This is CBS, I in the world. I'm John Bachelor with the New World

welcoming Professor Avignelles, the U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute,

we're going to Mexico with an odd story to my mind,

the outgoing very popular president of Mexico

and known affectionately as Amlo.

Very popular figure throughout his time in office

because of his ability to tell a story in the morning on television like Captain Kangaroo,

although in this instance he's dealing with a modern culture and a very sophisticated enterprise, prosperity everywhere except also crime

all along the American border.

However, right now, Amlo is not concerned with,

along the American border, he's concerned with the U.S.

Embassy and the Canadian embassy. It's a surprising story and I

asked the professor to help me understand it. The Mexican government has

paused its relationship with the US and Canadian embassies, rights Reuters.

President Andre, Manuel Lopez-Obrador said, after their ambassadors

criticized the proposed judicial reform that he, the president, backs.

There is a pause, said Amlow in a press conference, clarifying that the freeze was with the

embassies and not with the countries.

Professor, that's a fine distinction.

However, I note that the embassies are doing the bidding of their governments.

And what they're saying is that they have severe doubts about reforms that Amla wants to

see in place before he leaves office on October 1st, severe doubts that those are pro-democracy.
