Be planned. In the. Madness of his wife once they become in prison the real problem. Is that when people are. Ignored we dont want to be responsible.

K. He says god make a case an Impeachment Vote if he refuses to step down i think im going to pillars of support are dwindling as been pointed out by by many people this military coup has actually been more peaceful than elections in zimbabwe so this basically is generating the euphoria that you are seeing there is a lot of nervous excitement people are warming up to the army theyre looking at them as heroes weve seen whats one us president in karma. Doing mugabe to step down i think mugabe is last card in all of this hes fully aware that the army needs him. Or the successor so hes holding on to this card were told in negotiations with centering around him being given safe passage and immunity but i think the latest as youve been seeing from the reports is that hes insisting on finishing his term in office so i think those strategizing this military coup in a sense are now looking at the party route trying to have him removed as leader of zanu p. F. And there is talk that they might actually have him impeached as early as tuesday. So basically its a mexican standoff its a middle of who blinks first but i also says that telling us the generals are not backing down and if refuses a graceful exit they will obviously humiliate him through an impeachment process and we all know people in the opposition and even within zanu p. F. Fed up. So they will be a lot of support for any Peace Process in Parliament Russia has vetoed efforts to extend the u. N.

Russia vetoed this was its eleventh veto on syria and its the fifth the toe in connection with chemical weapons on syria the japanese draft was a Pretty Simple one by Security Council resolution standards a very very short it only had three key points in it and the last one was the council as they always say remain seized of the matter the other two points were not a resolution of this dispute cliff but what we call here a rollover which is they would extend the existing provisions for the chemical weapons investigation for another thirty days so basically it was a way to extend the negotiations because this is such a divisive issue and it also asked the secretary general of the United Nations and the executive director of the o. P. C. W thats the body in the hague that deals with the prohibition of chemical weapons them to come up with some suggestions to try and break the deadlock and yet we have seen russia again use its veto this effectively is the end of whats known as the gym the joint investigative mechanism the body that the Security Council itself set up in the negotiations for setting it up were done by the u.

Corners cropping up is a big issue in negotiations at the north American Free trade agreement and its mexicos top agricultural import from the u. S. But some say chief american varieties are damaging mexicos rich corn heritage heritage that is really a galliano has more from just outside mexico city. Corn is as much a part of the story of mexico as yes ticks and the arrival of the spanish conquistadores first developed here thousands of years ago small scale farmers like i rely on it to make a living but also a view it as a connection to their nations past. These kernel still the story of mexico its life its development its culture its ideology and. Loosen them would be losing a right then to.

Younger mexicans are less interested in consuming traditional varieties of mexican corn and new generations of farmers are less interested in planting them opting for simpler more profitable varieties instead but our north shore is convinced that with Government Support to small scale farmers like himself mexicans will claim their National Crops and remove the need to import any from abroad. Its difficult to overstate just how important this crop is to mexican life and identity not just from a practical standpoint as a basic food staple but also culturally speaking and thats why an increasing number of people here feel the need to defend its survival from what they say are growing threats.

President donald trump has long accused mexico of getting the best out of the deal but cheap u. S. Corn imports are seeing here as doing lasting damage if the imposition of. Targets or obstacles by the u. S. Size. Vances then mexico has choices to also put on the table so long issues that will affect the free flow of grains from the u. S. Into mexico joint statement as mexico braces for another round of tough negotiations over nafta a new force hoping that what emerges will place higher value on the countrys National Crop and ensure it has a profitable future as well as a rich history galiano aljazeera mexico city.
