10:01 pm
under the united states and mexico have agreed to overhaul the north american free trade agreement known as nafta discussions focused on new rules for the automotive industry a central issue for president trump who is described nafta as a disaster for american workers canadian prime minister justin trudeau is now under pressure to agree new terms to remain part of a three nation pact and he's assured mexico's president of his commitment to the agreement because she actions have dragged on for more than a year and threats by trump to ditch the nine hundred ninety four accord of course turbulence on the financial markets but in pressure on the mexican peso and the canadian dollar speaking from the oval office the us president praised the new deal . this is something that's very special for our manufacturers and for our farmers from both countries for all of the people that work for jobs it's also great trade
10:02 pm
and it makes it a much more fair bill and we are very very excited about it we have worked long and hard your representatives have been terrific my representatives have been fantastic to. they've. they've got along very well and they've worked late into the night for months extremely complex built and it's something that i think will be talked about for many years to come. just good for both countries as far as canada is concerned we haven't started with canada yet we wanted to do mexico and see if that was possible to do and it wasn't i think it wasn't from any standpoint something that most people thought was even doable when we started if you look at it you remember at the beginning many people thought that this was something that just couldn't happen because of all of the different factions all of the different sides and the complexity and we made it much simpler much better much better for both countries
10:03 pm
and i will have all the reaction from john heilemann in mexico city first though let's go to the committee how could they just in washington d.c. can release to a lot of detail to be handed out. a lot of details but this was five weeks in the making in terms of the negotiations so that is one of the reasons why donald trump is hell and this is a success really he was looking to keep a pledge to those who supported him in the twenty six c. u.s. election particularly when it comes to the automotive sector the manufacturing sector saying he would bring back jobs he may recall on the campaign trail called the north american free trade agreement one of the worst deals ever and so soon after becoming president set about to renegotiate the deal now canada has not for its part been involved in the negotiations in recent weeks those talks breaking down a lot of issues there simply because of the tariffs on steel aluminum that the united states placed on on that canadian product but in terms of the negotiations with
10:04 pm
mexico they still continued and are somewhat of a success for the u.s. president many believe because this is socially could make sure now that when it comes to the american cars that are made in the united states that they actually are made in the united states the new agreement require seventy five percent of those cars and parts to be manufactured in the united states initially that agreement with just sixty two percent of what we saw were a lot of jobs going south of the border jobs donald trump says he will now be able to bring back to the united states so if there is this shaping out to be some something of a political victory for donald trump. it certainly is but it is a guarded one given the fact that this is just a bilateral agreement lauren and it has to be approved by the u.s. congress and the trade deal must be approved by the u.s. congress and they're going to be some republicans even members of the president's own party that could potentially push back because of some of the other trade disputes perhaps that it are affecting farmers so this is not a deal that has been sealed and the other thing after member in all of this is the
10:05 pm
nafta agreement is a trilateral trilateral deal right now we just have a bilateral agreement any changes to nafta must be signed onto by canada so we know that the canadian foreign minister is set to come to washington to try and negotiate there is a lofty goal of trying to get those agreements worked out by friday seems like that may be a difficult challenge given the fact that it's taken weeks to get to this point it's hard to see that that could be accomplished obstacles overcome in just a matter of days committee how could thank you very much. let's get a view now from mexico our correspondent on homeowners in mexico city for us what was the reaction there. when the mexican delegation has just come out to speak in washington d.c. the press conference ended not long ago and they're also trying to talk up the deal as a success the the outcoming administration and the incoming administer the outgoing
10:06 pm
sorry administration the incoming administration has got representatives there and they all said that we presented a united front especially the incoming administration said we went there for damage limitation really with this process and we feel that we've got some wins out of this when you actually see the key point to this is kimberly there said it does seem more of a winning for the united states the mexico you'd expect out of the more powerful party in this trade deal and they were the ones that wanted to rigaud showed up as well as seventy five percent of car parts having to be made in this north american region also the fact that forty percent of car parts of the olds from a tree of production has to be from work has learning sixteen dollars or more an hour and that basically means workers from the united states or canada so that really can't be seen as a win in the short term for mexico we have to wait and see what the car makers the international call makers are in the country do about that where they start to move
10:07 pm
the parts to the united states routes out of the country where the next car manages to come to terms with and change and hopefully start paying its workers more which is what certainly the new incoming administration wants to happen but i think the general sensation here in the country is that there's been a lot of losses for nuff there especially for small scale farmers in the countryside they've seen their market basically flooded by subsidized large scale united states farm goods but there have been enough wins from this day when there's enough trade next book it's going to be united states eighty percent of. mexican exports go stateside really as long as the deal wasn't going to be too punishing for mexico they had to make it and that's what they've done now we have to see what comes next mexico would like to see canada also to be added to this in the cult in the conference call between president trump and president pena nieto with several reporters there president pena nieto said several times we really want to see
10:08 pm
canada at this as part of this deal his future foreign minister said that was indispensable so now we have to see what can happen with those negotiations gentlemen thank you very much. u.s. president donald trump has held talks with his kenyan counterpart in her kenyatta the white house is the second time trump has met a leader from sub-saharan africa since taking office that he just discussed trade in and investment as well as strengthening security cooperation. u.n. investigators say myanmar's top military generals should be investigated and prosecuted for genocide against the regime injure in rakhine state a new report describes the targeted killing of thousands of revenge or as the disintegration of a community it says the persecution of the muslim minority in myanmar has led to a system of institutionalized oppression from birth to death to me and more army

10:10 pm
international law genocide crimes against humanity and war crimes we have examined the period since two thousand and eleven. the violations we have identified during this period are part of a history of abusive military conduct going back at least half a century they continual repetition is the result of the complete immunity accorded to the military commanders and the virtually complete impunity of troops. now to jim jim there's more from cox's bazaar in neighboring bangladesh where hundreds of thousands of ranger refugees live in camps. for him to activists we've spoken with many of whom have been accusing the military and then more of genocide for some time now the news that a u.n. panel of investigators is recommending that top tier military officials in myanmar be charged with and put on trial for crimes of genocide is welcome news but they are cautiously optimistic the activists that we've spoken to have said look this
10:11 pm
sets a good precedent but it must be followed through they want to see the international criminal court actually step in and prosecute these officials in myanmar that have been accused of committing crimes of genocide but they also are aware they're telling us that this is something that could be riddled with complications it's going to be a difficult and long process what's interesting is that this news is coming just two days after there were mass demonstrations here include just a long campaign cox a bizarre bangladesh on saturday which was the first year anniversary of the brutal crackdown by me and mars military and rakim state a crackdown and violence that led to the exodus of over seven hundred thousand rohinton a we're now located here in the world's largest refugee camp in that anniversary on that day you had thousands of people demonstrating and they were carrying signs and they were calling that day genocide remember and say it was
10:12 pm
a day when it was the largest demonstration they were hindu had held and as the whole time that they had been in this camp they were remarkable scenes you had men and women and young and old and they were coming out and calling for accountability and a lot of what they said is really in line with what we heard from this you an investigative panel today so as i mentioned it is a sense of cautious optimism from the activists who we've spoken with but again they understand this is going to be a long and difficult process. the german chancellor angela merkel was warned vigilante justice will not be tolerated after a far right protests broke out in the eastern city of kemet hundreds to part of the rally with some reportedly chasing and attacking foreigners it follows the fatal stabbing of a man on sunday which police have blamed on syria and iraq a national zoo tensions have been high since metals government allowed a million asylum seekers to enter germany in twenty fifteen french president in one

10:19 pm
three hours of court time here on monday trying to do two things in front of the judges first of all to explain how very damaging the american sanctions were everything from issues to do with renewable energy projects aircraft parts car manufacturers who now couldn't invest in iran. sports going down the debasing of the iranian economy all of these things a direct result of the american sanctions program their lawyers said but at the same time trying to link that back to a nine hundred fifty five very obscure trade agreements sixty three years ago signed between the u.s. and iran a treaty of amity of friendship and a friendly behavior beside between the two countries and the iranians saying that the sanctions regime has broken the treaty of amity the lead lawyer for the iranian side made a very clear that they had no choice but to come to this court because all of the political and diplomatic avenues that simply fails trace the moment to
10:20 pm
a corner make greater. sense. of this view through the party demands did not succeed. iraq had no other choice bots to seize the international court of justice with the president's request on sixteen tomorrow because of the american side of course contest this entirely their legal team left without comment and they'll have their three hours here on tuesday their main argument is likely to be that the treaty that was signed when the u.s. and iran with friends sixty three years ago doesn't apply anymore because in the after nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution all the different sets american sanctions the ability fifty five some doesn't mean anything and anyway the americans have the biggest thing in their favor which is that even if in the end this court agrees with iran but decision might be binding but the u.s.
10:21 pm
doesn't actually have to go by what the court says so it's a good attempt i think by iran to try to get somewhere with this but ultimately likely to not be very successful the u.s. says it will block the reappointment of a judge at the world trade organization the appeals court holds hearings on international trade disputes the u.s. has consistently blocked new appointments since donald trump came to office the move would reduce the number of judges on the body to three which is the minimum number needed for the court to function diplomats warn of an impending crisis if no new judges are added to the bench russian opposition leader has been sentenced to thirty days in jail for breaking public protest nourse the conviction will prevent him from leading a planned anti-government rally next month around is one of president vladimir putin's most vocal critics he's been jailed repeatedly for organizing rallies egypt's foreign ministers in ethiopia for talks with their prime minister ahmed
10:22 pm
discussions are expected to center on ethiopia's grander nacelles dam project on the river nile egypt is concerned the multi-billion dollar project could leave it vulnerable to water shortages. interests of egypt an ethiopian the way in which to see future done projects as well as i'm going down projects and they are fundamentally different there's still not been enough trust the stablished between both parties despite these all these years of talks for these talks actually to yield any meaningful outcome officially gyptian rhetoric has changed significantly over the last five years the stop these this talk of war the possibility of airstrikes against a damn sight which i think is a good thing in egypt is in no position to wage war would accomplish very very little so that the only way you could return to negotiating table actually focus on the issues the better the problem as i said is that we've actually made very little progress on those talks themselves and the period it is going to take for the two for the reservoir to be to be filled and that remains a crucial issue because for ordinary egyptian farmers they need to know just how
