alone mexico has elected its first leftist president in more than thirty years manuel lopez obrador is claiming a historic victory arteries two main rivals both conceded in america and reports now from mexico city. times have been bridled violence and corruption mexicans have taken a leap of faith was a hero massacred nearly was we all want to be able to live and work in our country without being killed but lopez obrador we believe there will finally be real change was for the first time mexicans have chosen a left wing populist and the response. to beat them better known as he represents social change and up up all honesty. i know.

i will not let you down i will not disappoint you i am conscious of my historic responsibility i don't want to go down in history as a bad president. says he will begin by a radek adan corruption which he says is the principal cause poverty and violence but just went to college tuition expects you would see his ambitious goals this mystery because he has been trying to be short on details about how he wants to implement what he calls a radical transformation of mexico. he has explained that he'll pay for ambitious social programs and subsidies to the poorest with an estimated twenty five billion dollars he says corrupt politicians steal and that he'll even sell the presidential plane to save money. in his opponents say he has a messiah complex and warned that he will undermine the democratic institutions and send investors flee but for millions who voted for. he represents the change this

country desperately needs that the government cannot do it alone but the sea will say they cannot do it along either so we have to join forces in a vase is of honesty in a vase is a real fight against corruption and in a basis. the give us justice for all. of this all of that of course is easier said than done and given the extraordinary expectations he's awoken of those job will be all the more daunting. to see in human i'll just see the mexico city. of duncan wood is the director of the wilson center is mexico institute he says no preserve our doors victory is highly significant they see him as a man of the people they see it was somebody who's going to bring about real change in the country and change that will benefit them now one of the questions there where we need to find out the answer to is what kind of presidency if we about to

see is this going to be a traditional mexican presidency where not a lot changes or is he really going to deliver on the promises that he made in the campaign not just this campaign but campaign since two thousand two thousand and six two thousand and twelve where he's really been trying to get a message across the mexican people the he can be he is the bringer of change that he's somebody who can actually make their lives better the mexican political system like the american system is actually built on the idea of checks and balances the congress has the legislative branch is supposed to check the power of the executive branch in this case it's not going to happen we're really going back now to the old style of mexican politics we're looking at how the dream used to govern from the one nine hundred thirty s. through to two thousand when they had this kind of rubber stamp congress and this meant all of georgia who governs by the force of his own personality is going to be able to convince congress very easily to approve the legislation that he needs. a u.s. president don't trump was one of the first world leaders to react to the news he's tweeted congratulations to andreas and manuel lopez obrador on becoming the next

president of mexico i look very much forward to working with him there is much to be done that will benefit both the united states and mexico. justin trudeau offered his congratulations the two countries shared goals as well as their joint efforts to update the north american free trade agreement a syrian state media are reporting that rebels in another town in the southern provinces have surrendered to president bashar assad's forces. but some activists disputed a deal has been reached government forces retaken several towns and villages in recent days it's come of the cost of dozens of civilian deaths. has more from beirut in neighboring lebanon. the government has been taking ground from the opposition the military offensive began on june nineteenth the government

controlled thirty percent of the time it now controls. it is taking territory either through military means or some towns are falling. to reconcile with. the latest in a string of towns agreeing. to accept the return of state rule but other areas and other rebel factions are still holding out they are involved in negotiations with the russian military that are being mediated by jordan but up till this moment there has been no progress. the russian military is telling them is that you need to surrender to accept or just leave what the rebels are asking for and the opposition and. the civilian institutions can return to our area but the syrian army should stay out because we do not trust them so those.

fail to make any progress but these local deals and the ongoing offensive just puts a lot of pressure on the rebels and makes them really in a very weak position in the meantime. humanitary. suffering is only growing one hundred sixty thousand people according to the united nations have been uprooted a lot of them heading towards the border with jordan heading towards the border with the occupied golan heights they feel that they are safe in those areas and airstrikes the government will not target those areas with air strikes both jordan and israel have sealed the borders jordan saying that urgent medical cases can come into jordan we are going to bring aid to the syrian people but we cannot deal with a mass influx and instead we should be focusing on trying to reach a ceasefire and trying to find some sort of a deal to end this military offensive but like i mentioned up until now there is no progress. and overnight towns near the sniff syria's border with jordan were targeted in air strikes that continued until monday morning earlier jordan's newly

appointed prime minister visited one of the border crossings with syria to inspect deliveries the latest attacks are likely to force more civilians to flee to. feel the pain of our syrian brothers but we have jordanian priority needs its security and safety in the first place and secondly easing the economic crisis everybody knows the reality of our geographic location and the extremist organizations inside syria and we're not able honestly to take that risk and allow the. jordan is absolutely ready to present all kinds of support and humanitarian relief to our brothers and syria and this is been ongoing since yesterday. germany's interior minister has offered to resign rather than support chancellor angela merkel's new migration deal. has been discussing the agreement with his c.s.u. party in unix last week he threatened to turn asylum seekers away from germany

merkel had hoped the brussels deal with tougher measures on immigration would appease the c.s.u. domany cain has more from berlin. after a marathon session of talks in munich the c.s.u. meeting finally came to an end with no definitive statements about their way ahead we understand that having offered to resign as party chairman but also as interior minister hosts they hope for is now staking his political future on the possibility of being able to make one final compromise with the c.d.u. allies that's the party of angela merkel remember all this revolves around the c.s.u. wanting better to control the borders of germany and to be able to turn migrants back from the borders angela merkel's party has said that it doesn't really want to do that unilaterally that it would be dangerous it would in danger the e.u. wide solution that angle america arrived at in brussels with other member states last week at point here is the future of the coalition does the c.s.u.

want to stay in government and exempt most of what it wanted or does it want to pursue the philosophical purity of its position and risk falling out of government those are the questions that will need to be answered on monday in order for this scenario to play itself out to a final outcome the u.s. envoy to the philippines has met north korean officials in the demilitarized zone that's according to south korean media is laying the groundwork for an upcoming visit to the north by u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o last month the united states and north korea agreed to pursue the denuclearization of the korean peninsula president trump says north korea is very serious about the plan but his national security adviser is taking a more reserved stance. and we're very well aware of north korea's patterns of behavior over decades of negotiating with the united states we know exactly what the risks are of them using negotiations to drag out the length of time they have

to continue their nuclear chemical biological weapons programs and ballistic missiles the president would like to see these discussions move promptly to get a resolution this is been the advice that china's leaders are paying has given us as well so we're going to try and proceed to implement what the two leaders agreed to in singapore but rather than have a series of reports that things are going better things are not going well there are concealing this they're not concealing that really it doesn't serve the purpose of advancing the negotiations but there's not any any story a. feeling among the group doing this that we're well well well aware of what the north koreans have done in the past a u.s. companies are beginning to feel the sting of tariffs they've been imposed by countries around the world interest tally ation for steel and al a million levees put in place by the trumpet ministration new measures are hitting particularly hard in the american midwest and that's not an accident as john

hendren reports now from milwaukee in wisconsin. in the american heartland a budding global trade war is already sowing turmoil almost every manufacturer is affected here walky exports about ten billion dollars of goods and services a year employing about sixty thousand people so that uncertainty causes a challenge for us because it hits us in the cost of raw materials coming in and markets that these companies are exploiting out to milwaukee based harley davidson once invited to the white house by president trump now says he cannot afford to ride out european terrorists that add twenty two hundred dollars to each of its iconically american motorcycles so it's planning to shift production to thailand and across the midwestern u.s. farmers many who voted for donald trump are feeling the pain of chinese tariffs the airport producers are no longer competitive on the world market so if it comes in

to china ours are now more expensive therefore they would pick their port from some other place america's trade partners chose their targets carefully the retaliatory tariffs other countries have put in place were specifically designed to hurt donald trump where it counts among the farmers and manufacturers of electoral swing states like wisconsin he was the first republican to win here since ronald reagan in one thousand nine hundred four and he wants his party to win again in the november midterm elections and in his own reelection campaign in two thousand and twenty the trade shift began with president trump raising tariffs on steel and aluminum a move particularly aimed at china part of the reason the u.s. side is really raising the temperature is trying to exact concessions from the chinese side in particular so a lot of those some of it may be bluffing that they bluffing is that you know bluff me you call it but over the last. both sides really escalate that could now

be very damaging. to trade but of course to business. jobs president trump insists that privately u.s. competitors are ready to negotiate an end to the cherubs they're going to say let's talk frankly don't tell them i said it but they already have don't ever tell them i said that they'll screw up my negotiations. until those negotiations end the tariff dispute many american manufacturers and farmers are focusing their energy on simply surviving john hendren zero milwaukee. still ahead on al-jazeera the u.n. secretary general visits bangladesh for a firsthand look at the range of crises and in northern thailand the search goes on for a group of teenagers trapped in a flooded cave. i

chancellor angela merkel's new migration deal horst has been discussing the agreement with his party in munich. by u.n. secretary general antonio. bangladesh for his first visit to camps hosting about one million refugees from neighboring myanmar the bangladeshi government is pushing for more support for tens of thousands of the refugees whose camps are at risk of being washed away in the monsoon season. has more. this visit by the u.n. secretary general is really meant to highlight to the international community just how dire conditions still remain for the remainder refugee population here in cox's as are this is a population nearly a million people that is already extremely vulnerable and they're only becoming more vulnerable now because of conditions like the weather just today while we've been reporting on what's going on there been touring chill down worries and that

really highlights the fact that for many of the indirect you g.'s who live in areas of the camp this makeshift sprawling camp like this one if you took along many of them live on hillsides on muddy hillsides devoid of vegetation and so when it rains that really makes the landscape prone for landslides there are already been landslides this year and the aid workers that we've been speaking with say that they expect that there will be more that is why many of them are describing the situation here as an emergency within an emergency now the secretary general has been touring a part of the camp in which they have been building new facilities new housing facilities new huts more secure for tens of thousands of remains are refugees from the areas of the camp where they were most prone to having difficulties dealing with the elements he's also going to be speaking a little bit later in the day with a refugee community leaders and we expect it to be a very interesting discussion because there has been growing concern amongst the

religious community members here about what exactly the stance of the u.n. is when it comes to the issue of their citizenship there has been a memo of understanding that's been signed between the united nations and the mean more government that's trying to lay the groundwork for at some point in the future possibly returning to me and more there is concern that the u.n. is not doing enough to ensure that we're going to refugees would be able to get citizenship. and it's been nine days since a youth football team went missing in a flooded cave in northern thailand is. in the main passageway inside the cave with twelve boys and their missing navy seals aiming for assange the chamber they believe may have retreated to about one thousand people taking part in the rescue effort has more from china. the focus on monday our dive teams now we know overnight from sunday to monday the dive teams led by the tide navy seals were

able to get within five hundred meters of potty a beach section of the cave system now that's a section a cavern if you will named after a famous speech here in thailand that's where they believe the boys and their coats are so all the focus has been on getting the dive teams closer and closer and closer now we know that the pumps just operating so hopefully that water level is still decreasing there was no rain overnight there's no rain so far yet on monday so the hope is that they can get those dive teams further in you can hear that engine behind me that's where the dive teams are headquartered they're filling those tanks as quickly as they can those air tanks so soon as teams come out they can replenish the air and get them back in or new team members come in and then they can give them air and get straight in so that's where the focus is today now also up on the top of the hill they're trying to get in three days separate areas u.s. military personnel are helping high officials to rescue officials through and get in there even using a backhoe up there to try to get into the cave from that way now as far as the family members go you know the boys have been missing now ten days this operation

in all its intensity is going on for nine days now we just saw a mother of one of the boys who we spoke with a couple days ago she walked up to give us kind of the signal that she's staying strong we know that a lot of these family members have kind of come together and are feeding off each other strength after the first couple of days where they're very distraught and kind of into themselves now they're really kind of holding things together but again today on monday all focus all focus on these dive teams getting closer to the party beach section of this cave system. one of france's most notorious criminals is on the run again off on men landed a helicopter in a paris prison coolio and carried him away and then one fayed was serving a twenty five year sentence for robbery and the mud of a policewoman in two thousand and ten had to come to a pile of was taken hostage at gunpoint been laid to freed without being heard on the first time fayed as a scapegoat from prison twenty thirteen for gods were taken hostage before he used dynamite to blow his way out. a u.s. president donald trump has accused the oil cartel opec of manipulating markets the

u.s. is not part of the fifteen member group of president trump is pressuring its ally and opec's top producer saudi arabia to increase its oil output it interview on fox television trump said opec better stop because the u.s. was protecting many of the members. a new government plans to raise the pension age in russia are provoking mass protests opposition leader alexina rani is adding to the demands for a rethink challenge reports from moscow. things aren't going so well for. right now the fifty four year old construction foreman has built many of moscow's recent apartment complexes but his advancing age means he started losing contracts to younger workers and the recently announced retirement age hike means he won't get his pension at sixty any more he's got to wait to be sixty five or so from.

among the people i know everybody is shocked because people have planned their lives and know they'll have to replan it for another five years at least i'll have to downgrade myself of expectations to find work the boss isn't interested in having older people if there's a forty year old available even if he has fewer skills on sunday opposition leader alexina valmy called thousands of people onto the streets in cities across russia labor unions are mobilizing for protests to pension reform is almost uniformly unpopular more than two million people have signed a petition against it and ninety two percent of russians recently polled said they opposed it but with an aging population and the demographic hole left after the birth rate lapsed following the fall of the soviet union it means that the pressure on the state pension fund is unsustainable russia is approaching a situation where for every working age adult there is one dependents be that

pension or child reform has been put off for years but with the presidential election safely out of the way and the country distracted by the world cup the government feels that the time is as good now as it's ever likely to be the kremlin has tried to keep its distance from the pension reform fallout but approval ratings are still taking a hammering public confidence in bloody mia putin has sunk to the lowest it's been since the two thousand and fourteen an accession of crimea gave his popularity a boost those who the government's a much worse political scientist. thinks there. could be trouble ahead for russia's leadership according to their popular scheme where the president is responsible for all the external policy victories and the government is responsible for all the internal policy losses so far it has been a success. for will be are passed off this scheme such a test as it happens. although the polls suggest popular anger is rising some older

russians aren't sure where to direct this and they don't like what they see on state television of uprising in countries like ukraine yet when is the real deal with power i wouldn't participate in a valley because our society is not ready for volleys the leaders who organize them are not real leaders people won't follow them i think for the last ten years people got used to a calm life and we see the experience of former soviet republics we don't want to have the same after the world cup is over it's entirely possible a compromise on this deeply unpopular reform will be announced for now the kremlin is watching carefully to see how far it can push it and where the public breaking point is it will reach alan's down to zero mosque or. a private company in japan is investigating what caused a rocket to explode seconds off the lift off the ten metre craft developed by interstellar technologies hit the ground shortly after taking off the company has
