sees this as an attack on media freedom professional journalism and the basic tenets of the rights of people to know and on the stand the reality of what's happening in sudan and that's what the poles the decision than this shows its audience is in so that in globally that it will continue its coverage of sudan despite this political interference by the sudanese authorities david shinn is a former deputy chief of mission at the u.s. embassy in sudan he says the fact that talks are continuing is cause for optimism this is only one of a long series of incidents that have occurred sense the demonstration broke out on april 6th i would indicate i would suggest that it is a setback but probably not a serious one both the transitional military council on the one hand and the protest group led by the sudanese professionals association on the other has gone through a number of these episodes of both are done here both are any committed for the

long term the 2 sides have not yet reached agreement on how to divide up power or indeed what even the timeframe with before turning power over to civilian authority but the fact that the talks are ongoing i think has a relatively positive development when you can the final analysis they have and they actually will be successful the greater concern here would be at least some of the individuals who are involved in the transitional military council over asserting their authority. assuming that they can outwait the protesters and i think they're wrong if they are making that assumption. mexico's president once talks with washington after dark trump said he'll tax goods from mexico unless it stops illegal immigration the u.s. president posted this video on twitter said to show $1000.00 migrants trying to

cross the border trump says the 5 percent tariff will be enforced from june the 10th east asia. we will not keep our arms crossed until june the 10th to see if he was serious or not but i do trust this is something which is not meant to be enacted because it would be very grave i do joe castro has the details from washington d.c. . the threat and terror of mexican goods would jump to 25 percent by october if according to the trump administration mexico has not complied with this demand to deport more central american migrants now that would have a catastrophic effect on the economy on both sides of the border mexico export of $346000000000.00 of goods to the united states last year half of that was accounted by auto parts and machinery which are both vital to the manufacturing sector of

u.s. workers which trump has said he wants to support it start only that on this day when the white house sent to the congress a plan to ratify the new nafta agreement now called the u.s. mexico canada agreement which took years of negotiations to work out that it appears the white house also unilaterally on the single day may be tearing up that work with these threatened tariffs which ironically that trilateral agreement is working to curb so the real question is whether or not these tariffs truly will happen whether this is an empty threat or realistic it's the same question we asked ourselves a few months ago when trump had threatened to close the entire southern border in response to the migrant crisis he never did that rather he claimed without providing evidence that mexico had stepped up in its immigration enforcement against central americans and it is telling that in this renewed threat of tariffs

on mexico there is nothing in the ultimatum that says to mexico what it needs to accomplish to avoid these tariffs so it opens the door again for the trumpet ministration to claim a victory while d in essence still avoiding the tariffs if it so chooses and in the process scoring political points with the base. well still ahead i'll just 0 per i'm a big sin so. africa putting their lives on the line to help patients in cape town . how the river danube is running high in fact much of its length has been lashed by pretty heavy rain in the last 24 hours the sun its circulation shows you a big sandstorm here the wind that's rumania but hungry is also been battered quite

increased every month it's inside story now stay with us. as politicians and washington fights over the border war we talked to the people at the center of the story many up then just said oh no it's very dangerous because since the money comes it's not it's a very safe place migrants smugglers and people who live along the border. are all just 0. paise famous for political maneuvering yet benjamin netanyahu failed to cobble together a coalition government in israel now new elections will be held the 2nd in just 5 months but will anything change can a new vote shift the balance of power this is inside story.

hello everyone i'm come all santa maria welcome to inside story well he worked right up until the whedon's day midnight deadline but netanyahu just couldn't make it happen nearly 2 months after the israeli election and there is no workable coalition meaning the knesset the israeli parliament has been dissolved and there will be another vote on september 17th that means 3 months of campaigning of political uncertainty and of course no guarantee the next result will be any clearer now we discuss the election results back in april on this program and we've got something special lined up for this edition more on that in a moment after this report from harry force that investors i'm. but after a bruising final day trying to magical last minute coalition deal benjamin netanyahu is face said it all he'd failed. israeli parliament and netanyahu urging voted to dissolve itself and take israel into an unprecedented 2nd

election in the same year it's now his best hope of cleaning on to power but he insisted voters shouldn't blame him the blame belongs to his former defense minister avigdor lieberman. it is just unbelievable just unbelievable avigdor lieberman is now part of the left he is from the left blog you give him votes for the right and he doesn't give his spoke to the right wing government this is what we see. lieberman needs a secular party opposed to what he calls attempts to make israel a religious state he was insisting on the passage unchanged of a bill that would increase the numbers of ultra-orthodox jews being drafted for national service the ultra-orthodox parties also a key part of any right wing coalition want the law softened the women held firm and the coalition was doomed liquid. the liquid has spilled in this task to form a coalition to form a government together with their turn to the altar orthodox they bear full

responsibility the fact that israel is now going back once again to an election failure to form a coalition would usually put the question back in the hands of the israeli president he would then select a member of the knesset in all likelihood a different one and give that person a chance to form a government but these aren't normal times benjamin netanyahu is facing pending indictments in 3 separate corruption cases in order to give him the best chance of fighting that off only the top job will do last weekend tens of thousands took to the streets of tel aviv for a rally against netanyahu is apparent attempt to legislate immunity from prosecution and ensure the courts couldn't overturn such a law once passed with his 1st indictment hearing june october even if he wins the september election and manages to form a government and he hopes of ensuring immunity will be seriously dented it might make it harder for him but he's. very.

strong. heikki political capabilities so it's not his last word for sure he will try to maneuver opposition leader benny gantz says the elections are all about netanyahu is bid to survive prosecution against a 1000000000 people but. really this is all happening for only 2 words only 2 words legal fortress there is no other reason here. dance was mocked for declaring. victory early on election night in april but now it's clear netanyahu. will premature the fight he thought he'd won 7 weeks ago as months left to run. out west jerusalem just want to have a quick look now at some numbers the kind which show us just how fragmented israeli politics is and why netanyahu couldn't bring enough factions together now you've got 1st of all he's really be tenured headed by the former defense minister avigdor lieberman it is a secularist nationalist far right party it has 5 seats in the parliament you've

got the ultra orthodox parties and successive governments have needed their support this time netanyahu is looking for their 16 seats 7 of those from the united torah judaism party headed by the deputy health minister. and also the shas party led by the interior minister are a dairy with another 8 seats netanyahu did manage to get them all on board but differences between some of those parties particularly over the issue of the ultra orthodox men in the military meant a consensus just couldn't be reached. now we're going to do something a little unusual for this show say on april 10 which was one day after the election i was sitting in this very same chair and our discussion that day was about the results of the israeli election you can see for yourself that al jazeera dot com it is called what kind of government will take power in israel that seeing no government has taken power we have decided to assemble the same panel from that

april 10th show to try to piece together what happened or indeed what didn't happen and here they are we starting in tel aviv with a keeper elder israeli columnist monitor in london is your c. michael berg a professor in international relations at regents university and in west jerusalem mitchell barrett the c.e.o. of global research and an advisor to the former israeli president shimon peres gentlemen welcome back to inside story. we got the band back together for this one and it puts me in the position which a host loves and then i can throw old answers back at you and we can pitts piece this all together basically so i keep elder let me start with you. a month and a half ago you told me benjamin netanyahu is a magician he can play the big hero and the master he convinced israel that he is the number one diplomat well it didn't work out that way did it i was wrong.

after all you know even though magicians like me can. be wrong and when it comes to israeli politics. it is very difficult to even predict the past. and. i think that the maybe the only individual in israel that is not surprised from what happened is a regular liberman. who turns out to be going to a magician there now and then you know but. let's meet again. they are after the next elections september 18th and see what happens that new fish and danielle is still around and i believe that is going to break their chances to still be with us oh believe me i've already got the 3 of you penciled in for september 18th don't worry about that you'll see make up let me come to you you

called benjamin netanyahu a skilled very skilled politician he knows how to play his audiences in your opinion what went wrong here or was it simply that the other forces were almost working against him. it's nice to know that i'm in good company a cuba can be honed as well as i can get it sometimes honk too but you know he's a skillful politician but you know i'm talking about magicians every houdini reaches one look too far and maybe this is the case of nathaniel here but this was in nick set of circumstances because in the kind of normal abnormal situation condition in israel you need to do this kid from this or from the go shooting we've different parties we've different interest then you'll somehow school many many many many circuits but here there was something in addition which probably beyond the time you know which is is personally into this and this time you have to overcome not only this political survival but the survival out of cotton out of

jail and this forced to be this weakness because you concentrated probably too much on trying to weaken the the supreme court tie to pass legislation that would gun to mean immunity and you also forget the tough the you know so long in politics everyone even if you'd been not only a magician but an angel you build yourself a position and some enemies in politics and liberal money is not an easy enemy to have in politics mitchell barak in west jerusalem your turn you actually said i wouldn't call him a magician you disagreed with the other 2 you said because there's actually no illusion or sleight of hand about what he does he said you know what you see is what you get with benjamin netanyahu you also called him one of the most skilled leaders in the world how is it then similar question to yossi that one of the most skilled politicians in the world could pull together a coalition in one and a half months well he's one of the skilled leaders in the world many he still you know even when he you know gave his concession speech last night after the knesset

fell he said you know i have this whole you know trilateral israel russia united states meeting taking place in israel which no one knew about so on that framework of the international framework i still think he's one of the most skilled people. it has the best relationships in this world today with putin and with trump which where i think you know we're seeing him you know in the magician is really sleight of hand it's not necessarily he makes it look a particular way but we've seen what i can say is typical that and you know having worked for the guy for 4 years much earlier in his career and then following him you know since then he operates in a certain chaos you know he way he always waits until the last minute is a total mess that's involved in it and he really called polygon and then out of that mess he gets everyone together i mean even now where he was playing people off of each other right up to the deadline he still hadn't spoken to any of the likud ministers minutely cooed all of likud ministers and want to be ministers we're all

in the dark up until this point that's something you want to close before you swear in your government to make sure you have every single person on your side and he didn't do that and what he does is it creates a certain pressure among his likud ministers to vote with him among the other people he likes to have these deadlines where he's forcing some compromise usually it works he came up against lieberman who wanted to take this as an issue and he was going to go all the way and you know having most of netanyahu is nemesis is and politics are enemies and politics are people that have worked with him you know who had another party bennett who had another party lieberman who had another you know who has another party they will work with him and they know how he operates and given the chance of actually defeating him sometimes he'll do that so it shouldn't all this chaos that you described michel and on top of that we can add the chaos of dissolving the knesset and calling you elections shouldn't all that sort of raise the question about whether he is the right person to lead israel into another

election 3 months down the road or is he just if you want the cult of personality now well i think you know i think what he said was correct when he put his personal interest here way. above maybe what the national interest because normally he could go back to the president say he possibly needs an extension some more time he didn't want to chance it because he you know thought there would be a game here where the president would say you had your turn now many give it to someone else and he was also afraid that it might go to someone else in the likud the most interesting thing that happened in this whole episode was the ireland paid basically said to the likud they said let's form a national unity government any one bit nuts and you know pick whoever you want and more and with you it's almost like he gave the keys to the ballot see the bounty shipped to the likud to the engine room and said why don't you have your own mutiny and they could have had a rebellion they could have had a revolt but they did and you know that's where the problem is when that's and you

know as it became a personal thing where he said if i'm not going to be prime minister i'm going to go to elections again he had a lot of options he could have gone to the opposition to the blue and white party and said hey here's the government let's figure out what to do because it's not in anyone's best interest to go to elections michel and you'll see of raise this issue of netanyahu the prime minister the man putting himself above the policy and the country akiva eldar in tel aviv how much of that do you think comes down to the fact that in i think it's early october yes october 2nd prime minister netanyahu is due to appear for a pre indictment hearing over bribery and corruption charges i mean all of this happening at the same time you know and i think it's. very interesting question because i believe that many people who voted for that we could trusted that in ateneo was telling them the truth. when he said that he is

not going to ask for immunity and not play those dirty tricks of. foaming of personally loss and fighting with the supreme court and doing everything to undermine the israeli democracy there are only just people who believe that it's democracy is about all in israel who hated what they saw and i think that there will be pressure more and more pressure from the constituency on the attorney general to stop this madness i don't have any other definition to what's happening it's chaos it's madness and it's. maybe something else that starts with c. it's what we can you know is doing is corrupting the israeli society and i think

that this is going to be the ultimate test for the very conspicuous either the israeli people and to the tourney general this was the 1st time that we saw the supreme court justice the president of the supreme court judges making very clear statements. about the conduct of the prime minister we saw more than 50000 people are saturday. in a rally and there will be more of that so i think that there is a moment to and if you ask people in the street what they think about what happened in the last 24 hours they will say they want to see something else and this is why i'm saying that i was wrong when i said the baby is is i'm. you shouldn't be squaws he was trusting i think a little bit too much he went a bit too far with distrust of his power and the need of

these really people to have a king say so i think general we get this message you'll see your thoughts on that do you think the attorney general will get that message because. and i think i actually asked you this on our last show i think i said shouldn't the issue of a prime minister. being under bribery and corruption clouds shouldn't that have been a much bigger election issue i would suggest this time especially with it all happening so close to the next election that with election it will be. well going back to your earlier question is he the right person or the wrong person things the one person to lead the country for so many reasons not only their co-option but this is a major issue co-opts is a cave said. the country the political system and obviously this weakness and vulnerability of him is for everyone to see the minute that blue and white party said we are not going to join your. crypt coalition with the likud because of the

allegations it gave so much power to other small parties because almost the natural cause will be between the likud and the blue and whites a party but this couldn't happen with if there is any courageously the within the likud party it is ready to say that the king has no clothes and there is time for for change and in the next election to lead the electorate to go beyond oprah think beyond beyond the 20 out there is a great chance but they're at the heart of fate you know going back to what netanyahu said himself about a prime minister can stay in office when there is such a serious indictment and court cases against them and the indictment the potential pending hearing against it are now a way most severe than there have been against all meant. let's go back to mitchell american with terrorism has been know you've been noting a way that i i think you're probably the closest to his ready politics and the personalities in the people do you think that there is anyone as you'll see

describe who would be willing to put a hand up or at least a cold netanyahu out and say no we need to do this differently and not within the likud and not at this point meaning that if you look at the history of likud it's quite interesting unlike labor which changes chairman party chairman every 18 to 24 months meaning basically since 1977 there's really been only 4 or 5 people who have been head of the likud party menachem begun yet scott air benjamin ateneo he resigned ariel sharon and then back to benjamin and you know likud will stick with their leadership they will stick with them through thick and thin and the thing for likud they're still travel many of the likud people they're already 2nd or 3rd generation from pre-one 1977 when many of them were discriminated against especially those from the lower social economic sector who are sephardic jews rafi jews from arab countries meaning so getting power is really important maintaining

it is really important and many of them believe that netanyahu narrative which which it was talking about which is corrosive to devour prosy which is the media is controlled by the left the court is controlled by the left even the police are controlled by the left of center the the police all of these things the universities now if you saw on its own now last night who came on looking really worse than he's been before almost like a wounded animal what was the biggest insult he could say to a vet lieberman he is from the left and he went to his voters and said he's from the right but he is really from the left like that is the greatest curse that you could say to someone who is a right of center likud person so he creates this fear of of the left and was. able to put on the tail so they'll stick with him and again you know him he's always going to run a negative campaign whether it's you know for sure teacher threat or from the

internal threat and he's putting himself it in 1st by saying they're trying to take me down they can't do it in the ballot box so that's why we have to vote and vote stronger for the likud and there is no one short answer to your question there are in many many good and qualified candidates it only could that take it over given the chance although i have more experience than when it's a now came in in 1906 but none of them have the same kind of killer instinct than that and yeah did when he came to take over the likud and none of them will do anything to rebel against ateneo at this point interesting high tech wants oh go ahead and false will show they're not coming out is becoming a lawyer realty to the likud and they're going to lose in the next elections and maybe there will be a baby that one of them that they will say that the king is naked and let's put an end to this as long as they can you know can deliver the goods to the other people

who are most of them but there are some people that you don't sow and others and once they will see the polls will be very clear about it that people are sick and tired of hearing then perhaps there will be renewed. final thoughts because we're starting to run out of time but i want to ask about the opposition benny gantz and his blue and white coalition let's we forget they got $31.00 seats in the 1st election they weren't that far behind netanyahu and they could see is this now a big opportunity for them to actually springboard you know it's a springboard to go form and actually you know pick up some seats here i think there are many within the israeli political system the opportunity which goes back to your previous question i think anyone from the likud that won't take this opportunity to challenge netanyahu whether it's difficult or no doesn't deserve to leave the country the country is in a junction of history they do need courageous people to come and say what need to be said about the future of the country on so many different issues the same goal

for the opposition the blue and white is not a it's it's a coalition of these and they're not even sure about whether they're going to one together and who's going to be leading the disparity in the going to keep their what taishan but yes i think the departed from the center center left the labor party together from its about the they should think what is the best way to gain and to create this major 61 seats that they can actually lead in the next coalition but for that they need to bring probably more people and convince and most importantly not to not to fight with the likud party not to campaign and don't have to actually present a real turkey of not in terms of personalities but in terms of platform in the ideology final thought then and this is looking forward as we did last time looking forward so this idea of an election in september is there not a risk that the israeli public will get fed up with all of this and that they might

not turn out to the polls as much or be they might turn out to the polls and the result will be even less conclusive even more fractured than the vote in april was a keeper. yeah i believe the worst of all that the turnout will be much lower 1st of all this is an eye season people travel this is the high holidays in israel and . the people that will show up and this goes to your question about the u.n. why i think that this world work more for blue and white and people from the left who will be more motivated to change as i said before to change the reality and to change the political map and to bring some hope and not to have more of the same and i think this can be against it and you know and the other thing is that what we saw last saturday is i'm president we saw the leaders

of blue and white standing side by side with the leader of an arab party was i'm an orbit and perhaps this opens an opportunity for a collision or for partnership not only between blue and white label and merit maybe even some kind of an alliance with the arab parties and maybe this down the our own. constituency of these really are obscure will be more energetic and their turnout will go up it's going to be fascinating the votes on september 17th so gentlemen i will see you on september 18th i hope akiva eldar yossi makeover and michel barak thank you and thank you for watching today there is more online and out of the red dot com inside stories in the show section if you want to check out our other editions our also at facebook dot com for slash i j inside story on twitter at a.j. inside story and i met. one message me directly to from the whole team thanks for joining us to say you can send.

self-sufficient businesses looking for work independently but for some it's not enough. al-jazeera. signs of division arab leaders meet to discuss security and the role of iran in the region. and saudi foreign minister says a solution to the gulf crisis is possible if carter comes back to what he calls the right path.

is a dan this is a live from also coming up so dan's military council calls the protests outside army headquarters a threat to the country and shuts down the serious bureau in khartoum disastrous and very grave mexico responds to new terrorists announced by the u.s. president in a move to halting legal immigration. now there are signs of division between arab leaders over how to deal with iran after an emergency summit in saudi arabia the gulf cooperation council and the arab league have largely backed saudis condemnation of to iran but iraq rejected the final statement as prime minister was also there was the 1st high level meeting

with blockading nations in nearly 2 years about a report. a rare moment between qatar and saudi arabia. qatar prime minister. greeted by saudi king solomon binoculars he's in mecca at the kingdom is hosting emergency meetings of the gulf cooperation council the organization of the islamic conference and the arab league to counter what they say is iran's growing influence but the saudis who are eager to show they have wider backing face a daunting task and the blockade imposed sr $1017.00 the thai prime minister is seen here shaking hands with the king of bahrain another blockade in country and then the kuwaiti amir steps in trying to bring the saudi king and qatar to prime minister to engage in further talks that might ease tension

and bring harmony to a d.c. in disarray king said man made it clear in his opening speech that he sees iran as the biggest threat to stability in the region. the iranian regime interfered in our internal affairs and developed holistic and nucular weapons it affects navigation in international oil this is a naked aggression against our stability and international security. but for the saudis to build a coalition against iran they need to and the impasse created by the to see quite the diplomatic spat started with saudi arabia bahrain the u.a.e. and egypt sever ties with qatar imposed a land sea and blockade the blockading water accuse qatar of supporting extremism accusations strongly dismissed but the target government kuwait is mediating in the conflict and the u.s. is concerned the feud might undermine its efforts to isolate iran and defeat icily

in the middle east that i think is flawed from the state flawed because in one sense. they don't want to talk to iran iran has asked for a dialogue and they don't want to sit on the table and talk to your own and sort out all the issues that we have with the iran on the other hand they are instead of uniting and unifying the gulf region to stand with a block of solid block they are actually dividing it into different countries they are this integrating. regional organization the g.c.c. there are conflicts within between the g.c.c. member states the blockade against qatar you can't have one group standing against your own if you want to push back in one sense and this and this group is this united and this is this fragment that at the end of the meetings the g.c.c.

and the arab league expressed support for saudi arabia against what they described as iran's destabilizing activities in the region as a diplomatic boost for saudi arabia but also a period to more tension in the region. while the qatari prime minister's participation in the meetings is significant saudi arabia's foreign minister says there's still no solution to the blockade. of her the qatar participated in previous summits so it is not new it is true this time they were represented by the prime minister of the saudi stance like the other countries is that we are looking for a solution for the cause of the problems and the crisis between these countries and qatar hopefully there will be a solution if it comes back to the right path. is in the array in the end capital in teheran strong words from saudi arabia how is iran responding to it.

well we're seeing a lot of strong reaction this friday matching a lot of the rhetoric that happened in saudi arabia yesterday iran's foreign minister spokesman abbas mousavi said this morning that he regretted the saudi arabian leaders misuse of the opportunity to host the organization of islamic cooperation as a way as a platform for the spread of what he called divisive policies iran's foreign ministry has rejected and condemned allegations that iran is interfering in its neighbors affairs and iran has said that it knows that saudi arabia does not speak necessarily for all the countries in the middle east a nod to its friends iraq qatar equate and oman and as far as the issue of interference iran's involvement in yemen and in other conflicts in the region came up we've been hearing strong words from a recently promoted deputy commander of the islamic revolutionary guard corps mr

ali father of the and i'll read to you a little bit of what he said in an interview with the local state state news channel he said that we are not involved in yemen if we were there who these would be in riyadh by now yemen is surrounded we help as much as we can but the who these themselves have produced their own military capabilities just like the people in gaza so very strong reaction from civilian and military leaders into her own today how much of how much comfort will you give iranian policy the divisions. clear in the arab world right now when it comes to iran. well i think leaders into iran will be of 2 minds about this no doubt people who are watching the summit taking place from iran will see the show of support from iran from its allies as a shot in the arm they will be glad to see that not all arab leaders are falling in line and acquiescing to the saudi narrative of the conflict in the region but

at the same time it is international could stay it is a day when iranians take to the streets in support of the palestinian cause and to that end iran's foreign ministry spokesman has said that what saudi arabia should be talking about is not dividing the unity amongst the leaders of the islamic world saudi arabia should be taking the lead in talking about support for the palestinian cause and he said the divisions amongst leaders in the arab and muslim world only go towards supporting the israeli agenda of continuing to oppress palestinian people all right sam bacile avi. thanks for that rob matheson has the reaction out of iraq. it's not really a surprise that iraq has made this decision not to be involved in this announcement iraq has many years of trading cultural and religious history with neighboring iran

both countries are predominantly shia and iran has made significant investments in iraq over the last few years indeed when iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif was here just a few days ago the iraqi foreign minister mohammad al hakim told him that iraq was opposed to u.s. sanctions on iran and opposed to any one sided action by the united states but of course iraq also needs the support of united states troops and those from other foreign countries as it tries to deal with the ongoing threat from i so the question is now how saudi arabia and its allies are likely to react to this saudi arabia back in early april offered $1000000000.00 worth of development funds as a loan to iraq it also offered it $500000000.00 to help its export market and it also offered to build for free 100000 seater sports stadium just outside of baghdad so that is a significant amount of economic pressure that could be brought iraq once again

finding itself in the center of a conflict it does not want to be part of sudan's military council says the protests in the capital are a danger to the country demonstrators have been staging sit ins outside the military headquarters for weeks they want the generals to hand over power to a civilian administration councils also ordered the closure of al-jazeera his office in khartoum without giving any reason. al-jazeera denounced the closure of its bureau in khartoum saying the network sees this as an attack on media freedom professional journalism and the basic tenets of the right for people to know and understand the reality of what's happening in sudan the network deplores the decision and assures its audiences in so that and globally that it will continue its coverage of sudan despite this political interference by sudanese authorities

well david shinn is a former deputy chief of mission at the u.s. embassy in sudan he says the fact that talks are continuing is cause for optimism this is only one of a long series of incidents that have occurred sense the demonstration broke out on april 6th i would indicate i would suggest that it is a setback but probably not a serious one both the transitional military council on the one hand and the protest group led by the sudanese professionals association on the other have gone through a number of these episodes of both are both are any committed for the long term 2 sides have not yet reached agreement on how to divide up power or indeed what even the timeframe with before turning power over to civilian authority but the fact that the tops are ongoing i think is a relatively positive development manik in the final analysis they have and they

actually will be successful the greater concern here will be at least some of the individuals who are involved in the transitional military council over asserting their authority. assuming that they are kept out weight the protesters and i think they're wrong if they are making that assumption. mexico's president once talks with washington after dark trump said he'll impose tariffs on goods from mexico unless it stops illegal immigration the u.s. president posted this video on twitter it appears to show a 1000 migrants trying to cross the border trump says the 5 percent tariffs will be enforced from june the 10th and will being creased every month until something is done. he says we will not keep our arms crossed until june the 10th to see if he was serious or not but i do.
