  • We are here at this fear Vegas, baby.

  • I'm Coy Wire.

  • Welcome to CNN 10.

  • The best 10 minutes in news.

  • We're in Las Vegas all week revving up for the Super Bowl between the 49ers and the Swifties.

  • I mean the Chiefs. We're gonna be bringing all sorts of fun coverage of the big game all week long.

  • We start today though on Capital Hill, where the Senate revealed a long awaited $118 billion bipartisan deal to address the migrant crisis at the southern border as well as foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

  • Let's first turn to CNN congressional correspondent Lauren Fox who breaks down what is in this proposed bill.

  • After months of negotiations with the bipartisan Senate group came to terms with is a change in the way that the US would ultimately handle asylum claims at the southern border.

  • Specifically, they would raise the threshold of who would qualify to even begin the asylum process.

  • They are also trying to move more expeditiously to ensure that what used to take years would now only take about six months.

  • They are all so introducing this new emergency border authority which essentially says if border crossings reach a weekly average daily threshold of 5000, that the administration must shut down the southern border.

  • Now, despite the bipartisan cooper operation on this legislation, it will be tough to get this bill passed.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson already proclaimed that this bill would be quote dead on arrival.

  • If it reaches the house, many Republicans believe this bill does not crack down hard enough on illegal immigration.

  • As you can tell, the border situation has turned into a divisive issue, especially as we're in an election year and the policy fight has spread beyond Capitol Hill and the campaign trail.

  • Our Rosa Flores reports from Eagle Pass, Texas where a weeks long standoff over border security issues continue between the state of Texas and the Biden administration.

  • Eagle Pass looks like a war zone.

  • Texas, Governor Greg Abbott, ordering miles of razor wire placed along the Rio Grande and around a public park to block migrants like this group of Venezuelans from entering the US.

  • They are trying to turn themselves in to immigration authorities.

  • Texas shutting down 2.5 miles of border in Maverick County and denying us border patrol access.

  • Texas very simply is securing the border county.

  • Sheriff, Tom Schmerber says that Texas takeover puts local officials in a tough spot.

  • It's creating some kind of a problem for us because we kind of look like in the middle, the weeks long standoff between Texas and the Biden administration over command and control of the border and Eagle Pass has turned into a partisan rally cry and now it's as bad as it's ever been at the southern border.

  • Dozens of Republican governors and attorneys general from around the nation and former President Donald Trump side with Texas.

  • I want to express our thanks to Governor Greg Abbott.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson also said I stand with Governor Abbott.

  • The last time Congress passed comprehensive immigration reform, it was 1986 and Ronald Reagan was president, the most comprehensive reform of immigration laws since 1962.

  • And while a bipartisan group of senators are pushing for a border deal, now the appears to be dead on arrival in the house.

  • Much of it due to the strong opposition from former President Donald Trump.

  • This is a terrible bill, terrible bill for our country.

  • Sheriff Schmerber from his neighborhood at Eagle Pass is calling out Trump for lobbying against a bill that both parties say is the toughest border security legislation in decades.

  • Would you blame President Trump if the deal doesn't go through?

  • Yes, because it's going to hurt us.

  • You know, I see that as political President Trump is just Magali Urbina, a Republican with riverfront property, an eagle pass that is lined with razor wire says the border deal falls short of fixing the issue.

  • Former President Trump has been lobbying against that bill.

  • Do you agree with him?

  • I do agree with him.

  • Actually, I believe that when Trump was president, having them remain in Mexico, I think that helps.

  • Meanwhile, an Eagle Pass stand offs like these between the group of Venezuelan migrants already on us.

  • Soil and state police are daily occurrences that don't stop illegal immigration instead just delay it for a few hours or a few days.

  • Texas Governor Greg Abbott hosted about a dozen governors from across the country here in Eagle Pass in Shelby Park inside the takeover zone, the zone that was taken over by the state of Texas a few weeks ago.

  • And what's extraordinary about this is that Governor Abbott and these governors are advocating for states to enforce immigration policy.

  • Now, what's extraordinary about that is that the US Supreme Court has upheld that immigration is a federal function pop quiz hotshot in 1998 the Good Friday agreement was signed to end a decades long struggle in this part of the United Kingdom, England, Northern Ireland, Wales or Scotland, the Good Friday Agreement or Belfast agreement brought an end to 30 years of violent conflict in northern Ireland that had come to be known as the troubles.

  • Now just a few days ago, Northern Ireland's first ever Irish nationalist, Michelle o'neill became the leader of the country's government.

  • Her party, Sinn Fein was once the political arm of the Irish army which sought to reunite with the rest of Ireland.

  • According to the Good Friday Accords o'neill will share power with a deputy first minister from the Unionist Party.

  • A group that desires to remain a part of the United Kingdom.

  • It's Katherine Samson explains how this new government hopes to serve all of Northern Ireland.

  • And it was a historic moment for Sinn Fein's Michelle o'neill cheered into the chamber by supporters the first nationalist or Republican to ever be appointed first Minister of Northern Ireland.

  • Today opens the door to a future, A shared future.

  • I am honored to stand here as first minister.

  • We mark a moment of equality and a moment of progress.

  • A new opportunity to work and to grow together this day.

  • She said would have been unimaginable to her grandparents made possible by the Good Friday Agreement.

  • Michelle o'neill's father was an Ira prisoner and she has attended memorials for former members, but she has pledged to show respect to the royal family and co-operate with colleagues who cherish the union.

  • This is an assembly for all Catholic protestant and dissenter.

  • I am sorry for all the lives lost during the conflict.

  • Without exception, the past cannot be changed or cannot be undone.

  • But what we can do, what we all can do is build a better future.

  • I will never ask anyone to move on, but I really do hope that we can all move forward.

  • The dup who collapsed Stormont exactly two years ago in protest over Brexit trade rules today, nominated a deputy First Minister, Emma Little Pinelli's family also has links to the troubles.

  • Her father was convicted for his role in a loyalist plot.

  • In her speech, she spoke of remembering the devastation from an Ira bomb Michelle o'neill and I come from very different backgrounds.

  • But regardless of that, for my part, I will work tirelessly to ensure that we can deliver for all in northern Ireland.

  • The post of deputy First minister has equal power but less symbolic weight.

  • Some unionists have found Michelle o'neill's appointment hard to bear.

  • We have a Sinn Fein first minister but not in my name nor in the name of thousands of unionists who will never bow the knee to Ira Sinn Fein.

  • It's been a very long road to reach this point but many hope it will be a platform to start fixing things today's story.

  • Getting a 10 out of 10 some dazzling new images from the James Webb space telescope.

  • It captured these 19 spiral Galaxies using near and mid infrared technology that highlights stars and glowing dust in a level of detail.

  • Astronomers have never seen before.

  • Now Galaxies come in all different shapes and sizes, right?

  • But spiral Galaxies are those that look like giant pinwheels.

  • They have these long arms reaching out of the bright center stars in the main ingredients to form them gas and dust are inside these arms.

  • Astronomers believe about 60% of all Galaxies are spiral shaped, including our very own galaxy.

  • The milky way I love space I wanted to put a mini observatory in my house, but the costs were astronomical.

  • So I just checked out a book on anti gravity.

  • I can't put it down.
