Melania Trump tours US-Mexico border region

US First Lady Melania Trump has toured a facility housing migrant children on the Texas border with Mexico.

It comes after President Trump ordered US federal agencies and departments to expedite efforts to reunite the children with their families.

After a huge public outcry, he reversed his administration's policy of separating children from their parents in an executive order on Wednesday.

There are estimated to be more than 23-hundred migrant children still being held without their families.

Our US correspondent Steve Mort says Mr Trump has also renewed attacks blaming his political opponents and Mexico for the crisis on the US border.
