10:00 pm
dairy market to u.s. farmers that was something which nafta did not provide for and you're also going to see a rise in the pay that workers get automotive products which is something that could be not so much to the benefit of mexico where workers are tend to be paid considerably less than workers in the u.s. or in canada but one big thing that does not change in this late breaking deal between the u.s. and canada is the u.s. is tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum imports those tariffs still remain trade officials here in the u.s. say that those are being dealt with in a different venue and that this new agreement which is supposed to replace nafta would not address those concerns daniel in toronto not an easy relationship between donald trump and justin trudeau where does this leave cross border trade. well i think the trudeau administration here would say it's going to be better than
10:01 pm
it was they needed to get this deal done canada depends on the united states for seventy five percent of its foreign trade and business and it's no exaggeration to say the country's prosperity is based on that trade having said that as roslyn was saying there will be some giveaways by canada including access to the highly protected dairy market and those tariffs on steel alone and aluminum canadian officials are telling us that those will be dealt with they will disappear at some point but i think there's a great sigh of relief here that there's a deal at all and one that guarantees continued canadian access to the most important market it has and will have john homan in mexico city john i mean there are some big u.s. multinationals have production hubs in mexico so what does this mean for mexican workers because the labor bills in mexico historically a lot lower than in canada and a lot lower than in the united states. and i think
10:02 pm
mexico is really as rosalind said it pays its workers especially in the car industry significantly lower than the united states and in canada another thing here also is that unions a week to almost nonexistent especially in that car making sector which president trump was really targeting so i think that the government perhaps will see that it's given up ground on that sector to make that deal but perhaps mexico workers will be better off for that in the long term that their wages might go up as a result if not the mexico is going to lose out on trade and they will have more rights to collective bargaining so i think that mexico as a whole here is as danielle said in response kind of there is going to be relieved about doing this deal they're going to be relieved that canada is going to be added to the deal they had with the united states between mexico and the united states it was always going to be a very unequal tug of war now they've got canada also in the picture it makes things a bit more fair and balanced those two countries can come against the united states
10:03 pm
when it serves both their interests or it's a bit more of a level playing field now. in washington rosalyn donald trump this time yesterday talking about how he'd fallen in love with kim jong il in pyongyang and the north korean leader presumably he's not about to fall in love with justin trudeau but for this trumpet ministration how do they know pitch that relationship with auto. well essentially this is going to be a very transactional relationship i think when we hear from the u.s. president at approximately fifteen g. not only is he going to be talking about what a great deal his negotiators have conducted and what they have actually brought back but you are also going to hear a perhaps the president talk about the expectations that he will have not just on justin trudeau but on the incoming president of mexico mr over at off about how they should be enforcing these trade deals because one thing that analysts have
10:04 pm
pointed out peter is that the president is very happy to slap tariffs on any government which he feels is not giving the united states enough of what donald trump thinks the u.s. ought to be getting and so there's always that outside risk of some sort of trade war on issues that will not be covered under this new deal and the other point is that this is simply an agreement between three heads of government all of the legislatures in these three countries still have to approve this new deal and so they now have to do a lot of hard work themselves convincing their legislatures that this new treaty would actually be better than nafta was and so there's still a lot of political work and in fact donald trump may find himself doing more politicking with members of congress then he will have been doing either with justin trudeau or with the current mexican president and then make a penny and yet though ok we will leave our discussion there thank you all roslyn jordan in washington daniel lak in toronto john holeman in mexico city thanks gosh
10:05 pm
. well morgan still to come for you here on the news hour including celebrate macedonia. the referendum to change the country's name is ruled invalid because of a low turnout. the nobel prize for medicine has been awarded to immunologists we'll look at their achievements and the history of the prizes. and in sports basketball's biggest star debuts for his new team and will be here with that story in about thirty minutes. the iranian military says it's hit positions in syria linked to a group it suspects was behind last week's attack on a military parade in the city of of oz several missiles struck the kemal region of eastern syria last week twenty five people were killed when gunmen opened fire on a military parade many of the victims were members of the elite iranian
10:06 pm
revolutionary guard our correspondents in basra be live for us in the news out in the iranian capital tehran zain do you get the feeling where you are that this is this is as far as the iranian government is going to go with this well peter it's really hard to say at this point in time we've been hearing from leaders this morning and they've been suggesting that this is only the beginning now in terms of when this attack happened there was vows by the military by the iranian revolutionary guard corps saying that they would exact a tough revenge and that's exactly what they say they've done but in terms of what the civilian and military leaders in tehran have been saying they're suggesting that this kind of action signals the beginning of a trend not the culmination of the of the events of this last week just this morning foreign minister to me addressed a question about what message these missiles were meant to send and here's what he
10:07 pm
had to say. if there were supposed to be messages the i.r.g.c. would have said so in their statement but as anywhere in the world any measures taken by military or politicians carry some messages maybe the obvious messages of iran's decisive will to conduct a permanent serious fight against centers that produce train and equip terrorism at different levels what happened early this morning from the i r g c s forces in fact was this will. soon the u.s. defense secretary jim masses saying you know those allegations that we're hearing a lot of this time last week were ludicrous that response that stands clearly getting zero traction with the government in tehran absolutely the iranians have long blamed and accused the united states for backing off elements of eisel inside syria in iraq and they say that it is part of the strategy to weaken the government of president bashar al assad in syria as well as
10:08 pm
to counter iran's of iran's ability to combat the islamic state in iraq and syria but. in essence both these countries iran and the united states have been fighting islam and states groups inside iraq and syria in tandem but somehow disconnected from each other but iran's official policy is if they have the evidence to suggest that the united states has been backing up the islamic state as well as other groups inside syria for some time they say this information is far too confidential to make public but that there certainly this part this is part of the united states and its allies strategy to try to create instability in the region and to try to create instability inside iran as well you get the sense where you are saying that for the for the leadership the dichotomy here because they've got to maintain that that line of separation because if they don't maintain that line of separation that comes to going after islamic state ice or so-called they then run the risk of just getting sucked into a broader conflict and then other external players may react to an added presence
10:09 pm
or an added involvement on their part. well certainly if that's how it would play out to sort of blur the lines they're really not seeing it that way everything that's happened since saturday a week ago was ever since then the iranian leadership here has made efforts to really blur the line between who committed the attack and who may have been behind it they've been very vague about the exact identity of the attackers and hughes the attack itself seemingly as an opportunity to try to hit out as many the traditional and new enemies as possible they say that yes it was a separatist but they're backed by foreign groups they said yes islamic state remains a threat and an enemy to iran but they're backed up by the united states by israel by allies it has in the gulf including saudi arabia and the u.a.e. really pointing a finger at as many people as possible and this stems from this thought here among the iranian elites in the leadership in civilian and military circles that there is
10:10 pm
a broader conspiracy at work and this really is in context of iranian history in the past in one nine hundred eighty s. during the iran iraq war they came across a conglomeration of enemies made up of not just iraq but of other arab neighbors as well as backing by the united states that they really do see their national security within the context of the region in context of that history zain thanks very much let's get more on that one. a military analyst and retired army general in the lebanese army he says it's unclear who exactly was responsible for that attack. so far we didn't have the exact information about the outcome of this hit but that evolution of the guard declared that they launched ballastic missiles against the small village system which was one of the remaining pockets of isis in the region claiming that those people in this village where responsible for
10:11 pm
the attack in are valid but you see that when the attack on and after taken place we have seen a declaration from the front of struggle for liberation of a vast and claiming it is sponsibility on this for this attack and the day after we heard something from isis was also. with. a small movie from isis showing the four members of isis that committed this attack so either this front for liberation of isis is an offshoot of i was an offshoot of isis or there is a cooperation between isis and those people who backed but so anyway the revolutionary guard said that the people lower responsible and planned and
10:12 pm
led this operation where and that. they hit that target by the ballistic missile. a bid by the former yugoslav republic of macedonia to change its name has failed so now sunday's referendum had strong support but the turnout did not reach the fifty percent threshold required to make it valid just over a third of voters cost a ballot with ninety percent of them supporting the new name the republic of north macedonia the government wanted the name changed to help end the decades old dispute with greece the country's leader has now pledged a parliamentary vote on the name change was easier 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
10:13 pm
member of the macedonian parliament is let's put the national interest the interest of the citizens and the strategic interests of the state above politics and party interests. scott joins us live now from sculpey a parliamentary vote does that mean the name change will actually happen that. there are two options right now the prime ministers or as i have said in the next few days there will be you would try for the constitutional changes here in the parliament he asked for does support from was this show and these that constitutional changes to be successful let's meet in mind that must have gone you know needs to be and of these here to make the changes in the constitution change for constitutional amendments one of them the most important thing in africa reference nords to the name of republican. and new name of this country will be
10:14 pm
a republic of north. but prime ministers runs i've said that this is not ok is that. country is going to lead general elections but he said these selection real big plays twenty fifth of november not to affect the implementation of the agreement we raised because any postponing of these. eventually early election can be problematic for implementation and freeman. very briefly maya why was the turnout so low. apologist i think we've lost our communications there with sculpey able trying to back but if we can in the next hour or so time for the weather. yes plays well we may well see our first rainfall in l.a. since may so this could be of some significance mind she got about twelve million people on flood watch in the u.s.
10:15 pm

10:17 pm
10:18 pm
well again you're with al jazeera this is the news are these are your headlines hundreds of bodies have been buried in a mass grave in indonesia struggles with the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami international help will soon be on its way to the island of sooner we see the official death toll is now standing at eight hundred forty four but the final death toll is predicted to number into the thousands from canada the u.s. and mexico have reached a new trade deal to replace the north america free trade agreement master that donald trump wants dismissed as a disaster he's called the new deal a historic transaction that was agreed up to the canadian prime minister elderly cabinet meeting ahead of a u.s. imposed monday deadline. iran's military says it positions in syria linked to a group it suspects was behind last week's attack on a military parade several missiles struck the region of eastern syria last week twenty five people were killed when a gunman opened fire on a parade in our city. israeli forces have ordered palestinians in can
10:19 pm
to destroy their own village and leave it by midnight on monday they say if the deadline isn't met they'll go in and demolish the village themselves last month the israeli supreme court approved the demolition to make way for more illegal settlements imran khan has more now from. this is the village of qana which has been given until the end of the first of october to demolish all of these houses it was a notice given by the israeli army and they say if the residents don't demolish these houses that they will come in and demolish them after this high court order was given in the beginning of september but let me just show you this over here this is what residents are telling me is a cesspool of waste coming from the nearby settlement. israeli settlement into the valley next to where the people are the residents here say it's actually part of a campaign of harassment by the israeli settlers against the village themselves and
10:20 pm
it's quite impossible to tell where that waste water is coming from but the residents tell us every night this fills up with waste that they say is coming from israeli settlements. meanwhile palestinian activists are expressing solidarity with khan as part of a general strike the strike was organized to protest against israel's nation state law school stores and other facilities have been shot across the occupied west bank gaza and east jerusalem the nation state law was passed by the knesset in july and gives the right of self-determination to jewish people only. turn your attention to europe breaks it the u.k. minister responsible for making sure that actually happens today said his government is preparing for a new deal divorced from the rest of europe dominic rob was addressing the annual governing conservative party conference in the city of burning up the less than six months to go before britain is due to leave the e.u. paul brennan is live for us there at the conference so paul clearly the e.u.
10:21 pm
favors hash tag checkers they don't think the checkers plan has any real life left in it what's the stance there. a very mixed dance here i'd say peter i mean certainly in the medo auditorium the loyalty that's being shown towards the prime minister by the ministers succession of whom have been giving their speeches here at conference has been pretty solid we've had to keep note speeches today one from dominic grab the bricks at secretary and the other from philip hammond the chancellor of the exchequer both of whom extolling the virtues of the checkers plan despite what the e.u. leaders said back insults back dominic growled for example he said that i do i think the deal that we are pursuing is perfect of course not but he said he was a stubborn optimist and he said he warned that the u.k.'s willingness to compromise was not without limits the u.k. may have no choice but to opt for a no deal if the e.u.
10:22 pm
tries to lock us into a customs union and philip hammond said that donald tusk says checkers won't work that's what they said about the light bulb he said back in eight hundred seventy eight we will stand for square behind the prime minister. when the prime minister gets a deal agreed there will be a boost to our economy a deal divident he said so in the auditorium loyalty away from the auditorium in the fringe meetings in the various meeting rooms that are happening around this large building less loyal to the bridge group in the boat group notorious euro skeptic organizations think tanks they met this morning and in the meeting there voted eighty eight to one for a check check is in motion want to see the one was who voted against it frankly but eighty eight to one they voted to support chuck checketts so yeah that the party is deeply divided even though it's not being expressed in the main or that story is this exposing those divisions the pull in
10:23 pm
a way that maybe makes the leadership missy's may feel quite uncomfortable granted behind the scenes. speculation about teresa mayes future has been running rife for weeks now and check his plan has been rubbished by all sides from the europeans to the right wingers within her own party and even the labor party the opposition party which says that unless the conservatives meet six tests and the delayed bottle votes against it one wonders how she's managed to labor on says to soldier on in charge that said though she remains absolutely convinced that helped plan is the best plan that is possible in the circumstances and she's going to continue on and despite the sniping and the fire and fewer that's coming from characters such as boris johnson now outside the cabinet but using his newspaper column to keep ridicule on the three samantha check is planned despite that kind of criticism that doesn't appear to be anybody willing
10:24 pm
to actively challenge for the prime ministership at the moment snow job is safe for the time being briefly paul what do you think this is doing to the state of politics in the u.k. you know here's the tories everyone basically says chair. because won't work or everyone's telling mrs may look it won't work it like it lived for two days between checkers on the friday and going back to the house of commons on the monday last week we had jeremy corbyn the labor party conference the main opposition party saying look we'll give you maybe a referendum on the promise of a possibility when we go back to the house of commons and you can kind of understand why more and more people on social media saying just do something anything because this cannot carry on as it is. that you know you look at social media they exist ration that's being expressed ridicule that's being expressed on social media for the whole political classes i was in liverpool are we could go for the labor party conference without and the people that despite
10:25 pm
the traditional labor supporters you might think would would support a pro european stance because that's what labor's leaning towards of these now that they're still pretty much progress here in birmingham you know taking the temperature of the water people most of them going voted progresses as well so there's exasperate as to why the politicians can't do a deal or just get out no deal they just want to get it done paul thanks ok let's go back to our top story for you the devastation in indonesia where the death toll has reached eight hundred forty four after the tsunami and the earthquake there four days ago but rescue teams are struggling to get to many towns mary aronson story is a lecture on global law and disasters at the university of reading she joins us here on the news hour mary aronson story what's your reading of the speed of the response to this particular disaster. while my first reading of course faith outs it is slow we have seen now it's
10:26 pm
been several days since me here yes we're still seeing villages that have not been reached by and by authorities of eight monies ations and so there is a really big worry that a lot of people who may have been saved will no longer be able to be saved because of this delay and the delay of course it's partly due to the damage that has been done to the infrastructure but also due to limited resources and the region mass graves no communication with a big area in the region was the main challenge as the rescue operation steps up again. the main challenge of course right now is to reach the affected areas to reach all affected areas and to find any possible survivors before it's too plaints second to that is to
10:27 pm
prevent the secondary disaster of a massive disease outbreak and in order for that to happen there needs to be significant attention paid to that provision of of clean water and hygiene and sanitation facilities and services across the region is not especially challenging when you're talking about a developing nation. yes it is especially challenging in terms of resources and what we're seeing of course indonesia as how it's simply a horrific year when it comes to earthquakes we've seen throughout the summer in july and august in the region of long back just suffering from the earthquake after earthquake having significant and highly costly damage done to human lives and infrastructure and of course it means that the resources that they have to put to worst institute was its response but also to to prevent damage us and to prepare for the southeastern us are somewhat limited and that is of course affected by
10:28 pm
their economical status which is unfortunately. negatively affected by these disasters so there's a risk of a very negative spiral happening in indonesia right now and when it comes to when it could put me for interrupting but when it comes to that ongoing development this is not a binary equation is it it's like two steps forward one steps but one step back as soon as a country gets back on an even keel something else like this happens so it knocks it back in time when it comes to that process of evolving and getting wealthier and getting more stable absolutely and we have seen increasing acknowledgment on the global level about the connection between disasters and developments and the importance of what we call disaster risk reduction so increasingly make sure that any development effort is paid attention to discuss the risks and to the vulnerabilities of the region and in the course of
10:29 pm
the nation's case it is very vulnerable to our place so it's important that a lot of investment needs to go in to build a society that is that is resistant and resilient to course just earthquakes and when that doesn't have that doesn't happen when that then we will see it in turn affect available negatively ok we have to leave it there mary aaronson story there in writing thank you very much. the nobel prize for medicine has been awarded to two immunologists for their work on cancer therapies james p. allison and to circle honcho separately discovered and developed cancer treatments which improve the human immune system the body can better attack cancer cells allison is based in the u.s. on joe is japanese ok let's take a look back at the history of the prize is charlotte dallas. the first when i was a male adult then bearing in one thousand or one he films the antibodies could be transferred between people and animals and talked up theory antibodies from horses
