to be some costs there i think what this agreement is really doing is redistributing some of the benefits and some of the costs of trade within north america and i should add one final point as well and that is that in the agreement the three parties agreed not to enter into trade agreements with non market economies what that means is that all three have agreed not to do a separate trade agreement with china that's kind of an interesting point one we really haven't seen before and so in the context of winners and losers i think that's going to cut both ways as well all right exxon's weather was good to talk to you thank you very much indeed for your time well the international monetary fund is warning that escalating trade disputes are affecting global growth it's now let me be clear we are not seeing the financial contagion so far but we also know that conditions can change property. if the current trade disputes were to escalate further they could deliver

a shock to a broader range of emerging and developing economies so my key message today is that we need to manage the risks step up reforms and modernize the mil to that whole system or to put it in shipping terms we need to steer the boat and not drift. lots more so to come here on the news hour including palestinians in the west bank village of hanukkah mob brace for the demolition of their homes and voters in cash strapped brazil prepared to go to the polls to fight against political corruption plus. the verbal sparring has begun in the head of one of the year's biggest boxing matches and we'll have the details in sports a little bit later. spanish police and demonstrators the fourteen boss aloneness catalonia marks
11:03 am
a year since the referendum on independence there was a standoff on the streets of the city which is the capital of the semi autonomous region catalans voted for succession but spain's central government said the poll was illegal and reports. right police confronted hundreds of problem dependents protestors at the main door of the catalan parliament in barcelona late into the night. these demonstrations fall to march the police say a truck of more than hundred eighty thousand people earlier in the day tens of thousands marked the first anniversary of the failed bid for secession from spain bringing parts of their wealthy northeastern region home to seven and a half million people to a standstill and i knew it would today. it has already been a year from october first we voted regardless of all the obstacles posed by a fascist oppressive government that did nothing but assault innocent people who went only with a ballot in hand today we go out to claim that we defeated the spanish state by

being able to hold and when a referendum spain's constitutional court declared last year's referendum illegal on the day of the referendum spanish white police stormed polling stations across the region and clamp down on protesters hundreds of people were injured the violent crackdown brought international condemnation the cattle and. officially declared independence on october twenty seventh but it was not internationally recognized the spanish government dissolved catalonia as parliament and imposed direct rule. a year on pro independence catalans want their declaration of independence to be recognised there also demanding the release of jailed government ministers and civic organization leaders who are at the helm of the failed session drive but. it was important to do something today because throughout this year it was not made much progress that catalan government hasn't done much we determined to make the
11:05 am
catalan republic or to make an illegal referendum madrid's direct rule of catalonia ended in june when petro sanchez replaced prime minister marianna wholly in a vote of no confidence sanchez is against independence but is approaches softer than that of his predecessor his government agreed to move jailed cattle and politicians out of prisons in madrid to ones in catalonia behaviorally feeling that we have an election at petrus and change is actually good news because he has a softer approach is open to dialogue but it's not clear if he has specific political objectives or he can resolve the situation because he just doesn't have a parliamentary majority. the promise of talks between the spanish and catalan leaders has yet to come to fruition so for these demonstrators the fight for independence remains in the hands of the people. al-jazeera. the white house has ordered the f.b.i. to expand its investigation into sexual assault allegations against u.s.
11:06 am
supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh president donald trump had been accused of trying to restrict the inquiry on friday the senate judiciary committee now any votes to advance common as confirmation to the next stage trump says the f.b.i. should talk to whoever they need to providing it finishes by this friday. i think the f.b.i. should it give you anybody that they want within reason but you have to say within reason they should interview but they should also be guided and i'm being guided by what the senators are looking for shepparton she has more from washington d.c. the question being asked by many now is whether the f.b.i. will expand its investigation from simply the allegations of assault and sexual impropriety leveled against kavanaugh to the testimony cavanaugh gave out the so it traditionally committee last week because several people are now coming forward saying they don't think he told the truth about his drinking or about whether he knew about the allegations
11:07 am
a second woman made against cavanagh before they were published in the new yorker magazine mitch mcconnell the senate republican majority leader over however is resolute he says there will be overt this week no matter what which doesn't give the f.b.i. very long for their investigation or for those members of the senate who have questions to absorb any new information but protesters are urging a key republican senators a vote against but cabin his nomination they gathered outside boston city hall where jeff flake was speaking on friday and senator flake agreed to send tom in his nomination to the next stage but demanded the f.b.i. investigation into sexual assault allegations. the deadline has passed for palestinians in the village to destroy their homes before israeli forces move in bedouins in the harlem are ordered to pack up and leave by midnight on on monday israel wants to demolish the village in the occupied west bank to make way for more illegal jewish settlements imus international says it's a war crime to forcibly remove them now a force that has more now from the han and

a mile. well he has seen many deadlines come and go in the past it has managed to cling on to his existence by various legal challenges in the past but those legal options have now all been exhausted and this latest deadline by which the israeli army had given the residents of this village until the end of october the first to demolish their own structures has now passed so it does now appear to be just a matter of time until israeli forces come in that is certainly the message that we're getting from villages here themselves we spoke to one family and the the grandfather of that family saying that this time it did seem different the grandmother saying it was incredibly difficult having to put her grandchildren to bed and having them come to her asking her is tomorrow going to be the day that the israeli forces come and from now on any morning could be that morning when they do come in and start to take this village apart why it is so important both to the
11:09 am
israeli side and the palestinian side is largely about territory this doesn't lie within the settlement plans known as each one plans that area for extended illegal settlement building that that is still in the works but it does live very close to those borders and there are other bedouin villages other bedouin communities in this area as well and so this is seen as potentially the first of a domino effect if it does go allowing israel more easily to extend the settlements around the eastern part of jerusalem at which would bring jerusalem even more with illegal settlements and also potentially cut the northern part of the west bank off from the southern parts of palestinian say that this is very important because it could really define what happens to the potential of a future palestinian state now though it does seem just a matter of time until israeli forces move in. the health ministry in gaza says israeli gunfire has wounded thirty seven palestinians at

referendum it was sixty and i think if the british public aware of the implications of what we are doing i think they they they may consider. throughout all this the government continues to say it is confidence of its plan it's. there it's now been rejected by cope with as of its own party the european union and the vast majority of voters surely cannot last off as conference and on wednesday it will be exactly two weeks until the european union needs to decide if it has any kind of offer from the british that it can go. with it isn't even clear it'll be a government in this country then that's alone a coherent plan when the referendum happens believe slogan was about taking back control you couldn't possibly make it up these people are tasked with determining the future of the u.k. the rights of millions of british and european citizens britons place in the world

11:28 am
a line won't do there and so we're calling on civil society members to really join a campaign to show to governments why treatment is also needed and the figures are quite extraordinary out there i mean something like eighty two percent of premature deaths due to noncommunicable diseases happen in developing countries and why they disproportionately shouldering the burden. so what we're saying is as countries rise up the development index cancer becomes one of those diseases that is more prevalent and the absence of early detection systems so particularly screening for breast and cervical cancers and inherently the infrastructure to provide surgery writing a therapy and kamath therapy manes that most people are diagnosed late and therefore die so we say the biggest. difference in something like childhood cancer where in
11:29 am
a developed country the survival is between eighty and ninety percent and in the least developed parts of the world survival is less than twenty percent and those those differences are just not acceptable and how much political will is there when governments and public health bodies to tackle the big diseases like cancer diabetes lung and heart disease i mean these diseases are responsible to something like seven out of ten deaths around the world here so we say some political will around things like tobacco control and that's a really important strategy but cancer treatments the saying as being too expensive and part of their treatment for campaign is to show that the economic benefits in preventing premature mortality for the social systems it's one cancer another in cities and things that tipped people into poverty and they listen able to be productive citizens and in addition to that we also have a city cancer challenge that's running that shows how you can bring governments
