gangs battling for territory as well as sanchez reports from rio de janeiro. thank you know the military operation in the streets of rio this is what poor brazilians in hundreds of slums or fatherless are going through daily or day out. to see another genuses they're living in fear gives them i need to track of there any shootouts before i leave my home sometimes i am not able to go to work and the kids can't go to school it's not safe. i received in the shelter thousands of soldiers and military police to break up organized crimes control of the favelas since the military intervention started in february more than eight hundred people have been killed in confrontations with security forces the military has been doing operations in favelas like this one for six months but human rights organizations say there have been changes but for the worse because the number of shootings have

increased by at least forty percent in danger and civilians. even brazilians who live in protected compounds are afraid evie and ellen burgess are ready to move to portugal with their fifteen month old daughter a morning just interview going to mean a fish i have seen robberies shootings thank you situations that i don't need to go through we live in a garden area but i don't want to live in this golden cage the justice ministry says twenty one thousand perseverence left the country last year because of the violence. seventeen of brazil's major cities are among the most dangerous in the world experts say the government is staking the wrong approach. that our grizzle chooses to combat the drug trade with general repression and not by investigating the criminal organise. visions to track the money and the weapons. the violence has been growing since the economic crisis hit the country four years ago as a result sixty six percent of brazilians favor security operations but some say

civilians in the slums are getting the wrong message see to warrant thank you to get if you position a tank in front of the favela and send thousands of soldiers you are saying you are the enemy whether they are supporter not we think this is illegal it is wrong and immoral. critics say military operations have always been unsuccessful but until a new president takes office in january they will continue and poor brazilians will have to live in the crossfire unable to leave us and just i just. for decades it's been an open secret in mexico the massacre of student protesters in a public square in the capital mexico city authorities trying to cover up the true scale of the tragedy but on the fiftieth anniversary mexican government has finally accepted it was this state crime gentleman reports from mexico city. it

was a night that traumatized mexico exactly fifty years ago mainly student protesters gathered in tattoo local square to challenge a north or a tarion regime then the unthinkable the army trapped them and snipers mowed them down it's marked the country ever since felix hernandez was there. but the. young where of course there were clothes and shoes drawn about bodies lying there we didn't know if they were dead or wounded shortly after army trucks came to take them away and clean up with high pressure hoses. now when the half century anniversary of the massacre the government has admitted for the first time the what happened. was a state crime. but the this document explicitly recognizes the victims were attacked slandered some killed i was disappeared detained and tortured. it's a big admission successive administrations have hidden the truth about the local

despite over time the massacre has see it itself into the country's conscience just to put it into perspective it's not a little co is about as important in mexico as tiananmen square in china it marked the point when the all powerful pre-partition which room its code for much of the twentieth century was defied as never before and then the party's reaction to that defiance it also mark the point in which many mexicans with before had seen the party as a benevolent dictatorship instead started to view it as a violent tyranny that this event explodes the protest movement so the seeds for mexico's eventual transition to democracy it gives some sense to his personal sacrifice for me that they knew a key in the set of peaceful i was arrested in the building next to the square and spent almost three years in jail here many friends of mine died while there is welded and others disappeared it's

a very painful story. the country has new problems now record levels of violence tens of thousands of disappeared some of the old ones also remain impunity and corruption in. the league xampp of the students of cloth a little coke continues to inspire those demanding change to them us we owe them for joining together for their bravery in confronting the government and demanding answers in it so it's a hard one legacy continues to resonate fifty years old john homan. may screw city. experts from one hundred fifty countries are meeting in malaysia to discuss the latest scientific breakthroughs on cancer the world health organization says cancer is the world's second biggest killer every six deaths in the world is from cancer related diseases and it says a third of cancer deaths are a result of bad behavior like smoking or drinking too much and eating badly up to

half of cancers could be avoided with a more healthy lifestyle sound chair and is president of the union for international cancer control she says why the political will is needed to address the problem. 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 bell breast and cervical cancers and inherently the infrastructure to provide surgery right therapy and came with therapy manes that most people are diagnosed late and therefore don so we see the biggest. difference in something like childhood cancer where in 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 we say some political will around things

like tobacco control and that's a really important strategy but cancer treatments acing as being too expensive and part of their treatment for campaign is to show that this economic benefits in preventing premature mortality for the social systems it's one cancer and other. things that tip 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 civil society and the private sector together to create solutions at a city level that really can make these treatments available at an affordable cost . this year's nobel prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists including a woman for the first time in fifty five years american arthur ashe french general morrow donna strickland of calendar have been announced as the winners in stockholm

news continues after inside story stay with us around zero. salvaged at the last minute a new trade deal for canada up with the united states and mexico and replaces the contentious north american free trade agreement but is it a win win situation and have serious compromises been made this is inside story.

hello welcome to the program i'm adrian finnegan it was billed as the world's largest free trade area affecting five hundred million people when the north american free trade agreement on nafta was signed in one thousand nine hundred four barriers were removed and trade boomed but critics argued that it decimated several manufacturing hubs in the u.s. with companies taking advantage of low wages in mexico to shift operations south u.s. president donald trump promised to rewrite nafta or get rid of it completely high pressure negotiations followed an unpopular outgoing government in mexico struck a deal in august long time ally canada was left out and relations deteriorated between trump and canada's prime minister justin trudeau but the countries need each other economically and both appear to have found things they like in the new agreement to be called the united states mexico canada agreement or u.s. m.c.a. well the u.s. and canada in a joint statement said that us m.c.a.

will give our workers farmers ranchers and businesses a high standard trade agreement that will result in freedom. it's fair a trade and robust economic growth in our region it will strengthen the middle class and create good well paying jobs and new opportunities for the nearly half a billion people who call north america home so what was agreed upon well canada is giving us farmers greater access to its dairy market but it gets to retain the trade dispute settlement mechanism established by nafta washington that earlier demanded that american court should rule on cases filed by canada against u.s. duties on imports both canada and mexico one protections against president trumps threat to impose twenty five percent tariffs on cars but under the deal forty to forty five percent of any car completed in mexico needs to be built in countries where workers are at least sixteen dollars an hour only then will the car qualify for duty free benefits let's bring in our guests for today's discussion from

washington we're joined by chris can see he is c.e.o. of vic a financial he was early a deputy director at the u.s. department of commerce on the president trump and from also a cullen robertson a former canadian diplomat who was part of the team that goes he added nafta back in the one nine hundred ninety s. gentlemen welcome to you both chris let's start with you is this a good deal for all concerned or just for the u.s. . you know it's a great deal for everyone frankly i think this is why all three parties have now reached this agreement today october first the us mexico canada agreement has tackled several issues that again twenty five years ago perhaps could not have predicted intellectual property rights have increased worker protections environmental standards have increased frankly the u.s. has more access now to the canadian dear dairy markets as you've mentioned and we're having more auto parts and auto beals frankly made in the united states mexico and canada and this is truly a tradition i would say a complete reorientation of the supply chain away from southeast asia back to north

america i think all three nations can be proud of that ok conan a deal between the two of the sides the canada a and the u.s. side appeared to be slipping out of reach as least recently as well last week when donald trump made those those disparaging comments about canada is to go see it is that that press conference what's changed. well i think as you point out don't jump at the united nations last week if it one of us would call it trump or options but in a way it's straight out of the playbook of art of the deal if you read his book he puts maximum pressure there's bullying there's bravado there's bluster before a deal is reached and i think the cain ago shaders and the canadian prime minister mr trudeau in our no shader who need it also slammed christopher even our foreign minister and just park that and said ok this is just this we are now more used to this after a year and a half of the trump administration what was important for us was to retain that

access to the united states because we over the past year that our governor bank and our major companies have all said there's been a chilling up investment in canada yes we now have access to the european market through the new comprehensive european trade agreement and we are course with mexico part of the trans-pacific partnership that mr trump pulled out of and what's interesting adrian is that this agreement that we've just signed with united states and mexico most closely resembles the transpacific partnership both in language and informant as chris points out is an updating of it my own sense it is. with the trade offs a win win win for all three nations chris under this tail us fall is going to get access to three and a half percent of canada's sixteen billion dollars dairy market now to me three percent doesn't sound a lot why is that being touted as a success. i think it's greater than the three percent that was sent to in the

transpacific partnership i'm not sure if that's the actual number that is coming out of the announcement that's being made today but i know that that is significantly more than we have now i think canada is quite protective as collins pointed out of its of its dairy markets they want to ensure that of course the canadian farmers do not go bankrupt united states has similar protections in place for our farmers here we want to take care of our own we want to take care of our heartland if you will but i think that moving toward even if it's a few percentage points at a time toward a more free open and reciprocal trading arrangement in areas like dairy and access to canadian very markets i think that's an ultimately a step forward rather than a step backward but again in exchange for that you know we're also getting our actions say in addition to that we're also getting access to more parts production more automobile production in united states i think that is a major major victory for both the us and canada that the sixteen dollars per hour

requirement on the thirty percent of vehicle part production must be done of course with labor of above sixteen dollars per hour that is about three times the price of the average mexican labor wage per hour i think that's a major victory for the us and canada so again ultimately i think what we're looking at is a win for both u.s. workers american workers i think the american the mexican economy as well this is where we really see president trump's leadership in. action two completely distinct different leaders in mexico and canada and yet president trump was able to bring them together with his negotiators who were empowered to get this deal done conan you talked about president trump and his bluster and the fact that the canadian leadership despite the fact that they they appeared not to be getting on very well president trump and justin trudeau but the canadian leadership is sort of become used to this this this bluster and bravado don't trump likes to. to talk himself up as being that the deal maker one could imagine that he was he's

a pretty tough negotiator all that his team would be under his direction. did canada have to make any big concessions here or was this deal in france easier to reach than than than they thought it would be. no it was this is been tough and. indeed. even last week our ambassador united states gave it a kind of five out of ten and he's our kind of quarterback in the field along with our foreign minister so you know this was this was hard fought so we been at it in a tense fashion now for a little over a year remember we had been through this with the united states negotiators many of them the same people at the working level in the transit partnership and as i point out the agreement itself most closely resembles the trans-pacific partnership with adjustments relating to the interests of canada mexico and the united states.

i think that it was for mccain perspective kind of the optimum time because there had been there was pressure within the united states from the business community the farm community to put to include canada in this and with the clock ticking under the legislative mandate of congress to the administration they had to submit something today to congress and the preference was to do it canada us mexico because and let's be clear on this we're stronger and i think chris would agree that the big challenge now is going to be the implementation legislation in the congress and that's going to happen sometime next year because in the meantime will be an assessment economic assessment of this agreement by the international trade commission and then the new congress this be post the midterms will be the congress responsible for implementing the new agreement and that's not a slam dunk chris is it that a done deal ok so so we've we've come to an agreement but it still has to be ratified by congress could anything upset this bill's passage i'm thinking about

the midterms in the. sure of course well the united states of course has the major midterms in november twenty eighth seen we're looking at likely to have a at least the odds are showing that there may be a flip in the house democrats may retake the house that's the historical precedent at least every president lose the house in the midterm elections i think it's only been two presidents who've lost who've kept the house in the midterm elections since i think two thousand the year two thousand and so i think frankly looking at this that the senate as well senate looks increasingly as though the republicans will keep will keep the senate but you have many congressmen in both the house and senate senators in the senate that have districts that rely and would benefit tremendously by the influx of jobs by the increase in wages for many of these manufacturing jobs that would require as i mentioned earlier the sixteen dollars per hour labor on many of the components in a significant percentage of the auto parts that are made so it would be in their

favor whether you're republican whether you're democrat to vote in favor of this and so i think that you know it looks very likely looks increasingly so that with trade promotion authority the president trump has that they would that the congress doesn't fact vote favorably in in for this deal calling to close one of the things that helped to sour relations between canada and the united states was earlier this year president trump slapped a bunch of tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum imports does this trade deal this this new north america free trade agreement under under a different name does that deal with that issue or those tariffs stay in place. you know the way i read the agreement remember it's a thousand pages and i'm still digesting it and there are some side letters my understanding is those terrorists remain on place both canada and mexico although there is pressure in the united states from steel users because canada's the biggest supplier of foreign buyers steel and particularly of aluminum which is used

particularly in the in the defense industry so our prime minister has said american airplanes and tanks use are minimal and so what they're the americans are still buying if they're of course paying now the tariff at the the border similar situation with our softwood lumber we're selling as much softwood lumber as before but the american the average american is now paying a twenty five percent surcharge and that of course raises the the cost of housing united states so that one isn't done let's be clear adrian we're not out of the trumpet ministration is protectionist and we're likely to see more protectionism by this administration agreement gives us a belt and suspenders but we're not. we're not free friends but there will be continue to develop a station is not protectionist that all gone chrystia most resources are great for inspiration here let's not protectionists what we are we are a free trade administration and frankly this is why and this is something you would i think you would agree with on.
