infrastructure has slowed their efforts. to. the seven point five magnitude quake left many survivors desperate. so lovely said dad you are that we went to the beach because my daughter in law has the goods told there we looked for her but couldn't find her by your lot you know so you know might is only our house was still there we could go home unfortunately it was completely destroyed there was nothing to salvage from the ruins. most confirmed deaths so far from the city of palu a provincial capital on the sulawesi island. but reports main sponsors from outlying areas such as dongarra a region close to the earthquake's epicenter and home to some three hundred thousand people. people. we were expecting a rise in the number of dead even though we would hope the figures remain the same . considering the conditions out there that are bodies on

identified as well as victims buried beneath the ruins but there are also remote areas yet to be reached. now authorities are facing questions over whether disaster warnings were sufficient. intonations disaster mitigation spokesman tweeted this video saying it shows how people were at the beach as the tsunami waves rolled in with no sirens going off. officials are being criticized for allegedly lifting its tsunami warning too soon possibly leading to a greater loss of life along the coast. and let's get more now on the stairs aster we are joined by journalist max wald and he has the very latest from jakarta and max i'd just like to pick up on something that we heard a little bit about in that piece the fact that there is criticism over this apparent failure to warn people about the tsunami we saw people there on the

beaches sensually as it heads what went wrong. unfortunately. that was. i think in terms of the. criticism as you mentioned because. pop in our off through. the tsunami struck. that. you know adequate to detect this. fact. of the sirens of course the. electricity was out. definitely.

have. questions to answer and now authorities are calling for international aid. into these affected areas. yes the. president. up until now it's just been the military. on the ground. very very deep in. the. military. including. the. head of the humanitarian response unit at the red cross.

to them and. to. more effectively and max the survivors themselves what challenges facing now. well again. reports of. water and medical supplies are inadequate as well. and i think to an extent. there are power to prevent this from happening again. and you know psychological distress is really setting in and also look at the disease. reports of. concern of course the victims of the tsunami the bodies which case there is a very high risk of diseases like cholera and whatnot so.

from the your. point seven million euros. hopefully this will continue to help the rescue efforts. but the latest from jakarta thank you. for now it's going to check of some other stories making news around the world dozens of people have been her. lashes the japanese mainland high winds and heavy rainfall are battering. from the recent series of extreme storms this latest typhoon has left hundreds of thousands of homes without power. iran's revolutionary guard says that it has launched missiles targeting the militants behind the attack on a military parade in office nine days ago state run television said that the attack had killed and wounded militants in eastern syria there was no word from syrian state media on the strike. those are course not spreading.

in spain hundreds of people have demonstrated outside of a prison where cattle and separatist leaders are being held they were imprisoned after organizing an illegal independence referendum in catalonia last year separatists have called for street protests to mark today's one year anniversary of that vote. of the united states and canada have agreed to a deal to replace the north american free trade agreement that's according to a u.s. administration official who said that it will go by the new name the united states mexico canada agreement canada had risk being frozen out of a deal reached in august between the u.s. and mexico to update nafta but eleven that were talks between ottawa and washington guaranteed that all three members would be in the new version of the trade pact is a predator is it a good deal but is it a good deal for quite a good day for canada welcome sir. justin trudeau was in good spirits after

a cabinet meeting in ottawa once the final stumbling blocks had been removed. there will be no tariffs on the two point six million cars that are made in canada and sold in the u.s. but there was still no announcement of a deal on canadian steel and aluminum exports canada says it's a good deal because the country can also go to an independent arbiter when it has a trade dispute with the u.s. and it does not have to subject itself to u.s. courts that part of the old nafta treaty survived the name however will not the acronym nafta is dead as u.s. president donald trump repeatedly called it the worst deal maybe ever signed the new name is the united states mexico canada agreement the government in washington says it has been able to negotiate a much better deal for american factory workers and farmers as canada gave in to u.s. demands to open up its highly protected dairy market further details of the deal will be made public later today but it's clear that the last minute agreement

secures the just in time production in many industries as the three economies are highly into one. let's drill down now into some of those details we're joined by business reporter aaron tells him aaron trump helling this success is that well from his perspective i definitely think it is a success i mean i don't really think it's important what exactly they agree to the very fact that there was a deal made is good for trump it's something that he can sell to his voters back home you know when you're looking at trump it's often hard to find kind of a cogent policy that carries him through his entire political career what it's been in the last several years if there is one however it's his skepticism when it regards to international deals multilateral deals working with in the world establish order as we see it special it comes to free trade he always likes to portray himself as a deal maker somebody who will get rid of those a multilateral agreements and say mano a mano country to country we will make a deal now he already got that when he came to mexico and now he again has a new deal like that a direct deal kind of direct diplomacy style deal with canada so for him in his

perspective that alone is a win how is this different from nafta though because i mean there are still three signatories to this deal well that kind of remains to be seen there have been some measures that have already kind of leaked out but we haven't seen the full. of the deal so we don't really know we know that american farmers will get access to canadian dairy markets there was a new extended cap on how many cars canada can export to the united states so there's a bit a horse trade in both sides but it seems that well it's very very similar to the initial deal that was in place but like i said it doesn't the specifics don't really matter that much at the end of the day for trump what's big is that he got a new trade deal and a direct trade deal ok it's all about the headline in the air intelligent business thank you so much. in macedonia a referendum on a plan to rename the country north macedonia has been marked by low turnout the prime minister had hoped that the result would help secure parliamentary support

for changing the name and a decades long dispute with neighboring greece although most voters gave the plan their backing the macedonian opposition says that the low turnout shows the non-binding referendum lacked legitimacy. it may no says being the exact result he took for job with the help of his supports is a prime minister's zoran ziad made it look like a victory. you know the. we had a majority of more than ninety percent who voted in support of the name change and who engaged in that decision. not only have i no intention of resigning but i will continue until macedonia is a member of nato and the e.u. . my. campaign is against the referendum to rename the country to north macedonia have been celebrating their own victory. the recurring doom

failed. this illegitimate government. everything so i think they should just quit go out of the parliament there should be elections. with only around thirty six percent of the electorate voting low turnout month the results of boycotts against the referendum appears to have been a success many what i'm grit the name change deal reached between the government and greece which has a province also called macedonia back in june the two countries agree that if macedonia changed its name greece would drop its objections to the form a yugoslav state joining nato and the e.u. . but many greeks oppose anyone else using the name macedonia on sunday nights they too were celebrating what they see as

a referendum fadia. the if in spite of the opposition the macedonian government is pressing ahead with its plans but it still needs to win over a parliament and that's where the real fight begins. when now the syrian musician alaina chamonix on has been forced or rather was forced to flee her native country back in two thousand and twelve she's now based in paris and brings a taste of syria to the concert halls of europe playing to sold out crowds of her compatriots and others on saturday night cheaper. her show to berlin for the first time. every artist has their own pre-concert ritual. prefers the company of friends and fans there's time there's always time for a few selfies she's excited to perform in berlin which in some ways reminds her of the home she left behind in damascus. from many

countries are here not just syrians lebanese or palestinians here i can meet people i otherwise would have found difficult to get to know as well. you know first a local radio station a soulful teaser ahead of the night's gig she's keen to reach an audience with her music her style fuses are main music elements of jazz. her songs often deal in love pain and exile but she shies away from politics there are ten year concerts try to conjure a different image of her war scarred homeland. people mostly talk about syrians as

refugees but of course of people who had to make a fresh start but see my concerts experience us as we really are as if we were in our homeland as if the war had not torn us apart as if the problems had never been there. even so as she takes the stage it is hard to fight the harsh reality her set includes songs about alienation and fear for the refugees in the room it must have felt like their story. was. from to patriotism to your sternum to joy it is this mix of emotions that pulls syrian's back to linger. in that week right at the beginning but later celebrated in that way i certainly hope and deepest yearning for home but also happiness and i

need unsummoned songs i felt the sadness and pain of the syrian people. afterwards the name of their star for these founds lino is they embody a moment of the syria they remember. in the bundesliga had over went into their match up with frankfurt's on a fifteen game winless streak away from home and frankfurt took full advantage of their opponents struggles of luck. for it first world cup runner up and say right that return to the starting line up for the first time this season and his presence seemed to inspire his teammates. in the thirty six minutes of us in our last set up evan and deacon and the nineteen year old frenchman scored his first goal. surely before the break out was the provider again setting out right bitch who made it to nil the far too passive already the game look beyond the fact that was just as

five races remaining and almost out of sight of the lead. champagne all round from a slave east thanks to both houses team spirit. helen is here now with business news and a crisis averted at a major german company that's right sarah looking at one of the most radical shake ups at a big german company in decades to some clip saying that it's managed to stay clear of its leadership and strategy crisis that softer supervisory board still gets to top management post late on sunday and approve plans to spit split the company in it see you know cap off was approved as the new c.e.o. for the next five years we will be hearing from him in just a moment to find out where he plans on taking the company which has faced yes of turmoil. this is how german industrial giant tizen corp likes to present itself you know of a tube with an eye to the future but the steel and industrial component producer is

having to take drastic action to see that future come to pass it plans to split its holding into two new companies to some group supervisory board approved the move at a meeting over the weekend the plan will see one company inheriting to some crops elevator and automotive component production while the second will take over its steel and construction materials manufacturing it's a drastic step but a much needed one if the company is to survive. european the steel prices plunged in two thousand and eleven after cheap chinese steel began to flood world markets unlike many of its competitors to some cope didn't turn to mass layoffs and the low commodity prices have hit the company hard leading to liquidity issues and a twenty seven percent drop in its share price. as part of his encrypts restructuring the supervisory board also confirmed care called as the company's new c.e.o. . for more let's go directly to s.

and now and the new he appointed to sync up c.e.o. tito cal cough joins us thank you for joining us mr kat cough so to new companies which are supposed to be more nimble does this new set up mean there are job cuts to come. know out of this new set up that will have been split in two companies we will not have major layoffs we have a lot of performance improvement programs that are in place and that we announced a couple of months ago that we will continue but the split itself will not create additional job cuts which we have confirmed together with the unions that there will be no forced dismissals we've agreed with them about what why this move now because some major investors were reportedly the biggest proponents of the split saying it would well essentially unlock major value for shareholders so is this the right move for your employees and your customers as well.

i think definitely it's a right move and it's continuing the change of support for your overall that we have already started seven years ago never forget we have already changed forty percent of our revenues over the last years with the deal some stainless steel joint venture and the exit of the steel americas now we will continue and focus more individually on the strength of the two businesses meaning on the material side and on the industrial side and give them a proper set up that they can benefit from their strength and even perform better in the market environments i think it is a very good solution for all involved parties it's good for the employees because we create better and financially stronger companies that will give them a better outlook going forward on the other hand with splitting the share into now former shareholders will have a material share and it doesn't drop industrial shareholders will benefit from the value outside that is intrinsic in this as well so i think it is a very good solution for all involved parties but just to go back to your point i

mean this is something that's been discussed for the past seven years and the company has seen years of turmoil i mean just encrypts managements face a lot of criticism as well in the past of being too slow to act where do you see the main challenges coming now globally. globally we have to see where the trends are but the global economic environment although carney people are talking about possible downturns in some regions we are still in a very positive and strong environment overall the u.s.b. of europe and even china is on good growth rates although people discuss that they might be lower in the future so we've seen a stronger development based on that we see mega trends towards more bigger cities and more transportation and traffic everywhere and this is where we definitely can participate with our elevator business with our components business for the older as it was our industrial technology business overall being in cement plants being

in right where else so we think we can participate here in a very good way in the new set up i just want to jump in to talk about those possible downturns though around the world because it's difficult to ignore them and with that in mind how soon can you as the new c.e.o. help the company return to profitability. we are profitable first of all i mean if you take a look we have improved our profitability over the last year six times and we have a guidance of a significant improvement of our net income so we are on a good track i think it's rather concerns that people do have around the balance sheet on the strength of it and the financial situation but not so much on the profitability so we have seen improvements and we have given out profitability improvement programs that we launched two months ago where we clearly say how we want to continue and where we do see it going and much of that we have on our own

happiness we don't depend on the markets because we have to have as you know get that competition i'm afraid we're out of time mistake ito capped off just encrypts c.e.o. but thank you very much indeed. and just a reminder now the top stories we're following for you rescuers in indonesia are scrambling to reach survivors of friday's earthquake and tsunami at least eight hundred people are confirmed dead and all forty say the toll is likely to rise the government struggling to deal with the often month of the disaster and has appealed to international health. canada signs on to a new trade deal with its southern neighbor this the trilateral agreement replaces nafta and will be known as the us mexico canada agreement. you're watching the news from berlin on heaven on free more coming up at the top of the hour see that.
