last year donald trump won many votes with anti immigrant rhetoric and a promise to build a wall one which mexico would be forced to pay for mexico's president enrique pena nieto has made it clear his country won't pay anything toward a wall it doesn't want. if the u.s. president's dream is to become a reality it needs to be funded by congress at least initially the trump white house remains confident that will happen the united states of america has a border the united states government has the control of that border and a responsibility to secure it we would expect to be fully successful in moving forward with our border wall as congress gives us the money to do so however california which is dominated by the opposition democratic party forms a potential legal bulwark against donald trump's plans ungodly amount of money would have to be used to be spent on

a wall that would be destructive to our environment destructive to our relationship with mexico california has sued to trump administration more than two dozen times over several other contentious proposals including over the ban on immigration from predominantly muslim countries now the state is fighting to deny trump's determination to leave a physical legacy of his presidency robert oulds al jazeera los angeles. howell for more now top story which is the u.n. general assembly it's been a busy few days in new york and president trump has brought a very different tone to this year's meeting for some insight on this as bring in monaco she is the legal advisor at the independent diplomat a non profit diplomatic advisory group she joins us live now from new york but i thank you for being with us so like we said all eyes were on trump speak like this here but while he bashed the u.n. is inefficient and anti american he does need u.n.

diplomacy to work more than any other u.s. president in recent memory considering the amount of crises we're seeing in the world today how do you think he's handled it so far. well i believe that there were two speeches going on yesterday i believe one was directed to his own people and to his constituency at home and the other was directed to the members of the general assembly and to the united nations at large within the lotter speech which is the issue of concern to the international community he did make several i think noteworthy reminders to the international community one is the sovereign state responsibility to each of its citizens and to especially its civilians that they will have the protection and the services of the state regardless of ethnicity and regardless of origin and religious affiliation that is certainly a worthy reminder to many heads of state around the world in the middle east and

africa in asia in south america and in the western hemisphere as well so that is something we certainly applaud mr trump for reminding all of us including his own leadership to respect the citizens of all of all faiths and all ethnicities the other reminder was that we need to work together to address issues of comments and concern ranging from and he didn't mention climate change but certainly i would like to include that among the list of global threats climate change as well as terrorism as well as the undeniable erosion of respect for international law that we see pervasive in conflicts including syria including yemen including mali including the obvious atrocities currently being committed in man maher the list goes on and on where both the state's responsibility to citizens is violated but also the international community's duty to step in to protect those civilians when their governments are either unable or unwilling or in fact the actual threat to their their own citizens is going unabated without any accountability and with

continued impunity. now let's just focus our attention on iran because that's been i think the hot topic off today many would think that considering the lines we saw for president but also from mr rex tillerson it seems as if the u.s. is very much isolated on the policy towards iran now as part of this multilateral agreement that it was supposed to have with the p five plus one well indeed it's not a one sided agreement but in fact a six sided agreement on one that has been endorsed by the security council one that has been a dear two by all parties thus far including the iranian party as opposed to to not only by the international community but by the u.s. administration so successively including this one if there were to be any breach of compliance that would certainly be a matter of concern to all of us including first and foremost in the region but beyond another sense of any such breach should be presented if such a breach is alleged before any action is taken ok now another interesting

conversation was the middle east peace process clearly we're now into the fifty's the occupation of west bank and i guess my question is president abbas seemed to be quite optimistic about meeting some sort of negotiation with the israelis also working with president trump but is there anything right now that you think the senate takes it's the beginning of talks for the process to begin. well i think president abbas has to be optimistic and has to be hopeful because that is really the only thing left for the palestinian people the international community has failed to. at least uphold its own resolutions resolutions of the security council calling for a two state solution with respect for peace and dignity and security of both a palestinian and an israeli state upholding the right of self-determination of both the jewish people on the palestinian people and time and time again those

words those promises have not been realized and the activities on. largely the israeli part but not exclusively on is really part have not been addressed correctly and or promptly and or effectively by the security council there is much ado about the resolutions focus on the israeli conflict there are however zero sanctions historically from the origins of this organization. the united nations that is are under the security council that effectively put pressure on israel or any other parties including hamas for their failures to respect either the resolutions or customary international law so despite the plethora of resolutions there are none that have in any way effectively held to account or held accountable any party that is in breach of security council resolutions ok i want to and i would actually much words of ten. thought please. you're

most welcome thank you so much i was actually going to recall the words of ted meron the president of the i.c.c. who has eloquently reminded the state of israel that it should end the occupation for the sake of israel and not for the sake of anybody else thank you very much kay we had a bit of a delay there but monica thank you so much for your time. right now as the governments of sudan and south sudan has signed an agreement to allow border trade between the the countries the deal includes a financially critical move to boost the south oil production and industry limited by the country's civil war have morgan reports now from khartoum. and economic lifeline that's what this agreement means to both sudan and south sudan. as a downer rosies there has always been cooperation between the two countries and this

of revenue and weakened its economy and twenty years of years sanctions on sudan have had a major impact but now border ports will be open for trade. the new trade cooperation agreement is needed by both sudan and south sudan both economies rely heavily on oil seventy five percent of sudan's fields were seized and gained independence six years ago but the pipelines and processing equipment in sudan are . from the south especially because civil war has stopped production and have its. analysts the the need of the two countries will guarantee the new remit is allowed to work. it's a complex situation with the two governments follow the agreement so don is suffering because of the sanctions and south sudan has suffered because of the simple rules impact on its economy to want to strengthen their economies to keep the governments in power power that may rely on how the neighbors move forward together people morgan al-jazeera khartoum the un's envoy to libya has
