| 0:27.4 | Now at august.co.uk. Good evening. Tonight's show I go to Mexico City. Amlo, the very popular |
| 0:36.1 | and powerful president of Mexico, cannot succeed himself. One term only in the Constitution |
| 0:41.8 | in Mexico. Therefore, his marina party is looking to succeed Amlo with another sympathetic |

| 2:15.5 | the Mexican presidency. This would be a first to have a female president in North America, a first. |
| 2:24.4 | I look for the election next year. Also with Professor Evan Ellis, we talked about the crisis |
