i will be in the middle of the radio this early going to. look. in 60. years after the fall of the berlin wall nov 9th 2 w. . bank months of picketing seems to be paying off the management of the us auto giant general motors and union representatives say they've reached a tentative agreement potentially ending the fiercest labor dispute at g.m. in decades also comes less than 2 weeks before the presidential election millions of argentinians are facing

a housing crisis which many say was caused by incumbent. policies and is a great deal hangs in the balance at this very hour we take a look at the british sector which wonder if it might be about to run out of room. because. the harshest labor dispute at general motors and almost 50 years appears to be resolved on wednesday negotiators for g.m. and auto union representatives reached a tentative agreement demanding a share of profits or benefits and stronger future commitments by the company tens of thousands of g.m. workers began a walkout last month crippling the carmakers u.s. operations. the hard fought deal won't bring an immediate end to the strike by $49000.00 workers they are likely to stay on the picket lines for at least 2 more days as union committees vote on the deal which members must then also approve for many braving the raw. and in the picket lines the strike has been about broader

issues as well as the big deal always the issue is if you like reporting not just for us personally but for the middle class and. that's seen great white people come . for all different walks of life come along with it so it's really kind of really you know we had a case. the terms of the tentative 4 year contract weren't initially released but it's believed they were include some pay raises lump sum payments to workers and required general motors to produce new vehicles at u.s. factories g.m. has already offered to make new models and 2 of the 4 u.s. cities where it had planned to close production facilities. all right let's get some more of the story with our correspondents a better customer wall street sabrina g.m. stock has suffered heavily during this month long strike why did it take so long to reach an agreement. well so the last 30 days were probably

one of the most expensive periods such an ever face in an entire strike history measure we had 50000 people not working dozens of assembly lines closed for it assembly plants shut down entirely without enormous production losses and of course pressure on the board $88000000.00 that's the amount g.m. lost every day because people were protesting in front of more than 30 factories instead of sitting at their weapons as a weapon a so if we have a look at the last 30 days g.m. probably just about $2000000000.00 and they're still space for even higher costs to come because of the 0 still needs approval from local union leaders and members and they want to fight for their rights but it is within reach disagreement what does it mean for general motors. well it all depends on whether

out we will see an agreement or not and on the future of plans g.m. comes up with international carmakers agree on the fact that electronic vehicles and have driving cars are vital to future success of the car industry so the problem here is that g.m. still heavily relies on s.u.v. and pickup trucks so they make billions of dollars in profit with that which is why it was worrying whether g.m. can turn things around the future on not so the board so far promised to invest in electronic pickup trucks and better effect research but still it remains highly unclear if american but you must really want to buy these cars so bring the customer in new york thank you so much. in less than 2 weeks the people of argentina are set to elect their president and things aren't looking good for incumbent mark are you not only is he facing a competitor who is running on a ticket with former president cristina fernandez the case now who is known for improving living conditions for the poor on top of that mr maher face market
