i have been talkin: accra one and has more.to villagers -- the _ accra one and has more. i have been talking to villagers -- the fire - accra one and has more. i have been talking to villagers -- the fire in - talking to villagers —— the fire in wennington. i have been to a hotel and a pubjust wennington. i have been to a hotel and a pub just outside the village, and a pub just outside the village, and what they are telling me as they fear that as many as eight homes have been destroyed and they are very worried about the church. as you say, very genetic footage of buildings engulfed in these claims, and as far as we know, —— very dramatic footage of buildings engulfed in these claims. there was one woman i spoke to at the pub who said her uncle had been trapped for a while, he has been building trenches to keep the flames away from his house, but she said that the police have gone into get him, but she was worried about him. there are a number of residents here worried about their pets and post where i am are a couple of farms

so, to get started, i'm heading away from accra and heading to a rural community along the coast.e a lot of my family were born and it is where my gran still lives today. if i am exploring the british empire and how it has affected ghana, i in the sense and write in the middle of that story. i've got the british lied to me and i've got the ghanaian side to me so what better way to tour the ghanaian side of me than to meet one of my family members who was around about time but also who i directly come from? it's weird because i have not seen her in the flesh since i was a little kid and now, i am a full—grown person, so i'm really excited. i'm really excited. hello, grandma. hello. i will be chatting to my grandma with the help of a translator and first, she wants to know about myjob. i work for the bbc as a journalist and i present a tv programme. i'm still quite young, so i'm not thinking about marriage. so, when you were younger, what were the attitudes from people in ghana towards the british? did people like being ruled under them? or were people sort of resentful against them

i've made the 3,000 mile journey to accra, the capital of ghana, somewhere i've not been since i wasknow what? it feels so... it feels comforting because i'm seeing people that look like me, that talk like my family and i'm seeing just, like, loads of people on the roadsides, selling, it's vibrant. but, ultimately, the goal is finding out what the british empire was all about. as i travel through accra, i don't have to look far before seeing a physical reminder of the legacy of empire. right here is this, the freedom and justice arch, and it was built as a massive celebration for the ghanaians to remind them of their independence from the british empire. so, when it comes to my personal knowledge of the british empire, i know as much as i was taught in school. i know that we had an empire, it ruled countries all around the world but, growing up, it was sort of told to me as something to be celebrated. i want to know whether the empire is something to be proud of and what living under the empire was like for everyday ghanaian people, like my own family. so, to get started, i'm heading

but all the while knowing that he wanted to go back to accra, to have his own brand.yan ansah, and ryan said that he remembers his father's work being that piece that will get you noticed at a party, that it would be unforgettable. of course that meant you could probably only wear the thing once, it was unforgettable. he was renowned as the enfant terrible of ghanaian fashion, wasn't he? why was that? i think because he wasn't frightened of doing the unusual and pushing boundaries. i love this piece in kente, but of course, it wasn't the thing to do to tailor kente when he was working. he is seen as one of the first people to tailor and cut and make a garment from kente. traditionally, it would have been wrapped. in this period, it would have been wrapped. the other thing that i love is that apparently he made a pair ofjeans in kente which must have been scandalous then, because you're not supposed to do it. kente, originally, it's the fabric the aristocracy. the fabric of the aristocracy. the significance of cloth in many african countries is the focus of a particula

we heard colonel accra testified that it was no joy training from operation lone star in any of these counties. that is absolute negligence. the report does something that is fundamentally obvious here. every agency there should have done better, including dps, including dps. unfortunately, we have not had dps look in the mirror and criticize themselves. it's just been a whole lot of finger pointing and innuendo. >> but parents are very upset. you've heard there frustrations and anger. there's no report that's gonna change that. here's a father whose son attends robb elementary. let's listen to what he has to say. >> cowards. simple, they're all cowards. there is no way around it. you can ask a three year old and they will ask you, dad, i thought that's what their job was? to protect and serve? they were crying for them. you know? >> senator, what is accountability look like for the uvalde community? >> certainly the mayor just began to ask for this investigation. i do think that we are beyond investigations. we have got to look for restraining and re-incorporating a new policing syst

i'm, it interests is life for us that the summit in accra as i mentioned there, i made plenty on agenda. are we expecting any progress to be made there? ah, well, basically on 2 fronts, we sources close to the meeting. by the way, the leaders are still locked up in a meeting in this particular room behind me. we saw as close to that meeting are saying that they've been some progress met in terms of trade and covers. basically one of the sticking points for a very long time has been the opposite corner door, a trait corridor used by several west african countries. and the complaints by truckers along that route is that there's been so much levy so much taxes on that that the leaders are appointed a committee that dealt with that issue. and we understand that some progress has been met. equally. the issue of politics, the return to democracy in various west african countries, 3 west african countries in particular, motley, burkina, faso, and guinea. we are hearing that big could be some possible breakthroughs with molly surprisingly, and broken out and, and broken fossils. the biggest pro

in april, dhs accra terry mayorkas told this committee in sworn testimony that the southern border is secure. this, of course, it was untrue. we later discovered, while he was testify, the border wasn't secure. the cbp was encountering the highest monthly number of illegal migrants in our history. 234,000 in a single month. and addition, under his orders and policies, more than half of them were deliberately trapped into the united states. that's the equivalent of adding a population the size of lansing, michigan in a single month. it's no surprise that the border chaos continued in may, setting a new monthly record after the encounters, i 239,000. already, in just 18 months, this administration has allowed into the united states, through border releases and invasions, and a legal population the size of the state of west virginia. mayorkas couldt ll us how it will benefit the american people to have -- non english speaking students, emergency rooms flooded with illegal is demanding basic cares, how their family will be safer with increased gang activity and -- inundating our communiti
