mox begins a tour of the middle east with stops in jordan and iraq to reduce tensions with iran. and germany swimmin kick off their world cup campaign with a one bill victory over china. i'm michael oakley 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 back 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. people crossing into the u.s. to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to mexico while their applications for asylum are processed in turn as mexico will allow these individuals to enter for humanitarian reasons in compliance with its international obligations and that's united is the deal also sees checks being stepped up on mexico's southern border with quite a mana speaking on the sidelines of the g 20 finance meeting in japan the u.s.

treasury secretary steve minucci said trump's goal of fixing immigration problems on the mexico border had been achieved but he outage trump 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 israel 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 a good for now where does that leave mexico well i think it's a very good deal for mexico because while it was very origin 2 or resold these issues though it could affect both of the economies mexico and u.s.

american economy and it was also very positive that. one of our show that he's a man that's 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 the over months. now we're saying that well he's going to try to protect the mexican economy that he's not a child this is not mother little he's 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 to 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 a porch in it is there we need to see how they implemented that because giving money to a lawyer meant we also know that many times is not helping the cause of the corruption and it will be important to see if 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 all of the 5 industries there so mexico should need to start the last part off of all their 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 to to control to make notice to realize that 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 stay here to list a list and pass through commentary that it was a problem that mexico needed to to resolve it's not just like so. bad they trim hats of mexico needed to tackle these problems in order 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 it's difficult also to help them get it journalists are they here's a thanks for so much for joining us. germany's foreign minister has held talks with

moving from d.w. sports all the germany face china their opening day they won one nil what do you make of that victory it was a bit of a stuttering stop for the germany theme of this world cup a look they got over the line in the end and not is what counts going to see some highlights from this game right now it was actually china who had the best of the game early on they created some really good chances including one that we just see here where they actually hit the agonizingly high as they threw the chinese by. the shock germany did make them pay for missing those chances when china failed to clear a corner just take a look at this. rocket from julie agree in an absolute scream what a way for her to announce herself on the world stage she's a 19 year old making cup debut and she goes in schools a goal like that not bad at all look for the performance overall there's room for improvement in this gemini team from that game they're going to have to improve if they want to get to the latter stages of the tournament so if they want to win the

thing. this is too in football a win is a win you build a momentum however you can germany will certainly take and if they want to win they might have to go through france because we saw them on friday and boy were they dumb and it looked like the team to be absolutely i mean we knew that france were going to be one of the big teams at this tournament and they certainly like donna maka with that 1st guy after say it was no surprise to see players like on the normally when you are not. making a big performance that for france they've had a great season with their club team winning the champions league and the french title again that they've got huge support behind them we saw 45000 at the stadium in paris for the foreigner when i was a south korea they've got real quality throughout the team not just those players that i've just mentioned now they've made a great start as well i think it's going to take a very big performance from a very big day to put france out of this briefly if you can what do we expect from day 2 of the world cup yet we've still got the game between norway and nigeria's come as the other game from france is group norway having to play this tournament
