Us government Officials Say they have returned about 100 children to a troubled facility in texas, where lawyers said minors were severely neglected and held without access to showers or enough food. It comes as the acting head of the customs and Border Protection agency announced his resignation without giving a reason. The number of migrants apprehended at the us border surged in may to the highest level since 2006. The bbcs north america editorjon sopel has the latest. It is a non descript government building in clint, texas, but beyond the unwelcoming walls, Migrant Children who have been separated from their parents have been sleeping on the floor without enough food to eat, according to lawyers who visited the facility. Around 300 of the children have been moved, though some have been returned. The case has caused indignation. This was the scene in court as an incredulous judge questioned a government lawyer. If you dont have a toothbrush, if you dont have soap, if you dont have a blanket, its not safe and sanitary. Wouldnt everybody agree with that . Well, i think its. I think those are theres fair reason to find that those things may be part of safe and sanitary. Not may be are. Chanting let the children go now when the child separation policy came to light a year ago, there was outrage. The first lady, melania trump, visited the border. The president was forced into a u turn. But the recordkeeping was so abysmal by us officials that literally thousands of children remain separated from their parents. Im very concerned, and theyre much better than they were under president 0bama, by far, and were trying to get the democrats to agree to really give us some humanitarian aid, humanitarian money. There is broad support over the need to do something about the surge of migrants trying to enter the country illegally. As well as reinforcing the border wall, the administration wants to send a deterrent message. But the worlds richest country keeping children in squalor, with not enough to eat well, it looks as though congress is going to do something about it. The speaker of the house is pushing for a vote today on an emergency aid package. When we go to the floor, you will see our bill. Its for the children, the children, the children. 0n the Southern Side of the border, mexico have deployed additional troops to slow the flow of migrants. But, whether fleeing the turmoil of venezuela or the drugs gangs of central america, there are plenty of people willing to try their luck, irrespective of what awaits them on the other side. Peter bowes is our north american correspondent and joins me now. We have just heard on the last few minutes and in the report, that aid package has now been approved by the house. What difference do expect that to make . The point of this aid package is to provide humanitarian relief for many of those children we have been hearing about and the very human crisis that is going on at the border. There is a possibility that this bill could be vetoed by the white house, there was word earlier that the Job Administration did believe that it adequately covered the overall crisis going on at the border. There has been some concern amongst democrats and some of the money could be used for more detentions as opposed to humanitarian aid. But clearly, it has passed this major hurdle of at least getting through the house, we will have to wait and see what the next step is but if this money ultimately, its a lot of money, billions of dollars dollars, is appointed in the direction of your military and aid, the hope is that it could is the crisis in the units we have had so much about the 24 hour is that have just passed. When children are being held in really quite squalid conditions. Just going back to the resignation of the acting commissioner of the us customs and Border Protection agency, what more do we know about the circumstances around his resignation . Its very interesting timing, isnt it . Well, yes, the timing, isnt it . Well, yes, the timing is thus fascinating because his agency has been catapulted into the headlines over the last few days because of those very difficult conditions stop we know that he had been concerned about funding, we know through numerous reports that there were concerns about the scale of the rob them and perhaps he felt overwhelmed by the scale of the problem. None of that was mentioned in his resignation letter, the letter that he wrote to his staff other than to say he had been thinking very hard over the last few days about his position. But he would leave it to others to decide whether he had been successful in hisjob others to decide whether he had been successful in his job was to think what it will do is focus people s minds that we have this very senior official resigning at a very, very difficult time that this will be seeing these terrible headlines about children being kept in what really amounted to prison cells. And suddenly i think the fact that this bill has passed, perhaps more quickly than some had expected, a very difficult debate on both sides justice need to what had been said in the house. It certainly seems to have focused minds about a problem that has been going on for many months. Lets get some of the days other news. President trumps son in law Jared Kushner has set out what he calls an economic pathway towards peace in the middle east. Speaking at the start of a conference in bahrain focusing on the long awaited us peace plan, white house advisor kushner descibed the proposals as the opportunity of the century, but others have expressed scepticism. A un expert is warning of the dangers of a climate apartheid, where the rich pay to provide for themselves while the rest of the world suffers. In a damning report, philip alston, whos the uns special rapporteur on extreme poverty, claims that even if current global targets are met, Climate Change will have a devastating impact. Hong kongs Legislative Council is due to debate and vote on a motion of no confidence against the administration of its chief executive carrie lam.

Meanwhile protesters against the controversial extradition bill are planning another rally later. In the uk, the one of the conservative politicians hoping to become Prime Minister says Party Members should choose a candidate they can trust. Jeremy hunt is currently foreign secretary. He said without trust, there could be no negotiation, no deal, and possibly no brexit. His warning came as his rival borisjohnson continues to face questions about his private life. Heres our political editor, laura kuenssberg. Jeremy hunt wants to persuade you he ought to be the next Prime Minister. He knows that means, first of all, untangling an enormous mess. What would you do on day one in number ten to get us out of the eu at the end of october . Well, we have to approach this differently. Its the biggest constitutional crisis that i can remember. I would have the dup in my negotiating team, i would have the erg, who are the brexit purists, i would have scottish and welsh conservatives, because fundamentally i believe there is a deal to be done. What would be different about the deal you hope to achieve . Changing the backstop, but with some guarantee that were not going to have a hard border on the island of ireland, for completely obvious reasons. That approach is not too different to what boris wants. I think it will be a Technology Led solution. Listening to you talking about your brexit plans is actually very similar to talking to borisjohnson about his brexit plans high on ambition, low on concrete detail. Well, no, ive been very clear about the concrete detail, and the judgement is who is the person we trust as Prime Minister to go to brussels and bring back that deal. The answer to your question is that both iris and i want to change that deal. In thejudgement is, who is the person we trust as per minister to go and bring back that deal . If you choose someone there is no trust, there is going to be node negotiation, no deal. You dont trust Boris Johnson . You dont think he would be trustworthy as Prime Minister . I would never make those comments about a fellow cabinet member. I would serve borisjohnson. Well, hang on. Let me finish. I would serve borisjohnson to the very best of my ability. Foreign secretary, you have just sat there in a race of two and said this is about who we can trust, someone we can trust, like me, or someone we cant trust. You are clearly talking about your opponent in this race. No, im saying i am trustworthy. Do you worry in this contest that you might be somehow unfairly squeezed out by someone with a bigger personality than you . Laura, ive been waiting for this moment for 30 years of my life. Ive been sitting around that cabinet table thinking how i want to transform our country. So you wanted to be a Prime Ministerfor 30 years . When did you know . I wont say that. I think, if i say that, thats really going to put people off. 30 years is a very, very long time. I would love to do this job. I think i can make a difference. Three decades is already a long time to wait. Will tory members keep him hanging on . Iranian and us leaders spent the day trading insults, as the hostility between the two sides intensified. Iran claims the new us sanctions prove the white house is mentally retarded while mr trump called irans response ignorant and insulting. The us says theres no evidence that iran has given up its ambition to develop nuclear weapons. Laura trevelyan has this report. The people in iran are great people. Just hours after President Trump signed new sanctions against iran, including those which target the Supreme Leader personally, his hawkish National Security adviser, john bolton, was in the middle east insisting the us was still prepared to talk to iran. The president has held the door open to real negotiations. All that iran needs to do is to walk through that open door. But iran declared the new sanctions would permanently close the path to diplomacy, while irans president , hassan rouhani, mocked the us strategy. Translation at the same time you call for negotiations, you seek to sanction the foreign minister . Its obvious that youre lying. If you really wanted to negotiate, we would have negotiated. President trump lost no time in hitting back, warning in a tweet that if iran attacked anything american, it would be met with great and overwhelming force. In some areas, he threatened, overwhelming will mean obliteration. Asked what message he was sending with his tweets, this was the president s reply. When theyre ready, theyll let us know. Very simple. Ready to negotiate, you mean . Ready to do whatever. Doesnt make any difference. Whatever they want to do, im ready. Iran is lashing out at the president s foreign advisers. The foreign minister, javad zarif, lashing out at what he called the us b team, which includes john bolton, plotting for war. Meanwhile, democrats are questioning the administrations strategy. The administration has no Strategic Plan as to how to get iran to the negotiating table, and what its doing is building pressure. And when you have a Pressure Cooker that has no escape valve, all it does is explode. Tensions are extremely high between tehran and washington, following irans downing of a us drone last week. Iran has warned it may violate limits on its enrichment of uranium, laid out in the 2015 nuclear deal, which the us has withdrawn from. The us president pulled back from authorising a military strike last week, but if there is further provocation from iran, there is no telling what may happen.

It was closing time for checkpoint charlie, which, for 29 years, has stood on the border as a mark of allied determination to defend the city. This is bbc news. The latest headlines americas top border official quits amid outrage over the conditions detained Migrant Children are being kept in. Lets get more on that story now. And democrats have voted in favour of a 4. 5 billion emergency funding bill to assist migrants on the border with mexico. It comes after shocking revelations that children held in detention have been severely negleted by authorities. Amnesty International Americans advocacy director Charanya Krishnaswami joined us from our washington studio a short time ago. She says her organisation has been appalled by the treatment of unaccompanied and Vulnerable Children in detention. You know, iwould you know, i would say we are not at all surprised. We are deeply disappointed and we are appalled but we not shocked. What we hearing out of the facility in a cleaned, it is very much with what we have heard coming out of other border facilities. You are saying this is more widespread and happening along the border . It is difficult to say precisely because organisations Like Amnesty International have historically had a very difficult time getting access to these facilities. They are notoriously secretive and difficult to access. The only reason we know what happen ina the only reason we know what happen in a cleaned is because of the attorneys who were they had a court mandated to be there and monitor the facilities and of the conditions in which kids are being held in Border Patrol facilities. Itjust so happened that the attorneys knew children were being held and that is how they were able to document what took place and how those findings came out. But what is taking place in this Border Patrol places is difficult because oversight has made it difficult. Organisations asking for access. Are you being rebuffed . At this point we are still in the process of seeking access and many ngo are looking as many reports unfold. But it is a known fact that it has i was been difficult to obtain any kind of independent oversight of these facilities. This particular facility, a oversight of these facilities. This particularfacility, a Border Patrol station, it is my understanding that children are not meant to spend that long into there . That is absolutely correct. They are not supposed to spend more than 72 hours under the detention guidelines related to Border Patrol facilities. Furthermore, there is a us case law and legal obligation requiring government to transport these children as soon as possible precisely because these facilities are no place for children. They are no place for the families and kids seeking protection at a border in ever greater numbers. 0n the contrary, they were designed for short term stays for one or two hours, but the population were now at the border are increasing numbers of families and kids. People who are coming to assure in search of safety. Our shores. The mercury is rising in france, where temperatures are expected to hit a0 degrees celsius, or more than 100 fahrenheit later this week. In 2003, around 15,000 people, many of them elderly, died during a similar spell of extreme temperatures. From paris, heres lucy williamson. Among the visitors to paris this week, one has come straight from the sahara. A blast of summer heat that has sent temperatures into the 30s and the government scrambling for cover. Hundreds of cool spaces, including parks, gardens and public buildings have been marked out across the capital. And temporary fountains and mist makers set up to help people keep cool. The weather may be coming from the sahara, but its not quite desert temperatures in france yet. Paris is a balmy 33 degrees today, but it is expected to rise and some parts of france further south are predicted to reach a0 degrees tomorrow. The question being asked here is this the result of Climate Change . For a single episode like today, you cant say its due to Climate Change, 0k . Its like you go out in the street and you meet someone that is two metres high and you say oh, humanity is getting taller. In general, we know that Climate Change is also increasing extreme events. We predict this to be more frequent and more intense. Global temperatures have been on an upward trend for more than 50 years. Human activity has released growing amounts of Carbon Dioxide gas into the air, adding to the warming. Some heatwaves are not unusual in europe, but this one has hit much earlier than normal. Average National Temperatures forjune tend to hover in the 20s. Top temperatures are often much higher, though, and some parts of france and germany this week are expected to break those peak records. In france, schools arent yet on holiday and teenagers had their National Exams pushed back this week after the government said the heat was impossible. Too bad commuters on the paris metro cant plead the same. The olympics has long been one of the premiere events for sportsmen and women around the world. Athletes of all disciplines aspire to compete and win a gold medal. Now there could be a new event in the 202a. Now there could be a new event in the 2024 paris games and this one involves a certain amount of rhythm. Though you probably do not want a0 degrees heat when youre doing it. The bbcs tim allman has more. When you think of breakdancing, this is probably the sort of thing you have in mind, a gritty, urban setting, Self Expression from the streets. But brea kdancing setting, Self Expression from the streets. But breakdancing or breaking is now one step closer to becoming a global sporting event. The International Olympic committee seeing it as a way to reach a whole new audience. This success in other youth 0lympic new audience. This success in other Youth Olympic Games in brazil was a clear demonstration that it is very attractive for use. One of the principal in the breaking community is reach one, teach one. 0nce principal in the breaking community is reach one, teach one. Once you have experienced it, immediately in tra nsfers to have experienced it, immediately in transfers to the next generation. 0rganisers say they want to introduce new events that are more gender balance, younger and urban which could men new possibilities. They normally do not see it as something to push for outside of local competition. I think the 0lympics local competition. I think the olympics are a great opportunity for us to reach the global scale. The ioc executive board will make the final decision late next year although that is expected to be a formality so, by 202a, girls and boys will have the chance to break it down and when an olympic medal at the same time. A painting believed to be a lost masterpiece by italian artist, caravaggio, has been snapped up by a mystery buyer two days before it was due to be auctioned. The 17th century painting was discovered five years ago in an attic in france, as Gail Maclellan reports. A biblical scene, judith in the act ofdecapitating a syrian general, holofernes, helped by an elderly servant. Value at around 150 million, it was due to be sold by auction later this week but has gone for what the auction house coily says is a very good price. The identity of the buyer and the price paid are covered by a confidentiality agreement. Though it is known that the painting will not be kept in france. Some specialists have doubts about the canvas. But after years of analysis, it is widely accepted to be authentic. Translation what makes this painting a caravaggio is the enormous energy, the beauty, the face ofjudith cannot be attributed to any other painter. The beauty of her face, the back of her eye, the energy that emanates from this place alongside the sensuality of these shiny lives can only belong to caravaggio. The painting believed to have late undiscovered for at least 100 years. Possibly brought to france during napoleons campaigns in southern europe. It is just a sort of thing you hope you find underneath an old mattress in the attic when youre trying to sort out a leak. If only. If only. A reminder of our top story and Us GovernmentOfficials Say they have turned around 100 children to a facility in texas where lawyers had said miners were severely neglected and held without access to showers and held without access to showers and enough food. In the last hour, the us house of representatives is approved a a. 5 billion aid package to address the migrant surge, whether that is vetoed or not we will find out coming days. That is why it is looking. Thank you very much for your company. You are watching bbc news. Hello. Thats the Stormy Weather over with for now. And for the rest of the week it is turning warmer and sunnier. For many though the flow of air around this area of High Pressure coming into north sea coastal counties will keep it relatively cool here compared with elsewhere. And rather misty and murky at times. Still a lot of cloud as we start off wednesday morning across a large part of england, parts of wales. Still quite muggy across southern areas. Single figures though for some in scotland. And it is during wednesday, scotland and Northern Ireland will see the lions share of the sunshine. Western counties of wales brightening up, parts of north west and southern england. The odd shower in the far south west of england. Keeping a lot of cloud though from east wales, through much of the midlands and towards north east england, during the day. Now, this flow of air from the north is turning things fresher from the north. It does turn quite windy though through the English Channel coast and the flow is coming into north sea coast, and thats why temperatures here are held downjust towards the midteens in some spots. But from western scotland, Northern Ireland, west wales, into southern england, the warm spots here will be into the low 20s. And theres something warmer and sunnier to come as we go through the rest of the week. Still, overnight into thursday, some areas of low cloud, particularly into parts of england and wales, are rather misty and perhaps still a little drizzly in a few spots. Where its been so warm and muggy, it is going to be a fresher night with lower temperatures going into thursday morning. And then on thursday, yes, there will be some areas of low cloud, particularly across parts of central and eastern england. The bulk of that will disappear. Some may hold on through parts of yorkshire, linconshire, into norfolk and along the coastline here. Elsewhere increasing amount of sunshine. West will be warmest and temperatures are creeping up a few degrees on thursday. So some spots at this stage will be into the upper 20s. High pressure just repositioning itself slightly as we go into friday, out into the north sea on friday so were now starting to tap into some even warmer air coming in from the continent, particularly targetted again towards western parts of the uk. A lot of sunshine around, here is going to be a little warmer on friday. It is going to be the warmest day in the west where some here in north west scotland, for example, could be near 30 degrees celsius. Now Western Areas will turn cooler over the weekend. The weekend starts with something hotter to the east and particularly in south east england with temperatures peaking into the low 30s on saturday, but if you dont like the sound of that, thank goodness youre not elsewhere in europe with these temperatures on the cards this week as the european heatwave hits hard.
