The New York Times is reporting that the u. S. Government is deporting Migrant Children to mexico even if theyre not from the country and have no family there more than 200 children is said to have been expelled over the past 8 months once in mexico most have reportedly been sent to Child Welfare shelters the u. S.

Yes so 1st of all the background behind this is a policy called remain in mexico or m. P. P. Which is bull in by the trump of ministration and basically that policy says that if you go to the u. S. Seeking asylum even if youre not from mexico then the u. S. Is going to put you back on to miscarry soil while they decide if theyre going to accept your case or not a process that can take months sometimes which means that a lot of people a lot of them from other Central American countries have been sort of expelled intimates go across the border while that process takes place now weve been reporting on this a lot and the places that theyre cross the border they go into cities a lot of which struggling with crime struggling with kidnapping went to one place in particular called new level of a door which a lot of people are put back into in which we found this systematic kidnapping not just us but n. G. O. S has been happening to moderates so obviously when this report came out from the New York Times unaccompanied children being put back perhaps into those places its caused a lot of concern we spent the time since then checking around weve checked with the u. N. Refugee agency with the red cross with unicef with different n. G. O. S journalists at the border and weve also just checked with a shelter head in the ever learned of the city that was just telling you about where we saw the systematic kidnapping of migrants up until this point theyve all said to us that they havent seen this happening they havent got this confirmed the unaccompanied migrants are being put back across into mexico so this is something that were still checking up on its base the New York Times reporting on internal email coming from big within customs and Border Protection one of the officials there a high ranking official sort of saying that there were suspected cases of this happening we have also reached out to customs and Border Protection saying that were going to be talking about this tonight and they havent given us an answer so far as we can get. Confirm this we do have this response from the Mexican Government it says the mets can government will follow up on specific cases of minors that could have vented mexico in a regular fashion and i asked them what does that mean that every regular fashion they say will basically this is not allowed its not part of a deal with the United States that they can put children unaccompanied across the border while they wait for asylum so this is something that were going to continue following up on as it develops and seeing how much there is to this story if its just a few isolated cases or nothing at all or if theres more there are many thanks for that don hallman live for us in mexico city i mean and also by john have agreed not to deliberately target civilian populations in the dispute and to go in a cab back region just days after a 3rd ceasefire collapsed Foreign Ministers from amina and azerbaijan have been holding talks with International Mediators in Geneva Bayside also agreed to swap bodies and provide a list of prisoners of war within a week this comes as armenian as ery forces made advances towards key locations in the golan a cattle back.

The hasnt been any official announcement coming out of here about. Whether the syrian army is actually heading towards that area i was speaking to with a Top Commander of the army earlier today and he wouldnt confirm any of the news coming out of armenia he didnt deny it either but then he said at the end of the day its no secret we we have said that we want to take back all our occupied territories so that means the 7 disparate surrounding theyre going to care about and eventually Nagorno Karabakh itself and if you look at whats happening the reality on the ground a few days ago there were journals that it wasnt coup but is now is basically south of the light chain corridor which is key for me. Because thats with resupplies nagornokarabakh theres ever a general army has been making advances at a formidable base over the past few weeks is now trying to i think this is really it has to calculate very well what its going to do next because basically once they get the election corridor and shusha. Armenia will be in a very tough position anything north of that its. Also considers occupied territories is a very amount in this area is not very theres not many people there.

Or just 4 days to go until the u. S. President ial election texas has seen an unprecedented in voting the number of in person or mail in ballots has a weighty eclipse the states total vote to turn out for 2016 all the 9000000 texans have cost any votes that makes texas just the 2nd state off to hawaii to break its voting record before election day the Southern State is americas 2nd largest electoral prize after california it hasnt voted for a democrat since jimmy carter back in 1976 and some polls suggest joe biden is slightly ahead with his that. Well donald trump won texas by a 9 point margin in 2016 thats around 800000 votes his Campaign Says its own Analysis Shows that the president is well ahead there lets go to our correspondent chabris hansie joins us live now from washington d. C. Both candidates have been campaigning in the mid west today what have we been hearing from them. Its really interesting whenever trump is in the midwest he sounds like Bernie Sanders because thats what worked for him so well in 2016 he talks about jobs the outsourcing of jobs the trade deals the multinational trade deals which Multinational Companies and wall street loves and which obama love joe biden loves as Vice President and which which led to the outsourcing of so many jobs and trump has something to boast about when it comes to that he did renegotiate nafta the north American Free trade agreement hated by labor unions obama had pledged that he would do the same he didnt do that he just signed up to the Transpacific Partnership instead which is also seen to be a source a potential source of losing jobs to other other nations so trump can coast of thats a look i did that however the problem is his record on. Stemming the losses of outsourcing losses that hasnt stopped since he became president factories are Still Closing the some notorious examples in the midwest a loadstone General Motors plant in ohio where he famously said dont move away the jobs will come back that close down so theres some bitterness there but the question is you know does that bitterness mean that people will then go back to biden whos seen as very much as the old way of doing things a career politician who didnt help either and thats why biden is in there as well saying no hes changed he understands these things but he has that record of not being for main street but for wall street for Credit Card Companies as opposed to those people who who borrow on Credit Card Companies hes talked in the past about social safety nets being slashed or stair a t. V. So theres that debate as to whether he really has changed and whether the disappointment in trump for these White Working Class voters who defected to him for obama whether that disappointment is enough for them to go back to joe biden well not long to wait before we find out many thanks for. That for us live in washington d. C. A u. S.
