butjust remember, a country without borders is not a country at all. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowese earlier how the us immigration policy works in practice. well, we are hearing this phrase zero tolerance and a policy that has been implemented to the letter over the last couple of months, zero tolerance applies to the people coming into this country illegally, across the border. their policy now is to arrest everyone, to send them to jail pending a court appearance. previously those people might have been charged with a lesser offence, perhaps a warning, turned around and deported back to mexico, but those people are now been sent to jail. if they have children with them, the zero tolerance policy involves those children being sent to these detention areas, these refugee camps as they are being described now. a tent has been erected in texas very close to the mexico border, separated from their parents. this is something the trump administration has done over the past couple of months. nothing to do with the democrats. and in terms of the impact, there is political controversy abou

let's speak to our correspondent peter bowes, who has more detail on this story for us. 've been following this closely, explain specifically what robert mueller‘s issues are with paul manafort at this point? right now he is accused of attempting to tamper with witnesses, people who are likely to give evidence at his upcoming trials, specifically to people who were linked with a pro— ukraine group that mr manafort was involved with in terms of his lobbying activity. one of those witnesses, according to an fbi agent quoted in court papers, coming forward saying he'd been approached by mr manafort and that it was an attempt to influence their testimony at the upcoming trial. of course, that would be a violation of his current status, he's been released, he's been under house arrest since his initial court appearance last october and there is now a possibility that robert mueller will go to the judge, as he is planning to do, to ask thejudge to reconsider those conditions of his release, or perhaps to revoke them altogether, which means he could go to jail. he may not be, as

our correspondent, peter bowes, says the #metoo movement may have played a part in thejudge's removalendous amount of publicity over the last year or $0, amount of publicity over the last yearorso, and all amount of publicity over the last year or so, and all that started after the arrest of harvey weinstein. it has changed the mood in terms of women feeling empowered in cases like this, perhaps where they feel that justice has in cases like this, perhaps where they feel thatjustice has been done, and certainly, that was the mood, the feeling after this case a couple of years ago. though it could well be seen as the first expression of that new—found empowerment at the ballot box, essentially changing a wrong that many people viewed at the time, and taking someone out of office have expressed an opinion that many, many people disagree with. there is another way to look at this, and some people are concerned that it amounts to the politicising of judges concerned that it amounts to the politicising ofjudges and that this system, which is rarely used, this is only the fifth time in cali

our los angeles correspondent peter bowes says joe jackson was the driving force behind the formationspecially in terms of the success of the jackson 5. they started as the jackson brothers in 1963, just three of the jackson family brothers, joined by marlon and michaeljackson, the younger brothers, five years later, signed by motown records. and the rest is history. they had a string of hits, and it was joe jackson at the centre of it all. he really was the inspiration behind the family. he recognised their talent. and he was a tough task master. it was tough love in its extreme. in fact michaeljackson, in later life, in interviews talked about how will he was abused by his father, physical abuse. now, joe jackson acknowledged this to some extent, although he said it didn't really extend to abusing his children. he saw it as a way of simply getting the best out of his children, and it was his style of management. and it's interesting that in later life, and also reflected in many of the tributes that we're hearing today from family members, that they respected him for what he did, an
