Around the world, people have been focused on the father and his daughterfrom el salvador who drowned while trying reach america by crossing the rio grande river. In a shocking image, Oscar Ramirez and his daughter valeria were shown face down in the water after they died on sunday. The two along with mr ramirezs wife left the bank of the river in matamoros in northern mexico. She managed to return to the shore on the mexican side. Earlier the bbc asked her lawyer how she is coping. Shes got not welcome i cant tell you shes gay because shes not, shes too young, and she is not i cannot describe her to you. Good. Recently, the number of mexicans crossing the border has fallen, while there are increasing numbers from guatemala, honduras and el salvador. But the photo of the father and daughter has prompted el salvadors government to warn people against risking their lives to reach the us. Also mexicans president 0brador has also issued this statement. People are losing their lives, in the desert or crossing the rio grande, weve always condemned it and we dont want it. Donald trump says a tough stance is necessary to reduce numbers. His critics say its driving migrants to take more dangerous routes. The bbc spoke to this man trying to get to america. We are asking the president to understand we fight our country because its becoming communist and we are politically prosecuted. Chris buckler is in brownsville on the us border with mexico. Chris before we talk about the broader issues, most of us dont know about brownsville tell us about how its in the story. Im sorry apologise could you repeat the question. Thats all right, most of us question. Thats all right, most of us dont know about brownsville, tell us how it fits in the story. Its right on the border with mexico and its here, where a community that used to crossing the border live so often, you see behind me this is one of the bridges that pretty that people cross every day, but if you got to get excited, and you will find groups that my grandson sitting there, right on the edge of america. The other side of the rio grande where they cannot go further, they gather at that border but they have someone who will come to them and get through with assigned lump claim process but they sit in blazing heat here and many of them had been there for months, and they havent managed to get to the american authorities and get the process under way. You can only imagine that frustration, especially for pa rents imagine that frustration, especially for parents who have these Young Children who are sitting there, and ijust children who are sitting there, and i just have to say, children who are sitting there, and ijust have to say, deceit is so strong for them that he makes it extremely difficult for them day after day. How is the depth and the loss of thy father and daughter affecting the conversations that are happening among the people trying to get across . You know, they gather along the river, the rio grande, which isjust along the river, the rio grande, which is just the opposite side of the american border and take can look across and see the barriers, but its temptation for people to ta ke but its temptation for people to take that risk. I spoke to people in the last 24 hours and basically said they wouldnt take the risk but they understood why some people would, but again they had been counselling in some cases of families who said they shouldnt do it and i spoke to they shouldnt do it and i spoke to the family he said he spoke to oscar and played with his daughter and his children have played with their daughter, and they said that they pleaded with him not to risk their lives but ultimately, there is this concern that you sit there and you dont get the chance to go to america and you dont get the chance to push for your asylum claim, and its that pressure that we are seeing the frustration on both sides. Both in terms of the american authorities saying they cannot deal with these numbers, but also the other side a bit for people just feel they are one of many and they are not being heard. Chris, thats the human side of the story so lets look at the politics behind us now, democrats and the house of representatives approved a four and a half billion dollar humanitarian aid package for the southern border, but they say they have set strict rules saying it cant be used for immigration raids are expanding the border wall. Thats the house of representatives, now the senate, if ever considering a rival bell with fewer restrictions on how border agencies can use this money, House Speakerfrom agencies can use this money, House Speaker from house of representatives nancy pelosi has been speaking about the tragedy of that father and daughter who were lost in the rio grande. Can you just imagine the father put the little girl on sure to go back and get the mother and the little girl wanted to be with her father to get back in. And then he couldnt, they couldnt, he couldnt save her or himself. This is such a chatterjee, and i think, lets not its not a question of blame, lets understand the consequences of policy here. Im sure no one who had to do a policy it would say i dont care Something Like this happens, but it does happen and i visited the border so many times over the years, and i and ijust and many times over the years, and i and i just and the many times over the years, and i and ijust and the receiver, the rio grande has personality, its not just some river that use of the cioss. Just some river that use of the cross. It has its moments. Chris coming back to you on a ship money, how badly needed are those findings whatever that restriction is coming with them, for the personnel on the side of the border. Incredibly so, what weve seen in washington is essentially despite between democrats and republicans, do republicans love the opportunity to ensure that they can spend money in whatever way they see fit and that of christ is security democrats want to focus clearly on humanitarian aid, and it goes beyond the sitting on the other side of the border, it also goes into the facilities where children and others are being cared for, and there are reports coming out, and another one is expected next week, which i have been very critical about the caregiving there, and the conditions in which people are being held. But we have seen today from nancy pelosi is she is going to accept the republican version of the bill that went to the republican controlled senate, rather than pushing for the democrats controlled house of representatives bill, which is a it would reject, but she says shes backing down because these billions of dollars is urgently needed and as far shes concerned for my children have to come first and perhaps that shows the impact of that picture of Oscar Ramirez and his daughter malaria lying in the wider, its again on that politician mines, but not on squabbles behind the bill at the problem and help the families out. Thank you very much indeed, chris talking about politics on the plane of the of whats happening at the border. Last night we saw 10 Democratic Candidates for the us presidency in a live tv debate. Tonight we see some more including joe biden and Bernie Sanders. And of the ten weve heard from, senator Elizabeth Warren was the highest profile. Here are some of them on healthcare. I understand there are a lot of politicians who say oh its just not possible we cannot do it, just like the political reasons for it, but what they are really telling you is that they will not fight for it, health care is a basic human right. And i will fight for a basic human right. I think the choices is fundamental to. Right. I think the choices is fundamental to. Private insurance is not working for thousands of americans when you talk about premium out of pocket expenses americans when you talk about premium out of pocket expenses and whatnot its not working how can you fix a system not working . They can choose medicare. You have to start by acknowledging. Theyre able to keep in. The conversation turned to gun control too. The single hardest question ive gotten the single hardest question ive gotte n less the single hardest question ive gotten less from a little boy and girl, and back is to say when youre president , how will you keep us safe. Thats our responsibility as adults, seven children will die today from gun violence, children and teenagers. I want to save my colleague and i have been hearing this on the campaign trail, but whats worse is i hear gunshots in my neighbourhood. I think im the only one and i hope i am that had seven people shot in the neighbourhood just last week. Someone i know was killed with an Assault Rifle at the top of my blood la st Assault Rifle at the top of my blood last year and for millions of americans its not a policy issue, this is an urgency and does not directly affected, are tired of living in a country where the kids go to school about to learn about reading writing arithmetic and how to deal with active shooters in schools. The issue of illegal immigants coming across the Us Mexico Border is certain to feature in this campaign President Trump will make sure of it. An it came up last night. Youre looking atjust youre looking at just one youre looking atjust one smart apart small part, im talking about a comprehensive rewrite at the immigration life and if we do that, thats not im talking about millions of folks, a lot of folks coming who are not seeking asylum but many of them are dumb undocumented, but. If you do your homework on the issue. One more clip to show because as much as this election will be about issue, itll also be about one man. This president is literally every single day ten minutes away from going to war, one tweet away from going to war, one tweet away from going to warand going to war, one tweet away from going to war and i dont think we should conduct Foreign Policy and oui should conduct Foreign Policy and our bathrobe at five in the morning. The biggest threat to the security of the United States is donald trump. Jane obrien. His covering both debates, i guess it was inevitable it was messy there at ten of them on stage, it was difficult to get through, but pleading performed well . |j difficult to get through, but pleading performed well . I think Elizabeth Warren drove the debate and is driving the Democratic Pa rtys and is driving the Democratic Partys whole and is driving the Democratic Pa rtys whole campaign and is driving the Democratic Partys whole campaign so far, and is pushing the party increasingly to the max, she came out with one policy initiative after another, or catchphrases i have a plan for that, as she tried out a lot of them last night. She performed very well and kept the momentum going. Also, Julian Castro the hurried debating immigration him we got the better off with the beta aurora, Shows Division within the Democratic Party on how to tackle this incredibly public in a problem, all candidates are united on the fact that they need to get rid of donald trump at exactly how they do that and particularly, how they got to head to had with him on immigration when you get down to details, if a little bit difficult. Thats where we see the divergence of opinion and disagreements, so i think we can expect more of the same tonight, but with added attraction but we now have all the front runners on stage, joe biden, Bernie Sanders, kemal harris, and the youngest candidate, pete. We talk about them in any youre referencing the president who is watching last night and he gave a one word verdict on it. Hes now injapan for the 620 summit, so may miss tonights debate, which starts in a few hours. Someone may give them the klepto. Two of the major contenders in Tonights Panel are former Vice President joe biden, hes the frontrunner in the polls. And the more liberal candidate, Bernie Sanders, curerently polling second. For people coming to this fresh, what are primary differences between the two in terms of belief in policy . I think simply playing it, joe biden represents the centre, he represents the safe pair of pants, somebody who can apply a course corrected to the present presidency of donald trump. He believes like some of the other centrist candidates that you can build on what youve got to improve american lives. Bernie sanders on the other hand is far more left of the other hand is far more left of the field. And he believes there are structural flaws within the economy and within the system of government. And you need to blow the whole lot up and you need to blow the whole lot up effectively in order to make a real difference to america. So it comes down to whether or not you think you can work with what youve got it or whether the problems are so got it or whether the problems are so deeply ingrained you need to change everything up completely, so would Bernie Sanders he probably get more change, with joe would Bernie Sanders he probably get more change, Withjoe Biden you probably get something that looks a little bit more like perhaps the Obama Presidency and for some people but the good thing and for lots of many others thats not. When does it start, jane . In a few hours, i will be there and staying up most of the night, and i will bring you all the details and highs and lows in who winds and ultimately who may lose.
