In their cell they said they cant bring themselves to play because they are trying to stay alive in the. Meantime we have to avoid increasing the flow of migrants. Human rights. To israels let me give it to little children who arent doing trauma and care many are living in order to stay in summer sleeping on the cold ground without long blankets or hot meal. This is your way she is a child of these its. Also coming up tonight when we say its hot here in germany we mean it today was the hottest day in june ever recorded in the country a heat wave for the history books doctors are warning it may be one for the hospitals too will speak to one of the. As doctors later in the show. But to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the world suddenly alerted to and outraged by what is happening at the Us Mexico Border for months there has been concern over the welfare of Migrant Children being held in u. S. Detention centers reports this week of squalid conditions now has congress debating a humanitarian aid package for migrants worth billions of dollars but it was the image of a father and his daughter who drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande River to get to the u. S. Is that powerful and disturbing image that now has the world watching and demanding an explanation just as it was during the migrant crisis here in europe in 2015 in the United States this summer of 2019 we are forced to ask again why are children dying at the border. According to reports Oscar Alberto martinez decided to swim across the rio grande be with his wife and child in a bid to seek asylum in the u. S. His wife tanya. Watched as her loved ones succumb to the currents seen here in the red she is led away after so. Chose that these people tried to cross the river to the United States jumped in the water and the drawing when he tried to rescue her. From the. Back in their native el salvador their deaths have started anger and much anguish as their family mourns. This is her favorite doll this one she had every time her mother got her ready. This. Is the mother that. Photo sure a family with their lives ahead of them. Was not yet 2 years old and the demonic last message my son sent me was on saturday he said mama i love you mom mom they are moment he said take care of yourselves because were fine here when i read that message i dont know it made me want to cry because i saw it as a sort of goodbye you know something when i would believe. The tragedy a marriage that is democrats in washington passed a bill calling for extra cash to address the conditions in Migrant Detention Centers beakers recognized for one minute thank you madam speaker this situation as child abuse is not tricity that violates every value we have not only as americans but as moral beings donald trump says he will veto it but deaths like oscar and valerie is on americas borders may make such a hard line stance difficult to. Hold. Them as he was President Donald Trump there i want to bring in now laura macare g director of the immigrants rights clinic and Columbia Law School she is one of the attorneys who visited the Border Patrol facility in clinton texas it was her observations of squalid conditions for children that triggered a National Outcry or its good to have you on the program i want to ask you did you think last week that just one week later we would be talking about children dying at the border children have been dying at the border for years for its not only and over the past year there have been several and 7 deaths of children and federal immigration custody once they are actually in the United States you asked me what i thought a week ago a week ago i was wrapping up interviews and i was devastated and heartbroken by the hollering and aggregating degradation that i witnessed there and i i didnt know at that point what i would do. We know that in the past couple of days the customs and Border Protection officers have reportedly moved hundreds of children out of that facility do we know where those children or are and now i mean do we know if the where theyre living if the conditions are better. Right so the reports that i have heard are that on monday it was announced that several 100 children werent being moved out of the clan the cell any then yesterday we learned about 100 children were brought back into the facility and we are trying to track where the children are last week there were 2600 children in the custody of customs and Border Patrol agents in those facilities this week as of just this week there are only 1000 children left in those facilities we dont yet know where those children are and we certainly dont know the conditions in which those children are being held we are calling for an immediate investigation into every cv people syllabi where imMigrant Children are being detained. Would you say that its possible that were talking about crimes being committed here i mean its one thing to say that were not providing people with basic sanitary needs such as toothbrushes and blankets and so but would you say that actual criminal behavior has been taking place against these children. What i can say is that the government is clearly violating the law a law that was passed in 2008 with bipartisan unanimous support in both houses and signed into law by president george w. Bush says that children must not be in these facilities for any longer than 72 hours and what we witnessed in fruit last week is children c. B. P. Custody for days weeks and nearly a month and this is absolutely in violation of phone law off the floor a Settlement Agreement for 997. 00 requires that children be provided with safe and sanitary conditions what we witnessed in clints was neither safe nor sanitary it was filthy disgusting and an emergent Public Health crisis with a flu epidemic and a license to stage and i want to ask you before we run out of time the the image of the little girl and her father from el salvador who drowned in the Rio Grande River that image has been compared particularly here in europe with the image from 4 years ago of the little syrian boy who drowned and washed up on a beach in turkey do you see parallels between the migration crisis of 2015 and what were seeing now is the mexican us border. Yes so she or in the United States were seeing Asylum Seekers refugees fleeing for their own lives during the worst trauma as the worst violence imaginable and theyre coming to the United States just as they were coming to europe in hopes of a Better Future at least a peacher in which they wouldnt be killed and it is so devastating to see that image i hope that image can be a call to action for all americans regardless of Party Affiliation that we must take care of children who are entering the United States and who are weak in our reporters and i think most people around the world would agree with you with that for sure. Director of the immigrant rights clinic at Columbia Law School we appreciate your time and we appreciate. Your story thank you thank you very much for having me. And i hope and expect this to be the only time that i will speak to you in this matter and the report is my testimony i would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before congress. Famous last words that was the former u. S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller last month delivering the only Public Statement that he has ever given about the russian probe that will soon change against his own wishes congress is asking him to talk again mother will testify before the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee on july 17th most importantly the hearings will be open sessions on Live Television viewership could be the biggest of any televised hearing since watergate while the report itself remains a New York Times bestseller people who havent read the 400 page book and they dont need to they could have a front row seat to what is being billed as the mall or movie live from congress heres House Judiciary Committee chairman jerry never on the importance of letting mr miller speak. I think just the fact just a tease says what was in the report and says it to the American People so they hear it that would be very very important because theyve been subjected to months of deception as to what was in the report by the attorney general and by the president well the u. S. President has insisted that the mobile report presented no evidence of collusion or obstruction of justice so what was the president s reaction to hearing that miller is going to testify before congress well mr trump was briefed but he was consistent if we did he call that 2 words their president ial arrest lets take the story out of washington w. s oliver salant joins me now from the u. S. Capital going to need to you all the very we heard muller say the report is his testimony is this about is getting new information which he says he doesnt have or is this about the optics. Well its of all the way its presented really i mean were talking about a 400 pages reporting quite frankly no one is going to read the 400 pages here at least no one of the American Voters thats the basic assumption so the problem here being is that the interpretation and the analysis of this report was essentially left to congress as well as to President Trump who thankfully took that opportunity and as we know hes been tweeting time and time again and calling this report a witch on president ial harassment essentially in the hopes of the democrats are right now that by subpoenaing Robert Muller they would have someone impartial 3 someone the author in fact of the report delivering 3 on the key findings here and he by the way was certainly not very happy being subpoenaed he said at his may 29 press conference that if he was subpoenaed everything he would deliver would be exactly along the lines of whats already inside that report but thats ok for the democrats all they want is to have him live on National Television centrally answering the question why President Trump cannot be cannot be cannot be you know held. Accountable really for the question of structure of justice that is going to be aired on his testimony here in the United States. Much of the world will be watching and listening to oversell in washington and this was fortunate over thank you. Well the leaders of the u. S. And iran today again traded insult stenches between the 2 countries have been at the breaking point last week iran shut down a u. S. Drone and that almost triggered a u. S. Military strike and it is not only the pentagon that is on high alert nato is also concerned about a bad situation suddenly becoming worse nato defense ministers are holding talks in brussels this week their 1st meet and greet with the new acting u. S. Defense secretary mark esper its already clear that as for once more european pressure on iran to change course but as a used teri schultz reports he may not get all that he wants. This strife in the strait of hormuz is creating a gulf between the u. S. And its european allies theres a debate to put it mildly theres a debate about this between europe and america u. S. Acting defense secretary mark esper will spend his 1st days on the job at nato headquarters trying to convince his european counterparts their own interests are at stake in the street too u. S. Ambassador to nato Kay Bailey Hutchison has been laying the groundwork. Nato folks. Are. Attacking ships. Say that theyre going to go back into preparing for Nuclear Weapons thats pretty strong got to stand up to it but as for is still likely to have a tough time getting european support for military action one of the problematic parts of trumps agenda from the very beginning is this idea of. Basically every nation fighting for itself in a kind of arena of actors thats the way some of the people around trump put it in the beginning of his term so i mean in my view that doesnt work then theres the u. S. President s casual linkage of article 5 all ally solemn responsibility to defend each other to how much they spend on their militaries now there is article 3 which states that all government should continually and affectively improve their capabilities and to be sure some dont but never before has the commitment to collective defense been quantified or questioned europeans are spending more on their militaries now and will spend even more in the future rather than easing tensions with the us a new front has been opened thats because the European Union is earmarking almost 600000000. 00 for its own defense projects that might exclude the u. S. Washington is threatening to retaliate still senior nato. Officials believe things will work out because the us and European Defense industries are already intertwined so i think altogether the picture is not so much that of a fortress america of a fortress europe but that of a transatlantic market that is in place and from this perspective is likely to continue and in its quest to convince europeans to ratchet up pressure on iran the u. S. May take heart from recent history it took years but all allies now agree with the u. S. Conclusion that russia is violating the intermediate range Nuclear Treaty the i. N. F. They also support the u. S. Decision to declare the treaty dead on august 2nd unless moscow announces it will destroy its program before then a unanimous nato stance that once and impossible to achieve. Europe is being hit by an unprecedented heat wave the choking temperatures set to intensify over the next few days maybe even breaking the highest levels ever recorded in certain countries lets take a look at some of the numbers in paris the average high for this time of year is 23. 00 degrees celsius today it hit 39. 00 in central france thats a 100 into fahrenheit and its the same in spain it should be around 27 degrees in late june but the number of areas including the capital madrid today hit 38 degrees celsius and today right here in germany we recorded the highest ever temperature for the month of june the mercury in a town just outside of berlin at 38. 6 degrees that is a whopping 101 degrees fahrenheit well dont worry we are sweaty here too at our studios in berlin the extreme weather is expected to continue until the weekend w. s going to kettles braved the beating sun on the streets of the german capital heres what she found. I will keep checking balance temperature fro the day find out how my fellow berlin us i handling the heat and closely observe if the german capital can top the record. 38. 5 degrees says yes that was the hottest june temperature ever recorded in germany until today if this doesnt sound hot to you it does to people here most of us dont have air conditioning at home this is your hallway prepared i you know im taking my family to the pool and well be staying there the whole day. Its best not to work or strain too much stay in the shade. And its getting hotter by the minute i am in the hot off balance government district. I dont know what america behind me in this building does to cool down but the tourists have certainly found ways to enjoy the heat. Do you have any sort of ways to cope with the heat yet we we have 50 sunscreen all over extra 50 in the bag and then we try to stay as much as possible in the shelter. So where do you come from where you come from ukraine are you surprised by this weather here in germany at the moment yeah we didnt know that it would be 36 degrees like today 36 degrees you might call it hot but its still not breaking the temperature records many seem to share my favorite way of cooling down though. So what about that record i am not calling it a day yet. I have found a place in berlin that has definitely top the heat recall on this. In there was it gets it was standing it actually feels more like 50 degrees were going to see when its this hot to people who really come and buy kebabs yeah yeah many people buy kebabs kababs make things better i dont know how he does it just thinking about eating a kebab makes me sweat and no wonder really considering this has been the hottest day off the island so far. This is like a cancer or something and what are the precautions that people should be taking i mean im hoping that youre going to say they should have no well working air conditioners definitely so germans are afraid of air conditioning and they tell me. And the word is german invention how do you know what else in the world have means its a draft if theres a draft in the room its like wind when they can make you sick we have all the time i want to ask you Scientists Say that these heat waves are going to become the new no were particularly in the summer. The climate is changing rather quickly yes are humans able to adapt this quickly young people and people at our age no problem so after a while you got that spirit you sweat a lot but you know you adapt to drink a lot but if specially those people in danger we talked we were talking about they have an enormous risk to get sick and also to be forgotten especially you i think about elderly people who live alone at toyota in the cities there are enormous real risk and we always thinking about we also thinking about this im sure in. The doctors and us we have scientists. Who think about those climate changes now its a good point you made because its just coming to work today the news there is many people outside because it is so hot and you dont see any elderly people outside right now they all stay inside and they forget to drink and nobody looks after them and they can thats why they are in danger because nobody thinks about it and its getting worse. Before we run out of time but what developed our mindset in dealing with heat you know we were talking about air conditioning for example do we have to change the way we view he. The way we live with it if we want to have a comfortable life i mean is there something that we have to change or appears will. We i think its happening all to magically but we have to make sure that until it happened and until that process has ended not we dont have too many people who suffered. Or have given their lives for it you know. We should be going to foster with changing conditions changing a way to. Thinking about how to build buildings. How to what to do with people how to do public transport for example which is also very hot right now. From a University Hospital we appreciate your insights and stay cool yeah thanks a lot thank you. The day is almost done but its always a conversation continues online to find us on twitter either d.
