new fed chair not many people will care there is a new fed chair but the position holds enormous power over pensions over savings and over job prospects across the united states the fed steers economic policy in the u.s. while it sets interest rates its job essentially is to maximize employment and stabilize prices and janet yellen to control in twenty fourteen the u.s. was through the watched of the financial crisis in a first year g.d.p. the best way to measure a country's economy was a two point six percent unemployment was six percent inflation was point seven percent according to the latest figures g.d.p. is up to three percent unemployment is down four point two percent and inflation is just half of one percent with a record like that many observers doubt there will be radical change with a new person in charge it seems in appointing power it's going to continue. the third will continue in its route of pursuing lower interest rates and the president

of supporting rebels in each other's territory morgan has the latest from khartoum after two days of talks on consultations the sudanese president omar bashir and his sausage news counterpart salva kiir have agreed to some points they've talked about oil resumption in south sudan's former united states our production has been cut down in south sudan by more than half since conflict broke out in twenty thirty in the country as well as establishing a demilitarized borders on between the two countries more than sixty percent of the border between the two countries are yet to be demarc ated and this has caused a lot of tension between the two countries in south sudan gained independence in twenty eleven but perhaps the most important agreement comes in terms of supporting rebels in each other's soil. we in sudan have decided not to support any armed group and to move in a positive direction with the countries this issue has taken us a long time and we have been patient with a lot of violations from the other side till they were assured that what we promised has been implemented and the result is that we now have a stable and secure border. now if they are started miserables in sudan or sudanese

rebels in south sudan this agreement or pledge would make them very vulnerable because it would mean that they have to go back to the country whose government they're fighting and it would also mean that they would get no supply of arms from any side making them vulnerable to the government that they are fighting throughout the past decade more than eight hundred journalists have been killed while doing their jobs three of the cases have ever been solved and in mexico two thousand and seventeen is said to be a record year for the number of journalists murdered john holdren reports. eleven killed so far this year just for doing their jobs because one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists among them about there is a middle of a breach internationally renowned reporters who investigated government corruption and organized crime now they're gone but it's not just that there that's worrying press freedom groups it's what comes after after half year was worth it even in these two high profile cases months later still no one's been arrested one of the

main consequences of the impunity is that journalists start censoring themselves they stop reporting on organized crime to stop reporting on corruption and as a result the entire areas in mexico basically have no serious journalistic coverage or if that's the gate of journalism go. free speech groups estimate that ninety nine point seven percent of verbal or physical attacks against journalists go on punished in mexico. ricardo sanchez is the special prosecutor for crimes against free speech in the last six years it's only been three convictions what's going on . this is a very complicated issue the federal government and attorney general's office know we face a big challenge in beating the impunity. we created a group to execute arrest warrants with the federal police and get people before a judge so we're doing important work i recognize we've got a long way to go we're working hard with the state governments. cinna lower stay in
