life but they face mounting problems like plastic waits for world oceans day our reporter goes to sierra leone to see what's being done to stop it. and the women's world cup is off to a flying start for the tournament hopes will look back on the big night in paris and look forward at what's to come on day 2. a michael ok welcome to the program the united states and mexico have reached an 11th hour deal to crack down on migration from central america earlier the white house threatened to slap tariffs on mexico if it failed to stop record numbers of migrants from traveling through the country to the u.s. border but the deal appears to fall short of a key u.s. demand that mexico accept the designation of safe 3rd country that would have

forced it to permanently take in most central american asylum seekers. it's the end of a dispute that threatened an all out trade war between the u.s. and mexico but at the white house after his trip to europe u.s. president trump safety announcement for his preferred form of communication in a series of tweets late friday trump said tariffs would be indefinitely suspended and that mexico had agreed to take strong measures to stop central american migrants heading through mexico to the u.s. . mexico's foreign minister said the deal was a fair play to people crossing into the u.s. to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to mexico while their applications for asylum are processed in turn and mexico will allow these individuals to enter for humanitarian reasons in compliance with its international obligations that has united the deal also sees checks being stepped up on mexico's southern border with

quite a mahler. speaking on the sidelines of the g 20 finance meeting in japan the u.s. treasury secretary steve minucci and said trump's goal of fixing immigration problems on the mexico border had been achieved but he added strength could still impose tariffs if mexico failed to follow up on its pledges the deal ties trade to migration but the devil could yet be in the detail the final conditions are set to be hammered out in discussions between the u.s. and mexico within 90 days. for more on that mexican journalist from our spanish department is in the studio with me as well thanks for joining us so for now after a tough negotiations between the united states and mexico it appears that this dispute is resolved at least again for now where does that leave mexico well i think it's a very good deal for mexico because while it was very origin to resole these issues

though it could affect both of their comics mexican and u.s. american economy and it was also very positive that this on another show that he's a man that do not things with the stomach so at the beginning when he was compared to become president many people argue that he wouldn't be able to. get this kind of conversations with all of our governments and now we're saying that well he's going to try to protect the mexican economy that he's not this is not another little he somebody that can handle but wolf there is a lot of there are a lot of issues still to resolve because this is just a solution for right now so what options does mexico actually have to address the migration issue and to basically you know stem the wave of these threats from the u.s. president to impose tariffs i think where one of the most important things was that the mexican i mean administration was able to make trump accept to start to

work you know long term strategy in order to help people in central america to have opportunities there we need to see how they implemented that because giving money to all of our meant we also know that many times is not helping because of the corruption and it will be important to see if there individuals are going to get this kind of supporting or to improve the local economies the other thing is not really try to speak more with all their potential partners. a memory that partners they already have because last we saw germany was pretty afraid of this kind of treatment of treat because they have a treatment with mexico their start to be a lot of their billing a lot of. industries there so mexico should need to start the last part off of all the countries now under this deal mexico has agreed to deploy some 6000

troops to its border with got a mole in order to stem the migration flow what's the likelihood that it actually will stem that flow well i think. that the. strategy they want to follow is 1st of all start 2 to control to make notice to realize who is coming why are they coming here why do they need what do they need because all other governments just refused to see that problem they just ok they are not staying here to let them pass through injury but it was a problem that mexico needed to to resolve it's not just like some. but they trim hats of mexico needed to tackle these problems in other also to help the migrants to be more safe in their corn to fuel don't know who are they what are they doing there where are they going if you go last with to help them got it journalists are
