What a game. U. S. Defeats england by 2score 1 in the womens world cup, launching them to the final. Inside the detention facility at the border. A new report is released, and we speak to one democratic congresswoman who is outraged by what she saw. At indigenous communities in the amazon under threat. Cutting down the forest is in direct conflict with their way of life. Nada for those watchi on pbs and around the globe, welcome to world news america. It was a nailbiter in france that had it all as the womens teams from the u. S. And england battled it out in the world cup semifinals. Our office probably was not the only one on edge, but in the and in the end it was the United States who just came out on top by a score of 21. The bbcs Christian Fraser watched e game from a bar here in washington, d. C. , and i spoke to him after the final whistle. You are probably among the few england fans in the bar. T what was the momke when the United States won . Christn go to the lucky bar, they said, in d. C. It was not very lucky if you are at england fan. Into the lions den, among all the america fans. This bar emptied quick, but it was packed to the rafters of the about aew minutes ago. There was a big shout of team usa when the final whistle went. What a roller coaster, particularly the seclf. You have the penalty which was adjudicated on var and that the red card to throw into the mix. A real seesaw of emotns. There were some england fans in here, bunot many. It is mostly the usa fans who are going home very happy this afternoon. Nada christian, as you say, a lot of tension, but wasdohere ant amongst the u. S. Fans that they would not end up on top . Christian they would say no, not at doubt at all. There were a lot of doubts when that penalty was rewarded. I said to a friend, we missed two penalties in the tournament, this is three out of three and he said, i think you are going to score this, and lownd lo and behold, alyssa naeher, who has gotten criticism, doubts about whether she was fulfilling the part she put in a really good performance as well. Heads held high for the usa team. I think a little bit of sorrow for the england te, watching them trudge up the pitch. No one wants to see them go out and particularly having missed the penalty. They cnged it but it didnt change the lock, and in the end it was a ltle bit too much. Probably the best team won out at the end. The americans, they have rl spirit. Incredible stamina. They do not stop running. Th the end of the day it is what carried them acrosline. Nada thank you so much, christian. For moren the result to my spoke with for more on the result, i spoke with football analyst tommy smyth. What were the highlights of the game for you . Tommy thrills, spills, excitement, and adventure. We had everything in the game. We had theoal that was ruled out. Under the old days, that would never have been ruled out and it would have been a goal for engl wd. Thhad the penalty kick, which was very dubious. The goalkeeper came up with the save. At the end of the day, england had enough chances to win it, od the u. S. Just know how put the game away. They dont panic. They have started to know how to mana a game. The fact that Megan Rapinoe wasnt playing did not bother them at all. The score early, sit back att bit, absorb all the pressure. Nada with rapinoe out, who also who else was the rising star of the game from the u. S. Side . Tommy the press woman who came in. She was involved in the setting up of the second goal. Thcoach made a good move bringing her in. She brought in a couple of fresh players into the u. S. Team who might have been run little bit, as it was, played very well. Jey made a couple of changes. Sometimes that ct be the difference. I just thought that england laged that little bit of be convinced. I know that neville said they were convinced. I dont think i saw it today. I didnt see it from bronze, ths kind of pl had played. If i was going to write a postscript, i would say that she was in the woman that it was said she was. Idshe o wasnt the best in the world. Maybe today that was in her mind and maybe she proved it. Nada this was such an exciting game. A lot tension throughout. Will the final be just as exciting . Y tohe final is always exciting. For the u. S. It certainly will be. They are world cup. Retain the they have the world cut out for them because the two teams in it tomorrow people say, tommy, the u. S. Beat sweden already. Sweden didnt care whether the u. S. Finished first or second. Ha the netherland turned out to be a very talented side. People said maybe they are a wee bit young. U are never too young in this game. In fact, the younger you are, the better. You have got to be fit to run all night. There will be huge excitement. But i thk the fact that it was the u. S. Against england, and the fourth of july is around the corner, i think this whole thing it was kind of a war again. We are going to go out there and take it and get the job done. To the end of the day, as the man in the washipub, even though he is sober anyw, he said that the game, the best team probably just about won, and i would have to roll with that opinion as well. Lenada well, we canyou leave without giving your prediction for the final. You said the United States was the best team. Will they be the best team in the final . Tommy ive said all along that i think sweden will win the world cup, and i will myick by uns. But then i picked the o lose today. What am i to lose by picking against them again . I am on a roll at the moment. I cant pick a winner. Why not another one . Nada better luck next time. Thank you, tommy smyth. The bbc will have full coverage of the final on sunday.

Detention facilities is stirring outrage, this time from democratic members of one guest who traveled to the border on monday to observe the conditions for themselves. A report was released today by the department of Homeland Security Inspector General showing what conditions look like in the rio grande valley. Chris buckler reports. Chris at americas border, migrant families will tell you what they expect and what they hope or when they reach the United States. It is opportunity, safety, and refuge. Currently the reality is very different. Inside the processing and detention facilities along this border, a new watchdog report talks of dangerous overcrowding, security concerns, and children have no access to showers. It was, in the words of one official, a ticking time bomb. They put them in a room with no Running Water, and these women were being told by cbp officers to drink out of the toilet. They were Drinking Water out of the toilet. That was them knowing that asi congressional was coming. This is cbp on their best behavior. Chris there are several facilities along the border. While the authorities claimed they are doing the best they can, they are struggling to cope with a surge of people coming from Central America a doctor weston inside the Processing Center where children are being cared for said what she discovered was distinctly uncaring. Even the minor things that the patrol my finger i might think are insignificant, like the 24hour lights on, not enough food and water, that is completely demoralizingpe to the le. Yes, i think that is causing significant and lasting trauma. Chris in her report for a group of immigration lawyers, she compared what she found to torture facilities. Three weeks you are not sleeping well, you feel awful, and youronhole day is an aught of negative experiences full yes, i believe that is torte. Chris President Trump tougher immigration policies are needed to det people from coming to the u. S. But there is growing anger for how they a treated no matter how or why they arrive here. Chris buckler, bbc news, browville and texas. Nada as we mentioned, democratic lawmakers visited facilities in texas o sunday, saying they would demand answers for what they called inhumane conditions. Congresswoman Madeleine Dean from pennsylvania was on the trip and joined me e. I started by asking her what she witnessed. Rep. Dean i had the chance to visit three facilities and a Detention Center in homestead, florida. What i saw in texas at el pasoat n number one, we were able to go inside and we went into a whcell of 15 women, most o o be from cuba, who had been held for 56 days. It w just that day that they were moved inside to this cold, cinder they were in sleeping bags that had just been provided to them. Prior to that they were outdoors or in tent areas. See these metallooking blankets, sheets of thin tissue, frankly. What we saw were women on the floor crying, women whose mouths were cracked open with exposure and or lack of wat. And we took a look at the facilities in this tight, cramped little cell, there was a partition wa and a stainless steel toilet with no toilet seat for all 15 women, no Running Water in the sink. The women told us wh questioned no Running Water, they told us they were told they could drink from the toilet because that was clean enough. This is unacceptable. Two of the women have been separated from their adult daughters and have no idea what they were. Three were sick, two with epilepsy, one with an undiagnosed condition. It was gravely inhumane and very troubling, haunting for who else had been and how they had been treated. We also visited a site in clint, texas, where you may have report that a couple of weeks ago it was learned that 250 children were at a site in clint, texas, that was an adult male facility for 106 people. The children had no business being there. Erwhen we went yesterday, were only 25 children left at bee facility, and when i asked what was the top nof children, we learned that two and a half months ago, 700 children crammed t for 106 men. Nada congresswoman, we have heard these accounts by immigration lawyers, now by the development of homeland s Inspector General report. What does Congress Plan to do . What do you plan to do . Rep. Dean i will quote my friend and colleague, the great civil rights icon john lewis, who was with me today at homestead among other terrific lleagues. We came to learn and understande the experithere and we came to, unfortunately, see that these children and adults who are immigrants, migrants, who are seeking a better place, seeking a healthy, safe world and thought thatlace might be america, are not being treated with the values that are ouric am democracy, that we do celebrate this week on the fourth of july. Wetame to shine a bright li on what is going on with the children and adults who are coming into an overcro system i have sympathy, it is an overcrowded system but we are not doing it well. A not doing it humanely. When i approached the children who were kept behind a glass cell door d we tried to communicate with them, i was chided. I held up a little note that said we love you, and i was techided for holding this p. That is not the way america is. We do love those who come to ouc borders, elly those in crisis. We need to make sure that we treat the least of these with compassion and decency. We are there to say that this Administration Needs to put an end to the indecent way were eating those who come to our borders. Nada congresswoman Madeleine Dean, thank you for joining us. Rep.
