one m.t.b. scandal hit the headlines not to have made use of the repressive laws that he did heritage and he came up with one of his own the anti fake news act that all fake news is connected to the when m.t.v. scandal or any other corruption cases that involves the government so basically what they're trying to say is that i don't believe anything that you see on the internet unless we say so unless we sanction so this whole fake news thing was basically the last act that i put out there just before the elections to try to scare people the government tried to you know to use antifreeze means law against during the election campaign it was claiming that there was an attempt to stop him from actually within his nomination papers in time for this things law that shows that you know there is that in the step in the right direction. did away with the anti fake news act last month but there are other laws the sedition act introduced

under british colonial rule back in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight it still remains in effect the definition of sedition under that no is extremely cruel and in twenty fifteen alone not to be used the law ninety one times almost five times as often as during the first fifty years of the law its existence. one of the people accused under that law was a cartoonist. has always had trouble publishing his work during the had his previous time in office none of the major newspapers would dare hire him but over the last ten years not found that he didn't need publishes he's self published on social media and highlighted the corruption of magic and not jobs wife his many luxury handbags and diamonds are a gift to satirical cartoonists that didn't go down while. i was charging seditious nine times and banned from leaving. the country when the new government came into

power. i found out that my travel ban had been lifted they also dropped all the sedition charges against me thank you very best for that but i think this is still not enough so that the petition is very very big and anybody can be big the movie you broke up to sedition somebody to write something sedition if you do some speech seditious what the government needs to do is to abolish the sedition. in the months after the election malaysia and monetary experience to suit a honeymoon period they came together to oppose not just his trial date has been set with phone media access despite not jobs request for a gag order. however his campaign promise to review all repressive media regulation

remains unfulfilled and in august military announced that the official secrets act is here to stay there are the things that he needs to do in order to. redeem himself. he needs to bring back the independence of the judiciary so that we have a real democracy the judiciary has been emasculated and it was done by him. it will be a real test of his sincerity to. give it back its independence i think. he is redeeming himself he has allowed people to debate on so many issues and you can see columns and articles written questioning him insulting he criticizing him and we haven't seen anyone complaining that he's been told to snip it out so far not here. this is what. i

portray him as. we destroy every institution. to listen to people they have a very difficult no two think in the city you should. understand before mondale is a dictator. and we don't change the. data doesn't change. and finally back to britain and the campaign calling for a second bracks at referendum a number of artists there are backing the movement on social media musicians backa and michael how might have formed a group they call the harold patch they've released a song entitled oh what a lovely breck's it it's a parody of that old stage musical based on world war one or what a lovely war and like the original the song relies on that staple of british humor irony to tell britons that it's not too late to jump back up the cliff we'll leave

plan. canada the u.s. and mexico reach a new try lateral trade deal to replace the north america free trade agreement on nafta. i'm about this and this is all just a lie from doha also coming up indonesia accepts international help to recover from the earthquake and tsunami with fears the final death toll may be in the thousands . celebrations in macedonia after a referendum to change the country's name is ruled in valid because of a low turnout. and the white house denies it's trying to limit the f.b.i.

investigation into u.s. president donald trump's supreme court nominee threats coming out. canada the u.s. and mexico have reached a new trilateral trade deal to replace the one thousand nine hundred four north america free trade agreement or nuff to the new deal will be called the united states mexico canada agreement canada's prime minister justin trudeau is how the late night cabinet meeting ahead of a u.s. imposed monday deadline u.s. president donald trump blamed for the loss of american manufacturing jobs. reports . this deal that would replace now is called the us embassy a short for us mexico canada agreement and it is being trumpeted by senior u.s. administration officials as a win for all three countries major provisions here include benefiting u.s.

dairy farmers by opening up the dairy market in canada as well as protections offered to the canadian auto industry to a degree from a possible future u.s. tariffs on auto this deal would also require more auto production to take place within the u.s. and within the north american region as well as shore of intellectual property protections and strengthen labor visions to in the words of senior administration officials even the playing field between the u.s. and mexico now this u.s. m.c.a. deal is the result of an eleventh hour push that ends more than a year of talks that had its fair share of stalls and starts now the top of ministration will of course say this is a big win on a campaign promise for his american first policy however there are still hurdles ahead this trigger is now sixty days for trump and his mexican and canadian

counterparts to sign off on the deal but that does not make it final then the u.s. congress must approve this trade treaty they're expected to do so in the coming year which is going to be after the u.s. midterm elections if democrats win control of the house of representatives in november ratification for this trade agreement may be a bigger hurdle ahead john donne you're lucky because more from georgia. well i think that you know as he came out of the cabinet meeting he called late every record cabinet meeting late on sunday night he didn't have much to say but he said it was a good day for canada and our major trading partners so that's going to be if you like the spin going forward win win win situation for all three countries that's what we expect there we really need to see see the details now some of those are emerging from sources in the canadian government probably being cherry picked to make the canadian argument look the best so far we'll need the actual text to get

it figured out for ourselves but it looks like the canadians did hang on to some of the things they wanted from the old now agreement they had to give up something that was quite important to them politically and that was access to their protected market for dairy products to you u.s. farmers who want to export here but they got to keep things like the dispute resolution mechanism that was a neutral arbiter in trade disputes with the u.s. and they probably escaped from some of the tariffs the president from has been imposing on aluminum steel and he was threatening to do it on cars from canada as well but will probably be either lifted or suspended for the time being or not imposed but again we need detail and we need lots of it because right now everyone saying they want indonesia's president accepting international help to recover from friday's earthquake and tsunami mosque raids are being dug to stop the spread of disease most of the eight hundred people confirmed dead are in the city of pablo six metre high waves destroyed everything in the path there's been no word yet from

god on the city thirty kilometers to the north many remote areas are still cut off only so it's up to reports the difficult task of looking for survivors this is what is left in the city off bottle after friday's make that the seven point five earthquake and tsunami rescue workers frantically trying to find those who may still be alive so its efforts are being hampered by block roads and the collapse prayed. rescue teams stuck by hand to free twenty four people trapped in the rubble of this hotel the owner told local media people could still be heard crying for help but no heavy lifting equipment was available dozens remain missing in the city of over three hundred thousand those who did survive the quake and tsunami that follow now have to try to lift off anything they can find things like this of people looting local shops and siphoning petrol from cars are becoming the norm. is

very slowly coming in many injured are being evacuated but the red cross estimates that more than one point six million people have been affected but the concerns about the nearby. where the impact is still unclear. is home to over two hundred seventy thousand people the indonesian president is visiting to assess the damage and rita so the people more help is on the way. i have seen directly the situation in the field the real conditions everything is still that an emergency status but the most important thing i would like to emphasize to all ministries military police and regional administrations is first to focus on all things related to evacuation but for now these continue to feel the streets of. being one not to return to their homes aftershocks continue. people affected by the earthquake and tsunami have been talking about what the gone through. it struck i just finished my shopping i was at the cashier suddenly

everything went dark the wall started falling around us it was horrible i rushed to the broken escalator with my daughter and we made it outside to safety. we were having some snacks on the beach living felt the earthquake i mediately ran i told my son in law to grab his children from the mall and someone told me he was just after we successfully evacuated sunday night at the mercy of the second i've got my son here and my mother she got washed away and stuck in a mango tree joining the tsunami with my other kids she was bleeding from the. person a christian is a communications director at world vision indonesia and she says it's been extremely hard to help victims in the worst affected areas. the government made them put out the medical plan on plan b. somebody made because than our bill so they can do. make us

a fly for all. these months to the effect that people all while they also still doing the government is doing the every question and it's also the challenge to do this equation because a lot of a building collapse so we need the heavy equipment to make and get them by the under the collapse of the building how people in palo they all building their own temple or the sea out in front of their house because they feel of france that the quake will happen again the aftershocks don't happen until the last my so they make up their part of the south of two or three families to get to one of the south and they're trying to surprise looking for a fourth and also the clean water is freddie only me because the clean water pipeline is also broken the markup and the saudi state of cloth so that is the

challenge and the people do it for the rule get the supply off the floor and also the water while they also be looking for their family members looking to find their missing family or avail of the yes while and also the electricity goes down so that the condition. in by low heat the right now to be would have been killed and more than one hundred injured as a typhoon battered japan's main island typhoon trami cut power to nearly half a million homes has caused widespread transport disruption with more than a thousand flights grounded forecasters are warning of flooding and landslides. macedonia's bid to change its name has failed sunday's referendum had strong support but the turnout to didn't reach the fifty percent threshold needed to make it valid just over a third of voters cast ballots with ninety percent of them supporting the new name the republic of north macedonia the government wanted the change to help and

a decades old dispute with greece tension between macedonia and greece started in one thousand nine hundred one that's when macedonia declared independence after breaking away from yugoslavia during the balkan wars greece objected to the new name saying it represented a claimant a territory because it's got a province called macedonia the un and other international organizations opted to refer to the country as the former yugoslav republic of macedonia greece blocked macedonia's attempt to join nato and the european union renaming the country north macedonia could have helped to resolve this macedonia as leaders says the low turnout doesn't mean he should step down instead he has pledged a parliament vote on the name change. not to take it again i know the opposition knows all the citizens know there is and there can be no better agreement with greece there is and there can be no alternative to macedonia as membership of nato

and the e.u. let's not play games with our unity and our macedonia my personal message to every member of the macedonian parliament is let's put the national interest of the interest of the citizens and the strategic interests of the state above politics and party interests but the main opposition party says it's shameful for the government to push for the name change. this was an unsuccessful referendum the policies of. governments have been a debacle the true winner is macedonia the number of citizens who didn't support this shameful remans citizens of the vote or those who voted against it is stressed dick.
