To brussels and bring back that deal. How World Leaders go down down under, where xi jinping how World Leaders go down down under, where xijinping is more trusted than donald trump. Good morning. It is 7 00am in singapore, midnight in london, and 7 00pm in washington, where the top border official in the United States has resigned following an outcry over the treatment of detained Migrant Children. John sanders says he will step down next week, but didnt say why. He has recently blamed the crisis on a lack of money. Lawyers who visited one of the detention centres reported squalid conditions, with children being held without access to showers or enough food. Here is our north america editorjon sopel. 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 have visited the facility. Around 300 of the children have been moved, although 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. 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. Lets take a look at some of the days other news in the uk leadership contest, Boris Johnsons rival, jeremy hunt, has said the next Prime Minister should be someone who is trustworthy, otherwise the uk risks a general election and no brexit. In an interview with the bbc, mr hunt said the personality of the Prime Minister is all important. He spoke to 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. So what id do differently to what weve had before is 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 . Well, it would be 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 itll be a Technology Led solution. What is the evidence you can get this done . That is the starting point of a deal. You have to be clear about what you want that is different to what theresa may is negotiating, but the answer to your question is that both boris and i wa nt to question is that both boris and i want to change that deal, and the judgement is who is the person you trust as Prime Minister to go to brussels and bring back that deal. Its about the personality of our Prime Minister. If you choose someone where theres no trust, theres going to be no 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. But, i mean, 30 years is a very, very long time. But 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 . Also making news today 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, who is 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 vote on a motion of no confidence against its chief executive, carrie lam. Pro beijing legislators make up the majority of the council. Meanwhile, another rally is planned. 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. In the latest tweet raising tensions, President Trump has called iran ignorant and insulting. That was in response to irans president rouhani saying new us sanctions against his country proved the white house was mentally retarded. The us says there is no evidence that iran has given up its ambition to develop nuclear weapons. Laura trevelyan reports. The people in iran are great people, and. 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 closed the path to diplomacy, while irans president rouhani mocked the us strategy. Translation at the same time you qualify negotiations, you seek to sanction the foreign minister . Its obvious that you are 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 alliteration. Asked what message he was sending with his tweets, this was the president s reply. When they are ready, they will let us know. Very simple. Ready to negotiate . Ready to do whatever. Doesnt make any difference. Whatever they are ready to do, im ready. Iran is lashing out at the president s foreign advisers, lashing out at what they call the usb team, which includesjohn bolton, plotting for war. Usb team, which includesjohn bolton, plotting forwar. Meanwhile, democrats are questioning the administrations strategy. The administrations strategy. The administration has no Strategic Plan as to how to get around to the negotiating table, and what it is 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. If there is further provocation from iran, there is no telling what may happen. Lets get more now on our top story. Our correspondent peter bowes in los angeles told me more about what the lawyers reported. They have described conditions that we re they have described conditions that were squalid, appalling conditions for very young children, some babies, to be held in, with little 01 babies, to be held in, with little or no sanitation, reports of some of those toddlers being cared for by childrenjust a few those toddlers being cared for by children just a few years older, sometimes in rooms with concrete floors, with just a toilet in the middle of the room. There was an outbreak of influenza. Those children that needed them didnt have nappies, and really the list goes on ofjust terrible conditions that these children were being held in. We heard in the last 2a hours that some of those children had been moved out to other facilities. In fa ct, moved out to other facilities. In fact, some have now been moved back. But clearly this desperate situation continues. It is absolutely unimaginable. Where were the parents of these children at the moment . Because of course, these were the children that were separated from the parents. Yes, exactly, and there are many, many of them. And it is difficult obviously to pinpoint the precise location and link them to children, because they have been held at different places. Indeed, some of those parents may well have been sent back to their home countries. So it is very, very difficult to keep track. And in fact john sanders, who is the Deputy Commissioner, was the Deputy Commissioner, was the Deputy Commissioner of the agency, who we now know has resigned, he is reportedly said to have been overwhelmed by the scale of the situation. And that may well fall into this debate and this confusion just about where the parents are, where the parents in relation to certain children who are being housed as well. He, i should say, didnt in his Resignation Letter give a precise reason for stepping down other than to say that he had been thinking very hard over the last few days about his position, and he would leave it to others to decide whether he had been successful in hisjob.

Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. Like us, hong kongs South China Morning Post is looking at the controvresial extradition bill. As we mentioned, its been officially suspended. But according to sources cited here, chief executive carrie lam is refusing to completely withdraw the legislation despite new protests being planned. And with immigration dominating the headlines, the New York Times reports on the increased security along migration routes from mexico to the us. Theyre talking to mexican families who have had their plans to migrate impacted by the government crackdown. And finally, the front page of the straits times, issued here in singapore. It has a picture of people cooling off in the iconic trocadero fountains across from the eiffel tower in paris, as temperatures soar in europe. You could even reach a0 celsius this weekend. Those are the papers. Who do australians trust in World Affairs . Not many World Leaders, according to a new survey of public opinion. Research by the International Think tank, the Lowy Institute found that australians confidence in donald trump dived 30 points over the past year to 25 , putting him just above Vladimir Putin and kim jong un. Even the chinese leader, xijinping is more popular in australia on 30 . However, when it comes to the actual countries, trust in the United States is far higher than in china. Just over half of australians trust the United States a great deal or somewhat to act responsibly in the world, whereas that number is just a third for china, down 20 points over the past year. Lets crunch some of these figures. Natasha kassem is a Research Fellow at the Lowy Institute in sydney and she put together the surveys findings. It is interesting when it comes to australia and china, theyve been Building Bonds for 30 years, australia has benefited from chinas Economic Growth yet when it comes to trust, china has absolutely plummeted in the eyes of the people. You are absolutely right. It is surprising and i do think in the past perhaps australians have mainly been focused on the economic relationship with china and the many benefits that has brought to australians. In the last year weve seen australians. In the last year weve seen more australians. In the last year weve seen more debate about foreign interference, military or if it is in our region, social Credit Systems and human rights abuses, and i think this could be impacting on the way australia sees china. What about things like Chinese Investment in hubs like sydney and melbourne . Buying up lots of property and increasing those prices . That is also a factor, weve seen higher levels of australians, 68 saying Foreign Investment from china is too high in australia. Having said that, property prices are not what they used to be in the cities and australians in the past have said they were more concerned about Chinese Investment or Foreign Investment more broadly in Critical Infrastructure like our National Broadband network or airports. How does it work that the leader of the United States, donald trump, is, well hes not doing very well in the eyes of australians, yet when it comes to the country at dell, the United States they have more confidence, much, much more confidence, much, much more confidence in the nation itself. How does that work . I think this is the difference between australians views in the country and the alliance with the United States and the consistently expressed co
