why there are eleven of us we haven't been allowed to board. the indonesian president has been trying to reassure the people of that help is on its way. we will send as much food as we can today by hercules aircraft directly from jakarta. these are the problems we're trying to solve as well we're expecting fuel to get to politic day because special flights have been sent there because one of the main challenges facing rescue workers has been the lack of heavy equipment to dig for survivors for now they're using whatever tools they can find or their bare hands to try to get to those buried under the rubble wayne hay al jazeera jakarta. andrew thomas is in paul so on his way to apollo. like so many others out same as trying to reach probably you can't fly there on commercial planes direct in any way once you get there there are no calls available no food no water all those things those supplies things that we need to have power from the only ones those in this

huge queue of traffic are trying to get in a city that's a six hour drive away from poland where here in the nearest place that we could see all those in these miracles are trying to get fuel to drive to probably because they're worried about relatives they want to take their own supplies in but this is just the starting point outspoken visions in that city well all day on sunday the military was digging big graves mass graves and many hundreds of people will be buried in dollars on monday indonesia's government meanwhile has early on monday said that this disaster is of such a scale that they now welcome for a night that is significant with a long like the few weeks ago in the nation's government that it was able to cope on a very different this time around they are welcoming foreign aid they want to get as much as quickly as possible so as well as all these people once they get fuel in the cause driving. on a personal level to official foreign aid should be reaching into.

one that's a former head of the disaster and crisis unit at the international federation of red cross and west krebs red crescent societies he joins us via skype now from kuala lumpur thanks very much for being with us so here we are a few days on now from this tsunami what is the most urgent need of people right now and what is how does that fit in what with what you organization is doing you know the. cause of this plane. needs of these planes we're we're looking at. rescue operations continue at this moment they are not of we also continue to provide relief yes pointing continuing to provide food and water we are continuing to provide need every need the people need at this time cycle social support they need because of the the trauma that has

to be posed by these events and of course their most pressing is also to make sure that some of them who have been displaced that this point because homes i've been damaged roofs over their heads a daytime at least because most of them and at nighttime they're covered from the elements those are the basic needs at this moment and it's cause we're hoping to get relief teams on the ground in areas which have not been breached and i used to hope for that people can be people can still be found alive. we can all we cannot lose hope in this case i think we we can find because they are always in these cases you can see people of how it is going to the u.n. days after that because their pockets and we cannot lose hauled but we are running against time of course the time is of a sense and this points we are providing both face only to come return

fire rescue operations with time to its civil operations but again our risk is there not give hope at this point and you're running against difficult very difficult terrain and lack of infrastructure there as well aren't you just looking at some of the pictures there the challenge of getting a through when when roads are submerged and bridges collapsed i mean how how much of a problem is that for you and your staff. absolutely logistics challenges faces constrained because of the circumstances of just explained and that's has actually is slowed down the teams in terms of getting so we it's only yesterday evening when we got that fast the indonesian it crossed reaching don't allow which was that a piece and you can see that was because of the access challenges as you rightly say the airports were in was was damaged and they had to land.

eight hour drive away in order to drive all the way and cause the roads are still damaged up to this moment but gradually we teams are reaching now as you've seen teams are reaching now and then and people are coming out and they will help each other we're mobilizing through other ways rio we have teams which are deployed by helicopter to some extent we are way up i mean people but again they. supplies will have to go by rote and that will take time and we're talking here of course about a region that is unfortunately been prone to disasters like this manmade natural disasters like this rather how does this compare with what the other ones what you're seeing right now. yeah so in comparison in other words we cannot assume not to disasters they may look alike but that they are very different in a sense if you look at just july last july early august up to meet us in

just around one thousand five hundred kilometers away from swallow is the one island. we had we had seen as of after exceptionally four major ones which caused the devastation there but the impact was totally different from what we've seen in . central sulawesi this central solo is paid can mean the tsunami and that has created a double sort of a double disaster and and that's the last time they had a tsunami in indonesia the major one if you wonder cause was the one for fall december tenth two thousand and four but battles a must've tsunami a compared to this one so so the compiler is on yes is there but in terms of this carol and again we have to put it context here if you're talking in an area palu is a city of three hundred thousand people and if you have an extent of damage ria majority of people have been affected that's

a huge in terms of proportion so jesus says it's not just the numbers sometimes it's the proportion of affected populations in that area. and the damage is the same no the extent of what she sees them in terms of the needs will be the same and people will need what people in the shelves are people who will need to be supported to move reach their mental health and sakal social support the challenges and logistical and we will get bits of slowed down you know aid efforts yeah it is a huge challenge and we certainly wish you the best thing in your efforts to get much needed help to people who appreciate you talking to us nessa for and my candy from the i.c.r.c. thanks very much. now finding ways to communicate can be difficult in the chaotic aftermath of a natural disaster especially if your family is separated leah tell us more about that yeah well we still don't know the full scale of devastation of the tsunami but

much of what we do know is coming from social media this drone footage here from palo in indonesia went viral it shows the devastating impact of the earthquake that started the tsunami and killed more than eight hundred people you can see from this video why the death toll is still expected to rise now because pollo is so remote and because of electrical outages it's taking some time to find videos online though we are slowly getting a better picture of what happened as told by twitter and facebook now we keep seeing more videos like this posted from the day of the tsunami from people who actually survived it well we're actually going to go live to washington d.c. where u.s. president donald trump is addressing the media following the signing of the new trade deal with mexico and canada and to announce that we have successfully completed negotiations on

a brand new deal to terminate and replace nafta and the nafta trade agreements with an incredible new us mexico canada agreement called us m.c.a. it sort of just works m. keith and us m. c. thank you that'll be the name i guess that ninety nine percent of the time will be hearing us m.c.a. has a good ring to it i have long contended that nafta was perhaps the worst trade deal ever made. since nafta is adoption the united states racked up trade deficits totaling more than two trillion dollars and it's a much higher number than that with canada and mexico it lost vast amounts of money and lost four point one million manufacturing jobs and one in four auto jobs lost

about twenty five percent of our auto jobs even more than that throughout the campaign i promised to renegotiate nafta and today we have kept that promise but for twenty five years as a civilian as a businessman i used to say how could anybody have signed a deal like nafta and i watched new england and so many other places where i was just the factories were leaving the jobs were leaving people were being fired and we can't have that so we have negotiated this new agreement based on the principle of fairness and reciprocity to me it's the most important word in trade because we've been treated so unfairly by so many nations all over the world that we're changing that we just signed a much better deal with south korea we had a horrible horrible deal and we just signed at united nations and that's worked out well and they're happy we're happy it's good for jobs good for a lot of things when that deal was signed they said two hundred fifty thousand jobs

will be given be by signing this transaction and they were right i've said it before they were right two hundred fifty thousand jobs to south korea not to the united states so that's changed and very much for the better and this one is a brand new do the agreement will govern nearly one point two trillion in trade which makes it the biggest trade deal in the united states history. i want to congratulate u.s. trade representative bob light hisor who has worked nobody understands how hard. no matter when you called him he was in the office or he was in somebody else's office doing the same thing bob light eyes are is great i've heard it for years i said if i ever do this i want to get a light hisor to represent us because he felt the way i did and the entire team at

the u.s. t.r. standing behind me and some brave here in the audience i want to thank you thank you peter navarro everybody thank you thank you thank you thank tests a group of people they love our country i also want to thank secretary minucci and secretary ross secretary nielson secretary producer jared commissioner peter navarro and the united states ambassador to canada kelly craft thank you thank you kelly thank you. i also want to thank president pena nieto of mexico we had a few disagreements but i really like them a lot i think you may like me i'm not sure but i think he's a terrific person and he'll be leaving soon but he's really done a good job and wonderful wonderful person and the mexican president elect

lopez obrador who has given his support to this agreement. and we're developing a really good relationship which i think is very important for our country frankly and for mexico. and so they work together on this this was done by both i said look i don't want to sign an agreement and then a new president comes and they don't like it and we have difficulty they work very much together on it and i appreciate it from both i have to certainly. give my highest regards to prime minister of canada justin trudeau a lot of stories came out about justin and i having difficulty together do we did over the trade deal but i'll tell you it's turned out to be a very very good deal for both and a very very good deal for all three it puts us in a position that we've never been in before it's very good when you look at the world and what the world is doing and what when you look at the unfair trade

practices that countries are using against the united states this is a terrific deal for all of us once approved by congress this new deal will be the most modern up to date and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country with the most advanced protections for workers ever developed if you look at the reviews as people that would normally not under any circumstances say good things because automatically they have to say bad even some democrats say that's amazing we had some there they haven't been given the sound bites yet i guess mike but actually you had some democrats say this is really amazing if he really got all of that but by tomorrow i would suspect they'll change their tune but that's ok because people know how good it is it's an amazing deal for a lot of people likewise it will be the most advanced trade deal in the world with

ambitious provisions on the digital economy patents very important financial services and other areas where the united states has a strong competitive advantage mexico and canada have agreed to strong new labor protections environmental protections and new protections for intellectual property so important. this new deal is an especially great victory for our farmers our farmers have gone through a lot over the last fifteen years they've been taken advantage of by everybody prices have gone way down and we're working on some other deals that are going to make him very happy also but this is a very very big deal for our farmers mexico and canada will be opened up a lot more than they are now and i think they'll be a better spirit between the three countries which is important for farmers the agreement will give our farmers and ranchers far greater access to sell american

grown produce in mexico and in canada the deal includes a substantial increase in our farmers opportunities to export american wheat poultry eggs and dairy including milk butter cheese yogurt and ice cream to name a few i want to be very specific. i want to be very specific. right. thank you and many other products but those products were not really being treated fairly as far as those that work so hard to produce them and now they're going to be treated fairly these measures will support many hundreds of thousands of american jobs this is also a historic win for american manufacturers and american auto workers who have been treated so badly we've lost so many jobs over the years under nafta under the current new deal and if you look at the current nafta deal.

the new deal is taking care of all of these problems because nafta foreign companies have been allowed to manufacture many of their parts overseas shipped them to mexico and canada for assembly and send their foreign made cars into the united states with no tax so we let all our people go we fire everybody they make cars they make products they make everything in another country they send them into the united states no tax and the cost is very little different sometimes it's more for those people that like to talk about cost with this agreement we are closing all of these terrible loopholes that close the gun they were a disaster for example we are requiring a large portion of every car to be made by high wage workers which will greatly reduce foreign outsourcing which was a tremendous problem and means more auto parts and automobiles will be manufactured

inside the united states we will be manufacturing many more cars and our companies won't be leaving the united states firing their workers and building their cars elsewhere there's no longer that incentive before under the nafta deal they had that incentive they have the opposite incentive now we're not going to be losing our companies that was to me the most important thing. i don't want to see u.s. president donald trump there and now on seeing the new trade deal between the united states and canada and along with mexico will replace the current north american free trade agreement or a nafta agreement to be called united states mexico canada agreement u.s. and ca appropriate enough this is intended to last for sixteen years in ruby to be reviewed every six years president trump calling it a very very good deal for both the u.s.

and canada and for all three rosalyn jordan is live for us now in washington so rosalind this this was kind of needed as a a win for the trumpet ministration particularly after all of the domestic challenges that they're dealing with right now or not the least of which is the the ongoing spat over the cavern or nomination. well we'll see whether or not it actually pays off certainly the timing is a one factor this comes about five weeks before the midterm congressional elections and if the president is able to say to his supporters in those key swing states that helped put him into office back in two thousand and sixteen that he is taking steps to improve their economic well being and this would be for people who work in heavy manufacturing or people who work in agriculture he is betting perhaps that they will be more inclined to support republican candidates rather than democratic

candidates however there are a number of unions and a number of democrats who have supported this revision of this treaty because they have for a long time complained about these jobs being outsourced to other countries especially the manufacturing jobs but again this is something that the president is simply hoping for not just that it's going to be just for political reasons he was very very critical of u.s. trade policy while he was a candidate and he certainly has used tariffs in order to express his displeasure with other company other countries a comic practices most notably that of china and so this is an opportunity for the president to essentially not just protect the u.s. economy from what he called unfair trade practices across north america but it really does in some ways enhanced his ability he thinks to try to protect low

cost chinese made goods including agricultural products from coming into the united states so it's not just political this has been something that president donald trump has talked about since he was a candidate back in two thousand and fifteen all right roslyn jordan live for us there in washington where we now have daniel daniel lak who joins us live now from toronto in canada so. daniel what does this mean what does this deal mean then for canada particularly that there was the danger of them being left out of the whole thing. that certainly added a lot of impetus to the negotiations let's not forget mexico and the us reached their version of this deal in august and the canadians were told to get cracking or they'd be left out in the cold and a couple of us said deadlines came and went the canadians were a little cocky thinking they could keep pushing it but this one of september thirtieth sunday september thirtieth seemed to be the one that actually got the

deal done prime minister justin trudeau taking a hand in the negotiations over the weekend and president trump adding extra pressure at the u.n. general assembly and calling out canada for what he said were unfair trade practices canada signed a deal that's basically probably not as good to them as the nafta deal was but as every commentator here has been pointing out better a deal than no deal in this one canada has fought for some of the things that wants dispute resolution mechanisms exemptions for its cultural products like music and television programs and so on and that auto industry part two that's probably not going to be as harmful to canadian workers as it may be to mexican workers but it's all got to come out in the days and months to come it's a huge deal seven hundred pages or so of detail to go through and it's going to take more than a few hours after late night negotiations to know what it all means better better in the now for canada daniel agger live for us there in toronto thanks to you

now iran's 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 i have us several missiles struck the region of eastern syria last week twenty five people were killed when gunmen opened fire on a military parade same astronomy reports from to iran. in a pre-dawn attack six mid range iranian missiles cleared iraqi airspace to hit a target in eastern syria nearly six hundred kilometers away. seven unmanned drones then dropped bombs on the same target iran's revolutionary guard said it was retaliation against those responsible for last week's attack at a military parade. in western iraq gunmen killed at least twenty five people many of them members of the guard the response to the show of such military force it

suggested there was a clear target but iran's leaders remain vague about the exact identity of the attackers. if there was supposed to be a public message the i.r.g.c. would have said so in their statement but as it is anywhere in the world any measures taken by a military or politician carry some messages may be the obvious messages of iran's decisive will to conduct a permanent and serious fight against centers that produce train and equip terrorism at different levels what the i.r.g.c. forces did early this morning was this will in one statement attributed to iran's revolutionary guard the target is said to have been an i sold base which it says has u.s. backing. state t.v. showed a message painted on one of the missiles death to america israel and saudi arabia there is little doubt who leaders into iran really planned but whether there is some covert american action against iran or not the missile strike was as much about political theater as it was about a military response. that this

a curate. is our red line and we won't compromise on this issue we took tough revenge against american and arab backed terrorist groups they used bullets we responded with missiles and leaders into iran say it's only the beginning it could have gone differently iran. could have conducted a ground campaign in tandem with syrian allies but flying its own missiles through iraqi airspace to hit a target inside syria by itself is about sending a message to everyone with a military presence there think twice before threatening iran is in basra v.l. jazeera to her own. she has written an opinion piece on our website at zillow dot com talking about the iranian city of av as where the attack took place he describes it as a cosmopolitan city that cannot be defined by narrow minded ethno nationalism

so take a look at that if you have the time the international court has rejected bolivia's bid to force chill a to allow access to the sea but libya has been landlocked since it lost its coastline to chile in a war in the late one nine hundred century it's been fighting to regain access almost ever since water ice about is in one of cyrus and joins us live now so today so what what happens now after this ruling. well this ruling cannot be appealed to it's definite and obviously there's a lot of disappointment in bolivia who's traumatized over the loss of its coastline during the war in the nineteenth century with cheating we do know that there were celebrations expected in that fast that people had gathered in their main plaza to watch the ruling hoping that the hague's the ruling would be on their side well that did not happen and people where expressing their disappointment over what

happened on the other hand there were celebrations and the president said at the time that this ruling shows. that that ruling shows how their respect for international treaty what's important is also about the ruling is saying that both countries should try to continuing good terms and trying to negotiate an end to this ongoing conflict and but what's important also is that this is a big blow for precedent it will want alice oblivious first indigenous president who in that way has been promising that this time the ruling was going to be in what levy a favor that didn't happen and many accuse him of using this whole prole says for a controversial election campaign that it's expected to happen next year. the rest of the border sars thanks. now to cameroon and one of our most requested stories on the grid october first has symbolically been

declared independence day for the english speaking parts of the country the northwest and southwest english speaking region wants better representation in the government some are also calling for an independent state called amazonia and twenty sixteen english speaking teaches and lawyers went on strike declaring ghost towns and asking people to stay home in protest against the french majority government there were demanding english be recognised in schools and courts the protests then turned violent armed separatists and government forces continued to clash of control hundreds have died and thousands have been forcibly displaced from their homes the number of people affected is still unknown as many of the attacks go under reported. so leo we get thousands of messages on this every week from people in southern cameroon all skin us to to cover this story what what

reaction are you seeing today we're seeing a huge influx of reaction today because october first is amazonia self declared independence day we're seeing much more traction online the normal that says a lot because we normally see quite a bit the northwest and southwest cameroon declared independence last year in two thousand and seventeen but say that they will keep fighting until their independence is actually recognized by the cameroonian government october first is also the day that english phone cameroon declared independence from britain in one thousand nine hundred sixty one but they say they never got full independence now on sunday the government imposed a two day curfew on the english speaking region even still there are reports of people going out onto the streets and celebrating the embers only a independence day now that independence day protests calling for an end to the violence have also gone global.

earlier in london cameroonians proclaimer an ian protesters took to downing street calling for an end to what they called genocide we spoke to many of you online about why october first is so important to you asked us not to share their names and location. today we are committed to consolidated to repair our fallen heroes and heroines as you know under genocide continues. more than two hundred of our villages have been addressed into our. more than four thousand as we speak. they have also been. executed so today we call on them over to intervene and stop this genocide and chest. and his government out of i think the problems in the english speaking regions of coming on can best be resolved through a federation of the office for me to present

a day of mourning it is it did not they did there's nothing to celebrate on this day because of my. time many english speaking country and have lost their lives on this day and last year my first two thousand and seventeen was the highlight of it many people were killed and i think that is the moment. they did the bottom line was drawn that has drawn my precious concrete into serious conflict i'm happy independence day to also to come their audience so this is very important because. it's a day that we don't know. why i'm making this shall be easier to tell you. we just saw the gunman as we are very determined and we're going to fight. so i want to come on our own that we are going to continue to fight and we are going to withdraw our lives that we are going to get away with it long live i'm appealing for the you know. the president of cameron says

were. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life to the bench and fight against corruption and whatever it is that we need champions we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges that gap that existed in this. nominate your own for action hero shine the light on what they do and to have not shine a light on your hero with you for the international base of ward two thousand and eighteen for more information go to pisa war dot com.

well i find that what people are talking about in sport today as far as and thank you so much bron james era is under way for the l.a. lakers basketball superstar made his debut for his new team and the crowd loved every minute of it james spent fifteen minutes on court during a preseason game against the denver nuggets there were no trademark dunks but le bron did nail two three s. scoring nine points in total along with three assists allie did however go down one hundred twenty four to one hundred seven the thirty three year old is a three time and be champion and joints l.a.

after a four year second spell at cleveland all this what le bron had to say after the game. yet always was different for me when he's a change uniforms so different now when i change you know you know from when samus a merger to a cavs jersey the cavs are two he jersey back to the cavs jersey not being a laker so it definitely was different. you know in the second overtime to use it to start a new journey for myself and you know like the things that we have here in san diego is a great film to go out there and hear the war from the fans of yourself of very much appreciated. le bron not only captivated the crowd on sunday he took over social media with both hashtags braun and lakers trending on twitter this is what le bron posted to his forty two point six million instagram followers a picture of him in his lakers kit with the caption and even front it's just felt different goosebumps the post with liked over

a million times meanwhile laker fans are still in shock here's a tweet from one of them saying i still can't believe it watching the braun play in a lakers uniform it's really happening. but not everyone feels the same way as you know james played for his second stint last season with his home team cleve in which he left to go out west well here's a short video that was posted on twitter with a caption saying everybody includes lent after seeing le bron in a lakers jersey who watch this. one. well joining us now is for its illustrated n.b.a. editor mark about in new york market le bron is entering his sixteenth n.b.a. season he's thirty three years old how did he look on court yesterday he looked great you know obviously didn't play you don't play too many minutes it's a preseason game you don't want to read too much into it but you know he's never really shown any signs of aging it's like he's immune to it but he certainly

doesn't excuse them like you slow him down at all is the biggest challenge of his career you know turning things around for the lakers it's. i think it is as far as the talent he surrounded with when he first started in cleveland when he was a rookie first couple of years. i think that was a tougher assignment for him. you know just based on who was around him but the expectations weren't nearly as high as they are now. you know he's this lakers team is is old strange mix of sort of young unproven guys and a few veterans who. i don't want cast offs but who kind of had trouble catching on with other teams so you know based on what he's got with him yeah it's going to be tough but he's le bron anytime you have abroad you're going to be good and i think people realize that what he's dealing with. you know it's not like when he went to

the he was with dwayne wade and chris bosh and they had this ready made superstar trio in place so it's going to be tough for him but no one's ever got rich betting against him so i think what is going on along those lines you know le bron has had a little time in l.a. do you think he's made the right now. you know it's hard to say i think he's sort of got to the point where any move he makes is a good move he doesn't make rash decisions he doesn't take these things lightly and he's got enough he's done enough in his career that he really doesn't have anything left to prove so if he thinks it's something that's best for him best for his family then it's really hard to second guess that but do you think le bron is motivated to get more championship titles or is a more focused on projects off the court like hollywood for instance we know he has

been very busy would he think so. i don't think you'll be distracted at all he's when the season is going on. he's focused on one thing and you know ease in l.a. obviously there's a lot of other stuff going on and we've seen him we've seen him branch out as a businessman we've seen him act and all those things are obviously important to him but it's never been a distraction to him in the past has never affected his basketball one bit and i think i think he definitely sees this lakers. step with the lakers as a challenge you know the lakers are historically one of the great franchises in league history they've fallen on hard times since kobe bryant left and there's really been. sort of a superstardom void and i think he wants to come in to fill that and you know the one thing he's he's never done really is. come out to a team like this where he's surrounded by a lot of young players and sort of you know lift them to the next level so he's

definitely he's obviously got stuff going to he's motivated ok so i have to jump in there mark that's how thankful so much for joining us back to has them. by so much for that of do it for this news break remember you can get in touch with us on social media these are all the ways you can do it more news in two minutes from our colleagues in london for you. since its inception in one thousand nine hundred sixty one the kuwait fund has been supporting people's livelihoods in over one hundred countries by funding projects in a range of sectors. ranging from infrastructure to health and education.

planes directing anyway once you get there there are no cars available no food no water all those things i supply of things that we need to have bought from the only ones that was in this huge queue of traffic trying to get in a city that's a six hour drive away from poland where here in the nearest place that we could see all those in these miracles are trying to get fuel to drive to probably because that worried about relatives they want to take their own supplies in but this is just the starting point outspoken visions in that city well all day on sunday the military was digging big grades mass graves and many hundreds of people will be buried in dollars on monday indonesia's government meanwhile has early on monday said that this disaster is of such a scale that by now welcome for a night that is significant with a low lights a few weeks ago in the government said it was able to cope on a very different this time around they are welcoming foreign aid they want to get as much as quickly as possible so as well as all these people once they get fuel in

the calls driving. on a personal level to official foreign aid should be reaching that's a concern. after more than a year of intense that o.c.a. sions the u.s. and canada have finally reached a new deal along with mexico to replace the north american free trade agreement commonly known as the after the trump says it's the biggest trade deal in u.s. history. it's my great honor to announce that we have successfully completed negotiations on a brand new deal to terminate and replace nafta and the nafta trade agreements with an incredible new us mexico canada agreement called us m.c.a. it sort of just works and keep. the agreement will govern nearly one point two

trillion in trade which makes it the biggest trade deal in the united states history while with the new deal comes a new name as you just heard there from trump apparently it works perhaps it doesn't roll off the tongue quite so easily as an after the newly formed united states mexico canada agreement or as the president said u.s. and ca replaces the one nine hundred ninety four pact governing more than one point two trillion dollars worth of trade between the nations there are thirty four chapters but the key issues can be summed up in three number one barry canada has long been protective of its sixteen billion dollar dairy industry but it's finally agreed to give us farmers access to three point five percent of the market following their long standing complaints about high tariffs number two cars the deal has made it so that forty percent of car and truck parts have to be made in the three countries with workers paid

a wage of sixteen dollars an hour canada and mexico have also been given a quota of two point six million cars that they can export to the u.s. tariff free and number three would canada has kept the dispute settlement mack mechanism which allows it to challenge u.s. antidumping tariffs and save its lucrative softwood lumber exports but we have correspondents standing by in washington and toronto for the various reactions it's going to rosalyn jordan first she joins us live from washington d.c. at roslyn we heard a little bit from the president there i think he is actually still speaking out what has he been saying about this deal is this a victory for him. as far as dull trump is concerned barbara this is a very big deal this is something on which trump campaigned when he was running for president in two thousand and fifteen and twenty sixteen and it's very much an issue that helped him become president because he was appealing to people in the

midwestern part of the country places where they had heavy manufacturing including auto making for many decades as well as the still a very lucrative global agricultural industry across those states and so what he is promising is that there will be tens of thousands of new jobs for people living in especially in that part of the united states as well as more opportunity to sell their products overseas and not face as much competition as they had been facing under the terms of nafta which is the current trade agreement between the three countries of course this announcement comes just five weeks before the midterm congressional elections and certainly the president would hope that people will support republican candidates rather than support democratic candidates because of the agreements that have been reached now with canada and mexico but he did a while that the next big hurdle will be getting congressional approval there's

a sixty day notification process underway so there really can't be a vote on this trade deal before the end of november even though the president is saying he would like to have it ratified by then that's legally not possible and there are also occasions that perhaps the democrats might control one or both houses of congress come january first and so there is a real sense of urgency to try to make it so that this deal can actually somehow be ratified in december before republicans could lose control of the congress doesn't join in with the latest there from washington. and this rolls thank you let's go to toronto now and speak to. me a we still haven't heard from justin trudeau officially don't think i think we are due to hopefully in the next half hour or so and it's no secret that the u.s. president in the canadian prime minister haven't seen eye to eye on many many issues when it comes to the steel kind of reaction have we seen from canada well

justin trudeau has at least released a statement saying he's spoken to donald trump today and the two are in agreement that this is a good deal and that it's good for jobs prosperity and all of that but no words and no kind of questions being answered yet by the canadian prime minister frankly he pretty much had to make a deal canada depends on the u.s. as a destination for seventy five percent of its exports of goods and services this country's very prosperity needs access to the u.s. market and so some sort of a deal had to be put in place to replace nafta it's been plain since donald trump won the republican nomination that he was going to target nafta so what we have now the u.s. mexico canada agreement is being described by analysts here more as a managed trade agreement rather than a free trade agreement lots of restrictions many of them favoring the u.s. but as you did mention canada has its dispute resolution mechanism which means that if there are disputes with the united states some independent arbiters could decide

on them and they're going to have to manage everything that comes up case by case justin trudeau i think will put a brave face on it when he's talking he had to have a deal but right now this is probably not the deal that he would have envisioned when he first got elected a couple of years ago and promised to renegotiate a lot of canada's trade agreements and the lack of the lace there from toronto that you know thank you. palestinians in hand are have five hours to destroy their own village before israeli forces move in israel gave residents in the bed when village until midnight on monday to pack up and leave once to demolish the village in the occupied west bank to make way for more settlements and move which has sparked international condemnation imran khan has more now from our in the occupied west bank 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
