at least seventy six people have been killed almost two hundred injured by face wildfires in the greek capital athens fear they may find more bodies in coastal areas devastated by the fire prime minister has declared a state of emergency in the area is announced three days of national mourning. and hundreds of people are reportedly missing in laos off the collapse of a hydropower sent a wall of water downstream flooding villages and sweeping away homes and emergency disaster zone has been to clades. mexico's incoming president says donald trump has warned him to speed up negotiations on the free trade agreement known as nuff the message was part of a letter from. google it was votes. in earlier this month warms the deal between mexico canada and the u.s. must be done quickly or have we consider america's options to it's all set to resume on thursday at funds worth is vice president of the council of the americas he's also former white house special envoy for the americas and he joins us on

skype from washington d.c. thanks very much for being with us what do you make of this lesson and this warning from donald trump well i think it's definitely a two sided message the first side is look welcome to the presidency of beck's ago we look forward to working with you across a range of issues responding to a letter the president elect of mexico sent to president trump but contained in the letter is the basis of some complications down the road particularly on the trade agenda and president trump essentially gave a warning to the president elect in mexico as you said laura if you don't come to an agreement quickly on nafta we the united states are going to have to change our approach that's awkward because the president elect of mexico isn't even on your read until december first so it's almost all he doesn't have any control over the pace of negotiations right now anyway so we're going to have to have to see how this plays out absolutely and when trump threatens a different path if these talks don't progress it will look different could he take

. well only the president would know that but certainly one option would be to withdraw from the north american free trade agreement all together and the president has threatened that many times don't forget the united states has our own mid-term elections in early november when the united states will be electing a new house of representatives and senate and for political purposes if the president feels the. u.s. participation and now we benefit him politically before those elections that's certainly a scenario and we have to remember again the president mexico wanting to be inaugurated until december first so this train may have already left the station by the time he's even in the presidential palace in the mexico i term has spoken will me of the president elect has an a but is this going to be an easy relationship with this leader he's pretty leftist well you know it's really interesting after the july first election both presidents are the president of the united states and president elect of mexico really made an intentional effort to reach to the other

they had a very friendly phone call it was reported the united states just sent a very senior level delegation to mexico city to meet with the president elect that's symbolically very important and it's very unusual usually the president elect of latin american countries come to washington not vice versa so they have both been taking concrete steps to try to get off on the right foot but at the end of the day there are still some very difficult issues between our countries not just trade but also immigration security drug trafficking you name it there are a number of big issues my hope is that this positive tone will carry through and really be the basis for cooperation going forward but that's by no means guaranteed and both presidents have strong personalities and they both have strong bases of political support that they're going to have to try to keep happy so this is not by a by any means a guaranteed smooth smooth relationship going forward and i absolutely will see out of the last hour thanks very much for joining us there from washington thank you. the mayor is in london for talks with the british prime minister he's met to ease

what lies between me behind the blockade it doesn't see any logical reason for the action but you must maintain good relations with all our states and that's why we are suggesting. kuwait is the best place to be the broker. qatar's charm offensive has been in full swing since the start of the gold prices it's become at a time when the country continues to face an embargo qatar's huge financial investments around the world along with its agreements to why have helped. with international political heavyweights and this is important for the gulf nation as the locating country. that uses the crisis. horse cars essential london. and as

as capital abuja. relationship between the executive and legislature in nigeria has been solid for a very long time and the genesis of it was the election of leadership of the of two chambers of parliament when an election is well won and lost in two thousand and fifteen the ruling party of the a.p.c. wanted sutton members to contest and win positions in the house of representatives and the senate but again there were some members of the ruling party including the senate present kind of senate president would defect it and some members of the party would join him in moving to all cross competition to another party went behind the scenes and struck a deal with members of the opposition then won some votes and then shed some seats in the senate especially and in the house of representatives that has angered the ruling party and that said this tool of friction between the party and then they just as well as the executive and the legislature and some of the highlights of

these squabble was the late passage of two thousand and seventeen and two thousand and eighteen budget the budget was just two months ago which of course even some problems of the executive highlighted now these supporters of these legislators who defected said they have the numbers to win elections with or without the ruling party the a.p.c. and mohamed behind it but supporters of mamata blood on the other hand feel that it was the behind what they call the blood tsunami that pushed some of these legislators into parliament in the frost place with the electorate not looking at their credentials but because blood was popular then so they voted them into parliament and they believe that these will not make any impact when the elections happen in the next six or seven months from now now the stew situation now is that what all of the they have the numbers to impeach the president if they want to lead out of a faction of the a.p.'s a.p.c. that he might just
