National Protests Against Child Separations To Take Place In The US

BBC World Service - Weekend, National Protests Against Child Separations To Take Place In The US

We hear from parents who are still waiting to be reunited with their children

As the US prepares for a weekend of national protests against Donald Trump's immigration policies, we go to El Paso, Texas, to hear from immigrant parents who've recently been released from detention, but who still haven't been reunited with their children. We also look ahead to Sunday's presidential election in Mexico, which is widely expected to be a victory for the left wing populist candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador. And as the knockout stage of the World Cup in Russia gets underway we meet the fans who are not supporting their home countries.
