from up here, it's striking to see how close mexico is to the us. bravo by the mexicans, and rio grande by the americans, is the flowing border dividing and uniting both countries for hundreds of kilometres. in most of texas is the place where the next phase of the wall will be built. for many, that's a threat to their properties and to the landscape itself. building the wall will be difficult, and money may not be the biggest hurdle. getting the land is a major issue, because over 90% of the border in texas is privately owned. under the bush administration, many landowners receive letters saying they would have to sell their land to the goverment. noel first received a letter in 2008. for nine years, nothing happened, but he recently got another one. he is realistic about the situation. why do you think there is no point in fighting the goverment on this? 0n fighting the sale? yeah. because homeland security has all the... ..power in the world right now. they can do and not do whatever they want. the land has been in his wife's family for more than

on bbc news, one of president trump's campaign pledges was the construction of a wall along the us—mexico how would a wall stop drugs and people illegally entering the us? here's part two of life in the shadow of the wall. crowd: build that wall! build that wall! yeah, 0k, 0k. we'll build the wall. we need to build a wall. a big, beautiful wall. build a wall. it was one of his main campaign pledges — to build a wall all along the us—mexico border. a third of it already has some sort of barrier, but what are the challenges of trying to seal it off completely? i have completed the first part of this trip, and so far i have travelled along a border where the river is the natural barrier. but from now on, i am going to be visiting been in place for years. so we are going to be seeing much more of this. after el paso, ciudad juarez and nogales, iwill finish in the quintessential border town of tijuana, a place where some are struggling to start new lives. back home, you just can't go anywhere here, you start selling drugs just to get by or make money or hustle or whatever. but i am starting my

us, and yet so far. so that's it. the end of my road trip. it has been a fascinating journey along a part of the world that belongs to mexico and the us and inof paradox, a land of extremes. it can be cruel, violent and imposing and at the same time beautiful, gentle, and gracious. it is a place where people have learned to live in a strange intimacy with a wall and probably many more will have to do the same. on this trip, i have seen the challenges of building more barriers, talked to people happy with a wall in the backyard and to those that believe that more fences won't stop migrants, nor drugs. this border is, after all, home to millions of people that, no matter what you think of the wall, now face a dramatic, momentous and divisive time. hi there. it has been another day of sunshine and showers. one of our weather watchers photographed this cloud in the highlands. there have been frequent showers in northern and western scotland. they will continue overnight. showers in the north—west of england and wales, too. but for many, the cloud will break up and the weather will become dry. temperatures between 20 —— ten and 13 degrees in the

and it's not always easy to see which side is mexico or the us.gerjennettejurado. she tells me the park has the border‘s fewest illegal crossings. routinely the border patrol tells us that here in big bend national park we have the lowest statistics for any section of the us/mexican border and within the park, we protect 12% of the us/mexican border, so it's a significant piece. in this vast, remote and lonely place the binational cooperation is essential. and borders are hard to distinguish. just on the other side of our river — well, we only have one half of the river to begin with — that other half is preserved by mexican national parks so we have canyons here but we can only preserve one half of the canyon, one half of the river and then to have a partnership with mexico to make sure this landscape is preserved as part of a larger ecosystem. that our vistas don't end right at that political boundary or right in the middle of the rio grande, is a truly beautiful thing that we have down here. many people who come here don't even realise that the

she was picked up trying to get back into the us after visiting family in mexico.dge the success if anyone is able to judge the success of a wall, it is perhaps the people smugglers. this one says it has reduced numbers. he was happy to appear on camera but preferred not to be named. for him a bigger wall could mean fewer clients but more money. nogales may be another example of the mixed and complex nature of border towns. and of the unintended consequences of building barriers. a wall will stop some people, but others will find a different way around. my final destination on this road trip is tijuana. no other place on the us—mexico frontier has a more intimate relationship with the wall than this city. here the us government started building the border‘s first barrier almost three decades ago. it has shaped the lives, identities and faiths of millions. this is a graffiti artist who has lived here for 25 years. the wall for him became a canvas, an opportunity to express his feelings towards life in a place divided. painting on this is a cathartic experience but h

mexico is the second source of imports only after china. we account for 14% of total us imports from the world. production of automobiles, electronics, greatly benefited from production sharing. nafta has not been able to reduce costs and become more effective. my second point is mexico should look for more and not less nafta. in the early 1990s, nafta triggered a structural reform in mexico. since its implementation nafta is a force for change and transformation for economic structures and institutions. nafta was a transformational experience for mexico, transformed the face and shape of the mexican economy and opened the door to a young democracy after 70 years of 1-party pool. nafta has been one of mexico's most important engines of economic growth given the role international trade and foreign direct investments represent for the country. i can tell you nafta is embedded in mexico's every day life, mexico is not ready to reverse in the last 23 years, nafta created a wide consensus in mexico that that is the way to go. we need more, not less competition and we want to
