Bodies of two migrants found in river on US border

 The bodies of two migrants were recovered from the Rio Grande separating the US and Mexico this week, including a three-year-old child.

Migrant arrivals at the US southern border have spiked to near-record numbers in September, putting a strain on local resources.

The child is believed to have drowned after being swept away while crossing the river.

Hundreds of migrants die each year while attempting the crossing.

According to a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson quoted by CBS, the BBC's US partner, the body of the three-year-old was recovered near the town of Eagle Pass on Wednesday. He was traveling with his family and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The following morning, Texas state troopers located another body submerged in the river in the same area.

Both bodies were discovered to the north of a controversial string of border buoys set up to deter migrant crossings near Eagle Pass.

The barrier has been the focus of intense legal wrangling, and a federal judge ruled earlier this month that they be moved by 15 September.

Texas filed an immediate legal challenge which was upheld and allowed the buoys to remain in place.

Across the length of the nearly 2,000-mile (3,218km) US-Mexico border, migrant apprehensions have risen to near-record levels this month, posing a significant challenge to US President Joe Biden's efforts to plan to handle immigration.

Internal Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) data obtained by CBS shows that 140,000 migrants were detained at the border in the first 20 days of September, an average of about 6,900 per day. In July, the daily average stood at 4,300.

About 9,000 migrants were processed on Wednesday alone, the highest daily figure seen since May just before the US moved to end Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allowed for the rapid expulsion of many migrants.

Mayor's house burnt down in Libya flood protests

 The mayor's home in the Libyan city of Derna has been burnt to the ground, as hundreds of protesters demanded answers for last week's catastrophic flood. They gathered on Monday evening at the city's landmark Sahaba Mosque, some crying and chanting for top officials in Libya's eastern government to be sacked. More than 10,000 people are officially missing after two old and dilapidated dams burst, flooding the city. At least 4,000 people have died. The home of Derna's mayor, Abdulmenam al-Ghaithi, has become a focal point for people's anger. Residents say they were not sufficiently warned by officials, who they believe must have known a huge amount of rainfall was coming. They say they were also given a stay-at-home warning rather than told to evacuate, although officials deny this. the purvanchal files full movie download   the purvanchal files full movie download   the purvanchal files full movie download   expend4bles movie online   expend4bles movie online

Germany's far-right AfD wins first city mayor poll

The far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has won its first mayoral election in a city. AfD leader Alice Weidel described the result in Pirna, Saxony, as "historic". Tim Lochner, a former carpenter, won 38.5 per cent after a run-off vote against two right-wing candidates on Sunday. The party's victory is being seen across Germany as a bellwether before key state and local elections next year. The victory also came days after the party in Saxony was officially labelled "extremist" by the country's intelligence services. While at the local level it has previously won seats on councils, it has repeatedly lost mayoral elections in large towns and cities. dunki movie online   dunki movie online   dunki movie online   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie down
