there's the root cause, joe biden and this administration. - >> he is. elizabeth: -- you know, companies here abuse illegal immigrants when they come to work. they're not legalized. they are assaulted on the way in, and they get sick with covid on the way in, they get attacked by human and drug traffickers on the way in. that's the humanitarian crisis. what do you say? >> right. oh, absolutely. the crisis begins when the coyote a takes money from the family of the person who's going to be trafficked or taken across mexico. that never ends. the stream of cash back is expected to occur regularly with remittances sent back to the home country not to mama, but to the coyote to who financed their trip up here. it is a dreadful situation that we have allowed to flourish, and we are -- follow the money. the money is funding the cartels, the money is funding the coyotes. yes, there are some businesses this side of the border that take advantage of the fact that they can, they can get labor at a less expensive cost. but at what cost to the rest of soci

all eyes on joe all eyes onjoe root.second innings — with rory burns and zak crawley both caught behind for 18 and six, respectively. butjoe root has started to settle in with dom sibley. and root is on 55, and england are 118—2, and lead by 23 on day four of the opening test. the british and irish lions�* decisive third test in south africa "has huge implications for the future of rugby", says three—time tourist ronan o'gara. controversy around refereeing, culminating in rassie erasmus' hour—long video, has stolen most of the focus from the games themselves. and the slow paced second test didnt offer much flowing rugby either. the lions are determined to bounce back from that defeat, and gregor townsend says the team need to show their true selves. when you put it in context of the last eight weeks and the challenges we have gone through, and south africa, but obviously we are a long way from our families for a huge period of time, it would be a massive achievement. but the game is about the... the tissues and games abo

joe root�*s 180 underpinned england's first inning score, england second—best of the two sides in theopting not to select the striker in yesterday's1—0 win over manchester city. the champions are yet to meet tottenham's valuation of the player who only recentlyjoined up with the squad alongside several new signings. so we thought for christian and bryan it was very important for them to be with us today, to feel the atmosphere, to be in the stadium, to be in the hotel, attending the meeting, all these things, but knowing that they don't have too many sessions with us. harry worked this morning, he is preparing himself, and when he's ready, he willjoin the group and help the team. roger federer will have further knee surgery keeping him on the sidelines for "many months". the 40—year—old had double knee surgery last year and says he hopes the latest surgery will give him a chance of comepting again. it's going to be difficult of course in some ways, but at the same time, i know it's the right thing to do because i want to be healthy, i want to be running around later as well again. i w

silverwood has warned players may lose their test spots after yesterday's disappointing defeat to india. joe rootthen he will get all the support he needs. england's women will face world cup holders new zealand in back—to—back matches as the red roses contest four home tests this autumn. england, ranked one in the world, will play the black ferns twice before matches against canada and the us. the first meeting of the series is due to take place on the weekend of 29—31 october, with venues to be confirmed. that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. let's get more now on our top story, the taliban takeover of afghanistan. the chief of the taliban's political office, very familiar with him with his work on behalf of the taliban during the peace talks, he has left qatar. we are told that he and his delegation have landed in kandahar province. he will obviously have quite a lot to say in the establishment of a government, and he has been involved in the public relations, one of the spokespeople for the organisation, released from prison at the request of the united states when it was trying

there is the root cause. joe biden and this administration. it's really very hypocritical.rprised a lot of this administration? c >> sean: you know what, three vaccines, the travel ban the president ten days after the esfirst identified case of covi, jim jordan. that was all donald trump. regeneron, that's donald trump too.an that's saving lives. especially with these breakthrough cases. how do i know? one of my friends, fully vaccinated, got covid on saturday. had a regeneron infusion on sunday and he's feeling great. here it is on wednesday. that all happened because of donald trump. joe biden didn't want the travel ban, didn't push for vaccines. he's giving more rights to illegal immigrants than the hundreds of thousands, now over a million and draconian measures for american citizens. how does that happen in this country? >> it's crazy. president trump provided real leadership, got real answers, secured the border. think about this. march was the highest month on record forut illegal crossings until april. april with eyes month on record until may. may was the highest r

writes, many of us not naturally inclined to support a democratic president have developed a rooting interest in joeuccess. this is not mainly due to biden's skills or vision. it's because he's fighting a rear guard action to save political rationality. he's one of those beings who calculate what is best for their families and communities. his strategy carries assumption of sanity. biden might have been employed a dynamite to solve a jigsaw puzzle, instead it is republicans who have taken that approach. donald trump did not carefully organize his troops for battle. he lit them on fire and hoped they would run into enemy lines. the chocolate damage to our society, norms, and institutions means nothing to him. so joe, this is not a broad support of joe biden's policy positions. this is a support by michael gerson anyway of a resetting of political norms in the era of joe biden. >> right. it's interesting. and he was talking about sanity and temperament for the most part. but george conway was having a conversation with fellow conservatives, life-long republicans who left the party since donald trump a

joe root won the toss and put the tourists into bat but it all went terribly wrong.l still there on 127 not out. brentford fans have been waiting almost 74 years for tonight. they will be playing in the top flight of english football for the first time since 1947 when they take on arsenal later at the brentford community stadium. brentford are nicknamed the bees and manager thomas frank was buzzing ahead of the game. we are a bumblebee, they're not designed to fly. and we are still able to fly into the premier league. and we will constantly do everything we can to keep flying as high as possible, and that means two things to me, very simple. one, win the next game, that's on friday against arsenal. and then i know the next game is against crystal palace, that's as far as i've looked ahead. and staying with football, celtic are into the europa league play—off round after a 7—2 aggregate win over czech sidejablonec. they'll meet dutch side az alkmaar next. however, it wasn't good news for fellow scottish premiership side stjohnstone. they lost 5—3 on aggregate to turke

joe root, once again, had an impressive performance as he made his third century in a row.ck about 60 years. they say no—one hit the ball harder than ted dexter. he's died aged 86 after a life as full as any and an influence still felt. he was kind enough to e—mail me on a few occasions, when i wasn't playing so well. trying to get me back in form, and was very helpful in that regard. he'll be sorely missed and hopefully we can put on a performance in his memory. england's captain was as good as his word. a yorkshire man's runs in yorkshire, nothing better. dawid malan, also a yorkshire player these days, was making his comeback to test cricket. the eyes of the man who, at 33, saw his chance. he made 70. whatjoe root wanted from england was ruthlessness. don't stop when you're head, accelerate. the captain leads by example. are those three zeros in root? he made it to 100 — another one. his sixth this year. and if we're reflecting on the very best english batsmen in history, make no mistake, this man is one of them. his team now have an opportunity they surely can't squande

now, again, those of us who are rooting for joe biden and for these things are not only liberals and o democrats. polls show that most americans actually want what is contained in that $3.5 trillion bill and also the budget resolution, and alsot in the infrastructure bi. so theseas are popular. it's going to be very hard for republicans to takeer them on. >> secular amen for my colleague, robert reich. mitch mcconnell doesn't want to be on the wrong side of popularity. maybe on the wrong side of history. but these are popular plans where people. what's so radical, why can't we afford better hearing aides or vision for older people or all of the things that make us a more resilient and just country. i'm not a huge fan of bipartisanship, but today, we saw something. biden hassa gotten part of his agenda. the 3.5 billion budget plan essentially put forward by senator sanders, but not a single republican supporting it last i checked, is going to complete what i would call the human infrastructure. not that i'm opposed to, you know, broadband access, but the human infrastructure of this c

england then steadied the ship slightly through captain joe root and jonny bairstow, but they've lostose in 16 and 17—year—olds and then i want to proceed as fast as is practically possible, which is not going to be tomorrow. i don't think it's likely to be early next week but i can tell you that the nhs has been kept informed of what has been deliberated bijvi and it has been preparing for multiple permutations and options for very many weeks now. i would expect that this programme will start in a very short number of weeks, as opposed to any longer than that. the health secretary confirmed earlier that the jabs will be offered to 16 and 17—year—olds this month. we 17—year—olds this month. had already been prepari something we had already been preparing for something like this possibly happening and of course we were not to know until there is a decision by the experts but now that they have made that decision on 16 and 17—year—olds, we can put that into action and i hope that we can be offering this very soon, certainly this month. the health secretary confirmed earlier that the jab
