two to the pipeline those pipelines connect one of them crosses the us mexico border and goes across the gulf of mexico into mexico and so that the mexico part of the pipelines being protested both act you know activism and courts and in the court case to answer your question at least for that pipeline it's been held up in court because a judge agreed in that court that there was not sufficient consultation with the o. tommy tony tried therefore there needs to be a more consultation more discussion before that particular pipeline can move forward we see a parallel with that with sampras pipeline which crosses the us mexico border in arizona which i wrote about in the article that one is still being heard in court but it's not clear how the judge ruled that ruling will come in the in the weeks to come and go back to the u.s. example of standing rock you know that was held up for these very same reasons because there was not sufficient consultation and according to the tried and so the judge heard those arguments and disagreed eventually and the pipeline moved forward but we do see a ki

know not only in mexico but also the united states for exports of oil and gas that go across the us mexico border whether it's across the gulf of mexico whether it's these pipelines build out so it is you know i would say from a u.s. company perspective huge for exporting their products to mexico in terms of pipeline companies that's a boon boon for them looking at companies like trans canada and south brothers the two leading pipeline companies right now and mexico there are also also huge companies in the united states but in terms of how the industry sees it i think that the best lens that i could is the best kind of perspective that i can offer and that is the reason why that one of the major reasons why this constitutional reform passed was because through the united states state department there was a push to make this happen lots of revolving door figures a guy the name of carlos past who at the time was that their u.s. ambassador to mexico would leave and now works for an industry consulting firm but you know these particular figures within the state department who at the time was

jon sopel, bbc news, on the us—mexico border.being the president's greatest foreign policy challenge. i asked duncan innes—ker, an analyst at the economist's intelligence unit, what he thought of the president's strategy. certainly 0bama when he was handing over power to trump did list north korea as being the challenge to watch and i think it has turned out that way. i think when it comes to the trump administration's policy with regards to north korea, there's been a lot to welcome. the tough approach towards china really has resulted in some big significant shifts in the way china reacts to north korea. sanctions have been toughened, of course that's partly in response to increased aggression from north korea in terms of more testing. but the real problem is that essentially trump's actions are coming too late in the game. north korea essentially already has nuclear capabilities. it has shown that it nuclear capabilities. it has shown thatitisif nuclear capabilities. it has shown that it is if not fully on the way to getting i

push its interests in europe but also on the global stage and so in that sense because you know mexico has used this opportunity to really build relations across the across the world and so certainly this is been a very advantageous years last year and i expect this it be the same an opportunity for cars know michael to really promote france on the global stage just one last final point of the tapestries and actually going to make it to the. four or five years because of restoration issues using brakes or something to do with it that they're just waiting to see or breaks and they go see actions going case the u.k. doesn't give it back or not really no i don't think so i think given how it is says it's very important to conduct these tests to make sure that the tapestry isn't damaged but i do you think that it is again an important signal for the discussions between cars you know michael and theresa may take place this week that would be very interesting to listen to what comes out of those discussions georgina right from chatham house thank you thank you. and speaking of france the country has

us. we've got them apart and then the president comes in and starts pushing mexico away. is very important to us, security is very important, they work with us on those issues on that. 40% of everything we export as a country, 40% of everything we export goes to latin america, mexico, central and south america, 40% of everything, but we don't treat them as neighbors. if you look at the world, there are some countries that don't have very friendly neighbors. we, as the united states, are blessed to have canada, and mexico as neighbors. and we should take advantage of that and what i said is, when some people see russia as a friend and mexico as an enemy, that world has been turned upside down. >> one last question, 'cause we're running out of time. >> i work for the thompson ritter foundation, and we look at trafficking and such. i would like to ask you about the wall and the threat of the wall, if you could address a little bit what sort of impact it's had on life along the border and, say, working conditions, labor conditions among those people without documents and also

well i only just the other day president trump was again sort of using mexico as a scapegoat really in this continued conflict with democrats and his opponents about the rule and about border security he said it was the number one most dangerous country in the world which is objective lee folse and he said that to stop the flow of drugs then the war had to be built you can see the prototypes of the wall behind me that's about as far as he's got so far with that it's been held up in congress and you can see also the existing fence that does cover about a third of the mexico united states divide or you see the wall he's planning is about nine meters tall so it's significantly going to be more tougher to get across but in the early months of the trumpet ministration there was talk from officials about the trump effect and that was his tough rhetoric and plans for more border agents and for the will which was discouraging people officials said from trying to get across in the numbers really did bear that out it was the lowest number of captures of migrants in seventeen years now that trump

one of the things that we looked at as well, the us and canada and mexico also had a number of discussions prior to the us withdrawal of the trans-pacific partnership. and there's a technical issue on digital language. he has a ready been discussed as part of the discussions of the three countries that was prior to nafta discussions. i believe also that the us administration has heard from so many pivotal players. including mayors and governors on the dire consequences of scrapping the deal and i think that makes withdrawal all the more unlikely. the operations to finish the agreement, agreements made outlined by march before the mexican presidential campaign at the end of that month. a lot needs to be achieved before then. after all, most free-trade agreements take on average, about 18 months to sign and 45 must implement from the first day of negotiations. it is a tall order but i think it is something that i will nafta partners can work on together. what happens next? progress this week. if there is momentum then negotiators will likely meet again soon. if not we could see substantial t
