Migrants seeking entry to the us also face dangers including cramped and unhygienic conditions in Holding Camps along the southern border with mexico. Trapped refugees rescue for business thats our title this week on quadriga and here are our guests. Ana Maria Alvarez from costa rica is a refugee activist and founder of the migration hub.

To quote Stormy Daniels, when somebody attacks me, im going to defend myself. Those were some of the final words from the Adult Film Star before she was excused from the stand in Donald Trumps Hush Money Trial. It is good to be back with you. Im chris jansing, alongside my colleague, andrea mitchell. Defense lawyer suggested she was trying to extort him, and capitalizing on his fame with merchandise, prosecutors for their part pointing out that daniels was the target of nasty, threatening tweets for even coming forward about an alleged affair with donald trump. They asked daniels been telling the truth net positive or net negative in your life. Daniels response, negative. Over the next hour, well bring you live updates from the courtroom, the latest witness who will be back after the lunch break, a bookkeeper at the Trump Organization who handled checks, including of course the key checks, the ones in question in this hush money case.

[ applause ] thank you. Thank you so much. Good morning everybody. Thank you to entire cap team for putting together this ideas conference. Thank you to the staff here at the four seasons for looking after us so well. Im glad we could bring a little bit of l. A. Weather here for at least a couple of days in washington.

For practically my entire lifetime and maybe yours we have heard politicians at events like this talking about how we are on the cusp of a technological revolution, one that will forever alter the way we work, the way we learn, the way that we communicate, flying cars, solar energy, robots that will make us breakfast.

Its been a fascinating discussion, i think. I have two roles here today. One, im accomplishing by having the room quiet down, so thank you. Second, it is my great, great privilege and really a true honor to introduce our next speaker. We have a tight schedule today, so were going to have to do this through lunch, so just lets try and clank a little less, so everyone can hear in the back. I am super, super grateful to have her here. We have as our next speaker one of the great progressive champions in the senate, but truly one of the great progressive champions in the country. I want to say one little story about her. I talked to her a few days after the election, and i think many of us, myself included, were a little shell shocked by what happened and what was at stake for the country, but i talked to her and she talked right back at me about how we needed to get up and fight, because our values were going to be at stake. And, man, was she right. So, im thrilled to have as our next spe
