a checkpoint to the community we wanted to visit the sign says hold a car stop a check for about an hour away from the train station the exit from the freeway this is described as the medical supply capital of china so we wanted to go in because the face masks are manufactured there more than 50 percent for china are manufactured inside and we've heard that they have brought the staff back from their holiday early to manufacture more facemask but it's so sensitive they're stopping us here not even letting us go inside. we were not the only ones being turned away other cars were prevented from going in if they could not prove that they were from chung young. and then we were told by the official that if we did not leave one province before the end of the day it was highly likely that we would be put in quarantine as the end of the extended holiday draws closer many people in these communities could be cut off even longer if additional transportation restrictions are put into place it's got harder al-jazeera. in other news u.s.

president donald trump has signed into a no i new trade deal with mexico and canada pacey 25 year old north america tree trade agreement with the u.s. and mexico have ratified the new deal but canada has just begun the process of debating it in part and let's bring in kimberly hawk at the white house committee so the deal signed interesting timing for president trump. very interesting because it's a big deal it's a legislative achievement for this president and it's bipartisan but if you americans are paying attention to this and many are even asking the question of whether or not this was a diversionary tactic because of course it comes on the heels of the president announcing his mid east peace process plan in just the day 24 hours before whether or not this is an attempt to distract from the headlines on capitol hill the impeachment trial where many members of congress democrats are arguing that he should the president should be removed from office so some real questions about the

timing of why this deal being signed specifically today but it is a big achievement donald trump planning to making a big deal of it saying this is a campaign promise that i've kept but again most of the focus right now on the bolton bombshell the fact that donald trump's former national security adviser the question about whether or not he may testify in that senate trial given his book and leaks from it upcoming books say that in fact the president did abuse his presidential powers for political purposes so what is actually in the deal then kimberly and how different is it from enough to the north america free trade agreement. it's a big deal in terms of the fact that it now mandates that auto cars for example that they now have to have 75 percent of their parts made in either canada the united states or mexico and that is up from 62 percent the reason that the big deal is that nafta allow for outsourcing of jobs to places like china for example where the cost of labor was much lower this decimated the manufacturing industry in the

united states millions of jobs lost as a result this was a big reason why donald trump got elected in order to renegotiate this trade deal so that's a success for him an achievement in that regard but it also has environmental protections strengthens labor laws democrats did collaborate on some of that on capitol hill so both sides are saying that this is a real victory for the american worker but again the question is whether any american workers are paying attention indeed thank you very much for that committee how good life for us at the white house palestinian leaders have rejected the u.s. president's plan for peace says one that will be thrown into history's gone donald trump proposal to end the palestinian israeli conflict sides with israel on many contentious issues protests have broken out in the occupied west bank they have been small with many palestinians saying they weren't surprised by the plan israel's prime minister meanwhile is on his way to moscow to brief the russian

president benjamin netanyahu wants an extraordinary and all israeli settlements on occupied land as soon as possible and those settlements are considered illegal under international law despite that reaction across the arab world has been muted both egypt and saudi arabia say the support for the negotiations under u.s. auspices supposal offers only a part of occupied east jerusalem as the capital of any future palestinian state. explains how that might look. one of the main points made by u.s. president donald trump when he announced his peace plan was the potential for the creation of the capital of a palestinian state in the future that would be located in eastern jerusalem that brings up a whole raft of complicated issues now we are right now in occupied east jerusalem if you take a look over here to my left that is all occupied east jerusalem if you take a look over here to my right that is the separation wall and just beyond it just over the wall is a town known as. now what's interesting about this town is that in the past few

hours it has emerged in israeli media outlets that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has now suggested that would these be the capital of a future palestinian state now that is a proposal that has actually been made in years past and it is a proposal that has been rejected numerous times by palestinian leadership they have not yet commented on the on the reports that he is suggesting that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu is suggesting it now but it's not expected that they would find that agreeable all this coming at a time when already palestinian leadership has outright rejected the peace plan by u.s. president donald trump. and stephanie decker. people say the deal will strip their rights. despite the cold for a general strike it is business as usual on the streets of gaza schools are open shops are open and people are telling us that they really didn't expect anything different from fulfilling the snub our rights are being sold in the international

marketplace this deal is part of the global oppression of the palestinian people we don't have confidence in any of the politicians anymore both palestinian and foreign our dream is to get our basic rights and to live in dignity like any other country. i believe this deal of the century is proposing less than what we have now and i think president mahmoud abbas will not accept it. politically the message from hamas is one of our white rejection and this is something that we're seeing a rare unity from all the palestinian factions whether it's hamas on the scene islamic jihad jihad all the the messages that they outright reject. is is. it just against the palestinian people again there's a lot of people. what people say is more important to them is the lifting of the blockade or easing of their lives here in the gaza strip which has been under

blockade by israel and egypt for over 10 years since hamas took power and here is the certainly this deal gives the no indication of that it's something that they didn't expect would change they say they have no power to influence the politics and also this is i think why you see people almost an interested in this they didn't expect anything else and certainly will tell you that the life here at the moment is more difficult than it's ever been the united nations in 22 all issued a report saying that gaza would become unlivable by $22.00 while it is now 2020 and there is no political solution in sight. still ahead on al jazeera activists accuse media outlets in indiana of being biased in their country of a controversial citizenship.
