report will put pressure on both sides as we approach u.n. sponsored peace talks starting on september the sixth. alan fischer. debility. in other world news canada has rejoin talks with the u.s. to try to salvage the north america free trade agreement or a new version of the patent canada is under pressure after u.s. president donald trump announced on monday he'd reached a deal with mexico that could replace nafta all three countries have been working on a new agreement since last august but mexico and the u.s. recently began negotiating on their own now the north american free trade agreement or now after i came into force in one nine hundred ninety four the trillion dollar dealings half a billion people in canada the u.s. and mexico three countries agreed to remove trade barriers between them along with tariffs is the world's largest trade bloc the member economies generates around twenty one trillion dollars in gross domestic product every year nafta has increased competition against other large economic powerhouses like china and the

european union it's lowered the price of many goods and improves diplomatic relations between member countries but it did lead to the loss of u.s. manufacturing jobs and mexican farmers say nafta has put them out of business while i'm very pleased to welcome our bruce hayman to al-jazeera he's in aspen colorado he served as u.s. ambassador to canada from twenty fourteen until. gratian in twenty seventeen thank you very much for being with us on al-jazeera ambassador the canadians a bit worried it seems that it is deal between the u.s. and mexico what kind of a message is a trumpet ministration trying to send to justin to think. well i think it's a hostile message but one in which the canadians i think those people that know canadians around the world they'll take it in a disciplined and calm way and there is an opportunity for canada now to join the talks and to come up with

a very quick deal but the fact of the matter is this president like an arsonist who becomes the fire fighter puts the fire out there was no crisis here in until the president created one you say there was no crisis but yet this positive reaction today on the markets to this deal formalized between mexico and the united states. the the markets reacting to the fact that the president created the crisis and everybody was fearful that nafta was going to blow up that he was going to continue to put additional tariffs on auto and related on many of our partners around the world and people are interpreted in this as the president's moving back from many of his terror threats so the market is rallying as a result of backing away from the crisis that he created the reality is as you described this is one of the best trade deals in the entire world two of the three top trading partners with the united states or canada and mexico and north of

a trillion dollar deal creating millions of jobs so what should trump's priorities then be in negotiating with canada now and do you think there's any way the two leaders. can meet in the middle considering the very public disagreement stand had in recent months. so i think what the trump administration has to do is separate the personal emotional issues that the president has and work with facts and so here are the facts for everybody who's watching today between the u.s. and canada our trade is six hundred seventy billion dollars the u.s. has a trade surplus with canada it has a trade surplus in steel and dairy and before the u.s. put on steel and aluminum tariffs on canada ninety nine point nine percent of all trade with canada was terra free thirty five of our states in the united states their number one export market is canada this is too important we create millions of jobs he got himself a motional in his relationship with trudeau and i think that he needs to step back

a minute in and realize that this is the most important trading relationship the u.s. has and it's not just canada and the us donald trump has other trade wars going on which should be the priority as far as you can because you're concerned which country should be should he be focusing more on it's not canada and mexico as you say. the largest issue is china and i think everybody recognizes that and it's not just the deficit it's the protection of intellectual property and the entire working relationship with china needs to be the focus now fighting with your own allies in taking. you know tariffs with mexico and canada and then the you are you know mr directed i think and i think that fighting battles on multiple fronts on any whether militarily or through trade is a huge mistake so if the president can consolidate his allies all work together i think we can get

a good deal with china going forward as well but he's trying to fight many battles all over the world thank you very much for speaking to us and sharing your views with us ambassador heyman former u.s. ambassador to canada on line from colorado thank you. now the u.s. has told a top u.n. court that it has no jurisdiction to rule on tehran's legal challenge against washington's renewed sanctions iran wants the international court of justice to suspend the sanctions after washington pulled out of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal tehran has accused the u.s. of prodding what it calls economics chank elation. iran's request warrants another observation before i proceed it rests on the basis of a treaty who central purpose friendship with the united states iran has expressly and repeatedly disavowed since one nine hundred seventy nine in its words and actions by sponsoring terrorism and other malign activity against united states citizens and interests. in other words the situation that the parties find

themselves in today is nowhere near what was contemplated when the treaty was concluded in one nine hundred fifty five. meanwhile iranian members of parliament have rejected the president's blaming of u.s. sanctions for the struggling economy hasan rouhani was summoned to parliament for the first time to explain why prices and unemployment rising while the value of the currency is falling on him and voted earlier this month to sack both the labor and finance ministers chiro you know i will tell you. why have the people's hopes changed why in regard to ron's future they are in doubt and beyond that even in regard to the glory of the system the strength of the system growth for the future they have dealt this is dealt we must get rid of we will not allow a bunch of anti iranians that today had gathered in the white house to plot against us the white house will not be happy with the end of today's session. a possible

syrian government just pensive in the last remaining rebel stronghold in the north has been at the center of the u.n. security council meeting russia a key ally of syrian president bashar assad called those emergency talks early in the crimean war in the us against taking any reckless steps after the u.s. vowed a strong reaction to any chemical or biological attack there is the last remaining opposition stronghold and his encircled by syrian government forces. i think even. russian propaganda that this is an extraordinary. story the commander of british forces in the coalition. has said that the claims are ridiculous. of course we are not going to do anything remotely. to a chemical weapons attack we take chemical weapons probably responsibility seriously one of. the syrian forces do not have chemical weapons and have no

plans to use them there is no military need for that we have stated this more than once people in their right minds would not use means that are used as from a military point of view that would trigger reprisals by three major powers published a t. of an expected propagation could only strikes thank you for the warning but we also want to warn you that we are absolutely aware of your unsavory plans we strongly suggest you refrain from them carrying out these plans with further deliver a strike against a peaceful resolution in syria we are seeing how some western countries are clearly supporting. the chemical topic is cruelly manipulated to put pressure on damascus just saber rattling to deal with internal domestic issues. and russia is preparing its largest military exercises. a thousand. at the. twenty eighteen war games next month chinese and mongolian troops are also

expected to participate. still ahead here on al-jazeera a setback for peace south sudan's rebel leader react refuses to sign a deal to end the civil war plus awkward steps or a firm footing on the continent theresa may makes her first trip to south africa. hello there it's generally quite quiet across many parts of the middle east at the moment it's hot and sunny for most of us but there are a few areas where there's slightly different types of weather we're seeing a bit more cloud up in the phone with east imposible i'm up and that's giving us one or two showers and i think for the northern parts of turkey we're also seeing some more cloud there for wednesday and there's a chance of

a few outbreaks of rain as well that system gradually edges its way eastwards as we head through thursday though and so most of us here should see dry weather to elsewhere is just pretty hot at the moment with baghdad all the way up at forty seven degrees now here in doha it's not quite that hot because things have suddenly got more humid and they'll stay humid over the next few days while max moment when say thirty nine degrees but expect it to be a very sticky thirty nine there's a bit of a cloud around the south coast of oman that's pushing its way further inland as we had three thursday so i think a cloud over parts of i man into yemen just about into saudi arabia as well and that will be giving us want to showers around the coast around so low as you'd expect around this time of year at and so was the southern parts of africa largely fine and dry because the the winds bringing in a little bit more moisture and that's what we'll see as we head through wednesday so a few showers around mozambique maybe a couple in madagascar as well but away from there it's fine and dry sixteen the maximum in cape town.
