Im a backer is 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 u. S. The country to the u. S. Border but the deal appears to fall short of a key u. S. Demands that mexico except a designation of safe 3rd country that would have forced it to pay. Let me take in most Central American sonam say because. Hes known for the art of the deal but returning to the white tell you softer his trip to europe u. S. President donald trump was uncharacteristically tight lipped about how talks were going. After 3 days the tower of strength had threatened were no indefinitely suspended. People crossing into the u. S. To seek asylum will be rapidly returned to mexico while their applications for asylum are processed in turn and mexico will allow these individuals to enter for humanitarian reasons in compliance with its International Obligations that unless your majesty mexico would take on the president it is to. Be Peace Enforcement to curb it with our migration that employment of its National Guard mexico even priority to the soudan border on the border with guatemala chicks are being stepped up while these measures were enough to avoid the tariffs the details are not yet finalized the United States and mexico have agreed to continue their discussions and nines the final conditions in the next 90 days. Now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u. N. Says the number of venezuelan refugees has now reached 4000000 its one of latin americas worst ever humanitarian emergencies more and more people have been fleeing the socialist country with little sign of a solution to its political and economic crisis. A fear of him Prime Minister ahmed is calling for the downed military to ensure a rapid transition to democracy he made the statement while in the strife torn country trying to put talks between the army and opposition back on track negotiations broke down this week after Security Forces killed dozens of protesters. Thousands of people have take to the streets of the algerian capital algiers to protest the 16th consecutive week president abdullah says be to fake a quit in early april after 20 years in power to demonstrate his now pushing for more radical change demanding others saying if it is also step down. German foreign minister hiker mas has touched down in baghdad on an unannounced visit this after stopping in jordan on a middle east trip that will also take him to the United Arab Emirates and iran will be the 1st top german diplomat to visit tehran in 2 years is hoping to deescalate regional tensions and salvage Irans Nuclear deal. From us is on the move deescalation and denuclearization are his stated goals in jordan talks with counterparts are likely to focus on whats next for neighboring syria where socalled Islamic State has been largely ousted but peace remains elusive germany is part of the antiu. S. Coalition providing air support from jordan and the u. A. E. Mosque confronts complex crises and shifting alliances the emirates are involved in yemens brutal civil war on the side of their much larger neighbor saudi arabia both against iran which backs the other side german. A stand simply supporting the Saudi Alliance has been strongly criticized for selling weapons that have killed civilians in a war thats become the worlds worst humanitarian crisis the conflicts in both yemen and syria are seen as proxy wars between the u. S. And its regional allies on one side and iran on the other that has observers worried about a direct confrontation if you have a situation in the middle east where there are level battlefields where you have physically very close distances between iranian and American Forces and they do not talk to each other this is highly dangerous and could lead to a very very full scale war in the middle east we cant afford it nobody came. By tightening sanctions and boosting its forces in the region the u. S. Has upped the pressure on iran the Trump Administration withdrew last year from a deal that aims to halt Irans Nuclear Weapons Program saying iran has violated it and that the deal does too little to contain tehrans support for terrorist groups. Other parties to the nuclear deal including the u. K. France and germany disagree as does the uns Atomic Agency meeting this week in vienna. But during a recent meeting with u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o must glossed over the disagreement begins with we are taking different paths but i think we have always had a same goal was. I hope to succeed in the composition of these goals together. Actually moss path goes through tehran thats where his trip ends and where hes looking to keep iran on track with the deal and away from a nuclear weapon. So a foolish edgel there for hike on mars in on his middle east trip but possibly the most delicate part of the trip will be his visit to iran to talk more about that in more detail im joined by about the by is an expert on iran and heads germanys capos Center Thanks for joining me how much influence can German Foreign minister have in tehran with the nuclear deal now on shaky ground. I think we have to be realistic here germany germanys position itself might not be so fissions to really influence the situation in a way that is that we can safeguard the agreement but i think if the foreign minister who must speak on behalf of these 3 and conveys a Strong Political message from the 3 from the European Countries france germany and Great Britain to teheran and that can be important and that will be an important signal to try and see what can be done to save the cure agreement the u. S. Has impose new sanctions on iran yesterday and iran is refusing to talk to the u. S. Could germany be immediately. What were seeing right now is that there are various countries various heads of state coming to the fore convening messages messages back and forth between tehran and washington and we are seeing Prime Minister abbott from traveling to you run next week as well and i think the entirety of the interlocutors may help to deescalate the situation to some extent so i think it will not you know just on. To mediate here but it will be on a lot of people to really step in and try to deescalate the situation the u. S. Has stationed warships in the arabian sea to detail what they call irans aggressive behavior whats at stake here. I guess a lot is at stake i mean we can everybody who ever it starts thinking about what the implications of a Armed Conflict or even a small incident between the iranian and american troops in the region would be and what escalation potential make that neon fall everyone knows that this has to be prevented and i think this is why we have seen so many different officials from Different Countries both in the region but also but also outside the middle Eastern Region trying to make sure that there are some messages sent back and forth between tehran and washington to try to to deescalate into prevent at least in the 1st step some sort of more military action and in the longer run try to replace some ground or pave the way for direct talks between the 2 and as we just heard that the foreign minister German Foreign minister is in was in jordan today to discuss syria whats germanys role than now. Here again i think that its the entirety of all actors of european actors that can try to make sure that the partners in the region know what the european position on the conflict is because the european position is and big u. S. To say the least and for that i think its important that former tyco mass is there and see some some talks with his interlocutors. At not to have a tie from germanys compas and to thank you my pleasure. Now i am ready to boldly go where few tourists have gone before well if youve got a taste for adventure and plenty of money to burn you can start counting down nasa has announced it will open the International Space station to commercial travel beginning next year space tourists as well as astronauts from private companies will be able to visit the station though only 2 Short Missions will be allowed. The challenge of staying on board will be a media 35000. 00 a night but getting to the space station will cost a cool 58000000. 00. And we spoke to kate cowing in washington hes the editor of nasa watch dot com we asked him what fate has faced her should expect the people who visited the space station before as commercial astronauts have had to go through physical exams make sure youre healthy enough to go theres some basic Safety Training really sure you know what to do in case something goes wrong but pretty much and ive done some of the training if you can survive a transoceanic hour flight on a jet and you need a better for it you could probably fly into space you just need the money one of the things that nasa needs to do is find ways to maybe put some of the expense of the space station on to the private sector so we can use some funds for congress to go do other things like going back to the moon although President Trump just said there on twitter that theyre not going back to the moon but there are probably change tomorrow but the idea here is that nasa needs to free up resources so we can now move back to exploring well the routine stuff that you do in near earth orbit there will work orbit can be done by the private sector. That was editor of nasa watch dot com keith cowing speaking to us from washington. The womens world cup is underway and joining me to go at the start of the tone of it is max merrill from the to be useful max thanks for joining me tell us about the opening game well the hosts france kicks off in style against south korea 45000 fines in attendance in paris and quite a performance from them to put a stamp on this woman early on lets take a look.

Thumping the ball into the back of the net via the underside of the cross bar to make it one. Half an hour in greece back tees small volley was disallowed after the video ref just centimeters. But front soon made it to nil anyway thanks to a powerful header from sent a half way. At one me to 87. 00 towered above the Korean Defense and had an easy time out corners she repeated her feet to make it 3 male just before half time the 2nd half produced only dislike highlight from. The dream goal from the captain to round off a dream start to the tournament for the hosts. The front settling then how can i win a tournament on heim sold well it would be the very 1st one but this is probably the best chance theyve ever had and yesterdays game was a sheer huge step in the right direction its a fairly open field at this world cup theres quite a lot of teams that could be seen as favorites germany usa and england among the many teams that are in with a shout of the title but from so unique in that they are probably the only team that really embraced that favorites tag coach said after the match they hope that this before it strikes fear into their opponents hearts and it certainly would have done i think and she admitted that they all favorites and they are expected as host to go far in the tournament and we saw some clever play that mean as mentioned the report when did another towering sends a back they targeted to make use of that advantage in terms of height scoring 2 goals and impressive performances on the wing from. Giani who i think were going to see a lot more of in this tournament and in the group that fronts are in south career.
