to influence her work. she considers herself in a swale and rather than german. but there are signet -- considers herself venezuelan, rather than german, but there

are significant german influences in her work. >> she studied architecture from 1932-1938. she experimented with lines, mass and volume. she went on to inspire an entire generation of artists. >> that was the journal, thanks for watching. >> no permit, no passing. this is the border state of yuma. the capital of washington, d.c. is far away. mexico is only a stones throw away. that makes the border agent part of a bitter political battle in the u.s., and that is the reason i am here. , i will be inll

the area. >> there was only one fence in this town. whoever made it over the fence quickly found shelter. >> in 2004, we were getting what we called banzai runs in this particular area. sometimes 500, 40, or 60 people at one time would over theher and come fence. once we put the secondary fence up, that stopped. >> billions of dollars have been spent to completely seal off the border. but hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossings take place each year despite all the investments. the border agents often hunt the immigrants down for days in the desert. prettyle scenario hit close to home.

after all, he is the son of mexican immigrants himself, although they arrived legally, and his compassion largely depends on what he finds in the illegals criminal records. >> for a person that has no criminal history, that is perhaps coming here to work, that has been out in the desert walking for a day or two and is , isibly hungry and thirsty am a compassionate human being just like anybody else's and would share my water, maybe even share a sandwich. >> time to go back to headquarters. to show me older recordings from the security cameras. on the road, i realize why so many immigrants don't make it far in this part of the country. there is nothing the desert. >> 80%-90% of the time, the entries we have been able to detect we have been able to apprehend.

rate, butbig success some people will say border security is not until you get 100%. >> absolute border security. that is what i have heard many republican politicians demand. without that, they say no reform and no right to stay for the 11.7 million undocumented immigrants in the country. he has a video on his computer produced by the border police themselves. it shows the same place we visited before, eight years ago. whites outnumbered. -- infrastructure >> outnumbered. the infrastructure is run down. >> or some americans, these are all criminals who want to steal their jobs. that is why the republican party can score points with its tough stance on immigration, at least

among conservatives. but is a border fence really the solution to the problems? he is careful with his answer. >> i mean, is there ever a day achieveare going to 100% apprehension? to apprehend all of the money going to mexico, apprehend all of the guns going to mexico? will we ever achieve 100%? i don't think we will. >> on the road from yuma to phoenix, many undocumented immigrants make the same trip i am taking, but they often do not have a car or enough water. hundreds of them die on those trips. those who make it often come here, phoenix, a city with the latino population of over 40%. latinos are the fastest growing community in the u.s., and that

makes him an important political factor. maria came from mexico in 1989, and she is still undocumented. ever catchorities her, she could be deported. change withat to the help of promise arizona, an organization that fights for political reform. its newest project, 11 children of immigrants will go to washington, d.c. maria will escort her two granddaughters, who are part of the trip. legal residency is not required for u.s. flights. >> the best thing that could happen is that we get support for reform. we would be very happy, in fact.

>> in a room next door, the kids are preparing for questions from the media and politicians. her 11-year-old granddaughter is obviously nervous. >> i was born in phoenix. prepared much and her coach has her work cut out for her. but many of the older children in the group know that this is no game. their families could be torn apart at any time. the problem is always the same. the children were born here and are automatically citizens, but their parents or grandparents immigrated illegally and have no right to stay and work. nor can they leave to see their families back home. >> i am sure that is probably why, because she could not get a license. >> she helps the children put their experience into work --

words. the message is supposed to be loud and clear. toit is important for them know that they do have a story. you basically want to give the problem of face. >> it can be tricky, especially when the cell phone is more important than the questionnaire. her older granddaughter is not making a lot of progress, and i am getting on her nerves. >> i will talk about my family history and how long they have been living here for. they said they wanted a better life. >> janie is describing the american dream. to fight for it, she, her sister, and her grandma are

going to a place where many have gone before her with success, washington, d.c. the civilans of rights movement have come to support the roughly 200 demonstrators. now they are off to the capital, the heart of american politics. >> happy birthday to you. >> she is singing a song for john boehner, the speaker of the house of representatives. john boehner is a republican, and he is not allowing a vote on a comprehensive reform bill. that is why the voters want to confront him in his office. for her, it is a big moment. >> so many emotions. we have come from phoenix, arizona, to make the house of representatives finally vote on immigration reform. were the 11 million people that

from theirration families. i am very proud that so many americans have come here to participate. si, se puedes. in english, it means yes, we can, obama's election campaign slogan. big factorvote was a in his election and reelection. so far, that has not paid off for the community. this is one last desperate attempt. about 150 children have gathered in the congressional building from all parts of the u.s. hundreds of people in narrow corridors right in front of john boehner's office. the pressure on republicans is huge. the majority of americans are on the side of the immigrants. the republican

party, many believe that politicians need more support from latinos to stay relevant. when she and her friend knock, there is no answer. least there is a plan b. many children have written cards asking the politicians for help. maria is waiting at the back of the line. she sees that john boehner has a heart for undocumented immigrants. >> we hope he has one. he is human just like we are. hopefully he has a heart. after this, the activists go their separate ways and tried to meet up with other politicians. visit from the friendly representative from their home state. is a democrat who supports the proposed immigration reform.

hehout the latino vote, probably would not have much of a chance in his district in phoenix. first he chats with the kids about food in school back on. then he asks -- is asked the all-important question. does he think immigration reforms still has a chance despite house republicans blocking a vote? >> i still think we have a time, even though it is a short time. we still have a window to do it. >> he seems slightly optimistic. pep talk, because republican opposition is just too strong, at least for now. but joanna does not want to be brought down. the effort is supposed to pay off. >> you cannot put yourself in that negative plays. hope.es me more i think we still have time. i feel hope.

onto the nextmove politician. immigration reform will come say toe in the future, i myself, because this family is no longer
