             AP FACT CHECK: Trump misses mark on state of Mexico border
 FILE--In this March 13, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump talks with reporters as he reviews border wall prototypes in San Diego. In his threat Tuesday, April 3, 2018, to use the military on the U.S.-Mexico border until his promised wall is built, Trump again heaped blame on his predecessor, Barack Obama, and congressional Democrats for creating a dangerous and dysfunctional border. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, file) SAN DIEGO (AP) — In vowing Tuesday to use the military on the U.S.-Mexico border until his coveted wall is built, President Donald Trump heaped blame on his predecessor, congressional Democrats and Mexico for creating a dangerous and dysfunctional border. Here's a look at some of Trump's latest claims on the state of the border, including a caravan of Central Americans crossing Mexico, and how they stack up with the facts: TRUMP: "President Obama made changes that basically created no border. It's called catch and release. And we can't do anything about it because the laws that were created by Democrats are so pathetic and so weak." THE FACTS: Wrong on several fronts. In decrying what it calls "catch-and-release" policies, the White House cites a 2008 law that gave new protections to children who cross the border alone from countries other than Mexico or Canadá. But the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act passed both houses of Congress unanimously with Republican President George W. Bush's enthusiastic support. The administration also points to a settlement of a class-action lawsuit in 1997 that established standards for detention, treatment and release of children who cross the border alone. Those protections have been extended by federal judges several times.

Rugby Australia says it does not support the views of star player Israel Folau after he suggested that gay people would end up in hell.

The Wallabies player was widely criticised for the comment, which he wrote on Instagram on Wednesday.

Rugby Australia said it supported "all forms of inclusion", while major sponsor Qantas said Folau's opinion was "very disappointing".

Folau has not responded to the backlash.

Last year, Folau sparked disagreement within the national rugby union team after he tweeted about his opposition to same-sex marriage.

His latest comment was a response to an Instagram user who asked Folau: "What was god's plan for gay people?"

The player replied: "Hell... unless they repent of their sins and turn to God."

The comment has since been deleted, but screenshots of the exchange have drawn condemnation online.

Colombia launches census of Venezuelan migrants

Colombia began a two-month census of Venezuelan migrants on Friday in an attempt to oversee how many citizens from the neighboring country crossed the border due to a crisis.

The census is is supposed to allow both legal and illegal Venezuelan migrants to provide the government with confidential information to plan a possible permanent registration for migrants to stay in the country.

“The aim is to establish how many Venezuelans there are and  in which regions, for how long, under what conditions they live [and] whether they work or not,” Pereira immigration official Sandra Lorena Cardenas told newspaper El Otun.

“The aim is for the government to issue a package of humanitarian measures for the attention of their human rights,” according to Cardenas.

The United Nations’ refugee agency and the International Organization for Migration would be involved in the two-month process.

It remains to be seen how the government will incentivize irregular Venezuelans to participate in the census if migrants are concerned about being deported by authorities.

Especially in the border region, hundreds of Venezuelans were sent back after failing to present the adequate papers.

As of February, 171,984 Venezuelans had solicited the free special permit to stay (PEP), which allows them to stay up to two years, but many are afraid to apply because of the potential for trouble with the government.

“Many of the Venezuelan citizens have not done the procedure of the PEP because they are afraid of being deported or that something bad will happen because they go to the Colombian authorities,” said Daniel Pages, president of the Association of Venezuelans in Colombia.

Officials estimate the country could register 800,000 Venezuelans to stay in the country depending on the census results.

According to Migration Colombia, there were 550,000 Venezuelans in the country at the end of 2017. Other sources have said there could be more than a million in the country already.

Munoz said information gathered by the government “cannot be used” to enforce deportations.

The man, whose name and age were not immediately released, was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead.

The shooting follows a number of killings of unarmed black men by police.

Plastic bag litter in ocean has fallen since 5p charge
The results provide the clearest evidence to date that taxes and charges on single use plastic can help to protect the ocean from litter that kills whales, seabirds and other marine creatures.

Scientists at the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas), a government research agency, analysed the litter collected during almost 2,500 trawls by fisheries research vessels over the past 25 years, where nets were dragged along the seabed scooping up anything buried to a depth of 15cm.

In all areas around the UK, the likelihood of the nets bringing up plastic bags has more than…
