america like trump promised it would. not go see that. it was the intention. is not the manufacturers trade in industrial goods but peculiarly the car industry and what the agreement dos is to make it more difficult to bring parts from the rest of the world. to forcing the companies if they want to continue to sell into the u.s. just because market the well forces them to invest but invest in mexico in the united states in canada i think it's a good investment if. it's about history it's ok it's good for mexico. so when the backlash against a proposed pacific an atlantic free trade deal is eventually killed them it was as if the tree free trade dream is over with these new deal on your hands do you think it is and we're back to terry if scale. no no no it's not

such a fantastically big change it's evolution of the nafta it takes enough them and improves the rules in many areas it improves then it increases what is called the rules of origin which is what i was talking about it makes it. necessary for the foreign companies to use more in north america therefore to invest and then every interesting part of the treaty is that it has a number of areas that i call social agenda. labor rules environment rules and they corruption rules. it has ways to help small and medium enterprises even us culture protection facilities provisions so it is a very interesting treaty that is more pro investment than pro trade but also a social agenda. so they do see good agreement for the second quarter of the

century ok so they t.p. and the t.t. ip tears were criticized as being too friendly to the large multinational corporations but looking at this new deal for instance it hands quite a few benefits to the big pharma prolong patents on drugs for instance can we be sure that the new deal doesn't put the corporations first. will you touch the one area. where you think of the deal is thirty five chapters it's a huge gigantic thing the one area where i think i would have changed the results a little bit is pharmaceuticals. protection to pharmaceutical. companies protection to bio med this ins is a bit higher than i wish it have been. in mexico.

with. generic medicines. for the. us. so intellectual property is the one area that is. good news but is that good news across manufacturers so it's like a. member of canada's parliament has recently accused mexico throwing his country under the bus when it sealed and bilateral trade agreement with the united states while the three countries where renegotiating the nafta deal last summer do you think canadians. outraged you think it's justified. yes there was

a difficult time the united states managed to you know the old the old dictum. separate and conquer divide and conquer and the united states managed to close the negotiations first mexico then canada for mexico it worked well for kind of the it was. difficult in some areas that were negotiated primarily by mexico. and this is something. quite understandably took against the mexican authorities it was a previous gartman to mexico and there was cheating when the new government came in and hear your friend who is speaking now became the chief negotiator we really made every effort to bring kind of the into the fold fully with a million times this treaty has to be trilateral. this is with canada in synch with kind of the other good now. ok with this treaty the new x. and c.

a deal has not been ratified while the u.s. congress was rad and now democrats are on the lower house and there seems to be some criticism of the new deal as it allegedly doesn't deliver on what the u.s. workers wanted from it can they do you fall prey to the domestic politics in the united states. you're right the main area. number of. congressmen in the united states. complaining expressing concern related to labor but i really think this is a misunderstanding because the labor chapter is extremely powerful the little chapter is very strong very best practice what they want is not. provisions but trade provisions to enforce the labor commitments so it's

a question of believing that mexico will do what mexico has committed but they don't understand that in mexico the top priority of the new center left government is to work for the workers so i think good communication will go a long way to clarify that our objective in their objective are very much in line i think communication would be part of this we have to understand what they want to say and agree respectfully deal with it reopening that the treaty is very complicated it will be upon the moanin for everybody but i don't think it is necessary we need to understand each other and to see what they want and we want the same simply more of this bilateral deal between united states and mexico was forged last summer you were certain it would happen you sat back then that trumps push for the deal was merely and negotiating trick tactic and

here it is are you sure you can read him right. well we are sure we like what came out of it the dynamics the politics and it's extremely complicated i believe one reason why president strong decided to go for this negotiation was a theory in his approach to trade with other countries they ended up fighting with australia canada mexico everybody then all of sudden to have a trophy and achievement is an important achievement i think sincerely and honestly is an achievement but also politically is very important that's why president trump is very post devoted to his government is in that's why some democrats are attacking it not because it's any bad but because it will want to award the triumph two percent drop i hope politics will be

a one point compressed into looking at the interest of the united states the client and supported very well by this forward who can treaty that's what it is said that they trumpet ministration will soon remove the u.s. steel and alan minium tariffs which it has right now imposed in mexico but the discussion of this issue has been dragging on for many months already while many. certain that it's going to be solved soon well i would say that this situation is worse and that the problem still has not been dragging on for months has been almost abandoned there's been no progress none gauge meant. mexico has been dealing with it as if it is a separate question a separate chapter but the reality is that they're completely connected it is impossible to think of u.s.m.c. going through without still be resolved in the ratification willesee how long it

takes but hopefully sometime this year. all right we're going to take a short break right now when we're back with you this question has to be resolved. take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue discussing the relations between mexico and the united states with. mexico's undersecretary for north america and chief negotiator at the you see stay with us. who would have thought a somali born muslim woman elected to congress would ignite

a long overdue national conversation also wants to make the military industrial complex great again. i want to. be.

careful here. in the united. just. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next that the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to say the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective from time used to surprising to most of us all or not seriously . i'm going to talk about football narvi or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of the slide here. i do think the numbers mean something they've matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white

collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all from rich the food six percent in the world market most thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and fifth one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over the world. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you know for the mists of one and only boom box.

it we're back with say out in mexico's undersecretary for nurse america and. in the u.s. talks espousing the challenges mexico is facing in their relations with its northern neighbor so mr said a triumph is just to find the steel and aliment in cherubs with just touched upon by concerns of national security. just using that as a pretext or it is about to go now have to work on not being seen as a threat to the united states. there is no way a mexican steal can be a threat to the united states for one thing the trade in steel products is quite strong in both directions but bigger the experts from the united states to mexico

so that the u.s. has a surplus with mexico how can import from mexico be a threat i really think this bus a pretext to create some extra room for the steel industry a in accordance with the vision of president trump would support the mystic industry rather than thinking of global engagement of trade so that excuse is not good but it doesn't matter whatever it is it has to go and i believe that the this is it is this government improv the my information is that even the industry ready to. to see this out a says the mexican government or the mexican industry so we just have to engage and discuss how to do it but but this has to go to the mexican president has said that his country will continue to pursue friendly relations with the u.s. now how easy is it to do that when trump openly calls mexicans rapists people with

troubles simpering troubles chile united states i mean to not get under your skin when you are negotiating. well we certainly don't appreciate those expressions. we have on a number of occasions indicated. disappointment to hear certain things these are things that are said largely with the domestic politics in mind and. we don't take them personally we are just dealing with the actual relations the actual things that bind those the negotiations trying to move forward to a better relationship to a high level of relationship. this remark. all the reference about the wall of mexico being the wall. in mexico if this internal politics in the usa ok but the wall where it up when we're talking about cross border trade inevitably the plans of trump to construct

a border come into play if it is constructed what if fact will that have one mexico u.s. trade relations well i think if his name is constructed. to be so negative on trade relations trade through. every meter of the three thousand kilometer border it goes through certain points and the trains have you know roads too for who for the trucks to cross that's not going to be affected. the wall we see something is not constructive but is not directly affecting trade assaults your question the answer is no we will see that as being particularly relevant for a program that mexico by virtue of geography is on the way of asylum seekers had eight for the united states and neutron policies on immigration are creating

a backlog and so those refugees have to stay in mexico before they can present themselves to the u.s. authorities how does mexico deal with this situation and what kind of problems does that create for your country. we have an extremely interconnected region i mean there's thirty six million mexicans living in the united states twenty four of those are permanent residents with a permanent resident permit or visa or dual nationality twenty four and then twelve only mexicans how few of them regular with the with the with the appropriate working conditions half of them illegal immigrants most mexicans a hundred percent mexico's all the same so the relationship is extremely complex without having to mexico to that states used to be huge twenty years ago even ten

years ago and in the last six to eight years has gone into negative there are more mexicans coming back from the u.s. to mexico than going from mexico to the u.s. so let's go to what is everything now. north american authorities is the fact that . there's pressure there lots of central americans coming through mexico and trying to go to the united states so that certainly creates its difficult situation of the no the border for us but that's a situation related to. people from honduras guatemala el salvador coming through mexico relations with mexico on mexican people. quite balance that's not where the problem is so let's china to the picture because that's important the you as m.c.a. deal with discussed earlier includes a provision that forces also mentors to inform each other of talks on trade deals with non market economies and can be used to freeze them out if these talks result

in a deal how much of a blow would that be for mexico and canada's relations with china. well china is of course the giant not in the room i mean the most important trading partner for each of us outside ourselves. mexico wants to develop a good relationship with china mexico has a huge trade deficit with china so want to find ways to export more to china but also perhaps more importantly to attract investment. the treaty the u.s. embassy has a provision that says. if any of members the three countries start negotiations dorsey free trade agreement this will be notified to the oh there is a new this can get out of the of the u.s. embassy but nobody's thinking at these not in mexico of creating

a free trade agreement which china anytime soon we need to develop a stronger links develop a stronger investment laws and we can do that perfectly well and we intend to do that perfectly well we are working with china as well as we are working with kind of the units this week in the terms of the treaty to china is now reportedly the biggest creditor of latin america and there is some talk of mexico approaching it for help with the railroad infrastructure project this is new it with a concern from washington which warns that chinese investment comes with a have a dose of just a ticket interest aren't you afraid of becoming a pawn in china or u.s. big rivalry game or can mexico and other latin american countries play they'd to you again other. rather than afraid i would say that we of course would be very careful very careful dealing with china is complex the line between the company and the state is most of the time the three will draw on

a very clear so you are you're working with a partner investor or whatever in some measure you're working with a whole country with china so you have to be careful. an important part of developing relationships must be to develop improved. provisions and mechanisms to disclose problems to create confidence in both directions the chinese also have a deficit of confidence with mexico how does that country work it's too distant so we have to educate our peoples in earth to work together and of course be clear for rick if we were to reach with that with germany states. china is. a country with an investment system very much of its own and we have to be very clear that that we need all over the table relationships and.

links but we welcome the investment but what don't they terms you hear most often way to chinese investment is stay feared that trap basically a situation where the recipient nation bites more than it can chew in terms of loans have you considered this scenario will fracture in mexico's case or nah. no i mean that's that's very much something that the depends on you not on china how much how far you go how much are you invest me investing what is the balance of your macro economy if there is one thing that makes it go has in abundance is matter economy stability it is a country has an extremely well on the stability front for by the north thirty years twenty five years saw this. we have all the mechanisms we have the internal checks and balances controls and we are not going to strike a world where we want to be in didn't we china want to welcome their investment

that's not going to vote for the boat in terms of our economy so the us china trade war is still on despite hopes of resolution in the meantime in early february the un released a report saying that mexico could capture a major deal of the exports lost because of the ballot or oil terrorist between china and the united states do you see a prospect of gain here could it over way the long term damage from the trade war itself well you've. you can always look at things in contradictory ways at the same time if there is a trade war we've had in the united states and china you can think oh the spillover into benefits to mexico because because exports a nice exports to united states be more complex a facility that's generally more complex mexico can come in but i think that center you have to understand the there is a trade war within that stays in china the american economy is that most of the

chinese economy is down much in each of those important to mexico so i think the balance of preference is that we applaud the fact that the units in china seem to be coming to a healthy balanced agreement to avoid a trade war and if the avoid a trade war they'll be good for. well the international economy the world economy and the people for mexico we are not looking at opportunities for small benefits because somebody. far from the other one we prefer big benefits from a healthy world economy particularly involving our two main trading partners i'm bassett or thank you for this interview we're talking to say add in mexico's undersecretary for north america and chief negotiator wayne de u.s.m.c. a talks discussing yes mexico's economic cooperation and that the border crisis between the two countries that's it for this edition of said think oh i'll see you

next time. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final. we can all middle of the room.

this is a stick for the open water bottle found in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones they're the litter box or throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this way. the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. seats to cook absolutely so. that seems cool sets will soften their glasses chris takes a close ally and only stay on your own at a special projects funding he tells it to close hold on i'm your best bet is the end of a footy team fun now the mountains of waste only grow higher. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next that the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home

fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective and i'm used to surprising us all why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else i just think i was going to go. by the way ways of that slide here. would probably get accepted or rejected. so when you want to present injury. or something i want to be rich. but you'd like to be close it's like before three of them or can people that i'm interested always in the waters of. the ship. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my

family were unemployed or people and there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. of there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shaped my the turn principles of. concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack soloed. engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on. one set of rules for the rich offices. that's what happens when you put her into the. narrow sector of will switch rule is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of

america. but i know. i'm not. further debate some division right so across europe over the fates of children of us like state fighters as the baby of an ice cold dry dies in a syrian refugee camp after the woman's beauty citizenship laws were both. pretty

citizen the baby who. died because of the government didn't do anything to bring that child back to the u.k. on such a job he did the right thing he put the safety of this country first and foremost. human rights watch accuses or rather the kurdish authorities of routinely torturing youngsters says.
