my i used the border guards confusion to find a way through. this time just another car went through and as the barrier went up a handful of people just ran into east berlin the moment that moment i had no concerns or fears that something could happen even though i knew that breaching border regulations could be extremely dangerous so transferred. but these 1020 people had made is across 24 if you don't get involved. so benefited a mile and his friends crossed into the east from the west. in la i think i. mentioned the city was completely devoid of people nobody was on the streets we started shouting in calling for people to come out we even rang doorbells we. were deflated when nobody opened but we saw people at the windows and we got the impression they were uncertain and were scared to open. so we decided to go and see what was happening at the brandenburg gate and mother tossed up us here at. the brandenburg gate an iconic landmark in the divided city and symbol of the cold war here the east german state didn't want to give in to popular pr

and then the longer the border is closed the more we lose the chance to make money. even so these goods and their fallen herders made it across into nigeria simply by using illegal routes the same goes for some water vendors who are traditionally from newsier like this man. there are illegal ways to go by motorcycle but the smuggling free has doubled since the border was closed for some the shutting of the border is a welcome move many nigerian farmers have stopped working the land near the border because of banditry the area has seen a wave of attacks by armed criminal gangs who raid villages and steal livestock those who still farm here hope that the border closure will bring much needed security. you know when i would just get to cultivate talent and the situation is getting worse the bandits come by motorcycle at night and start shooting people and they kidnap people. more to. bring him chose to stay to feed his children the border closure may reduce the smuggling of some weapons he tells me but the problem is essentially made in nigeria. the real solution is emp

we have to secure the border.hat would be -- a thing we could do unilaterally without mexico they've been helping at their southern border. but this is just an example of how dangerous the border can be, and we always talk about it in context of immigration but these are drug cartels and we see how capable they are of smuggling and bringing poison into the united states. but look what they did to poor babies this poor family our heart goes out to them and just terrible. we have to do more. now mexico didn't accept the president help as it relates to military but i'm sure if fbi hes do this investigation, there are things that we can do on intelligence side, and nominating them of a terrorist group helps in intelligence selection systems but, obviously, everybody can do more. this was a terrible tragedy we have to find ways to protect that border better about and help mexico where they'll accept it. >> because now story is coming in we don't know what stories to believe that these families were used bait by one car

customs and border protection to regain operational control of our border with mexico. we actually know better. the policies raise serious legal questions and created a new humanitarian crisis along the southern border. it runs contrary to our american values. returning migrants with known physical, mental and developmental disabilities in mexico is unacceptable, sending pregnant women into mexico where there is no safe housing and basic medical care for them is unacceptable. establishing secretive courts, dhs uses to prosecute asylum-seekers who wish to return to mexico runs contrary to our values. indeed, immigration court proceedings are generally open to the public for the sake of transparency. american immigration lawyers association, aclu and amnesty international among others regularly observe these proceedings. however these organizations have been repeatedly denied access to the temporary courts in laredo. for those of you familiar with the rio grande valley, you know about the work of catholic charities carried out to assist migrants in that region. and also b

border between hong kong and the mainland. the photo of wong attending a peaceful march in june caught their attention he explained it was unauthorized march and hong kong allowed him to participate but they wouldn't listen. they said this was about a matter of national security and that it wasn't up to me to decide what in danger in it means national security is above all other laws where national security is concerned they said we can catch you in hong kong or any other place in the world. one was held in a single cell that had been covered in soft material the glass door was translucent from the outside only lights left permanently on over and over they interrogated him asking about photos on his vote and contacts to foreign nationals i had to crouch like this for the whole generation of the interrogation. they placed me right under an air conditioner with the wind blowing at me constantly each interrogation lasted a few hours and whenever they thought i didn't sit well they would beat me like this. punch my back or kick me

it isn't just a border issue. make no mistake, if your city, town or state has a meth problem, it came from the southwest border. so when we talk about the importance of the resources we need, including the wall, and the 76 miles of new wall system that's been built, of the more than 450 new miles of wall we anticipate have constructed by the end of 2020rk it's about increasing the c.b.p.'s operational capacity to address both the humanitarian and national security crisis we face at the southwest border. improving our ability to safeguard the united states, uphold the rule of law and maintain the integrity of the system and put the cartels out of business. that's our goal, that's this president's goal. and we're getting there. with that, i'll take some questions. reporter: is cartels your main focus? is the administration giving any consideration, in the wake of the slaughter of the mormon family, to labeling the cartels a terrorist organization? mr. morgan: so, what i'll say is we are absolutely collectively, fro

i'm back in mexico here come the border police just on the. construction of the main border barrier began in 1901 as part of president bill clinton's operation gatekeeper strategy the project was aimed at reducing illegal immigration. between 202016 the length of the wall was extended to around 1100 kilometers. in 2018 the u.s. government started upgrading the old barrier near to one of. these new steel panels are about 5 meters high. i. didn't know what i do when you talk to people from mexico or in the way of all of a though they tell you stories from their childhood you know they crossed the border to buy milk and americans came over to buy tortillas. some experts call the border area a 3rd nation where people from both sides would interact with each other. is that they'll say don't let. the so. i. give them that was in the city of tijuana and particular has always fascinated me because of all that it represents because when that's true it's a destination for a lot of migrants and a major point of transit want to also welcomes people who co

border patrol said up to 50% of border agents are no longer on the line.hey are changing diapers and making hospital runs. it's hard to manage because of the crisis on the border. lou: that's my point precisely, and it's appalling what we are watching. the fact that we have 27,000 mexican soldiers on the u.s. border with mexico, also they have some of those troops on the southern border with guatemala, and they are doing amazing things. but what they are not doing is taking on the cartels. the cartels drive everything that happens at that border and drives everything with drugs, sex trafficking and human smuggling into this country, right? >> absolutely. you and i talked about this a dozen times in this show. they need to attack cartels, the transportation structure. because everything illegal on that border is controlled by the cartels. they are running mexico. and mexico has not been very good at addressing the cartels. so i think i love this president for saying let us come down and help you. we have got investigators and intelligence assets and financi

better on the border. president trump's policies are working and because they are work they are getting more desperate. wee when we cut into that revenue, they get more dangerous. lou: no one has been clearer in his warnings about the capability of the cartels and the extent of their influence and control whether in mexico or what they are doing with drugs, sex trafficking and human smuggling in this country. >> it's a real shame. my condolences to the families of these lost children and wives. this is a horrendous crime that occurred on the american people. and it struck the hearts of the american people and the mexican people. we have to look at the cartels differently. you hear people talk about the mexican drug cartels. it's something they do, it's not what they are. they are operating in 54 countries. the new generation 42 nations around the world. the processes we have tried as law enforcement at every level, texas spent $880 million in one legislative session for border operations to hold one cartel
