no superhero. smartarse smart stand a legend bring creasing really dangerous time for w. for my. body. this is deja vu news live from berlin the true scale of disaster of the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia starts to emerge. but a bit of survivors beg to be airlifted out of the area as food and medicine run out some say they haven't eaten for days the government is trying to rush aid to the

stricken region but it's facing many obstacles also. introduced are the true form of this. because of the. cost of the storm. joined to. introduce. the nobel academy of bird wards to scientists for their ground working work on cancer therapy we explain why their research plus a landmark in the fight against the disease. and today for canada says prime minister justin trudeau after his country agrees to a new trade deal with the u.s. and mexico the us mexico canada agreement is set to replace what used to be known as nafta. the man. i'm serious almost got to get to have you with us indonesia's government is struggling to cope with the af. the math of the earthquake and tsunami that hit the

region last week authorities are rushing to get aid and rescue equipment to the area the president has now called for other countries to pitch in and help more than eight hundred forty people have been confirmed dead so far tens of thousands of people are homeless. the moment disaster struck first an earthquake then this tsunami indonesia is no stranger to natural calamities and the government has been keen to show it was ready for this one but the region at the center of the disaster around the city of palu is remote so the rescue operation has been slow to get off the mark. this woman is begging to be airlifted out of the region are responding to the distress president joko widodo help distribute emergency food supplies he also authorized international aid agencies to enter the country to help struggling local authorities. we didn't expect it to be like this we hope and pray for the communities affected and ask

them to be patient we know that there are still a lot of things to do urgently but with conditions as they are that's not possible right now. the aid agencies may have permission to enter the country but they still face huge difficulties the biggest problem right now i think it's access a lot of agencies like ourselves struggling to get to locations most affected. or is one of. the most affected area desperately need to get into that location with other agencies and try and understand what's happened gradually people are being rescued this woman was pulled alive from a collapsed restaurant her condition was described as critical but she is one of the lucky ones the piles of concrete slabs are sometimes into precarious the stakes for rescue teams to operate they hear the cries of those trapped under the rubble but can do little to help. almost fifty thousand people have been evacuated from

the worst hit areas homes destroyed and fearful of aftershocks all they can do know is wait for aid from the indonesians thought is and from the international aid agencies to get through. and earlier we spoke to the asia pacific deputy director of the international red cross mark in fall or he gave us an update on rescue operations. the air rescue efforts are growing at this full speed. and there are so teams government teams on the military and it teams who are not part of the input costs in the course of court these are people who are from the community and we also have been in many hours a listener across the world to this support him it is very very difficult and they're seeing the pictures not the access is difficult to do first to areas and of course there's the aftershocks that these teams are doing very very important but

also dangerous for the biggest. of us across to work early to get hoot to get water to go first eight movie book here and what is also important to go psychosocial support you have to look after the physical needs on people who are many transports on their way now to the who are to. pirates floors the current broader bush ship was. disclosed and you have all been flying in ten what were turned tankers which are started to transport water we have a lake and region of course you have to order more on this usually to two different places with tankers cannot reach so this is being take they go out to two so i have to use and two to believe they can get out of this ridge.

all right let's catch up now on some other stories making headlines around the world two people have been killed and dozens others injured as a powerful typhoon swept across the japanese naval highwinds and having rainfall battered regions that are still reeling from a series of extreme storms this latest typhoon has left hundreds of thousands of homes without power. iran's revolutionary guard says it has launched missiles targeting the militants behind the attack on a military parade in our vase nine days ago state run television said the attacks had killed and wounded militants in eastern syria and there was no word from syrian state media on the strike rights groups in iraq are sounding the alarm over a number of recent killings of high profile women the latest death was twenty two year old iraqi model and instagram star tara faras who was shot dead in her car in baghdad last week iraq's prime minister has ordered elite intelligence units to investigate the murders. and in catalonia demonstrators are marking the one year

anniversary of a failed referendum on breaking away from spain independence supporters marched through streets and barricaded regional highways and roads others blocked the tracks of the high speed rail way in the northern city of your own. now this year's nobel prize for medicine has been jointly awarded to two immunologist for their work on therapies to combat cancer announcing its decision a short while ago the carlin scott institute in stockholm said the prize would be shared by japan joe and james alison of the us allison studied a protein that functions as a break on the immune system while discovery of a protein on immune cells led to effective treatments in the fight against cancer. and derek williams from science is with us to tell us more about this decision hi derek did this come as a surprise to you actually kind of did because well first of all my predictions are never correct the first place but this was in my opinion this is still very early

days in this technology so the technology of treating cancer the way that it can be used to treat cancer hasn't been around for all of that long a time and so it did kind of taken by surprise they certainly weren't in the front runners when you were reading the pundits online before ok so tell us about why their work is significant it is is it. significant work because. kidd the way that we treat cancer up until now we've we've we've basically had three different approaches either you treated it with surgery or you treated it with radiation you burned it away you there operated away burned it away or you treated it with chemicals chemotherapy and these researchers had a different idea the idea was why don't we try to activate the body's immune system to fight the cancer itself so it's a completely different paradigm it's a completely different approach to the problem and what they did you have these these cells in your immune system that are called t. cells they're killer cells they they they kill anything that's not your body that's their job in the immune system the thing is that with cancer cells they managed to

hide they managed to convince the t. cells in your immune system that they're ok that they're still part of your body and so. that's that's been a major problem that was the major hurdle to overcome and the scientists what they did was they found particular breaks of course the t. cells can't just attack anything they have to know what the body is and so there are breaks on these t. cells that keep them from attacking the body's own internal cells to keep in to keep them from from from from killing the body itself and what they did was they removed these breaks on the team still so the t. cells were then able to recognise more quickly and easily and efficiently the cancer cells and take care of them so you have the body basically the idea behind it unlike chemotherapy or radiation therapy or surgery you're not attacking the cancer cells you're teaching the body or you're allowing the body to deal with the problem itself so a whole new paradigm in cancer treatment so really complex work and it sounds like also very relevant to people suffering from cancer it is ended and it is proving effective but as i said it's still very early days and of course there are some

side effects that are involved when you remove these breaks on the t. cells some patients can have difficulties with that but in general they've already lengthened lives for patients significantly particularly in particular kinds of cancers like like melanoma skin cancers they have already lengthened their lives significantly and the hope is that in common. nation with these more traditional therapies that they will be able to do even even more to help those patients in the future all right derek williams from d.w. sciences the nobel prize for medicine awarded to. james allison thank you very much dirk and staying in sweden where a court has handed down a two year sentence for rape to a french national in a scandal that has rocked the nobel literature prize award body what are know is an important cultural figure in sweden and married to a member of the switch academy that awards the prestigious prize and last year a swedish paper published allegations of sexual misconduct by eighteen women

against are no and this year's nobel literature prize has been postponed while the cademy quote regroup seven restores trust. here in germany six men have been arrested on suspicion of forming a far right terrorist group in the eastern city of chemist's federal prosecutors said the men planned to carry out armed attacks against foreigners and left wing activists anti foreigner violence flared and cabinets in august after a local man was killed in an altercation with several migrants. let's bring in our political correspondent bryant who is tracking this story for us good to see you what more can you tell us about these people who are arrested. well there are six of them they're all between twenty and thirty years old they are meant to have already started trying to get fire weapons trying to get weapons to execute some kind of. plan that they were meant to have had possibly in the next

few days and on wednesday on the third of october which is the german national holiday the day of german unity so in a sense this was also some kind of preventative attack they were already involved in an attack two weeks ago in came that's where foreigners were attacked by these people and the leader of the group has been under arrest since that time the other five people now all rested in the last twenty four hours and have that we've been looking at pictures of those very large right wing protests that took place in cabinets in august now these arrests is there a connection. there's i think there is a kim that has become some sort of symbolic symbol for right wing activism in germany in the last couple of months that there was a very significant political dispute about right wing groups in can that's which involve the interior intelligence chief in germany who in fact lost his job because

in the past few weeks he seemed to downplay the seriousness of rightwing activism in the town now with these arrests and with the alleged formation of a terrorist group on the right wing. those allegations by the interior intelligence chief seem to be counteracted seem to be disproved so in a sense all of these discussions about ken that's in the last couple of months are coming to some kind of conclusion in this arrest and there seems to be some real problem in that area our political correspondent has front thank you for that update. today is the international day of older persons as designated by the united nations now it recognizes that there are many more older people in the world than there used to be thanks to people living healthier lives and in many parts of the world more prosperous lives one radio station in the south of england caters to their needs but listen to. one of angel radios top presenters

washington guaranteed that all three members will be in the new version of the trade pact. is a predator is it a good idea is it did you ever get it 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 sign of an agreement on tariffs on canadian steel and. canada says the deal is good because the country can also go to an independent referee when it has a trade dispute with the u.s. and 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 and the government in

washington says it's been able to negotiate a much better deal for american farmers as canada gave in to u.s. demands to open up its highly protected dairy market something american politicians have pushed for a long time in mexico the government was relieved that the new free trade deal comprises all north american countries we are very pleased to announce now that this remains a trilateral agreement an agreement in which mexico the united states and canada have successfully renegotiated and modernize the disciplines that were in the north american free trade agreement or nafta. the us and mexico had already agreed to a new deal in august mexico accepted that more industrial production will take place in the u.s. to protect american jobs all three governments are relieved that a last minute compromise has been reached as the three economies are highly interwoven the deal just in time production in many different industries is now

safe. i'm joined now by my colleague aaron tilton aaron charm is hailing this deal as a success is it well certainly from his perspective i would say it is a major success you have to remember donald trump has always prided himself on being the deal maker i mean if you really look at his political career short as it may have been up to now he's always expressed extreme skepticism when it comes to international organizations and multilateral agreements you know he came in on a policy saying that he was going to be the throat nafta or completely rewrite it he was going to do it on his own terms so in terms of a policy standpoint this really is a success for him because basically he went to canada he went to mexico he gauged or his peers people engage in direct diplomacy and he managed to get individual deals which kind of circumvent the multinational free trade agreements that have always been kind of a thorn in his eye so i suppose the question is really how different is this new deal from nafta well that kind of remains to be seen i mean not a lot has come out so far we haven't seen the official text of the deal being

published up to this point but as we heard the report right now some of the canadian markets will be open for american farmers especially the dairy industry which has long been protected by by canadian government policies we've also seen some some acquiesces made in comes to cars and how many cars will be able to be sent to the united states free of exports actually raise that slightly but when it comes down to the really nitty gritty we're going to have to wait and see exactly what is in this in this deal when it's released the congress later well right and you will be covering that story for us are until today from v.w. business thank you very much and your feet. now to one of the most radical shake ups that have big german company in decades to sit clip says it's managed to stick lay off a need a ship and strategy crisis that's after a supervisory board filled two top management posts late on sunday and of proof plans to split the company into quito tat cough was approved as the new c.e.o.
