but we just saw president trump escort the north korean leader back up to the border and across the border as kim jong un returning home, president trump then walking south with the south korean president, back into the same building where trump and kim had met for those

so far 74% of the border patrol apprehensions across the southern border of people coming from guatemala, honduras and el salvador. if you talk to the border patrol chief he will tell you people from 140 countries came across the southern border with mexico into the united states. that's because the realistic -- realized if you can fly you can make your way up to the united states. the individuals illegally entering the country were overwhelmingly unaccompanied children between three don't have the facilities, resources or thfor theresources or the lel authorities we need to making the state of texas and the communities hardest hit. we are ground zero for this crisis. as i said, this is equally fit into an all-out humanitarian crisis on the border for law-enforcement officials, city leaders, nongovernmental organizations, everyone that wants to treat the migrants compassionately and appropriately they are completely overwhelmed by the people entering. the country. we need to get to work on short term and long term solution. and for those that are trying to manage the crisis of care for t

president trump accepted that n invisitation, stitched across the border and then shortly thereafter jong un stepped across the border to south korea. president trump just told reporters that he and kim are now going to have a more private conversation. this is the moment a few moments ago when president trump took those fateful steps across the border, that line he's about to step across here, that is the border itself. and you can see kim jong un approaching from the north there to welcome him. the words he spoke to the u.s. president as he did cross were, you're going to be the first u.s. president to cross, and indeed he was. this is the moment, as they shook hands there. >> good to see you again. i never expected to see you at this place. step forward. are you the first u.s. president to cross. >> good to see you again. i never expected to see you in this place. those were kim jong un's words to donald trump as he walked across the border there and spent, well, a few seconds, perhaps a minute or two in north korea, as he made history as the first u.s. president to cross there. ju

border. we are on track this year to have more than 1 million people come across our border, and for the first time ever the vast majority are families that are bringing children with them to exploit what we understand are loopholes in our asylum laws. i mean, if people come across our border, make a climb of asylum, we can detain them for only 20 day, and then they're released into the united states. the truth is 90% of those claims are denied. and the vast majority never show up for their hearing, you know, a year, 18 months down the road. so the president is doing his job. we both took an oath to faithfully execute the laws of this country. he set into motion an internal enforcement effort to remove people who have been given due process of law, who have been adjudicated through a court order, ordered to be deported, but the president talking with speaker pelosi and other democrats made the decision to delay two weeks and to call on the congress once again to close if loopholes that human traffickers are using. >> brennan: is that going to happen in two weeks? do you expect congress to pass

border. that was first -- that phrase was first coined in 2014 by president barack obama, who called the surge of migration across the border a humanitarian and security crisis and it's gotten worse, unfortunately, due to a confluence of circumstances. 140,000 people were detained at the southern border. what's so different, people are simply turning themselves in, because frankly, the chi ooyote have figured out american law and realize if you bring unaccompanied children or send unaccompanied children or bring families, they will successfully navigate our immigration laws and end up being able to stay in the united states because they've simply overwhelmed our capacity to deal with the issue. i wouldn't be surprised until some of the more recent developments we've seen for that number to get bigger. third month in a row that the number of individuals who came across the border were six figures and it's a trend we haven't experienced since 2006 when the yearly total topped more than a million. there's essentially no net migration from mexico. primarily a central american phenomenon. the real grand valley border

to vote for it because it is not going to stem the tide and the overwhelming numbers coming across the border. the money that will be used here is not for enforcement, not barriers, it is not for extra beds for detention. it is going to just facilitate quicker releases and i don't think it will do anything to disincentive eyes illegal classroom coming across in the numbers we have already seen, 144,000 last month alone and we've got to do something to stem the tide of these people that are just crashing across the border and overwhelming our system. the chances of this thing being

border. but when these trucks can't make their way across the border on a timely basis, then that means the parts -- the manufacturing process fall apart and -- in the border economies. i would argue the larger economy in the united states is threatened when just in time inventory control no longer works. so if you're living in detroit, michigan, and you're expecting the delivery of a part coming from mexico will make its way to michigan in time to build a car, you can't do it, and eventually this is going to damage our economy and kill jobs. so i'd like to reiterate in conclusion, mr. president, the humane act is bipartisan, it's bicameral, and it would provide real relief for folks in texas and other border states who are struggling to manage the crisis. and most importantly, it would be a much more humane way to treat these children and families who are flooding across our southern border. i know most of our congressional democratic friends have adopted the posture of reflexively standing against the president on anything and everything that he asks for rather than standing for policies that w

that is when you get the dangerous trip or the situation at the border, more than a million people estimated to be coming across the border illegally this year. some of them will be declaring asylum. many of them are not eligible for asylum. for those that are, we want the judges and resources to be available when they gete. that is not happening and the house bill does not provide additional resources for tha kind of asylum request for the judges for the military. only the humanitarian aid and we need more than that for this crisis at the border. host: what is your reaction to the news the head of customs and border patrol resigned, leaving as the border is in crisis? what is your reaction? guest: it is in crisis d has been in crisis. the failure of speaker pelosi and the house of representatives to address this crisis is something we can correct if we take up the senate bill. host: how about this part of it that talks about john sanders. he sent his resignation to the acting homeland security secretary, did not give a specific reason, but people familiar said he had been overwhelmed by thecaca of the crisis a

because of the sheer scale of population movements between the drc and its neighbors, we need across borderases would be only a matter of time. uganda also deserves significant credit with this particular situation and working hard throughout this outbreak, with the help of cdc experts and others come to monitor border crossings and enhance preparedness. i got a chance to thank uganda's health minister last month when i attended a meeting in geneva. i was encouraged by health ministers and who's leadership that recognized the threats we faced and understood this outbreak is not under control. i was extremely pleased that the who's director general was highly engaged on this issue, understood the need for a more conference of response, and had begun to lay the groundwork for future action. i am a full for his leadership where he has their work on infectious threats. and closely tracked this outbreak i will highlight the challenges we face at some of the efforts we have undertaken, with derecho, -- wh o, drc, and other nations. one troubling situation is the curate he situation, which include

president trump announces escalating tariffs on mexico, trying to stop the flow of migrants across the border, but what will that mean for the u.s. economy? ♪ >> we have to do something to secure our border. if we have to make sure we are protecting the people of this country and the president is looking up all options. >> chris: we will discuss the president's decision and the impact it will have on consumers, illegal immigration, and the u.s.-mexico trade deal, with white house chief of staff mick mulvaney. then. former special counsel robert mueller breaks his silence. >> if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. >> russia did not help me get elected. if you know who got elected? you know who got me i got me elected. >> chris: but mueller says he does not want to go before congress. >> the work speaks for itself in the report is my testimony. >> chris: we will discuss what's next in the russia investigation with congressman doug collins, the top republican on the house judiciary committee. plus. >> we want to do what is right and wha

and cocaine, and synthetic drugs like intimal methamphetamine, fentanyl analogs that come across the southwest border. and really across all the borders into the united states. the seizures of fentanyl on the southwest border in a lot of cases, though, their purity is different than what we see through the mail system. so, you see much less pure fentanyl coming across the southwest border. and what comes through our mail and express consignment directly from china tends to be much smaller amounts, but much more pure and 90% or above peer. i will turn it over to my law enforcement colleagues as well. >> i can say that in the cases that i have prosecuted or supervised, -- we have been seeing members of that cartel doing anything and everything they can to get their drugs into the united states. similar to what mr. chad chester said, we are seeing lower levels of purity. that we are seeing larger quantities being transported from mexico. we are also seeing fentanyl being mixed in with other types of drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine and obviously heroin. and, like i said, those traffickers are usin

border area to see a u.s. president take a step across the border. >> i mean, it is remarkable. it is something that 24 hours ago would you not have expected to happen. before you saw that tweet from the u.s. president, it was something that did seem, that it couldn't happen. but, of course, it is an image that will be played on a loop for days to come and certainly around the world. that is an image that is there to stay. what it does symbolize apart from a remarkable, historic moment and photo opportunity is hopefully these talks are no longer stalled. we have seen very little progress between these two sides since hanoi summit in february. in fact, we have seen kim jong un go back to some of his missile testing. yes, the short-range missile testing but missile testing all the same. what many hope this actually means is at least the two sides are talking again. and it is a top-down process, it always has been. >> notable absence from this bilateral is moon jae-in of south korea. this is a one on one trump-to-kim communication channel. that is by kim jong un's choice, is it not

the headlines at 3pm: donald trump says it's a "great day for the world" after his walk across the border between north and south korea this morning. stepping across that line was a great honour. a lot of progress has been made. a lot of friendships have been made and this has been in particular great friendship. i just want to thank you. that was very quick notice and i just want to thank you. police name the woman stabbed to death in her home while eight months pregnant. two men have now been arrested. jeremy hunt brands the question over the uk's departure date from the eu a ‘fake debate' claiming he would deliver brexit sooner than boris johnson. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell conceded he's frustrated by labour's lack of progress on its brexit position while the head of the unite union asks thatjeremy corbyn is given more time. protestors take to the streets of khartoum — calling for a return to civilian rule across sudan. and new rules mean electric cars must now make a noise — when travelling at lower speeds. coming up at 3.30pm — we'll take a look at the best of the week's exclusi

here, contraband, freely coming across the border. criminals freely coming across our border. why are we not having a hearing today on identifying, resolving and preventing vulnerabilities within our southern border security operations? and yet the concern is aviation because we all fly. we want to be safe in the air. but does that mean we don't want to be safe in our country? mr. pekoske, would you agree with me that being so concerned about airport security but concerned about security on our southern border just does not add up? >> sir, we need to be concerned with both and, like you, i was just in the southern border about four weeks ago. saw the situation there. it is dire. and it is a crisis and we need to place focus on it. the chairman mentioned in his opening remarks the assignment of tsa volunteers to the southern border. as are other components of dhs providing volunteers. this is a crisis, and we need to address that crisis. this is a high risk for us as a nation. border security is national security. and we need to get at

the seizures of fentanyl on the southwest border, their purity is different and you see much less pure fentanyl coming across the southwest border and what comes through our mail and express concxds con seenment are in smaller amounts. and i turn it over to my law enforcement colleagues. ms. liskamm: in the cases i prosecuted, we have seen members of a cartel doing everything they can to get their drugs into the united states similar to what mr. chester said. we are seeing lower levels of purchase ity but larger quantities being transported from mexico and being mixed with cocaine and heroin. those traffickers are using any manner and means to get it into the united states. senator: there is a border angle that is very important, border security angle that is very important. let me ask you about the chinese government connection and read to you a quotation from a chinese government official from the national narcotics control commission. he said china's control over fentanyl drugs is very strict. cannot be the main source for the united states. the u.s. accusation lacks evidence and contrary to the facts. do

so hundreds of billions of dollars to the drugs that come across the southern border. there is already a cost associated with us that we are trained to get off of the backs of ordinary americans. >> let me go suit the next concern that people have. this will blow up other trade deals integration has both parties including republicans say this could end up killing congressional passage of the usmca, the rewrite of nafta. they point out that a country like china, why make a deal with the u.s. and the president will turn around and raise tariffs anyway because of another issue? >> let's deal with the mexican situation before we tackle china, we have been very specific from the minute that the proclamation loss. this is an immigration that are not a trade matter. so usmca is a trade discussion back ongoing that's why bob lighthizer's meeting with mexican counterparts, is an immigration matter in the church supper. we hope we sold one but we hope herself both. the two are not interactive. we believe usmca is a great deal to the united states of america, we also think it's a

border. now, in response to, and i'm really glad, madam speaker, that finally my colleagues across the aisle have recognized that this is a -- there is a crisis at the southern border, it is not a manufactured crisis as they claimed it was for over two months. this bill does nothing to solve that crisis. it's nothing more than a political messaging bill for a large-scale misinformation campaign about that humanitarian crisis. which my colleagues across the aisle, again, once called a manufactured crisis. specifically in this bill, this bill restricts d.h.s. from sending additional employees to the southern border. congress is now going to tell d.h.s. how to deploy their staffing. amazing. it withholds overtime funds for exhausted officers. it provides money -- listen to this. it provides money to inspect d.h.s. but provides nothing, n't use a dime, to investigate human trafficking. when we know that these children that are suffering are being trafficked across that southern border, not a dime to go after those traffickers. i.c.e. has asked for 54,000 beds to handle this surge and alleviate th
